Will there be an Android 8.0 update for the Lenovo P2? - Lenovo P2 Guides, News, & Discussion

Heard that there won't be an official 8.0 update.
So I wonder will there be a third party 8.X rom.

I think it is strongly believed that we won't get android O. I hope we get at least anothet update for 7.1 official
And for custom roms we have our own dev now so that depends upon him

Stock is stable enough already and Lenovo has more updates for this year and next year, this device is still new.
After that time whether it's before or after the end of life of this device via Lenovo... eventually the Dev will come around... Hakuna Matata/No Worries... :highfive:

I just really hope Lenovo release an update which enable Galileo since the phone supports it, it could be added in a custom ROM but that would likely be very hard to do without there being sources in the stock ROM.

I would be surprised by that. As Galileo use requires licensing and the P2 is considered a mid-tier or even now that the price dropped a budget phone. I doubt Lenovo would have bothered to pay licensing fee's to add to the total cost of "bill of materials".
But please proof me wrong.
Please point me to the official statement from Lenovo that the P2 supports Galileo. OR Some fundamental technical proof of a whitepaper that the chip which is inbuild in the P2 actually supports Galileo.

Galileo eligible devices and chipsets lists.
No Lenovo P2, but there's mention of Snapdragon 625.

Thanks for the findings.
So in short. For us to get Galileo (GNSS) we would require Lenovo to include GPS blobs which include GNSS support in any of the future updates.
Until then. No Support for Galileo on the Lenovo P2.

Maybe due to cyanogen shutdown and 801 is too old.
But it doesn't matter anyway.Believe we will not run out of custom roms or developers at any cost.

Yes, I am also positive that we are still able to use the nougat ROM, anyways after googling I found out the reason why Nougat wont be supported, Actually Qualcomm and Google both are responsible for this, Qualcomm wont add support for OpenGLS 3.1 and above on SOC 800/801 and which means support for the Vulkan Graphics API will not be available which is required for a device to pass Google’s CTS.
Here follow the link : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-one-android-nougat-7-0-support.460959/
I am sad that we dont have official support but again happy that there are devs who are working hard to provide unofficial support for Oneplus One.

How come xperia z3(801) got N update then?
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-n-developer-preview-available-for-sony-xperia-z3/
Maybe it depends more on OEM itself.

I am also confused, If xperia z3 got a preview update then I would like to know if it got support for Valkaun Graphics.
Hardware wise majorly both the devices are similar : http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=6327&idPhone2=6539
Will need to check Z3 forums
EDIT : Even Samsung S5 is getting the official VoLTE update....
"The bottom line is this: there is no technical reason why the Snapdragon 800/801 can't run Nougat. The lack of Android 7.0 is more likely due to Google's requirement for high speed encryption."

Sm-j327p and sm-j327r7

SamMobile has Android 8.1.0 listed for J327R7 but I can't find any info on if it is the same device as J327P (Boost/Sprint) apart from this store (scroll down and go to tech specs) but idk if it's any reliable. It says the same specs as boost (sd425 + all other specs). Someone please confirm or check if this rom will work on the J327P because I'm really getting tired of 6.0.
The J327(P/T/T1) model was supposed to get Android Oreo on September 2018, since it even got certified in the Wi-Fi Alliance with 8.0. Maybe it got cancel or delayed.
All of the J327(V/VPP/R7/R6/R4/U/W/A) version got updated to Android 8.0/8.1.0 to users.

Also don't flash the J327R7 firmware with J327P model it will brick your device.

R7 firmware wont flash on P devices unless you can change the PRODUCT NAME and only service centers have that capability.

You keep posting in different threads hoping for a different answer. Search the original Firehose thread, I asked that question specifically. One person claimed to have success with a Sprint V50, but that's it. Are you going to take the risk based on one anecdotal successful data point? I'm sure not!

Yes, when you connect it to an hdmi usb-c adapter, it goes first into extended desktop, but you can change it through the slide down taskbar option. You can switch there between extended desktop mode and screen clone.
Only a few phones offer the possibility to use an HDMI adapter. Works on LG Wing, LG Velvet, LG V50S (and possibly V50, but can't test it since I don't own this one). Blackberry Key2, and possibly Keyone also offers you the same ability.
Too bad LG leaves the mobile business, they where finally starting to have very interesting phone with real useful specs. Folding devices with dual screens are the best and easiest way to go. And I have had some, since the Sony P tablet (probably the best, but no long term support / update, probably because it wasn't built by their mobile division) and ZTE axon M (same bad update support) being part of my favourites.
At least LG should give a longer support, about three years if you believe what they said.

Dude, for the last time, telegram != xda. You cannot post telegram info here as if the two sync together seamlessly. They are separate stovepipes of development with no crossover. Developers go there because they don't want to follow the xda rules as overbearing as they may be. Until that information is shared and approved at xda it's considered illegitimate.

My dad's Samsung Galaxy M20 got android 10 today and that is not even Android One. F**k Xiaomi.

They kinda have to, because the phone's in AndroidOne program and these phones are promised 2 years of OS upgprades and 3 years of security updates. Those news are the same source as the one shared in this forum and it's all coming from 1 Xiaomi support dude. So take it with a grain of salt, the same support told us that Android 10 would be released in October for our phone lol.
Xiaomi support also told that we get Android 10 at the end of December. IDK why ppl can't stop with these fake news. Just use custom ROMs untill they release Android 10. Eventually they will have to sort it out or they break their deal with Google and the consumers which will have it's consequences...

Anyone working on development (DT and vendor)?

Is there anyone working on making device trees/common and extracting vendor?
The development is so slow, i did not expect this at all, the phone being from xiaomi and the snapdragon processor and all.
I know bootloader unlock is a issue but still....
I bought the phone in the very first sale, its been so many days but i haven't even migrated my data from old to new phone due to the fear of having to erase it all after flashing xiaomi.eu rom, which i am waiting for eagerly and have no clue for at all when it will be available (specifically for poco x2, not k30).

Without bootloader unlock you cannot do any development. For any development to start we need to test it on device which requires unlocked bootloader once this unlocking issue is sorted development will start on its own pace

Is this bootloader unlocking issue new? Because I used many redmi note series devices and they have a great development going on.
My question is that this issue started in New devices released by Xiaomi recently?
