How are We supposed to know? If you are not going to build them yourself, nobody will (at the moment). It will happen like with the Honor 4C, Honor 7, Huawei P8 Lite, etc...

It's being worked on!

Moto G4 Plus IS getting Android O.

As you may know, Google has announced the dev preview of Android O: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/03/first-preview-of-android-o.html .
When the G4 Plus was announced, it was confirmed to have an Android O update. I just thought I would bring this back up. Now we just need to see if Lenovo will keep their promise, and how long we will have to wait after O is released. :good:

Most haven't even gotten nougat yet can't wait to see this

You maaaybe will see O by July of 2018. Maaaybe.
Anyway, I'm still kinda excited to see if we'll get a port of the preview here on XDA, fingers crossed!

Or, maybe (and I use this lightly) they'll skip N altogether and jump us on O straight out. (One can only dream...)

If that really is your dream, just skip nougat when it's released and wait for oranges.

By then, I'd be on a different phone all together...

The truth, with Lenovo I do not expect the update, it's like Samsung, it will launch when they remember the G4 Plus

Moto G4 didn't even get 7.1... Moto G5 probably won't get O either.

If the Moto G4 gets O, I don't think it will be fromLenovo, at least in the US. Maybe from one of the fantastic developers on XDA (which is how I got Nougat).

Dude do you even read the BS you are linking to? That link clearly states this poster is leaked. If you reverse search the image all you get is a bunch of sketchy android websites all quoting each other. Not a single one connects the poster directly to motorola. So, again, I challenge you to do that and find verifiable information directly from Motorola that the G4 will be updated to O.

That poster is absolutely real. I have it in physical because it came with my G4 plus and it was also being used as promotion in the store where Lenovo staff where working. So yes, the "BS" you are arguing is fake it's actually real. You should consider informing yourself first before being rude to a person who actually has some proof, and also read the XDA guidelines where it says you have to be polite and nice with others around here. If you want more proof I can show a photo of the poster. Good night.

Meanwhile some days back I had a bit of chat with the moto care and according to this operator, athene (xt1643) will get N 7.1 which will fix the problems users face with N 7.0 it'll be good if it happens and we have the 7.1 ROMs already.

So all this bluster and you don't even bother to post your "proof"? Let's see it. And while you are at it let's see some evidence that the poster was actually produced by Motorola and Motorola has officially announced the G4 will get O.

Huawei EMUI 5.1 Update – Eligible Devices, Release Date

According to Huawei, the Honor 8, Honor 6X, Honor 5C, and Huawei P9 will get EMUI 5.1 update by May end this year. See full story here ?? http://huaweiadvices.com/huawei-emui-5-1-update-eligible-devices-release-date/

I doubt it will roll at the end of this month. Everyday Im checking Early access in HiCare, and there where no any beta test available, not even mentions about it.
There is no way that Huawei would just like that publish next big update without proper test, like we had with 5.0
True that Huawei is not best at rolling updates, but still when you compare it to ther OEMs its no difference at all, and all other companies have test before publishing major updates, and because they are region dependent, we should saw at least few roms based on 5.1 roam around forum from Asia or Europe.

Well this news is from the Official Huawei site so we should be expecting these roll outs as scheduled. May be not OTA as it will have delays but on the Firmware Finder App.

I guess nothing we can do but wait for it to come. Hopefully this news is legit...

Why test, if base is still 7.0.

Dont get me wrong but this is some retarded reasoning you have here....
Why test at all if its still Android? Why test if its still a phone? Why test if most of people buy new phone after 2years? Why test if 90% of people that use android, dont even know what screen resolution their phone have?
maybe because EMUI 5.1 have few new features that affect user experience? Maybe because they fix/make new bugs when implementing those features?
Jesus Christ its like explaining that water is wet, sun is shining and wind is blowing...

@Akinaro, let me say this.
They have P10 to test all things and just backport to P9, so they tested it since last november. If we clearly look, they only changed code of 5.0 and added the features to it. Its not a major update from google, just one from huaweis side, that only changed their own code.
Bugs can be everywhere, look on latest B383 and B386. We can also think, if they allready testing some code in this builds.
The EVA-L19C185B387 got allready something of that, a new kernel build 5.0.0.3, as SP1 marked, so they doing and mostly ditched to release official builds on 5.0 to work on 5.1.

You just prove my point....
they only changed code of 5.0 and added the features to it

You just said what I said: they added features that need to be tested, because they changed code of 5.0...
And no one will more than few brain cells would test new ROM on never devices and then backport it straight to older model... you realize how it sound?

What the point? Just because it was not google update it doesnt require testing? Seriously?
And even if they ditched 5.0 and jumped to 5.1 it doesnt change anything, if you, as you self mentioned, changed code and added new features that really can affect user experience(for example new memory management ) It doesnt need proper testing like any other update?
My point is still valid: saying that new update doesnt need testing is just retarded.

What is the point of this discussion?

that this update would need beta testing just like any other rom, and overall is rather not possible that Huawei would release globally that update for P9 before end of this month.
On the side not part of this discussion what about seriously useless reasoning of dkionline that say "just because its based on android 7 i doesnt need testing".
Such thinking need to be pointed out as stupid, if someone like it or not.

I prefer facts than some internet pseudo respect. And if we fallow facts and general reasoning, you cant say anything wrong about what I was talking about. Because show me one think that I said wrong?
Its not my fault that some people have such problems with writing full sentence with proper reasoning behind their opinion.

