Apparently, there's a new update; quite soon after awesome 20G.
Anyone flashed already? What's new? Size of 1.6 GB (as usual) and can't wait to get on my PC within a couple of hours to get it rollin'

*A6 means 16 GB model; I feel that it won't hurt to mention in case there's someone unfamiliar.

Good, hopes it fixes the battery, home fc and gapps fc messages on boot.
But I guess it won't land here in Norway before a month ?
strange, any changelog?
honestly, I'm waiting for a lollipop
I made flashable zip for custom recovery here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-stock-d80220h-flashable-root-t2940789
Flashed it about 12 hours ago, rooted, debloated, encrypted, tweaked etc. and now I'm rocking 80% brightness and trying to squeeze that battery.
So far it's even better than 20F with solid full hour of SOT with surfing and some YouTube.
I also feel that further improvements have been made on camera (a bit quicker in dark and image quality is slightly better).
UI is also somewhat smoother (if that's even possible after 20F, hehe) and there's, finally, no more that bug with randomly locked onscreen buttons when they grey out and decide to not respond on fully encrypted devices unless you reboot.
Edit: And wow, there's no more homescreen redrawing after opening an app in portrait mode and exiting in landscape (when homescreen Portrait view only is unchecked). Nice!
Edit 2: Stock browser (not Chrome) is MUCH faster now. Switching between those tabs is lagless (it was way too slow before on every single KK version). And it scores 505 in HTML5 test so improved in that area too. I prefer Firefox though (it's fast, never crashed, a lot of addons, sync...) but it's draining battery in v33 and beta too yet stock browser comes handy with some preinstalled goodies like full page capture.

Mostly connected on weak WiFi signal, some 4G too (approx. 15 minutes total), screen locked at 80% brightness, a lot of surfing and everything being active except location, bluetooth and NFC. Certainly fine in my book.

Did LG include the ability to hide the soft buttons in this update? Or the ability to do 'drag and drop' costumization?
Can't hide. What's drag&drop in this case?

@mwedo on 20G I have random redraw lag when returning back to home or unlocking and not only when switching between portrait and landscape. Never experienced that on previous room version...
No more redraw lag at all you said ?
None so far. But same was (in my case) on 20G and older KK versions, except that portrait-landscape-portrait thing.
I did not receive the G update, but went straight from 20D to 20H. I have a D802 16GB and live in the Netherlands.

I seem to remember at least one Nexus 7 review said this slowness was a 'feature' - i.e., to prevent accidental rotations...as such it might be intentional.
My screen rotation animation starts after one second and completes a half second later. If the virtual keyboard is up, it takes an extra second for the rotation animation to start. I haven't experienced any 4 to 6 second delays but it could conceivably be slower with more resource-intensive apps.
Awesome update, running stock unrooted, web browsing is much, much better, its actually enjoyable now. I havent tried chrome yet, was only using stock browser with default settings with flash set to always on.
Project butter makes things run smoothly.
Google now is pretty awesome.
Thats all i noticed for now.
Great job asus!!
Update went well. Chrome running great. Weather Widget stuck on Centigrade. Scrolling is nice and smooth. No complaints after an hour of use.

i m afraid i ll disagree
after 3-4 reboots..
performance IS better though dont excpect to see the butterness of a galaxy Nexus or Nexus 7. Stock launcer is by far improved, faster smoother and very very responsive. I noticed some lag when scrolling on portrait mode but it was the moving wallpaper...disable it and itll be ok.
screen rotation IS noticable faster
opening apps IS faster though i noticed a small hickup when opening some of the times
Google now is working lovely, fast and loud. When in portrait at lock screen the google now icon dissapears, u have to landscape it to appear and use..:silly:
Chrome is a bit faster...not much, but it is better at least in responsivness...no ANR till now. Stock browser still better..
Nova launcher wich i use needs a clear cache/data and then its absolutely amazing
stock gallery takes about 3-4 sec everytime to open ..thats bad
Youtube app seems faster overall to me..
Maps just the same..
seems to me Asus did a good job here...just good

When I checked it this morning (3 different times!) all I get is this message-
"Failed to download file.

So the update is out, but it's not downloading yet for me. Maybe a lot of people are all trying to download at the same time? Who knows. I'm completely stock in case anyone is wondering. Anyone else seeing that message?

I got the same message and even rebooted a couple times with no success. Then i gave up and left it alone, and like 10 mins later my prime notified me that it dowmloaded the update and is ready to install. So i guess anyone with a greyed out check update box, it will eventually download on its own.

