Android 5.1 finally brings support for dual sim - Xperia Z3 General

Finally some official Google love for multiple SIM cards. Hopefully this will make it easier to support dual SIM cards in CM and other AOSP based roms. Can't wait!

Good question - as I own Z3 dual...and still don't have 5.0 update...

Should have it by now. I got 5.0 yesterday

I have 5.0.2 as well now, but I think the question was about the easiness of porting 5.1 in the future due to implemented dualsim support by google..

Yup, hopefully we'll see some AOSP love soon.

Latest rumors are that 5.1.1 for Moto G 1st gen would be released by end of June. This thread is created to track news about 5.1.1 and future issues with this release .
EDIT :
Looks like we are getting the 5.1 and not 5.1.1 as thought .

The 5.1 thread I see is for GPE devices..This is for non-gpe devices most of which are dual sim .

Guys, this is getting worst every time... Just wait for that update to come! I started to see my Moto G as what it actually is: a phone! Another Android version won't do your phone better... Just grab a ROM if you want something better than stock firmware... Because I bet when the OTA comes, you will get bored of it and you will go again to CM12.1, won't you?
So this thread does not make much sense here...
Going by that statement there are many such threads which don't make sense ..It would be interesting to see if Motorola offers support for slightly older devices given that the firmware is almost pure android... Besides cm 12 doesn't seem to work well with dual Sim . Let's watch for few weeks and see how things pan out.

Cool, another update rumor thread. Just what was missing on XDA...
yes, give us 5.1!
I got the xt1032-en-GB. Anybody who got their update for that one yet? For 5.0 there was a thread showing the OTA release status for all regional versions, it'd be great to have something like this as well for this release. I tapped the "check for updates" button a couple of times today, but it gave me an error saying that it cannot check for updates right now.
Whoever says that the Moto G community on XDA is the worst... it's the opposite... and we deserve our updates btw, I disagree with the statement saying that an update won't do our phones any better...after that catastrophic, bug-infested Android 5.0 release (which is not Motorola's fault) any update is more than welcome. Kitkat was supposed to make phones with low specs speedy due to reduced resource usage, so it's quite amusing that everybody keeps reporting that their phones slowed down on all post-jellybean releases. Let's see if this is finally changing again with this release - ART was supposed to speed everything up again, isn't it? (oh and CM is not an alternative...it's the Duke Nukem Forever of Android ROMs, at least on this phone (since I never tested it on any others); I've tried that self proclaimed bug-free official Moto G CM a year ago which was developed by that guy who left, but unfortunately it was a crash-prone mess)
The Costum ROMs are not better at all when it ciomes to bugs and performance and not say memory management. Motorola stock firmware with Android 5.0.2 is good with memory leak fixed the system has just 125 MB consumed and a free of 600 MB vs Costum ROM or GPE 300 MB consumed by sysem and 300 MB Free.If Motorola release Android 5.1.1 with the memory leak and memory management fixed like 5.0.2 then I would be the best Android version for Moto G till then the GPe version with xpirt mod pack is the best as I tested with battery life and performance.
and yes that memory leak is still not fixed in the AOSP branch of Android 5.1.1
I just hope that Motorola will release soon Android 5.1 not when Google is releasing Android M.
The soak test for 5.1 has begun, so expect in a while.

Source or it didn't happen.
No Idea about Moto G 1 gen.
But in India the Moto E 1 gen. gets 5.1.
MOTO E
Android 5.1, Lollipop, is now rolling out in phases.
Owners will receive a notification on their phones when they are able to update.

David Schuster, Motorola's Senior Director of Software Management, had recently stated on his Google+ account that most of the company's devices would skip the 5.0 update and instead jump directly to 5.1 Lollipop. According to David, the 2013 Moto X, the 2013 Moto G, the 4G Moto G and the Moto E would all be updated directly to Android 5.1 Lollipop instead of getting 5.0 first

I've got a uk 1039 and recieved the update this morning to 5.1.
are there still people who have the xt1032 or has it become smth exotic by now? I'm still waiting for the update on mine (8GB, UK version). Getting the impression that lenovo has released too many different variants of this phone
Its rather strange . 5.1.1 is a minor update from 5.1 ,and it was released few weeks after 5.1 , with few more bug fixes . Wondering why motorola didnt jump straight to 5.1.1 for MotoG..
That happens; there were a lot of devices who have been updated to 5.0.1 even though 5.0.2 or later was already out. Including Nexus devices.
So where is 5.1 for the XT1032 now?!

