IT'S ALMOST HERE!
Published on XDA-Developers at July 3, 2018 2:36pm: https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-g5-android-oreo-kernel-sources-korea/
Thanks to XDA Member cheeze.keyk, we can see that LG has posted Oreo kernel sources for the F700K, F700L, and F700S, which are Korean model names for the G5. This means the Oreo update should be rolling out soon to those devices and hopefully more variants soon after.

Soon spotless (hopefully) Oreo ROMs will be coming thick and fast... Brilliant! (quote @B3NJY)

Hopefully the update will roll out soon.

IMHO, not so soon. Prolly another 2-3 weeks maybe. Those sources have been out for a while. I've been staring at them looking for changes and running software update on bridge for almost a month now. I have korean registered F700L, that in SK this runs on LG's own LTE+ service and therefore should be the first devices on the waiting list. But.. Still nothing.
But then, maybe it's coming tomorrow.. who knows right?

I'm glad I picked up the G5 now

The firm commenced the first wave of the rollout in Korea on July 4, with the release of the kernel files, which let savvy owners manually install the update on their handset.
Later this month, LG will start distributing it over-the-air (the standard method), which will make it a viable upgrade for all customers. Soon thereafter, it will reach Europe and North America.

Oreo kernel sources are available from many weeks ago.... This means nothing. Update could arrive tomorrow (for korea varian only) or well never.

As at July 8th 2018 12.43am GMT+8. Ehh.. u-uhh. Nothing on bridge. Nothing on OTA.

Any news guys? I'm tired of waiting...

Google Releases Android 9.0 Pie and we are still 3 releases behind on Android 7.0 Nougat. Congrats LG!

Just got notification to update on my F700L (finally!) an hour ago. Update done, now time for a factory reset to get the best out of it.
1.6Gigs but updates really fast. Oh, and note the fw notification actually says AUG. LG's been sneaky getting this out.
Aesthetics wise, the phone is a lot more colorful and does "feel" slightly smoother in interactions and response. In any case, testing to commence officially tomorrow. Hopefully they didn't introduce new bugs.

TouchWiz based ROM Development

I started developing my own touchwiz based rom for galaxy S6 (SM-G920F).
My initial ideas are to remove bloatware, add some cool programs, tweak the interface, modify the kernel, make a cool bootup animation and sound and many more.
There will maybe be an AOSP based Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) ROM in the future but simply it's more cool to work with a TouchWiz based ROM.
Please request any additional ideas and i'll try to put em' in if possible.
Initial release is expected to be on January 20th or 21st and official release is expected to be on February 2nd or 3rd.
This ROM will also be available for Galaxy S5 and maybe S4 and all the mini versions. They're releases are not yet expected, but maybe on summer this year something will come out.
This ROM will be available in 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 versions of Android and maybe later support will be added for 6.0 when released.
Extreme debloat aroma wise is always great.
available for t-mobile variant
Add xposed and root.
Plz add the support for att.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using XDA Free mobile app
Development starts tomorrow!
So, I've been a little busy with school and stuff so i haven't had time to make a ROM.
But, since the weekend starts tomorrow i'll get to work.
So, the 5.1.1 version will not be released so soon, but the 5.0.2 version will be released on 20th or 21st of January 2016.
But, as soon as the happiness starts, there come the problems... I have a terrible Wi-Fi connection, so upload will take 2 or 3 days or maybe even more. Wait I have an idea, why don't I go to my friend's place and upload there, seems like a good idea.
This will be the BTU (British) firmware so, ask If you want me to make it for different countries and also it will soon arrive for other models like SM-G920A or something, but first for SM-G920F.
That's it for now, see ya in other posts, bye.
I'm sorry...
There will not be released any version soon because I'm too busy with school.
But, there is a chance I could possibly release the first version (1.1) on Tuesday.
That's it for now.
This sounds like BS to me...
yearp
Next week I will be ap able to do some work on my ROM. Maybe I will not be releasing it soon but it should look nice and cool.
Can any MOD please close this useless thread please.

Got an official security update after 1.5 years.

