Will official and sharp version of Lollipop ever see the light of day ?

It is soon august in just 2 todays, I wonder will Lollipop ever se the light of day ? Lollipop have been delayed for soon 6 months or so,
Huawei get a big "fail" in this regard..
Just to make sure, I am not a beta tester I am a customer, which means it is not my job to be a beta tester and provide feedback to Huawei, it is their job to employ a team of "beta testers" not use "free working ants" who do there job for free.
Unfortunately it has taken so long that I will for sure think twice of ever buying a Huawei device again.
They are a good hardware company but their software lacks both updates and functions
Just compare with most Lollipop devices out there right now, even the latest MEIZU have a more fun looking look.
All the animations are boring as **** and non inspiring on Mate 7. On default settings the animations are very slow which make me frustrated, I have set the animation on faster speed but that on the other hand makes them less smooth.
It is sad, I really liked Huwei they showed so much promise for the future and did do so many things right, but it really feels they have forgotten all the million people who have bought this device it is not acceptable. By the time Lollipop is available for Mate 7 that Android M is already rolled out so no people will be happy when lollipop is finally available... cause then we are already 1 year behind again.
I`ll take a rock stable KK rom over a buggy L rom anytime There`s nothing i misss from Lollipop tbh and i ran it on the Nexus 6.
Perfect solution?
Nexus from Huawei
Actually I second gee. I have broken my LG G3, and bought a Mate. There is NOTHING at all I miss from the (battery draining) lollipop on this great phone.
Only thing I miss a bit is lockscreen notification - but NiLS does a great job here.
IF (when) lollipop arrives I shall update it - but I don't miss it at all
It will you just have to wait. The Kirin chipset is kinda different. See how it's so fluid for KK compared to other chips which caused some lags? Lollipop must have changed it 180 degrees hence it will need more time for optimization

I have been trying a few launchers this week because I am so dead tired of the apperance on the M7.
However I have not fallen in love with any of the launchers yet...this include nova..
I wish there was more multi tasking functions..
There is a app that is called heads-up which brings lollipop style notifcation.. I place these in the middle of screen cause this is very my thumb is normally.. I also use C notice in combination with it..this is perfect.. combo.. must have..

But most of 2014 devices have lollipop yes ?
5 year old android devices are included in your statistics, and these devices do not even support lollipop..
Wow it is 5th August today and still no official lollipop release I guess people are just happy with a beta version.

Speaking for me personally, I am simply happy to wait for a stable release.
I just switched to HAM7 from a Samsung Galaxy S4 on 5.0.1. I would choose HAM7 on Kitkat over the S4 with Lollipop any time. This is in terms of stability, battery life and performance.
Not to mention that the upgrade to Lollipop on the S4 reduced the battery life drastically and only a custom kernel can make the phone usable for a day. And these issues were not only on the outdated S4 but also in the S5.
All I'm saying is that I'd love to have Lollipop on the HAM but I would rather wait for a stable version than frustrate myself with a new update that makes my experience worse than it was before the upgrade.
Just look at the Samsung forums to see people asking how to downgrade to Kitkat soon after the Lollipop update was out.

You're right,
I had S4, Galaxy s4 battery life after the lollipop update VERY bad
It drops so fast, it was big mistake from samsung
Because the processor begin very hot after normal use!
That's why I would stay on KitKat it works perfect and the battery life is amazing
But that doesn't mean I don't want lollipop -,-
I have installed Nova Laucnher using Lollipop animations and also
Heads up notifcation (with c notice)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=codes.simen.l50notifications&hl=en
I must say with these two apps my desire for Lollipop is not as big I must say I have noticed a big performance improvement using Nova Launcher...
I recommend it to everyone.

