Will there be an Android 8.0 update for the Lenovo P2?

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.

And a news for information is that lenovo doesn't develop the update for our device its moto which create updates for our device. And for verify go to apps and search for device manager and and under that it show the name motorola mobility not the lenovo inc etc and for more clarification there is official news that lenovo stop the phone branding and other process and gave this operation to moto and lenovo will now focus more on laptops zuk branding and vr ar etc like things and also market strategies so moto now handles our device but all the forums will be on lenovo forum only but only for lenovo devices

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.

Realme 1 will get Android P{Confirmed}

Rejoice realme users.Your beloved device will get the Android P update.
The news was made public by geekyranjit in Twitter.He said that the company has confirmed the p update for realme 1 when he enquired about the same.
Update:Now it has been confirmed by the company directly.
Source:https://twitter.com/realmemobiles/status/1002391788957519872?s=19

Im eager to buy Realme 1 but ColorOS is blocking me!
If its gonna Android P , but then also ColorOS would be ColorOS!
Dont know about bootloader unlocking yet, Heard that Oppo phones are not unlockable :crying:

If Oppo doesn't Provide the Unlocking Code or Support Fastboot Binaries, then it would only depend on some Tricks or Any Loopholes that would do the same.
Lets take the Eg. Of Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 , it has got bootloader unlocked and within a month Custom Roms have started to come up.
Now lets take the Other Eg. Motorola Droid Turbo (Int. Version of Moto Turbo which i was using in 2015) it doesnt have Unlockable bootloader , but within 1 year developers have successfully Unlocked the Phone!
And another, Droid Turbo 2 (Int. Version Of Moto X Force which im using now) it also had unlockable bootloader , and its going to be 2years but till now People are unsuccessful for getting Root/Unlocking due to the fix in Loophole.
So if Oppo is Not Providing the Unlocking Code or It doesn't Support Unlocking (as far as i know now) its not to be correct to assume it would get rooted/unlocked but can only hope for good.

Realme 1 has mediatek P60 AI chipset. Also Android 8 doesn't support AI feature but Android 9 (Android P) does. ColorOs 5 is supported and powered of AI feature like Battery, Camera, etc. Maybe Company push stock Android. But isn't bad ColorOS.

I think its never gonna happen! Its like Same, Mi rolling out Stock Android 8.0 insted of MIUI 10 or Honor rolling Stock Android 8.1 insted of EMUI!
I didnt used colorOS or any oppo phone before but MIUI,EMUI,UX5.0,Touchwizz... and i didnt keep up with them especially with MIUI and EMUI!
I keep Moto as my primary device (since 2013) due to stock android and simple interface.
ColorOS wouldn't be the deal breaker for the most but for some (like me) its making me think twice before buying

The phone is running on 8.1 Oreo, that means it has project treble support, so there will be no issues in unlocking the bootloader and developing a rom for the Realme 1. Just have a little patience.

Project treble means to have separate Vendor partition , so that GSI can be boot without compiling a seperate rom with a specific vendor tree. But it dosent mean treble=unlocking

Yeah, but it's a little less difficult for the developers to unlock the phone. I think you know that starting with Android 8.x (Oreo), Google separated the Vendor and Manufacturer. That means the OS can be updated without having to touch the vendor implementation. Before project treble, The Vendors have to wait for the Unlock Code from the manufacturer which was very lengthy and delaying process, at least project treble solves this issue.

Only Manufacturers signed images can be flashed with locked bootloader , so if you are planning to boot a LOS GSI you will need a Unlocked bootloader , and by no way you can sign a image as same as manufacturer so jt will fail, as far as unlocking is concerned its in the hand of oppo only bcoz i heard that oppo deleted the fastboot binaries of the phone and to unlock the bootloader ,there must be a loophole or some think which can be exploited otherwise it would suffer the same fate as droid turbo 2. In future what happens i/we dont know but till now its correct to assume that phone is unlockable bcoz oppo is not supporting bootloader unlocking

Here, look at this,
There's an option to allow permissions for unlocking Bootloader, so i think in future maybe Oppo will allow modifications.

This option will be there on all devices even on Droid Turbo 2 , and LG phones which i have used and are not unlockable.
Even CM12.1,13 has that for no reason.

Install TWRP?

Hey,
i recently found an interesting website.
techdroidtips.com/install-twrp-recovery-zte-nubia-x/
techdroidtips.com/root-zte-nubia-x/
Do you think this is fake or is it worth a try?
I guess unlocking the bootloader and rooting might not be the most difficult thing (according to the history of nubia devices)...
but is it really that easy?
Im kinda getting the feeling that this is a self-generated website with nubia specs so it looks legit.

I believe these are somewhat fake.
The instructions are legit, this is the basic process to install twrp on any phone.
However, if you read through both sites where it says "click below to download twrp" its crossed out and there is no download link.
This is because TWRP does not currently exist for the Nubia X.
once TWRP is released for the Nubia X, which you can check in on here;
https://twrp.me/Devices/Nubia/
Then you can go back to those sites if you want and follow the instructions.
Also should mention those sites talk about installing CWM & Cyanogen on the X ....again these do not exist for the Nubia X

I'm keeping an eye on Nubia's Chinese forum to wait for a proper recovery ported by community developers, right now there's root but with a modified Magisk which can't be upgraded or further tweaked, I'm still waiting for a better one.

I guess you can't really flash a custom recovery with locked Bootloader, and this topic is about TWRP, not root.

Rootable?

So i don't know why this phone is so unpopular but I'm really interested in buying one over the Mi 9. I talked to the german customer service hotline and they told me that the bootloader is unlockable. They did not want to tell me how to do it. Now my question is: should I wait for someone to try to root it or should I buy the Mi 9?

I'm really interested to buy the Axon 10 Pro as it's really an awesome device with its great price. But I like to use custom ROMS and I'm wondering if it will get custom development support...

So if someone got a custom rom means they could unlock the bootloader. But what about Root? Magisk? SuperSU? What versions? I need to see a dev try it before I do.

So here's my question, what is ZTE's history with allowing us to unlock bootloaders on their phones? How long do we expect it will take before that happens? Because whether or not I buy this phone depends on rootability.
Is there any forum anywhere that sorts new phones by rootability?

I imported the phone, as it's not available here in the US. It's great little phone, but it does have it's drawbacks and one of those is rootability. ZTE has a history of locking bootloaders by eliminating the fastboot option.

Android 10 kernel sources released by Xiaomi

It seems that Xiaomi will not update Android 10 for Mi A2 Lite, we will see tomorrow whether there will be a new kernel source for Mi A2 Lite

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...
