Will nubia give android 10 update to z20? - ZTE Nubia Z20 Questions & Answers

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.

Treble based latest Oxygen OS port for OnePlus 3/3T?

Redmi note 4 and 5 series got a port of Oxygen OS based on treble from OnePlus 5/5T and it works great...
Any chance we get similar ports which could ensure latest firmware ports for our devices too?
If any developer can please look into it... our devices might be able to sustain longer with the latest snappy and better than stock android Oxygen OS!
Thanks in advance. Cheers?

OnePlus announced a while ago that our device should get Android P while skipping Android 8.1, maybe bringing with it a Treble-ized OxygenOS, but since, no news.

I m not talking about the official support cus it seems that it will take a lot of time as it is taking time for even 5/5T.
I m talking about the community ports like how the OnePlus 6 got the 6T stock ROM ported.
i believe its the only device that hasnt got ports of successor (5,5t or 6, 6t) Wonder when they are coming.
i always wondered like there were samsung ports why not latest oxygen ports for older devices and today I see a youtube video for oxygen os on the oye 5 pro with 4500 downloads
come on oneplus 3 community we can port latest oxygen os

Let's ask our developers to give it a try. I m sure there might be something they could do... i ll be ready to opt in for testing alpha beta phases.
However, there is Freedom OS that tries to mimic (not sure if that is ported) Oxygen OS but that is still stuck on 8.0 Nougat.

Kind of hard to dev anything on a device where the manufacturer does everything to stop you from doing that.
Also Kirin.
Agree , but this is first time that i buy a phone that is not flaghship , and i also heared that there is no android pie for this device ...
yes i agree too, i used xiaomi redmi note 3 before and untill now still active form dev. unlike this device and my note 3 is much faster gpu unlike this kirin. h6250.

You have to keep in mind that's not an exact answer. While I would be more than happy if this device (including some others such as mate se, honor 7x) get EMUI 9, seeing as how all of those devices shipped with nougat and already got oreo (one major os update) there is a very high chance these devices won't experience EMUI 9. Hopefully it does though. So far the only devices i know that have kirin 659 and shipped with oreo (haven't received one major os update) are: Huawei P20 Lite, P Smart, Honor 9 Lite and Honor 9N.

We ported lolipop/marshmallow roms and now are stuck and bored we want new android versions , is there any way to cross port rom i.e. from snapdragon 616/210/400/425 to snapdragon 410 ?

No idea. It is very difficult, or most likely impossible to crossport the rom from another chipset especially for device that has no sourcce code. I will add redmi 2 to your list (snapdrgon 410), same chipset with oppo, but it can even gets stable android 10 (Lineageos 17.1). But no one developer in xda to port it to oppo a37, cause the source.

Almost impossible, unless Project Mainline comes out and support every version of Android with cross platform support, it is not possible. (From my 4 years of experience.)

Question Miui EEA 13.0.4.. SKBEUXM and after ???

i have this on my mi 11 since several months Miui EEA 13.0.4.. SKBEUXM wwith android security 2022-01-01 !!!! and nothing since this update. WTF xiaomi ! I think they forgot the world except the chinese market.
Now it's a certainty, my next phone will not be a xiaomi, go back to pixel.
apple, samsung and google are the only ones with frequent updates for their devices - literally every other smartphone manufacturer is dropping the ball and only supports their latest and greatest devices until they aren't new anymore..
this was known for a long time now, why act all surprised at xiaomi now?
besides, if you run the same 4-5 apps as you always do, having the latest security update makes no difference to the security of your device...is there any particular reason why you need the latest security patch on your device?
use xiaomi eu rom, dev
Just a regular xiaomi update policy. When a device reaches the first year, updates doesn't matter anymore and all of the device and it's updates a pain in the ass for the future because it's newest mid-range devices first for the company.
Only Weekly deserve frequent updates and even the weekly branch updates will become Monthly lol

Stock Rom or Custom Rom?

Hey there. i have a s20 fe 5g (snapdragon, model SM-G781B), galaxy s8 (exynos), ans galaxy tab A 7.0 2016. Right now I managed to install Android 13 (Lineage OS 20 + NikGapps + Magisk for safetynet) on my backup s8 aswell I managed to flash Lineage os 14 (Android 7, along with Gapps) on my galaxy tab A. Im wondering to do the same about my S20 FE 5G since its support is unfortunately about to end. Thought of flashing TurboUI after i would unlock my device but just want to confirm its safe before doing so. What you guys think? Many thanks.

