Could someone create and provide SECURITY PATCHES for OREO and for LG G6 ?
Please, if you don't know what you are talking about, don't answer this message !
(i.e. answers such as update to PIE (android 9 by LG) or even to android 10 as "LeCorbusier" says.
As every ADULT knows, after 2-3 years a top-notch phone such as LG G6 is not dead !
Mine, at least, in 2020 works very well with OREO, and my only problem is getting security patches for OREO (android 8) and STOP updates for PIE !
I don't need PIE OS (Android 9 by LG), and its so-called improvements !
All I need is "security patches for OREO (android 8) and apps patches for CAMERA and other things similar.
Therefore, I suggest DEVS to think about what they are truly doing : MANTAIN a system of consumerism that is void (such as brands), or help people not throw away phones that still work perfectly well !
Please, help me and help millions of people not over consuming Phones !
1. Oreo is outdated and no one is willing to spend so much time to develop security patches for Oreo. Because it's hard to integrate with LGE framework. You could try to use custom rom with newer security patch
2. Or try find developer and pay him. For a custom rom

Hello members,
Good day,
I'm using moto g4 plus,
Few days unofficial oreo rom urged to users with some flaws,
Its a quite long time, I have been waiting for official lineage oreo rom for moto g4 plus,
Can I know when the official rom or successfully working rom will come to device?
Will official oreo update come to stock roms?
Thank You,
Official Oreo has been confirmed by moto, just don't expect it soon. Even flagship devices like Samsung S8 will get Oreo around early 2018, so I'm thankful we're getting it at all. Considering our g4 plus is a cheap device, seeing 2 major software updates is great value. I'm hoping we get it by March 2018.
3rd party rom developers are releasing Oreo in alpha stage, so bugs will be expected. They are doing a great job since I assume they have to struggle with things like proprietary drivers, etc. Still, I have yet to come across a good rom for our device apart from stock even for nougat. But if you're feeling adventurous, please do try out the unofficial Oreo roms, your feedback would surely help the developers and the community.

At the moment, all Oreo rom's are having trouble with the camera, and will be fixed when official oreo launches..
since we know that we won't receive P officially.. are we going to have camera troubles or is there any chance that these bugs, in the future could be fixed without official drivers?
Thanks.. (just to clarify, i'm not asking for ETA, just asking if there is really a need for those official sources for a fix)
As far as I understand, it's possible that there may be bugs in an Android P custom ROM on a stock Oreo firmware device. I do not know how much the P multi-camera API will also affect things https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-spotlight-new-multi-camera-api-improvements/ though I suspect it may cause more headaches in trying to adapt the Oreo camera drivers for P.
In terms of fixing the camera driver, it seems like a big pain to fix. From this XDA article https://www.xda-developers.com/came...opers-make-hardware-work-without-source-code/ you have to contend with closed source, proprietary driver packages and have to make shims (lots of patches) to get the camera working, assuming you can determine what functions to use or divert. It seems that legal/intellectual property issues stop OEMs from releasing the source code. The bottom line is that you'll likely want dedicated developers troubleshooting the camera, and with Android P bringing a new API, it's anyone's guess if P custom ROMs will have a fully functioning camera.
Hi,
I got a Nokia X6 TA-1099 in September 2018, with Custom Oreo Rom (locked!) and rooted.
I unlocked it, loaded the Global Oreo one for Nokia 6.1 Plus few months ago and prompted to upgrade to Pie 3.45 right after. Once I did it, I noticed screen issues (much large screens, going out of the edges basically). One of the members of this forum told me that this happens when the SKUID is CN instead of WW. I checked and mine was CN. The phone is also recognised as TA-1103 now.
since I need a locked phone for banking, certified etc... I downgraded to Oreo Security Patch August 2018 and locked the phone "forever". I then disabled the automatic updates.
do you know if newer releases of Pie (like V3.54H which I am prompted about) will "fit" my screen properly even though I have SKUID CN? Or shall I just wait for Android Q that perhaps does not have this issue?
I am worried I will need to downgrade and I won't be able to do it anymore.
Thanks!
The SKUID will always trouble you. Because starting with Pie. parts of the OS rely on the SKU to enable/disable certain services. You're better off with either of the two:
1. Be on CN ROM and keep your CN SKUID.
2. Be on WW ROM but change your SKUID to WW.
3. Stay on Oreo (bonus lol)
The broken Status bar will continue to bug you when on Pie with CN SKUID. Also, some system features will remain missing/broken, including double-tap to wake.
Hi
Can I change the SKUID to WW now that I am on Oreo 8.1 August 2018 patch?
I am not finding any info to confirm this, but I appears that Nokia is now allowing unlock.
I would like to:
- change SKUID to WW
- relock
- upgrade to Pie and follow all the future automatic updates
Do you think this is possible?
Thanks for your help as always.
Nokia does not allow unlock. You will need to resort to the paid methods.
Sent from my Nokia 8.1
Please can you send me some links so I can proceed accordingly?

