I think LineageOS official is near.... I've found interesting information about polaris
https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/topic:polaris-bringup+(status:open+OR+status:merged)
can't wait
Still early stages, not even buildable yet
Going to bring an old thread back to life. Especially with Lineage 16.0 on its way out, do we have anyone attempting to build for this phone?
I'm not sure I've ever owned a phone with this little developer support.
15.1 device tree wont be finished , we have jumped straight to 16.0.

Official support for Lineage hasn't been updated since July. I wouldn't hold your breath.
Yeah last update was August on 16.0

No, its not official. Its a treble system image. You can probably download a more updated version at the Treble-enabled device development forum.
This thread seems to be a collection of random guesses. Is there any actual source of information on the status of an official build for the Mix 2s? Surely if someone were working on it, they would post something somewhere... Not trying at all to be demanding or complain, but I would like to know if there is a reasonable chance of a release at some point.
I have until Oct. 15 to return this device. It's an outstanding phone with a PoS operating system. Without going into a big rant about miui 10, I don't want to own a phone where text messages are unreliable using anything but xiaomi's crappy (and likely invasive) messaging app.

I broke my cardinal rule with this handset: never buy hardware based upon the promise of future software updates because they may not ever happen.
I think if it was being worked on we would have heard by now. Devs just seem disinterested in the device.

The one andyphone linked above has quite a few commits since Oct. 1 (today, even). Good sign?
Los 16.0 should come eventually. Seems like a very capable developer is working on our device right now!
There may not be any official announcement yet, but you can easily see that work to bring up LineageOS for the Mix 2S is still underway here: https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_xiaomi_polaris.
The last commit to this Mix 2S-specific repository was a day ago.
Hello, I got the H2OS Open Beta 14 update a day ago and it's been a terrible experience since. Amazon, Google, Google Go, and most other apps that I use crash just after they're launched. I also saw a few people say that they face app crashes on the latest OxygenOS Open Beta but I can't confirm for sure. This issue was not present in the previous builds. What's the most hassle-free way to get out of this situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Are you a beta tester for the Google Play Services app? If yes, go back to the stable channel, update the app and see, if there's a difference. Last time I had an app crashing issue, it was exactly because of GPS, so it might be the culprit in your case too.
On other note: why H2OS?

Thank you for the quick response! I keep my GPS off most of the times and no, I'm on the stable channel already. Seems like the build has bugs (no surprise since it's beta)
And I bought my OP6 from a friend who wanted money for the 6T, he had given it to me with H2OS. I have a lot of experience with flashing, so I guess switching to OOS is the only solution here. Any good guides on it btw? Because I've heard that you can switch from Oxygen to H2 easily but the other way around is a bit messy.

Google Play Services (GPS - not Global Positioning System ;D) is a vital part of the Google ecosystem, so you can't really have it off if you're using Google apps
But yeah, since it's most probably not the app's fault, I'm not sure where the issue lays - switching to OOS might indeed be a good idea. And as @whizeguy said, the process is easy no matter what you're switching to/from.
EDIT: Actually, could you please check, if you have the newest version of Webview installed (whether or not it needs to be updated)? If it's disabled, then just ignore this, if it isn't however, and it does need an update, then update it and see, if that helps.

Hello guys,
Im new on this phone. im confused i have some question.
Some of news websites say that the Official OS 10 for OP7 series will be released this month.. what does that mean ?
now i have 10.0.1 and Beta 3 was released 2-3 days ago why ?
what are differences between 10.0.1 and 10 beta 3?
can you explain it guys ?
10.0.1 is stable...
The beta program showcases potential features and fixes that could be merged into stable.
Beta 3 is a work in progress...
For those of us who know what Beta software is, can anyone give detailed differences?
I'm getting frustrated with the Android auto bugs (resets theme every time you connect, randomly disconnects). Hoping they're fixed in beta 3?

Super helpful post here defining a beta and stable.
You really think the Op didn't know the technical differences of the 2 definitions?
Come on man, he's obviously asking about specific features. Saying this **** isn't helpful.

After having tried both the beta 3 (What I'm currently using) as well as 10.0.1 they are the same, except for a few testing features. There is a new work balance mode that randomly appears disappears in the quicksettings menu. I think it's supposed to be India only. The Android auto theme bug isn't fixed. There's also some minor crash fixes for SUPER specific situations, like what's app notification settings causing crashes. There's also a few new options with Zen mode and game mode. Mostly just experimental stuff
Starting off at version 9, the official P3 Rom thread now lists version 12...
I was under the impression that such devices usually received a max of 3 Android releases. So for P3, that would be 9, 10 and 11
I had also read elsewhere that version 11 will be the final release that Google will issue for the P3

I am not interested in the Verizon release. But there is still SP1A.210812.015 which seems to be unbranded one
Is there any reason behind Google's intention to further support the P3 into yet another Android release?

It's more of a time thing. Google typically supports devices for 3 years from their release date. The Pixel 3 was released in October 2018, so its last update is Oct 2021.
Additionally, Google avoids the fragmentation we see among other manufacturers - they use that month's AOSP for the core of the update. It so happens that October 2021 was the official release of Android 12.
But, the Pixel 3 / 3XL have been sunsetted as of that 3 year mark, so they will no longer receive any updates.
The 3a/3aXL will be supported to May of this year; the 4/4XL will be supported to October; and so on.
My Pixel 5 will no longer be supported beyond October 2023.

