Got a rooted stock 5.1.1 with Xposed Nexus 6 right now.
I am wondering whether or not its worth it to install Android 6.0 because Xposed for Android 6.0 is out. Nothing that Android 6.0 offers is enticing to me.
Can anyone post a link to what google has done in terms of security for Android 6.0? There are 3 android 6.0 files right now in the firmware site.
Android 6.0 is so incremental that everything featurewise it offers can already be done with xposed or 3rd party apps. The only open question is security.
I really dont want to flash and lose my stuff to this. Battery life with my current setup is fine for me.
Battery life is a lot better as it goes into "Doze" mode when inactive. I'm sure there's more . It's also a bigger pain to root than before.
Hi, I'm new to this whole android thing. I bought the R1 HD primarily for google maps via android auto. I updated to 8.4, but it still says its Android version 6.0. Does this mean it's still android 6.0, but update 8.4? I wanted to try out the latest android OS. Which I'm not sure if it is 7 or 8.
Yep, newest Android is 7.1.2, there is no way to get it on this phone, and there never will be.
"Update 8.4" or "Update 7.4.2" is referring to the ROM version that BLU puts out. 7.4.2 -8.4 all use android 6.0.
I'm waiting for the Sony camera support in LineageOS to get that sweet sweet android 7.
Thanks for the replies. I understand now, and also have been able to test out the new Android Nougat OS. I think I got it figured out. Thanks again.
Hi guys, i still didnt receive emui 8.0, and i want to know if its really worth it upgrading to so i can install it manually, as i saw in the internet its doesnt differ too much from emui 5.0, is it worh it ? does it provide more battery life or performance ?
Yes, you get all the latest security patches.
Hello friends im courently on android oreo january security patch and its running flawlessly, in a couple of days android pie shoud arive and my question is before i update what shoud i check before update so that i wont have any problems if i dont like it to get it back to oreo (i only know how to use odin would that be inaf or should i check binary code to match before update because i think that it can't downgrade from a higher binery to a smaller or something else)? Im questioning this because i found on gsm arena that a lot of users having all sort of isues after update in their countries! Thank you for your time all the best! :good:
I just got the Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F/DS) and it's still on Android 8.1.0, security patch level December 1, 2018.
It won't update OTA, nor via Smart Switch.
The build number is M1AJQ.N960FXXS2ARL4, CSC is N960FOXM2ARK2
Is there a way to update it to at least Android 9.0?
Thanks in advance.

I do not know what you mean by genuine, it's original and unlocked.
How do I update it via ODIN if the firmware for this model hasn't been released yet?
Can I use any firmware to do it?

Man, the firmware for that phone with Pie has been release about a year ago..
Just because you didn´t get the OTA does not mean it hasn´t been released.
Just do a search here
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-note9/firmware/#SM-N960F
for your country code to get the latest
Also search the forum for the latest ODIN version, and you must know if your phone has a SnapDragon CPU or an Exynos CPU if you would like to install custom roms and/or TWRP recovery
Go for it..
OP your so lucky to be on oreo I'm jealous
Better to Stay on Oreo That Update it to Pie/10

Waw.. How lucky you are.
i think better you stay in Oreo that updated it to Android 9 (Pie) Or Android 10.
IMHO, true Power of Galaxy Note 9 is on Oreo. The Multitasking menu is far usable in Oreo than Pie. The Pro Video mode is basically available on Oreo. also, you can slide the Shutter button to Zoom-in/out. Thats only on Note 9's Oreo.
Believe me, you'll regret it once you've successfully update to Pie. CMIIW
Can safely say that Android 10 OneUI 2.1 is the best software for the Note9.

When I play Asphalt 9 it gets really hot but I'm not a gamer so that's a rare event for me xd That said that's the only game which really heats up my phone so much, others make it normally warmer.
Otherwise i haven't seen any issues at all the last 4 months since I bought the phone, Exynos version as well. I'm on OneUI 2.1 since 1 month ago. I never had the famous screen tint issue that others were reporting.
Mine was stuck on Oreo too. Always said that my device was up to date every time I would check... I downloaded android 10 from some where and used patched od to install it. Had to do a lot of updating of apps when it booted up but that's how it is.
