hi, just curious did anyone faced this ? after the latest security patch update for Nougat my available device memory increased from 26g -> 29G
good for me.. just checking with others
patch - 5 june 2017
android 7.1.1

It did for us too, but I guess your used storage would have gone up too, so at the end available is still the same. Isn't it.

no because earlier only 26g was available for user data..now its 3gb more..i had a gig before update and now its 4+gb after update..

How can I update Android security level on a custom ROM?

Hi, I have a Nexus 6P with a "MegaPixel" rom running on v7.1.1 and the security patch is at Dec 5, 2016
I just got a notification of an update. I tapped install and it just restarted the phone to recovery (TWRP). I rebooted back to system and the notification disappeared.
I tried to check for update but it showed nothing, and the Security patch is still at Dec 5, 2016.
The kernel I am currently running is ElementalX kernel. And yes, it updated to support Feb 2017 security patch.
On another topic, my battery life is ****, and this is the main reason I changed ROM and kernel but it didn't help by much(I am talking about 2.5 screen on time with 50%-70% brightness)
Thanks from advanced
Hi... Just look in the thread of MegaPixel... But it seems like last update was released in December 2016. You can't get last security patch if the dev doesn't update his ROM. You'll have to wait for an update or switch to another one.
As for battery life. It really depends on how you use use your phone. There are a lot of threads which aim to help with battery. I invite you to start reading the forum a little bit, I'm sure you'll find some tweaks to improve it.

February updates are live

Updates are live, installing on Pixel XL, but zero information about the fixes or improvements on Google Bulletin. It says no Pixel security fixes this time included, no information about new features or other fixes too. So only general Android security fixes this time I guess.
Announcements
There are no Pixel security patches in the February 2019 Pixel Update Bulletin.
Functional patches
All Pixel devices running Android 9 will receive an Android 9 update as part of the February OTA. This quarterly release contains many functional updates and improvements to various parts of the Android platform and supported Pixel devices.
Does anyone already received the OTA ?

I manually installed on Monday afternoon. All went well. Flashed factory images (retained data). Booted TWRP to flash Magisk. Only nuance was that new version of Magisk was released at about the same time, so had to play around with that for a bit. Standard monthly upgrade. No surprises. All seems to be running well.
I'm on magisk but I haven't receive the OTA even when pushing the button. With magisk shouldn't I still get the notification (manual or not) ?? I know that installing it with magisk is a whole different thing... I always install full otas manually via twrp, but I would like to install a ota with the magisk method... too much time consuming when doing via twrp

Strange: System is up to date - Android 8.1.0!

I realized that my A1 did not ask me to update for a couple of weeks, maybe even 2 months.
As was busy, it did not bother me ...
When checking for updates now, I see:
Your System is up to date
Android 8.1.0,
Security Patch level: 5 January 2019
Any I idea why I am no longer offered to update?

It could be because of any modifications made to your device, however you can still flash new Android 9 (Pie) with Miflash. Many people also say it is better to stay on Oreo because of stability and camera quality.
Another solution to get Pie update is to use VPN and clear data of some applications (I don't remember which ones).
That's the reason (cmaera, xposed ..) I decided to stay with Android 8.1.
Besides Magisk there are no modifications ...
Thanks!
That's wierd. The last Oreo version for Mi A1 is on November security patch.
Well, in any case, would be enough with cleaning "Google Play Services' cache.
All times I got a delay in software updates from Xiaomi for MiA1, this solved the problem (happened to me twice).
Just to be clear, this isn't related to Google Play apps.

Did you restarted device after that?
You remind me that I had to reboot after cleaning GP Services, then searched for update manually. I forgot to mention that, my fault.
If that doesn't solve your problem, I feel this is related to a completely different reason. Just in case, check time and date/location to be set by provider instead of manual.
However, the procedure I recommended to you usually works and I found it in another thread around here, perhaps there are other methods to reach software update correctly.

Even GP-Services Clear Data and reboot does not change anything!
In general the phone is working fine ...
After all you have done I have to ask you this: are you sure you are holding a Mi A1? Because the January 2019 security patch comes with Pie not Oreo, the last patch for Oreo is on November 5 2018.

Yes! I am talking about my Xiaomi A1.
The Build Number is: OPM1.171019.026.V9.6.8.0.ODHMIFE and
the Android Security Patch level: 5 January 2019
I am aware that it does not match ...
The last update I did was on Jan 10th, using XiaomiFlash.
The image I used was: tissot_images_V9.6.8.0.ODHMIFE_20181031.0000.00_8.0_9ea450fe98

Whoah, that's strange. In your case I would make a clean flash of stock oreo ROM and it should fix it.

Maybe something has altered the security patch date and cause the update engine to go haywire, because that build number is definitely from the November security patch.
Agreed, a clean flash with should fix it .
Not sure if Oreo or Pie is better for me (camera, xposed, tasker ...)
Still it remains a mystery what happened ...

If youre talking about stock experience - Oreo is better, but I tried Gcam on stock Pie and got incredible results. Also installed Magisk with one module which enables 1080p 60 FPS.
Which camera for PIE are you using? Does it support all the 3 lenses?
Currently I am using https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/cfiles/gcm1/GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk. which supports all 3 ...

New updates 11.0.7.0 are available

A new update is coming to my Note 7 today.
It is 1.9gb
Is it android 10?
What is new?
- Android security patch February 2020
- App lock for all apps
Does it need 1.9 GB?
I've got mine one week ago and it was just 200MB. The thing i've noticed is that the 48mpx camera is fixed.
Why so large? Is it android 10? I got the notification, but don't want to update just yet.
No, it's just an update with February security patch. I guess this is not just an incremental OTA, but the whole ROM, that's why it is so heavy. I've installed it and I haven't noticed any new bugs.
