[Discussion] Port(android 9.0) from snapdragon to Exynos - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion

As we all know there are Alpha Builds for the Samsung Experience 10/ Android 9 leaked for the Snapdragon S9/S9+/Note9 and it is well rumoured that an alpha build wont be available for exynos devices until the Official Beta by Samsung is released.
This discussion is opened to discuss about the possibile chances to port the builds available for the snapdragon devices to the Exynos devices.
The Alpha builds are posted and dicussed on this XDA thread for the SNAPDRAGONS -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/official-s9-pie-t3844616/page78
So far there has been many alpha builds released and the latest one seems to work a lot better than the previous builds ( thats how it should be lol ) .

Let's just say it will take much longer than the wait for the beta to port pie from one chip to another
Several waits for several betas possibly (unless treble has helped in any way)

I have it ported to my s9 plus through Xfinity mobile!

Your Xfinity mobile is a snap dragon device. OP is talking about exynos version. Waiting for official beta will probably be faster.

Thanks for this good news. Do you know if the Galaxy S7 will soon get this new interface (with android 7.1.1 for example), or if we have to wait for the android O update ?

You're welcome. I also asked them few days ago will S7 get 7 1.1 Nougat and they told me: "YES. BUT WE ARE NOT SURE WHEN". I hope that they will bring it with 7.1.1. Also they didn't say with what version will S7 get new UI. If I find out I will let you know.

Google is set to release the next iteration of its Android OS Android O on 21 August which is the day of the US total solar eclipse. While we are just a day away from the launch, most of the smartphone manufacturers are now gearing up to provide the new update to their recently launched smartphones. As such, one of the top brands Samsung is also preparing for the update and is looking forward to providing Android O for its smartphones with its Grace UI on top which will be better optimized to run the software smoothly. While the company has been a bit slow in providing updates, hopefully, this time Samsung rolls out the update at a much faster pace.
Looking at Nougat, Samsung got the first updates out to the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge in China and the UK 143 days after Google released Android 7.0. The update took a grand total of 180 days to reach US shores, landing first on T-Mobile, followed by AT&T the day after and Sprint two days after that. Verizon hobbled across the finish line a couple of weeks later. -- What the actual f(*)ck, samsung?!
you might be right, mate!
Good news for s7 users. But android O is really worst than android N reported by some forums due to less root capabilites and different system structure.

Android 9.0 Pie Update for Vivo Nex

So, Android Pie 9.0 is released today, and the update will be available today for Google phones as well as essential phone.
Anyone who has used Vivo phones in past has any idea how much time does Vivo take to release the new version to their devices? Eagerly waiting to taste a new Android and hoping that Vivo cuts down the Extravagant iOS-ish UI and goes for much cleaner, stock UI.
Could take 3-4months at the minimum .
Starting today, an over-the-air update to Android 9 will begin rolling out to Pixel phones. And devices that participated in the Beta program from Sony Mobile, Xiaomi, HMD Global, Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus and Essential, as well as all qualifying Android One devices, will receive this update by the end of this fall.

Great to know! Hope they release an update to Nex soon and demonstrate their dedication to international audience.
Anyway, android p or not, we won't see the difference with "Fun"touch OS
I wish there was a way to load Stock Android on this thing.

Only if vivo give us appropriate source codes. Or all specific peripherals, especially pop-up camera and fingerprint will be not working. The problem is not with loading itself, OEM drivers are needed to compile stock android for using with this device.
Vivo is working on Android 9 for their best phones , i found this picture at official vivo china forum. hope ANDROID 9 come in this year for nex s. they have internal test now

Sometime in November for Android P ?
looking forward to this update...
Yup, me too. But we won't see much UI difference since it't Funtouch OS.
I wouldn’t expect it earlier than end of December for Nex S.

No unfortunately we won’t.
Funtouch OS will remain with the same restrictions as before and iOS style UI.
Only hope to see improvement with some key elements feature like unlimited third party app notifications support to AOD.
Current status really sucks.

