Can anyone advise me on the one+ updates, I am still on November security and I read they are bi monthly but normally what time of the month do they drop.
I moved from Samsung, their updates were painfully slow, ironically they are now as fast as Google pixel.
I think we are all on November security patch with the 7T

They have these bi-monthy update thing, so you'd think they at least would issue it with the latest security patch.
And this isn't an excuse, as the 7 Pro got like 2 updates in a week or something lol.
On another note: HydrogenOS got it's first open beta for 7T, so hopefully it arrives soon for OOS.

Well it must end the open Beta for 7 and 7 pro then will bring the update to us.
HydrogenOS already has December rolled...

I was alerted this morning by android authority article on the blueborne vulnerability in Bluetooth. Very scary if implemented on a device running banking app or password manager.
I downloaded Armis blueborne scanner and my lg g3 on pixel aosp ROM is apparently vulnerable. Its got 5 August 2017 security patch.
Google has patched this vulnerability in August but we may have just missed it. Pixel and nexus phones will have the update by now.
Apple phones iPads and watches on ios10 are protected, confirmed by the armis app.
Is there any dev looking at this?

Categories:*Developments,*Featured,*Full XDA,*News,*XDA Feature
Tags:*Android Oreo,*emui 6.0,*Huawei Mate 9
Yesterday’s Google event finally brought us the*Google Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, the*Pixelbook, and the*Home Mini/Max*but even though the Google fervor is now dying down, there’s still much for Android enthusiasts to look forward to in the coming weeks. The mighty*Huawei Mate 10*will soon make its debut on October 16th at a press event in Munich, Germany, and it will be the first public look we will have on Huawei’s upcoming EMUI 6 based on*Android 8.0*Oreo. Ahead of this event, we have obtained access to a*pre-release firmware build of*Android Oreo/EMUI 6 for the*Huawei Mate 9, and there are quite a few interesting changes to note for this upcoming update.
The Huawei Mate 9 was unveiled in*only November of last year*with*top-tier*hardware specifications, so it’s unsurprising to see this device receive an Android Oreo update. There were hints of early work being done on an Android 8.0 update*even as far back as April*of this year, though the build that was leaked at that time was fairly barebones. Now, the build that we have obtained is fully functional and can actually install right on top of MHA-L29C432 (the international Huawei Mate 9 variant) so we did just that to start digging in to what’s new in the EMUI 6 update.
EMUI 6 based on Android Oreo for the Huawei Mate 9
The Things You Would Expect
For starters, let’s get the uninteresting details out of the way. As you would expect, most of the required Android Oreo features are available in this build. That means picture-in-picture mode support, the*strict background app limitations, notification channels, and even that annoying “app is running in the background” notification that you can*thankfully still hide using an app.
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
We should note that although Huawei implemented notification channels, their notification importance controls is actually a holdover from EMUI 5 and not based on the AOSP version that you may be familiar with. I see this as a boon because it means you don’t need a third-party app to*bring back notification importance controls for apps that don’t target Android Oreo.
EMUI 6 Updates
Here is where things get a little bit more interesting. Overall, I would say there aren’t many changes between EMUI 5 and EMUI 6 on the surface, but there are a few new software additions that should make some people happy.
First up, there is a new “screen resolution” option in display settings. This builds upon EMUI 5’s dynamic screen resolution feature called “smart resolution” (which is also present in EMUI 6). While smart resolution would automatically switch between 720p and 1080p in order to conserve power, this new option allows you to manually change between the two resolutions. This method likely beats using the*ADB*“wm size” command, as that ADB command only adjusts the virtual resolution rather than actually having the display render at a lower resolution.
Next, there is a new button that can be placed on the navigation bar. When the button is enabled, it adds a small arrow to the left side of the navigation bar. Pressing this button will temporarily hide the navigation bar until you swipe up from the bottom. For those of you who like having the stock navigation bar but want to occasionally make use of the full-screen real estate on-demand, this new button beats the ADB command that*permanently hides the navigation bar*or*enables immersive mode. This button isn’t technically new as it is present on the Chinese Huawei Mate 9 firmware, but it’s new to the international variant.
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
If you aren’t a fan of the software navigation bar, then there is another new navigation option available for you to try. It’s called*navigation dockand what it does is it places a movable floating button that can replace the navigation bar for all back, home, or recent button presses. This is distinct from EMUI 5’s “floating dock” as that feature acted like a pseudo-pie control wherein pressing the button would expand a list of available navigation options. EMUI 6’s navigation dock instead uses gesture controls such as slide up to go home, slide right for recents, and touch to go back.
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]

