Kitkat With Latest Security Patches? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to apply the latest security patches to older Android versions, such as Kitkat?

I'm 99,99% there isn't any way to do that. KitKat is history, it's sad but true. KitKat was the best OS for the Nexus 5, but we have to let it go. Nougat already looks pretty good.

Man, do not contribute if you haven't got some knowledge
Yes, it's possible that you want but I haven't got time for work on it
For example, there are a developer that works on a cm11 rom with last security patches in Nexus 4 forum

My bad, sorry.

I'd love to see up-to-date KitKat too ))

It is very possible to get the latest security patches merged into 4.4.4 Kitkat. That is exactly what a dev did for an older Samsung phone that isn't capable of running 5.0 and later. My question to you is - what is the point of running 4.4.4 instead of 6.0.1 or even 7.0? I flashed back to Kitkat and tried it out, and I could notice no difference in performance and battery life in my day to day use. What I did notice was a lack of functionality that I was used to (such as denying permissions). I quickly switched back to a 7.0 build off of XDA.

Hey, look what I've found, it's CM11 with latest security patches https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=64080

CM11S OTA for Android 4.4.4 ?

Hi guys,
what you think about possibility of an OTA for CM11S, to upgrade Android version to 4.4.4 ?
Do you think it will be?
Regards.

Being honest I'm surprised it wasn't launched on 4.4.4 so I'd imagine we'll get there eventually

Yes, that's it....i'm surprised too!!
That's why i'm asking you guys!!
Android 4.4.4 exists for a long time, and i don't understand why CM11S don´t have it, even CM11 for OnePlus works in Android 4.4.4, but CM11S(dedicated ROM) not.
Thank you, for your reply!
We all are waiting for next CM11S OTA Update....
They announced another update for this week or next

Still not OTA update for Android 4.4.4....that's what we are talking about...
But it seems it is on it's way to get it.
About normal CM 11 nightlys, yes, already rolls with Android 4.4.4, but for sure you lose some features dedicated to OnePlus One, developed in CM11S, like Camera features.
So, i think it's better to wait for new CM11S OTA.

Lets be honest your asking in xda has anyone play with nightlies... come on now 95% of the people in here are running a custom rom. Waiting for a company to update your phone when there are capable developers here making your phone better to me is a waste of time. Root and upgrade your phone at your leisure and enjoy. Here is the changelog from 4.4.3 and 4.4.4
whatever is lost from 11S can be obtained just by searching this forum and nightlies of course will have more upldated options

Camera, lockscreen and kernel from CM11S can all be implemented back into nightlies
as far as version 4.4.4 of android is an openssl fix which is already present in cm11s. its nothing but a number at this point. but there will be an ota update soon. my guess is by wednesday if they keep doing updates on a monthly schedule.

More than anything, they need to merge the latest CM M9 improvements into this next OTA. I don't even know if the current software is based on M8 or not.

No and this information is out there may I suggest some research. Please research before rooting as well so you know what you are getting into and know all your risks.
Plus any OTA will have a zip in the forum anyways. Plus they are on 4.4.2 we are all on 4.4.4 with Android L rom in the works. Be ahead of the curve root your phone and flash new CM

this phone is just released this phone must get lollypop update. that is why i bought this phone.
this phone has z3 looks so if z3 getting lollypop this will also get. but problem is we are not running 4.4.4 so that mean it is a bit difficult to tell next update will be 4.4.3 or 5.0.

Really, but what makes me sick about Sony is the very bad support!
I got a time ago a Xperia L and it was updated only of 4.1 to 4.2.2, fortunately i got non-official 4.4
My last Sony was a Xperia M and same thing happened, XM stuck on 4.3, iven it's launch was in time to get official kitkat update from Sony.
Now i'm with my XE3 waiting for the Lollipop update, maybe Sony disappoint me again?
Android 5.0 (Lollipop) is the most agressive change on the android plataform, the new runtime ART give us a lot of free RAM and battery life. I want it!

we know the 'bad-support' of sony on updating, but I think the E3 should have got at least 1 major update, such as previous device. just take last year low end as example, such as E1 which jumped from 4.3 to 4.4 or M from 4.1/4.2 to 4.3. So the good may be we'll have 5.0 update, yet the worst we only have 4.4.4 update. But unofficial update surely will come, as S400 is really popular.

