Hey!
I had a question about the"New G3 Optimus UI" for a week now for LG, and today i managed to speak with LG Mobile.
They said that "We got the information about the new UI will come to the successful LG G2, but for now we can't say any date for that, but soon" :good:
Hope, everybody will be happy cuz i am :fingers-crossed:

I think we will get Android L update, make sense, if a Samsung S4 with Snapdragon 600 getting it...
I also texted to LG Hngary about the new ui. Got the same information also. If you want to translate its Hungarian language
Next time, ask if we can expect it to arrive before 2015
I chatted with them few days ago but was told they had no info about futute updates -,-

G2 is not an old device. Optimus G is an old device. Why would they say, that they got an info about UI update... Makes no sense. Anyway we have to sit and wait.
I know that Sony always updates most of their devices to a new UI introduced with a new device, so it makes sense for LG to do that to.

Not just Sony... Samsung have done the same thing on S2, S Advance, Ace 2 etc etc. But the new ui comes up with the new android version. Maybe we will get the g3 ui with the android l

After Release LG Optimus UI 3.0, LG will update their new skin to old devices ( LG Optimus 2X, Optimus Black etc ).

Yep, maybe with new version. If LG decide that we will skip, 4.4.3/4.4.4 then we jump to L right away. But UI update can come with a simple update also, without version upgrade, anyway... We must wait.
maybe the G2 users will get the G3 UI for Android L that would be good better as 4.4.4 but i aint sure about it

@rebar71 That's pretty goodnews, but I also think they will deliver it since even their low end devices are getting the G3 UI and the G2 didnt reached the 18 months yet so there should be an update remaining. It would be even better if LG would give an unlock tool then the G3 UI update will get released. If the UI gets simplified so must be the bootloader just simplify it and allow bootloader unlock :good:
Is there really a need to open a new thread everytime someone finds this on the web?

I like CM a lot as well. I ran it and its variants on my last phone. But on this device, I haven't use it yet because I've decided that I like having everything work. No disrespect meant to the CM team and other AOSP devs. You can only do so much without OEM drivers. And they do a fantastic job with what they have.
If the Nexus 5 had been more competitive in a couple of key areas, I would've bought that phone instead.
Sent from my LG-D801
the only thing i dont like about the AOSP is the camera. I've tried different camera apps and none of them was comparable with the stock one(xcam). The AOSP based roms would otherwise be perfect for me.
I use the play store Google camera, now HDR works it's brilliant, I don't really miss the lg camera as it's a pain to have to keep switching modes for different situations, I much prefer the lg g3 camera though as it's flat, quick and one setting does all.

Yes, we do have a G3 ported ROM. But like I said, I've found that I like having everything working. And there is one pretty cool feature exclusive to T-Mobile devices that does not exist on any custom ROM... WiFi calling.

Really? It has to do with getting the G3 UI and having everything working as it should. I thought I made that clear already. Considering that pretty much all custom ROMs are built around the D802 variant, the rest of us invariably have stuff that doesn't work with those ROMs. Some of those things are important to some of us.
getting a new ui doesn't get you new apps and stability... it's just the looks of the user interface and i doubt that has anything to do with system apps update... (although, it would be nice to see an update to this as well)
it's just like you change the theme in the rom that supports themes...
what i see here is that LG will update the UI only - if we get both UI update and new android version, that would be nice though

How?
The thing is, while we might get the UI look, I'm sure as hell we won't get split sceen, hide front touch buttons and other cool stuff. That's LG, folks - and it's somewhat understandable since they want your money.
that's why ported g3 roms exist... with a bit of help from xposed here and there

Xposed modules take care of the tweaks I need. Hell, I would think you guys would be stoked about this. With the OEM delivering it, you wouldn't need to use a ported hack - and everything would work. We wouldn't need a semi-stable port. Maybe they throw in the split screen, maybe they don't. Who cares. It's just software. You can add it later just like we do now.
I seriously don't understand the hate on display here. If I was an LG rep and came across this thread, I might be inclined to say, "screw those guys. I guess they don't want it." But the fact that a lot of you are running the G3 port says you do want it.
Sent from my LG-D801
no hate, but knowing LG so far, we'll likely get just an UI update while Android L will remain for their newer devices only...
sure, developers will do their best to port L to G2... but official LG Android L - i doubt...
i hope i'm wrong and LG surprises us all for the 1st time

So far my known bugs:
- Absolutely Camera
- Sometimes fingerprint doesn't work, somehow bugged
- Phone gets very hot
- Screen very sensitive on rain drops
- RAM management is absolute SH*T, I turn on Snapchat and messenger and I get 300MB of free ram left.... ON 4GB RAM PHONE

Nice to hear that they are going to release Oreo. That means it's better to stay stock and don't remove adups package or root the phone right? By the way updating the phone to a new OS will keep the files and installed apps?

No 8.0 Update for Elephone S8 - Official
"Dear customer,
Please notice that S8 can be updated with a week, but it can't be available for Oreo.

From my understanding this phone will NOT receive the Android 8.0 Oreo update. Hoping for some more work software wise through custom roms and such, just ordered one based off the specs and build quality for the price.
Original Question: "So the Elephone S8 will NOT be receiving the Android 8.0 Oreo update? Also, is anything being done about the known bugs?"

