Surprisingly frequent updates - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Starting sometime in November I began to receive *daily* updates for my OnePlus One (LineageOS 15.10), a surprising increase over the roughly weekly or biweekly ones I had previously received. The ChangeLog reveals almost nothing has changed - for example, in the last 8 daily updates only one ChangeLog entry is non-empty. Has something happened with the update process?
Thanks,
Jeff

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS 15.1 thread that's specific to your device for support and guidance.

15.1 builds come nightly, 14.1 comes monthly (or such)

They may build nightly, but until mid November they were not pushed OTA. And the ChangeLogs are largely empty....

OK, I assume this is what you are referring to:
We realize 15.1 builds aren’t including many (if any) changes in a single day, but...

Is there any chance builds with no changes can not be pushed OTA? Six out of seven days we get an update notification and nothing has changed - but we cannot tell without checking the changelog. It may be a security update but it is usually nothing at all. Can empty updates be suppressed?
Thanks,
Jeff

That's what. Nightly builds won't usually include any drastic changes. Check the changelog bi-monthly or so, that's what I'm doing now. I was on the 20181211 build until yesterday. The rate at which he wants to update solely depends on the user

Is there any way to get *just* the updates where something actually changed?
It just seems silly (and a bit insecure) for "nothing changed" updates and "important security bugfix" to be indistinguishable.

For me it's enough to update in the middle of each month.

Monthly Security Patches for Honor-6x

Hallo guys & gals, I wanted to ask you guys about monthly Security Patches as Google has made bound all the OEMs to release monthly security patches for their devices. In this regard most of the devices are getting monthly or at least once in a couple of months but my Honor-6x is not getting any OTA update since April 2017.
Do you guys have any idea or does any body have any Honor 6x with a more recent security update patch?

Honor 6X is getting updated to latest patches every month, currently it's in August Patch 2017...!!!

Every month lol. The best Joke i have read.
Well, it depends on the region, US models are rarely updated (unlike EU and Indian variants)
I saw in your signature that your phone model is BLN-21. Could you check if your build ends with B360? If yes, an update should come out soon but meanwhile you should be able to force it, by going on system update > tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner > download latest update (if the option isn't there you cannot force it yet)
As you can see in these screenshots, in the 1st system update says that there aren't updates; in the 2nd, the option mentioned above is the first of the list, and finally in the 3rd i can download the update
Whoops i forgot the third screenshot, here it is
Well guys as you can see in my shared screen shot my device is on B361 of update level and the region is actual Pakistan which falls under middle east region. Now I actually created the thread to make it sure, whether my region is getting updates or not?
And thanks, @RedSkull23, I have tried your suggestion but as you see my device is already on B361.
I think my real problem is the update via firmware finder, and that's why my device isn't getting OTA updates. As the below screen shot reveals my device is on B361 but the security patch is 5 April 2017, and it is the time when this update was released and I updated my device through FF, since than I have tried a lot but I couldn't get any OTA update.
Sent from my BLN-L21 using Tapatalk
When I still had my 6x, the patch would come about 10-15 days after Google released it. Couldn't say it's timely, but it indeed come monthly.
Btw, I have a Chinese model 6x.
Monthly in China ? And others can go to hell ?
I had to push B365 after about 3 months after B360. Others don't get it at all.

Can you check or, do you remember if previous build number matches with the number of your actual build, or if not? If they doesn't match, maybe the FF update you did has moved you on a different build number, and so your software update won't find nothing because that's the latest package of your ACTUAL build, instead of the previous. Personally, i get confused every time that i finish to speak about FF updates because with all that packages stored and selectable, the number of possibilities that could provoke an issue are too much to be hold in mind at the same time
You are absolutely right FF has its very serious pros & cons. And yes, I think I remember the previous build number of my device, it was B360 and I did a full package download and dload upgrade on my device, and I also remember I was too much enthusiastic to find a sulotuion for the FM radio problem, yet in vain.

If update size is 200-300 mb then no, it will have the twrp recovery. Make sure you have stock recovery before trying OTA update

There's not going to be any changes until Pie. "B" (at least on US998) did bring a silent notifications fix.
The July security update tries to block our WTF bootloader unlock exploit, but LG feels nothing else needs fixing. So, probably all "Oreo" updates will just be security patches until we get Pie sometime next year.

