Android 6 aka Marshmallow - G3 General

Android named 6 version as Marshmallow as I thought. If LG does the same think like Lollipop we will see Android 6 for G3 soon as 3rd and final preview released today.

I really hope that they will give us an official bootloader unlock with this

I don't have much hope about that but let's wait and see.

The only thing which concerns me is the time when we will receive it. Beside that we will get official 6.0 update why we wouldn't?

some blogs report is already avaiable the unlock of LG G3 bootloader with bump! i dont know if is the real method or not but i dont see it anywhere!
about having the Android 6, i think only about february or march next year! Because now we have the G4 first to receive it.

People will riot to LG building in Korea if they wait till next year for Android 6. 5.0 for G3 is so buggy.

Bump is not official and I have many problem with it, that's why I want an official way to unlock it directly from lg like for the LG G4: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev

That's all we want. We must get Android 6 as soon as Google release it. There were 3 preview builds so what do really do LG software department anyway. They get money like US gets oil from middle east(lol), so what are they doing with all that money? Hire talented developers and make updates rain.
If Nexus devices had enough battery like 3000, i wouldn't lick LG's backpack for updates anyway.

to be honest I never liked LG's software development. I always believed in developers here on XDA. In my opinion LG is making powerful hardware, this is why I will stick to LG int he future, but they not tailor the OS perfectly to the device. I always liked more Stock modded softwares.

Is there any release date for 6.0 in general? Or that last dev/preview build is like RTM for Windows?

We won`t get anything this year guys. Lets be realistic. Google said M will be ready "later this fall". So we can expect it maybe in October. LG G4 will be first with the update, rolling out in December just as
G3s last years Lollipop update. I am guessing for Q1 2016 (earliest) if we get the update at all

I bet we won't get any official bootloader unlock, nor android marshmallow before january '16.

I have decided to go back to Nexus next time. Not for the latest shiny widget but to ensure I get security updates ASAP and not 1 year after my phone has retired.
I like my LG G3 but that I have to live with well documented and exploited security holes for almost a year is ridiculous.
In this case I suspect it is as much LGs fault as it also would be my carriers who insists on retesting everything for x weeks.
Nexus 5 or 6 2015 edition, bring it on

Android 5.0 Lollipop by the end of 2014

It seems we are lucky. The G3 will get the 5.0 lollipop update by the end of the year:
http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_to_re...ipop_update_by_the_end_of_2014-news-10031.php
Well probably from my experience with the G2 in regards to kitkat the Korean G3 will get it first, then some international variants, then U.S. I would guess the U.S. would probably get it in Feb or March.
Thanks for the great news :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Great news !
Wow. That's amazing. Google should do this with every release of android. Give them a base before official release so when its official we don't have to wait forever for updates
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
I think that's why google did it. They've also been gradually giving more access to the manufacturers earlier in return for less bloat and skinning of stock android.
I think that is the main reason lg idnt really jumping to 4.4.4. It would really be a waste of time and would simply delay the 5.0 update even further. Sure we wait longer for the patch but at least we get the latest in term of software instead of sitting on 4.4.4 even longer

I think that is something no onr can answer yet. I personally do believe lg will fix the exploit. So better to root and wait for a 5.0 rom

If you want to keep ur unlocked bootloader as well as root, then don't take any new LG updates. It is very likely that both will be lost on the next software iteration.
Don't keep your hopes up

I had to incrementally update my LG G3 400k from Version 10g to F400k10t .. The last update in Korea was about 130MB.. not much of a difference but I also managed to root with PurpleDrake.. Easy as 123
I forgot to mention that the speed is awesome , after the update
verizon customers will get their Android 5.0 Lollipop April of 2015 at the very earliest. LG G4 might be released before the update for LG G3.
everyone else will get it first
just my personal experience with Verizon HTC Thunderbolt, Nexus, S3, Note 2, LG G2.
It would be amazing if we get it before 2015, custom ROM development is going slow.

Well it looks like Sony's just getting started on 5.0.
They're still sorting out bugs and issues with 4.4.4.
Software development is Sony's most notable weak point. They take way too long to get their kit out. Nothing new there.
Pretty impressive from LG but considering they launched their full software suit months ago with the G3, all they have to do is update the core android platform. Same story with Samsung and HTC but Sony launched its complete software for this year in September and are still polishing it up. Android L is still months away unfortunately!

Yea you have to wade a bit for info, but just sort by newest and do a ctrl F for anything you're interested in.