Lastly, in developer options, there is something strange that we found. The usual*Bluetooth audio codec customization*features are present, as is the ability to switch between various Bluetooth audio codecs—including*aptX*and aptX HD. aptX and aptX HD are proprietary Bluetooth audio codecs that are owned by Qualcomm, so companies that wish to use them must pay licensing fees to Qualcomm.

We’re not sure why Huawei even made it a selectable option as it doesn’t even work here (picking either of these options simply reverts the selection back to SBC), but then again this*is*a pre-release build so it’s possible these options will disappear in the final release. Perhaps with root access and a*Magisk*Module we can enable support for it much like*Google Nexus 6P*owners can.
Under-the-Hood Changes
You might be wondering by this point why we haven’t yet shown a screenshot of the “About Phone” section. That’s because, like every beta/testing build that Huawei releases internally, the software version is changed to mitigate leaks. Fortunately, it’s rather easy to verify the true software build by taking a peek at the build.prop file. In it, we can see that the following:
[ro.build.version.security_patch]: [2017-09-05] [ro.build.version.release]: [8.0.0] [ro.build.version.sdk]: [26]
and from a separate command, we can find the Linux kernel version
Linux version 4.4.23+ ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.9.x 20150123 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 14 04:10:43 CST 2017
So, it’s pretty clear from this information that the Huawei Mate 9 build we have obtained is indeed based on Android 8.0 Oreo (SDK level 26). The*Linux kernel version is 4.4, updated from 4.1 in the Nougat-based EMUI 5 on the Mate 9. Furthermore, the security patch level is September 2017 which means that the Mate 9 is*safe from the Blueborne vulnerability.
Finally, there are a few things we discovered that are especially interesting to Android enthusiasts. First,*Project Treble*support is there. Though the*kernel sources for the Mate 9*have been available for several months, there aren’t any custom AOSP-based ROMs available for the device.*Maybe Project Treble support will change that, maybe not. This is still interesting as it is the*first confirmed device that has Project Treble support even though it did not launch with Android Oreo.
Last but not least, here’s a thing that nobody expected to happen:*Substratum*support in EMUI. Yes,*Substratum themes work on EMUI 6. This is all thanks to the Overlay Manager Service (OMS) commits that Sony made to AOSP that have finally made their way in a fully working state in Android Oreo. It’s thanks to this that Google Nexus and Pixel users are able to*enjoy full custom theme support*using the*Andromeda add-on for Substratum. We tested both the*command line interface*as well as a*dark theme*in certain apps and can confirm it does indeed work.
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
[https://www1--lw-xda--cdn-com]
Substratum support may not seem as interesting at first glance since Huawei already has its own theme engine, but it should be noted that Substratum will allow you to theme more than just system applications as can be seen in the above screenshot of the Google Messenger application.
That’s all we’ve discovered in this internal, beta build of Android 8.0 Oreo for the Huawei Mate 9. Stay tuned to the XDA Portal as we have more to share about upcoming Huawei and Honor devices. The best way to follow the Portal is by installing the*XDA Labs*application!
The firmware was provided for me to install on my Huawei Mate 9 by*FunkyHuawei.club, a service which lets you install pre-release Huawei firmwares, recover bricked devices, and rebrand/convert China region phones to international variants. The service will support the Mate 10 upon release.*

