Hi Guys In This Thread We Will Talk About The Official Oreo Update For Note 5
Any one knows any new news
Kindly post it :good:
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung-galaxy-android-8-o-update
The weird thing For Now That They Put the Galaxy s6 in (These Galaxys may or may not get Android 8.0) category
And You can see in gsm arena they that galaxy s6 is planned To be Upgraded .
But They put The note 5 in (These Galaxys will not get Android 8.0) category
And If you asked me why I’m talking too much about galaxy s6 and the connection between it and the note 5 i find the answer pretty obvious ,
actually if you compare the hardware between them you will find that they have the same Chipset and the same CPU and the same GPU !!!!!
So You Can Say It’s Not A Hardware issue .
If oreo will not come to note5 and came for s6e then the devs will port it for note5

From Sammy firmware, like S8, S9 and Note 8, the problem are the kernel and libs, bur more for this last; And from AOSP, someone make a build and share in this forum.

I hope , but it will be a stupid move from Samsung
Accordoing to me , Samsung won't give Oreo to Galaxy S6. Because it have taken two major upgrades.
We can only wait for Galaxy A8 (2016). But on the other hand, it's not a flagship device. So, maybe Samsung will give Oreo to Galaxy A8 (2016).
There is no hope for me.
It's a joke not to update at least the s6 and note 5.
Especually since people went two years nearly with the note 4 and 5 being the only notes. And Samsung didn't give either of them justified updates making up for that fact.
Its not Samsung though. Sadly all companies are like this. Google is pretty much no better. And the only ones that give any more have weak uis in comparison.
And anyone claiming about i phones getting updates is clearly too niave to speak on the matter
Note 5/S6 Edge will receive at least 7.1.1. For Example Note 4 start with 4.4.4 and received 5.0.1>5.1.1>6.0.1=3 updates. Note 5 start 5.1.1 and receive 6.0>7.0=2. Next between android 7.0 and 8.0 are not much changes. So why no called 7.5? Maybe merketing and full of numers are reserved only for the newest devices.
This is why I'll never get a Samsung phone ever again. They are only supported for 2 Android versions, the software sucks, lack of support for Exynos cpu.
I've been impressed with the Xiaomi's I've used. The screens are not as good as Samsung. But even Samsung's screens are not good compared to LG.

Officially the "S5 prime" isn't a S5 model at all. according to Samsung at least. We all know it is a derivative model though. No dedicated subform here. As the phone has now been designated an Asian market only phone, pretty much everything is in Chinese or Korean. There is a thread dedicted to the prime here (just do simple search for it) that tabulates what is available for the model. The last I looked it was just rooting methods plus a few semi-custom Chinese ROMs.
As a niche model limited to China and Korea; and with it's own firmware path and incompatible drivers we probably won't see a wealth of custom ROMs for it. More likely you will see a 900H type path with very little development simply because most developers won't own the variant.
.
oic... this variant specs is pretty awesome though.. the galaxy s5 should have had these specs in the first place!

Agreed. But Samsung took the safe, conservative way out and didn't break much real new ground with the S5. They just refined the S4 and added more apps. More to the point, amongst all the rumours of a S5 Prime model, Samsung blatantly lied and told us categorically that there would be no forthcoming S5 prime model, to boost initial S5 sales. They didn't want people holding off in wait for the Prime version.
That created a lot of anger and outrage when the deception was revealed. And a lot of us suspect that the S5 Prime was originally planned for wide release, but to save face was subsequently designated as an Asian market only handset. At the very least, it was criminal that Samsung released the original S5 with a 16 GB ROM in NA and less RAM than the existing N3. Criminal because the S5 was supposedly the flagship device, but the marketing people new thought that they could get away with the inferior specs.
.
And as another nail in the coffin of the so called S5 Prime gaining wider distribution.. Samsung just announced (earlier today) a Note 3.5 model. If you look at the specs, it's really the S5 Prime with a 5.6" screen positioned as an intermediate Note model.
Obviously a face saving move allowing them to continue the charade that the S5 Prime was never intended for worldwide sales. The new model is being called the Note Edge and makes it even less likely that you will see many custom ROMs for the "S5 Prime".

The note 4 has the same specs as the G906 (S5 "Prime", which is a Korea only model)... So maybe other than the S Pen it'll have similar hardware.... But who knows till we see a ROM!
Besides that Miscom has made a custom ROM for it (G906), just with root and a bit of de-bloating. It is super fast on it, so I'm not sure what you want from a custom rom.