So those two builds of Android 12 I mentioned above (SP1A.210812.015 and SP1A.210812.016.A1) are in fact the first and last ones for P3..?
Ackward approach to have this version 12 and leave it premature. I m sure there will be some sort of issues with it

Yes, the initial release of Android 12 on the Pixel 3 /3XL is also the last update the device will ever receive. That being said, the initial 12 release is quite stable, the only bugs I found were nothing that impaired usability.
I suspect the reason why the P3 / XL got Android 12 for its final release is because of the GSI architecture on Pixel devices. Google doesn't develop multiple ROMs for multiple devices - the only thing really different are the bootloaders, baseband, drivers, and maybe kernel. Android 12 on the Pixel 6 looks and performs exactly like Android 12 on the Pixel 3. So, all Pixels get updated at the same time; the fact that the initial release of Android 12 was the final update on the P3 is more of a coincidence, really.

Excellent, thank you for the input
Way I see it, from security perspective, there isn't much of a benefit moving from latest v11 to v12 final (if its not to receive any further updates)
Perhaps someone may be tempted for a specific new feature on v12 (?), but so I far, I don't see a need for it

To each their own. I disagree on the security perspective; Android 12 introduced a lot of privacy and security features that are a major improvement over Android 11. Even if there are no further updates, that alone would be of some benefit.
Of course, for those still using the P3, there may soon come a time when custom ROMs are safer as they often incorporate the latest kernel fixes and security updates from AOSP.

Hello there new to the forum, pretty much a newb when it comes to tech talk, really..
But I am a Google Pixel 3 user, just found the news that it will no longer be supported. Asked some friends and they mentioned custom ROMs as a way around this... My old school nature finds all of this ridiculous, but it is what it is, I guess xD
In response to this, my question is when would a user like me consider switching to a custom ROM? "there may soon come a time..." ... what time might that be? When I start to see functions failing? When Android 12 updates globally but not for me?
Additionally, what would be the best resource to finding which custom ROM would fit my needs best?
Currently, my phone works great still. Hopefully I can exist for quite a while and not even think about it... but it works so good that I'd hate to go and buy a Pixel 6 when its security issues that render my device obsolete. If it means a custom ROM before $600, I'll probably take the shot.
Thanks!

When to switch depends entirely on your attitude towards monthly security updates. That would also effect what ROM you consider. Personally I switched about 4 months ago. I chose LineageOS because it reliably receives monthly security updates.
Do you have an unlockable bootloader? If not, all your questions are moot, because you must be able to unlock the bootloader to install a custom ROM.

The AT&T variant would be a phone purchased from AT&T. If you purchased it from Google, you probably have the unlockable version. If you can enable the OEM Unlocking toggle, you can unlock the bootloader. Unlocking will wipe your phone, though, so be sure to backup everything you need.

It seems that more v12 releases are coming out. So the initial assumption that the P3 will receive updated v12 builds up till OCT21, doesn't seem to be the case anymore
(although I am not complaining!)
In addition to the OCT21 rels:
SP1A.210812.015
SP1A.210812.016.A1
I can now see JAN22 / FEB22 rels:
SP1A.210812.016.A2
SP1A.210812.016.B1 (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone AU)
SP1A.210812.016.C1
After reading some positive feedback on v12, I think I will be updating to that latest version
But I want an 'unbranded' ROM. So it would make sense to go for "SP1A.210812.016.C1", right?
I really hope that if this is one of the last v12 releases for P3, it is at least as stable as my latest v11 build. It would be nice to have those extra privacy features, but stability on that phone is no1 prio...

As I stated previously, Google only committed to 3 years of software updates on most of the Pixel line. The October '21 update was the end of the update agreement for the 3 / 3XL. Interesting that there are January and February releases too.
The 3a and 3aXL will be sunsetted in May of this year.
My Pixel 5 will receive its last update on Oct '23, and my wife's 5a will be supported up to Aug '24.
Software updates on Pixel devices
That being said, Pixel devices use AOSP, so it wouldn't be hard for someone to build updated firmware for the Pixels using the latest AOSP release. Google even makes the driver binaries available. The only caveat to this is that TWRP often doesn't keep up with the newer devices, so the update would have to be in the same format as either an OTA file, or factory image.

Then maybe there was something important on the OCT21 release that needed to be fixed? No idea. I wonder if that FEB22 release is going to be the final one (in which case I d rather wait a bit longer)
Just curious about those:
SP1A.210812.016.B1 (Telstra, Optus, Vodafone AU)
SP1A.210812.016.C1
Aren't all those releases supposed to be 'brand-less' (i.e. not associated with any provider)? So what's with that Telstra/Optus/Vodafone AU sidenote on that release?
Am I right in thinking that at the moment, "SP1A.210812.016.C1" is the one to go for? I m only interested in having a retail ROM - just as if I bought the device directly from Google..

Baseband fixes, most likely. Bootloader, kernel and system are the same; usually the only difference is the baseband.

Sorry to bother again - but do you by any chance know where I can find Rel notes for those releases
I would like to see what the changes are e.g. from SP1A.210812.016.A2 to SP1A.210812.016.C1

These are general topics across the board and not device specific so I have no idea what is different in the P3 updates. This article provides more information, looks like it's mainly a security update and bug fixes.

Are those not supposed to be releases to public? (only for Devs?)

No, they're intentional, the February update apparently includes fixes that were supposed to be rolled out in your last "official" update in November '21

According to that source, that FEB22 update, is almost certainly the last for P3 + P3 XL
And as it turns out, my initial assumption about a major bug fix was actually true - it was the 911 calling issue (which due to life critical scenarios) was handled with priority
So it would seem that SP1A.210812.016.C1 is the one to go for P3. No need to wait further, as there won't be any more rels. From what I also read on Reddit, v12, despite only being introduced for P3, is decent enough. No major bugs so far. So I guess it is stable
For this device that I need it for, stabi is more important than security. Don't know if that changes anything or whether I should not move to v12..
