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..

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.

Hi guys,
because this is one of the most asked questions, I wanted to keep this thread with the most actual information.
Announcement from UMI through Facebook on 2017 02 08

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.

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 ....

When Will We Get The New oxygen Os 4.5.0 for our OnePlus 3?? It Rockzz Will We Get That In Future???
hahaha being a freeloader myself I came here today explicitly to get an answer to this question. But I am patient and wouldn't ask for an ETA though. It WILL come eventually I know.
Lol, we can be lucky if we still get any updates because the focus is now on the OP5 i bet. I think Android O is the same lie like the OP2 get Nougat back in the days...
But thank god the rom community for OP3 is very big, so we can still get updates through roms.
Well, their software support did improve a lot since OP2 days, so I'd say there is a hope for OOS 4.5 and even 5.0 (Android O).
But I don't expect it to come instantly.
That said, the devices (3/3T and 5) are still quite similar and sources are up, so we'll probably get at least unofficial ports soon.

We already have all features of the oneplus 5 in open beta so i dont think we need 4.5.0 and beta is pretty stable so far. Only thing i am hoping for them to give update to Android O but even if they dont we have a pretty great developer community and will surely get android O from custom roms

It should be similar to the monochromacy mode in simulate color space under Hardware accelerated rendering in Developer settings.
I think updates for the OP3/T may depend on if the 5 does well enough, if it does not do as well then they will prob slow the updates for 3/T like Apple does so u have to get the new version, but if it does as good as the 3 did they will prob keep it updated until next release, which I will prob wait for if they stop jacking up the price almost 100.00 every time

I want to buy a fone. Any suggestions how much time to recieve custom roms....
dont ask for ETA, I also ordered one Honor 7x too
When a phone is brand new with absolutely NO Roms out yet I'm pretty sure the whole "Don't ask for ETAs" rule doesn't count. Relax. Please be honest with yourself.
This device will only do good (For some people) if it gains dev support. Kirin is closed source from what I understand so development sucks when compared to Honor/Huawei devices with SD chips so inquiring minds will want to know.
I'm ready for an upgrade from my Honor 5X myself but can't pull trigger due to lack of support for 6X or 7X. Honor is good about updates but I need more control over my device (Root, hotspot, and Roms) past the 2 year update standard. I would go to xaiomi redmi unlocked but their US device lacks 1 of the LTE bands I need on AT&T.
Plus I actually really love my Honor 5x device and respect the company for their attempts to make affordable higher end device and come to XDA with so much support on launch of company. I won't for get that but I still need a device soon.

I mean, there's OpenKirin, not sure about this being closed source with kernel sources already released. It depends on which skilled dev feels like picking up this device.

Here we go guys, Some manufacturers already showed their roadmap to android 10 (nokia, one plus etc) today.
Im creating this topic to discuss the Update Release for our Phone, so we dont have multiple threads for discussing it. News and things like that are welcome.
Android 10 will be released very soon for the Pixel.
Now let us pray that we are also going to receive it. And hopefully not like in 2023.

i highly doubt we'll get Android 10 for the phone...
the phone is already 2 years old and between years 2-3 it will probably receive only security updates...and that will probably be every 3 months too.

Yep, and Official Android 10 binaries 5 posts above is just an illusion, you are completely right !
I'm hoping for a full Android 10 Sony branded update, but not holding it hope.
We've got AOSP support, but there's a lot of driver and codec deficiencies in that build, like losing aptX and H.264.
https: developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/get-started/supported-devices-and-functionality/current-platform-functionality-maintained
Hey Sony - please make a Difference and keep updating Devices to latest Android for (at least) 5 Years.
i'm sure that would also increase Sales !