Please explain how the S5 "Prime" is gaining wider distribution.
The Note edge is more than just a 5.6 inch S5 Prime. Have you seen it's defining software features? With what you're saying, this applies to the G3, M8, Find 7, Z2 and Z3 and pretty much most of the flagship devices coming out this year. The Note Edge and Note 4 are completely different devices to the Note 3 and S5 Prime, unless of course you are just looking at what brand chipset it has and how it has the iconic Galaxy design.

I wouldn't call it a Prime model, I would call it a region specific model. Aren't those two exclusive to South Korea and parts of Europe?
do you guys any chinese/korean forums where there are custom roms for the samsung galaxt s5 prime? I can get a prime for almost the same price as the galaxy s5 .. but I am hesitating because of the lack of roms

U can go to the S5 Android development forums you'll get both root and ROM from Miscom for your Samsung galaxy S5 prime SM-G906K/S/L
Hello everyone, this is just my first thread to open a discussion about the future of Note 7 ported roms.
I was considering using a Note 7 port as my daily driver on my Note 5, but I'm still hesitating about it just because of the fact that there won't be any possible future software updates from Samsung, any update to Nougat is discarded.
What are you thoughts about the future of the roms based on the note 7? Would you use a Note 7 port and wait for a official Nougat update for the note 5, or do you prefer using a Note 5 based rom as your daily driver?
Do you think that the note 5 will get close to the features of the Note 7 with future software updates?
im very curious myself. i am not really worried about future updates to the rom getting on 7.0 though as i go through phones a lot and as soon as the s8 edge hits i will be trying to grab it. i sold my s7 edge last week before the major shutdown hoping to get cash together for a note 7. fml sure enough over the next couple days my hopes and dreams crashed and burned. so i picked up a note 5 because that is what i had before my s7e and i was missing the s pen. so now i am torn on rooting and trying to see the options for note 7 features. i am also wondering what the near future from samsung will bring as far as shooting some of the features to the note 5.

I read that Samsung will add "enhanced" S pen features in the upcoming Nougat update for the note 5. Hopefully it will also include something at least close to grace UX

The S7 and S7 Edge could possibly get it by the end of Q4 2016, so I guess that we can at least expect to start hearing about betas for the Note 5 by Q1 2017
this really sux. i know the s7 and edge are newer devices but to me the note 5 should be the replacement not the s7 edge. all the extra note 7 features should be pushed to the note 5 asap

Hi,
Samsung Galaxy S5 is officially dead now? I mean software side. Where is the S5's Official Nougat update?
Samsung Galaxy S5 released 2014 April and it took last big update in 2016 March. 1 year 11 month official OS update support time.
Competitor's introduced phone at the same time still receiving OS updates.
Samsung Galaxy S5 users dont you feel worthless?
If samsung did this to me I would never buy Samsung again. Because I know the value of my money. Samsung just force you to replace your phone due to lack of updates. It's a cheap trick for a make profit.
Samsung Galaxy S6 will probably also stay on Android 7.0
Samsung Galaxy S7 will probably also stay on Android 8.0
Samsung Galaxy S8 will probably also stay on Android 9.0
Samsung Galaxy S series users what do you think about that?
Its not a good strategy for a create loyal buyers. That strategy creates own haters.

rooted, twrp'd and ROM'd, dont feel worthless at all as i havent got OTA's since the 4th day of owning this device, and that was 3 years ago
that and the problem with the S5 is that that there are over a dozen version of it and they all have their own specific quirks that Samsung would have to allow for
Why the hate? And why ask that question on xda? xda users don't tend to rely on 'official' updates anyway. I rooted my S5, used CWM and flashed CM12 (or whatever it was then) the second day I owned my S5. I now have Lineage 14.1, SIM unlocked 32gb µSD card, it is working like a pro! I don't plan to get a newer phone anytime soon.
Thread closed as it is of no relevance as of now.

I am making this thread because i see that quite a bit of people are wondering if 3 year old flagship from Samsung is going to receive Oreo.
Yes it is. No release date yet. It was confirmed to me by Samsung here are some screenshots
Wow I hope thats true. I think we annoyed Samsung so much with that question that they considered just to make that update
FINALLY!

