ViperOS (AOSVP) Release Official Oreo 8.1 Based Builds

Over the course of last year, ViperOS has established itself as a feature rich ROM with great stability. The Nougat based builds of ViperOS were acclaimed by the Android community, and as a result, when Google dropped the source code of Oreo in August of last year, there was a great demand for Android 8.0 based AOSVP. ViperOS released several Oreo 8.0 builds, and after Android 8.1 was released three months ago, ViperOS developers got working on perfecting their ROM with Oreo 8.1 as the base. After several months of testing, the official builds of Oreo 8.1 based AOSVP 4.1 are up for grabs.

As compared to Nougat builds of AOSVP, the Oreo builds have lesser number of features. ViperOS have said that there has been a reduction in features to enhance stability. Here's what ViperOS wrote in their release post on Telegram:

Our purpose with the name AOSVP changed. Today we value a system with fewer features and a clean interface, bringing stability and smoothness to users for many devices without compromising performance and offering useful features for all. In future updates, some features may improve and others can be implemented.

As mentioned, more features may be added in future updates. For now, these are the features present in AOSVP 4.0:

Statusbar
* AOSVP logo
* Auto brightness icon
* Battery options
* Brightness slider on footer
* Carrier label
* Clock options
* Double tap to sleep
* Network traffic

Lockscreen
* Custom lockscreen settings
* Lockscreen weather

Multi tasking
* Clear all button on recents

System
* Ambient Play (CypherOS)
* Ambient Weather (CypherOS)
* Color engine (Styles)
* Double/Long tap options customization
* Navbar button layout
* Notification ticker
* Power menu options
* VoLTE icon

For stability reasons, only a handful of devices are supported officially. These include:

• OnePlus 3
• Redmi Note 3
• Redmi Note 4
• Mi 5
• Moto G4 Plus
• Moto G5
• Moto G3 (2015)
• Moto G Turbo
• Moto G5 Plus
• Moto G5S Plus

Official builds of ViperOS can be found on the XDA forums and Android File Host. If Oreo 8.1 based ROMs are available for your device, and your device isn't officially supported, chances are that an unofficial build will be available on the XDA forums of your device.

Since the official builds of ViperOS don't support OTA for now, you will have to manually check for updates. To do that you can follow the Telegram channel of ViperOS where all the updates are posted.
