In a statement to TechRadar a spokesperson for HTC said, "The HTC One M8 is outside of the update window, so it is not currently slated to receive Nougat.It will continue to receive critical security fixes as necessary and some HTC apps will continue to receive updates direct from Google Play

I dont think it will be updated i have no idea.but 90% no update
Meh, we already knew marshmallow was the last official big update for m8 for a long time now.
It's not HTC's fault. It's Qualcomm. They don't release the Graphics Driver that supports Vulkan API for the 800/801 chipsets.

However. Android Nougat don't need Vulkan to function. You should see the unofficial ports of Nougat from the devs
it would still be nice to have it if for nothing else but the power savings (assuming it takes over the running of openGL written games).
Really wished Google would support devices for 3 years, 2 years is really short. The M8 GPE with the 801 is still very fast and smooth.

Its not up to Google, its up to the individual device manufacturer.
Sure, it would be nice if HTC supported the device longer. But HTC did good by this phone, 2 years is a decent run. Especially since it was largely a financial decision; and HTC is in dire straits financially.
In contrast, Samsung abandoned my Tab Pro 8.4 almost at birth (around the same time the M8 was released), since it didn't sell well enough (whatever that is). A couple minor bug fix patches, but it never even got a single major update; and never made it past KitKat that it deployed with.
"It will continue to receive critical security updates", says htc. What a joke. I'm still on the 12-2015 security patch.
Shame on you, HTC!

Yes, HTC hasn't done too hot releasing the monthly security patches, however, I was surprised we got Marshallow at all, so I'm not complaining too hard.
Some devices never get a single update at all. The M8 started life with Kit Kat and ended on Marshmallow, which is pretty rare for any non-Nexus Android device.

Yeah but remember that Lollipop was buggy and we didn't get another update fixing any of that for a whole year.
True, they owed us one after that Lollipop fiasco...
So sad to see M8 GPE now stuck at Marshmallow 6.0 with July 1, 2016 security patch, RIP.
Keeping this phone as long as I can!

we have AOSP roms based on android 7.1.1 with minor bug for a 3 years old device ( launched with android 4.4.2 ) that's enough for me

If the source code isn't released we can't do anything. So it's probably not even the dev's fault as much as it is Google's.
All we can do is wait.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news...
Ports assume the two devices (the base device, and the one to port to) are very similar (same chipset, et cetera). A good example (I used to use HTC) is the Sensation was a very good base for the MyTouch 4G Slide (they even shared the same battery design/size).
Unfortunately the Zenfone 2 and either of the new Nexus devices are worlds apart from each other. They don't share the same architecture, let alone chipset. We would be better off piggybacking off the work of the ASUS Fonepad 7 FE375CG (Z3560 Chipset) or the Asus Memo Pad 8 ME581CL (Z3580) - but in reality, in terms of updates - it's more likely we would be the base for those devices in a few months time.
Sorry.

That's right, all we can do is wait, then build from source once available.
Porting has it's place, but it can be a gong-show.

AOSP is available, but now we have to wait to have CM13 in a manageable state. I don't imagine cpalmer and jrior001 will put on the brakes with CM12.1 to build straight from AOSP.
ROMe wasn't built in a day, and it will be months before CyanogenMod will be able to have the AOSP source modified for the new CM13 and reach the coveted milestone one.