My Galaxy Grand 2 story

Hey guys. It's been 4 years (almost 5) since i used this phone.
I bought this phone in 2014, it was trending in my country at that time and it was a pretty cool device. It was very big phone when i used it for the first time.
In Jelly bean 4.3 days: Obviously this is the original OS in this phone when you first bought it. It is pretty fast though. And i feel like I am using an s4 since their ui is similar. I never encountered lags since i am not playing games in this device. I am a light user. I only used it for text, calls, selfie and Facebook. Ohh I miss those days.
In KitKat 4.4.2 days: I was expecting a big change in this rom. When i saw the S5 ad, their ui was pretty cool and i always thought it will ship in this device but it did not. Its a little bit dissapointing for me. Until i get used to it.
By the way, i cant tell you the difference of 4.3 and 4.4.2. It only change the status bar icons to white! The performance is the same, the rest, just the same. Until i learned how to use custom roms. But at that time, kitkat custom roms was not very good. So i stayed and be contented in this os.
I expected lollipop on grand 2. Someone said it will happen, until i heard the news that grand 2 will receive lollipop and it is in development. And i was very excited!! I waited for months but sadly, they cancelled the update. So i was very sad.
Lollipop customs were available but im not used to stock android. I tried it but i dont like it in my opinion. Because i used only samsung phones since 2011. Im a touchwiz lover. Even if someone called it lagwiz.
Until aapav developed motion rom and i was very happy that lollipop in grand 2 was actually pretty good!! It was very similar with the S5 lollipop rom so, dream come true!!
So,
In Lollipop 5.1.1 days: I was very happy that this phone can run tw lollipop very well. Everything is working fine. But it got lags already. The camera was not similar with kitkat. I cannot use the 1.9mp on the rom (because it has a camera bug that was not fixed until now and then) the rest, its very okay. It feels like I am using new phone again in 2016. My battery was slightly bad and i need to charge my phone 2 times a day. I used lollipop rom until november 2018.
I saw a post that S5 mini receives marshmallow update so i expected that devs will port tw mm on grand 2. And it actually happened! But it has a lot of bugs and it made my phone not usable.
And I decided to with nougat roms because it became stable so i tried it.
In Nougat 7.1.2: my phone feels different. It was not surprising for me since a stock android (im a lagwiz lover remember) but at least it shows android 7.1.2 haha.
But i encounted a lot of problems. My battery is bad and it overheats my phone. So i stopped using it and went back to kitkat temporarilly.
Thankfully, tw mm development was still alive!! And i was very hyped! I waited days to post the rom. Finally bluetooth was fixed! So i used it. Until now.
Marshmallow 6.0.1 (Now): Similar to motion rom, but without stable cam. The rest is pretty fine. But i like the battery in this rom. It made me charge once a day!
I know its almost 2019 and my Galaxy Grand 2 gets old. But my software experience was still not obsolete for today's standards. Marshmallow is still fine in late 2018. If you ask me how my phone looks, i bought hard case with privacy tempered glass. Pretty cool actually, it makes your phone brand new.
I love my phone. I wont replace it until is really unusable. I cant believe that this phone can handle at least Android 7 even if this is old. Happy Grand 2 user here.
(This is my opinions, software experiences about this device. Please tell me your stories )

Is any OS update proper stable? After 4.5.14 ?

Hi, Friends
I m still on 4.5.14 ( Nougat ), it's not that I haven't tried updating the ram but when I updated ( to 4.5.15 ) i was getting low battery performance, less camera performance and overall it just didn't sound fully baked and stable enough for me to update.
What I need from a phone is :
Stable Run
Great Battery Performance
Good Camera Performance
Any other useful feature are optional that it already has without effecting the beforementioned points.
Now android has released version 10 so i am almost 3 OS ver behind , Can anybody help me to know, Are there any real benefits of updating to latest OS apart from cosmetic changes ? I am an old motorola G user so i had to ask since they have forced us as a user so that we will brick if we go back to previous versions, they had changed something in the booting process ( mix of hardware and software )( i don't have an option to root since i use lots of financial which doesn't work great with rooting etc )
For any one want to update ota without losing root
https://oneplusonestop.wordpress.com/2018/09/09/ota-update-rooted/
Please help me on this ? Is there no Op5 user here ?

There's no Android 10 for oneplus 5.
And the last OxygenOS versions are stable as Nougat. I can't imagine why you should not update to Pie?

Thank you for replying!
I know but i came from using Motorola Phones and they use to have a lot of issues with their updated ROMs plus they have disabled the functionality of rolling back as well so one has to take lots of precautions before updating to the latest roms even though they are available earlier than other manufacturers.
Just wanted to know if the rom is stable enough and didn't issue in normal use. I use lots of financial apps, due to security reasons rooting is a no go for me. So I am just being cautious.
Also, I use the non rooted version of GCam for Photography needs so is that still available with Pie or not ?

