I'm still using my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 kitkat 4.4.2 ,
i know it's an old phone, but it's working fine
We're already on Oreo version android OS,
since, theres no way i can upgrade to Oreo, and i don't want to purchase a new phone,
is there an open source custom rom, operating system that i can install on my note 2,
is there such a thing as a custom operating system that can be installed on new and old phones,
im tried of not recieving any new features or security updates,
why can't android be the same as desktops,
im running linux on a old desktop and it is still supported,
is there a team out there working on an open source operating system for everyone to use and it updated?

AICP gets weekly updates (automatically).
Some other ROMs (from that table) get manual updates as soon as the monthly security patch is available.
Im going to install LineageOS and see how that goes, it seems that one is the best one that has the most support?
At least i found my way easy around their website, going to give that a shot
Just saw this on SamMobile. Anyone else heard anything about 8.1
Nothing on my end.
That's for the Galaxy Note 9 (N960), which runs on 8.1 instead of 8.0 like the S9 (G960). Officially the S9 will likely not be updated to 8.1, but will get a 9.0 update whenever Samsung releases that.
My bad... Can't believe I typed that in wrong. Had the note 8 before the S9. Thanks for the response
Samsung doesn't really apply the full security patch all in one go. They usually apply the security updates in 8.1 to 8.0. So basically it will be the same as 8.1, whenever Samsung actually get around to releasing any sort of update
I've been anticipating the Android 9 update for my XA2 for a while. I see most people are getting it and for some reason I just don't have it. I'm still on 8.0 and the System Update section says I'm at the latest version. Am I missing something?

Although its very irritating situation for any Android user that he/she have device which have been got latest Android version by manufacturer but they doesn't get yet, but in XA2 case i feel its much batter that this device user stay on oreo after getting pie experience.. believe me its really useless update, don't have even new launcher 9 and user interface, and the most disappointing thing is worst camera performance that previous, camera was perform well when XA2 was on oreo, but now i am feeling my device like a piece of **** and nothing
Try download a android 9.0 based ROM via latest XperiFirm and flash via newflasher (this app is for all platforms like Linux, MacOSX, Windows) but fist find guide how to flash this ROM because you will first must delete some .ta files before flashing.
Lucky you, I miss the oreo camera so much. Better skip this OTA.
We got some new tablets and apparently Android 9.0 breaks functionality with a feature we need in our MDM. Anyway to flash back to 8.1?
I used to flash to and from different roms with my Galaxy S3 but that was a young mans game and I'm out of the loop now.
when I try to download a lot of apps on my windows phone, they need dx10.
How can I get dx10 on my phone?
