I'm wondering.
Since Samsung as of late have been focused on getting everything pushed to Lollipop, do you think we'll see some opinions about an update, or even rumor?
Maybe the full thing, who knows.
im interested too but...... i dont think its ever going to happen. samsung dont seem interested in the device at all anymore.
Given the cameras never even got KitKat it's very doubtful they will get Lollipop
If you ask this to Samsung, I expect them to say this:
"Galaxy Camera?"
"Isn't that that gimmick we released a couple of years ago?"
"An update to lollipop you say? Whahahahaha!"
"No."
But seriously: It never got past 4.1. I seriously doubt they would even consider this device for an update.
Samsung officialy stopped producing the K Zoom and put it EoL
so, no Lollipop or other updates anymore, even for exploit fixing
confirmed: no update
Galaxy camera 2 has stagefright!

If you can get a seasoned developer to work on it, sure. I set up a device tree for the GC200 at https://github.com/AWildColin/android_device_samsung_sf2wifi six months ago. I was trying to encourage some development on it (*cough* @Decad3nce *sneeze*) by getting a custom recovery working, but everything I built and flashed resulted in black screens and I never found a way to troubleshoot exactly what was causing that to happen.
Frankly, I'm not an experienced enough developer. Maybe with a lot more free time, I might get some where, but a custom recovery is still a far cry from a stable CyanogenMod ROM. You're welcome to try though. https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

If I'm not mistaken the GalCam1 and GalCamNX never were upgraded from 4.1, and the GalCamNX was an almost $2000 camera. So no, I don't anticipate that Samsung will upgrade to Lolipop.

Nope. The device tree is still on Github though if anyone wants to mess around.
we really need a Cyanogenmod rom for this camera desperately.. . what people dont seem to realise or care about for some strange reason, this camera has now a nunber of very serious security vulnerability that samsung has not addressed, it is so bad you should not connect to the internet with it.
im going to try to sell mine. pretty pissed with samsung, they never once realeases any security updtes for this camera!
So, paranoid Android is back and I as wondering if someone could port to our beloved LG G4. Preferably both the H815 and H811.

It's not even out yet for anyone and you are already asking for ports?
Jesus, chance is weeks and months will pass when someone decides to test is that possible and viable, considering bugs, battery drain, slowdowns, optimization, developer interest...
Just wait or, if you want to, try it out yourself.

Hah, my apologies for he hastiness of request. I didn't mean immediately , just when possible.
It's okay, I just don't want people to think porting is easy and quick job.
So what's the status on this? Will there be PA for G4 soon?
Any updates on this topic ?
The ROM seems to hold cool features.
OP3T still is on the March 1st security patch (2017-03-01), and is missing the fixes corresponding to 2017-03-05 patch (8 critical items of which at least 6 should be applicable to OP3T) and both 2017-04-01 and 2017-04-05 security patch levels (at least 1 huge critical item plus a lot of slightly smaller ones).

And?
That's nice, why tell us? Report it to OnePlus?...or use a custom rom where all the latest security updates are in place.
I don't really care because i think the phone is awesome, the price was awesome and the constant updates is absolutely amazing. But it is a bit bizarre i get 2 updates a month on the beta yet they can't for some reason include the latest security patches. Like why do something so well then slightly ruin it?

Yeah, obviously, much more sensible to direct a complaint about the stock rom to people who have nothing to do with OnePlus and can do nothing to solve it.

Security updates bring along bugs. That's why security patches aren't included in updates so often.
And do you really think someone is exploiting your data through these exploits.
Most exploits don't even concern anything remotely dangerous to data.
Even apps on playstore tend to theft data more then any exploit did till date.

Oxygen OS is the best ROM/OS I've ever used,
And was the main reason for me to choose a OP3T over others phones.
Sadly,nowadays custum roms brings more harm than good.

Best stock ROM out there, honestly. Closest to AOSP as you're going to find.
Aosp is boring. And as soon as oneplus 5 releases you can say bye bye to oos updates for the 3 and 3t. Better start getting used to custom ROMs if you want any future for your device. And oneplus has already stopped updating security patches. Custom ROM devs are much better with keeping up with everything. OOS doesn't even have 7.1.2 yet and I always see OOS users complaining about not having this or that feature or how they can get it. Which most custom roms have all of the features that everyone wants right of the bat. And if you really want a good aosp experience there are plenty of OOS based roms with lots of extra goodies out there. Like aosp extended or freedomos plus lots of others. OOS is basically just base bones with features that aren't even that useful and if you try to say that you can switch to dark mode and change accents then I say substratum. Which almost every ROM out there supports oms now. The way I see it is people who stick to stock are afraid of changing and tinkering with their device or just don't know how to. Bottom line is OOS is terrible best rom for this phone is resurrection remix hands down.

i used custom roms before the day you got you're first android phone and joined XDA.
Android gained maturity since marshmallow,
OOS has all the details missing from Stock android(wich is the best)
So you would like to believe. I know what I'm doing and have been modding since way before marshmallow. Your the type to complain to everyone here at xda when something goes wrong. I just fix out on my own. OOS sucks and that's that of you can't use a custom rom without problems then that's your not knowing what your doing.