Not seen any updates here so far have they released a new one?
I never received the previous update, so I guess I am lucky in this sense!
My understanding is that the first release was a beta test!
Not sure what the approach will be for releasing a new update: give it to the same people as the first or to everyone?
I do hope you all got your phones up and running again! And let's hope the next update will be better!

Even if it were as you say, I don't think Xiaomi has made a good impression, the "Beta testers" cannot be the unsuspecting and unfortunate users

It is normal to be wrong, not to persevere ...
"Xiaomi is aware of the Android 10 update issues in Mi A2 Lite and the launch to users of that device has now been suspended . Our teams are now working to solve the problem and our goal is to implement an update via OTA throughout March. Affected users are recommended to take their devices to authorized Xiaomi service centers for post-sale assistance."

Where Is The OxygenOS 10.0.0 for the OnePlus 5 and 5T?

I see that on the OnePlus forum it mentions a roll out udpate for Android 10, but I still have not seen this on my phone.
https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygenos-10-0-0-for-the-oneplus-5-and-5t.1231626/
Has anyone seen this update yet on their phone, or know anything about this?

OnePlus... They didn't announce anything since their first release of Android 10 in May. In August FAQ OP5 isn't even mentioned anymore.

perhaps following thread helps
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/official-oxygenos-4-7-2-7-1-1-ota-t3709265
Guys, even if you download the 9.0.11 build from https://www.oneplus.in/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156155944 and flash it, you shall see the OOS 10 update from system update. If not from system update then download the oxygen updater from play store.
Ok guys...
I'm just trying to figure out why I don't just get an update for it to the phone?
I thought by now everywhere in the world the update would be pushed to the phone already?
Are there still people not getting the update through the phone still OTA?
THANKS
Bite the bullet and manually update. I know it's a PITA; but, if there's no OTA for your phone and you want to upgrade to A10, just go for it. You'll be better off with a fresh install anyway.
Same situation in here. Waiting for Android 10 since May (when stable release rollout was announced).
Edit: I found way too many people talking about bugs on Android 10 (battery drain, fingerprint sensor delay, call recording bug). I'm not sure, but maybe staying on OOS 9.0.11 is the right call.
If someone in here is already on OOS 10, please comment on that. Thanks

I suggest looking in the official OP5/T Android 10 announcement thread. Over 400 pages of complaints and questions and OP doesn't give a ****. The thread is like a disaster area. The first Android 10 update was pulled because of that many bugs. Shortly after they pushed the update again with some hotfixes but with the same version number and without announcement. Then they pulled it again.
Maybe in the next 1-2 weeks there will be an update with some fixes and a more recent security patch. Hopefully not only June like in hydrogen OS but I don't expect much to be honest. I'm almost done with OP
btw I installed OOS 10.0.0 and rooted (to install dotfix + Gcam) and I'm pretty happy with it.
also, google pay stopped working after root. I guess I'll live without it since dotfix is really worth it IMHO.

Updates via OTA have always been hit or miss on Samsung devices so it's not a case of Samsung losing interest.

That's still a generalization since it's not specific to me!
There is a July update, I already have it. It was delayed though. It usually comes to me at the middle of the month, now it came on the 26th, July. Still in time though.
It depends on what model you have. I have the snapdragon and I think it gets it first, as predominantly where this device is sold, it is the snapdragon version.

Been out for a long time. You can download the firmware and manually update at any time, if you haven't gotten the OTA yet
I have noticed for me who is in South Africa. My security updates generally is a month late or so. Like the June Update I only received around the 25th of July. So I should probably get the July update closer to the end of this month.
Sammobile is a bit behind on updates for my model. so I get the OTA first then it updates on the site.
Unless there is another site a person can download from

I've seen a couple of posts here in xda and in reddit where someone mentions having downloaded firmware from samfw.com and getting errors with them (something along the lines of "error validating footer") and it surprises me that both posts mention this website specifically. Therefore, I don't recommend it anymore. I will always recommend Frija over anything else, no download speed limit and it's never failed on multiple devices.

But then you have to wait for the enc4 file to be decrypted into a zip. On SamFW, the speeds are just as fast as Frija, but the files are already in zip format

Yes, and? Never had any problem with Frija !
Moreover, that it is decrypted into ZIP after the download makes it possible to be sure that it is complete.