Thank you, Just one more question. Will it be easy to roll back to previous ROM ( Nougat ) in case I want to. I heard that since Oreo and in nougat there is some difference due to partitioning. Can I just upload the ROM onto the device and reboot into recovery to go back or I have to make partition myself?
The main thing I want to know is, DO I have to root to rollback or i can do that without rooting?

You can roll back with local upgrade, but that's always risky when downgrading and you have a locked bootloader. I can't recommend this.
Also rolling back from oreo to nougat I can't think of it.

I would think that using banking apps you'd probably want to be on a newer version just for the security updates. This is the main reason I'm sticking to stock these days and just taking ota updates. Stick to pixel or OnePlus or Android one devices etc and you don't need root to get good software. I use Google pay and banking apps, purchase order online so I don't want to mess with rooting anymore except on my old backup phones like my htc one m8 to update it to Oreo from marshmallow.
Even if I could have root and Google pay working then you can't just keep updated by over the air updates as far as I know. I'd spend too much time researching how to install updates and regain root etc while now I just get an update pop up on my phone once every couple of months and tell it to install and wait a couple of minutes and it's good to go again.
I meant to add that I'm on 9.0.9 and I have had no issues with it. Performance is great, Camera is good, battery life is good. I had this phone for 2 years updated regularly from nougat to pie. I dropped the phone in the ocean and had to replace it, used a pixel XL for several months (on Android 10 recently). I bought another used op5 because I needed dual Sims for work. I don't regret it.
There was a choppy scrolling issue that came and went for a little while on pie (my first OnePlus 5 and also this replacement) but it seems to be completely gone now. Either with a recent update or possibly some setting I changed in developer options. Even when it had that issues it loaded everything extremely fast and held everything in ram usually. Battery life has never been an issue for me on this phone. It's better than the pixel XL but a lot and way better than a Galaxy s8. Standby time is really good and screen on time can go over 6 hours. Sometimes I unplug the phone before bed before it's even fully charged (90 percent or so) and go to work the next day and come home with over 70% still at 5pm.
My OP5 went from stable to buggy after my first OTA update. Once I rebooted from the first update my phone started to freeze up and blackout until a forced reboot.
Once I hit 9.0.4 I lost use of my gyro, camera, and GPS. Until I used an Unbrick tool and went back to 8.1 Oreo.
The phone still freezes up, screen blacks out, and LED lights turn a baby blue color until I force a reboot.

That sounds like a hardware problem. Did you not attempt to return the device? If it was a software bug that happened to all of them it would have been talked about extensively here back when this phone was new and still popular.

I apologise for necro-posting
Turned out to be a faulty(corrupt) OTA flash. Rolled back to 8.0 OTA and it went back to normal.

Is it worth Jumping from Nougat to Pie

Im currently still on 7.1.1 Nougat with Oxygen version 4.5.xx
Its working stable and pretty good so far, have not encountered any issues (Other than occasional android system draining battery issue once every couple months which is solved by clearing cache.) Should i be upgrading to PIe?
The reason i did not upgrade was because i read a lot of posts about oreo not being stable and having battery issues and Pie having perfomance issues.
I want to know how good the lastest Pie version is, Is it stable enough and how does it compete against the old Nougat versions.
The main things i'm interested in is
- Battery Life ofcourse (I Commute a lot, thats why its of utmost importance to me)
- Perfomance (A Friend's OP6 has been observing some lags since updating to Pie, I Dont want that to happen)
Havent rooted, Not planning to do so. Had fun doing that with my Xiaomi devices, Just want to stay on the official Kernel, Roms for now.
i was in same ship as yours, i also didnt update my system from 4.5.14 to any newer version major reason being bugs as generally i have seen company give their 100% to roms when its newer ( in my case before 5T is launched ) after that it just case of mouse and cat. Sometime it works sometimes dosent and you had to wait for next update to get rid of certain issue but the new update brings some exceptional issues with them as well.
But had a conversation with someone from this forum and finally though of upgrading. First reaction was Awesome. I dont know what exacatly has changed in UI but it looks quite polished, more than OP6 that my friend has. Maybe due to the fact that i am on OP5 so no gesture control and hence no lag due to that. Its more refined and everything works fine for me. Battery life is also pretty good considering its an 2 years old device and i am a pretty heavy user myself with daily screen average usage of 6 hours ( excluding music which i listen screen off but it also take battery quite much with some high def music. So your choise now. But one thing to note is that i have heard going back is pretty hard and not as simple as downloading the rom and booting to the bootloader and flash it ( which i did quite time in nougat but that was between nougat versions as i never went to oreo ).

