When Lenovo k4 note will get Android Nougat or Lineage OS?

I am waiting to experience android nougat on my k4 note. We know that cyanogenmod is no longer available so I request developers to make a Lineage OS ROM for lenovo k4 note. Please let me know if it will be available or not? if is will be available then when can we get it?

Offical updates via OTA will be delivered by lenovo as soon as the round of delivering is over for their premium series like zuk, moto g new series......
You can expect around 3-4 months for the new upgrade to hop in.
Thanks:good:

I saw that once you upgrade to 7.0 (for example v7.2.9) that bootloader will be automatically locked, and we will have to unlock it once again.
Can anyone confirm if this is true,

Bootloader cannot be locked unless its instructed by you. Flashing process doesn't have any interference with the Bootloader. Still, about my personal experience, I migrate from custom roms to MIUI 7.1.12 and back atleast twice a week. Its not the case. And given the reason neither its supposed to be. You can clear your doubts.

Yes this is my understanding too, and i myself flash constantly -
but according to xiaomi.eu page for build 7.2.9 : " RELESED Android 7.0 for MI4C, Mi4S, MIMAX, MIMAX PRO, MINote PRO
Your BOOTLOADER will be relocked after upgrade to Android 7.0 so unlock it by en.miui.com/unlock after ROM installation again!!!"

No worries, I flashed today without knowing above and my bootloader still unlocked.
After flashing gapps I get lots error messages. Otherwise no big difference in miui.
Worked ok with supersu 2.79 and twrp 3.0.2

No way! I've been looking forward to properly implemented multiwindow since I first saw Android N. That's such a shame

yep, xiaomi took android 7.0 and transformed it to MIUI 8 based on 6.0 i was hoping at least for display resolution support from 7.0 but no, you still have to edit build.prop and distort apps and icons in default theme. i don't need 6.5" screen because of 1cm fonts

It's been always Like that on MIUI, the changes come with MIUI upgrades not Android upgrades.

Hi, circa 15-30 August will be global beta MIUI 10 Oreo for MTK Note 4. Sadly, there will be no kernel sources. Now is closed china beta. Works perfectly, antutu 98000. Thx xiaomi!!

Years of experience with Xiaomi.
Take a look at the other Redmi Note 4 (Mido). It got MIUI 10 but still runs on Android 7.0 (Nougat), not even 7.1.
Nikel will never get Nougat or Oreo

It was question to OP, not to you. I am using Snapdragon version and I am angry that Redmi 4x and 4a got 7.1 and Mido only 7.0. And I cant believe too that Nikel will receive oreo update. So OP should prove this.

I think they will receive the Miui 10 yes, but in version 6.0 of the android.
I do not even care, I really like miui.

Lenovo Announces ZUI 4.0 For ZUK Lineup

Lenovo Announces ZUI 4.0 For ZUK Lineup, Adds U-touch 4.0, Full-screen Gestures, AI Voice Assistance
Lenovo has announced that it will finally start rolling out the ZUI 4.0 software update for the ZUK series smartphones starting this week.
ZUI 4.0 Update
Earlier this year, Lenovo had promised that it will start rolling out the latest ZUI 4.0 software update to its ZUK lineup. A couple of months later, the company has now officially announced the roll-out schedule for ZUI 4.0. The new software update will bring plenty of new features, improvements, bug fixes, and more.
Customers have been waiting a long time for the update to arrive. ZUI 4.0 is based on Android Oreo, so it is still not the latest software out there. Better late than never though, and ZUK users can finally get a taste of Oreo on their devices. Read on to know what’s new in ZUI 4.0 and what phones will get the update.
Lenovo ZUI 4.0 Software Update Features
The new ZUI 4.0 update is based on Android 8.0 Oreo, as mentioned before. The update brings some new features to the custom ROM of Lenovo. The company has been using this ROM on most of its phones, expect the Motorola branded ones. In China, some of the Motorola phones also run on ZUI ROM.
The ZUK series phones from Lenovo have been using ZUI from a while now, and they come with features such as U-Touch. This is a really helpful feature, and with the latest ZUI 4.0, it gets better. The update features U-Touch 4.0, which includes full-screen gestures, and more.
Lenovo has also added some AI functionality to the software, and even a voice assistance. There’s also a new Game mode in Settings, which should improve performance while gaming. The update brings improved battery life, and a smoother overall experience to the ZUK phones. The company will start rolling out ZUI 4.0 for beta testing by the end of this week. The roll-out will start in China first, and will then be available in other regions. Yes, this is still in beta, which means that the stable version could take even longer to be released.
Lenovo ZUI 4.0 Compatibility
During the announcement of the Lenovo S5 earlier this year, the company announced that several phones will be compatible with the new ZUI 4.0 software. In August, the company started rolling out the update to the Lenovo Z5 smartphone.
Firstly, the ZUK series phones, which include the ZUK Z2 Pro, the ZUK Z2(Plus), and the ZUK Edge, will all be receiving the beta update in the new week. The update will also be compatible with phones such as the Lenovo S5, Lenovo K5, K5 Play, the 2018 Moto Z Series (China variant), and the Moto Z2 Play (China variant).
Those who have been waiting for the ZUI 4.0 update, will now be able to sleep in relief, knowing that the update is just around the corner. If you are waiting for the Android 9.0 Pie based ZUI update, then you will have to wait much longer.

There is not much change. They have made some changes to lockscreen ui, game mode and battery optimisations. Wait some time we will get the blobs of all these on our custom ROMs.

My rom doesn't have the game mode as yet buh it should be coming soon ... Android pie isn't a stable rom yet so the dev of my rom that is jaguar 8.1 said that we have to wait for some time till a stable version of the rom is out for us to get the ported version for zuk 2 plus... in my opinion I think that the most stable and least buggy roms for zuk 2 plus are :
1) Jaguar 8.1 Rom
2) Aex Rom
3) Viper Os
*THATS JUST MY OPINION*

Try arow pie ,,,,the best from all

Viper OS Nougat still the smoothest rom...

Android 7 on redmi note 7

Hi everybody,
I just unlocked my Redmi note 7 today and installed twrp recovery. I wanted to know if someone can give me a link or something to get android 7 or 8 (as a rom ofc), because u know , we can't fly on PoGo on android 9.
Sorry for my english I'm French :/
Thx a lot everybody and have a good day
FauxReveur

There aren't any roms with Android Oreo or Nougat for RN7 since it already released with Pie and it wouldn't make sense for anyone to start working on one now.
