Android 11 - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if there will be an unofficial Android 11 release? I suspect not, this is an older device, but curious. I know Samsung does not have plans to include these devices in the official rollout.

I just checked current notification in Samsung members app - see attached screenshot.
It's not on the official update list.
But on many devices there will be custom roms based on newer Android versions.
Maybe there will be one for your device, too.

Android 8 development ?

DISCLAIMER I'm not English, sorry in advance.
So if you don't know Android O (8.0) as been announced and a dev version has been released.
Does lineageOS is going to make a version for this new android update ?
Will it be compatible with Samsung galaxy s4 ? (Just like his brother LineageOS 7.1.1)
That's pretty much it thank you for taking your time to read.
Best regards ; Bread.

I don't think the Android version number has been confirmed, just "O". There will certainly be LOS15* release corresponding with "O", but it is way too early to know about device support.

You're right tho from what I've seen there is not that much of a difference from android 7.1.1 and android 8.0 same UI and option pretty much, only few new feature and I guess some optimisation.

Hotspot issue after upgrading to 7.1.1, please help.

I have a dual sim reteu with locked bootloader. After upgrading to 7.1.1, my hotspot is not working.
Actually, I didn't check hotspot before 7.1.1.
Anyone with the same problem. Or Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks
You installed beta software, with that comes the risk of losing certain features. Android 7.1.1 hasn't been released officially by Motorola.

Sorry if I changed the subject, I'm still on android 6.0.1 (retla). You mean the OTAs that have posted are soak test? If so, I prefer to keep trying to get the official OTA. But I have the doubt, you mean 7.1.1, maybe the 7.0 that is in the forum if it is stable? If so, you can pass the official OTA link of 7.0. Thanks for your help

MIUI 12 with Android 10 for rn5 pro?

asking if someone would know, if its possible for developers to create a custom miui 12 rom with Android 10 for our devices as we all know our phone is not updatable to android 10 without the help of custom roms, hoping that this could happen would love to live for that
If not official, it will be very buggy. Also, you don't need Android 10 having MIUI on top.
Android 9 miui 12 beta is there

The stuff, we saw on promo or rewiews, they're from flagship models, so we won't get any of them, at least not yet, but we will get android 10 in near future. I don't think we can manage to get miui 12 with android 10 before the official rollout.

Whyred beta updates will be dropped soon !
The end of support for RN5 is in this June (next month). It's not gonna have anymore beta and updates (also no more xiaomi.eu builds). This MIUI 12 is gonna be the last update and it's probably gonna come late 2020 or early 2021. MIUI is garbage anyway just move to custom ROMs. We probably gonna have custom Android 11 ROM before MIUI 12 release for our phone.

Those are features of MIUI 12 not from Android 10. I'm using latest mi-globe ROM and despite it doesn't have floating windows, they are supported. When I receive a WhatsApp message, it will open a floating window (aka quick reply) of the app.

what i thought because of the floating window is like the split screen, i saw in some yt vids that it can be accessed in the recents, and instead of split screen its called floating window, I guess I'll try whatsapp if thats the case, but yeah, im planning to go back to custom rom, and just wait for the stable global release

That link has a anotatation next to our device. If you scroll down you will see that Android 11 is excluded from the One Action if sold in the united states and Canada. I'm in the US so I will need to install A custom Rom.
I saw that as well, but am hoping that maybe I will be able to flash an international rom sometime ion the future. I had an HTC M9 that started as a US phone but flashed an international ROM to it. Will see what transpires.

Update from MIUI 12.0.8 Stable to 12.0.1?