[ROM][9][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 16 [Extended, Built from source]

Code:
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
Installation:
If you are on stock OS, you need a custom recovery first.
If you are coming from stock or other ROMs, you need to make a factory reset.
If you are coming from the official rom you can dirty flash from the last official lineageos version which is in this case 20200419
If you are coming from LineageOS 15.1 with f2fs userdata, you need to format the userdata partition!
As always, make sure to backup before installing this ROM.
Download link:
Google Drive (Unofficial latest security patch: 5 april 2021)
Google Drive (Official made by mikeioanna, since its deleted from the official lineageos site, last security patch 2020 May)
This is an unofficial build based on updated LineageOS sources and the same device tree made by mikeioanna and the other contributors, the only difference is that it has the latest security updates which in this case is the 5 april 2021 security update, and I will continue updating this until either android stops security updates for this version, or something major happens that breaks the build.
Is it stable?
Yes, for me it has been, even when dirty flashing from the official rom to this build. Battery life is good and there is no overnight battery drain.
Last change: 27-4-2021
Please dont report bugs even though I havent found any yet as im just posting builds using the updated lineageos sources, and im not an android developer.
Thanks very much.
Thanks a lot for the time and effort you put into that!
Thank you!
This is an unofficial build based on updated LineageOS sources and the same device tree made by mikeioanna and the other contributors, the only difference is that it has the latest security updates which in this case is the January 2021 security update, and I will continue updating this until either android stops security updates for this version, or something major happens that breaks the build.
Is it stable?
YES this great ROM for Lenovo P2 is stable, there are no issues and works OK.
Downgraded from Lineage OS 17.1 (20210117) due to high battery usage.
Tested on Los 17.1 vs Los 16.0 (20210201 security update your edition) on a P2a42 with a 4 years old battery...
Config: Similar settings on both Los 17.1 and 16.0, NO gapps, No other apps installed and NO comms (OFF- wi-fi, bt, nfc and data -no sim) SOT 5-10 min only to check settings once; and didn't touch the phone for 24h in both tests.
On Los 17.1 (20210117) battery usage 14% in 24h and on your Los 16.0 only 8% in 24h.
HUGE difference in battery usage, almost half, (estimated stand by time is 14 days!)
@ simbanono
Can you have a look at my post on Lineage OS 17.1 for P2 forum and see what you think about my comments about FMRadio app permisions... on Los 16 vs Los 17.1. Could this permisions cause background CPU load and affect the battery drain?

Thanks for your great work for our phone!
I honestly cant tell, im not a developer, im only someone who prefers battery life over features, I wouldnt doubt you about the FM permissions, but I dont know for sure, all I know is that android 9 is still the best for battery life and am just dissapointed that most of the people go on the Android 10 bandwagon when battery life sucks for a phone based all around battery life.
TLDR: the only thing I do is use the latest Lineageos sources using the old device tree from mikeioanna which has worked out so far.
Also heads up: I will build every month (1st of the month) until it becomes too unstable for my liking.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I also prefer long battery life over other features and it was one of the main criteria in buying this phone 4 years ago!
Great news I will follow up your example and use your builds, the phone works very well withou any issues so far.
Let's hope that on the new development Lineage os 18 the battery life will be at least as good as Lineage os 16.0.
Maybe there will be a lean and clean build Lineage 18 for testing / debugging without any extra apps such as players/radio etc.

Looking forward to security updates
Well I hope its still maintained since I saw 16.0 is being discontinued.
Even CyanogenMod 14.1 (Android 7/Nougat; https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:%22n-asb-2021-02%22) still gets the security patches, LineageOS 16 has plenty of time left.

Has this project been abandoned?
I would welcome a new build every third month or quarter. Every month could be a bit ambitious...
Projects not abandoned and yes I was thinking about doing it every 3 months like you said, since I also dont need the latest security update every month.

That's good to know thanks.
Has anyone noticed that apps slow down after a long time use or is that just me? Need some feedback on that.

Hi,
I use your Feb 1 build for few weeks and I didn't notice any significant / noticeable diference in the phone speed / functionality so far. Battery life is at least as good if not a bit better than last official Los16.1 from April last year. I'm a light user.
Did not run any speed / SoT tests. (such as AnTuTu)
