I am looking at the page:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/Roadmap
According to this, firefox os 2.1 is listed as being completed on July 21, but the status is still listed as in progress. Can I assume that it's not officially release yet and the latest release version is actually 1.4?

Who can tell with the jacked up Roadmap that Mozilla has? 1.3 has been around for a long time but never showed up on any comercially available phones (zte open and alccatel one touch fire)

I hate to say it, but I think you're 100% correct on that point.
At least the Open C has recent enough drivers to run FFXOS v1.4 and above without issue, unlike the Open.
When you look for releases of Firefox OS you should see this https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing and this https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases. In particular seems that Firefox OS 1.4 will be released on 2th of September.
I haven't device.but it's not upgrade to 2.0 version
Why 1.4 has not been released yet? There are pre-releases for 1.4, 2.0 and 2.1... But no new released from 1.3, at April... And I think Firefox OS should release every 12 weeks...

I wanted to root my phone and also have a different skin but there are so many different versions like rc33, rc32, cupcake...etc what are the differences between the versions and which is the best version I should use and also the benifits of reflashing different radio versions.
The RCxx builds are based off of the official released (OTA, or Over The Air) that T-Mobile sent out to G1 owners. The xx numbers are the release version numbers. Rc29 had the 'root bug' that was patched in RC32. That is why the first step in rooting your phone is to go back down to that version, so that you can get root.
If you want to stick to the official releases from there, you just want to go to the highest RC version that's out.
You may also see the 1.1 and the 1.5 version numbers.. these are the versions of the android OS itself. Currently, all of the OTA versions released have been 1.1 - the newest update to android is 1.5, which will start to be released by T-Mobile via OTA this week.
From here it get's tricky. Since HTC makes the phone, Google (sort of) makes android and T-mobile releases it for their phones... there are multiple avenues by which the android OS can be obtained (and I'm sure as more manufacturers come on board, there will be more)
As these different flavors of the new 1.5 version (nicknamed cupcake) have been released in official and non-official ways, different developers have tried to create their own released.. this is how all the different versions have appeared. Karkuro relased different versions based on the HTC code and the Google code respectively. TheDudeOfLive released a couple versions based on the Google code... You'd have to read the individual forum threads on each versions to get the gist of the actual differences.. the first post of the threads will usually list what the major differences are.
Basically, like any open source project, there are several forks of the base code - expect this to get even more interesting/complicated in the near future.
Is there a good breakdown on the differences anywhere?
I already asked on AC, but no luck so far.

Well its unlikely that an exploit will actually be used, anyone know if Asus has this under control?

If not them, some dev will have it fixed sooner or later...
I think it will be google that has to patch it. They will then release a new version of android like 5.1.2 or 5.1.3 and then asus would have to make a new build with that version of android im sure. Or they could build the patch into whatever patch they are using for that version android.

If you read the article it states that the problem in patching lies in the companies not pushing the patch out quickly or at all...
Once google releases a patch you can be assured that the patch will be made available, especially for a big problem, with the devs doing all the work.
You may need to be rooted and have xposed installed but a fix will be made available...
ZF2 uses x86 CPU. So, special exploit has to be made for x86 phones. The majority of Android phones is ARM. So, no one will write exploit just for few phones (unless it's targeted for specific person's phone). And it's unclear if this vulnerability exists in x86 (and can be easily exploited).

https://www.xda-developers.com/android-8-0-oreo-google-released/
Android 8.0 Oreo is being pushed to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for everyone to access today. The update builds for Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Pixels has entered into carrier testing, and Google expects the phased roll out to begin soon alongside that of the Pixel C and Nexus Player. Google is also working closely with OEM partners like Essential, General Mobile, HMD Global, Huawei, HTC, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Sharp and Sony to ensure that new devices are either launched with Android 8.0 Oreo or are upgraded to the latest sweet. Further, devices in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version.
So this means its time for new roms to pop up all across the board, for many devices.
We all have been waiting so patiently.
Oreo update version, if Enrol now
Hi
I'm using Nexus 6P. What happens if I opt in for Enrol Device now, I mean which release will I get the OTA., a beta version or the final Android 8.0 release.?

Should be final since the reveal already happened. Overheard they started rolling out releases already. Not beta.

Thank you Huskied. I did the update by enrolling the beta programme, I got the final release.
And yeah, this is something like a force update, if the OTA didn't hit the device.
Hello, I just got the notification to update my Blu R1 HD, the version of the update is v 9.2.
Someone already updated? is stable?
Thank you
Yes it's stable, no changes except the April 2018 Android Security Updates.
I'm very surprised Blu is still sending out updates for this almost 2 year old device, that's better then some major brands!

Don't give them too much credit. They are just attempting to make up for the numerous security debacles that they had with most of their phones in 2016 and 2017. Plus the security update is from Google, not Blu.
Blu likely only pushed the update to stay on good terms with the FCC. Who recently put Bans on Huawei, and ZTE. Why else would they update a two yr old phone, when they cannot provide promised nougat updates for several phones.
They are not reputable, they published marketing literature, made claims on social media sites, and in interviews where they promised nougat updates for phones released in 2017 that came with Android 6.0
A year later no updates.
I understand that Miui 9 can be installed on this phone. If I can figure it out I will share the files here.
Will there be a modified version of 9.2 for people with rooted phones?
Thanks!

I guess I am not stock since I am rooted and running xposed and removed ads.
So am I correct that to apply this update I should re-flash your 9.0 full ROM and then run your updater script before installing su and xposed and running the commands to delete the ads?
Thanks!

Yes. Look at the last couple post on the modified stock romntjread. Confirmed installs of the patch from stock v9. They went the long way and "de-bloated, un-rooted, etc".
Re flash v9 then the patch should be fine.
8 still need to edit the first post over on that thread to add this patch.

I guess it's rather Amazon than Blu, since there are no updates for the retail ("non-prime") version...

You can buy a LeEco S3 for $89 it has 3gb ram,Snapdragon 652 ( 8 core processor) 32gb hard drive, 1080*1920 resolution, 3000mah battery and about 30 working custom Roms. We have 4 leecos in our house 2 LePro 3s and 2 Se3s.
I just sold one of my Blu R1s for $50, almost pays for an SE3. Blu should embrace the developing community and release the source code to these phones, imagine the respect they would get.

Hi, I don't know how to update my stock R1 HD, I had only updated it from the same cell phone to version 8.4 but it only indicates that there are no more updates available, how then can I put this version 9.2? thanks
Sony released remote play for all Android phones this week with compatibility from Android 5.0 onward but it's recommend to have Android 10 to use a DS4 due to better compatibility drivers. Is there any chance you could rip the drivers from the OnePlus 7 or 7 pro on OOS 10 put them in a zip and flash them through TWRP or magisk?
I think you just need to wait since the official update is coming this month of October.

Not to argue specifics but the beta comes out this month and the full release is next month. But I understand your point. I still want to know if it's possible to do it though.
Drivers are in the kernel in Linux based systems. You can't just 'rip' the drivers. You have to find a kernel Dev willing to work this with a soon deprecated Android version... with yet unpublished oos kernel sources, only AOSP ones. Not easy
That's why it will be more easy to wait beta / official OOS. Or perhaps be ready to try one of the Android 10 ROMs floating around there

Understandable thanks for the answer, I thought it was more like the adreno drivers that you could update through TWRP or magisk I forget which one I just remember doing it on my V20.
