Yet again, google has released another update 4.4.2 This time updates are really coming super fast from google. But the question still remains to be seen: When google will fix the bugs faced by users constantly since it has launched KITKAT...??
Till now, google fixes some errors in new updates but other issues evolves as well. Nevertheless, nobody likes to escape from these updates. As earlier changelog is seen only as bug fixes and stability improvements. Do download it and let us all know what issues have been fixed and any new bugs are present....????
Here is the download link provided by xda super guys; It'll take you from KOT49E to KOT49H:

Already a thread here.

Hi, guy. Did anyone updated to Nougat? How does it work? Are the any critical bugs? Does all apps work well?
Of course there are bugs because it's a beta.I have been using it since it was released and I love Android N.

I asked only about critical bugs, I know few minor bugs, like duplicates of icons in status bar.

The final version of N hasn't been released for the Nexus 6 yet but I've been running DP5 as my daily driver since it was released and I haven't found any major issues. I haven't even had the duplicate icon issue you mentioned. I only have one app that crashes on the developer preview but the app developer has indicated he is aware of the issue and is working on fixing it. Overall, my experience with N (the developer preview) has been very positive and I expect that to continue with the release version when it comes out.

I concur with this guy. As long as there is no major changes from DP5 to full release this source is very stable. Hopefully a new radio to rule them all lol
I did not enroll my N6 until I had been running DP5 on my other devices with no ill effects. I downloaded DP5 on 8/10 and even though my other devices updated to Android 7.0 on 8/22 I I'm still waiting for the N6 to update.
I am having zero problems with DP5 on my N6.
Mine is running like a champ, no issues or force closes here...
I wonder if the official 7.0 will have the color changes as well. Cause on DP5...I do not see it in the tuner. I do like the DPI changes. I may not root for Android N
Hi, the oreo update just arrived to my phone but I'm not sure if I want to install it. I read some comments and a lot of people have issues after update, so can you suggest me what to do.
It's personal preference. Read the release notes by Google on the minor differences. Me personally have not experience the various issues people seem to report. I'm on latest and still a positive experience for me.

All right man, I'm going to update, thanks for your help :good:
So i have been using Nokia 7 plus for almost 2 years now and it has gotten some crazy bugs over time. Its not just me but the rest of the communication is facing the same bugs and are waiting for an MR update which is no where to be seen. The phone is becoming really annoying to use so i was wondering that if someone would guide me regarding the matter if i decide to flash in a custom rom on my device. Will it take away the bugs as well? I am noob when it comes to flashing and stuff and i have never done it so i thought i might ask people's opinion before diving in!
There's a MR update on its way, maybe the last. It's supposed to get released mid April.
Audio bug in 3rd party apps fixed
Gcam works fine (not official, but like on 9)
Equalizer works on Spotify & Gaana
Found this info on Nokia community forum

You might need to visit service centre and request them to downgrade from 10 to 9.
Hi community!
There is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM being mainly developed by @Rortiz2 and @diegocr: https://github.com/LOSMantis
Current ROM Status:
- Not Stable
Not Working:
- Sound
- OMX
- Maybe more...
Developers out there that would like to join development are welcome!...
Notice: This is a WIP ROM. It needs to be compile from the source (build steps could be adapted from the Nexus Player https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/fugu/build) if someone wants to try it out. Ready to flash builds would maybe be available when the ROM is more stable. Please do not ask for ETA, it is being developed in the spare time of the developers!

Hi community!
Anyone already seen this project on github: https://github.com/LOSMantis ?
It is a shame that this project are not being discussed here on XDA so more devs could help on this project...
Hope this post will "awake" some devs (maybe @Pretoriano80?) for this project...
This can be the project that will free our Fire TV Stick 4k from the crappy FireOS!

FireOS is very well maintained, even the oldest fireTVs/sticks getting still proper updates...

