From OTA update
If you are using 550, go to Check Update.
If you have 551ML you also received the update
550ml updated and i see really 20% gain performance in games and the phone is also much more fluent.
screen rotation works also better.
update size is so small.. i guess there's no changes in terms of battery life and android OS, basicay they focused on apps improvement and not on the rom improvement..kinda disappointed tho..but gonna update it anyway after flashable ota zip released by shaka..
Does this mean we get 5.0.2? If yes it should improve battery a little...

I just somewhere read on zentalk about the update being in 90 MBs
So i guess, this was just a leveler update
The ones who were on 2.18 got a 90MB update to 2.19 and
The ones already on 2.19 got a 29 MB update (eliminating the so called "instabilities") and a version number bump. I too got a 29MB update.
Asus is preparing for 2.20 release (I guess). And it needs everyone to be on the same version.

No, libhoudini version was upgraded to version 5.0.2 (has nothing to do with the Android version). Libhoudini translates binaries made for ARM to x86 if I recall correctly

Houdini has been updated to 5.0.2.
FYI, Houdini is the x86 to ARM translator lib.

agree..hopefully that beta testing OS gonna be released as soon as possible..either on 5.1.1 or M, couldnt be grateful anymore.. the rom is good enough already and asus has done a good job in optimizing 5.0 rom on zf2, but they will never get rid on this android OS bug unless they push higher version of lollipop..

Android M will take a lot of time. Even Google hasnt released M for its Nexus lineup.
The Maximum we can expect is 5.1.1.

Official updates for Yoga 2 and changelog

Hi
I didn't update my Yoga 2 830L since I bought it few months ago.
But the notification comes up about updating from
YT2-830L_USR_S000153_1501051824_WW21_ROW
to
YT2_830L_USR_S000209_1504220538_WW21_ROW (98 MB)
I've read about some problems with Lollipop, so I don't want to update my tablet to that.
But with 98 MB update is probably not possible.
Is there any changelog what that specific update contains (fixes or breaks)?
It would be good to improve battery.

03.01.2018 - new update K350n

Hey, just wanted to inform you all I just downloaded and installed the newest update for K350n.
Update's label is V10i and notable changes are:
- KRACK wifi exploit patched;
- Bluetooth blueborne exploit patched;
- Google Duo included as a system app.
That's what I've noted so far for these few hours, at least. Security patches date is 06.11.2017 which is obvious because of the included KRACK patch.