This morning, I turned it on and found that there was a security update. I thought Samsung had completely abandoned it and was going to disable automatic update check.
Perhaps I hoped too much. I was hoping that the version would go up from 5.0.2 to 5.1, but the version remained the same. The only changes I have found are
1. Security Patch Level is now 2016-11-01
2. System Panel does not show process names any more.
Well, at least they have not completely abandoned it yet.... or have they?
No update here, but if true, that's quite a positive surprise!

3.5 years after release? Seriously?
World peace is more likely than that.

I thought it came out Q1 2014? It's barely 3 years old! Samsung is known for amazing software updates right? :laugh: :laugh:
/end sarcasm.
LMAO. World peace IS probably more likely than us receiving an official marshmallow update. :laugh: :laugh:
LOL
I love my pro but I am very skeptical about an update of any sort at this date
I just got this myself

Just got this update too. 243.38 MB. The update includes 'security enhancements' and 'device stability improvements'
March 19th OTA update
I just got an OTA update on March 19th, 2017. Bestill my heart...
Software updated P905VVRSBPL1
Android 5.1.1
^Me too. 63,55 MB! Seems to be a security patch.
My two tablets just received about 60MB updates. Installing now

Hello how you get this update on my lte p905,i'm still on 5.02
The security update doesn't change the Android version. Try Smart Switch or the sammobile website!

How long till Android Oreo/8.0 Custom ROM

How long till Android Oreo/8.0 Custom ROM
I think it took them till 31st December for Nougat so could be a while yet officially.

Okay thanks
I'm sure someone's already tinkering with the new released oreo source. But I guess someone will post a booting rom in the next couple of weeks? Ah how long is a piece of string?
Didn't take long for Nougat. I remember testing Cyanogen/LOS based roms by November 1st and I waited for a few of the bigger bugs to be solved. There are some awesome devs around here. Be patient. They'll have some in testing before you know it.
CypherOS aka AOSCP are bringing up Oreo but don't expect anything anytime soon. https://gerrit.cypheros.co/#/q/status:open
I think it will be faster than Nougat. Nougat was a bigger update, Oreo should be simpler.

Depends on how much is broken back when nougat first came out a lot of work had to be done to port the code across from mm as the source code was not available for nougat from oneplus.
I would not expect anything to be fully working until oneplus release the Oreo source for their kernel.
I would expect a nov/dec timeframe for very early release of Oreo with lot of bugs and half of it not working properly!

If I remember correctly, you were one of the devs who brought us some of the early Nougat builds. I'm pretty sure it was one of the ones I tested. Will you be working on Oreo too? I'd be happy to test on weekends when I'm home if you are.
Thanks again for all your work!

Oreo update!

https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-android-oreo-uk-unlocked/
Oreo is being pushed out in the UK, to unlocked phones (BTU, im pretty sure) the past day, is it possible for us to flash one of their firmwares on our phones? Or we have to wait for the update to roll out here?

The model that is being updated is the sm-g935f. It runs on a Exynos processor, but your sm-g935v runs on a snapdragon processor. Unfortunately, we have to wait.

My G935V got the update notification yesterday. You may want to try a force update to see if it will send you the oreo update.
NM it was just that 7.0 patch sorry if i got people excited, the google results were saying oreo.

EDIT-- Nevermind, i found it
Still nothing here.
Nothing here as well. Current version R16NW.N950USQS4CRE1 (May 1, 2018)
Lol its funny. There rolling the july patch update out in other places. We in the us are still on may. I wounder if there going to skip june and just push july. To us.
That's what i'm thinking. It's already play store certified and passes safetynet. So, if we do get June patch, it won't be long before we get July, in my opinion.
If not here by end of next week, will have to wait for August patch.
Lol still on may. I couldn't care less for security updates but June brings the video lock screen which I want
I'm going to have to start installing the leaked builds if they don't give us the update soon.......I'm tired of waiting lol
Just got 5CRF6 July patch on U1 on Sprint
Not yet for me, maybe Friday.
It's August and still stuck on may lol