I'd usually agree with you about custom Roms but RR is mature and truly is excellent and as good as if not better than OOS and is on April security with 7.1.2.
No doubt the custom ROMs are probably solid. But stock 7.1.1 oos (+beta) is the best stock ROM I have ever used. Fast, smooth, very close to asop with some nice tweaks. It matches the hardware nicely. It really should have up to date security patches. Maybe mention it to the couple of OnePlus guys on the forums, like @Funk Wizard @innocentwoolf
I'm guessing those guys are linked to OP, just from what I have seen, not for sure. Sorry if I'm mistaken guys.
As Android is further refined, there are fewer and fewer reasons to use a custom ROM for most users,custom ROMs will always be relevant to entry-level/midrange smartphone users, or those who still use older devices, that aren't receiving official updates from OEMs anymore.
Come on guys, the dude was escalating / highlighting something which is valid. but yeah, it should be escalated to OnePlus instead. Anyway, lets not be toxic to one another

I'm a newfag here, just bought my Nexus 10 a few weeks ago, and the only reason I'm still running Marshmallow is for the camera, which I need for school. I know that the camera doesn't work with Nougat or the new Oreo rom, but I was just wondering why? I always see [Camera not working, as usuall] but I always wonder why, and never see anyone ask, and have yet to find an answer. I appreciate any replies
Hi,
here is an explanation: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73952585&postcount=446
Hello Developers, fellow users. I am Sam and I'd like to point out something that has been happening everywhere for years but it gets ignored.
I've been using Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 since when it was released in India and I was a XDA member even before that! Previously I had a Samsung Galaxy flagship phone.
Guys, all we've been doing is chasing our tails. Let me tell you why I say this. It starts with using MiUi and getting bored, then eventually Stock Android/AOSP ROMs are made (Of course because of the hard work the developers put in). We use them, they work really good, and their bugs are fewer.
However, as soon as there's a "Newer Version" of Android released, everthing else is left in the dust and forgotten!
Here's what I want to ask anyone and everyone who would answer it......
Why do we chase something that isn't even released for our device? What's the rush?
It started with Marshmallow release.
There were good lollipop ROMs and Marshmallow did not come out for our device, but nevertheless, the process started. Okay, but by the time when some good Marshmallow ROMs were being made, Nougat gets released and all hell breaks loose, "AGAIN"!!! Once more, the process started. And again on the verge of having some good Nougat ROMs, "Oreo is released"? Please see the pattern here!!
Now, we know that Nougat might never be made available, officially, for kenzo.
My point is we haven't had a bug free ROM with good signals, ever!
Not in any version of Android!!
I urge the developers to consider, even partnering up, for making a good and bug free "Marshmallow ROM", Nougat Rom before moving on to OREO

Bored of MIUI is the basis for discussion? I'm in support of all devs I'm happy the way they progressed starting from Marshmallow & now we have stable Nougat where as Xiaomi is abandoning older devices.
Regarding the network strength there's not a huge difference between MIUI & Custom roms imo.
You have two choices try taking this to the next level of Xiaomi executives or never buy MI devices.

1. The basis of this discussion is, actually, the love for stock Android. Not only we get bored of MiUi but also by using TouchWiz, Flyme etc. Okay!!
2. No we don't have stable ROMs yet, not really!!
3. It's strategy to abandon older devices that Xiaomi also follows, nothing odd about it!
So, in short,
I thank thou for your UNvaluable inputs here!!
I think AOSIP by shrisurya is almost complete nougat ROM with best signals and stability.RR,nitrogen,los are pretty strong ones too,so no problem in focusing on developing Oreo ones.just a rookie's thought.

I would rather ignore you at this point but let me answer :
> If you love stock android that's k but bored of MIUI? Do you have a life or just keep staring at your phone lmao, if you give valid reasons like performance, battery life etc that's acceptable.
> We don't have stable roms yet? all Nougat roms are stable for usage in real life i.e. Network, Battery life, No lags or FCs , Theme support, Security patches etc
> Are you talking about strategy with me? Kid, in this case a device that has millions of users and had success there's a lot more to expect in terms of software updates. Abandoning a device with such popularity just after a year is a terrible decision.

Nougat ROMs are already plenty stable. Never experienced any bugs with the ROM I'm using for about 2 months now. Signal quality is the same with MIUI on mine. Using Desolation ROM by the way.
I think the 'Geek' in you is sleeping, you just need to wake him up and you will get the answer to your question.
This is positive post, No offence offered to anyone guys!!

Yeah 5.9 build of AoSIP is good for signals not much else though! None of the rest, i.e. including the newer version of the AoSIP, are even comparable with Global Stock Rom for kenzo!

You're aware that people have their own choices right, also most of us are here because, even if we don't hate/get bored of Miui, We at least don't like/prefer MiUi as much, which includes you too!

To be fair, your thread is actually pointless/stupid. It's just ranting. You claim there are no stable Nougat, yet there are a lot here that says otherwise. Your definition of stable is suspect here. Probably, stable = perfect.
It's easy to check if signal strength really is better in MIUI. Flash MIUI, put your phone down somewhere then take note of the signal strength(dbm and asu not the signal bar) with several second intervals for several minutes(until you're satisfied) then do the same for the other ROM you want. Mine showed no difference. The only thing better with MIUI was camera quality.
I am using Nitrogen OS nougat for quite some time now, and I must say it's totally stable, never faced any problem till now. And I have even compared the dBm and asu with miui roms, and there's no difference practically, and there's no call drops or poor call quality issues also. You can definitely give it try, I don't know what else you mean by stable.