Yes, but full of bloatware, with some blocking mechanisms or black listed apps, no Google Play Store...
We are not allowed to change the home app easily, to use the standard Android settings without Amazon home app, not install already purchased apps on the Google Play Store and so on...
With root you can disable remove the "bloatware", although personally i dont think there is much i dont use. The fireOS TV is fairly smooth and easy to navigate. The android TV version is worse (IMO, I have a NVidea). You can disable the NIMH app, although i have yet to find any app it is blocking. The play store for androidTV is horrible. LauncherX is fairly easy to install. As with tank and sloan, i would expect issues with roms.

Can you and other people (that did this aswell) stop creating threads like this?
We're working on mantis yes but this takes its time...
For now all is working except OMX and Audio so it's not worth to release anything.
We will create the ROM thread when it's enough usable.
Just wait...

Hi Rortiz2,
Why are you so mad about this thread? We did not ask for a working ROM or any release dates and we appreciate all your time and dedication to the project...
As I wrote in the subject, this is a WIP (Work in Progress) ROM... Have seen so many threads like this in other forums here on XDA where the ROM only boots but nothing works...
I have created this thread to allow other devs to join the project (if nobody talks about it, than nobody knows that a project already exists and can not help).
But if you would like to do this project alone, just tell me an I will delete this thread...
Best regards,
Michael
...
I got really excited when I saw this thread. I cannot wait for stock Android for the Firestick 4K. I will 100% donate to the dev's who get this working!!
Rortiz2 said:
It's ok, leave the thread here. If somebody wants to help there's no problem.

Just throwing out an idea here but would getting some kind of test build out help? Perhaps getting some catlogs from the community could help find a solution? Again just throwing an idea out.

+1 for a test build, I've got a bricked 4k that boots both the hacked bootloader and TWRP, but whatever image I install has no display...
So I would like to try anything else even if stuff is broken on it (just to see if I can get a display).
thx.

It's at developer's discretion to discuss or release test builds here and considering that this particular rom still has some major bugs (call them deal breakers if you want), then i personally agree with the devs not releasing it yet.
Also, i didn't tested personally, but probably a custom rom like this may also break some features available on stock rom.
This being said, i'm sure that it will be released as soon as the guys behind it will consider it stable enough.
P. S. BTW, thread title is misleading and probably aldo violates XDA rules.

I totally understand and respect that. I did bring up having some kind of developer/user test build done just in case that could help further along getting said bugs fixed by getting catlogs that might help narrow down what is causing the issues. But if the devs feel that doing that would only slow things down (or even not help at all) then I respect that decision.

That's the nature of things when it comes to Lineage OS ROMs (and AOSP in general). Sometimes devs are able to get the ROMs to have nearly all the functionality of the device working... and sometimes not. But I generally prefer Lineage myself due to the overall experience being faster since LOS tends to not have all the bloat that stock ROMs sometimes have - especially Amazon devices which feel so bloated down with garbage I will never use.

Hi Pretoriano80,
As I already replied to one of the devs, I never asked for a release date or ROM for flashing. The title also is marked as WIP (Work in Progress), that means that the ROM is in development and not ready for use...
I have seen that you already made a great job with the custom kernel. Thanks! Would you also like to help this project as it seems it also can use your kernel? Kernel dev with ROM devs would be the best team!
Thanks again to all devs that work hard for releasing new stuff for the Amazon devices...
How's the progress so far?
Looks like nothing much: https://github.com/LOSMantis/android_vendor_amazon_mantis
Too bad !!
dead project ?
I made a test build (with many warnings). Also I used the kernel from @Pretoriano80.
You can download it here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=324510
Please note that I couldn't test this out yet, so be careful of what you do. (Will try it out for myself soon)

it's not worth to test since it's a dead project, it would be more usefull to begin a new project developing LineageOS 16 rom , At least we will be able to use the new Android/Google TV UI.

LineageOS 16 won't ever be able to happen for the Mantis version because it doesn't support treble, the most it could do is LOS 14.1 since it's a legacy device.
