Will Honor 9 get Oreo 8.1 in near future? Does anybody know?
Also second question, is it possible that we will get next Android P?
Thanks for answers!
Considering how many Honor/Huawei phones still got the Oreo update, I guess there is actually a fair chance we will get Android P. As for Oreo 8.1 ... well, it was already released for a while when we got 8.0 and as far as I know, the next "big" update with face unlock is still based on 8.0 so I don't think we will be getting 8.1 in the "near future"
Latest EMUI8 B365 with May Security Patch is still Android 8.0.0
Updating to 8.1 requires a kernel update as well from what i could understand (Honor View 10 as source code for the 8.0 and 8.1 firmwares separately, and the difference is the Linux Kernel version), so the update will depend on their will to make that update or just wait for Android P release and update directly to that one (My bet would be that they will leave it at 8.0.0 and update directly to P by the end of the year or so)
Has anyone tried booting a plain AOSP treble 8.1 ROM on the H9 yet, was considering it the other day, but not sure if its worth the soft brick mess...
likely we will get some sort of idea after face lock gets to every device
With Huawei/Honor it's easy to figure it out. Flagship devices get 2 major updates, and midange devices one. So we will definitely get P. Maybe with Treble devices they will increase it to 3 and 2 updates. As for 8.1, it's the same story as 7, they went with devices on 7.0 straight to 8.0

Hopefully the phones we have will survive long enough to have another update next year. https://blog.motorola.com/2018/08/15/baked-android-pie-coming-motorola/
Yey. Let's wait till end q1 of 2019 when Google starts to test Android Q for Motorola to get P ready for it's last year's phone's. Or do I have to remind you that Oreo was released end April/early May to the original Z play?

You might have misunderstood something.
The article says "Android Pie will be served up on the below Motorola smartphones starting this fall:"

Yes, starting with the 2018 models, or maybe only with the Z3 since it's the most expensive ones. Or do you really believe that our one year old phone will get updates that quick? They are not Pixels and knowing the update strategy of Lenovo for the past couple of years and without treble we can be lucky if we even get it this year. or have you forgotten the Oreo update? And it wasn't even to 8.1, just 8.0
I am still on 7.1.1 Nougut. According to support, I am on the latest update. But on 08/31 they claimed they are behind, but it is coming soon.
Shouldn't the all be the same regardless of software channel, build number, SKU, Version, etc.? They are all Moto Z2 Play. Mine is even unlocked so I would think that would be a benefit.
Here are the specs from the "about phone":
- Moto Z2 Play - UNLOCKED version (carrier independent)
- Software Channel = "retla"
- Build Number = NPSS26.118-19-1-16
- SKU = XT1710-06
- Version = PVT1
- Baseband version = M8953P_23.33.07.34.01RALBUS_LATAMDSDS_CUST
- Security patch = February 1, 2018
- Android 7.1.1. (Nougut)

I had the update like in mid July, but it didn't take. It got all messed up and went back to 7.1.1
So I installed Oreo on the side and put Custom Rom on top of it.

Same here. I have no idea why my phone won't update. I have it unlocked and rooted with Magisk, but won't it still detect the update and try to download it? I just need to unroot first and flash it and it should be just fine I thought. But nope, still on 7.1.1 with the February 2018 security patch. I'm on software channel retus. Right now I'm not really too concerned with getting a new version of Android on this phone since everything is stable but I'd like to know why my phone never got the 8.0/8.1 update.

It depends on carrier. Although, if you ask them, carrier will say it depends on Moto; but truth is, it isn't. As far as I know, AT&T Latin America released (or it was Moto?) 8.0 Oreo in August, which has been already updated up to September, 2018. Next should be 9, but... Yes, 8.0 was released same time as 9 for Pixels, a full year after Z2 device landed. So, statistically, 9's OTA should be inside AT&T's Z2 devices, late in 2019. That would be another year, probably along with 10's appearance! but... Maybe not. Who knows what's in their heads. Point seems to be keeping OTA fans (don't count me in) eager as hell.

Is pie update coming or not? Or are there a custom pie ROM available? Would you recommend flashing ROM? I mean will it reduce battery or performance? Thanks in advance.
The Android Pie 9.0 update we get for Moto Z2 Play will be still on 32bit architecture?

So did they mean this Fall as in NOW? Coz I'm still on 8.0.0 as "latest" and seriously peeved considering these Z²s are pretty much vanilla Android to begin with
Mi A1 received Android 9 pie update and now it supports dual 4G + volte. Really shocked to see Snapdragon 625 supporting dual 4G and that too enabled with an update. And Moto doesn't even update their os to 64 bit.

