Will this phone die after Android Q? - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

As mentioned in question, Android Q is the last official update that company will provide for device. I own Pocophone F1 and was wondering if there will be custom ROMs for Essential Ph or it will stay at android 10 forever. Thank you

There is no real way to determine that honestly. If this is anything like the Nexus, then I'm sure it'll go past Android 10. Nexus 6p official 8.1, but custom ROMs 9.0.

Why?
Exynos variants can only get TW roms due to the source not being open. Snapdragon variants could but they have locked bootloader so not possible at the moment.

People should be reverse engineering exynos as a time will come where samsung will only use exynos in the future. I'm actually amazed they haven't fully switched to tizen for phones but I'm sure that will also happen

I have the Exynos version. Can someone please explain in detail, why I can't get it? I don't really understand, as I can see people making new roms for the s7. And, is there anyway to port/take the things and make a miui rom?
Making TouchWiz roms is just modding them.
Full custom roms like miui and cm need a source to work from to make drivers etc. No such source has been released from Samsung for the exynos. This is why there has always been cm on snapdragon as the source code is released for that as Sammy doesn't own snapdragon chips.
Hope this is clear. It's not hardout detail but it's the jist of it.

I had used a HTC One M7 three years back or so and fell absolutely in love with changing roms etc to suit my needs. Went back to my iPhone after that and have now shifted back to S7 Edge. I was unaware of all this source code etc and thought the modding scene would be the same. But here I am, stuck with a stupid TW od Sammy. Such a beautiful device and I cant unlock all its power. I feel like I am still using iOS as I cant modify my phone.
Planning on selling my S7E for something more open like a OP3.
I'd love this! Miui is far more pleasurable to use than the TW rom currently installed.. It makes me sad that the S7 is so locked up. Rip aosp && sammy <\3
hence why im selling the s7 and getting the alcatel idol 4s..cant beat the price and its gorgeous design
Even if it is fully unlocked.. MIUI patchrom only supports kitkat, S7 edge comes preloaded with Marshmallow so we have no drivers for kitkat.
Until they release MIUI 8 patchrom with MM base we can't do a lot. And even when they will do that, editing smali files + fixing bugs will take "some" time too.
Note 4 has MIUI patchrom cause it's first android was 4.4 which gave them kitkat bootloader.

[DISCUSSION] Android 7.0 Nougat on the Moto G (2015)

To keep things clean on the CM13 thread, this thread is for discussing Android 7.0 Nougat for the Moto G (2015)
Here is a list of the available 7.0 ROMs for our phone
AOSP: [ROM][7.0][osprey] The Android Open Source Project
CM14: [ROM][MSIM][UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 14 For Moto G 2015 [BETA] ---> Flash this if you have a dual-sim device
Screenshots provided by Alberto97
Thanks to @Alberto97 for getting Nougat up and running.
Thank you!
You think that is possible to receive official 7.0?
I don't think Lenovomoto would push through an official Android 7.0, reason being:
- Vulkan is not supported on the 410 SoC
- My partner stock Moto G 2015 still at 6.0 and not 6.0.1 (Asia Pacific model, not Indian version which has 6.0.1)...edited..
Otherwise we'll have to wait for the CM14 and I hope everyone contributes to our very own devs who put their hard work into providing this ROM to our device in our community. I know I sure am...

Vulkan is not mandatory for nougat but yeah Lenovo-Moto being a lazy ass is a possibilty.
801 will not get nougat officially but 410 is in the supported list you can read more here

I think that we will get official Nougat for the following reasons
- Vulkan is not mandatory for 7.0, and Vulkan is used alongside Open GL-ES anyway so that shouldn't be a worry
- The Moto G3 is only a year old and has only really received one major software upgrade (5.1.1 --> 6.0/6.0.1). In comparison, the Moto G2 has gone from Kitkat to Lollipop to Marshmallow and I can't see Lenovorola giving Nougat to the Moto G2
Update or no update, we WILL have some form of stable AOSP/CM flavour of 7.0 in the near future anyway
Can't wait guys!! This may be one of the few times I donate!!

