Questions before buying - OPPO Reno Z Questions & Answers

Hi. I really think to buy this phone after using my LG G7 per two years. I have some questions:
1. Its now works on Android 10 and if will be second update to 11?
2. I knew that color os aod has no info about new messenges or calls so any update making aod more customizable?
Thanks in advance!

Hi bud.
I just got the Reno Z.
According to news outlets Android 11 is arriving in Q2 2021.
About ColorOS, I like it a lot more than MIUI. I haven't even needed to put Nova launcher on the phone as the ColorOS does everything I need. I read the Oppo are working with Google to make ColorOS 8 even more like stock Android, which is welcome news.

Oreo 8.1 for HTC U Ultra: Never?

I've seen that the new roms release are based on oreo 8.0 not 8.1
I'm thinking if the jump to 8.1 is extremely difficult or HTC just wants to kill his brand with this bad support. I expect that not even HTC 11 had a release for 8.1
Whats happening here?
8.1 vs 8.0 is a big difference - lot of work is needed to have it working. At my work fully working 8.0 system after update to 8.1 was useless, lot of effort was needed to get it running.
So probably they will not do it for Ultra, too much money involved for already dead phone. There should be security updates at least as it's not as hard to implement it.
if they do another update it's probably android p... they still didn't release a stable oreo update for europe.
Android P will never arrive for sure. I've assumed it. So essentially, the only solution to get 8.1 is praying for lineage 15.1 what a pity for HTC.

LOL
Android P should come for U Ultra. And about 8.1... not every phone will receive it. Only those which comes really close to Stock Android like Essential Phone, Nokia, One Plus, etc.
Phones like Galaxy S8, G6, and U Ultra, U11, won't receive Android 8.1.

New user, need "help"!

Welcome to the OnePlus Family :highfive:
Have a look around and the best practice is to read. If you are a pro user you can unlock and root your device. There are 2 software branches right now, Stable & Beta , both are daily driver material. You can install any of these, just follow post 3 for flashing instructions :good:
See you around :highfive:

Thanks a lot! In fact, thats the point i'm giving the Mate 10 Pro to my mother and switching to 1+6T. I'm not a "really" pro user, but i love playing and trying more things on a phone. Switching roms, root things and other stuff like that. I'm sick of the lack of updates on Huawei too... And emui sometimes drive me crazy. Clean android ftw! I only hope the battery will be good enough because i use a lot Facebook and Instagram, apps that were killing Huawei's battery... ? I would like to know if stable Pie is release for this model. Thanks in advice!

This device is Pie out of the box and there has been a few updates as well. Both stable and beta are made on 9.0 platforms. As mentioned above there are seperate threads running on stable and beta releases and you can follow any one. For better battery life I would recommend to stick to stable for a while and have a look around.

Android 9.0 pie for lg k20 plus?

Any luck with a build?
Guess that's a no
bump
Woot woot
Our guy @Travisholt92 has made a few posts regarding his intent to get Pie for the K20 Plus, with a possibility of skipping porting Pie altogether to get a working ROM on Android 10. But as far as I know he needs to wait for some official releases on similar devices in order to build something that'll work on the K20. Plus some set backs have caused delays needing some equipment to build and test the ROM, esp with 10 requiring Treble compatibility. So, couple that with waning activity on here and people switching to other phones, we may never see P or Q on this K.

Once I order a back camera and H flex ribbon for the rear speaker. I can start working on this device again. Lately I've been working on the Stylo 3 plus which is in the same product family
Project update?
Is there any updates on the project? I hope we see most features working..
Last rom upgrade had a lot of missing features

I wouldn't hold my breath for a Pie ROM for the K20. I'm pretty sure Travisholt92, the last remaining developer on these 'rums, has either moved on to another device or is working on porting Android 10, or both.

Android 9 or 10 ? Pros & cons !

Hi all,
I usually move to new version as soon as i can, waiting like a child to play with new features.
For once, i do not see really the point of moving from 9 to 10. Some roms for our lovely device seems pretty good and stable, as always made by our beloved devs with love and passion... but i still don't see the pros to upgrade.
Can you make me change my mind ? :laugh:
Android 10 is the best thing happened to android eco system. Smooth and stable than any other android version available. It is gonna be a game changer when we have it for RN7 with MIUI. For now, I recommend everyone to try PE 10 Beta.
The roms with android 10 have not the customizations I need (ex. smartbar) therefore, for now, I stay without any problem on my pie superioros. Actually android 10 doesn't seem a big revolution, so I can wait.
Pixel Experience android 10 is smooth and nice.
Sadly I think google is falling behind in innovation. There really is no new features that make it any better than android 9.
I installed MIUI 11 (xiaomi.eu) and was surprised at how much better it is than googles stock android.
Can't wait for a new type of OS for our phones that is not using google, i think everyone is bored of google products and living in the past.
Very differents point of view regarding Android, stock and google : very interisting to read this.
Thanks for your replies guys ! Hope we'll have more.

Oxygen OS 11 Dialer apk/use on another phone?

I recently made the switch from the 8 Pro to the Z Fold 2. While I love Samsung's hardware, I find their UI to be appalling in many regards and try to make it more stock Android using themes and what not than anything else.
I also installed OP's Android 11 beta while on the 8 Pro and loved it. I know it's a point of contention for many people, but it's a fresh new look and I dig it. One thing that I particularly loved was the dialer app. I loved everything about it and was wondering if it's possible now, or will be possible in the future to install it as an apk as we are able to install Google's dialer as an apk right now?
Thank you all!
Hate to be the one digging up dead threads, but did you ever figure this out? I have a similar issue and really want to find out the solution. I found this thread that might be helpful, but I haven't tested it yet.
