When can we expect the new TouchWiz(Note 7) update for S7. All I just want is the new active display. It shows the 3rd party notifications. YES!! Any other feature to be excited about?
wow, that would be awesome. I was unaware of that change.

Don't know when/if we'll get it, maybe it will come with the Nougat update? Really it could be whenever Samsung decide to update the AOD app for the S7, which they're probably not in a rush to do as the Note 7 has just been released and so they're happy to leave things as exclusive to it. Maybe we can get a copy from the Note 7 in the meantime to see if it works on our S7.
Here's a Note 7 system dump if anyone wants to mess with it.

As you might have noticed, Android 8.0 codename Oreo has been officially released today.
Let's discuss all news, speculations, development, and opinions on Android Oreo, especially for our Galaxy S8 and S8+ devices.
not much to discuss - S8 still on Android 7.0 when even Nokia is on 7.1
Id say - expect it on Galaxy S9 - next year in March
If im wrong - i ll buy you a beer
The S8 does literally everything that's highlighted as a new feature in Oreo

I just wish the MMS bug was fixed. 7.0 has the issue, 7.1 doesn't and it's super annoying.
I think that there is a lot to discuss, mostly about design , UI
As every new major os update samsung ui is completely different. Remember Kitkat then lollipop on galaxy s6 , then marshmallow on galaxy s7 and nougat on s6 7 8 is one of the biggest changes. So did you expect or want (or not) ui changes both in system interface and icons , or getting closer to aosp look? I personally love the s8 ui and icons but I think I could be nice to have in apps instead of pure white , a white that is just a little little bit tinted with app accent color, I mean in the dialer app for example, instead of white background, a white that is a little bit tinted with a very light and pastel green . I could bring a little bit of color and uniqueness to all of the apps

Android O has already been confirmed for the s8/s8+.
The reason Samsung hasn't updated to 7.1 is because it's not really needed since the s8/s8+ already does everything 7.1 has to offer.
It's speculated that Android O will be released for the s8/s8+ in January.

There are tons of changes under the hood and bugfixes to Android you know?

Wondering if Touchwiz will be updated on the S8 when it gets Oreo. Or would it just be what we have now (8.1) with Oreo underneath. I got the S8 purely for the hardware, never been a fan of touchwiz.
What Android O features is Samsung going to replace or just not implement? That's an interesting question.
Was rocking an iPhone 7 for a while, but when ios11 got announced and offered literally nothing of value I said "F this" and came back to Android.
I miss the Play Edition phones.

on android 8 on galaxy s8, Samsung experience is expected to jump from actual 8.1 to 8.5
Haha Android Oreo. Samsung won't release anything for maybe 9 months. Your better off wishing for a bootloader unlock then installing a custom rom which modi likely won't happen for maybe 6 months.
Android O has copied / borrowed a lot from the Samsung Experience UI. It's notable in terms of functionality and also in certain UI-design, such as the revamped settings menu. It looks nearly identical to the one on the S8.
Except for a few under-the-hood optimizations Android O has NOTHING to offer to an Galaxy S6 or newer Samsung device. We already have ALL features of the Android O feature list. There is no need to getting Android O in my opinion. It's nice that those new features are borrowed from Samsung and integrated into vanilla Android but that's all there is to it. I don't need Android Oreo but I do appreciate the security updates. Keep in mind that Nougat on the S8 has a lot more features and built-in features than Vanilla Nougat! Oreo simply narrows the gap between Vanilla and the current flagship leader, Samsung in terms of usable functionality that is genuine handy with day-to-day usage.

Can you hold press on a app icon and launch shortcuts-commands? eg: send new message in Whatsapp, or compose new email in
Does it have the notification actionable bubble?

Press long on an app icon for in-app shortcuts - commands>
does it do that - bcz its one thing to press long an whatsapp icon and get things like uninstall, move app etc - and another thing to get send message to John, etc commands
If I am not mistaken note 8 is at 7.1 and it's a same hardware like s8 cpu wise so I think that we will get 7.1 very fast

Yea I wouldn't go that far.
Everyone wants to have Android O on their S8. If all we get from this day forward is nothing but security updates. You'll be in the very small minority and everyone else would cause a scene and either abandon their 8 or beg Samsung for it.
Samsung has been doing a good job at keeping the S8 updated so far. Hopefully they do a good timely update to Oreo. Having treble should make updates easier for them to push out.

Yes i get that - but its still android 7.0
:angel:
Coming from the s6, i saw the exact same train of thought i see here, so im going to say its always going to be a samsung "thing". When i had my s6 and it was on MM, people were in such an uproar about nougat and even when they got it they still were. I was happy with MM, people moreso say oh what about the security updates, i was an a 7 month old rom and never had any issues and only moved to nougat roms when the one i was one stopped updating.
Now i have the s8+, had it 3 weeks now and im not even thinking about the Oreo update right now, im happy with what i have, and when Oreo does come out for the phone i'll see how people find it 1st rather than jump in head first and then regret it.
I know Samsungs update policy so im not going to get in a huff about the update, people not so aware may not share my feelings.
Can anyone tell me when the Open betas for the OnePlus 7 will be available? I don't ask for an ETA. But in which month or Quarter can we expect it?
Looking bad for OnePlus 7.

