What's next? SP or Oreo? - Moto G5 Plus Guides, News, & Discussion

Are there any release notes for may security patch?
I hope we will receive oreo next..

Personally I think Oreo will come perhaps 1-2 months after the G6 launch.
I still see Motorola using the Android 7 v 8 comparison between the phones as a marketing ploy.

they have sent emails comparing the G5S having 7.1 vs the new G6 with android 8.0.. and then there are the fanboys of motorola saying it was never delayed..

Motorola could step up and give us the android P beta, then release the official in august-september, it counts as only one update just dreaming

The Galaxy Nexus got an 8.1 port so I doubt they would give up on the g5 phones

Consider this:
On how Oreo 8 works vs current 7 so it's a biggie https://www.androidpolice.com/2017/...-will-modularize-android-make-updates-faster/.

Moto G5 Plus will not support project treble

Oreo != Treble. We won't get treble.
Lenovo screwed us over, stock-ish Android but no major updates or improvements other than security patches. I will never buy another one of their phones again that's for sure. Next device will probably be a Android One device like the Nokia 7 Plus.

Android O based Custom ROM coming soon!

Android O has already booted on g5 plus somewhere!
(Looks like vache is working on a Android O based custom ROM.)
Exciting!
Maybe its just me, but Oreo seems to be progressing a lot faster for non nexus devices than previous android versions. Can't wait.

Yup one of the feature is easy migration and seems like not lot of changes too.
This is just a start, a good one. Apparently, there are many bugs to be fixed. Also, I wonder whether Treble will be integrated (or we have wait till Motorola's official release)
This looks promising. Thanks for sharing
Moto G5S plus is running android 7.1.1 (INDIA) out-of-the-box and here we are still running 7.0
why this partiality? or lack of team?
we are thinking of Android O huuh!

Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5S Plus have the same firmware. The difference lies in screen size and camera.
So it will not be difficult for Lenovo to update Moto G5 Plus. But I don't think Lenovo will update Moto G5 Plus with even security patches, Android version upgrade seems impossible.
for those who canr wait to check.

HTC 10 and Android P

Hello,
with rumors of Android P coming in, do you think HTC 10 will get Android P officially or LineageOS 16? I think we won't get it officially because the phone is from 2016, but Galaxy S6 from 2015 is likely to get Android O so it is possible...

I personally doubt it, htc 10 came with 6, got 7 l, were lucky htc promised 8 l, and even then the whole way official android 8 is going doesn't seem well, I'm thinking that some htc 10's will get android 8 while some will stay on android 7.
Why would htc even do that? It doesn't make any sense.
(heh, 'sense')

(heh, 'sense')
And what about custom roms/LineageOS?
I think this is all a bit early. Android O hasn't even been pushed to all CID's.....
I think if the dev didnt find the fix of radio downgrade issues with oreo firmware ,we will never get LineageOS or any asop roms
This is my opinion about the 10 for now
I wouldn't hold my breath on Android 'P'. I just hope we get lucky and receive Android 8.1 to fix some of the bugs in 8.0.

With the history of updates from HTC that I know of, by the time P comes out, the 10 will be considered EOL

If I could as lucky T-mobile did't release 8.0 and looks like they want either, I was holding out but looks like I'll be moving on
I'd love an update that let's me uninstall Instagram and Facebook. Android P would be icing on the cake though

Android P

Will Honor 8 pro get android P update as it supports treble which technically means android updates should be easier to get

Well Redmi Note 3 is also eligible for official Android P update, if Qualcomm releases 650 drivers, but....... hehehe, so u know the story my friend
Any news about the Honor 8 Pro getting Android P?
At least it is getting the GPU Turbo, so it is looking rather good with updates

You need to be patient... Because a10 is not fully stable.... You need to wait because once its out, it is surely stable on EU
You are right, but we waited for more than half a year now

Other companies also experience it. Not all. Though we are android one but afaik we are the only sd665 who has a10... Development really is a pain not to mention pandemic involved. At least they are doing something...
Funny I got an update of 32.69M.
Not much difference.
Anyone has a link for the rom?

If coming from 10 thats is small. Because it is only bug fixes. E.g. return of xiaomi branded sensors so fp icon appears when picking up phones and EIS now works

Odd. The update for me appears as a 1.33 GB.
Update is 32,69mb for me (already on android 10 april update). Gonna report back if I find any fixes/bugs.
edit: as expected it didn't fix system wide long exposure photos limit set to 0,3 s max.
If they don't see it as a bug but a "feature reduction" then am gonna go china and make them eat raw bats.

There are plenty of new phones with SDM665 running Android 10 just fine, the Motorola G line and Nokia 5.3 do come to mind. SDM665 is nothing but a slightly tweaked SDM660, which is running Android 10 just fine in plenty of other devices. My Mi A2 runs Android 10 just great! (not with Xiaomi's stock ROM, though...)
The pandemic is just the latest excuse in a long-list of excuses. Did they have a pandemic last year when they effed up the Mi A2 upgrade? Did they have a pandemic when they effed up the Mi A1 upgrades? Let's just face facts, Xiaomi doesn't give a rats arse about the Android One phones. They just (barely) fulfill their contractual obligations so that Google doesn't force them out of the certification.

Well there are things done right and some things are just hacks that when people use both they are the same thats why sometimes custom rom fixes first. Well another thing android one is less profitable than miui

Arrived at the global version with many fixes. FP is running very well , EIS it is now available again , still the shutter speed is not fixed. I am very interesting to see the update on EU roms , i expect a bug free version there
new update is pretty good for me...

Nubia red magic android 11

Yes, we shouldnt count on it, but lets hope nubia put more effort in this time around, their updates and fixes for RM5g is quite good allready for the android 10 rom. They have fixed almost all bugs and issues the users have reported.

Nubia technical staff has assured us that 11 will come to RM5G.
Also, a phone has been pooled by RM5G users for a good dev and he has started working on AOSP for the phone.
