Hello,
End of this week I get the new XA1 device. The seller Vodafone wrote that this devices comes with Android Oreo. Anyone knows if Substratum works without root?

Samsung Galaxy C5

Hi there!
I was just curious to know if any dev is working on galaxy c5(SM-C5000)
because finally it has working twrp and a working rooting method
I tried myself for a Grace Ux port and I almost got all apps working except for the settings and the system ui.
I know this will be very easy for a seasoned developer because we have a proper TW MM base.
Any help would be appreciated!

My brother has this phone, were from Romania. He's using it on Vodafone and there is no problem. There are 2 firmwares for this phone: China and Hong Kong. There is no european or some other firmware. The phone was bought with Chinese firmware but without Google Play services and to install them nothing worked unless flashing through custom recovery which I wanted to avoid. The HK firmware has Play Store in it and it's working without problems. He's satisfied with it. Most probably will work in Poland as well.

Ok, thanks for fast response.
I definately would flash this phone to smth custom, like CM or LineageOS, I hate touchwiz (I have now a3 2016) and my phone has such a potential but can't feel it without breaking out from touchwiz :/

Installed Oreo Beta On Honor 8 Pro at Last!

Thanks to 23anand23 for his post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75120971&postcount=208) on how to update Indian DUK-L09 to Android 8 (unlocked bootloader needed) There is no problem in unlocking the bootloader, it's easy and non tedious job and the bootloader can be easily unlocked later if you want.
Everything is same except the new Oreo features. Also, I heard that it has Project treble support. As we know that Treble makes updates easy, but do you really think we will be getting updates?
[I am using Nova Launcher, so there are two images, one with default launcher and one with Nova]

Android P

Hi, I didn't find any information about android P for our Z2 Force here. We get 3 years security updates on Z series, right? And android P as last big major upgrade, hopefully. Has anybody latest news about P? If not yet, now we have a thread for infos about that
Dude P hasn't even been released yet

That's great, but sorry, we talk about Z2. But I think we get it. Why not? Hope end of the year. Or is it possible to get the beta of P working shortly? Do any developer think about that way?

Not publicly, sorry. It is advertising another service if I do.
Full treble modularity is pretty much complete and should be in lineage and a public statement possibly in the near future. we are VNDK compliant on the treble alpha builds.

As stated we repurposed OEM (which isn't used in aosp builds) as vendor. No repartition needed.

This device will be sure upgrade to Android P. It was launched with Android 8.0 OOB in India and at that time they were telling it will get Android P update (don't know when)
Also Moto Z was released with Android 6 , now running Android 8 (surprisingly i got update notification to July patch at the same time on both phones , retin ) so its obvious It will get Android P. But i don't think it would be first as moto/Lenovo is more busy with low/mid-range devices.
The thing im concerned with is Android Q (since it was launched with Android O here and moto gives 2 upgrades .)
Sent from my Moto Z2 Force using XDA Labs
P is now confirmed. Have it from a german source. Seems to come this year. But no 8.1 Z3 has Snapdragon 835, too. So we get the 9.0 Upgrade faster than the others

When will beta 9.0 come out ?

Hey There...
Does anyone knows when will beta version of EMUI 9.0 be available globally. They said it would be in July if anyone knows exact date ?
Any help would be appreciated
I bet they have silently cancelled it, there was a beta project in my country, I was approved, but never received the ota, it is now gone from the beta app.
Pretty disappointed tbh, Huawei and Honor just lost yet another customer

But some recent news on internet are even confirming EMUI 9.1 for our device. How could they cancel 9.0 and confirm 9.1. Maybe they are upgrading the device directly to 9.1 that's why they removed the 9.0 Update from FUT

I did not say they would cancel the update altogether, just the beta project, which they obviously did.

There seem to be some updates for your model on Firmware Finder, if you're willing to tinker with it you can give HuRUpdater a try. Personally, I just wanted emui 9 to move to newer openkirin releases.

Yes there are but I don't have a spare phone these days to use as a daily driver if anything messes up so I am a little bit afraid to do a force update.

Which security patch did you have on EMUI 9.1? I'm looking to move to OmniRom and apparently the security patches from May onwards caused bootloops with OpenKirin images.

It came with the June security patch, I was not able to use OmniRom (bootloops as you said, adb starts tho not fully) but I actually tried RR for emui 9 and it worked

np, I got pretty worried when I got the bootloop, thinking that the update to emui 9.1 was somehow "incomplete".
Btw under RR the device is seen as "Kirin Treble" and not Honor 7X, but from what I can tell everything works fine. Do you also have the European model?
