As far as I know, Europe isn't part of the beta program. Only parts of Asia. Samsung promised us we will get the official release in February (with no specific day), but in all honesty, I'm expecting it to come close to March.
It's not too much longer now, so you can just be a little more patient and wait until you get the official release. The reason so many people are on Pie at the moment, is because they all flashed custom ROMs based on the various beta releases. As you mentioned yourself, if you don't want the beta (which is your own decision), then you can just wait a tiny bit longer. Honestly, from someone that's on one of the beta releases, you're probably better off staying on Oreo as long as possible, because there's a lot of changes and not all of them are positive.

All ROMs are based on the beta, because the beta is the only source available right now. There isn't anything else to base them on. Only when the official firmware gets released, will custom ROMs start being based on those.
My opinion for staying on Oreo is only a personal opinion. It depends how you use your device and what you use. There are things on Pie that are different and removed from Oreo, which might be a deal-breaker for some people. Some things are more difficult to do or get to. It was just a personal suggestion. If you do, however, prefer Pie, then by all means, get it. My point was just, don't necessarily be in a big hurry to get it. You might want it only for the dark mode, but you might also realise that it comes with compromises which you might not like.

Stable release of Pie out for the note 8 today. Won't be long before it's up on Sammobile through Odin.

Is that means i get today official OTA update or i need check sammobile and than flash it

If you're in the official beta program, yes
If not if you live in Bulgaria or Slovakia you get the OTA even if you not in the beta program.

U will need to flash twrp version of zui nougat when it releases
You won't get any cos updates
Cos is dead
COS is Officially Dead...
And about VoLTE Developers of ZUK Z1 must provide us the new MODEM.bin and it seems like they do not have any time for maintenance of Our device,
So as per my opinion COS and VoLTE both are not going to happen sooner or later on ZUK Z1..
Have some faith, if cos is dead they wouldn't be working on nightlies too. It will be updated as per lenovo Twitter handle but because of some reasons lenovo/cyanogenOS isn't giving priority to our device.
COS is dead dude.
Nightlies we are receiving is aint COS it is CyanogenMod.
We know that CyanogenOS and CyanogenMOD are different.
And the nightlies are also UNOFFICIAL after 6.0.1
So there is no faith for COS13/14 + VoLTE.
Beleive That
Oneplus one device is out of box is cyanogen then it update to oxygen os.
That like Zuk z1
If Zui os for Zuk z1 like Zuk z2 it's great😀.
U know that Zuk z2 zui os have full English & Google support..
ZUI 2.5 nougat will be released before the end of January, it has already been confirmed by ZUK
Z1 will the firstand probably the only snapdragon 801 to get nougat update

Cyanogen os no longer supporting zuk z1. If you want latest android you have to install custom roms or official zui. You can flash zui official rom to get the update.

If you install zui via recovery you can't update your device through OTA, you have to flash zui recovey or flash rom via edl mode while makes your phone complete zui version.
Do we get international version of zui (like zui for zuk z2) or we have struggle with chines version of the rom ?
Is there any other information from zuk about the Android nougat update to z1. As it's been a while no announcement or review is out there.
Hi
I have a question for anyone who has a quick charge 2.0 or later charger and is running zui 2.3 or later.
How much time does the device takes to full charge?
Afaik zuk has the required chips for qc2.0 and even has the hvdcp module in system/bin which is required for qc.
However hvdcp module isn't available in cyanogen os.
If anyone is interested in porting it can pm me.

Im on latest zui 2.3.045, and I don't know how long it takes to load 0 to 100% because I always stay between 20 and 80%, but 20-80 takes about an hour, I can stop it next time. You have to know that my battery isn't as old as the phone because it broked after half a year.
I don't know who, but someone wrote that you can not receive otas on zui, but that's wrong. There are two ways of flashing zui to your z1. You can flash unofficial zips via twrp, but they are always packed by someone else, so you can not say if you get otas or not. But the official way to flash zui is via the qfil tool, you can find a lot of tutorials about it. If you flash the official zui qfil, you sure will get otas. I have tested it a few times and it even worked after I had unlocked and relocked the bootloader. Only if you root zui you have to flash the system clean for ota.

I use the original charger of the phone. Zui uses qualcom quick charge 1.0 which works with the original charger. Idk if it charges faster than with cm, but the battery sure lasts longer with zui than cm or cyanogen os.

Yes oxygen os was official for Opo but we never recieved an OTA while on Cos,you must flash it though Twrp or Qfil in order to use it and get further OTA updates.
and yes,z1 is the one of few devices to get official update from Oem even though running on 801 and that so fast.
But Volte can't be supported even in future,same goes for Vulkan API support.
Good luck!

Download done. Will install later today and report back . One question though, is it really worth upgrading from B586 to this?
Is there any ui changes?
nope
Only security update, I can confirm that. Even changelog says that. If you care about Google security patches, then it's worth updating. If not - don't waste your time.

