That's Autumn in English, and September for those of us in the southern hemisphere. (The article actually states November so that would be.... late fall I guess?)

Seems to be more of a tablet optimization of android rather than an overhaul of a new interface, Abit like honeycomb was before the release of ICS...
On that note I don't care... rolleyes

For those that are not yet informed, this is an important article as to how Google will proceed with the Android One program.
Android One 2nd Gen may be the last of it's kind in terms of a unified, inexpensive Android platform with top to bottom hardware and software standards.

the original and very essence of the android one program will be marginalized and eventually die a natural death. long live the android one. apple has the last laugh. lol...
WSJ article, which is the source of the arstechnica oped, is paywalled. So I don't know for sure whether this is just a special exception made by Google for one particular market.

Yeah, I sure hope that's true but, ARS Technica is usually dependable on their reporting and the chances of them omitting that detail's unlikely. Emerging and small economy OEMs are notorious for for pushing crap stock firmware and even worse security/update policies if any.
I hope google keeps pushing all OEMs to comply to a standard when it comes to security and updating instead of opting in. They've started implementing stricter policies regarding MM in that regard and I hope they keep following through in that direction. It's not like OEMs really have a choice if Google decided to implement higher standards.
For those who don't follow the tasker google group, tasker is being turned over to the creator of the AutoTools plug-ins, joaomgcd. This will also, by necessity, result in the depreciation of the direct purchased version.

Wow... Tasker was the first app I bought on the Playstore. Bunch of Autoapps plugins we're the next after Tasker....
It's free now?
No

Pent, the original developer of tasker, has transferred development of tasker to João Dias ( joaomgcd ) the developer of the AutoApps suite.
I have no idea why it would follow that the app would become free as a result. Tasker requires a load of development. The announcement and all of the discussions are in the link I provided originally.

Great article. Who's the worst? ZTE and TCL of course. The biggest pushers of bloat and tracking malware in the mobile market that there is. The best on the list were Google Samsung,Sony and Wiko. Makes sense that the worst offenders were those with malware trash running on their devices from Chinese app makers. To bad the team that conducted the study gave them an out like mediatek being the problem.

Really just thoughts and opinions here as there's no yes or no answer to this yet, it's not out thus no AOSP! But what do y'all think? IF it's possible, you think the shamu will see some new development? I know the Nexus 4 mako is on Oreo 8.1 right now! Gives me some optimism.
If developers are still showing Shamu some love, then I wouldn't be surprised if P shows up for us. we benefit from developers keeping their own phones alive.

I have hope for this.

I am not aware of any developer for shamu who is still using his shamu as daily driver.
I did the oreo bringup for shamu just because I can.
I get the impression that Oreo was harder than most other Android upgrades. I'm not really taking about the N6 here, as of course Google did the work for the previous versions - but about unsupported phones in general.
Maybe Oreo changed a lot as part of project Treble? We can hope that P gets easier if it only evolves Treble a bit.
I got my fingers crossed on this one, I'm really hoping project treble truly does make porting Android easier! The shamu was such a great device for it's time, and in my opinion at least, it's holding up fine! It'd be nice to have continued support on this device!
As an example I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which is running N and doing it reasonably usably. There is someone working on O for it with LineageOS and they may get there. If there are lots of a model out there, someone somewhere will try and get it working for those of us who can't do it ourselves.
The Nexus 6 is a lot younger than the Galaxy S2. I have one as my daily and I think I have good odds of continuing to use it for a while yet.

Wow really? That is great news. Could you give me the link to their device repository? So far I have only found 'developers' who use mostly my commits.

I dont think I've heard of your Will Rogers and after looking it up I think I heard the name from Buck Rogers. I think the robot called him Will Rogers. My older brother used to watch that show alot when I was a little child. The quote shows good logic and perspective

Twiki always called him "Buck", his nickname. The character's given name in both TV and the source material was William, but it was never used except in the second season of the TV series, when Buck was on trial for treason.
As to Buck Rogers itself, the TV show is a so-so adaptation of the original sources, Armageddon 2419 and its sequel War Against the Han. Honestly it would have been more successful had the premise not changed in season 2.
Of course, Buck never uttered the quote in ktmom's signature. Will Rogers was a real person, while William "Buck" Rogers is but a character.

Hi please think before comments like these which might cause offense. He is the LineageOS device maintainer for shamu and thus is the majority of the "lineage os community" for this device. He has spent many hours making LOS work on shamu.
