Apparently, an OTA update has been issued to the Android One Moto X4, which added the November security patch and supposedly improved stability and camera performance of the device. Is there anyone here with the Android One variant of the Moto X4 with this update, and if so, do you feel that this update has improved anything in the two above fields/what was said to be improved in the update changelog?
Just checked, no OTA available in my location atm. Hopefully soon. *I'll let you know when it does
Android One on Project Fi. Still on Sept patch. No updates available.
I have the normal Moto x4 variant. It came with the with November security patch, and performance and camera improvements. Update was about 120 mb or so. My x4 did see a sleight increase in performance and camera. I'm in the US. I received the update a couple of days ago. I know youre asking about the one variant but the updates shouldn't be too different right?
Protect fi version here. I got an update a few days ago, the camera no longer takes 5 seconds to take a picture.
I haven't really noticed anything different otherwise, I just really really miss my lg g5 camera
Moto X4 Android One.......Got my update this evening. Stability was never really an issue, but the phone does seem smoother now. Camera is faster. Haven't had much time to take pictures so can't speak about quality. Comes with Nov 1 security patch. Small update. Took about 30 mins to complete.

Yesterday I didn't have it, but I just re-checked today, and I got it now.
OTA is 90.6MB.
Just checked mine, UK model (XT1900-5) and still no update =(
this may be a really dumb question but i can't find the answer anywhere... is it possible to flash the stock android one rom on a normal x4?

Right now it does not seem to be a port available yet, it should be done soon, like it was done quickly on the Xiaomi Mi 5X from the Mi A1, but flashing directly through fastboot, is very risky, there is a high chance that it will fail and brick your device and there is another variable to take into account, the Android One is probably using A/B partitions, which I think the regular X4 is not, so a fastboot flash is again, very risky. We're still waiting on TWRP, once that is available, hopefully custom ROMs will start flowing =D this is just a couple month old device

Actually Retail x4 is also using A/B partitioning. so there's high chaance straight up system flashing will work.

Several have gone the other direction and flashed retail on an A1 model. At least one has returned to a Fi image afterwards, but by using a Flashfire backup as an official copy of the Fi firmware is not available yet. Something in the currently established bootloader unlock/root process screws up the OTA process, so that's something to be aware of. It'll get fixed eventually, but it's an issue for now.

Hello all. It's been quite a number of years since I've been in the custom ROM scene. Last I was around CM was the only ROM that had OTA functionality. I'm contemplating throwing a ROM on my moto g5s plus NA sanders XT1806, but at this point I'd like to have a semi - set it and forget it set up. Are there any ROMs available for this device that have a functional OTA system set up? I know I could install one by one and find out, but I'm hoping some users could chime in and save me the time. Searching there are no mentions of OTA in any of the ROM threads.
Thanks!

Pixel experience has a system update, but don't know if it's incremental or full or if it even works, never used it, or any auto updater.
AEX PE and Cosmic have OTA working, usually it's the defining feature in official/unofficial rooms right now.
I've used pe and aex's and I'm guessing cosmic works too.

Any phone released with Android 8.0 or later (this will have 8.1), has to support treble as standard.
No idea what updates will be like but I hear that the bootloader will be unlockable and phh plans to support the P20 pro from a treble ROM perspective.
No idea about kernel sources being released by Huawei and therefore how long it might take for twrp and/or custom kernels to be built.

It never lack updates. Even mate 10 has plenty of updates.
What it lack is, an easy way to modify something.
Example,
I havent jump to this phone yet, because there's no root method available yet.
And android without root equal to : too many pain in the *ss, lol
Excuse me for being a paranoid Android, but with Huawei's past reputation on updates ..
Would it be possible for somebody to do the adb check and paste the results back here please

It supports (checked on p20 pro c432 dual sim)
So the question is.
Has anyone successfully flashed a treble ROM on the P20 Pro?
Did it everything work?
How did you do it?
I've flashed several via twrp, flash system image.
None worked.
I've read that the twrp versions we have are incapable of wiping completely.
Not only that but if you've modified the phone, IE: root etc it won't work.
Obviously you need to be able to flash the system IMG but by what method is it going to be successful?
Had tried los, dotos and cosmic all booted fine. Haven't had time to play with these roms though. I like the dotos design but I can't set-up fingerprint.
I flashed the images via fastboot.
Hi all,
Looks like Oreo update is rolling out in India.

Did you got it
I have confirmed this from the support. They say it is true.
Can you send screenshot please?
Is it gonna be 64bit or 32bit ?
sorry, this is not a rollout, it is a release note.. the rollout could come in 1-2 months

You confirm it when people get oreo on their phone, not when lenovo say oreo is coming. Oreo has been coming for a year now.
You'll notice there's no source for that article.

