Android P for MI 6

Hi, anyone heard anything about Android P beta for MI6 ? Would it be provided as a custom rom before (if) it's available from Xiaomi?
cheers!

Yea probably. I asked because it's officialy available for Xiaomi MI Mix 2s --> not sure as how the Xiaomi ecosystem works - these might be compatible ? https://developer.android.com/preview/devices/
cheers!

Probably Mix2S is Treble enabled by default?

I hope that someone will port the mi2s's beta to our mi6!
I'm starting to feel backward...

Mix 2s has treble so they just used the generic system image of P which had been out for a while.
Basically nothing special for a treble device.
It doesn't seem to boot on our treble port from Nils or Verevka so idk what's different about it.
Eh.
We will probably get LOS P in the future but for now we only just got Oreo and P is way off being a full release.

Having closely watched the LOS development for a year, I think it's gonna take a while for LOS in P to be as stable as current LOS in Oreo. And regression bug can still keep coming, regardless how mature it is.

Hi All,
thanks for your replies and input into this thread. I appreciate it, and hope, we will get some Android P
have a nice day!

Mi Mix2s Android P Beta is not a GSI. It's a specific image for that system. If it was a GSI then would we able to use it already on our Mi6.

I wan't all the goodies available when it comes to the google assistant, my take is, the new assistant features like calling a hair salon will be available on P first.
I also like the suble changes in design that come with each iteration of android.

Will the device get android p?

Will the device get android p? Official or unofficial anything will help

I'm pretty sure that there will be lots of android P custom ROMs in future but official update is impossible.

In my opinion, it will get Android p before EOL

Qualcomm relased (or it's going to) special patches for Snapdragon 8xx and 660 and 636 to help manufacturers update their devices to Android P. If Xiaomi doesn't update Remi Note 5 Pro /China/global to P, fanbase is going to literally destroy them for that

Xiaomi only give one major update for redmi note series.. which got N -> O.. so no more major android update (unless they change their policies)..
and now about Chinese variant, Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm launched in china as Redmi Note 3 (SE) with 6.0.1, it never got a single major android update..
[BTW a huge number of custom ROM will be available, thanks to Project Treble Support]

I dont think Xiaomi cares about that. They did that to RN3 Pro (Kenzo) users and they just looked the other way.

Does the Max 3 support A/B partitioning (Seamless System Updates)?

Title. Does the Max 3 support Seamless Updates?

Don't think so. It will most likely have Treble with a-only partition.

Hopefully not.

Why's that? A/B partitioning has many benefits

Well it may have some benefits for OEMs that try to update their phones as soon as a new android version releases, like OnePlus or Samsung, but it doesn't really have a lot of benefits for Companys like Xiaomi, which have a lot of devices that have to be updated because of the long support cicles, and Xiaomi is focusing more on MIUI anyway. That's why Xiaomi android version updates always take longer than other OEMs.
That's the OEM side - on the custom rom side flashing a-only Treble ROMs is just easier

But the LOS team has said A/B partitions has made it easier for the devs once they learned how to develop for it. Plus how would A/B affect the OEM? They can release A/B updates for supported phones and A partition only updates for phones that don't support them. It's in fact more advantageous for a company like Xiaomi who release a large number of updates to adopt A/B in the future as they can be sure a bad update won't brick the device like what happened with the recent anti rollback protection fiasco

No, check the video bellow at 10:38

Nope Nitrogen doesn't support A/B partition.

LOS has (or is working on) own recovery with native support a/b for LOS's OTA needs.

That's only for devices which natively support A/B. Devices which have only A partition should use TWRP

does mi max 3 A only? or a/b?
to download img which choise?

Now it does...
As of most recent CHN beta FWs, the Mmx3 is being converted from SAR A-only, to A/B non SAR.

Latest China beta is system as root (sar), a layout that was initially used for a/b. But there is still no b slot in mi max 3.

January update

Has anyone received the January update? Or have any indication when we'll receive it?

I think no one recieved that.
But i guess we will get it 2 weeks later

The only way I'm updateing is if it activtes the lte for me besides that I'm on pie.just waiting for a stable twrp or equivalent recovery option

any chance that this will fix the wifi issues with pie on the a2 lite do you think?
e.g. slow wifi when bluetooth is also on.

If you flash via fastboot the aboot.img from the, for example, 9.6.4.0 update, you can use the Oreo TWRP in Pie without any problem but I think that someone in the official TWRP thread has a custom fix for Pie.

Because it's android one phone

The A1 had the January update first because Xiaomi messed up its LTE bands, so they had to prioritize it.
With respect to the pure Android/MIUI controversy, this is an Android One phone, I don't understand why there are so many people asking for a MIUI port. I bought it exactly because it doesn't have any bull**** on top of Android.

The honor v20 supports treble however honor hasn't enabled it.
And emui 9.1 is in beta stage not magic UI 2.1 (skin of emui 9.1 which is what the honor view 20 is set to get in may)

From where did you get it?
All devices launched with Oreo should support treble or else they won't get certified by Google. V20 supports treble.

The honor view 20 does support treble however it doesn't support treble ROMs as well as seamless updates.

Seamless updates are not much a issue. For that you need two partitions A and B which implies more ROM space is reserved for system . Only a few devices have A/B partition.

Supporting treble and being able to flash treble compatible ROMs are completely different things.. If you want to flash a treble ROM or GSI (or any custom ROM) you need to have an unlocked bootloader.. Which is officially not possible now.
You could flash a treble ROM which was signed by Honor.. But there are none which I am aware off..
