When owning a midrange "motonovo" device, being optimistic and having hope is the best strong suit for waiting on updates ?

I'm hoping feb 9th. My birthday lol. I've tried every ROM out there and they're all excellent, but I just can't deal with the camera. I need shutter speed and iso adjustments so pictures of things like the moon look like what we see rather than a random white dot. I haven't been able to find any ROM that does it better than a stock variant with Moto camera in professional mode, so I'm stuck on Nougat until Lenovotorola gets off their butts and gives us Oreo.

Just recieved today November patch, lol, XT1680 retar channel. Just Wondering why I was at compilation NPNS25.137-15-11 and now is NPN25.137-97.

It looks like oreo is closer.. end of january or start of february probably.. unless lenovo screw up again
-------------
This security patch changelog was up since november, so there is no reason for us not to get oreo, i mean it is probably outdated.

Can anyone with XT1686 (Indian variant) post a screenshot of the build number of the latest January update?

I know that a January security patch is due tho but it won't be 137-92/93

I don't think the january patch will be released alone, it will come along with oreo mid-feb

You might be right

Does anyone know why my g5 plus hasn't been updated in so long,
It says software channel retgb and I'm still on 1st august security patch, honestly this is making me want to go back to iPhone, that's getting on for 5 months out of date for basic security.

retgb here also, security is only an issue if you use phone unwisely, in locations wifi you cannot trust, apps installed from unknown sources or dodgy websites, if not doing any of the above you should be fine.
There is only so much security you can build into any OS, the rest is down to you.

Is that the same security patch level though?
Android Security : Includes the updates of Android security patches through April 1st 2018.
So though to 1st April would be March, but not April... Unless there was a security patch on April 1st??
Edit.. Just checked and the security patch after March was on 2nd April. So the patch for G5S seems to be for March security patches also.
Just received March security patch in Poland (RETEU).
Well, i will probablu receive this patch in 10 days because RETLA is the last one receiving these patches

2nd November update (latest stock ROM image)

Can someone that has the 2nd november update on their phone check if the version V9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF is the latest stable ROM?
I have the October update and I am experiencing battery life problems, so I need to update. If this is not the latest updated ROM, than can someone point out where to find it.
Thanks!

Yes, This Is The Latest One.
i have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF its 2nd november patch with new fingerprint gestures
Thank you! Any ideas where I could find the latest rom? It's not posted on the http://en.miui.com yet.
No problem, maybe you need install last one from miui forum and then update it trough OTA. Bcs they bit slow in releaseing it... Last post about Mi A2 Lite ROM i found is this: en.miui.com/thread-4400899-1-1.html
Is there any changelog for updates?
I can't find new gesture bro. How can i get it?

No new gestures for me, only camera with power button.
I have OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF your patch from November 1
How many November 2018 updates are there? It seems there are 2. Is this correct? I see a reference to November 1 and another to November 2. So, there are 2 updates, I think. I am asking because I have the latest update, I think. From the the "System" settings I copied this build number: opm1.171019.019.v9.6.11.0.odlmiff. What is odd is that the phone says: "Your system is up to date, Android version 8.1.0, security patch level: November 1, 2018. It does not say security patch November 2, 2018.
I had my phone set for automatic updates, so I never noticed if it updated once or twice.
Can anyone make this clearer to me?

Check the build date of your kernel. Should say November 12 for the second November update.
I got my phone yesterday, and received the October update immediately, however no sign of a November update! Is there something I need to do? I keep checking for updates but nothing is coming! I've also restarted the phone, changed sim, but no November love for me!

no, it's stock.
There is no security update other than November 1, 2018 with the build number V9.6.11.0. But if you are a beta tester or anyhow updated your phone to Android Pie then in that case you can get November 5, 2018 security update.

Maybe I wasn't clear! When I check for updates I get a message that my phone is up to date!

Google puts out the updates, in general; every month or as needed. I have no communications with the developer GothicIV. I just check his web site and if the security updates are there, I download and apply to my phone.
GothicIV posted September 2020 updates yesterday (19th).
October 2020 security updates are available...
November 2020 security updates available.
December 2020 security updates are available
Hey there,
I have attempted to update to the 3 most recent security patches (Oct 25, Nov 7, Dec 13) for LineageOS 16.0 (potter) provided by gothicVI, but after successfully flashing them my phone bootloops back to TWRP 3.4.0.0 after trying to boot system for a few minutes.
I have logcat logs for each security patch boot attempt.
I am currently stuck on the Oct 9 security patch as it is the latest version that will boot on my phone.
Where I can get help with this?
gothicVI is awesome, so far Moto G5 Plus seems pretty much abandoned, pixel experience lags too much on my 2gb ram variant. Time to buy a new phone but for now gonna use this.

Is that the only issue? I flashed crDroid 6.13 from the latest twrp with no problems so far. Any issues besides restore I should be aware of if I decide to move to another rom?

What patch are you on? Also which country? I'm looking to get this phone, but security updates are high on my list. Are you enjoying the phone. If you lost it would you buy again?