Instead of Oreo update i just got security update of 1st June
I got the June security patch today.. Still no oreo..
They don't want to mess up with bugs, they are testing Oreo via soak testers and it would take at least one month to release Oreo final build for all users. So, jus wait for few days u will definitely get it.
Funny "just wait you will get it" , some people arent even getting the June security update, im not so sure how motorola sends out updates. If they are relying on carriers, then we likely wont get anything , this is why i usually forego the ota nonsense and just root/custon recovery/ custom rom , and never look back , i dont have the time to do that now

That's my last option. Will simply unlock the bootloader. Install TWRP, root and than install tonnes of custom roms simultaneously. Can't wait to install Viper4Android and Lucky patcher. The same what I did with my previous Moto E & Moto E2(otus) and now a g5s plus user.
I am not very eager to stick with Stock rom. But there are many roms out there filled with too many bugs, which made me to stick with the Stock.
I always unlock the BL first if i can , you can always get OTA after that unless you do custom recovery , or root ! I usually dont wait for OTA, because carriers usually scrap the idea of updates until theyve sold a few million of the fones first , by that time , the fone is old and then they feel theres no need to upgrade anyway because there Hawking a new better fone !
I've found another article on Oreo for Moto G5

Hi there. I have a Xiaomi Mi 8 (from Three) which I have currently got the region set to India, mainly so that I can use Face Unlock, Theme Store, etc.
What I'd like to know is, if I continue to use the Mi 8 under the India region, will I still get the MIUI 10 update when it's released, as its not set to UK?
Thank you for any help on this matter.
Unlock your BL, install MIUI EU and you can freely choose any themes you want without any stupid restriction from Xiaomi.

Thank you for your response, but I haven't a clue how to unlock the BL and where I'd get a non hacked version of MIUI EU from.
I'd probably end up bricking the phone. lol
I'm just worried that if I keep using it under a different region, I won't receive the update.

Usually updates are pushed to phones based on the build number. If yours is a UK variant then it'll have a UK variant build number (most likely). I wouldn't have thought the region setting you put in when first starting & setting up the phone would make any difference. But don't quote me on that...

Many thanks for that.
I initially bought this phone as a work phone, but I actually enjoy using it more than my S8+, plus I've heard that MIUI 10 (plus Android Pie) is way better than MIUI 9.6.
Thanks again.

I'm actually not an owner of the phone myself (yet) still torn between this and the Honor 10. Hard to choose between such good budget phones these days.

I can confirm that MIUI 10 based on Pie is WAY better. Just the "OK Google" hotword detection to fix and it'll be pretty much perfect.
I'm in the UK, use mine with both my work and personal SIM in - I'm running the latest ROM from Xiaomi.eu (MIUI 10.2 - Weekly 8.11.23).
It's great.
Also have installed the custom GCam for it, which is superb! I use the Xiaomi cam for video and portrait mode and the Google Camera for everything else - night mode is seriously impressive.

I bought my daughter the Honor 10 for her last birthday. It's a great looking phone with a very good camera/cameras. The back of the Honor 10 (blue) has to be seen to be believed, it looks amazing.
I must admit, the Xiaomi does have the edge when it comes to the screen, but it is a close battle.
I do love the camera slightly more (it's very close) on the Xiaomi too, but everything just seems a little more stable with the Honor 10 and it's EMUI skin on Android 8. I've had a few older apps that have refused to run on the Xiaomi.
That will hopefully change on the next Xiaomi update.

As no one is not giving a answer, so I'll try to help you out.
It's no matter what you have chosen, if you have the stock recovery, you'll always receive OTA updates. You can not change the stock recovery without an unlocked bootloader which can be achieved by the official tool provided by Xiaomi, for further information, use Google.
Unlocked bootloader gives you access to all functions of your device, and this means that you can use even a Pixel device Android "mod", and it's the closest to the native Android.
If you are using IM apps too often, you'll notice that your notifications are not being delivered just in time. also, MIUI has tons of bloatwares and limitations that won't allow you to use your device freely, and appearantly Xiaomi is collecting some "not innocent" data from your phone, so you might want to consider your privacy. These are just my perspective as an user that was on Android for 7 years, I hope you will enjoy your device.
Have a great night.

Perhaps you will need to update it manually. Get the very first Android 9 release from official forums, and try to sideload it.
hey guys at present I'm using my a2 On Official Android One Rom With Bootloader unlock (camera2api) Enabled. Some Users Say that Android one rom is laggy And lot's of bugs. So I want You To suggest Me What Should I Do? Install A Costom rom On my device like (Pe or something else) Or Stay With Android One?
I recommend Pixel Experience CAF version. I'm currently using that since I got fed up with Android One updates. I have been on custom ROMs for quite some time actually. CAF version supports OTA so you don't have to flash it again with every update, camera2api is already enabled and there is a MIUI camera included, but you'll have to find a working GCam yourself though. I haven't actually experienced any bugs for now but people say there are few and those will be fixed in the next update.
Edit: Just to add a few reasons why I am against Android One since you wrote that some users reported issues with stock but not you yourself.
It all started with the September update(if I recall correctly, or maybe even earlier). The bug present in that update made the faster CPU cores lock up at maximum frequency if the fingerprint sensor is used which drained battery really quickly. It took them like 1-2 months to fix that one. Then came Pie update, a lot of stuff stopped working. The storage for some reason got really slow and clearing large app cache(especially Chrome cache) would freeze the device or even make it reboot. This is the issue they STILL haven't fixed.
With January 2019 update a lot of devices went into bootlops and got bricked. February update changed contrast of the display and made everything really bright, definitely brighter than it should have been. Now they fixed that issue in March update BUT the update bootloped/bricked some more devices again so they pulled it. Their updates have really become a joke, which is why I'm all for custom ROMs. Definitely more stable than stock.
