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!

2) Instead the MIUI 11 Beta, avaible in China, is actually based on Android Pie

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 ?

Was thinking to flash it because China version supports 3rd part themes. But after unlocking bootloader there is no quarantee so Im not going to do that. waiting for global.

So, when my mix 3 global is getting miui11 or Android 10 update? Any possible date?

Thamk you for the fedback, hope to see Android 10 also in stable release (should be avaible between 22-31 October)!

Why no ROM??

Can anyone explain why there are no ROM (except Unofficial LineageOS ) for this smartphone. I am a big fan of Pixel Experience ROM but there is no ROM for this smartphone. I can use GSI but that comes with a lot of problems and bugs.

Not enough interest and no dev willing to take it on.

May be due to the Exynos Processor

I don't think exynos is the problem because there are lots of smartphones of samsung with same processor but they have a broad variety of ROMS.

These are Samsung phones too! These may be valued more ?! This is still a Motorola device.

Maybe too few have this smartphone. The cheaper moto action is better supported.
Edit:
Well. I just looked around the one action forum. Not really more support either...

Question this phone will have many custom rom/ development?

Hi, I like the phone but also I want to put some tweaks like 90hz display, custom roms, pixel 6 camera features(motion mode), kernels...
will we see a lot of development as in the xiaomi poco f1 or not?
thank you

If you have a Xaomi, i recommend keeping it a little longer. Roms for this devive are in a weird situation because the only 2 stable ones are calyx and graphene which arevboth great, but they are both very barebones and kind of difficult if you aren't experienced with degoogling

thank you, but with the same cpu as pixel 6 and 6 pro, it will be easy to port roms from pixel 6?

Yes, adding Bluejay is possible. Whether developers choose to do it is another question.

Velocity will be ready for public release soon. I'm just buttoning up a few more things.

I noticed with the phones I've own, custom ROM seem to get me frequent as the phone gets older and the stock rom releases begin to vaporize. If the phone has enuff hardware power n memory AND there's no more factory support (as in many older midrange Motos). The Moto G5+ and G5S+ had active 'post' communities as did the G6...I got a G7 cuz of 4gb memory figured it'd be a big post EOL project/rom phone BUT I missed the fact that moto was following google with the whole dynamic update w/ dual A/B slots which killed our beloved TWRP custom recovery and nandrive image backup.
BUT is u weren't into rooting/tweaking then that explains why Android Police named it the #1 phone for running LOS! Esp. after Moto released thr Android 10 kernel source code!! This is the main reason I didn't sell/trade it off...and ofc my wife put one of those sky-blue 2pc cases from Poetic and claimed it! lol

Best phone for custom ROM

I'm trying to work backwards - find a phone in the used market that'll support open source ROM. I can scan through various device forums but problem is I'm not so familiar with devices esp the Chinese brands. Plus it's too many. Hoping someone can help.
My criteria
- introduced 2022 or later
- big screen 6.4"+
- mid range ok not too high end, for cost reasons
- supported by at least one custom ROM. Or likely to be in very near future.
- not Pixel obviously cos it already has such ROM.
Xiaomi 11 Lite NE seems perfect but I'll be happy with a newer device.
Thanks in advance..
