Wi-Fi certification shows S7 got Wi-Fi certification today with Android Pie 9.0 that means we'll see official 9.0 update soon. Since these devices has same processor with Note FE it was expected but now we have official proof that it's coming.
You can check certificates here.

I'm still upset over the trick T-Mobile pulled with the s6 but let's hope this isn't another flop.
Edit: It is another flop

It’s still unlikely the Galaxy S7 will be treated to Android 9.0 Pie
No, it still doesn’t look like the Samsung Galaxy S7 will receive Android 9.0 — even though the handset was seemingly certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance running the firmware on Thursday. In fact, that very same listing was later amended and the supporting documentation was withdrawn, hinting it was nothing more than an internal mistake, as corroborated by the fact we’ve seen no traces whatsoever of Samsung developing the firmware for the three-year-old device in recent months.
After some deliberating, we managed to formulate a scenario that could have occurred at Wi-Fi Alliance’s HQ, which would have led to the inaccurate listing tricking into its extensive database. The Galaxy S7 was assigned the model number SM-G930F, while the Galaxy Xcover4 is identified as SM-G390F; the latter received certification for Android 9.0 Pie a mere matter of hours after the certification for the former was retracted — suggesting there was some sort of internal mix up.

Samsung hires Android hacker ‘Cyanogen’

Samsung hires Android hacker ‘Cyanogen’
While some device vendors are stockpiling patents, others are hunting down talent, as competition in the mobile handset space heats up. It was revealed this week that Samsung Mobile has hired one of the homebrew market’s most notorious and successful Android hackers, Steve ‘Cyanogen’ Kondik.
Kondik is best known as the creator of the CyanogenMod for Android, an after market customized firmware bringing new features and functionality to the Android platform.
There’s no information yet on whether Samsung is interested in CyanogenMod, or more in Kondik himself, but the programmer and hacker has said the move will allow him to use his talents in “the real world,” while development of CyanogenMod continues as usual.
The Cyanogen firmware caters to more than 40 different Android devices and brings such functionality as native theming, Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), an OpenVPN client, USB tethering, and claims increased performance and reliability over official firmware releases. Kondik has on occasion received input from Google on the development of the platform and as of mid-July it had been downloaded and installed on more than half a million devices.
we already been over this..
sammy n cm7 goes hand in hand

If you're a Samsung Galaxy S3 user in Canada and you still haven't gotten around to using that leaked Android 4.2.2 firmware from a few days ago, an official software update released earlier today might just be the next best thing.
According to a recent report published online at Mobile Syrup, a new software update has been pushed out for users of the Galaxy S3 through Kies as well as through over-the-air (OTA) download channels. This software update is a rather small one, but still useful in that it introduces a few much-needed improvements. The update is said to offer improved download speeds when using HSPA+ network coverage and the still-ongoing E911 dialing issue that's being affected by the usage of third-party VoIP apps.
Users who have already updated their phones to the new software — which is tagged as Android 4.1.2, version MVLDMF1 — also say that Multi-window support is now available, and responsiveness has also been improved when it comes to navigating the Gallery.
To get in on this software update, either get it through Kies or simply start the OTA update procedure. The update is currently available for users under Bell, Fido, Koodo, MTS, Rogers, and TELUS.

I don't know... I post this because update is released... They said so...
Probably a certain Candian carrier that's been stuck with 4.0.4 up until now.

Is Android Wear version Independent of Android Phone version?

I have a Verizon Note 4 that is on 4.4.4. I just received an Asus Zenwatch that is failing to update to Android Wear 5.0.2 due to this error: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenwatch/help/unable-to-update-zenwatch-t2981611). However, Wear support is saying the Wear version is tied to to the phone version. I thought they were independent as the watch is running its own self-contained version of Android.
So basically, am I right and is the Wear support people not understanding me, or are they actually correct and I'm at the mercy of Verizon to update the Note 4 to Lollipop in order to get AW 5.0.2?
Your info is false. I currently have a Samsung Note Edge running 4.4.4 and my LG G Watch R is running 5.0.2 , works great.
Thats my point. Google Support keeps telling me the watch has to match the OS on your phone instead of knowing its an update issue with a batch of Zenwatches. But thanks for confirming my suspicions.

Would this work with my moto 360? I was going to buy a new phone as mine is kit Kat unless there is a way to update the watch. How did you update yours?

new Nexus 6p update fixes 810 performance problems

According to https://plus.google.com/+FranciscoFranco1990/posts/dXBtugbiy2A (by the author of Franco's kernel)
Not only its performance has improved due to numerous changes in the framework + Kernel, it proves the so much criticised Snapdragon 810 runs beautifully and cold as **** when the software implementation is right. An un****able Android version without OEM/carrier **** or ridiculous UI **** ups, with proper tuning (Marshmallow really did up its game when setting up different tasks to sets of cpus as I explained earlier).

do you think these patches be ported to OPT ?
If so then Francisco is the guy to do it, his involvement seems to be quite official too as Adam Krisko (The community manager for OnePlus) seems to have been the one who supplied Francisco with a nice new OnePlus 2 and a OnePlus X :

Since the official Marshmallow version is out for the OnePlus 2 this month (quite possibly the X also), it could be coming with a kernel supplied by Francisco, most likely with the optimisation you mentioned. (It's more likely they will try to release the official Marshmallow with Franco also releasing his kernel around the same time).
Which, in my book, is ALL good. Our phone could finally be becoming the "Flagship killer" it was meant to be.

The S7 Nougat beta ends with PK4 build. You also get Graze UX along with Android 7.0 build. Wondering how long it will take before update hits as final version.

Right, let's hope there aren't many, like the Pixel and Nexus users have to face with. After all, Samsung has taken too much time preparing. Even the Moto G4 Nougat beta came out way before the today's beta for S7.
Please share the Rom! Extract after download.
