Android Oreo (8.0) - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

I think our beloved moto z play will sooner receive the major update which is 8.0
This site confirm, lets hope motorola will give as quick as possible :laugh:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...ll-Get-Android-O-8-0-Oreo-update/td-p/3684721

good news

That isn't official.
It's just a forum and the user copied that list from one site and pasted to the forum.

Yash is right, that's just a c/p from a post elsewhere.
If it were an official announcement from Motorola, it wouldn't be hidden on a forum, it would be on posted to all of Moto's social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, MySpace?)

No matter if it is false info or not. Anyhow, Moto Z series will surely get 8.0, just the time of arrival isn't revealed!

Yeah may be around 1 more year before it comes. But any ways still lovin the performance of my mzp upto this point.

O doesn't even have an official name yet and the pointless articles are already rolling in.

They are just rolling this for user's excitement

Someone asked @Moto_Support on Twitter if they know an ETA. Let's see what or if they respond.

Well, looks like the Oreo update is the first one I really don't care of - none of features are desired by me, none is "killer" one, I really wandering why they give that update whole new number instead of 7.2.x. Marketing all the way...

Which I don't like - I use Nova launcher with Pixel Icon pack, which perfectly suits my aesthetic taste - all icons are rounded

I'm happy with android 7.1.2, because it's stable as hell. But now android 8.0.0 is around the corner. It's very fast. New system again. It's ok, so long to do the update is not a big deal. We will see in few months

I'm waiting on someone to build it, I want snoozable notifications for when I'm watching Netflix or gaming. I want the pip mode too.

It was a joke. Some people flashed leaked SOAK just to get rounded icons and now with 8.0, well...

One person in the live-stream-chat of the O-event said that android O is just for 64-bit. But that's not true, right? Ok, Z Play can 64-bit, but it's not useable so far, right?

the Zplay it's a device from 2017, maybe in 2018 (Q1, Q2?) we got AO Soak Test, but it's time to wait for the official news of Lebobo/Motorola.
Don't forget the 18 months of "secure updates"

So this is android 2.3.3, not 4.0.x?
I'm not gonna lie, that's kinda a bummer. I've only messed with miui a couple of times, so I'm not really up on their development status. They're still using 2.3.3 as the base? Is there an ICS version in the works(I assume there is)?

This is 4.0. They use 2.2.3 for the release date every Friday. So the new one he's releasing is like 2.2.10 I think? Somewhere along those lines.

Damn! This looks great! Ever since I could get my hands on MIUI on my Vibrant I never looked back. Now with my Gnex i've just been enjoying what is easily the best version of Android by a long shot, ICS. But damn does this look good!
Maybe I'll have to try a dual boot for my first time on an Android device. That stuff work pretty well? I was looking at Boot Manager but I was wondering if there is anything else out there. Anyone got any suggestions?
Updates out. You can find at miuius for now!

Very nice!! :good:
I got the donate version to support you development.
Let's see how the battery life goes with this guy around.
Two things I would like to see.
1. Please add a little mouth under the mustache and beard options, it would make it funnier.
2. It would be nice to have an animation for the mouth as wel from time to time, maybe when the mouth is set to Awwww the monster could close it from time to time or have a little interaction if it's pressed.
Keep the good work!!:laugh:

I think I saw your error report in my developer console, thank you very much!
You can try clearing the "data" in the application info and try it again. I think it might be trying to find a custom background which is no longer in your device.
Tell me if it works, at a meantime, I'm finding way to patch it :cyclops:

Anyone know where the update is (Moto Connect)?

I found some references to a new version supposedly released yesterday
(Example):http://venturebeat.com/2014/11/06/m...tracker-custom-watch-face-maker-for-moto-360/
I'm interested in the "Moto Body" stuff. My biggest complaint so far in the fitness items on the 360 is they live only on the watch so you don't get much for a rich interface with history.. if moto body unifies this it would be pretty cool, so I'd like to play with it.
Anyone get the download yet, or know where to find the apk?
http://motorola-blog.blogspot.com/2014/11/moto-360-choose-watch-that-fits-your.html?m=1
Motorola said it'll be released in a few days. So assume this weekend or early next week
I thought it might be a slow roll-out that other users had gotten already.. was hoping to side load and play around... I hate waiting!

I got the update. The new My Design way of making a watchface is very fast and looks great. Obviously not as detailed as Facer/WatchMaker, but not a bad solution considering.
Some of the new stock watchfaces were nice too. I can see my wife enjoying the "Blossoms" once, more so if you could make it automatically switch between the provided backgrounds, which can't be done as of now.

Same issue on my end, have the same watchface, but without the mini items on the lower half.
anyone see much of the "Moto Body" elements. I expected some more access to the fitness data coming off the watch on my phone, but other than changing the heading where my heigh/weight is stored in the app I don't see anything different.

Lollipop in 2 Weeks

Was guessing end of March on my other thread, which was best case... Seems it might happen
http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...update-for-other-z-series-rolls-in-two-weeks/
I will say though, the C5606, usually gets things last... Hopefully one of the ZL models get it by the end of march, would be pretty good.

But on the other hand, as long as there is no stable Xposed for Lollipop, I'm not going to update anyway. So no harm done.

Same here. That's the reason I didn't yet update my S5. But I wouldn't mind playing around with LP a bit, even without Xposed. From what I've seen so far on other people's phones, I don't like it much, but I'd like to try it out on my own device. Too bad I can't afford to tinker with the S5, as it's my work phone...
i think is really near

First purported Z series screenshot:
XperiaBlog.net said:
The screenshot you see below is claimed to be the first showing Android 5.0.2 Lollipop on the original Xperia Z (C6603). It shows that the handset is running on the 3.4 kernel and with a build number starting with 10.6.A.0. This would fit given the currently released firmware with build 10.5.1.A.0.292 i.e. the move from 10.5 to 10.6. Obviously the screenshot could be a fake, but hopefully it indicates the Lollipop update for older Xperia Z series is just around the corner.

We got bent over a little with how long its taking, but not too concerned ( been having wifi issues, fixes with a restart though)
The post saying "end of next week" is actually end of THIS week... so we'll see... Not too long now, but don't get too excited... I say give Sony another 2 weeks, atleast....

The User Experience is not the smoothest I noticed, Pie of Nokia 5.1 is way more smoother than this one. The overall experience still feel a bit unpolished. As far as UI goes, the corners are again not smooth like they were in a previous Oreo update (specially around the notch), for some weird reason there is circle witht the Pie navigation gesture pill, the launcher is not same as Pixel/Android One, apps such as Digital Wellbeing are not present nor is available to download). Plus point, Google camera is still working, the display and camera are lagging during video calls (just tried on WhatsApp for now). Will add a few more points as I notice.