*UPDATE*
Finally began downloading the update after the 5th time of rebooting and then checking for update. The install took roughly 18-20 minutes. No issues with the install so far. Slightly laggy, but that's normal until a few reboots after firmware update (every firmware update has been like that for me so I'm pretty sure it's normal).
So far so good

I'll be holding off updating until a root method is discovered, the reason being that I'd like to restore my user apps with Titanium Backup, as I'll be resetting to factory defaults right after the upgrade. Not taking the chance of crap performance manifesting itself later after my god-awful experience with ICS. If by the end of October I'm still dissatisfied with my Prime, I'll be selling it at a loss and saying adiós to ASUS.
I got the download, but when I try to install it and rebooted it said it failed. Went to check update again, it's says there's no update.

I still hate LG launcher. It's laggy as s**t.
And there isn't much of a performance improvement, sadly.
i will try later thanks!
Well, after all, it is a huge improvement over V20A firmware. I kind of starting to love it, though I miss my language.
Mine was sluggish because many system files got corrupted when tranfering from one PC to another and deodexing screwed it up even more. Play Store didn't work, Play Services was crashing whole time, and many apps didn't work as they should.
Now I've redone everything, extracted system files, putted my newest kernel, added init.d support, but left odexed, because I don't play with Xposed at all and, in my opinion, odexed ROM is faster ROM
And what do you know - it's snappiness is now on par with Jelly Bean and CyanogenMod. Some apps got updated, notification bar now works miles better (in V20A it was way too laggy, though extensive tweaking reduced lag a little bit), lockscreen is also buttery smooth now. LG Launcher is still kind of poor, version in Jelly Bean is better choice.
And while it's branded ROM, there is a lot of bloatware, which really annoys and eats RAM.
That's all what I've gathered from an hour of usage.
anyone got v20c via ota? or it has been released only for spain...
v20a is laggy as hell.. hope this will be better...

If I recall, the yellow light for no reason was something that happened if you set up charging LED. What interests me is whether LED control apps like Light Manager or Light Flow work now (when all LED options are unset except for the external apps one).

After 6.0 Im done good news
Sweet! all we need to do is wait 6 months to get it ;=\
Android versions are moving so fast now developers can barely keep up, every new version has less features than the last and by time they start added some a new version is out. Granted 5.1.1 was SOOO bad I'm on cyanogenmod and at my house I don't even have service, id rather deal with that than the phone lagging to the point I have to pull the battery. I'm going to be switching carriers and sticking with cm but this is definitely my last Samsung phone.
I must be one of the ucky few who have almost 0 issues with 0G6, the errors (bugs / problems) I do have are easily fixed by a simple reboot. As for Marshmallow, I've knows for days as I asked a store associate at my carrier store whether or not I was getting it. He checked android central (of all things) to conclude that I was receiving it. And he was right. Now the waiting commences. My only question is, how long does it take for the official firmware to be released after the OTA becomes available?
The phone is unusable on 5.1.1 I don't see it getting better on android m . I always will try a new firmware but my experience has been that any thing after dob1 is crap. and cnk2 is faster than dob1
One other thing . dont hold your breath. I remember samsung saying the gt-19300 was going to get jellybean and then they changed their mind because of not enough ram. the motorola atrix was supposed to get Ice cream sandwich and that was also rescinded due to ram issues. I will believe it when I see it.
i'm too kind of done with samsung they pack the phone with goodies that you can't enjoy if the signal issue is not fix i will change phone brand i've read motorala are excellent with signal
one more bad software and my phone will end up like a marshmallow when i get done with it.LOL

On my phone after installing fog6 it runs OK for a day or two. Then It gets very laggy. To the point where the screen completely locks up and becomes unresponsive. It freezes.once I reboot the phone it is fine for a few hours but eventually it will freeze again. Typing is hard because of lag. I will type several characters and they won't appear until several seconds later. Often times when the phone rings I try to answer it but the phone becomes unresponsive and I miss the call. I then reboot and find out who called and call them back. This almost always happens if I am using the browser or an app when the phone rings. My phone is rooted and my wife's phone is not but we both have had these lag and performance issues on fog6 and fof6. I even debloated the phones and that still didn't help the lag. A reboot will fix it for a while but the phone will always lag again and freeze up when I need it the most. This is why I reverted to dob1. It is nowhere near as laggy . But even better than dob1 in my opinion is cnk2 . It is kit Kat but runs like a dream with no lag and all apps running no need to debloat. This phone was made for kitkat. It has 2 gigs of ram. That is why it is having problems on lollipop. I don't know how your phone seems to be OK maybe you are just lucky but I use my phone heavily and sad to say it can't perform on lollipop the way it does on 442 kitkat

