Any plans for an update to lollipop? - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any news on the net to update to 5.0 so the phone like the nexus 6 can get a port?
Every time I search it just gives results on "how to install on the nexus 5.
Thanks

This question was asked on the ubuntu-phone mailing list a while ago and it was mentioned that they found 5.0 too unstable to use its code in Ubuntu (5.1 wasn't out at the time).

Thanks, but my question was regarding a method to know that irrespective of time frame, so i could just use it to know which is the current version of play without referring to multitudes of threads (often dead) and create ones like this.

Try installing the new Google+

I'm running the new g+ already, that's why I asked.
Now that I look, I don't think that new version has been released yet.

Rumor sadly incorrect: Android apps won't run on the Z1.
I'd love to find a way to install Android apps on the Gear S. The Tizen app store is such a joke
Google won't let Samsung get away with installing Google Play Market apps, especially Google services apps on a non-sanctioned OS, especially the one Samsung is hoping to compete against Android OS. So, the best Samsung can do is create its own app market and hope devs are supporting it. I seriously doubt this will take off. Samsung can't even make its own Android app work correctly across its own ranges of Android phones. They know how to make fantastic phones but their software has always below average.

Glad im not the only one.
I too have been searching for how to do this. Did you ever succeed?
I found some android 5.0 links from a google search, but they look fake. wonder if CM11 or CM12 would work OR the method used for the gear 2. Sure would be nice. i almost got the ZGPAX S8 (nearly the same guts), but opted for the Gear S (for the scren) w/ hopes for the eventual android ROM.
Fingers Crossed,
:good:
hasnt happened, there is nothing in the works, any links on google that say otherwise are false....

[Q] (Dev question) Using my Lollipop theme (on Lollipop)!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum- I read on google that this is the biggest android development forum so I thought I would get involved. I am just about to release my first app and hopefully with a little help I can do it very soon!
I had my app looking pretty nice using the new Lollipop tools. I decided backwards compatibility is important, so I switched all my Fragments,actionBar imports to the support library. Now (understandably) I can't use my lollipop theme.
Is there a way to use different action bars for different themes? I tried to cast the support ActionBar to a new one but it doesn't seem this is allowed.
Any help would be appericiated.

fqrouter2 compatible android devices.

Hi all,
fairly new to posting in these forums bit been a regular visitor for a long time.
I've looking into ways of sharing an internet connection with others. A repeater would do the job but I also need to log into a website in order to get internet access, this is why th Android solution is the best option.
Using FQRouter2 is the only option on the Play Store that can fullfill this requirement however using the repeater function of the app seem to be limited to having compatible hardware.
google.com/store/apps/details?id=fq.router2
My aim is to get a list of compatible devices to help others that need to achieve the same objective.
So far none of the handset I have (mainly Samsung GT series) have got the repeater function working. If you have got this working could you post the model of your Android device and the firmware version it's running.
Thank you.
It doesn't work for:
Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
Kitkat 4.4.2
KOT49H.I9505XXUGNJ8
Here it the link to go https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fq.router2
I have been trying to get this working on a rooted Sero 7 Pro and I have been unsuccessful. I think it would be safe to assume that it can be added to the not compatible list.
Can anyone assist with trying to find the most affordable tablet that can support this functionality?