If anyone else wants to say this, you have three options:
1. Thank one of those posts to show you agree
2. Just wait and realise we all already know you want a nougat
3. Realise that you're not making sense. If you can't wait, that means you are unable to wait, but you are currently waiting, so you're doing the impossible. So really you can wait, you just don't want to wait, and I'm being too analytical.
Posting another post telling us that you can't wait is not an option.

Simply put, what it says is 100% right. The site says that the Moto g3 will POSSIBLY get nougat. In other words, it's saying that we have might get it. Their guess is as good as yours or mine. Is it reputable? It doesn't seem like it. It's just a random not well known site.
hardware wise, do you think our device can drive android N? we only have 2GB of ram.

It's up to you. Install nougat if you don't want any bugs. If bugs don't bother you, and you want to have the latest version, install oreo
Oreo ROMS (& stock too for that matter) still have BT car audio issues with metadata not displaying correctly in some vehicles (including my 2013 Accord.) If this isn't of concern to you, then go O.
if you don't mind with latest security update, go with N.
I have many complaint with Oreo.
I'm using stock oreo 8.0.0, not rooted and haven't encountered any bugs, so I'd recommend oreo
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
One of my frnd updated to Oreo n facing many problems so wait for stabel update current one having many bugs m r8 nw using noga n its flawless !!
It's funny how many complained about bugs in Nougat, but as soon as Oreo came out, Nougat is suddenly stable, bug free and the best ROM ever made. I have no issues with the latest Oreo and recommend it over Nougat..
No issues with Oreo that bothers me.
Nougat is quite stable, I use it for two month before Oreo came. If you choose Nougat, no more update for you, however there might be custom ROM for nougat in the future since the source code has been release. If you choose Oreo you will get the update, but dont expect too much.
Oreo.
No issues here.

Seriously?
Mo Versi tweated a little more than a week ago that it was set to "go to labs." That could mean anything.
Questions like this don't get much traction on XDA. Best to avoid questions starting with "when....".
Well I was curious also so I'm glad he did ask the question. Not everyone uses Twitter so thanks for the answer. Seriously.
Nice laid back group here.
HTC promised first quarter. Just like they did with nougat. Last year the nougat update hit March 30th. The very last day of the first quarter. I really expect Verizon to drop Oreo on the 10 in the next couple days. March 30th is close. We shall see.
I did a full conversion of my verizon phone over to us_unlocked and flashed oreo. I was rather unhappy with oreo on the device. Its complicated to get back to nougat if you want to OTA properly. i wrote a guide and have all the tools together if you think it will be of use.
possible with nougat verizon m10?

When Oreo finally comes out for the Verizon HTC 10, it won't support Treble, so it will basically be a kludged Oreo anyway, because: (1) HTC will end-of-life the device; and (2) HTC may less-than-gracefully exit the North American cell phone market once it releases its next flagship, gradually backing out as each device e-o-l's (is that a verb transitive?) So the last real ROM will be the current Nougat ROM.
It'll be up to developers to support the device with security updates, etc. at that point.
As for me, as long as my fingerprint scanner holds out and I don't see a better device, I'll stick to my 10.

LMAO. Thanks for the laugh! See https://source.android.com/devices/architecture/treble.
Treble is a platform for updates where the device has "A" and "B" partitions, such that an update can be done to the "A" partition while the "B" partition is booted. It's an easier upgrade path....and it won't be coming to the 10.

Learn something everyday. And does this also mean there will only be one Oreo release.? Like the initial build Verizon releases. Then no security updates or anything?

If I am a betting man, that's correct. The 10 came out May of 2016. I would be surprised to see more than one update to the Verizon 10. I have been surprised before, but I'm not looking ahead.

Update delay on Oneplus 8T

I don't know what's happening exactly with oneplus that is have this type of delay with the monthly updates and security patches with the Serie 8, I don't want to install a custom room but it looks like i will be force to do so due to the lack of updates from oneplus, hope that oneplus do something for the community who like Oxygen OS.
IDK what you're talking about. There was an update 2 weeks ago.
Yes but it was a beta one no a stable one....

Oneplus provides updates for 8T bimonthly, so it's useless to wait for them every month.

I also received my unlock token today, all the different threads to root are confusing, twrp, broken twrp. boot only, flash it, magisk, only use your own boot img, do use don't use magisk canary, flash EU, don't flash EU flash Global etc.....can you point me in the right direction on that? Thanks in advance
