Hey guys,
I'm just wondering how unsafe it is for security if running Android 10 these days? I know A11 would have higher security but I like the stableness of A10. I may update to A11 if its a lot better in security.
Thanks
You kidding?
I'm running Android 9 and unless you do something stupid it's near bulletproof in actual use. My current OS load is 1.5 years old, still fast and stable. Never a forced reload due to malware.
Q is not bad, maybe a little faster but more restrictive (not in a good way) than Pie.
I have 2 N10+'s, one running on 9, one on 10.
The highest I'll upgrade is 10 as both run very well.
11 is a dog. A puny, yappy runt poodle of an OS.
It will be a horror show compared to 10... but you can do what want.
Just dump 11 and 12 down on highway 61...

Greetings, fellow devs and fans. Hope that you are doing fine. I do hope that this would be the right place to ask anything, including what I have in mind right now.
I may have been ditching Android as my daily driver for Windows 10 Mobile for like two years now, but that didn't stop me from keeping tabs with the latest news about Google's mobile OS, and the latest news about the Go Edition of Android 8.0 Oreo do catch my attention. I would definitely love to see how Android Oreo Go stacks up against my current favourite mobile OS from Microsoft.
But that's not what I wanna talk about. I actually wanna talk about Motorola Droid 4 XT894 aka "maserati". I've been yearning to own what is undoubtedly the last ever Android - indeed, the last EVER smartphone with horizontal QWERTY keyboard. But that got me thinking: Since Android Oreo Go only needs 1GB of RAM and "maserati" is indeed only have 1GB of RAM, I wonder if there is(are) a way(s) of porting that particular Android into that Motorola?
Don't get me wrong - I'm not asking for tutorials or suggestions about steps on doing it, because I don't even know if someone else is thinking similar line as me. But who knows... in the future... maybe it is possible after all?
That's all for me. Would love to hear your thoughts.

I would even be happy if the "normal" OREO 8.1 (Lineage 15.1) was released some day.
But here are some sad but unconfirmed news: https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development/rom-cm14-1-nougat-t3499338/page22#post76220740
Maybe you could ask the developer "stargo" https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3457922 directly if he will publish an Oreo (Go) version for the XT894 maserati
Who can develop an Android ROM 9.0 pie for the Huawei Y5 2018 or DRA-LX3 version of 1GB of RAM and 16 storage which comes with Android Go edition which I find very limited to my liking
i would love if someone make a custom rom for this device, i just got one as secondary device for work and i think is really good for the price(Screen is great, battery life is also great, looks ok) but my main problem are the GO apps (Gmail Go, YouTube Go, Maps Go, etc...) that get crash all the time and if a change to another app or if the device locks the apps always reset and is super annoying specially with the Maps app, before this i was using another Huawei with also 1gb of RAM and older android version and all those apps where running smoothly so i think is fault of the Go version of android oreo
I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago mostly for the price. The phone would be great, but the apps just close themselves, any app that is a little more demanding would close instantly. I contacted huawei, but they just told me to do a bunch of useless solutions to optimize the phone that obviously didn't work and they ignored me when i told them that the problem was the "Go" version of the Android Oreo. Anyway it would be awesome if someone would make a pie ROM for the huawei Y5 2018 or Dra-lx3, or another version that's not "Go". Is the only solution i think for this phone since an update solving the problem from huawei is unlikely to arrive any time soon.
Hi...
I experienced the same problem of @Jyroux and @NateXIII
... the apps just close themselves, any app that is a little more demanding would close instantly...

even, the apps close themselves suddenly!
I wish some improvement, looking for a naked versione of Android (Oreo or Pie...it doesn't really matter).
Have you any info?
Thanks a lot & CIAO!
Hi friends, I have the same problem.
Has someone managed to root the device?
Could you tell me how I do it please?

If a developer that had the ability to build a ROM owned one of these devices, they would already have built a ROM for it. Since there are no ROMs available, one can assume that no such developers own this device.
Building ROMs requires having one of the devices on hand to test what is built. If you want a developer here to build a ROM this device, you'll have to buy another device like this and donate it to the developer, otherwise, you can try learning to build the ROM yourself or you can give up on the whole idea.
You are much more likely to get a ROM for this device by learning to build it yourself, that will probably happen sooner than finding someone to do it for you. No one is going to take the time to build a ROM for a device they do not own or do not use, especially for free.

You can flash a GSI, which is kind of a generic rom, if you have bootloader unlocked.
Hello,
I have a LG L90 D415 that I bought back in 2014 and is working perfectly. I was using it with the last official update sent by the manufacturer (Andorid 5.1.1 Lollipop), but one single APP stop working and when I check for that APP, for it to work I needed to have Android 6 Marshmallow. Problem was that the manufacturer stop supporting the unit and they decided not to provide any other update beyond 5.1.1. Luckily I found that there was version 7 Nougat for my unit as an AOSP with Linange OS. Me, being an ignorant of android configuration, had a hard time installing it but finally was able to make it work. If not for that APP that stop working I would never change the OS but at the end I was happy, it was like having a new phone. I was able to install the APP and make it work. Then few days ago I read this article:
Devices may stop working next year: Here's why
The article is talking about devices that won't be able to work due to outdated security certificates. Specifically about andorid devices using Android version 7 Nougat (the one that I recently install on the phone), the article says:
The most vulnerable devices
Helme said users of Windows computers won't need to worry, as Microsoft has built in constant updating of certificates. Web browsers on most platforms get certificate updates regularly. And because iPhones get system updates so frequently, "I wouldn't be too concerned about this problem if I was an iOS user (I am)."
"But it looks like Android users might have some concerns in the not too distant future," Helme added.
That's because as of April 2020, nearly 40% of all Android devices visible to Google were using now-unsupported Android versions such as Nougat or earlier. (These statistics don't include Amazon Fire tablets, Xiaomi Mi phones or other devices that run non-Google versions of Android.) Many of those older devices may soon lose the ability to connect to most app servers and websites.
Since I have an old unit it seems that there is no interest from the LinageOS people to build at least version 8 of Android for the LG L90. So I need to ask, What are my options? Is there a way to find updated security certificates?
Please advise.