Hello
This will depend on what use you will give it.
Apparently you are not interested in any of the OneUi customization layer, nor Samsung Dex.
Personally, I am not interested in lineageOS or any rom that is not based on OneUi.
well with many errors, be fighting with incompatibility.
you will find GSI, Lineageos, etc.
I preferred stock rom with modified kernel, androd 13 will not stop working in 2023,2024,2025, etc.
I don't see the importance of moving to an invented and beta system for the team, at least at present.
You will find among the best options:
*stock,root,kernel(bandit,klimbo,etc)
*Turboui v4
*GSI.

Rn my S20 FE 5G is at binary 5. I dont care about rollbacking because i do like the latest verisons and have no use to move onto earlier versions. I just wonder if binary 5 would only limit me to this android 13 one ui 5.1 (like if i couldnt install an android 13 or even a future android 14 rom only because of binary 5). Would it be safe to switch to a custom rom that has the same patch and the same android version without binary 5 doing mess there (like i want to install the latest turboUI at one ui 5.1 may patch, is that possible?)
Rn the device is at may security update, I hope it solved this problem so I could safely move to custom rom without further issues. If I had screwed please let me know as possible to I could reconsider before doing so avoiding further damage. And yeah I have checked OEM unlock and it appears so i believe no issues should occur, just should factory reset (among with removing samsung and google accounts before doing so), enable debugging and oem unlock, go to download mode and then unlock bootloader, and then flash twrp and then whatever i think so.
And yeah I prefer one UI over stock android however the latest custom one ui version for s8 was only one ui 2.5 (hades rom) and no one even dares to make a new one for it, is just dead there. I felt urged to install android 13 so i had no choice but to flash LineageOS 20 (along with nikgapps and magisk). Meanwhile the S9 can get even one ui 5.1 ported via noble rom. I wish something would be done despite being 3 years already since.
But still I won't have prob flashing kernels instead of custom roms if so. Thank you very much.
Alright, just managed to install TurboUI without issues and against all odds.
I was worried because the new binary would mess there but still I managed to do it without issues, and I feel grateful for it
Speechless.
I can't appeal your urges to desperately switch roms.
reading the previous thing you wrote, I have nothing more to say.
If you have errors in the future, please go to the appropriate channels, (turboui, gsi tem, etc.)
Thus, avoid publications due to user errors without investigating before installing.
excellent day.

Alright, have to admit, learnt the hard way
there is SEVERE lack of custom roms there. The lineage OS cant mix with gapps and the custom one ui rom drains battery faster. I had no choice to revert to stock rom. I downloaded its firmware of april patch. Flashed it using Odin and it worked successfully!
You can call me an idiot for the rest of my life as you wish, i had should considered before doing so. Anyways I feel grateful for restoring its rom. But anyways if I would need safetynet I would welcome myself to do so.
I should learn more before installing these stupid roms. Maybe i will continue flashing on S8 but i wont longer flash on S20 FE since that incident. (And noice, the software firmware not matching, aka red message on bot disappear!)
If you have any suggestions youre welcome to tell me so, sorry for not beliving you at first. I should owe you everything
Have a nice night, ig, and I should learn much from that
I understand your inspiration to improve performance.
I've been doing this from symbian (nokia, sony ericcson, palm, blackberry, ios)
current times are not the same.
we are with more powerful processors.
larger and faster ram memories.
Over the years it took me to understand that it is currently not necessary to change the rom.
Example: you are with a s20 FE android 13, it is a completely current system, recently released last December.
I would not have to go to lineageOs, why?
Why did android 14 come out for lineageOs?
I'll have to break down my s20, of course not.
Seeking to get the most out of Oneui with a kernel that exploits its characteristics and without system bugs, seems to me to be a more suitable option.
When it is 2026 or 2027 see GSI options would be a good option.
repeat again, it is a personal thought, for so long I learned, to free myself from stress and constant mistakes.

Alright, just finished relocking my bootloader. Yeah, no more software updates but I can still download them online, and they are security updates so i guess not really a big loss because no more OS updates (One ui 5.1 is final!). Still I HAVE to learn from this incident onwards, maybe on 3 years whenever the device would be too old like the s8 only then i would reconsider doing so. But for now I would stay with this stock rom and I would keep updating it time to time as needed. Everyone makes mistakes anyways. And yeah bank apps continue to work despite device not being play certified, so I guess no root and safetynet would be required. Still, Im very sorry for now trusting you, and I would from now reconsider what Im doing. Lets hope it wont happen even again, peace
Edit: Also managed to get OTA updates and play certification back after relocking it, noice, updating to may patch shortly after recovering my data

I understand
my team is a:
G781B Oneui 5.1 patch February binary 4.
I'm in stock, recovery, no encryption, root, kernel Klimbo or bandit.
I am more than satisfied.
a kernel that delivers power, overclock, etc.
For games it is plenty, for daily use it is wonderful.
Sorry if my previous translation sounds harsh.
Only that I currently install several roms, kernels, graphic drivers, etc.
they only cause bugs.
If you are looking for something stable I recommend stock and what I mention.
greetings.
In banking matters, there are modules for magisk, they worked for me.

