Now that google announced to stop updating the device in September this year, will Cyanogenmod/LineageOS stay working on this device? So we will still get android updates? And if yes, for how long do you think? Thanks in advance
Hi,
I think we will get android 8, but if not, dont worry, there are a bunch of costum roms will available. Example my Nexus 7 stopped on MM, but i use N 7.1.1 Lineage on the tablet. And there are a lots of other 7.1.1 rom available. So the 5x will be the same.
And also, the nexus 4 started with 4.2, stopped on 5.1.1 but there are 7.1.1 costum roms for that and they works fine. So dont worry about how long we will gets the latest android. I think at least to Android 10.

Thx mate. Never had a device with real cyanogenmod/linageos before. Wanted to make sure this device was still worth the money for some years.

Now here OnePlus gets an CyanogenMod Rom 14 based on Android N officially and you can flash it. In news we came to know that OnePlus would be giving an update at the end of the year to Android N 7.0/7.1 .
OnePlus earlier combined both Hydrogen OS and Oxygen Os and it was an good decision.
The provided Rom by Cyanogen plays very well with the phone but it might some time disappoint you but we did not notice that happening. Man..y users demanded to the faster update to Android N and many are still waiting but now you can download the ROM and use it. Doest it work fine?

We can sideload it using TWRP? Coming from custom ROM?
And now 7.1.1 Beta is here for the Robin as well ?

Hi,
I have the original rom 6.0.1 but it is unlocked with TWRP..., notification appeared to update to Nougat and the system restarted and went to TWRP.
Can I install over the current rom the file I just download via TWRP? (https://android.googleapis.com/packa...3e21e543c0.zip)
Thanks

AFAIK, you could NOT do it with custom recovery. It will brick your device.

This update has been really bad on all of my Robins. I've taken them all back to the last 6 build.
My issues experienced on four different robins:
Would not connect to LTE.
Random reboots.
Freezing and then reboots.
Phones would get extremely hot.

If this is true then I will not do the update (Nougat) until I check more reports about the same or the opposite.
I'll wait...!
I've been running the Nougat beta without issues for the last couple months. Now I'm on official 7.1.1 Beta and it's quite nice. No random reboots, no issue with LTE on T-mobile. Heat and the Snapdragon 808 basically go hand in hand though lol. I'm running Ghostpepper Interactive CPU profile and everything is even smoothier than stock lol.

I've only had my Robin for a few weeks, but I've definitely noticed 7.0 being buggy (at least in comparison to my previous Nexus 6P...) Glad to read about a beta for the Robin though. I may take a look at that before resorting to flashing a ROM like Lineage.

Beta builds are also buggy and laggy.
Lineage builds are buggy as hell and no longer maintained until the bugs are fixed.
I can recommend Omni.

Today I have received an update from Nextbit from Anroid 7.0 to Android 7.1.1 (I am not on beta channels or custom roms). Size was 540-560 MB. I did not notice change logs as I was excited to see the update suddenly. Android Security patch: April 2017

Any new features or updated stock apps?
Any idea if this is last official update?
Any beta testing going on?
I just randomly opened the en.miui.com and I saw that our Armani is also eligible for the MIUI 9 update. Guys, take a look and apply maybe?
Deadline for application time is 1st, August 2017 (Beijing Standard Time)
MIUI 5, MIUI 6, MIUI 7, MIUI 8 and now MIUI 9. It has been a long journey. Really excited!! Looking forward for it.

I was so pumped when I read it. I can't believe Xiaomi will indeed update their old devices. My hopes are high for them. But I doubt it might take a long, but that's fine. ?
Do I need to be good at debugging to be able to have a sense in using beta?
Also, does that mean that the camera blobs for our device will be updated to fit Nougat? And does that mean a better camera experience on other Nougat ROMs?
OR will it be another new UI with outdated system?

I still doubt that Xiaomi will be updating the android version too. Still hoping for the best.
Good at debugging? I don't think that is compulsory but surely it'll help the developers if you are.