If the manufacturer stops supports a device and if the device is no longer supported by custom development in the android user community and if security updates are no longer supported by the manufacturer or by custom android developers, the only other options are to support the software development yourself, if possible, or get a new device. You obviously won't be able to do the software/security support yourself so that leaves you only the option of getting a new device.
By the way, whoever wrote that article is an idiot iOS user. Yes, Apple will continue to release security updates, but, not for all Apple devices, they don't offer updates/support on their older devices. Apple doesn't want its users to use Apple devices more than a year or two, for this reason, they discontinue support on those older devices to force its users to buy newer devices.

Thanks,
I definitively won't be able to built my own, I'm just a dumb ignorant normal user, I don't even know how I was able to pull it out, I'm talking about rooting with magisk and installing the Linage version 14 ROM. I read and read, ask a lot of questions that were never answered (nobody seems to be interested). It was like my android lifetime achievement and something that you are able to do only once in your life.
I was checking the phone status and it says that the last uptade that I have installed is Linage OS 14.1 (Andorid 7.1.2), with android security patch level 2019-01-05. I hope that that helps somehow. I also found that there is another ROM of Linage OS using Android 8 (Oreo), for the LG L90 but it says that it is unofficial, so I feel uneasy installing it. It's a shame, the phone is working so fine, it is my first and only smartphone and has been with me... well... more than seven years.
I can't seem to find any information on this, but I'm curious if the new android 13 will support pKVM like the pixel devices do for the s22 series phones. I've read that 13 is supposed to be released sometime in October, but not many people are talking about the kvm support that's supposed to ship with 13.
From what I understand, Google is implementing this into their new generic kernal images, or GKIs for short. Does this mean that when 13 comes out for Samsung devices, I should have virtualization support right?
Can't find out because I just got my s22 ultra and the beta program is closed now, so I can't join. My phone is also carrier locked so I think that's another reason why.
If anyone knows if the s22 line up with get virtualization support when 13 comes out of beta, let me know cause I'd love to run win11 on my device, since it has as much ram as my win 11 desktop has lol.
While I can't speak to what Samsung plans to leave enabled in their Android 13 kernel build, I will mention that there isn't any emulated GPU acceleration in pkvm, so Windows 11 usability may be really sketchy. I had the same thought as you and was really giving some thought to the new Galaxy Z Fold, but a combination of Samsung possibly stripping out pkvm and the lack of maturity of pkvm as a platform has me holding off for now.

Fair enough, but at least if they don't strip that out, we would be able to run windows 10 because it doesn't rely on GPU acceleration as heavily as 11 does.
From what I seen in the pixel demo, 11 usability doesn't look too bad though
Can we check another device from another manufacturing have already android13 kernel if the pkvm enable or disable can you check with me??
Is there anyone checked pkvm for samsung's android 13?

I don't think samsung fork of android has pkvm support. You should build custom kernel for that.
I bought my wife a Pixel 7. It's been great. I'd really like to upgrade from my Pixel 3XL to the Pixel 7 Pro, but I have multiple CCTV DVR's that I login to on old Android ROM's that I'd like to still be able to login to. The software is iMon2 and Hybix. Neither of which are supported on the latest Android OS. Last year, I tried installing the latest version of Android in the Pixel 3XL and then using TitaniumBackup to install the two DVR apps. iMon2 was so old, that I couldn't get it working on the latest version of Android then. So I'm confident it won't work on the latest version of Android now. I'm not sure about Hybix at this point. Are there any virtual ROM's like PC's have, where I could load Android 8 from within the latest version of Android, to run my DVR software? If not, any other ideas for getting it to work?
Why not just keep both phones? The old one for your dvr apps and the new one as your daily driver
The P7P doesn't run 32bit apps. If the DVR app doesn't support 64bit architecture, then it might be tough to get it to work. If you plan on rooting the phone, one of the developers here made a magisk module to bring back the ability to run 32bit apps. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be helping others: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-magisk-enabling-32-bit-support-for-apps.4521029/unread
This DVR app might not be running for some other reason though. I don't know.
Is it that its a 32 bit application or is android 13 not supported?
If it's that it's a 32 bit application then either the magisk module posted already is an option or a custom rom like Corvus is an option as that allows 32 bit installations
I guess someone has to be the first abandoning the 32 bit era permanently and I'm OK with that.
It did cost me and additional 1500 euros to replace my old amp as the app needed to us it is not being ported to 64 bit. So switching to the p7/p can be an expensive affair if you can't or don't want to root and install the necessary framework....
I would bite the bullet and get a Pixel. Its only a, very short, matter of time when all Android phones will be 64bit only. Google advised app devs a while ago to update their apps to 64bit due to upcoming requirements.
dvrs are cheap and don't last long anyway.
time to upgrade those IMO . and get some more reliable brand. like hikvision, dahua etc
