Any news on if the zenfone will get android M soon?
Im not sure if i should get a zenfone 2 or a nexus 5
Wait a bit, nexus devices get newest android first of all, after that the flagships A category... we can only wait for now
I'm sure we'll get it, but I doubt it will be any time soon.
Can you install the dev preview on it? Or only the nexus devices can

Asus TF202 tablet was the first to get it a few times so Asus is usually pretty fast on updates compared to the big guys

But ASUS were very slow with Lollipop for the Zenfone 5 and haven't yet managed to give us 5.1.1 even though 5.0 is flawed, so I am not that hopeful.

you remember that zf5 came with jellybean..they had kitkat now having lollipop 5.0
and zf5 isnt flagship or flagship killer for them...
but zf2 is flasgship for asus and flagship killer in general
so however you look at it..zf2 will get atleast 2 upgrades... atleast 5.1.1 and M
Flagship killer!?
I'm glad I have one.
Cheers.

Flagship Killer? I guess we will wait and see.
I am sure I remember hearing of an interview with an ASUS person where they said that their policy was that their devices would get one major update and be supported for one year. The Zenfone 5 has exceeded that I guess. That said, seems like support for my Memo Pad 7 has ceased after about 6 months, and with only a botched Lollipop 5.0.1 pgrade for WW and JP still stuck with the original Kitkat 4.4.2 (they never bothered with 4.4.4 at all). So who knows what to expect with our Zenfone 2. Hopefully as their flagship device they'll treat it well. I don't really care about getting M, but very much hope they can deliver us a stable, bug-free build of 5.1.1 soon.
Well the best is yet to come. CM 12.1 !

Yeah, my tablet the Asus tf300 was one of the first to get jelly bean when that came out.

now m is just a developer preview.i think the official firmware for zenfone 2 running m will be released in november more or less (I HOPE).Consider the first to mount stable android m will be the new nexus.then asus have to optimize m for zenny 2,mount zenui and all the optimization work.
Based on my experience with the nexus 4 getting quick updates is a mixed blessing. The latest and greatest new features and new bugs
I'm looking forward to "M" on the ZenFone. I'm running it on my Nexus 6 and Nexus 7(2013). Smoother and best of all developer options now has a "OEM unlocking", option as well as a "dark mode". And it comes compatible with "Layers" stock.

Sorry if this an obvious question, but I'd really like to know if I'd have to root/unlock it to flash some more recent Android version.
Speaking of which, how difficult is it to flash/unroot?
At least put an effort into researching.

No there are no roms for this tablet at this time.

Lmao post with no answer.. put some effort its just 2-3 keys "no" then "yes" WOOT!
No man not yet. They do have plans to.
It's true that the answer is a simple no. But I had to learn the hard way when I first jumped into this site a few years ago that people do not like to be asked questions that are easy to answer. You don't even have to look on this website. Simply look at the spec sheet on LG's website and you will see that it comes with 4.2 .2. There is already a rootkit out for the device but no roms at this time. I honestly don't think you need a newer version at this time. 4.2 .2 jelly bean does everything you need in my opinion. Otherwise get a Nexus device. I have a Nexus 4 running Kit Kat Paranoid Android and Franco kernel and I couldn't be happier. But when it comes to my tablet I just wanted for basic consumption and a stock Android is perfectly fine. Just my opinion.

What is it that you are going to gain from updating to 4.3? The bigger number? There is a lot more that can be improved in the ROM than going to 4.3

would like Android 4.3 or later to enable opengl es 3.0 support for games. Hopefully lg comes out with an update soon.
i would like to see cyanogen mod 11 or pac rom much more than official updates of LG

Sorry but when is the update coming? not a single update since november? i can understand the diffuculty of pushing it through carriers but even for the WIFI p600, no update has arrived. I wonder if it will even arrive before the summer.
No one knows. We will have to wait till Samsung rolls out a testfirmware or a leak.

Just don't ask for ETA.T_T. Samsuck.
frustrated
Its so frustrating because all the new tablets have 4.4.2 and they have identical specs asides from screen size and a multitasking button. I have been a long time apple user and "converted" to android about 9 months ago. I had an iphone then got the htc one then got the Note 3. I traded my ipad for the note 2014. I love android but I feel like the notion I am getting from android manufacturers is if you want the latest upgrade youre going to have to buy the newest device. Sorry for the rant.
With Samsung you'll need some patience.
Actually they are rolling this update out to a fair amount of their products, we are in line.....

Probably at the end of the line.
Not too big a deal imo, but the performance increase in KitKat would be sweet to have.
Like Khairy said the Galaxy Tab Pro. 10.1 is identical except for the 1 gig of ram and the S-pen. It can't be that difficult to get our Kitkat update out.

Samsung is slow with updates. I just got 4.4.2 on my S4 if you want OS updates faster you have to get a Nexus device.
It's just the way it is I can't wait for KitKat on my Note 10.1 I like it on the S4.
I only got jelly bean on my Note 2 the other day...so don't hold your breath
At the very least fix the lag on a lot of the animations, I feel like samsung is trying to get me to buy a pro series tablet. I guess 600 isn't pro enough.

