It will never come an unofficial O build based on O preview! We have to wait first of all official release of android O, then it will arrive in 1-2 month I suppose.

Will we get Android Nougat ?

So, I recently saw a post on reddit that said the first and second generation android one devices will get Android N. What do you guys think ?
As per 2 years update promise, if Nougat launches in August, we have a chance of getting it. Let's hope for the best or wait for CM14
Yes we will get "N"
Google has promised us.
But one bad news is that after that no big update.
Other then security patches.

today android n is going to release..... but i don't know it is a rumor or true...!!!
Any updates on Android N? They promised 2 year update, but our 2 years will be completed on September 2016. Maybe we are expecting too much but still if anyone gets any update, please share

Android 8.0 (Oreo) for the G5

Do you know if and when we might get Android 8.0 (Oreo) for the Moto G5. According to Android Central, the Motorola G5 series of phones will get 8.0 Oreo. The only problem is the G5 doesn't even have 7.1.x

no - its a blog post on a Motorola forum - of course android O is "expected" but don't "expect" to have it by Christmas
The Motorola update page (official) hasn't even been updated since the release of android N

Threads asking about OS updates are like spoiled milk. Everyone makes the same face when they are opened, and the only thing you can do with it is pour it down the sink
Let's not fill Xda with threads asking about OS updates; Xda has 7 million + members running 2 gazillion different devices, that no one knows for sure when their OS update will actually happen, UNTIL they actually drop the update

Android Oreo 8.0 official for this device?

So yes, I see on TV these a news about Android Oreo that just released this month. Seems interesting, but I had a question:
Is there an official Android Oreo for this device?
Thanks for the advance. Sorry for my bad English.
nope. The last release they did was the final version, maybe some security patches but thats it unfortunantly.
We probably will be getting custom 8.0 roms though

oh that would be nice. I read somewhere that they would only do security patches and that 7.1 was the last major update they would do. I hope what i read wasn't true because it would be amazing to have an official 8.0 build

OK, thanks. I need to turn on my VPN first because in Indonesia Reddit is blocked.
Wish I found out about this sooner. I already ported my my device to Lineage OS 14.1 build, and now I await the Lineage OS 15 build with all its new optimizations and features built from Android Oreo.

Hardware support has ended, but software support goes on until February 2018. I think O will be the last manufacturer update we see.

i hope that oreo for our device will come along with the z play release.. or a bit later by a couple of days
With the G6 line set to launch tomorrow, we may receive Oreo soon. Motorola does publish release notes weeks before rolling out updates, so the update likely won't come out of the blue.
You can look for the release notes here

You will wait until it is released for our model. You need to go completely stock, but once you flashed pixel, unless you saved a backup of your stock, you will be better to wait.

i think it will come with oreo, at least in the soak tests..
i mean, we get a security patch every 2 months (november, january, march) and now for some reason we get april in time.. weird

They will likely do that or update without a security patch and then provide the April one after.
It will arrive between April 25th and May 7th. First in Brazil, then in other countries.
Is it true or that false promise that between April 25 and may 7
i'm pretty sure it's fake, motorola does not provide dates, how did a blog owner get this information to share with us?
also as some user said above, oreo release notes are not avaable, and they appear 1 or 2 months before the release, so...
All they care about right now is marketing the g6, they will not release oreo before the g6 is out, lame but business is business.
May is getting near, Moto's work on Oreo for G6 family, E5 family, Z family and X family is completed. So now all they have left is G5 series.
Keep looking for the May security patch release notes.
If it me mentions Oreo, then we will receive Oreo within end of May. If release notes not released or doesn't mentions Oreo, then it may arrive in June or July.
Let's see what happens.
Obviously for Lenovo, business is way more important than being honourable. I would not even consider a Lenovo device in future, regardless of how much bang for buck it presents.

Realme UI for Realme 5 pro available March 5, 2020

Hello
According to sources coming from the manufacturer's forum "REALME", the availability of the new OS7 Realme UI version on Android 10 will be available on 03/05/2019 (probably for download) and then in OTA in the days that follow.
So late? Weren't they supposed to release it this February? ?

I thought so too ...
Too bad when we see that the Realme 3 pro is already available on Android 10 with Realme UI ....
I heard that when it got released for 3 Pro, it turned out to be buggy, so they took it off from their website and gave back the link to the OS 6, and just a week back or so, they gave the OS 7 link (with some critical bugs removed)
I think that OS 7 could be glitchy, that's why they postponed it, because they don't wanna get it wrong.

I'd prefer a late release of Realme UI as long as bugs have been fixed.
Me too ?
This is why iOS always one step ahead

Could you please pull out files with this beta? Here is some instruction how to do it from telegram channel:
"Help others :
If you receive realme ui update before anyone else and want to help others get it faster as well do the following steps
connect device to pc open cmd
type this command
adb pull /data/oppo/coloros/OTA/.otapackage/
or
if you have unlocked bootloader boot into twrp & go in twrp file manager
/data/oppo/coloros/OTA/.otaPackage/
You can get Ozip file here
Copy paste it in internal or sd card
Do upload it on drive.google.com So others can get update faster"
Please help others

Is it actually possible to install betas manually? I thought others have said that it refuses to install them unless the phone is registered with the beta program.
Regardless, is there a way for Hellosumit to get the link rather than upload the files?

It seems that way. A new user and he disappears after a single post.
Do we assume that the rollout won't start until 5th March? Is that confirmed? It was supposed to be February.
I got my R5P last week and don't plan on using it until the update arrives. I don't like ColorOS, but I like the look of Realme UI. Unfortunately, Realme took a while after commencing the OTA update to add the update for the R3P and XT to the website.
Realme released an update for the Realme X today with the Feb security patch. They're working hard at Realme, despite the Corona virus. Take note, Xiaomi. Hopefully Realme UI is only two weeks away.
Realme UI for the X will begin rolling out in China tomorrow. The R5P is to begin receiving the update in stages some time this week. Hopefully they add it to their website quickly.

It looks like it's the 26th, not the 25th for the X.

Yeah, it seems unlikely that they'd released a beta for the Q but a stable for the 5 Pro in the same week. That's disappointing.
Customer care has been saying that the update would be available in the last week of February. They are doing the same trick that Xiaomi did for the A1 update for Android 9. It was supposed to be released in December and the Team did release it on 31st midnight.
So Feb 29th, night maybe the stipulated date of the official announcement about the release of OTA which would further drag into mid-March when they release the heavy 2-3 or maybe 4GB of the update file.