I mean, you can edit it to make it a little shorter or maybe you can put like, "[SHARE]" to the tags. Even "1 day ago" and other unnecessary things were included in your post.
I am on Android 12 latest release and rooted. I get persistent notifications that I should update to Android 12. How can I stop this annoying notification? I saw a suggestion to disable Google services so I tried that, but all that happened was that I got an even more persistent notification to enable Google services! Any help is appreciated.
Google Pixel Phones Get Duplicate Android 12 Update Notice

Thanks for this response.
Hi Mate,
While searching for a magisk module to convert OOS installed Oneplus 6T as pixel device to upload unlimited photos to Google Photos, I come with this magisk module.
With the help of the module OOS installed Oneplus 6T (and may be others) denoted as Pixel 5 device with following major features:
a. Unlimited Google Photos Storage.
b. Google Discovery on swipe right of OOS launcher.
c. Google Photos portrait filter
d. Others may be.. (please comment if you find out).
Pixel Android 12 as system update will popup once, which we should ignore.
For me SafetyNet gets failed. However with the help of Riru and Universal Safetynet Fix, I am able to Pass Safetynet.
The link of the module (not all the features mentioned in the page are available for our device):
PixelFeatureDrop
Another more feature rich magisk module with many features and without any issue:
Pixelify
Hope it helps the OOS users (and may others).
The problem is that the security patch must match, so if you're running a rom or OOS that has a September security patch or earlier, this will work with the version matching you're security patch. If you're rom is October or later there's likely no way to fix safetynet. There's an Xposed module for unlimited Google photos, and another version of this module called Pixelify with security patches up to November. There's also a 'Pixel Props' channel on telegram with the December security patch.
I can vouch for this module though, it works well. If you're running a rom that uses the pixels system ui you can also get adaptive sound, live caption, pixels wallpapers, the new assistant ui and more.

If will be helpful if you provide the Xposed/Magisk module names to achieve unlimited google photos.
Thanks.
A minimalist approach :
"xmlpak" can achieve unlimited Google photos.
Also I believe that "MagiskHide Props Config" is enough to pass SafetyNet.
Hi,
I'm sure I misunderstood, but does this module make devices that are not original Google's Pixel have the ability to have unlimited storage in google photo?
Hi, is this module works only with custom roms or i can use it with my 11.1.2.2 original oneplus rom with magisk?

It will work with stock OOS as well but need to be rooted. However a more feature rich product exists:
Pixelify
Oneplus 7T with OOS 11.0.6.1.HD65BA not working. Bootloop.
Will this work with Oxygen OS 12/ColorOS 12?

Yes, passes safetynet on Lineage OS when selecting any Pixel Fingerprints.

hi everyone ,,,
I want to share my experience with this phone, the hardware is very good but the software is S***, waited for 1st update 3 months, and nothing fixed, second update 3 months and nothing is fixed, ( unexpected crashes, recent app windows lagging very badly, contacts don't show names in miss calls).
contacted support more than once, they don't have any understanding of any issue its like an auto message that tells you to wait for the next update and they don't have any schedule when the update will be released.
we are in Jan 2022 and my latest update is android 11 , October security patch.
I would not recommend this phone for anyone, don't make the mistake that I did.
I am selling this phone ASAP.
Thank you

I agree that this phone hardware is a beast ! The software unfortunately is really bad especially i came from iOS which everybody knows how good they are with their softwares and updates. I already know that these kinds of android phone maker won't have software support as good as S*msung, let alone Ap*le.
However to be honest i don't have all the problems mentioned in your posts other than occasional Nubia launcher crashing (so i switched to using Niagara Launcher). There are lots of third party modification on playstore which can run great thanks to this phone beastly hardware. So i guess i can live with it.
Have you tried installing Global ROM (any one other than the one came with the phone when you buy it)
They dropped new update for EU Rom, i hope NA & Asia ROM gets an update too asap.
Edit**
Nvm update v427 for NA and Asia is available. Gonna try install it.