Why am I being thrown under the bus? :silly:
In all seriousness, if CarbonROM continues to base their stuff off of CM (which I heard talk of that changing), this time around they may be once again months behind CM in terms of an official product (e.g, none of their devices have hit official status yet this round, or at least as of last night).
Not to speak ill of course, which is why I am curious of the route that does not involve basing off of CyanogenMod.
No guarantees with my involvement to 6.0, but I am interested in the job. I just can't predict what my life demands are going to be like in the spring (time seems tight right now, but I manage).
My short and medium term plans is to keep the 5.1 builds going, hopefully even after Carbon calls it quits for this branch to focus on the new one. The only possible things stopping me are:
Carbon leaves lp5.1.1 branch perfect, meaning I don't even have to do monthlies anymore (also means no future security issues)
CyanogenMod breaks their sources badly (has happened recently when Carbon couldn't keep up)
I get the official stock 6.0 image which ends up breaking modem usage - leaving me unable to properly downgrade to 5.1 to test
It feels like with this plan, someone is going to beat me to the punch by building a CarbonROM mm-6.0 ahead of me. Which is why at some point, I will (probably) be doing builds in parallel. But we shall see when we get there.
Just read this: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/10/android-6-0-marshmallow-thoroughly-reviewed/
Doesn't seem much for us CM12.1 users to get very excited about anyway. Material design not changed from Lollipop, Google Now launcher already updated with the changes, selectable app permissions already included in CM12.1 via Privacy Guard, fingerprint api and 4K display stuff irrelevant to our zenfones...
Personally, I think a stable CM12.1 (5.1.1) build is more important. In fact, the unofficial build we already have is stable and very nearly there, but I would rather see the last few kinks ironed out and official status before any time is put into 6.0
Most importantly, it should support 64bit for the z00a. Any news on this?

I am a WWE HTC One M9 user from the very beginning, did some custom ROM fiddling until some months ago, but I stopped enjoying the weekly or even daily updating and went back to the latest MM ROM that was available.
By chance I started the Stagefright detector tool today as I was cleaning some apps and found out that there was a load of vulnerabilities the tool said my device was affected by (16! CRITICAL, 29 high, 3 moderate). I didn't feel too good about it and wondered if it may be related to the fact that I still had a developer version on my phone.
So I changed the MID and flashed the latest WWE RUU 3.35.401.12, basically back to full stock, hoping that whis will get me to the very latest version HTC released. Result: Same vulnerabilities found by the tool, and an Android Security Patch level of 2015-12-01 in the menu . Also, no updates available via the menu.
I am really wondering whether there will be any updates coming anymore - increasing the security of my device to an acceptable state again.
Right now, the phone feels broken to me, with no way to fix it at the moment. I am tempted to call my provider and have them take the phone back for this reason -> I believe that not only hardware can break a phone.
What do you guys think, are you planning to ditch the M9 in the near future or do you expect any updates to come to it?
Cheers
PS I was slightly disappointed with it from the beginning - primarily due to the disaster of a camera they built in. I do have the feeling that I need to find a reason to get rid of it, and this would definitely be one.
The biggest flaw with the Android ecosystem is that updates are dependent not just on Google, but also the manufacturer and the carrier. HTC is not one of the better manufacturers in ensuring timely updates.
There is a solid selection of ROMs that are using the latest version of Android, but they are in varying stages of development. Your mileage may vary.
In short, if you want regular updates flash a ROM or purchase a Nexus device.
If you want the latest security patches CM13 is your best bet. Or I installed the HTC 10 port and Stagefright Detector detected only 1 critical, 13 high, and 1 moderate issues.

What gets faster updates? Nexus or Motorola and that is it? Not sure how that makes HTC one of the worst. I had an m8 months ago and it was already on marshmallow when i got it. The lg g2 was abandoned at 4.4.2 here in Canada where the carrier's tend to be a little better at updates. That was definitely lg's decision there. Also the g3 was way slower to get an update than the m8. So I don't think you can say it's one of the worst. I'd say lg is.

I hope not, because I just upgraded my 72 year old mother from a Nexus 5 to a OnePlus 3. Well, it's on the way.
I may not modify anything on the phone. However, I do have a question: Does OnePlus update their phones to the latest versions of Android often, regularly, or will she be lucky to see updates at all?
Thanks!

They are generally quite good regarding monthly security updates.
Regarding new android versions, it's not exactly the same. Oh, they will definitely update the OP3 to Android Nougat. Android O won't be out and you'll already have Nougat on your phone ! Amazing ! So fast ! :laugh:
Oneplus are certainly not the best regarding updates but they are probably not the worst.
Don't expect fast updates like Nexus.
Monthly updates are nice, if there're bugs , you may get 2-3 update per month. You surely get the Android N update, but with my experiences with OP1 and 2, you will have to wait 3-4 months after nexus, simply because you are running on a custom android- Oxygen( quite nice now) so they are worth waiting.
and remember you always have HUGE deverlop community here, OP forum &chinese forums( which you could have strange ROMs port ) , so dont afraid ,