Dear Mi 10T lite community,
I am new to Xiaomi, originally coming from a OnePlus phone.
This is a Mi 10T lite phone bought in Germany from a German carrier.
Even before installing my personal data and apps, I had updated to the latest global version 12.0.8.0 of the Xiaomi stock ROM.
Today I get the notification, that the second (first after real install) update is available and my phone wants up UPDATE from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1 !?!?
What kind of update is this. The version number is being reduced?
The patch level is said to increase from January 2021 to February 2021, which sounds okay.
The current ROM (12.0.8) is Android 10 based. The new ROM (12.0.1) claims to be "Stable MIUI based on Android 11". Is this the upgrade to Android 11? I thought the Update to Android 11 will be with MIUI 12.5 in summer!?
Would you advise to upgrade this stock ROM? -- For me this sounds strange. On OnePlus I have always relied on the ROM upgrades. What about this?
Thank you for any advise in advance!
Best regards
Ethan

If you notice that the update ROM has R instead of Q in the string *JSEUXM that denotes next update - R follows Q. The numbering is for Miui version 12 and the iteration .0.1 means it's the first one in this R cycle.
And it is android 11. Going to install it myself - if it's now out of beta and ota'ing

Hello Gazblade,
thank you very much. This is quite interesting. I had only looked at the "human readable" part of the version number, not at the "machine readable" part.
You are right. This is an update from QJSEUXM to RJSEUXM and thus it should be a new version. It is good to learn the "Xiaomi-style".
Nevertheless it should NOT mean, that their GUI, MIUI is downgraded to an earlier version from 12.0.8 to 12.0.1. This is intriguing.
Obviously the third digit of the MIUI version number has nothing to do with respect to the currentness of Xiaomi's GUI software. Right?
Also the text "based on Android 11" is at least misleading.
Nevertheless, based on your feedback, I will try the update later.
Have a great day!
Best regards
Ethan
Just a note for "Based on Android 11" - it is important because you can have MIUI 12 based on Android 9 or Android 10 or Android 11. Most of the features will be shared among different Android versions, with some exceptions (or freshly introduced underlaying Android bugs/design changes).

I am not sure whether I got the point. Xiaomi had offered "MIUI 12.0 based on Android 11" for my Android 10 phone and this upgrade MIUI 12.0 is still using (or based on) Android 10.
Android 11 will come with MIUI 12.5 Right?
Thus does this "based on" read "has been compiled with Android 11"? Or "Is running on Android 11 and older"?
I had planned to install the update tonight, but in the meantime the OTA update disappeared again and is no longer found by the Xiaomi updater! What a strange policy.
Has the "R" version been withdrawn and is back to beta status?
With my old OnePlus updates were pretty straight-forward. I do not understand the Xiaomi update policy until now...

MIUI is only skin (albeit quite heavy) on the top of Android. Xiaomi decided to offer the same MIUI version on top of more than one Android version. So our phone came with MIUI 12 + Android 10 and now it's being upgraded to MIUI 12 + Android 11. Next major upgrade will be MIUI 12.5 + Android 11. But it's possible that Xiaomi will offer also MIUI 12.5 + Android 10 for other (older) phone models..
It can be a bit confusing, but you don't need to stress too much about it.
The Update to 12.0.1.0 RJSEUXM is back and I have downloaded the OTA update already. Currently I am charging my phone before applying the update. -- Be safe. At least on the battery.
Did anybody already apply this update to Android 11?
There are so many rumors about problems with this update, but there are not many clear facts.
Would you recommend adopting to Android 11 already now or wait for MIUI 12.5?

I will put it this way. For every bigger Android update there are a bunch of people who hate it and they will make a lot of noise on forums. They don't like some design changes or cosmetic bugs. Most people are not bothered by them or they barely notice them. Of course that there is always a chance of serious bugs, but problematic updates are usually pulled down quickly and the information is often covered in articles (on XDA or similar pages). There is no known serious bug in this update and it's considered as a safe update. I am very sure that MIUI 12.5 update will be "the worst update in the history of all updates" for some people (like it was with MIUI 12 or MIUI 11; or Android 11 or Android 10 etc.)..
I updated one or two weeks ago and except already mentioned misaligned (but still functional) text in notifications I haven't noticed anything worth mentioning. I personally recommend the update, but as always, YMMV..

Thank you, _mysiak_!
I have just updated to 12.0.1.0.RJSEUXM. My Mi 10T lite is now running Android 11 absolutely flawlessly. Good recommendation! And probably a very correct explanation in your message above.
Could someone upload and share the MiQT Lite XQCN file (EEA or Global)? I need this file to test some things on my 9 Pro 5G.
did your miui optimization options got removed after the update cause mine did