I am on Oreo 8.1 August 2018 patch. I was told unlock the phone is not possible anymore.
However, I just contacted singhnsk privately and Techmesto via email. we'll see what can be done.

Is it possiable that i still need CN SKUID(for my wifi and signal) but with Lineage OS experience?
i really enjoy the Lineage OS or Evolution X or Resurrection-Remix, but i cant find the CN version ROMs like this....
I've got an opportunity to get a new t380 for free. Can anyone tell me if the OS can still be updated from nougat to pie? Also, considering this is a 2017 build, is it even worth the effort?
Thanks for your thoughts,
dow
Hello, Yes, the device has Android Pie One UI, it is also possable to get twrp and get masigk running, though you will most likey want to stick to Android Nougat beacuse in Android Pie, Masigk is not installing. But this can change. Also there is no custom roms for the 2017 Tab A, but this can change. The tablet will most likey not get android 10, but aleast you will get longer support on Android Pie than on Android Nougat.
LG G6 is a great smartphone for taking pictures ... and a few other things like using it as a standard phone.
Mine is working fine on android 8.0 (Oreo) EU stock, with bootloader legally unlocked and the infamous lock screen.
From what I read here and there, it is nonsense to update it to Android Pie (9.0). No gain and many pains !
In other words, I intend to keep it under Oreo 8 and try to update it for security patches !
a) how to lock updates to Android PIE ?
b) how to keep updating security patches ?
Is this Mission "impossible" ?
For your info, I know there are alternative ROMS, but from what I read, none works as well as a STOCK ROM ...
I think Pie is no longer supported at all and there weren't too many security patches for Oreo so far.
So after 36 months everything stops ?
No solution ?
So Google and Brands invented the OS that really sets the game ? 2 years and bye bye ?
I'm not a Go-Go Buyer !
It would be fine with me if i'm wrong. And there would be a third big update in the form of Android 10 and if they still release security patches for 9.
Mine is from May, Android 9 of course,so there still is some support.
(and i mistook Oreo and Pie in my post from May, nothing beats plain numbers...)

Thanks "leCorbusier" for your optimistic message.
Android 10 LG STOCK for LG G6 ? You must be dreaming !
Besides this, just remember that I want to block Pie update (check OP) and still get security updates, but for Oreo !!!

G6 received PIE update after 1 year, when PIE was released. Pie update for G6 and May security pacth was last update. LG has bad software support. Forget about Android 10 for G6 from LG. Only way to get Android 10 is custom ROMs

I understand your concern, security updates are more important to me. This is why I use custom roms. But it's also my experience that there are definitely custom roms running android 10 that are way better than LG's stock roms, especially Oreo. I don't know where you read the contrary, unless you have a model that isn't well supported.
Honestly, though, the bonus features are just a bonus to me. Having up-to-date security updates are the most important to me. I buy LG phones after they are discounted, and also only after I see the community begin to support specific models, since I know LG is awful about support.