I just hope it doesn't mess with my SD card access, otherwise I shall wait.
My note is just as I like it at the moment.
Seriously why do people keep asking when it's coming? That's not gonna change anything and we know just as much as you. Google it or something. Be patient people! You'll get it when you get it!

KitKat for P600 is out
:good:
It was just released
Check in the General area for the link to the download. As for myself, I'm waiting for a dev to release a custom ROM for my P500.:fingers-crossed:

Whoops, typo. P600, I mean. XD
So I believe the latest official stock ROM/firmware for any of the Galaxy Tab PROs is still 4.4.2. Correct me if I'm wrong.
When will we see 4.4.4 or 4.4.3? I always thought Samsung was relatively speedy with their updates, but I read that even the LG G Pad 8.3 is about to get 4.4.4 or something. Where's our firmware update!!
CM11
Google just announced android "L" I am pretty sure Samsung will skip two minor updates and go with one major update.

Uh, I think it'll be a while before we see Android L. (Android 5.0)
Also, it's a VERY major update. Samsung will take at least 6-8 months to figure out how to customize TouchWiz/MagazineUX for Android 5.0
In the meanwhile, we still need further support for our KitKat GTP's.
There's lots of outstanding bugs/issues that they can fix to improve our experience NOW, not in 8 months time.
In 8 months time I might not be using this tablet anymore, lol.
Everything what you stated are all true, but I rarely see any tablets that go through all updates. Most I see are major android updates + manufacturers' stability updates.
It would be nice to see our tablet software is up to date but with Samsung releasing 3 or so tablets per month, most likely their focus is on running their overlay more stable rather androids minor updates.
I wish we live on a perfect world but what's fun in that haha..

Now that all G3s can be bootloader unlocked via Bump!! When do you guys think ROMS like PA, Vanir, AOKP and an official release of CM be available to us?
More info about bump > http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...mp-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-d852-d852g-f400-t2900614
Lmao. Dude you do realize our boot loader was never locked. Good luck waiting. I think most devs are turned off to this phone.
g3 soon to be NOTE 4
Tmos was always unlocked, but we're not much to the entire development community. With all variants unlocked, devs have more of an incentive to make roms. Plain and simple.

Be patient grasshopper now that the bootloader is unlocked it could be any day now for new rom releases
I'm thinking some developers might not want to mess with KitKat when Andorid L is coming out.
Or they are jumping ship

The only LG phone I seen with plenty of development wast the LG Nexus 4 and LG Nexus 5 and those werent really full LG projects.
The phones with the most development are usually the HTC / Samsung / Nexus devices.
I knew that when I purchased the G3 but this phone is now going to my phone and il be on Note 4.
The best thing to hit this G3 was Auto Prime HotSpot Tethering hack. Something I hope comes to the Note 4.
I like trying new roms but I'm so happy with this phone that I'm content with Zone, tweaksbox, and xposed.
I love the functions out of the box... Plus 32gb, awesomeness. I'll most likely pick up the g4 as my next phone. Nexus 6 looks tempting but that would be just to play with and use every now and then. I'm almost positive that the camera app won't be nearly as good as the G3.
Luckily they are out right now! Woot woot
New rooms every day out seems, but the cm based ones still have camera and bt issues not for long I suppose!

Were still on beta's with missing features, I'd say hopefully within the new year we'll have full functionally custom roms.
Title. In my ****ry some gadgets news publish that lg g4 not receive it but g3 will get the update. Its true?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
that would make no sense at all, this device is not note 7, it will receives updates and also considering G3 got V30 update and G4 is on V20 I bet we will.
Rumours says that because the bootloader bug LG afraid to update it and inspire the problem again. Its reasonable?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Yes...but in "pure" theory ! Our G4 should have it ! :good:
He is enought young....and high range device ! :good:
But with this bootloop of the death problem ,LG can decide not to do N update...
I realy hope ! Anyone have reliable source to know updates plains?

Come on guys. The G4 will 110% get it
Why are you think ? G4 was not receive 6.0.1
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Yes, it hasn't, but LG is skipping those small updates.
On the other hand - I am interested in if they release Android 7.0 or 7.1 or which version finally they will release.
Because rhey skip this "small" updates we stuck with very bad battery life

This bad battery life i got since I bought G4, so I dont know if 6.0.1 would help. It may be that 7 will be not better with battery life..
Back to history of LG G series..
The LG G2 started with Android 4.2.2, then LG decide not to give 4.3 instead jump to 4.4.2 and finally 5.0.2 and the support is dead now..
The LG G3 started with 4.4.2, then to 5.0 and LG again decided not to give 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 instead straightaway jump to 6.0..
Now the G4 started with 5.1.1 then 6.0 and again LG skipped 6.0.1..
Technically, LG loves to skip the minor update, idk why LG doing this.. Hmmm

What kind of a question is that, even.
I am pretty sure we will get Nougat but most probably not the next major version after it. Still the only thing that I really want from Nougat is native dual screen and doze on the go, my battery life is awful.