The OP3 is a shift for them. I think they're potentially going to change the game up on their whole paradigm simply based on the success of this phone. The public and media seem to be pretty fond of the OP3 at present, and Oneplus will need to maintain that momentum and keep their client base happy. If they're smart, they'll push Android M no later than Q4 of this year.
Does any one know when will this latest flagship from asus is about to get Android P.
As the direct compiters of this device is far ahead of the game in providing updates(but with my exp of using this device couple of days it's Sw is pretty stable).
As a android user I will be always eager to use latest updates from Google and see how the performance and innovation is getting improved.
My past exp with using custom roms is very bad and my openion in custom roms is full of bugs and instability.
Instead the device maifacturer has the competency to build and test the rom which is reliable enough. So depending on the OEM is far better. This is just my openion but unfortunately OEM's are not dependable and greedy these days due to completion and other things in market.
Bottom line when is the Android P expected to this device. Or in your openion should I shift to a good supplier who provides faster updates.
Thanks.

Why are people so hung up on the getting the newest update immediately? There are usually bugs that need to be worked out, such as the Android P fast charging bug.
I'd rather get it a little later after it's smoothed out.
I'm expecting it at end of Q4/18.

Hello folks,
Looking for a sub-$200 phone with decent hardware and enough XDA support for the updates.
HTC 10 hardware seems decent for the price available (around $160). I checked the threads but I am not too sure if there is enough support for this device on the board. I could not locate any 'upcoming' pie thread. So I am curious if there is any support for this device on the board that makes it worth spending $160 for this device.
If it does,
What version is the best? My goal is to get unlocked version but if I don't find it and have to go for a carrier labeled, which one should I get (which one I must avoid). I am on at&t.
Many thanks in advance.

HTC 10 is a good phone but I think it's not worth buying in 2018, because you will never have much support or updates in stock and with custom rom you will see a dying project.
That is my opinion
There is currently an unofficial LineageOS Oreo version which has most things working apart from the woofter (the bottom loudspeaker) and the chap creating that, fagyi, is also working on Lineageos pie version as well. If he pulls it off, you will have Oreo and also pie for the HTC10. He seems dedicated, and has done fantastic things so far, but there is no guarantee. It might be, it never works OK.
Apart from him, there are NO other ports of pie, and the development of them never even started.
Is it a good phone? Yep, it is. I think it is great and am using LineageOs Nougat, which works fine. But I can only recommend it IF you are prepared to take the risk that the LineageOS version above will work out and then become official.
As for HTC, there is no hope. They released a rather rushed version of Oreo out and that's that.

Maybe, maybe not....if Fagyi solves a few problems then we will have Oreo fully working and maybe even Pie.
But this all comes down to one person. If you want a device with active development by multiple people with multiple ROMS, then you should look elsewhere.

LineageOS Nougat (official version) works just fine on HTC 10 and the woofer works as it should.
HTC 10 have great hardware but HTC device software support management is absolutely worthless. HTC is ruining their costumers loyalty. They are supporting devices only one year long.
After official release Android 8.0 battery life is catastrophical, but HTC coorporation is not doing anything to fix that. That's why HTC 10 is my last device from HTC.
Better choose other manufacturers.

I bought the 10 earlier this year as a stop gap after my Pixel died. I was keen to wait for the Pixel 3 as the 2 didn't do it for me.
The handset itself is nice enough, camera is just ok and the battery life with Oreo is truly awful. Thankfully Quick Charge makes it useable. Screen is good, but not as punch as amoled.
Depends on your requirements, the handset does have more or less everything, but I compared app speed against a Huawei 3e and it was faster to launch apps like facebook and linkedin.
I agree; I think the hardware is fantastic and the phone is robust unlike a lot of new glass phones.
I also prefer a LCD screen over amoled, so that's good too.
But the software is dreadful and it's completely unacceptable to drop support after such a short period of time. Just look at Apple who released ios12 this week for iPhone 6 released in 2014!
My HTC 10 is going well on LineageOS 14 (Nougat) and hopefully Fagyi on these forums will get Oreo or Pie working one day which will add life to this old phone. But if he can't then I will be stuck with outdated software on my phone.
In any case, this will be my last phone from HTC.....