Yeah as I relocked my bootloader play certification and ota updates came back
No longer trusting those BS roms, only losers would do so. That rom has drained me much battery and only let me charge at 3W (Yeah I have charger with display, and this occured in real life!)?! What a BS rom tbh! The only positive point I managed to find was the Google feed, but who would burn their battery away just for google feed?! After reflashing stock rom much better!
Very important thing to consider if you even think about flashing a custom rom on your S20 FE 5G. DONT DO IT, YOU WOULD REGRET IT SHORTLY.
I have unlocked bootloader and OEM root.
Even so, I get updates that obviously I will not update.
The last strong update was 5.1 in February. We will not have 6.0, there is no point in updating.
I can go back from android 13 to 12 and 11. Is it necessary? No, but I have the option.
greetings.

In the end security updates should protect us from any kind of exploits, including dangerous ones
But as the devices continues to discontinue (I mean, from october 2023 will start Quarterly updates and year later fully discontinued, the point would of course rise again. But until this happens the custom roms have a chance to delelop as time is going, and if there wont be atleast 1 GOOD custom rom, whats the point to attempt to flash a human managed ROM just to later report bugs to them, impacting your daily basis and ect?
After the last security update on about 2024 I believe custom roms would have chance to rise again, just like it was with the S8. S8 ROMs are better than the S20 FE 5G's ones. I need this time to let the custom roms develop, and once they are developed enough I would reconsider on installing one.
Until then, good luck

I understand you.
The people who have the time to try the roms are appreciated and they are the ones who help the development.
in 2018 i had s9 snapdragon 845.
I was on oneui 2.5 android 10.
in your case you acquired s9 exynos. a jewel to know that note 10 lite would carry android 12 and 13.
They gave me an A7 2017, said note 10 lite managed to port oneui 2.5 android 10 (official was in 8.0 oreo)
I'm assuming your s9 runs android 13.
only that samsung Dex and iris lose or am I wrong?
Anyway, for day-to-day use, having the s9 with android 13 is great.
Yes, the roms for the s8 will be better, because the years have passed and the project is more mature.

I understand you.
The people who have the time to try the roms are appreciated and they are the ones who help the development.
in 2018 i had s9 snapdragon 845.
I was on oneui 2.5 android 10.
in your case you acquired s9 exynos. a jewel to know that note 10 lite would carry android 12 and 13.
They gave me an A7 2017, said note 10 lite managed to port oneui 2.5 android 10 (official was in 8.0 oreo)
I'm assuming your s9 runs android 13.

I never had a s9 but I have a s8. The only problem with the S8 was that its latest One UI Rom is only maxed at One Ui 2.5 (Android 10, Hades ROM). Thats the only main one UI port available. You want to upgrade software? flash lineageOS then! Pretty dissapointing S8 only supports One UI 2.5 max meanwhile S9 supports one ui 5 max. And note 10 lite doesnt have as many custom roms as the S9. So just like the s8 got locked at one ui 2.5, the s9 would also lock at one ui 5? and after getting locked would the s9 users be forced to install stock android, just like on the case of the S8 users which the same happened to them earlier?

In the case of the s8 it is to be in 2.5 with android 10.
is a candidate for lineageos or gsi.
the exynos s9 will have up to oneui 5.1 ported from note 10 lite.
remember that originally it would be in 2.5 android 10.
you can still live with the s9 with note lite size on android13.
or at best go to s20 fe
Alright, an update after a while
Managed to successfully resolve the issue with Samsung health not working: I have installed a patched version and it's working like new. Just to note I shouldn't update it in any case. The only question is if it would sync with the watch. I mean it already can sync with the account, but I would to test it with the watch too. If everything is going fine I have no prob returning to Samsung. The fact I even didn't had to root to install modules only to patch this issue was wonderfull.
About secure folder and Samsung pass I don't care anymore about them and I had barely used them too, and I have no issue leaving them alone. Instead of secure folder I can use Google photo's safe to store my naughty photos, and about Samsung pass I can use Google passwords instead. Galaxy wearable has worked from day 1 since the issue no matter the incident.
This is a big lesson for my ass, and I shall be smart before doing naughty things like this again. Kids, please learn from me and don't be a stupid guy like me.