I searched about it, the content of the security is all marked as critical.
So because of it, ill update my rom.
Updating now. I've noticed that the update numbers go +2 in every new update (B586+2=B588). The next update will be EMUI 4.1? I've seen on the builds that 4.1 is B890+. Anyone know anything regarding this?

Well, Vodafone's EMUI 4.1 is marked as a B890, so... :d
Probably our non-branded will have a different number code, but in fact we don't know when it's gonna be released.

Taking into consideration that B586 came in December and B588 in January, i am confident that when (if) B890 comes, it will be in February. Although i tried EMUI 4.1 on one of those custom roms, it isn't something really special. Just one step closer to nougat i guess (if that comes to our phone too )
Don't delude yourself - official Nougat (EMUI 5.0) won't come.

I dont think B890 is really a P8 Lite rom. I belife that its a rom from another Huawei phone ported in P8 Lite, branded as Vodafone to make ppl belive its for P8 Lite.
Personaly I dont belive we gonna get 4.1 emui.
Why you think like that? B890 was officially released by Vodafone through OTA...
There are many custom roms based on EMUI 4.1 for the P8 Lite. Even if what you say @Azzureux is true, 4.1 can work with the phone and will most likely will. From what i've read we will not get EMUI 5.0 but we will get EMUI 4.1 that will make use of some "ported back features" from EMUI 5.0. I don't know what that exactly means, but i guess we are gonna have to wait and see.
Cannot install TWRP after thge update. Any help.? Only once I finally got to install TWRP and entered the recovery but after reboot, there was no custom recovery, only the stock one ....
Because it's stock Rom and it includes stock recovery, which is overwrited on the custom one.

How long it will take for android O custom ROM???

Hi
I was just wondering after release of AOSP Sources , how long it wipp take for stable build of android o for oneplus 3T
after the release of android z
It may be a few months, may be next year. Nobody knows at this point. Official OOS 8.0 Release will be in a few months so a custom rom release could also be around that time

Why do we need oos to push out 8.0 for us to get it with custom ROMs? Thought custom ROMs can be somewhat 'ported' over from some devices or built from the open sources? I was also wondering the same as op, but didn't expect it to take that long. Hopefully it will be sooner than later

I wasn't implying we need to wait for OOS. I was merely stating if OOS is gonna take a few months, Custom Devs might as well. But i do hope I'm wrong. I think either RR or PA would be the first to take it up.
When Android M and N were was released, we started getting custom roms within 1~2 months on OP2. Should be fast than this on OP3T.

RR is based on LineageOS, so that's not gonna happen unless the source updates first.
PA has limited resources meaning it could take a while for them too.
I'm guessing it's gonna be a random dude with an AOSP port with the first alpha in about 3 weeks. Just a guess, so don't count on it.

XZ1 compact pie for hong kong varient

Friends,
I bought xz1c vida online and it is hk variant. I see the os is android 8 and don't see an update for pie. Any reason why I don't see pie update ?
Sent from my moto X4
Because Customized HK is still on Oreo. Check at https://xpericheck.com/device/G8441

It probably will be upgraded at some time. No idea when though. For some reason only some localizations are on Pie and the rest are postponed...
You could flash Pie manually if you are desperate to get it, but it mught be better to wait at least if you want to be sure everything works like it's supposed to and are not accustomed to Android flashing etc.

As Vofferz said . It *probably* will. Updates are released by regions. If there are some bugs, Sony may stop the update and/or not release the same update to other regions.
There are no detailed release notes for any new update (as I know of) so we can't be sure what were those bugs and reasons for stopping/not releasing updates for some region.
I'm on Customized DE and I also don't have the Pie (yet). But, I'm happy with my phone the way it is.
Pie upgrade may bring some good stuff (newer API), but also some bad things (like clock on the left-hand side and audio buttons default to media). Also, there were those possible bugs. (Some are mentioning GPS bugs etc.)
But if you must have the newest OS on your device, there is a way to flash Sony ROM from different region to your own device. To do that, you can use Newflasher and Xperifirm tools. Search for them on this forum. But I wouldn't recommend flashing if you're not experienced.

what is the best version for 3T?

Right now I have OB 30.
recommend to wait for the Pie stable release? or OB?
I will get OTA update to new OB of Pie?

I would recommend to wait for Stable PIE OTA (should be available by MAY END).
If you switch to CB PIE then probably your data will be wiped AND when the stable OTA is launched then AGAIN you'll probably have to wipe all data.
Performance is okay-ish and battery drain is present on current CB PIE BETA.
Why OB dont get new pie update?
stable release was more recommend?

The OB program technically ended in July 2018. I think the philosophy was that the 3T was old enough to not warrant testing of new/experimental features; and presumably OnePlus was going to focus resources on their newer devices.
OnePlus is calling the PIE update a "community beta" after completing a closed beta. So you might think of it as more or less of an open beta, whether by name or not. But seeing as this is likely the last stable update (at least the last major update) for this device, there isn't a point in testing more experimental features (such as they did with the OB builds).