Give it some time. The OP7 has not been released that long.
Sure, I still think they holding the OP7 back, to push OP7Pro.
I think so too. But I hope, they will give the OnePlus 7 the same treatment as all the other OnePlus phones.
I am currently on OpenBeta 33 for the OnePlus 5. And I like it very much. So I really want to get OpenBeta on my coming OnePlus 7.
Hi,
My previously smartphone is a galaxy note 8 and I liked one UI interface , status bar, and nav bar, application drawer.
And I would like to know if it is possible to integrate one UI in my OnePlus 7 pro ?
Thank you in advance
Cordially,
I highly doubt it BUT you could probably theme it with substratum if you wanted
No. And prob wont happen, OneUI is a lagfest and wont be a thing developers Will even think about.
Tbh id you liked OneUi u shouldve picked a Samsung for your new device. Oneplus is all about speed, stable + features that doesnt make your phone lag.

It's possible.
You just have to make it.
OneUI has made a LOT of improvements over its previous TouchWiz versions, but OOS is pretty awesome as-is. If you want a OneUI devide, get a Galaxy S10
I've had both, but prefer OnePlus device with OOS ecosystem!
I absolutely agree, I had an S9+ before and after switching to 7 Pro, I couldn't be any happier.
The development support on Galaxies just sucks, manufacturers have made it in a way that people can't but run only stock rom to their satisfaction.
And once you've tripped Knox, that's it, can never use SPay, Health, etc. ever. At least there should be an option to lock bootloader back again. Samsungs just suck big time.

Nothing is impossible, it can happen just like the op6
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/development/rom-samsung-oneui-t3898627/page14
I had an s9+ for 3 weeks I really tried to like it, gave up and got the 6t then when the S10+ came out I bought it really tried to like it kept it for 2 months got really tied of the fingerprint frustrations and gave it up and got three 7 pro. I liked the S10+ but always missed the 6T. Battery and snappyness. Came to 7 pro and I was like f**k Samsung.
They use older processors, they give you crappy interface. Well I do miss 1 hand operations+. Root sucks on Sammy. Op all the way.
Guys please, he's not asking for a rant about OneUI, hes just asking if a port is possible.
To answer the question, yes it is most likely possible to port OneUI for our phone just like it was done with the MIUI, but it will be the full Samsung System then and no more OxygenOS. Apart from that I doubt that anyone is willing to take the enormous effort that is needed to take such a project
You can install GSI, but I doubt fingerprint, front camera, quick charge,... would work
I am a fan of OneUI but since using Oneplus 7 pro everything has changed .... I vote for Oneplus UI.
do not need One UI ROM, I have ordered the note 10+

I only said they improved upon it. I never said they fixed it. I'll take LineageOS over OneUI any day of the week

Couldn't agree more. After buying oneplus one i couldn't buy any another one.
I bought all the oneplus devices and will buy in future for sure without any doubt. Community is great for oneplus.

Yea, sammy phones are bloated, but actually some features are really nice. If anyone would be able to port the weather widget, or the game launcher, that would be nice.
"HMD Global has announced the rollout of Android 10 for the Nokia 8.1, making it the first Nokia smartphone to get a stable build of the latest version of Android."
https://m.gsmarena.com/nokia_8_1_android_10_update-news-39549.php
Is this good news for any Android One phone, or Android One project, or is it a matter of manufacturers that build the phones, maybe this could have good effect on development of Android 10 for A2 Lite ?
Nokia always gave timely updates to their devices, this matter doesn't really have any effect on other androidone devices. Nokia also adds other features to their phones (they're all androidone afaik), like round ui, pixel blue accent color and cam2api. As far as updates go, xiaomi isn't that good with their androidone phones, so don't get your hopes up and get frustrated afterwards. I would love to have Android 10 soon but, I know it's not gonna happen. Cheers.
its strictly related to nokia, this. the fact that they will push it sooner then xiaomi means nothing to us. it all depends on Xiaomi when they will start working for it, and when will they release... nokia is known for being faster to update then xiaomi thats for sure. so just sit and wait
...or, you could install unofficial android 10, there is a good GSI version here on xda which works fairly well.

My brother is using a Nokia 7 plus and I had Android 9 weeks before him and even with security updates Nokia isn't faster all the time compared to Xiaomi.
I've never managed to get any kind of custom rom working through TWRP because of the kinstalldeviceopenerror.

Okay let me ask this, do you consider the Pie update we got as stable? Because I still think that we never got a stable build of Pie from Xiaomi. I can't even update to September update because it breaks the digitizer for me and I can't even use the screen properly. I have no idea how stable is Nokia's version of Pie but maybe you can enlighten us about that.

In my eyes our Android Pie is very stable. I never had to reboot my device due to system instability bugs. The worst one I ever had was the screen rotate flash bug. My battery backup after one year of usage is still superb, usually I get 7 hours of screentime within 5-6 days of usage. Most reported bugs appear to be on devices which had installed custom firmware and messed up vendor partitions.
The only thing I dislike on this device is the low headphone sound volume while using a European Union display language. I'm just using U.S. English to fix that.
I don't know about bugs in Nokia phones, my brother never told me about anything special and I can't check his phone because he's in England and I'm in Germany.

Nothing official, but I think q1/2020 would be a good guess.
Last year Mi A1 got the Android 9 update on the 23rd of december.
My guess is Mi A2 Lite will get Android 10 in late december.
