does anybody know, will note5 (N920X) get android 8
Um? Look at when this phone was released when it comes to official updates.
Then look at how many active devs there are for this phone. So no and no.

Anyone know if and when we will get an updated version of Android N, like 7.1?
Nope. Hopefully soon.
Perhaps with the Daydream support update..
<sarcasm>When the S9 is announced</sarcasm>
I wouldn't be surprised if they won't update to 7.1 and just wait til 8.0. by then Pixel 2 would be running 8.1.4 lol
from the leak info it looks like the note 8 will come out with 7.1.1. so it means we wont get it until after note 8 release. since samsung likes to keep their latest update for their new flagship devices.
Wich to me makes no sense at all...why not push the 7.1 to older phones to work out all the bugs for the newer device??

Sarcasm detected alert...
I'm interested to buy z20 but I have never owned a nubia (or zte) phone so I wanted to ask:
1. Historically speaking, does nubia give android version upgrades to their z series phones? Like their most recent z17 and z18?
2. Did they announce / guarantee that android 10 will come to z20?
I want the stock dark mode feature in android 10 so I'm asking if it will come to z20
???
As a Chinese and who used Nubia X before, I can tell you NOT RECENTLY.
Nubia is a company that it doesn't like to update system regularly for their products even they know the users are not satisfied with that.
I think it may get a android 10 update next year (before the next generation of Z series), but don't expect too much. You'll get used to the Nubia.

Thank you for response. I do expect them more or less to not give updates because they aren't as known or big a brand as huawei/xiaomi and even popular oppo/vivo is very sketchy in giving updates.
Did they give android version upgrades to z17 and z18 series? I mean from nubia, not custom roms.
I have seen custom roms for z17 series phones. Will z20 get custom roms in future? I only need the basic stuff as long as the multi-tasking of both screens is still available. I have apps that can do the game space stuff.

The z17 and z18 just updated the UI, but the android version is still the old. I think next year z20 will got an official android 10 update, but not very recently (second half year? maybe)
For the custom roms, in the future, I don't think there would be too many, since the phone is not very popular even in China.
The Nubia X now only have Mokee (official) and MIUI (unofficial).
Ok, that's all, hope my reply can help you. Thanks.

Custom roms are only possible if the company releases the phone source code or whatever it's called? Has nubia released it for z20?
I thought nubia x had an official pie beta?

this appears to be the set of blobs for the NX627J
https://github.com/AndroidBlobs/vendor_nubia_NX627J
Guys the device hasnt update since end of October.is that normal?other Nubias has....
I have a Nubia z11
The phone was released in 2016 . as for system update
The EU ROM was updated till android 7.1 from android 6. And cn version gets update on android 6 last sept we got new release . the cn version also has android 7 but development was stopped. As for custom ROMs
My z11 is on havoc 3.3 android 10 with gcam.
All I can say is if you have a developer to support the device for at least a few years its more than enough.
Is there anyone out there developing an android 11 rom for this device?
If you are referring to a stock Android 11 one then there will be a version of LineageOS. That's 99.9% guaranteed. But I don't really count those as updates for me as I'd like a OneUI 3, 3.1, etc ROM for a Note9. If I want stock Android why'd I buy a Note right? The S7 had a OneUI 2.0 ROM so it's not impossible, just depends if a developer is willing to work on it. In 2021 there will be a few Android 11 ROMs for the Note9 as it's a really popular device.
PS: Even if there is such a ROM most Note9 exclusive features like the Iris Scanner etc won't work as newer phones simply don't have them. Could be wrong on this one though.
its been a few years since i modded a phone. i recently got my hands on a used samsung galaxy note 8 {factory unlocked/no carrier} with a snapdragon processor.
model # SM-N950U1
Im searching around this forum but most of the info is for exynos processors.
i need to unlock the bootloader and root so that i can install
LineageOS 19.1.how can i do this?
The snapdragon version is called the "greatqlte". You can root it via twrp, but I'm not sure about custom rom support, and definitely not lineage19.1.
The snapdragon version has basically no support on xda. Someone posted a question similar to yours a while back.
too bad , its still a good phone, whats the highest version of android i can install ?
I don't think there are any roms.. I think I saw an oreo one, but you're probably better off sticking to oneui on android 9, which is stable (unlike the oreo build).
You can still root and debloat/customise your phone via magisk modules etc.
Hello everyone,
Have Samsung Galaxy S10 [SM-G973F] for 2 years, being very satisfied. It came with One UI 2.5 | Android 10 | G973FXXS9DTI8.
I did not upgrade, staying on the version as it came. Android 10 performs well for me.
Recently bought another one, a Dual SIM version ... Galaxy S10 [SM-G973F/DS]. This one came however with preinstalled One UI 4.1 | Android 12 | G973FXXUFHVE1.
I want to get the second one on the same version of the Android 10.
Checked with CPU-Z the specs, both are on the same Exynos CPU, both devices have the same Release date 01.03.2019.
From reading forums / tutorials / guides etc. for some days now I am aware, that it is not the easiest thing I want to achieve, on the other hand my understanding is that it is doable.
I am looking for a senior well experienced advisor for this task.
I am also aware, that the risk is at the end still on my side.
Some fair remuneration for such support is to be expected.
Feel free to reply here or PM me, whatever is the preference.
Looking forward for your support / feedback.
You will not downgrade the original firmware version in Samsung because of the BIT.
Lowering the stock firmware version locks the bootloader. There is no chance to lower the bootloader version to be able to flash official android 10 when the phone had firmware with higher BIT than that of android 10.
You can try to get rid of the official firmware and flash hadesRom Q Stock v2.0 for Exynos with consistency as described in the thread:
knox related features won't work (Samsung Pay, Pass, Secure Folder etc.)
However, it is not known whether this is possible, as neither the author of the thread nor anyone else has answered the question on this issue.
