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

Hi guys,
Since we saw Android 4.4 launch today we heard Sundar Pichai Saying "It will support devices with minimum of 512MB RAM" I think we can hope our HTC One S will be directly updated to Android 4.4. Since this "Once Flagship" device meets every requirement for Getting Kitkat treatment can anyone tell me whether our One S will be updated to Android 4.4???

No. It has been discontinued, get over it. Also One S wasn't even a flagship.
4.4 wasn't made to support older devices, it's so the low-end devices won't lag so much.

Yeah. I don't think there's any phone that will get updated with the lower requirements of KitKat.

These new "lower requirements" will pretty much just be for all phones moving forward, large and small. From this point on, all phones of any speed and power will be able to be released with the same software. But I don't see any of the major players suddenly deciding that now is a good time to dust off their old models and suddenly provide an update for it.
we WILL get kitkat, one way or another
It probably HAS a good chance since HTC announced the day after release it will roll out 4.4 kitkat over the next 90 days. It will be ported to a new rom i'm sure.

But there has been no confirmation from HTC that it wont serve us KITKAT right? And they ve even discontinued Sense5 update so being a new and affordable update i think it will make them rethink their decisions

They never gave support on 4.2+ to the One S, and never will. If you manage to convince them let me know.
I'm not trying to sound harsh but no one should get their hopes up so high and then be disappointed when there's no update.
If HTC will update the One XL to 4.4 we'll probably get a working porting of the Sense 5.5.
But we'll also get some 4.4 AOSP ROMs...thats sure...

Hi All.
I went from Mate 7 to P8max and can't really notice any difference in the roms and I was upset that Mate 7 never got an update to 5.11. Very excited to get p8max to find there is no real difference. I have watched a few videos of the differences up to 5.11 and it is quite a lot like better dual sim handling, seems to gone on the p8max. It's like Huawei wiped all the good stuff and skinned the whole phone with there own crap.
What are other peoples thoughts, is there a way to remove the Huawei skinning?

I guess we are going to have to wait for some developers to jump on board, I would love this phone In a nice clean AOSP rom but I dont think that ever going to happen.
I have for the most part installed all my normal google apps and launcher to at least get it to somewhere normal for my taste (coming from nexus 6)

You should have some patience.
CyanogenMod team provided device specs for the mate 2 & the Nexus 6P will be built by Huawei, so the source code will definitely have something in common with the p8.
It should be available next week once the Nexus announcement is made.

The Nexus 6P is running snapdragon so that's not usable for us. We need at least source code from one device that's running the same cpu and similar spec in order to even start to build the device tree.

Since it's being released in a couple days, is it possible we will get the source code to build for OnePlus?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA Free mobile app
it is possible, but i don't know what will happened
From the official sources, no clue. From ROM devs, I'd say give it a month once source code drops. Cyanogenmod already built for this device, I mean look at the back of the phone, so I'm sure they will support us for at least 2 more android versions. My very first android phone the Droid Incredible came out in 2010 and for rom support from devs all the way up to 4.4.4, so I'd say pretty dang high from rom devs. Helps also that we have a simple bootloader unlock, which makes devs even more inclined to work on the device. Based on my past device experience, we'll get at least 3 more major versions, 6.0 included, maybe more. By then, your battery will be useless, and you'll have moved on, which is awesome.

CM are only obligated to support this device until April next year, so Marshmallow will be the last official version we get. They're contracted for 24 months from the time of release and they'll drop this device like a hot potato the first chance they get.

While I'd like to agree with you, that's in regards to business, we will see 6.0 for that reason alone. I was more referring to the fact that we still see updates on the nexus 4 up to 5.1 and the fact that open popular devices seem to get much longer support. Wasn't trying to disagree with you at all in that respect. I'm not that likes to hang onto their old devices, or sell them to friends, so I have seen how amazing that support can be even for older devices. My TF101 tablet is still rocking, and running 5.1.1 it's smoother than it's ever been. Don't think that'll see 6.0, but I didn't expect it to make it to 5.0. It all comes down to "We'll see how long it gets supported, but don't demand anything past 6.0" even though historically, we should get 3 more major versions if it follows most devices paths when it comes to rom support. That boing said, I'll be flashing 6.0 as soon as we get a rom that can multiboot!

There's no doubt we'll see the next version after Marshmallow on this phone, but I can guarantee you it won't be in the form of official updates via Cyanogen Inc, it'll be in the form of community developed ROMs via CyanogenMod. If you meant CyanogenMod and not Cyanogen Inc then I misunderstood you.
I just meant Roms in general

Rom developers are really fast, i would say 1 week after we get the source there will be a alpha version. Cyanogen13 will take at least months.

Sounds good to me! We have great devs here! Hopefully they don't leave for the Nexus phones, they really aren't worth the $ in my opinion. 808 and 810 have too many problems. I got the Moto X Pure and had that for 2 weeks and even the 808 had terrible heating issues. This years chipsets by Qualcomm are just terrible. Not to mention even now, 3 weeks in they have no dev support and Motorola (now Lenovo) is very shady company.