You just explained mine AND my girls phone exactly!!!!! Stock did it so I DE bloated both phones, same issue, Installed shinys kernel and made all the tweaks, same crap. It has nothing to do with the ram, its a software issue and to my knowledge is limited to Tmobile!
afaik the other carriers are on 5.0 which is definitely not as laggy . anyway I am on cnk2 rooted twrp recovery with xposed and everything is running awesome. i could stay with this till the s7 comes out.
5.1.1 has never been laggy and I'm on db01 running cyanideL. Ran Blisspop forever and never any lag. I've seen these post and they are mostly from the same people who have jumped on every firmware update the moment it came out and got jocked everytime! They have caused the issue themselves trying every tweak in the book; the phone final said enough

Not sure I agree with this. I moved from at ATT S4 running KK to the S5 running 5.1.1. S4 ran fine but just a tad slow. So I figured I'd "upgrade". BTW, I'm as stock as one can be and have the same type of issues.

5.1.1 has never been laggy and I'm on db01 running cyanideL. Ran Blisspop forever and never any lag. I've seen these post and they are mostly from the same people who have jumped on every firmware update the moment it came out and got jocked everytime! They have caused the issue themselves trying every tweak in the book; the phone final said enough

My girls phone came stock with fof6 and she couldn't deal with the non stop lag so I tried debloating it for her which didn't help, At that time I was running the sickness rom and happy. Later the fog6 came out and I told her Id update her phone clean with odin to it and do mine as well as I wanted the stagefright patched and hoped that since I was several radios behind I may get better signal at my house. After that we remained stock and within days it was not usable so I began debloating both phones, which didn't help. Shinys kernel was the only thing that helped but the lag out still occurs daily. I agree updating the phone is what caused the lag, but that's what people buy new phones for and update them, to stay current!
Let's hope that the bugs are worked out in 6.0. I believe samsung knows what to do with this phone if they are updating it. We all love touchwiz and deserve the same experience, newer device owners have. All I'm saying is be thankful, because if the Korean company was right about the prediction of 6.0, we wouldn't be receiving this update at all

I'm showing its still in manufacture development.
the software it self state stage 3 completed now for each diff phone is a diff story
I just recently came across numerous articles claiming it was possible to get Android Nougat on a U.S model Galaxy S7. And just yesterday, samsung rolled out the galaxy beta application to the Galaxy App Store. I immediately unrooted and went to the latest firmware, and I downloaded the app. Registered and waited, and 14 hours or so after registering, I received the update. I'm honestly shocked at how good this update is. It's 10x more snappy and quick than it used to be (even after being rooted and debloated), it comes with great features such as a built in blue light filter and being able to change your screen's resolution on the fly, and the battery life is much improved. I've barely scratched the surface on what this new update comes with and just wanted to let the people on this forum know. If you're interested in seeing what it looks like I've attached some screenshots of what it looks like below.
So I got unlocked fw on my wife's Sprint S7 and like how it's bloatfree and runs real smooth. How is the Nougat 7.0 beta update compare to unlocked fw? Is it way smoother then the PJ2 fw? Just wanna see if it's worth it to even go back to PJ2 on her phone and sign up to get the beta update.

I won't lie to you, I'm a heavy root user and not having root on Android N sucks. However, it's a lot snappier than the PJ2 firmware, and it just feels a lot quicker in general. The simple materialistic look it has is great, and apps install and uninstall very quickly. You can disable nearly all the bloat that it comes with, and I'd definitely recommend trying nougat. It's been very quick and snappy so far, so I would give it a shot. Boot times improved and lag isn't nearly as bad as Android 6.0.1.

I'd say it is, I used xposed for so many things (mainly adblocking), and it's annoying to get the ads back, but it's so much faster booting up and just snappier all around, that the speed makes up for the restrictions that come with a rooted device.
All right! The update wasn't showing this morning, but I checked again this afternoon, and there it was!
Came here to post about it and I see that I'm not alone. Still downloading..

