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.
Android 9 confirmed... but im still on 7.1.1... i cant understand why my phone never got Oreo

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.
I was realize after I bought this phone, the phone version is lollipop(5.1.1), and I looking for any rom developers who ever Can create a rom for this kind of phone ( Coolpad a8 Max) honestly, I want change this version into latest or oreo, thanks!

1. Posting in the android themes section isn't going to get your question answered.
Post about this in your device section or android questions and answers.
2. Use Google.
There are NO CUSTOM ROMS for your device
There are no developers active, the device has no support and cannot update due to its bad firmware that doesn't allow the bootloader to be unlocked, so it cannot even run a custom ROM.....
3. Did you not check the android version before purchasing? Thats just stupid.
This device is from 2016........no one should be buying 2016 hardware or a device with an android version which is over 4 years old in 2018.
For less than half the price you paid for that cool pad you could have got a Nokia 2.1 or Nokia 1 both are running android 8.1 or can install a project treble android P GSI - both those devices are project treble compatible!
Here's some interesting information....
Your purchase cannot be justified from the device specs, the current budget Nokia range use android GO and have been proven to perform much better and faster with much less powerful CPUs and far less ram that a more expensive multi core CPU device with 2 to 6 GB ......
These devices perform 15% faster and only use a small portion of on device storage.
As for your cool pad, You are stuck on lollipop I'm afraid.
Look at the price comparison of the cool pad A8 and the Nokia 1 with android 8.1 Go.
If you want the "latest" android version you always need to buy a device that has it, not buy a far more expensive one that has an android version that will no longer be supported in the next few months.
FYI - Google are going to make android 6.0 marshmallow a minimum requirement to run their apps early next year, and then are going to make android 7.0 nougat a minimum requirement to run their apps by the fall of 2019.
So I am currently on a HD1910 a OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren (not the 5G variant) that I bought from a Chinese merchant when it first launched but I think it is considered the India version for some reason. (screenshots attached)
I was using the phone for work but today it seems my employer's policy enforcement on the phone using VMWare Hub failed with "Andriod for Work - Sept 1st 2022 requirement Non-Compliant" since Oneplus Oxygen 12 is still stuck on Aug security patch right now. (screenshots attached)
Q1. What ROMs are the best options to migrate to if I wanted to keep passing my company's VMWare Hub check? (there is a "not root", "os version", "android encryption" check as well)
Q2. In order to update to Pixel Experience 13 Plus Edition I need to downgrade from Oxygen 12.1 to Oxygen 11 per https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/hotdog/install/ , where can I find the 11 ROM for my variant of hardware?
Q3. Is there special steps that I need to follow when installing VMWare Hub and letting it setup my Android for Work profile when running under the Pixel Experience 13 Plus ROM?
Q4. During any part of this migration am I going to lose data on the phone? (need to reinstall all the apps, etc)

From a user beta tester ZF9 Android 13 in Zentalk forum:
It's simple. Because of Google Wallet issue they cancelled the update.
Now the hotfix is rolling out slowly and the website will update soon.
