Android 8.0 Oreo is being pushed to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone to access today. The update builds for Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Pixels has entered into carrier testing, and Google expects the phased roll out to begin soon alongside that of the Pixel C and Nexus Player. Google is also working closely with OEM partners like Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony to ensure that new devices are either launched with Android 8.0 Oreo or are upgraded to the latest sweet. Further, devices in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version.
So this means its time for new roms to pop up all across the board, for many devices.
We all have been waiting so patiently.
Oreo update version, if Enrol now
Hi

Should be final since the reveal already happened. Overheard they started rolling out releases already. Not beta.

Thank you Huskied. I did the update by enrolling the beta programme, I got the final release.
And yeah, this is something like a force update, if the OTA didn't hit the device.

Hello everybody,
I'm using a Galaxy SII i9100 with an omnirom mod and just learned that Google released an update for android 4.4.4 (which is the latest omnirom mod for my phone) called "LMY49G" to fix some security issues. Does anyone know if theres a plan to develop an appropriate update for the omnirom mod (and therewith also for my Galaxy S2)?
Thanks for every answer.
Google actually did a KitKat security update?
Interesting. We did do some KK security updates, will need to talk to the team about this one for devices that never saw L or later.
Right, relying on my information that update called "LMY49G" has been released for android 4.4.4, 5.0 and 5.1.1; for version 6.0 and 6.0.1 the release is called "2016-02-01", I think its the day of the release. As far as I know the update has only been released for google nexus devices and for blackberries with android. It should fix some critical security issues. Maybe that information is helpful?

That doesn't make sense on further thought...
Anything 4.4 would have a K prefix to the build. Something starting with L would be a 5.x build.
https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-02-01.html says 4.4.4 for "updated versions" for some items, however - I can't find an appropriate release tag for these anywhere in AOSP.
Some of them appear to be some of the old Stagefright vulnerabilities which we already backported fixes for...
God the documentation for this update is confusing/poor...
Okay, today I got a notice, that there's been another update called "LMY49H". Again its been released for Nexus and Blackberry Android devices to fix some critical security issues. And also again its called LMY49H (obviosly just the last letter changed) for android 4.4.4, 5.0.2 (thats also different this time) and 5.1.1 but "2016-03-01" for versions 6.0 and 6.0.1. So I think this time its from the beginning of march. You're sure all of those problem have been fixed in the omnirom mod before?
Thanks for your help!
Wileyfox has just posted the following statement on their Facebook page:
Wileyfox said:
In light of the recent news from Cyanogen, every Wileyfox user's experience will remain unchanged - hooray!
This was expected and we are confident with the smooth transition planned in an upcoming over-the-air update for the entire Wileyfox product range that will migrate away from Cyanogen’s refocus strategy, and on to a purer Android experience – enhanced.
We strongly recommend that all current and future users accept the upcoming update request to ensure they are on-board for the future. This will include the ability to maintain the same experience as before and the added ability to partake in updates and upgrades to the software in the future.
We will continue to push this update to your device, and for new users we again recommend they download and install this update upon purchase.
We have been ruthlessly testing this and planning a distribution for this update, with a rollout to be released beginning today with immediate effect. Once this transition is implemented and users accept this upcoming update, our first order of business is to focus on delivering Android Nougat 7.0 across the portfolio beginning as early as February, and the entire portfolio by end of Q1 2017.
We value our customers above anything else, and therefore will now take full direct control on all such upgrades to ensure all devices, not just the flagship’s, will get these regular updates.
What this means is we at Wileyfox are still committed to continuous security and Android updates for the entire user base (old, current, and new), a bloatware free OS, deeply integrated value added services, and a promise to maintain a no bull**** attitude to the Wileyfox user experience.
We hope you had an amazing Wileyfoxmas. We look forward to 2017 and beyond, in a Wileyfox world of no bull****!

Can you confirm it? If possible, attach a picture of Settings > About device screen, that'd be very helpful. My Swift 2+ arrives Jan 6th, until them I'm going blind on OS related things

I can't confirm with a screenshot because although I have my phone I am still waiting for the update notification. I know that the new software will not be Cyanogen OS because in their official statement Wileyfox say:

I have a rooted swift trying to push an OTA update - so either I need the latest update they are pushing as a zip (safest) or jump to cyanogenmod nightlies (which I'd prefer not to do) since TB currently can't "write" to the SD..
Does anyone have the latest OTA as a zip?
yep

Hi,
Can we expect to have firmware source code for this device?
Thank you
I wrote a mail to Wileyfox Support to get some information about working together with the community, this is the response:
Hello XXX,
Thank you for your response.
We do not supply drivers for our handsets, these can be obtained by doing a simple search on most search engines online.

And yes, there are some pieces of source code available (don't blame me if I'm wrong, don't got enough time to take a deeper look):

On FB i get a message from Wileyfox NL, that the update to 7.1.1. is coming for the Swift-2 serie in 2 weeks. After that the Swift-1 and the Storm in 4 or 5 weeks en at last the Spark in the end of april.
*Wileyfox news message* Just received from London about the developments of our upgrade to Android 7.1.1 Nougat. As it looks now, we will first upgrade the entire Swift 2 series within two weeks. Within 4-5 weeks following the upgrades for the Swift and the Storm. Spark & X + will receive the upgrade by the end of April.
All upgrades will be offered through the WiFi network. Make sure the battery is charged at least 50%, otherwise will be unable to start the upgrade. Important dates remain neatly on the devices, though we recommend to always have a backup of your important data.
All Wiley Features of Cyanogen OS will continue to exist in this upgrade.
If there are any questions please let us know. Good day!
Regards,
Wileyfox Netherlands
I'm especially awaiting the improved Doze.