Nope, Im not tired of my self. And my parents taught me to not mention "parents" in conversation like some sort of kid in school that dont have anything important to say, so he say something about parents or one of many stupid "mother" joke.... just like you did....
And yes, I really like discussion!
Discussion actually create our world, without it we would have nothing. Even from most trivial or offensive discussions you can get amazing thing that change to amazing inventions or ideas. Whole point of discussion is two people where one say "yes" and other say "no" and after some time they all agree about something.... not mention their own parents, its really childish.
Also its worth mention that my actual discussion ended after only two post... but then YOU showed up and had to put your few cents inside... why? maybe you could kindly say us why you had to join it if everything was said already?
Because I have tip for you: if you dont like someone opinion... you dont pay attention to it... you just move on. No one force you to push yourself between two other people discussion and say something that just make more chaos.
Also small note: if you really are so "pro respect" you would end that discussion right now, and we all stop here, and move to actual topic, if you want to add something else about it, or about my parents, feel free to use Personal Messages, I will be happy to replay to it

Ok

lol,
They will test it on internal stage in china like they do now on M9. Theres allready much devices with emui 5.1, so their system itself working propably, only the kernel is the reason, nothing more or less.
Mate, you get any betatest from emui4 to 4.1 or 4.1 to 4.1.1 or anything else? No, they release it after its done.

This would break their trust and besides that it may have side effects in the long term we are not aware of, they may need to finalize the firmware before rolling it out.

Look I was unoptimistic as well, but this has been fixed before with this exact same method on another device I owned myself, so it can be fixed.
The thing is Xiaomi hasn't ever provided feedback on this issue, that's why everyone, me included, thought this wouldn't get fixed.
Now that we have video evidence I'm confident this will be resolved as well.
P. S. if you're baiting, it's a hell of a bad one fyi.

Well since a dev managed to find a fix I'd think this would be included in the next beta or two, and most likely in the next stable as well.
(if no side effects are found that is)
I understand your frustration, but don't tell me about it, since this annoyed me so much that I refunded my phone just for this, and use a redmi note 3, my backup phone, for the time being.

Not gonna bother explaining what kind of lag is the one you refering vs the real issue this device has.

Enjoy.

Ugh, I'm sick of them talking and throwing empty promises at us, just implement the fix and be done with it already... Anyway, the guy who received the fix said it didn't work with the latest Pie beta so they will have to rework it for new updates if they really plan on releasing it at all.

It's obviously a question, I have no reason to advertise their services.
I, like most on this site, always like to have the latest and greatest Rom available and when I saw their tweet, I got really interested in what's new but can't see the changelog anywhere.
Like I said, I'm updating tomorrow morning but by your response, maybe I should keep the feedback to myself.

If it is a question, maybe it belongs in the Questions section. Guides, News, & Discussion is more for posting a public link of say the latest rom (which would sit in Roms & Development) while listing out what the new features are and discussing those said features.

It's obviously a question, I have no reason to advertise their services.
I, like most on this site, always like to have the latest and greatest Rom available and when I saw their tweet, I got really interested in what's new but can't see the changelog anywhere.
Like I said, I'm updating tomorrow morning but by your response, maybe I should keep the feedback to myself.

Did anyone update yet or does anyone have the changelog?
I won't be able to update until tomorrow morning but was curious about what's new.

I'll get an update tonight and try to grab the changelog.
As well as the ramdisk from .184 for updated root.

People still pay for this service?

Where is the update?
Can't find it on funkeyhuawei site....

Its sad, but i think people do and when they do this, people will sell it instead... Greedy world, reminds me of Apple.

Misc section.

Why would you pay soneone to get something that ahould free. It's highly suspicious anyway that XDA is shilling their services . The new Rom is already available via ota, if not then just wait a little bit.
XDA and funky Huawei could easily just leak the tools server side tools and roms, make everything public as it's supposed to be.. but instead they choose ......
I wouldn't be surprised if some mod ban me for speaking the truth ..

Why are you prompting such a paid service that goes against all principles of the android open community? Not meant as an insult, just a legitimate question.
They ask 66 USD for unlock codes that can be obtained 75% cheaper for example, how fair is that to the community? Or charge money for an update that should be free. It's 2019 com on bro.

I didn't pay for the unlock code from them. I paid 22$ for that. It's 55USD for an unlock code for me from Funky.
Updates should be free. Yes. But when I'm working with 3 other guys trying to get the AL00 to as close to a L29 as possible I update, and provide files, libs and props. So the credits come for me at a fraction of the cost.
I have even stated in telegram, that once credits run out, I will not buy anymore

Ok bro

@duraaraa - EVR-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.184 is showing getting package info failed on my EVR-L29. Is this the correct file? Have DNS set and have used Funky before, so not sure what the issue is.

Update worked for me but there's no info in the changelog and the only changes I've noticed so far are the Security Patch is January 1, 2019 and the camera has a Super Macro option.
The biggest issue for me so far is that although the update itself didn't factory reset the phone, the bootloader got locked during the update so I had to unlock it again which prompted a factory reset.
I had to use the unlock code again so I'm glad I saved it.
Also, have not been able to install the patched recovery_ramdisk yet. Getting an error when trying to boot holding Vol+.
Can't say it's been the smoothest update and had I known of the issues, I wouldn't have done it

I've seen this news from one telegram channel that update with January security patch locks the bootloader forever and blocks downgrading to older firmware. How true is that??
