[Q] Personalize OTA update?

I just received a notification of an OTA update to the Personalize app. I'm on stock ROM, rooted, unlocked, S-off.
Doesn't appear to be a big system update, but I assume I would need to go back to stock recovery if I want to accept this, yes? Any other way to dismiss the persistent update notification?
Thanks for any help!

Yes stock recovery is always needed for an official ota.

Usually for an application update, you don't need stock recovery. It just something like you download from Play Store. Download and install.
To dismiss the notification, you need to download then select cancel when it ask to install

It does say it's just an app it wants to install, but says it will restart afterwards and that I won't be able use my phone during the update etc. So I assume it's not a regular app update.
Thanks for both answers, I'll figure out which route to take later.

Maybe too.
To confirm, just download it then select install later
Connect to PC then browse to internal sdcard/download and see whether the OTA.zip is there. If yes then it's not regular app update.

Tried downloading and got a message that download was corrupted at which point I could cancel. I've still no idea what this update is, seems a bit suspicious as I just s-offed and rooted yesterday. Has anyone else received an update like this (see attachment).

Android q beta 2

Anyone running Android Q beta 2 ? Can you make a comparison to Pie in terms of speed or apps that crash or hang? TIA

I have no apps crashing and no apps unable to start. Performance and battery are identical to Pie.
The Android Q is definitely a daily driver for me.
EDIT: The only single issue I have is that double-tap or lift to wake are not working.

How best to backout of the AndroidQ beta2?
Installed but Android Auto is playing up so want to go back to v8

Can't mount system partition R/W on Marlin using TWRP 3.2.3-1 once updated to AQB2 (although I did a dirty update by removing the -w erase flag from the bat file before executing.) Guess I'll try nuking everything and rebuilding from scratch to see if the partitions will mount R/W to install Magisk...

Is anyone able to set his own mp3 ringtone on this?

Good Information:
Does it work with Android Q beta DP2 patch (marlin-qpp2.190228.023-factory-c262576d.zip)?

As you can see in this screenshot, it's working just fine. You have to install the latest Magisk canary build. TWRP won't work to do some backups, but you can flash it fine.

Been running Q2 for a few days and is a great daily driver. As soon as Nova paid was installed I have no complaints
and battery life has been excellent. Coming from the Essential phone rooted this has been a pleasant surprise. For 180.00 new
unlocked on Sprint this is a good deal. I also prefer the 16x9 screen and camera.

So, I have some weirdness going on…
I screwed up and tried to install the last P build after getting the ota beta Q update….i had issues (possibly of my own making).
Realized that trying to go back wasn’t going to work so I thought I would just reinstall the Q beta version 2, I downloaded it…all seemed well until I wanted to get to “settings”
I can pull the “curtain’ down and see a few quick access icons (wifi, Bluetooth, airplane mode…) but it won’t pull farther down (second swipe) to see other options and the “settings” gear at the top. I also don’t seem to be getting notifications, I hear them but don’t see an icon.
I also can’t get to the setting that allow me to transfer files.
Any ideas?
Edit: also can't get to my app drawer...
Edit 2: home button doesn't work either...
I got it, it must have been a bad "dirty flash", did a clean install, and all is working as expected...except,
I've got root but can't see my internal storage with ES file explorer (I can see it when using my PC) (or any other root explorer) and can't edit my build.prop (can't save it)

I did a clean flash, and had the same issue with the internal storage. It was weird though because chrome couldnt see it either, and kept failing to get permission to store files. Doing another Wipe now to try and resolve it...

Wasn't talking about hotspot specifically.... The issue with Chrome is still there, still not able to download anything, as it pops up that it needs permission, I hit continue...and nothing. It normally gives the permission request notification here, but it does not.

Right, I don't think I've tried to download anything with chrome, I want the permissions so I can edit the buildprop file.
Having just checked, I also cannot download anything using chrome, Opera doesn't seem to have a problem, though. I didn't check any other browsers

After clean flash, still having the same issue with the downloads. Going to Solidexplorer shows that the sdcard partition never created a Download folder. Chrome also is completely not working now, so definitely rolling back until it's resolved.

I tried opting out the beta and opting back in and that still didn't work

Maybe restarting and downloading again fix this problem

Yeah, I'm having the same issue.
I even did a factory reset, still no go.