Well it was meant to come out today but wileyfox said on Facebook that it's been delayed so you could be waiting a while :/
In the last 2 days my Swift 2 rebooted by itself 3 times.
Then this morning I had the message to upgrade to 7.1.1.
I accepted, but I had not enough storage available (1.4GB the download...).
I made a bit of cleanup, during which it rebooted again, and now I don't have the option to upgrade: if I check, it says I'm upgraded (version us still 6.0.1)
Anyone has similar experience?
How can I perform the upgrade?
Thanks:
Short answer shorter: a leaked EMUI 5.0 schedule from Huawei claims the M3 edition of Android 7.0 (not 7.1) and EMUI 5.0 (with rumored much lower EMUI annoyance quotient (EMUIAQ)) is going into beta, and this may have already been released as of this past Wednesday the 18th. Release version is scheduled to go final in April and public in May. No word on if this is correct, current and not delayed, or even real. If you can read Chinese you may be able to glean a bit more info from the image.
Mate 8 users update to EMUI 5.0 over here.
Bonus cookie points if you know sekrit publik Huawei FTP dumps to check. Post type set to Q&A so any ROMs can get put up top.
You may want to see these two official thread on Chinese Huawei forum:
Here you may see some dates when some stagis of distributing EMUI 5.0 will come
And here you may try to become a beta tester

Forme it shows a chinese message which says "Site closed ..."
Do participants have to sign a NDA or why is there zero communication about the beta in forums?

That's actually a good question. I couldn't find any infos either...
I hope open beta comes soon, the 6.0 build is slow as hell.
I saw an update today, changing the build number from B002 to B003, but no other version info or specifics listed. I'll update tonight and see what it is.
Has anyone had success signing up for the Beta program & actually received outreach of any kind?
Also, has anyone from the US gotten signed up?
Thanks.
@iihito702 was able to update to 5.0 in thks thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-m3/help/help-please-emui-5-0-mediapad-m3-t3554620

Wondering when Nougat EM5 comes to this device. Wish there were more hype and development on it. Love the device/hardware, hate the lack of evolution and EMUI 4.
Sent from my BTV-W09 using Tapatalk
I'm on BTV-DL09-C100-B302 (a very advanced EU test version I guess) and it is very stable.
If you can find an android 6 EMUI 4.1 full stock rom for your region (equivalent to BTV-DL09-C100-B009 for Europe), you can always, while waiting for the official release, update to a very advanced test/unofficial version if you find one for your region also.
BTV-DL09-C100-B302 has been very stable so far and it offers a nice look and feel and experience. I do love EMUI and the v5.0. It's a nice mix between IOS / android.
I don't think the official release will be any different and better than BTV-DL09-C100-B302. Security and bug fixes probably but very fine as it is.
Better battery life so far, wifi, bluetooth and LTE and... fingerprint sensor are perfectly stable. Compared to B006, better cellphone signal strength and it's stable (or my cell provider has improved the coverage in my area which is also possible also).
Like you, I would love to get a full official Nougat EMUI 5.0 rom though.
mid May and NO update?

I unlock my S6 running Nougat with fingerprint and I noticed that on MarshMallow it did not require the PIN as much as it does on Nougat. I would say that Nougat has tighter restrictions regarding fingerprint unlock. I only use the fingerprint to navigate, partly because of this behaviour.
HI,
I haven't been on here for years. Anyway, is there a way we can flash our phones to the most recent OS?
I've tried researching on here but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance.
The simple answer is no. Even though Android Oreo (8.0) has been officially released by Google it was only for the Pixel and Nexus Phones. Phone like the Essential made by other OEMs won't get the update until that manufacturer makes a officially ROM for their phone using the Android O code from Google. Hopefully since Essential uses the barbones stock Android ROM it won't take long for them to push out an 8.0 update. Another way to get 8.0 early would be to install a custom ROM built from O open source code from Google. And since we don't don't have kernel /source code from Essential yet and for that matter even TWRP custom recovery, it will be a little bit until we see custom Roms. Hopefully though Essential will either push out an update soon or release source code for the stock rom. Until that happens there will be no Android O. Sounds like we'll all just be patiently waiting to find out what happens in time.
Honor Started their EMUI 9 based on Android Pie 'a beta testing. They recruited 500 users for it. But now all they are doing is madness.
First they released a faulty version of beta which they send to Beta and no beta tester which make their devices to stick in eRecovery. They fixed that problem, devices were recovered. But now its even more of a different story.
They are providing beta update randomly to users. Beta tester and non beta testers are getting pie beta while in a different pace they also releasing a Feb security patch.
Now the problem is, when a non beta tester(a general user) gets the beta update they can't report any bug, they are stuck. And those who signed up, if they update the security patch they are getting kicked out from beta program. It has been such a mess.
Please XDA, you can reach to Huawei/Honor when we cannot. Please take this problems public, only maybe then they will provide these things correctly.
For a reference: https://club.hihonor.com/in/topic/361221/detail.htm
i also got kicked out from the project after updating my security patch. I was so much excited for the project but now m dissapointed badly
