Changelog:

  • Device Specific:

    • October security patch
    • Fixed the smoothness of brightness transitions
      • brightness now changes in the smallest steps possible, so lower brightness range adjustment no longer feels choppy
      • the effect is similar to the hack at the end of android10, but the implementation is much better
    • Improved the double click haptic feedback to actually feel like a double click
      • you can try it by putting a wrong finger on the fingerprint sensor
    • Tweaked the default thermal profile to hotplug two big CPU cores when the device is really hot
      • in terms of thermal mitigation, offlining two CPU cores is a lot more effective than throttling frequencies
      • when the device is under thermal pressure, having two big cores at relatively higher frequencies is generally more advantageous than having four big cores with lower frequencies
      • the gaming profile (under Settings/Battery/Thermal profiles) remains unchanged
    • Misc fixes and translation updates

  • Etude kernel:

    • Linux 4.9.286
    • merged CAF tag LA.UM.9.8.r1-04000-SDM710.0 with fix on cdsp regression
    • DO NOT use a third party kernel without proper support for Pixel thermal hal

NOTE

  • You can dirty flash normal version over previous BETA builds but clean flash is recommended for installing Plus version.
  • Users might face minimal Jitters right after updating, But give it some time, an hour or two and it’ll be totally alright.
  • Do not flash any other kernel on A11. First check if it supports Pixel Thermals.