There is no definitive answer if we will get it or not.
"I see a lot of questions about when/if Moto G (1st Gen) will be getting updated to 5.1. The answer is yes... we are working on it. I know you guys want dates but we have run into a few complications so as soon as timing becomes a little more clear I will post an update.
UPDATE: I will have more info on Moto E (1st Gen) next week.... "

Is there someone willing to deal with a costumed M ROM for kltechnduo?

Right, it's a China duos s5.It was not very expensive but I may not receive marshmallow update.(?)I love recent Android so I am looking forward to 6.0. Samsung's updates are too awful to drive users mad, especially China version. It's awful to have no Google apps, awful to have few ROMs.I saw unofficial cm13 for klte, can I modify it for my phone? What can i do?

Do you think our Redmi 2 has a shot at Android Nougat 7.0?

Right after Google released Android Nougat 7.0 and made the source available for developers to tinker with, devices started getting unofficial builds, even the ones that weren't officially supported but that's the beauty of Android, isn't it?
At the time of writing this, a bunch of developers have already booted up Nougat on their phones and are trying to fix whatever bugs are left.
So, coming to the point, do you think that we'll get an Android Nougat build? Considering that recently a dual-core processor phone Xperia M just booted into Android Nougat and as we all know that currently we're running Marshmallow which some users including myself feel that it's a bit resource-intensive than Lollipop(I have the 1gb variant).
Keep Calm and wait for Android N by premaca for our device.
If Sprout Series can handle Android N then our device can handle it too.
BTW Marshmallow isn't that Resource intensive on 1 GB RAM too it runs pretty much smoothly.

Hello morning..

i am from Indonesia Southeast asia.. i have Note 4 official N910H single SIM n No 4G
my question .. will Note 4 get update Nougat 7.0 Official?
thank u for information...
good luck everybody
No. This is extremely unlikely, as the model is more than two years old now. It was unlikely that Note 4 received update to MM at all.

already struggling with mm , still update nougat ?
According to Samsung's policy, flagship devices are likely to have only 2 years of software updating while our device has just passed that amount of life time, thus, no more major Android update, security patches may still be delivered. (Note 4 has many major Android updates over time, from 4.4 KitKat to the 6.0.1 Marshmallow). Again, this is the biggest problem with Android where software updating is limited, especially for non flagship devices.
From now on, our only hope of getting latest Android version is through unofficial way, CM14, AOSP are our best friends, we only need to give our devs a great support and they'll help our phone to survive one more day. Be optimistic guy

Thank u bro... its very good information for me .... thansks..:good:
We won't be receiving N officially, but we will probably get some version of cm14 (as advised by @yashthemw)
But I also strongly think we will start to see s7 ports of N as beta N just dropped for them over the last couple of days.
So wouldn't be surprised if we see a ported version to our device some time over coming months.
I'm gutted we lost our AICP maintainer ? would love to have seen AICP N running, MM is running buttery smooth with great battery life for me. But we need to sort out our cm14 branch first.
i think so

MI A2 lite getting PIE update

Question to the developers here. Anyone excited about this update? The G5+ and the A2 lite are basically the same device aside from the battery and camera. Possible 64bit pie port in the future?

But most of the ported ROM's have VOLTE troubles and UI issues. NFC isn't working good too. If a port from a phone which has nearly the same hardware and near stock experience, I think his question is valid and probably devs should consider this.
All ROMs will need to implement proper Bluetooth, NFC or fingerprint blobs to work properly. This also requires to flash stock Oreo before flashing any of Pie ROM. Volte issue is basically issue because of Persist partition. I am not sure about any issues with UI. Anyway ArrowOS from built released on 26/11 has already solved all issues and NFC for example works fine. I am using for last two days and so far nothing is wrong with it. You can't say A2 is same if it hasn't different camera for example. it might have other components or chips which differs. For example Moto Z Play (Addidson) has same components as potter except camera and anyone trying to flash ROM from it was bricking G5+. Also because of that there was never a possiblity to release an official Lineage.
It will surely be beneficial to us. Someone already ported Dirac and audio libs from MI A2 to potter for better overall sound quality.
