EMUI 2.3 beta testing got pushed back a few days, it will appear soon to the closed beta testers and we will know if it comes with 4.4, if it does not, then we will probably not get 4.4 on our devices at all. Expected emui 2.3 launch is in march/april.

If we don't get 4.4 that would be pretty shocking seeing as the P6 came out after the Galaxy S4 and that will certainly get 4.4

Huawei only cares about their little emotion ui to be honest. Going from 4.2.2 to 4.4 requires alot of extra work, so its easier to release a new emotion ui version than compile one based on new android version.

The new released B199 and Mate 2 comes with stock Android 4.3. So they are in a sense working on android upgrades too.
Is it possible to port the firmware of B199 (minus the kernel) to p6 ?

It is very simple. I'm satisfied with my P6, but if it doesn't get 4.4, I will NEVER buy anything from Huawei again. Today we have an option to choose.

Im certain p6 would get android 4.4. This android 4.4 news was made public by Richard Yu himself and highly improbable he would make a total bluff about it. P6 is their flagship phone even till today so attention to software upgrade would be there. Plus, if they dont plan to upgrade android, there is no reason why they haven't yet released the Emui2.0 at least, despite them doing beta tests on the P6 way back from august last year.
But yea i understand the frustrations and the total secrecy policy of Huawei gets really frustrating.

but thats the most exciting part for all of us ;p will or will not be 4.4 for P6 that is the question ... ;p
im betting that we will get 4.4 in 3 weeks time ... from test leak or CN build ;p
as we can flsh and downgrade to any build it really doesnt matter

Whats the problem? Huawei said the update will come in January, it's not February yet. You can complain when it's February.

Coming from HTC One S it's pretty easy to say that Huawei is doing a great job with it's updates. It's pretty nice that i lost my One S while i was drunk and got P6 because it's so cheap and nice looking phone and the specs are awesome too. Kit Kat will come when it's due. Im totally happy with surdu_petru's CM 10.1.

it's here, well...actually out there, the testers have a version of the ROM. In Febuary it's safe to say that it will be officially released.

We need a base rom before we can cook. To get a base rom we need an official update. A rom dump won't work for cooking purposes. We do have shmoov_groovz on LG-eXpo.com working with LG Product Pro from lgcommunity.com to find us the base rom that is already loaded on the phone. They haven't been able to turn up anything yet though. Hopefully they will find something or we will have an update in March.
trust me once we can make roms we will lol. and once we do the flood gates will be open.
dark ...u said at the end of the post we will have an update in march? i haven't seen anything on this what type of update?

I didn't say we will have an update in March I said hopefully they will find something or we will have an update in March. Meaning I hope that they find something soon or I hope that we will have an update in March. I say March because that is when we got our first Incite update. I don't know for sure that an update is coming in March I'm just hoping that LG will release one in March based on the timetable they used with the Incite.
WHY..
Im sorry but the Expo is a waste of a Snapdragon this phone Just all out Blows..lol but to each is own
nucentury08 sounds like you are a little to HTC biased not to mention you should know that all stock phones suck(including htc's). Just curious have you ever used an expo?

Oh don't worry about that reply. Its a standard reply for any rom question asked. I think because there used to be loads of questions/complains/request related firmware upgrade being asked on their facebook page that they then decided to reply that way instead.
Regarding the kitkat upgrade, they did mention it would be upgraded this month. But the rumours say the update is not on schedule. So what we would get would be a emui2.0 upgrade this month while kitkat upgrade would come with emui2.3, which is undergoing beta tests already and maybe out by march/april.
Decided to root and install custom ROM while I wait instead lol

[Update] Android L (Lollipop) and the G2

Figured I'd start a thread about Lollipop since it was officially announced today. As others (namely @KD8JBF ) have pointed out, Sprint has updated their device RDF page to mention a ZVE firmware. Will this be the update to Lollipop? Any ideas?
How do you think the G2 will handle Lollipop, and what do you think about what we've seen of Lollipop so far? Hopefully ZVE will at least fix some of the bugs in LG's firmware.
no. its 4.4.2 http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS980-SPRINT/latest

I'm up for anything that uses more WiFi. I have a damn Airave because Sprint doesn't have signal where I live, which creates a whole other cluster of problems. Wonder how long it will take for us to get it?

Lol I'll try to add that.
I believe this is the update to use the home launcher from the G3. LG stated a few months ago that they were going to update the G2/Pro/Flex to the G3 launcher and they were attempting to have them all updated by Christmas.
is this rom running smoothly with lg 980 .
am a new user and am rooted and running cloudy g3 .

This thread isn't about a ROM, it's about a software update from Sprint. If you're confusing the two, I'll answer as if you meant update when you said "ROM". If you were to update to ZVE (or update at all) and you're on CloudyG3 right now, you would have to downgrade back to a stock version of the LG LS980 firmware. You can do this using LG's FlashTool and a tutorial I put up on here awhile back. I also put up tutorial videos with links and downloads on YouTube if you search for my name " Kristi Grant". When I get on my laptop I'll post links, or click on the link in my signature.

It's still 5.02. Sprint likely found a bug in the ZVF build so the new one is ZVG.

I'm just waiting for someone to get the update, root it, and do a Stock clean TWRP Backup (before signing in).
Hopefully someone will be nice enough to do this for those of us without access to a Windows computer with the FlashTool.

That is where 5.1.1 comes about. 5.1 fixed, 5.0 leaks. But then they had leaks in 5.1 which hopefully 5.1.1 fixes
I wonder if the update will bring wifi calling to the G2 finally.
T-Mobile's LG G2 should receive a Lollipop treat starting today

[Q] Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S

Will we ever realistically see Android 5.0 Lollipop on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S?
I hope so, this tab is more than capable of running it. Last years entry level xperias are getting lolipop and even the moto defy. I think aosp will come out about december then we'll see a touchwiz version Feb or something. Tbf there aren't many devs for the tab s
Early 2015 or at least in march is the latest.

My best guess. I read in an article somewhere about it.
I have read several times samsung will update flagship models to lollipop, so since the tab s series is their top of the line models atm they will get it like the other guy said early 2015. Now my question, if you have rooted and tripped knox will it be possible to get the update or will have to wait for a rom to flash?

Well we don't know if the cfauto root works on android l. But you can just flash a factory Image when ever android l is out. Or do it with kies.

:thumbup:
I think we should get together a bounty/donation for eousphoros for a succesful port of CM12 (lollipop) to the Tab S 8.4 inch. It would be nice because it will help with his baby costs too! (that's the reason he's been busy)
hes the only hope we got,
eousphoros, let me know if you want me to start a thread or you can start one of those donate/pledge pages that keeps track of total, much easier. I'll spread it around good.

Android 5.0

Does anyone know if it was released today? I saw two articles on google that it was released for D581. Any news on it?
The bits I can find are talking about a Cyanogen CM12 release for the D851. Not stock from LG yet. But perhaps my google-fu is off today.

Hey guys, so judging from this thread the D581 isn't on lollipop yet huh? A friend of mine just got this phone but is using it here in Canada on Wind Mobile. Will the 5.0 update be pushed from T Mobile, which in essence would exclude him from the update, or is it coming directly from LG?