I always flash ota in recovery personally
Worked perfectly. Have to say this is ultra smooth and noticeably snappier

Thanks I also adb sideloaded the update and your right it's very smooth

I was able to upgrade. But update bricked my phone. Phone freezes with "G" logo and progress bar bellow. I've posted on twitter, but no reply from google.

I always update by downloading the zip image and removing the -w parameter in the .bat file inside, worked great with beta 6.
Have any of u guys problems with facial recognition? i had mine set it up and now its not working

factory reset.

Android 11 screwed up system gesture navigation in 3rd party launchers (again). I've just returned to 3 button nav bar + edge gestures app. Now I have the best out of both worlds. Quick and easy to use nav bar and also swipe gestures.

Thanks, I had tried setting the stock launcher to check if this was the case to no avail. Evidently I hadn't opened the home screen to let it load. Now have it working with no custom launcher and very slow animations... Hope MIUI can fix this soon.

I find stock animations very slow too (be it "clean" Android or MIUI) - enabling 0.5x speed for all animations in developer settings feels much snappier.
Btw. it's not a fault of MIUI, this time Google is to blame.

Yeah I've since found other complaints of broken gesture navigation with third party launchers on Samsung devices. I guess hopefully it's either patched in upstream Android by Google or Xiaomi patch it within MIUI.
Unfortunately, the MIUI stock launcher and Recents doesn't respect the 0.5% animation speed setting!
I've also found that you can no longer change individual app dark mode settings. The app list is just empty, still respects any that were setup prior to the update though.

I can't comment on stock launcher as I'm on Nova launcher, but recents screen seems to be snappy. I don't use it that often though, so maybe it's with 100% speed.
I can still change individual apps in dark mode - but only when the dark mode is active. It takes about 3 seconds for list of all apps to appear though, on the first sight the feature seems missing/broken.

The two main things I've noticed is the notification led is now bright enough to actually be useful.
And on poco launcher 2 if you keep pressing back to exit from an app or push the home button sometimes you get the apps icon appearing at the top left of the screen for a few seconds for some reason.
But if you switch to system launcher and back again this bug goes away until you restart the device.

Are you sure that you are flashing the same version of ROM as you have currently installed? You can use recovery update only from the very same region - Global or EU or China or Russia or another.

You might find the culprit with logcat - enable usb debugging, start "adb logcat" on the PC with the phone connected and run the update again. There should be an error message displayed with more details.

Hello, for some reason it is working now. It is currently updating. How can I later update from beta to stable, or is it already stable?

Question Solved: Device can not see OTA

Edit-It turns out since our AA global edition takes OTA directly from Google server instead of OnePlus like EU & India. I tried fastboot booting the original image and the two incremental updates showed up but wouldn't dl & install until I fastboot flashed the original images, so the boot has to match from what I gather. I just need to figure out where the OTA is stored before I reboot. I looked on sdcard under .OTA but it didn't show so that is what I'd like to know. Thanks to everyone on the forum because I'd definitely be lost like usual if it wasn't for all the help and contributions.
(My original question)-
Hi, would anyone know why my 9 Pro(AA) cannot see the OTA file I downloaded with Oxygen updater? By the way, in oxygen updater the update, it only shows in advanced mode.

Advanced mode in Oxygen updater is normal if you have root.
Does Oxygen updater have storage permission?

Make sure it's on the root. Make sure it's a .zip

Hi thanks for the reply y'all. Yes the file is downloaded but when I go to system for apply update locally, it can't see the zip.

Hi thanks, yes all that I made sure of. I tried renaming, etc but maybe because by default I'm not getting the update and by default oxygen updater is not showing the incremental update. It's only being showed when I check advanced. I can go to the file with my file manager but it's like when I select local file the system doesn't detect it. Everything is just like on my 8 pro except the system not being able to see the file and says place in root directory which it is. Maybe because I believe it's a India OTA possibly? I'm on 11.0.4.4 trying to go to 11.2.6.6. thanks everyone,

Probably the wrong region. It won't offer it via Settings if it's not the right region. Check your Oxygen Updater settings to make sure you picked the correct region.

{Mod edit: Quoted post deleted}
Thanks, I've just bitten my tongue so hard the tip fell off.

I was using the 'Props' module tool to spoof to a pixel 5. I could not see the update until I reverted this.
After that the update *.zip showed and I was able to apply it.