For this device to be updated to 64bit, it would require formatting, users would lose all their stored data. How well do you think that would go over with the general public?

That is a fair point. Although it's fairly easy to backup data on a phone with SD card, not everyone will like it. I had Asus zenfone 3 which came with 64bit OS despite 3GB of RAM and camera 2 API was enabled so the Gcam and hdr+ worked without root. Thought Z2 play with 4GB RAM, better camera sensor and stock Android will be even better. I was wrong.
Do you think Xiaomi updated the Mi 8 Lite to the recently released version of Android 10?
Will someone give development to customs roms of Android 10 for the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite?
Hold your jets pal. We dont even have a rock solid Pixel Experience on Pie.
My advice. Go test the latest builds, use the phone, report back and then maybe we will have Android 10.
Eventhough not officially announced, it's almost guaranteed at this point Xiaomi will update it to Android 10. Usually it's 2 years of version updates and 3 years of security updates. The estimated release date is somewhere between Q4/2019 (Mi 8) and Q1/2020 (Redmi Note 7).
That beeing said, don't hold your breath on it. Kernel sources usually get available at a much later date. Until we have high quality, rock stable custom Android 10 ROMs, most likely another year will pass.
I'm optimistic about this. @nysadev even made a guide on how to install Android 10 GSIs on platina, so i think soon we'll have (not stable) custom roms
there will be an android 10 miui for mix 2s. miui 11 will come first as android 9 later it will update to android 10.

Apparently no one has new issues about what will happen with Android 10 in the Mi 8 Lite, in the same way my cell phone was stolen and I'm not interested much because It makes no sense to remain interested in something that I no longer have :/

Pixel Experience developer is working on it but is not easy, just wait
Hey,
Altough I bet there are hunderds of threads like this, I decided to create another one
So because I have my mate 10 lite around 2 years (a bit less), I would like to get an upgrade. Sadly I won't get Android Pie officially, so I'd like to install a custom ROM.
To do that I need an unlocked bootloader which dc-unlocker is only able to do below Android 8.0.
So I would have to downgrade my Android 8.0 (Btw, EMUI is also 8.0) to Nougat 7.0.
The method through HiSuite didn't worked since it just says "Newest Developer Version installed", but nothing with "Switch to other versions".
Also through Firmeware Finder (Playstore App) it doesn't show me the option "In-App Proxy", so I guess it doesn't work either with that.
Is there another way to do, if so I would really appreciate any help
Thanks in advance
My Mate 8 also keeps on Android 8.0, without any update to Android Pie officially.
If the official utility, HiSuite, which is developed by Huawei doesn't work, we maybe have no way to downgrade the system software on Mate 10 or Mate 8.

It all depends on your current build version. If I remember correctly the ability to use DC was patched in most custs in May or June. So if your security date is prior to May you can still use DC. If not you're out of luck. You can use testpoint to flash board software and then get unlock code through there, but it requires you to remove the back of your phone which will break IP rating and void warranty (If it's still under warranty)
Any hope this device may get any sort of Android 11 update

Nope. Huawei has not included the View 10 in the list of devices that will receive Android 11, and as you can see other ROMs have remained in Android 9 because it is not possible to unlock the bootloader.
EMUI 10 on Honor V10 is Android 10.
disable animations and debloat it and.... it's good enough
GSI ROM is now available
https://www.xda-developers.com/developer-boots-android-11-22-older-devices-project-treble-gsi/
Hello all.
So, I hope this device is not completely dead.
Anyone here got the recent GSI roms running on this device and mind post the ready image and flash instructions along with known bugs for this device?
Though I understand why the community left this device... and brand altogether. It will be my last as well. Cheers
I'm not sure if this is the right place. But, what are the requirements to create Android 11 Custom rom for this View 10 device?
Hi Team, I was living under a rock and have been on android 9 for last 2 years now wanted to upgrade to Android 11.
Is it possible to skip android 10?
I have update the TWRP to latest version any other things to mind, I would still wanna remain with pixel exp +
Thanks for the help.

Hi, it depends on which device you have. As you know Android does not support updates very long for certain devices. So, first check if your device still can receive updates from Android and if not, see if you can update to Android 10, which is much better than 9. Kind regards kuzibri

I am using Poco F1. No official updates and I dont like miui. Please advise if I can flash android 11 on top of android 9? Same rom pixel exp
I think yes, you can flash directly the latest PE. See HERE and HERE. Clean flash, with formatting (not only wiping) several partitions is a must.
