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

Thanks for your information but what I want to know is how I would do it to install it if I do not have the factory anymore I have nothing but the pixel so what procedure do I have to do to get that update directly to my cell phone thanks

Moto Z Play users in Brazil are getting Oreo update today

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.

It's very simply. I changed my Nexus 5 because security patch wasn't update. And now, my smartphone is not update again, while a lot of phones are very very supported. I choose Xiaomi because release a lot of update and it take care of his smartphones, but this is not happening with Mi 5s. Last update was released in December. I thinks is not too strange if i'm feeling a bit messed around. They promise this update from some months

Imagine:
- You buy phone in December 2016.
- You receive Global ROM about that time, you feel happy.
- You see every month China users get new stable versions, you don't.
- Around February you lost opportunity to unlock bootloader, because you need MIUI 8.1 or above. Your ROM from December is 8.0.
- Month ago Xiaomi release Global 8.2, everybody was happy, they can unlock bootloader, but after a week ROM is deleted from Download section on official site and from OTA update.
- Week ago Xiaomi promise give you first global dev release. Yay we will be able again to unlock bootloader. And they have delay...
epilogue
- Xiaomi start release closed beta Android 7 builds for mi5s. History show us that this model for Xiaomi is ************. Global version is... I have no words.
I know that there are ways to unlock bootloader etc. But official way right now don't work for Global Stable users. This phone have almost a year and stlii no working official solution.

I'm hoping feb 9th. My birthday lol. I've tried every ROM out there and they're all excellent, but I just can't deal with the camera. I need shutter speed and iso adjustments so pictures of things like the moon look like what we see rather than a random white dot. I haven't been able to find any ROM that does it better than a stock variant with Moto camera in professional mode, so I'm stuck on Nougat until Lenovotorola gets off their butts and gives us Oreo.

This security patch changelog was up since november, so there is no reason for us not to get oreo, i mean it is probably outdated.

Does anyone know why my g5 plus hasn't been updated in so long,
It says software channel retgb and I'm still on 1st august security patch, honestly this is making me want to go back to iPhone, that's getting on for 5 months out of date for basic security.
retgb here also, security is only an issue if you use phone unwisely, in locations wifi you cannot trust, apps installed from unknown sources or dodgy websites, if not doing any of the above you should be fine.
There is only so much security you can build into any OS, the rest is down to you.

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.

"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"

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.

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.

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.

Question MIUI 13 - European version (POCO F3)

Does anyone has a prediction of when the MIUI 13 might come to the European version of the POCO F3? I thought it would be in january/february but I'm not sure if it will come out until the end of this month.
I'm pretty much hammering the refresh button myself, but if push comes to shove, we'll have to wait until Q2 of 2022 to get our release. After the official release is out, I will probably unlock the bootloader and flash the XiaomiEU ROM because the EU and Global ROMs from Xiaomi themselves will probably miss at least half of the newly announced features and retain them only for the chinese release on which XiaomiEU is based.