S8 can be updated with a week to fix those bugs, and we believe everything will be better after that.

Yeah it does.. But supposedly an update for bug fixes including camera within the next week.. we'll see huh?! I'm constantly thinking about this purchase, it's still processing, $255 ish with expedited shipping (like $25 from their store) lol. Lots of controversy with this phone. I hope everyone is aware of the network availability and price point when they're buying it. I will base my review on other aspects mainly.

Nice tip on improving the autofocus speed in that last one. Though it wasn't worrying me, ISO 200 seems, for want of a better word, snappy.
Good news, if you go to Elephone store for the S8 there is a QnA section. A customer asks if there will be a Oreo update and Elephone confirms Oreo comes out on May!
You can confirm it by yourself!
I don't see such a response there - just them saying that they'll release it when they get it. But maybe I'm missing it -
can you please post link Steverwray?

Pm for now to avoid possible email spamming.
As for all the others who read this, here is a little more explanation:
He is the technical chief officer of zte and stands in direct contact with the dev team. He is also the reason we got the zip for disabling system write protection in the first place. Without him i wouldn't have gotten the update.zip (with disabled system write protection) and @raystef66 couldn't have made a flashable zip for us.

VoLTE should work on any of the big Oreo ROMs. WFC is hit or miss (even on stock ROM). I'm assuming Oreo is gonna be the last android version we can install and still have these things work (unless some dev out there finds a way to get past this roadblock in the future). Either way, I kinda doubt ZTE would provide any further updates for us beyond Oreo. I'm assuming that the response given in the OP meant that they would fix everything that's still broken and missing on 8.0; not begin development for Pie (especially since the Axon 10 is just around the corner, pulling resources into a 3-year-old phone just isn't a sound decision from a business standpoint).

It is if ZTE expect some form of customer loyalty on future purchase decisions. Would you buy the Axon 10/11/12 etc. based on your Axon 7 experience? Yes they had disruptions from trade sanctions etc. but that's not the consumers fault and imo ZTE should be doing everything they can to restore faith in their brand.
They're basically starting again.
They need an affordable flagship like the Axon 7 was. If they don't, it will be hard to gather enough sales to start a customer pool and try for return purchase later on.
Current customers are wary, sceptical and untrusting after that whole fiasco and rightly so.

They just need to copy and paste the Axon 7 with newer specs.
Maybe bumping it to 6" in order to have more internal space would do the trick.
I still can't understand how did they think that the Axon 9 Pro was a good idea. They litterally took all that was great about the A7 and...deleted it.
Now...a bit of an on topic question. Instead of releasing 8.0, could they not enter the Android One program with it...especially since they were aiming for stock experience?
Maybe it's been asked before, but what are the implications of entering the AO program,because IIRC, I may have read some time ago something about a partition not existing on the device and ZTE not gambling with a large release, but I can't remember specifically?

The vendor partition stuff is something else entirely. Some people believed that ZTE would bring Treble support to the Axon while that made very little sense (Treble is a requirement for phones that SHIP with Oreo and above, but it's optional for Oreo, and its main advantage is it makes it easier for OEMs to update major Android versions). It was developed by djkuz and NFound eventually anyways, but only because of the generic ROM benefits
I don't think you can simply slap Android One certification on the middle of a product's life, but even if they could, it would make absolutely zero sense for them... Why be commited to security updates and newer Android versions on a phone that has surely stopped giving any revenue since long ago? Plus I'm not even sure if people prefer stock Android to stuff like One UI where you have a bunch of options
Do not expect to much from ZTE for the Axon 7. Until now they did not release a stable OS and it will not change for the next update.

Marshmallow and Nougat were perfectly stable, if not the chinese versions. i'd say that counts.
The important thing is them fixing Daydream because it doesn't only entail adding daydream back, to run it properly you need to have thermals and the kernel properly tuned. Daydream should put the phone at ~1.3 GHz but I believe they'll have to mess around to make it work as intended anyways
plus all this is useful for LOS
Marshmallow and Nougat had a very bad design and UI because of mifavor. Oreo is nice but extremly unstable.

All I'm saying is, @GodOfPsychos contacted this ZTE guy, he said that an update was going to be released, and then XDA'S EDITOR IN CHIEF contacted that guy and got the same response (with which an article was made). They can bail at any time, but it's not like they are promising Pie anyways
I'm guessing you can't see the attached screenie in the OP? I can see it just fine from XDA Labs
We won't get official Android Pie for Axon 7.
The most I read into that is update to include cut out features like Daydream, probably a security update too. Just a finish of what Oreo 8.0 was supposed to be. I don't think we will even see official Oreo 8.1
If they had just kept with the whole "best sounding phone" idea I'd probably already have bought another ZTE. It was the thing that distinguished them in the crowded market of samey-same phones. At this point I'm clinging to my Axon 7 with my tight little hands, and any update to its stability will be appreciated. [Full disclosure, I'm running the GSI Liquid Remix unofficial build of Pie, but if they do update the official Oreo and get it rock solid, I could see downgrading just to be on an official ROM.]