So far, it's looks good. There are plenty touches that are pretty sweet, and some that I am still testing. I also own a Nexus 6, so I know what the raw Android N feels like.
One of my favorite upgrades would be the support for 3rd party apps in the Always-On Display. And for those who don't know, you can now double tap the notification icon while the screen is off (the Always-On Display screen), and it will turn the screen on and open the notification. That is a NICE addition!
I am fond of the fact that stock N groups the notifications by app, and also creates subgroups for each notification from EACH app. For example, 2 Emails and 2 text messages will be categorized into two main notification groups, and each can be expanded to display the individual notification, and can be dismissed separately, or as an "App Group." (my terminology...don't quote me on this) It seems like Samsung removed the ability to do this.
EDIT: Correction about the notification subgroups...it does handle them correctly most of the time, but there are times where it will not. For example, if you get multiple emails from the same person, it might not separate them. That much of the equation is not entirely consistent.
Still more testing....stay tuned.

I am unrooted, and will probably stay that way for this device (for the time being, at least). I can say that the phone is much faster than Marshmallow. I wouldn't go through the trouble of unrooting, as the Beta program is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Not sure how many people have jumped onto the Beta ship by now.
On the other hand...you could be getting the latest version while having the snappiness that you had before. Up to you....

I haven't had time to fully dive into Nougat yet, but I'm highly disappointed there's no way to modify the notification bar icon placement as icons just pile up on the right and it looks awful. Also I have no idea what they've changed but fingerprint scanning and unlocking the screen has become extremely quick and hardly ever screws up your fingerprint.
Hmmmm...that's interesting. I have to let my notifications pile up to see what you mean. I clear my notifications fairly quickly.
So here's a little more information about the update. For those who have not gotten the update as yet, install your desired themes while on Marshmallow. N Beta does not allow you to install new themes until the N build is officially released.... bummer. However, themes that are alresdy installed will work (as you.csn see, I'm using one as well).
Also, as seen in the screenshot, you can disable the default Samsung keyboard. That's new!
I will be back with more minor updates.

You need to be on the latest firmware of sprint in order to receive if as it's done through the beta program and they verify your device.

I'm not taking about notification icons I'm talking about when you enable things such as airplane mode, silent, that sort of thing, as they all just sit beside each other to the right.

Right. I see that System UI isn't added. Not surprised, though.

Running it now, albeit the leaked beta for the note 8. With the polish that this build seems to have I would highly expect it within the first two months of 2019.
Overall, the UI is a huge change. But overall I seem to like it when paired with some of the android pie changes. It feels snappy and so far user friendly.
I am still a fan of the stock android (pie) ui but this is definitely my favorite OEM skin so far.
I hate the fact that the Snapdragons get betas and leaks, and then after the official streams kick in, Exynos is bombarded with releases and Snapdragons remain behind.

I agree, this build of Pie, and One UI feels very good. AR Emoji and Bixby Vision are broken, but I don't ever use those features so not a deal breaker. Adaptive Battery is included with this build, I'll be interested to see how battery life is affected by this feature. All in all a very nice change from Oreo.

It seems to be working for me as I have it set up. But I have yet to attempt a purchase with it so I can't 100% verify yet that nothing is broken
Yeah but who cares about snapdragon models, but good for them to get something..
Apparently, closed beta ONE UI for Note 8 Snapdragon is up already.
https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-note-8-install-one-ui-android-pie-beta/
I have a T-Mobile Note8 that already got CRK1 and installed this update last night; it was working totally fine, except for any 'Sunset to Sunrise' time settings, that would turn off every time you turned the screen off. It seriously is a good upgrade from the stock Oreo UI; much more clean, unified, and snappier.
But this morning, I woke up to my phone basically soft bricked. It just sat charging last night, and now it just randomly vibrates here and there, and the lock screen just doesn't show. I can make it do things with adb, and the camera will launch, but otherwise, its basically useless. I would skip this build.. I still haven't found a solution but to download CRK1 and downgrade back, which I'm waiting for the download to finish now. Reinstalling this beta and clearing the system cache didn't do anything.
I have a theory to why sd gets leaks more than exynos. Countries like usa brand the phone heavily and perhaps need to test it more and earlier to push out the update. That's also why they get the update last..
Just my 2 cents opinion

Can you let me know if this is an update or will it be a clean install. Can I use it with any carrier.

Just a quick update on this: the phone was actually working fine like that on the beta, it's just that my Good Lock's LockStar wasn't working; this happened again when I updated to DRL6, but I adb installed the new LockStar to get it to work again.
Official Pie in March.