Moto E: cheap budget phone that I think people only bought as a placeholder when they broke a phone or something else happened, it's not a flagship. nobody bought it to use for 2+ years and I don't think it was intended as such.
Moto x: did you see that the pure is getting updated? That means it was the carriers decision, not Motorola's. Also, it's easy to convert the att/Verizon version to the pure version and then you'll get the update fine.

As soon as Lenovo brought out Pure they let go about 500 Motorola employees, many who were in the dev department... They are giving people hard times about returns saying it will take 6-8 weeks to get their money back on an overnight return label. The pure QC is piss poor, if you go to their forums, their most popular thread is about returning the phone... This clearly isn't the same Motorola we used to love. I'm not big on OnePlus either, I only came back here, because at least I know my OnePlus works, I'll never buy from them again though, that's for sure.

Any developers here would do it if it was somwhat posibile but Samsung doesn't release the source code of Exynos so it's somewhat impossibile. It's like you need to build a town with buildings but you don't have a map of pipes to see here you need to put it...
Developers need to write all the drivers and with guessing what where it goes and really is impossibile.
My Moto G 2013 will get CM 14 beacuse Motorola released the source code for Android 5.1 and they have a starting point. Here we have nothing.
Not going to happen. We'll see it in roughly six months.... Oh well... Samsung supports their devices like one time phones. Only sales matters no support. They have let their customers down so many times now...
I'm afraid that they'll make some patch and security update of Android 6 for S7/Edge sooner. But let's hope that they'll push hard for Note 7 and some king will port it on S7.
I'd start hunt for it. I feel free to give 20 USD donate for stable (almost) clean Android 7 ROM

Im sure the international phones will get it this year, carrier phones will get it next year heh
As Eurofighter_ty said above, there will be no "porting" of Android N (or any other non-Touchwiz ROM like CyanogenMod) to a Samsung device with an Exynos SoC due to proprietary sources that Samsung will not release. There are exceptions where an extremely talented and motivated dev takes the time to reverse engineer drivers.
If history serves, it will be several months before Samsung starts rolling Nougat out, newest and most important devices first (N7, S7, S7E...). These are things to know before buying any Samsung device.
Maybe, i should just wait for S8 then XD

I would agree, I've seen major android updates in the past where its been like a step backwards and so it only leads to disappointment. Hopefully we are at a stage with android where this update (6 to 7) is more of a polishing of the current OS. Yes I know there are some additional features but its not a major overhaul as we've had in the past. I think most people would mostly appreciate some better consistency with battery life, Im not saying mine isnt good but there still seems to be a high android OS usage,so hopefully the enhanced doze feature tackles this, but we'll see. The one benefit of not getting the update right now is that over the next few months hopefully a lot of issues will be ironed out, for instance app compatibility. There are almost always cases where "I've just upgraded but now XXXX app doesnt work??" and you have to wait for the dev to update so their app so that it works nicely with the latest release.
Some of the Android N features are already in the S7. Multi window for example. Or Android for Work which overlaps with Knox. Other stuff is nice but only for new devices, like the seamless updates. The new JIT may be an exception, and the new graphics subsystem would also be nice.
About the VR stuff: I double Samsung will enable it for the Gear VR but we can of course hope.
Expect to have android N next year around April or May

If we're now running EMUI 5 on our Honor 8's, is there a way of getting Google Assistant on there now?
Or is it a case of rooting and changing the Build Prop file, like I did on my old Samsung Note 3 that I flashed with an unofficial CyanogenMod 14.1 build to 7.1? I know that will screw up my warranty, and seeing as I've only had the phone 3 weeks, I'll wait...

I'm sure all those things will come to us if we just wait.
I'm not going to root and mess about with this phone. It will be the first time !
As we're getting 2 years worth of updates then I'm sure we will get all that there is available.
I am in the beta group for Android N and I got it this morning and I'm really impressed !
It totally changed the phone.
My flat mate has the pixel and since I have downloaded this latest update our honor 8 is looking better and running better than the pixel by a long way.
I have been using the two side by side and there is no way I would swap.
So in my option it's best to keep the phone as it is till the updates stop then root it.
Only my opinion !

Yeah, I agree with you. No point rushing off and causing issues with my warranty just yet. I waited 2 years before I even started flashing my old Note 3 after all, and that's only because it was stuck with Lollipop, despite being up the task of running the newer releases of Android. It's good that Huawei / Honor are allowing at least 2 years of updates to be released to their phones.
I'm gonna wait (somewhat impatiently). Google say that the Assistant will be a Pixel exclusive, but we all now they will "share the love" eventually (just so it helps them with data mining etc)..

You sound like a sensible man. I think we have a great phone and ROM to go with it.
I'm lucky that I have other phones to play with to fill my rooting needs !!
I have a S3 that I'm just flashing CM14.1 so I really have no need to mess about with this one.
I'm so impressed with this phone !!!
We made a good choice and with 4GB ram to play with I dint think we have seen even half of what they can do with it.
