Android 8.0 Offical Release Date scheduled for August 21st - Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion

The rumors are true! Android 8.0.0 will officially launch on August 21st along with the day of the solar eclipse.
Information regarding the countdown can be located on the official android site at : https://www.android.com/eclipse/

Yes, old news and just two threads down from yours
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/evan-blass-pixel-o-week-august-21st-t3656083
I like your thread title better though.

It has been confirm by evan blast that it will be OREO

Will this just be an announcement or does the official release date mean that we will get images and OTAs on the same day, or maybe on the September security patch day?

From what I know, the countdown is when they will reveal Android O and push the OTAs, although the OTAs may be delayed due to update delays and such.

CyanogenMod 9 (ICS) slated for a January release

It looks like work has officially started on the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Cyanogenmod as per a Twitter post last Tuesday.
It's slated for a January release, so something to look forward to after coming down from the Christmas/New year celebrations

Link is wrong, has http:// twice!
Oh god, can't wait! But don't forget, as someone pointed out in the comments: it just says "check back", not "CM9 will be finished" in january - could be a beta release.
I honestly dont think he was being specific about a release date

True, but going off past releases hopefully it wont be too far off.
2.2 SDK was released May 2010, and a RC of CM6 came out in early July 2010.. stable by August.
2.3 SDK was released early December 2010, RC of CM7 was released mid Feb.

Yes but Google changed how the source code was released with ICS. No longer are they adding the needed device library files. Those have to be built from scratch or provided by the devices manufacturer

Next Android Security Patch Release?

Although I've lost track of when exactly they were pushed out by Lenovorola, I seem to recall my MotoX PE getting a November, then February, security patch and the "latest" May 2016 was pushed around July 20th... If that pattern (pushing out every 3rd Google release ~ 10 weeks later) holds true, might we see the August patch pushed later this month? Or will any more 6.0 patches be skipped in light of the future 7.x upgrade (whenever that may be)?
One of the reasons why I'm sticking with CM. they are on Oct. 5th security patch while the normal stock ROM is far behind

I hear you... One of the reasons I bought a Nexus 5X in June when the price dropped. But looking at my MotoX since then reminds me it's otherwise a better phone imho (VoLTE works fine for me on TMo).
Question: I assume you had to unlock your bootloader to root and run CM ? If so, can you relock in that state? I had to unroot and flash stock multiple times before I was finally able to relock... I could be completely wrong, but I would think the benefit of timely, monthly security updates is outweighed by an unlocked bootloader and root access?
According to a twitter reply from Moto Support, they ditched even the quarterly security update.
" We're implementing essential patches.As new security issues emerge, we will evaluate them and update your phone as needed.-Maya"
Evaluating, means they may or may not release security patches so do not hold your breath for an August updated. Yet, Moto Support on twitter was very quick to reply the first inquiry. I encourage everyone to contact them with questions @Moto_Support Let them know or demands!

Oreo for Mi A¹ ?

Anyone having idea when oreo will be released for our device? Confirmation from Google?
December 2017
Company has said to provide update before 2018 so we can expect during half of December maybe???
I thought it'll be on November? Now it's moved go December? That's sad. And they haven't released the kernel sources too.
We have not even gotten the november security patch yet

Security roll out post 15th of the month. So we may receive it in week or so.

I Think Oreo Update Is Eminent Cuz of recent Security Patches

I don't know about anyone else but I have gotten 3 back to back security updates in the past 24 hours to bring my ph up to the April 2018 patch level. Before this, it had been months since I'd gotten a security patch.
I speculate its a pre-req for the Oreo update because I just bought my daughter the Moto X4 this week & the 1st thing that occurred out of the box, is that it got 3 consecutive security patches to bring it up to the March patch level & only then did the Oreo update show up immediately after that.
This is all pure speculation on my part but based on some recent events that don't add up unless they are about to push out the Oreo update.
What do you guys think?
I was surprised to receive the April patch this morning. I really hope they're pushing the Oreo
i think so also man.. because to get march and april so quick..something is up!
Lets see what they are up to.. as we are now in Q2
I would doubt that the security patches mean anything other than the Android Security Team pushed out an extra patch.
Honor release Oreo for 7x.. i think next One It s Honor 8 ?
They're also updating their Huawei Backup app with a newer UI.
I haven't received any updates since Feb, B361, L02 anyone else in India got the security patches for April?
I was thinking this also. I hope it means that for true.
B405 out on FF, just security patches, so...

May patch, if someone interested.
well i am thinking opposite they may be clearing up the queue of the updates towards the end of line
I really hope we will get Oreo and Project Treble, that would most likely mean we could get some more stable ROMs on our phone
Oreo Oreo oreoooo!
Well this seems promising:

I dunno. My phone still sits on B394 with august 2017 security updates. And it's bought officially. Go figure.

Leaks suggest August 20th release date of Official Android P

Leaks suggest that August 20 2018 Google will release Official Android P.. name is still unclear but it will be the name of a dessert (treat) starting with P.
Last few Android major releases were all released at about this time in August, so this makes sense. Then we will get a .1 bump when Pixel 3 is released in November.

If I remember rightly Oreo was released on 21st so makes probably would call this leak legit
Seems about right. Google said it would be released in the 3rd quarter and last year Android O was released August 21st.
Official Android p is coming this month signs of release
Now I've been paying attention to Google I know every month on the 5th Google releases a security patch update well I believe that Augusts security patch will only be included in the official Android p update coming later this month on the 20th..