This device is in supported devices list of lollypop and even sony knows that and after aosp is released making lollypop update is become easier for sony and this device is famous for it,s z3 look and without lollypop it won,t look alike z3. They have to update it.

No, since there isn't a KitKat version of EMUI for the Honor 8, that means no kernel and no proprietary blobs.
Isn't that a bit of a downgrade?
Honor 8 will start on CM12.1 Why downgrade?

Emui 4.1 is Marshmallow, so it should be CM13, CM12.1 is Lollipop.
stock rom runs on marshmallow, then why downgrade
it would be mice if it gets cm13/cm14
It will probably get cm13, huawei semms commited to opening up the source code and blobs for devs. So it might take a little while but it should get cm13 and later cm14 too.

TurboPower mod requires update?

Just got the TurboPower Moto Mod that has 3490 mAh, and has it's own charge port.
Connect to phone and it says "Phone update required - your Moto Mod won't work without the latest phone software."
??
I am on Android 7.0. I have not read anything that says a newer version is required. I don't really want to update to 7.1 (don't care for the icons, for one thing, and last upgrade was a hassle). I am rooted.
Any ideas??
UPDATE: Now my Incipio Moto Mod gives me the same error when I attach it, where yesterday it was working fine. Crap!
I had the same problem a few days ago I bought Moto Z and I had an android 6 and it did not show me a newer update so my TurboPower did not want to work. I entered the Google Play Store and updated existing applications that did not update automatically and one of the systems that did not have an icon in the launcher unlocked me updating the android. I now have android 7.1.1 and full working turbo baterry mod
Sorry my english. Translator.

No, it's far more than just the app itself.
The newer Mod Manager should be available in the latest stock 7.1.1 but it's also implemented into custom roms, even Oreo ones.

Well, we got to custom Oreo roms by flashing them over 7.1 based ones.
You just need the latest TWRP and you can flash both 7.1.1 roms and Oreo roms in any order you like ( you can freely downgrade from an Oreo custom rom to a stock /custom 7.1 one but I doubt you'll want to do that ) .
Awesome news thanks. Found an incipio off grid locally but costs around 90 us dollars converted... Close to 100 actually. Would rather go directly to the turbopower since it's supported anyway.
So the TurboPower Pack will only work if you are on 7.1.1? I am on 7.0, Moto Mod app is updated, but TuboPower Pack says "Phone update required. Your Moto Mod won't work without the latest phone software. Check for update.”When I click that, it says "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later” Unable to determine which update it is talking about.

I believe it's a bit of chicken and eggs. I think the latest Moto Mod app requires 7.1.1, so you're not seeing the latest version because you're still on 7.1.1. Update to 7.1.1 and then you should be able to update the Moto Mod app.

Please use english as it´s the required language on XDA. You can use your native language too but the post has to be also in english, google translate is enough.
About your question: Lenovo/Motorola never predict ETA of new OS versions so it´s coming when it´s coming. I don´t think February is a probable date, it will last longer imho.

Once Motorola was one of the fastest maintainers for OS updates (when they we're owned by Google, no wonder). Nowadays (since under the roof of Lenovo) they are slow in releasing updates even security patches. They don't announce anything, it's coming when it's coming.
It's a shame that the Moto G8 power ships with android 10 and the 8+ only with Pie. I consider to buy a 8+ but the development here seems to be very low, just one unofficial TWRP appeared 2 days ago so I'm about to buy another device which is in active development like the Xiaomi Mi9 T.

There is a new Security Update, which I'm installing right now.
Maybe that means they still try to provide support to the G8 Plus as long as they work on the Android 10 version at least I hope so

No and yes. No there are no updates released, all sources that say Android 10 was released in Brazil and Spain are false for the moment. Yes there is a guy with a soak test, but that is confidential.