[Mi MIX 3] MIUI 11 and Android 10

Hi, i think almost everyone here heard about the upcoming MIUI 11 update (rolling out from middle October in China). I'm pretty excited about that, but i have a question i cannot answer myself. Will the MIUI 11 come with the new OS Android 10 or will it come just as it is without OS update? I'm asking that because of two things:
1) I've read somewhere that Xiaomi already confirmed Android 10 for our device.
2) Instead the MIUI 11 Beta, avaible in China, is actually based on Android Pie
So...what are your toughts about that? Feel free to answer!

this is true for beta version, (mi-Globe / EUROM)
yes im already on MIUI 11, but it still based on Android 9 no doubt.
but the introduction of new features makes you want to use this ROM more and more (personal opinion)
system-wide dark mode still misses some notif/popup windows (its still on light)
AoD new styles are great, very artistic
they said MiShare is faster, cant feel it. but its not slow. i think it feels the same as V10
and the other features were there just before we hit MIUI 11. I guess this would benefit the stable users more.
its actually not a night and day change. you kinda appreciate those little adjustments. icons, stuff like that. not much for themes tho
its one of those regular updates that you want to jump into. and yea its kinda pretty cool.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. I'm sure i'll like it too! Just hope they'll push Android 10 before Android 11 lol. I'm okay with Pie, it works good and has a HUGE amount of apps and will support them for long time for sure. On the other hand, this device in Global version was born with Pie so...would be nice to see at least one major update. I've heard somewhere that Xiaomi launched Mi MIX 3 with Oreo in China so basically Android 10 would be the last OS update even in EU/Global version because of some strange thinking about their update politics

what's good about with Pie is that, stereo speaker mod is still working, and maybe it wont work on 10. still enjoying the mod
For now i'm not planning to mod my device, when support will be dripped, then il'll explore again the modding world
You guys surely know already but last china beta (9.10.10) is miui 11 based on A10... Not that android version makes any significant difference for the end user but well, always nice to be en par with google I guess

I've read the news on XDA. And yes, i don't care so much about android version rather that security updates but you know.. a one year device is expected to see at least two major updates xD

This is so true. I've learnt the lesson with Honor 8. They wanted to kill the device but after a lot of time and people's petition they finally released oreo. Now i'm at the first experience with Xiaomi but as i've read around they're used to update frequently their devices. Don't know so much abouth their policies about updates though, so we can say i'm just hoping that the "Two major updates" rule will be followed

It usually gets to a point when a device is dead unless community keeps it alive. And that is awesome. I actually choose my devices partly attending to their development support. I still have my old hammerhead, 5 or 6 years on, and it is running nice pie roms and surely some 10's will come. Last google firmware is marshmallow. That is really cool
Still, of course it is good and nice that a newish devices keeps being updated by OM.
In my case, more than android version I wish xiaomi updated kernel source, but that is way too far fetched I'm afraid.
Right now I'm using MIUI 11 9.10.11 beta version and it's based on Android 10. I'm on the MIX 3 Android 10 close beta group and get updated everyday. This rom is quite stable and the only bug I found is the incorrect display of RAM which has no influence on my daily using. Magisk worked perfectly and I got 68HZ display so smooth XD.
Can anybody tell me where is Mi Mix 3 ? Or Instead of Mi Mix 2 should be Mix 3 ?

Android 10 Go for my Tab 2 digital picture frame?

Is Android 10 Go possible? Or maximum 7.1.2?
I don't mind slowness until it is unusable. Galaxy S2 did it even without Android Go, why Tab 2 can't?
Also how to make custom rom myself?
Update:Installed Lineage 14.1, it is still fast(er than stock rom)
Hi i also waiting
Yeah. Even our ancestor Galaxy Tab 2011 Wifi recieved Android Oreo.

but thiss device is ages old and its nice of devs to keep it updating to latest security patches
making a rom is quite hard i guess (tried making one but didnt understand stuff) hopefully if devs want they can make one but i dont think it will happen nougat is still buggy for us

yeah, it's sad that the predecessor got oreo and GT2 haven't. Oreo go edition would have been the best rom for this tablet and any aging tablet for that matter as it is modern and is easy on hardware with 1GB RAM and underperforming processors.

Exactly the Go versions ars made for Android with less ram so it would go smoothly but idk the devs don't wanna do it and I can't find any good tutorial to begin with:crying:
Someone may know Oreo download link.

Actually it is the fault of the PowerVR Graphics Chip. We will not get Oreo before i9000 get it.

You can join the beta thought Samsung member if samsung will launch it in your country. But, since we are talking about Android, you will be able to manually flash the beta even if it's not available in your countyr.