90 days after Lollipop release, we will have CM12S out :laugh: ha NOT.
This sucks, but going on 5 months now, and still no official Lollipop for the OnePlus One. 5 freaking months already, and no release yet
The most annoying thing is that I moved from Samsung 'cause updates there take ages... Now they have Lollipop before us... Unbelievable....
We've been tricked! Lol we get what we pay for. Were paying low price for a high end device so dont expect on time releases.
Sent from my OnePlus One via Tapatalk
It's a business decision. If it makes sense revenue wise to get updates to users earlier then that is what is expect.
To be fair most companies slip up here.
And it's not hard to get cm12 but I agree that an official release would be nicer.
I'm still excited about both options they are going to provide.

They want just to skip next Android M Or 5.X next release saying it is supported for 2yrs... 5 months after lollipop release and they have people which trusted them in their selfish arses...
This makes me wonder why my transition from Nexus 4 not the Nexus 6, but this device? Apart from cheaper price, it's not great and can't compare in any flagship in any way.
With low price, I paid for very bad support (ghost screen is unresolved) and unconditionally delayed OS updates.

G4 get 2017 april like G3 MM
I think N sounds like the best version since 4.4.
I wouldn't hold my breath for long to wait, I think it will not come fast to G4 due to the great number of variants and G5/V10 that will probably receive it first.

android N might be the last update for G4
tried it on xperia z3 beta version, overhaul of the notification system looked good
Usually flagships get 2 major Android releases. I think G4 will get N but it will be the last major update and it will come after G5/V10 get theirs. There is always the possibility that LG will change plans. Unless LG mke an official announcement of the phones getting N we will never know.
Agreed. It will probably come - but I think it won't come soon.
Hopefully they give us X.X.1 instead of X.0.0 like Android M ):
We will get N for sure... It's just a matter of when..... 99% sure we won't get it in 2016.... Q1 or Q2 of 2017 most likely.......
keep in mind that N is coming a few months earlier than usual... end of the year is more likely, depends on version/location...
and btw I don't think V10 will get it before G4
How about unlocking bootloader instead... LG has abandoned us G4 users.

I do hardly believe that Moto X style/pure might get N but there is no official news about it...

Voted no only because I'm doubtful we'll get it officially, but as the other people have said... custom roms bro.
I think it will get 7.0 by the end of the year. It got 6.0 pretty fast, and is still pretty much the flagship of Motorola. People just lost hope because of the ignored 6.0.1 update. I'm hoping to switch back to a Nexus anyway so I don't have to worry about updates anymore.

Being one of the few devices on official android site I think means we're getting 7.0 pretty soon

That site has been mentioned before... It has nothing to do with Nougat, just Android in general. The fact it appears there is not relevant.

But is it still a flagship with the new Moto Z's coming out? Way things have gone with Lenovo I'd not put money on it BUT never say never.
Well, if they abandon any real support for this phone in one year, I won't be coming back to Lenovo/Motorola. I'll just have to decide if expandable memory is still a deal maker/breaker with the next gen and go Nexus or something else.

Agreed!
Android 7 will be there!!!
With X-Style there aren't any technical/hardware issue or even a minor reason for not supporting the Android 7. So with this the liability of providing or not providing Android 7 will be with Motorola (Lenovo). Providing with Latest Android version being a USP of Moto phones, there is very chance that they will not risk reputation with this phone by excluding the update.
In-case this is not done for some reason then my steps would be:
1) Root and install Android 7 rom.
2) Buy a new Nexus phone.
3) Collect Invoice of all my Moto phone (Namely: Moto G (8gb), Moto G (16gb), Moto E (4gb), Moto G3, Moto G Turbo, Moto X Style).
4) Submit the collected Invoice plus the nexus invoice to Motorola with update as why they lost a loyal customer.
*Infact I was planing this for the delayed patch, and made my disappointment by tweeting the same to motorola. Were they assured me of early notification of update.*
[rant] motorola sucks/how to kill a perfectly good device
Motorola/Lenovo service has been horrible both in replacing defective hardware and with software updates even though they committed to timely release! They will probably at some point release Nougat on this device but really how long will it take (see where we are with MM updates!!) ? And as far as custom roms are concerned we're seeing so little developper activity for this device that I think everyone has already moved on! This was my first non-Nexus device in a long while and I'm not eager to duplicate the experience. It's really too bad as I really liked the Moto X pure. :crying:
Ffs these threads need to stop. Yes the Moto x pure 2015 will get 7. IT WILL TAKE TIME release of n is rolling out give it a few months

The ZTE Axon 7 looks a lot like the X Pure, except with software support. They announced that they will be assisting Cyanogenmod.