Galaxy S6 Android Oreo Update
Galaxy S6 Android Oreo Update
Samsung still isn’t saying much about its future plans for Android Oreo so we can’t tell you anything with one hundred percent certainty. That said, we can tell you a little bit about Samsung’s history.
The company typically keeps its Galaxy devices upgraded with major Android software updates for two years before killing off support. The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge started on Android Lollipop and they’ve been upgraded to Android Marshmallow and Android Nougat.
The Galaxy S6 celebrated its third birthday in April which means there’s a very good chance it’ll stay put on Android Nougat. After all, Samsung Turkey and Samsung Canada have both left the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge off lists outlining upcoming Android Oreo updates.
The Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge also have disappeared from Samsung’s list of quarterly and monthly security updates. This all but confirms bad news for those of you holding out hope for Oreo. The Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy S6 Active both remain on the list.
There’s also a chance Samsung decides to push a third major update to the Galaxy S6 series.
The company still hasn’t released an official list of devices getting upgraded Android 8.0 Oreo, but we’ve seen unofficial lists appear on Weibo and XDA-Developers.
The list from Weibo includes the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Active while the list from XDA-Developers, which is based on data pulled from the Galaxy Note 8 Oreo update, doesn’t.
T-Mobile’s also seemingly confirmed Android Oreo updates for the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy Note 5, but nothing is official until Samsung itself confirms the development.
According to multiple Samsung customer service reps, the Galaxy S6 will be getting Android Oreo. The information comes from threads on Reddit and XDA-Forums where posters state they were told that the company is currently working on a Galaxy S6 Android Oreo update behind the scenes.
One customer rep went as far as to say the Galaxy S6 Android 8.0 Oreo update is set to arrive sometime in January or February. That obviously didn’t happen.
Customer service representatives have been known to push bogus information to those asking questions over the phone and online so take this information with an immense grain of salt.
If Samsung does update the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 Active with Android Oreo it will inch the company’s software support closer to Apple’s support for the iPhone. Apple typically keeps iPhones updated for four (five now that the iPhone 5s is getting iOS 12) years before kicking them to the curb.
At this point though, Galaxy S6 users shouldn’t be holding their breath.
Galaxy S6 Oreo Release Date
If Samsung decides to release Android 8.0 Oreo for the Galaxy S6, and that’s a huge if, it probably won’t release the software in June.
With the Android Oreo update just now hitting the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge, we’re likely months away from a roll out. If there is one.
Samsung Canada’s confirmed Android Oreo support for the Galaxy Xcover4, Galaxy A8, Galaxy J3 Prime, Tab A8 and Tab A10.1. The regional arm says those updates will arrive later in 2018.
It makes no mention of the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge.
Having launched more than two years before than Android Oreo’s release, the Galaxy S6 is not eligible for the Android 8.0 update.
soo wait and see fellaazzz!!!
The S6 never get Oreo officially
In that way, the port of A8 2016 with Oreo is under development.

Do you need testers (G920F)?

G928f too.
G928T too
G920v too. Still no unlocked bootloader but I have workaround for rom
And also g920i
Can you just stop posting like every S6 series variants... When developers will need testers they will ask for.
So will be an official android oreo for s6 or not ?
Anyone have another news ?
Thanks for your answer

Hello everyone, i just wanted to ask is S7 edge getting 9.0 update? If not will it be possible to port 9.0 from Note FE cause its almost the same as S7 edge? Tanks ?
Unfortunately, S7 and S7 Edge are not getting Android Pie ? .. and bout porting 9.0, I really cant tell. It's not my domain of expertise, but I hope someone start doing it already cuz porting is all what xda developers bout.

Wow, well that's odd
I really doubt that there will be a official 9.0 "Pie" release for the/my/our beloved S7 Edge. If for no other reason than this insane policy of 2 major android updates per device. Plus, Samsung- with their lackluster sales/support for flagship devices- wants to sell new phones to boost profits- which, for flagship devices- has suffered big time. They are not too concerned about retaining existing customers.
One can only hope/pray that some developers will be able to port Pie for us. One thing is for sure, based on the rumors of what the S10 will offer- and COST-, I just might keep my S7E a lot longer, even if I only get to keep rooted Oreo.
Wait and see...
It's common for the mobile manufacturers to test the new firmware on some of the older devices. This does not guarantee that it will see the light of day.
what u mean rooted oreo i got oreo on my s7e will my phonevbe ok n just stay on oreo or will i have issues?
