How long until average CM users get Android L? - General Topics

Hello, I was wonder if anybody had a estimated guess on to when CM 11 would get Android L. I'm planning on buying a Nexus soon, but I'm waiting for the X to come out. Sorry if asking in the wrong place.

I'd hold my breath. They usually wait a little after the initial source comes out. On a nexus you may get it fast, but since we just figured out L will be called "Lollipop", it may be a bit for cm to make some type to stable build with all the new stuff in L.

As far as I know Google will release the new version of Android OS some time in the mid this month.

Welcome to XDA! Nothing official on a date but maybe by the end of Oct.
What device are you using and planning to upgrade?
i personally wont expect it for months yet. even more so to be ported to existing devices.

Froyo was running / ported on the motorola droid within a week of the Google I/O announcement. The nexus one had it officially released 24 hours or so after the announcement.
Any build of 3.0 will get ported to most major phones (well the phones that aren't locked down, thanks so much moto droid 2 / X and the new HTC g2) in less then a week from any build released.
I thought the rumoured date was Nov. 11th or something like that
No source because i forget where i got that one from
This might shed some light

[silly question] Will nexus 5 get the final Android L?

This might be silly question, but i have been wondering if we will get the final Android L in fall. I am very new to this how this gets updated and so on, and i wondered if we will be left with only the testing version of Android L or we will get the final thing too in fall as official update to nexus 5?

Nexus devices usually get 18 months of updates after release, so yes.
Thread belongs in Q&A, not General.
The Nexus 5 will get the L update. Even ones after that

No doubt! Wouldn't make much sense giving us a preview and then not giving us an update
Never fear...it will be here!
Of course, that's what the Nexus line of phones were meant for. That's what this OS was built and tested on by google engineers.

The last major update for the Nexus 5 will most probably be the L release. Minor updates will happen like we had 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and such.

Hey that happened to me with ICS and my Xperia Play...
Just saying...
The Nexus 4 is still receiving updates isn't it? Question answered.

No, if L is 5.0, the Nexus 5 will at least get 5.1 as well. It won't be a question until 5.2, but the Nexus 5 will probably get that as well. Heck, we're pretty sure even the Nexus 4 will get L, and the N5 will get updates at least a year longer than the N4.
I see the same question by many Nexus 4 users. "Will we get an official Android L?"
I also think we (Nexus 5) will get an official Android 5.0 too.:silly:
And you really needed to open a new thread for that instead of asking in one of the countless L threads ? Hope the mods will clean up here soon.

QUESTION about android L

Hello guys!
I wanna ask I see lots of video about android L, but I cant wait!
And do you think is there any option for porting L to our device?

CM ver will probably continue supports One S but no more HTC Sense. HTC said it officially M7 will receive Android L within 90days so indeed we still have chance but only after kernel sources released.
I doubt we still have any devs live in this board at that time, they probably will all move to other newer HTC phones.
There will still be devs looking to port it, guaranteed. All phones have devs that stick around for a long time.

I guess it is not possible, many devs already not owned their One S and been moved to other phones now. I can't believe the rest of devs will still have it next year. Yes, I think there will still have someone who try to port but it will be a never stable release edition and can not using as a daily driver.

Guess on how long it will take for a 5.0 rom once AOSP is released?

This is obviously a difficult question to answer since it's all speculation but I am needing to decide between sticking with my Nexus 5 and getting the Android 5.0 update on November 3rd or ordering the OnePlus One that I preordered on Monday. I think 5.0 is kind of a game changer and I don't want to be rocking 4.4.4 until possibly February waiting for Cyanogenmod to push out 5.0.
So what I'm wondering is about how long it is expected to take for a decent 5.0 rom for the One to come out once AOSP drops? I have had Nexus phones since the Galaxy Nexus so I'm not used to having to think about these kinds of things, haha.

Official CM11S confirmed to be released 90 days after release. I don't know the first CM nightlies, which may be unusable because of bugs will maybe start 1.5 or 2 months after release. AOSP port should be there noticeably sooner Maybe we'll even see the dev preview ported before the release
5-6 days for the nightlies for the first alpha versions.
It's kinda like asking how long a piece of string is. Nobody can answer this question for sure.

Within 3 months of release for 11S but for sources who knows they will need all the updated drivers etc from the manufacturers and such.
Thanks guys, I somehow forgot about CM alpha builds, nightlies, etc. It's been a while since I was a CM flash-a-holic I guess, haha. I'm totally fine with flashing somewhat unstable builds though, so I went ahead and pre-ordered the One. Now I have a 4-6 week wait anyway so maybe we'll have a usable 5.0 build by then.

Will mi4c get Marshmallow update?

Fellow users,
Greetings. I am concerned on an issue since it is nowhere listed that Mi4c will get Marshmellow. Will mi4c get Marshmallow update? please confirm with link. TIA
Of course it will, its only a 2 months old device so they can't just ditch it like that. The specs can easily handle Android M.

Well the Mi3 and Mi4 is still stuck with kitkat 4.4.3/4.4.4 and they can easily handle lollipop. When I bought this phone, I sorta accepted the fact that android updates won't come. To be fair Xiaomi is updating MIUI OS quite often so I guess it's fine. Anyway I'm hoping that we get marshmallow on this powerful device. It'll be a waste not to get it
I was wondering if the phone needs android updates in order to get new emojis
It will

Cool
Am I missing something here? These posts say nothing about the mi4c, just the mi4.

Its good to see that Android M isnt far away anymore
I hope mi4c gets marshmallow as well, it just that I haven't seen any official confirmation. Personally I'm afraid that xiaomi might not update this phone because it's not available globally.
I would also like to see kernel source released, so we won't be tied to xiaomi to release updates.

I hope very soon to solve this problem on touchscreen, here the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPC7Z2ploxc
They might jump over Marshmallow and update Android 7.
Yes, Android 6.X will be avaivable for Mi4c