I just hope that the Android version would be updated too. But as far as I can see, it wouldn't be. Just like the release of MIUI 8. It was based on Marshmallow for new devices but the older ones were stuck. Nougat runs fine even though with a hiccup, but hey at least we know it's working and it's possible to have one MIUI ROM based on Nougat.

Yeah! let's hope for the best. I won't think it'd take that much time. Armani recieved MIUI8 update earlier than Redmi 2.
It'll will be on android kitkat only for redmi 1s, just updated ui and fancy stuff. So just don't hope that it'll come with MM for redmi 1s. :laugh:

Yeah. After a few days, my hype disappeared. Somewhat disappointed on what will happen. I don't care about fancy UI and colorful stuff. I want a bit of nudge on the Android version. I'll be fine if they notch it up to 5.1.1 or 6.0.1. Thanks to the devs here in XDA, I got a taste on Nougat even though the phone tries hard to catch up.
If there is no xda, our device Armani would have never get past android version 4.4. (Well most of the devices)
im sure that in miui 9 also the android version will stay at 4.4.
One year ago I have dumped my redmi 1s and shifted to RN3 ,but happy to seee miui 9 for our little Beast...
Miss this forum and device. But I keep checking a month how development is gng on...
Its a wasted effort, the company has even dropped MIUI 8 support for Redmi 1S. The only version available seems to be MIUI 8.2.1.0 while a lot of devices got 8.5.xx. Redmi 1S has reached EOL.

You're right. I can't see any info about MIUI 9 update for Redmi 1S even though they promised to do so.
RIP
MiUi9 stable version is now available for China ROM and it gets regular updates
System is still KK 4.4 but the MiUi version is quite fresh and fluid
Thnx
any chanche to have global stable?
IIRC the official update should've launched around november-december
Its february, what happened? did xiaomi drop the RN5pro from the list?

LOL! Where did you get information RN5 will get Android 10? RN5 Pro got 2 major Android updates 8.1 and 9. Be happy they even continue MIUI. Last MIUI update was in November and after that still nothing. This is not a flagship phone. If you want Android 10 go with custom ROMs.

They were launched with Nougat
Dude has right.There were serious rumors that we would get android 10.
What is the point of android 10 if it is still covered by MIUI skin? I hardly can point out any additional feature provided by android 10. There are several nice to have features, but it also brings along several critical limitation.
I flashed Havoc 3.0 android 10 early January this year, just for the sake of update, after one week immediately regret it. I am back to AEX 6.7 Pie 9.0 since then. The clipboard limitation severely damage several of my daily flows in Automagic. Any wifi/bluetooth related action now require high accuracy location feature to be on all the time. While at pie 9.0, battery saver mode is enough. There is pratically no significant new useful features I can find.
At that time most android 10 cusrom still haven't stable yet nor implementing their features into the ROM. Example, I can't yet find Smartbar DUI in AEX 7.0 Android 10, but it is there in AEX 6.7 Pie 9.0 (that's why I stay on Pie). Rather than having new version but with missing features, I better stay on old version but with full features.

If you search "Redmi Note 5 Nougat" you will see that this device was launched with Nougat.

Installing that Nougat on my whyred is going to break my camera, which means that 7.1 wasn"t meant for my device. Indian whyred was launched with 7.1 . Not global one

Hi,
is it possible to keep the stock rom and install newest google security patches?
It would be better to keep everything as it is (also user data) and just install security patches.
I love this phone and I don't need a new one. I'm also fine with the stock rom.
The only thing what bothers me is that the last security patch is 5 months ago.
(im familiar with flashing custom roms years ago: cyanogenmod on galaxy s3, lineagueos on s5. But since then I did not get in touch with the custom roms topic)
Thank you!

If you're on A12 try using Oxygen Updater to see if a later update is available.

Yes oneplus ended updates and I don't like custom roms.
So the only option for me would be to buy a new phone just because I want security patches...

Afraid so. Security updates are pretty much over once the manufacturer stops tweaking the patches for a particular line.
Even Google only promises Pixel security updates for 5 years.
