Hi,
That answer was written by me. Until now that's all what we know but hopefully it can be released much sooner. Unfortunately, nothing is certain yet.
We'll inform the community as soon as we can promise at least an approximate release date.

So I guess you work directly for UMI as a software engineer or community manager?

Yes, communication and a bit of marketing. Sorry but you cannot expect engineers to pop up here.

I have not seen many UMI brand phones which have released source codes, but I was wondering if you have any plans of releasing the kernel sources and/or full sources for this device.
I am looking to buy this phone, but I would like to be able to compile my own kernel and ROM for the devices I own

dont be waiting for nougat.i have a z3+ with nougat and in android N everything is worse than mm

The new Ulefone Gemini Pro was presented last week on MWC 2017.
http://www.stuff.tv/my/features/ulefone-gemini-pro-almost-carbon-copy-iphone-7-plus
This phone also has a X27 SoC, but it is already running Android 7.0.
So Mediatek released Nougat-drivers for X27 a few weeks ago to Ulefone.

This makes me sad.

Well its quite possible some dev could work some magic , bet the main boards are not too different from a reference board by mediatek , umi spec has well known components for screen and camera so possible to hack a port from same soc or even just tweak a few drivers and swap kernal ...we need a dev

Are there any sources out?

Not from UMI, there are phones with mtek socs running nougat , there seems to be phones with other components the same running nougat. So the ingredients are out, problem is cooking this into a working ROM would be a big job.
I recall when mm came out my HTC had a hacked together version that worked quite well, but the source for loli was out so there was a starting point.
Linage os would clearly be the place to start , find a mtek soc based ROM an hack I guess, beyond me , but someone who understands could prob work something

I hope they release soon so we can get you a customized rom, because the original is leaving to be desired, its customization is very bad. Congratulations to all programmers who are interested in customizing a rom for our Z.

Looks like it won't be too long now till 7 beta ....

Waiting anxiously ....

I see no way the 2015 X gets O officially. But it can be rooted so it will likely be available that way.

It isn't necessary!
Every Android devices can be rooted.
The device should be capable of the upgrade then only any official or unofficial ROMs can be made for it.

I believe that was my point. As for every Android device can be rooted, I'm sure there are examples of that not being so. Right now the Moto Z Force Droid cannot be rooted.

The Z Play get? Would be great

I don't really believe that article (yet).
It now also has a "(received)" behind some devices. Is Android O really already rolling out?!
Also there is not source of any kind provided...

Yup!
But maybe this is correct because Motorola have decided to give Android O to G4 plus and and G5 plus.

well...ill believe it when i see it. they also told us the droid ultra/maxx would be getting successive updates that never happened. know what we got instead? "here, have a discount towards a new phone"

And do you have a source for that information? Or did they just tell you?

Ok stop with these thread already. I know i'm upping the thread for you but this is non-sense.
Even if any Moto phone is getting android O, if at all, it's going to be more than a year from the RELEASE of android O anyway.
Look left. Do you see my avatar? Yeah, I'm gonna be like that before any of this happens.

vietkao, please click unsubcribe for all threads containing Android O in the title according to your statement for at least half a year and let others discuss what they want. It is known there can't be any facts at this time, but like the linked article says, there are valid speculations which devices could be eligible for the update. You may tell that it makes no sense at this time (I think it does, it may change my recommendations to friends and family which device to buy!) and then we may discuss this, but "stop the thread" is not appropriate. Thank you in advance

and XT1635-02 ???

@tute123456, you are aware that XT1635-02 is listed as Moto Z Play in the "probably supported devices list" in the OP, aren't you?

Moto G5 in UK

I've just got a Moto G5 in the UK and surprised to see that where's no update? People were talking about an update on the Moto G5 and there's no update? If no one knows it's fine ?

Please don't post asking etas - this is because no one here works at Motorola and so we know as much as you do - its pointless asking - any reply saying anything else is speculation & not based on any facts (even if it comes from Motorola tech support as they don't know either - they just read off a script)

Sure sorry. It's fine now because I asked on Twitter and Motorola said that it's about carrier and model plus location. So I got an answer. Thanks anyway

G5 7.1.1

I've heard that the Moto G5 is getting 7.1.1? Is this correct? I'm waiting for the update! To confirm this. Thanks in advance

please don't open threads like this - iv heard that i'm going to win the lotto next week - doesn't mean its going to happen
As to is this correct? How do we know? Your're the one telling us - Members of xda don't know what is going inside Motorola and only know what is publicly released by them.
its not informative and there are plenty of other update type threads already - we don't need yet another

If I'm "wrong" blame this guy?!

I don't think he was suggesting it was wrong, just that no one outside of Motorola knows. A lot of people have not had a single update to their Moto G5 and are still running Android 7.0 with a security patch level of January 2017...

If that was a Motorola chat person it's been proven they don't know dates or anything about releases other than what is already publicly available on the Motorola website
Soak tests can last months & then they are rolled out in stages depending on the following
Geographical location
Device variant
Retail (sim unlocked from purchase) or branded (bought from a carrier eg Vodafone or other non retail eg amazon)
If a Motorola chat person gives you a date it's because they are fed up with people asking & just want to get rid of you

Please do NOT post "Is Update, 7.x.x, O preview, etc" threads... 99.96% of these are purely speculative, and the other .04% are subject to change at any moment.
Also, before posting a thread, please ensure that there isn't ALREADY a similar thread previously posted as only ONE thread for each topic needs to be active in Xda.
Otherwise we'll have 6,824 threads about the next upcoming release, because everyone wants to see their name as OP, or can't check the forum to see if there is a thread about that topic already opened.
Please read and follow the forum rules BEFORE posting.
In this instance, pay particular attention to Rule #1
Thanks for your cooperation.

That would be really cool! Even if it's only a soak test.

Yawn! Color me totally underwhelmed.

People have to keep in mind that devs need the official oreo to fix bugs and other stuff in oreo roms for our Potter. Some might not care and I get that, but we still need the stock oreo rom.

Is it 64 or 32 bits?

That's sucks. But I think the devs will still be able to use the future source code to use it on 64 roms, right?

Kernel version though..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What's up with the kernel version? Sure, it's not the newest update at 3.18.71, though apparently this is to ensure Qualcomm and other driver providers can keep supporting the chips. I'm hoping that Treble can make this simpler for those devices with native Treble support...
Rebasing to a new kernel version during an upgrade is tricky. QCOM and other chipset vendors tend to stick with a particular kernel version for the lifetime of a chipset family, and just backport the desirable features and fixes. If we move the kernel "ahead" of our chipset vendor then they have a much harder time supporting us. Since we try to get the upgrades out as quickly as possible, we stay aligned with the chipset vendor's kernel as much a possible.
I suspect that Google will continue to pressure chipset vendors to keep their kernels up-to-date, so maybe we will see some changes in 2018. We will also ask Google to consider a kernel update as a "security update" rather than an a full-fledged upgrade. This removes a number of barriers to getting new kernels into the handsets of consumers as quickly as possible.
