No way!

I'm a bit confused. Does anyone know if we get an OTA 5.0 rom provided by OnePlus or a CM12(s) rom? Or does that info come on 12 februari?

We should get a CM 12S ROM via OTA. The newly announced ROM is for places like India where cyanogen and oneplus have have been having issues with agreements. It will most likely be available for all for download though.

Good cause a big reason I bought this phone was to have cyanogen as stock ROM.

We can probably stick with whatever ROM you're using and you'll get OTA for it. But if you're already on CM and want to switch, I assume you'll need to flash OP's ROM before you can get OTA from them. I don't think there will be a CM -> OP ROM migration path.

Definitely not.

Let's see if they do what they say.

They've leaked some screenshots of OxygenOS, nothing too exciting--just the app drawer and weather app.

If that screenshots are real and that will be the official OxygenOS appearence, i will bet all in CM12s. At first looks, it's ugly IMO.

Ugly? I like it, but I liked MIUI too

This is not a good start, hopefully only an early concept... Or that is all customizable...

Can't really tell that much from the pics to be honest. Im guessing you could probably use nova and an icon pack if things dont look that nice. Plus in the pics it looks like the hardware buttons are being used, would like to see the dock and nav buttons. Will probably being going with the one in the video below anyway this, guessing that this is CM12S as it looks a lot more like stock 5.0.

The kernel information says cyanogenmod so i think this video is a teaser of the upcomming CM12(s) rom. They have edited the description of the movie because it said oxygenos first.

Google picking up a feature from EMUI in upcoming Nougat 7.1 release

Google plans to introduce a new gesture to open the notification shade using the fingerprint in Android 7.1 release
You’ll be able to swipe down your finger on the fingerprint sensor to pull down the notification shade, and swipe up to close it.
Devices like those made by Huawei or its brand Honor has this feature implemented already. But it's interesting that Google will be picking it up as a Nougat feature.
In the animation, we can see that it works. Just swipe down on the scanner, and your notification tray will descend.

Like Apple now learning from Android a lot, different Androids learn from each other as well.
But I'm never a gesture person... I don't use gestures at all..

I agree, it is a feature that all should adapt, makes life much easier with single hand handling..
funny, I have an honor 8, but can't seem to activate this feature. Is there any settings to it? or is mine faulty

I dont have Honor 8. I use it in my 5X.
I dont see any setting to enable that in my 5X.
Swiping up, down, left and right works well with any fingerprint and is not restricted to the registered fingerprint.

Annoying feature which makes me swipe it down by mistake when touching the sensor. Feature off at all times.

Wow. I hope to see this in AOSP based ROMs soon.

VZW Note 8 System Update

My Verizon Note 8 just received an update as we hit midnight Aug 15th EST.

I just got it and it is installing as I type. Fingers crossed they didn't bork a valuable setting in the original build....

I don't see much. It didn't add 4k video at 60 fps.

Did it change the down homescreen swipe to pull the notification shade down? I'm using Nova now but still.
PS - I do not trust Verizon.

I can't find any changes so far. And the link for what the update contains is broken.

No clue what it does, but I'm updating now..

Screenshot? What's the new build number after update?

According to someone in the Sprint thread its for Google Maps/Navigation stability and fixes.

That it does. It has to do with navigation and swipe. Nothing big.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

It's a really big security patch for one of the largest Android vulnerabilities too. I'm glad it enhances swipe, the samsung keyboard is particularly inaccurate on this phone.

Does NOT patch BlueBorne Vulnerability!!!!
Installed the update this morning. It does NOT eliminate the BlueBorne vulnerability, unless Armis' scanner is broken ...
EDIT: Contacted Armis and received the following in response:
Armis Security said:
We have reviewed this. It appears that Verizon pushed a critical update that addresses BlueBorne. However, in our review they did not change the security patch level of this build to September 1, 2017. The Security Patch Level (SPL) in build NMF26X.N950USQU1AQI5 shows a date of August 1, 2017.
We have updated our device scan and review to account for this, and it will be available on the Google Play store shortly.
Thank you for reaching out us on this issue.

EDIT #2: An updated version of the BlueBorne Scanner from Armis is available on Google Play. I've installed it, but unfortunately it still indicates that VZW devices are vulnerable.
UPDATE: Armis' app has been updated to version 1.04, which correctly identifies VZW Note 8s as having been patched to eliminate the vulnerability.

It changed my 4GLTE icon so that it is constantly highlighted even on Wi-Fi. I don't think that was present before unless I'm mistaken

Just got it yesterday and also turned it onto this this morning. The OTA's on my S7 Active over on AT&T completely and eventually thrashed my phone and was eventually unusable. So I'm waiting.

Yeah I've been using swiftkey for years and moved to g board. I always give the default a chance. So we will se how long this lasts. Is the s pen cheaper and lighter then they used to be?

Yes and a bunch of other cool features and ure from google.

I'm glad switching keyboards got easier on these phones at least. I'm using swiftkey beta and it's much better than the past. Better than gboard for me. But I like bixby for voice transcription.

Honor beta testers recruitment for Nougat and Above- official form India only

Hi Folks,
Sharing the good news about the honor beta testers recruitment. Got this Google form for the same through trusted channels and is prepared by our fellow member Abhishek @amulbaby on XDA. A big thanks to him in putting his efforts in preparing this form.
Did someone just say EMUI 6.0 :fingers-crossed:

As the image gives a glimpse (also prepared by Abhishek), It is for Android Nougat upcoming updates and above so we can expect the Oreo update, though I am not confirming anything about it but we can expect this (at least)
Form includes below devices so wish we get for all of them, at least future Nougat bug fix updates and security updates if not Oreo.
Honor 5C
Honor 6X
Honor 8
Honor 8 Lite
Honor 8 Smart
Honor 8 Pro
Fill out the form and Enjoy.

Title updated as this form is limited to India only. Will check more on this and confirm.
Even though limited to India but as India variant may get the update, we can wish others will get as well.
So others can fill as well, it wont harm anything

rip india only.... but atleast they will port it then to other variants also 5c is in list so it will most likely get it right? also lastest 5c update kinda make apps unstable, randomly just shuts down like once in a week.... not big issue but if you do banking and stuff its kinda annoying....

WHERE IS THE N9860 ONE UI 3.1 UPDATE?

Now that Samsung has officially announced the release of the 3.1 update for the Note 20 series (Sammobile), let's have a competition for who can guess most accurately when the first region of our N9860s will get it.
I'll start off. Let's hope I am being pessimistic.

I'm guessing March 26.

By the end of the this month we all get it..... In my dreams

Man thats the only thing i was looking forward too, was the google feed toggle because samsung free is so booty. But sadly looks like thats only gonns be exclusive to the new phones that come out this year for now smh.

If only gestures worked perfectly, right now it's a quick flashing every time you swipe to go home when using Google gestures.
You don't get the flashing if you wait around 1-2 second before touching the screen after swiping home.

I don't know, I don't use gestures.

Its live now guys 3.1

Yep, stuck at verifying phone number but I remember I had the same problem on 3.0 and then it fixed by itself later..
Let's see if same thing will happen. I got snapdragon.

Gotta say the phone feels much smoother again. There were always some hick ups with 3.0 for me even after factory reset.
Now it feels just like 2.5 where everything is smooth and this is without factory reset. I would recommend everyone to update.

After many days trying to verify the number, rcs works for me now.
It's the same when I updated to 3.0, took few weeks or something and then it just magically activated and works.
