Will the ZUK Z2 get Android 11? - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

I found Android 11 announcements for several devices.
No announcement for devices with the Snapdragon 820.
Google did not even announce Android 11 for the Pixel 1.

Considering the fact tat devices much older than zuk z2 are still receiving updates through custom roms...I feel that z2 plus will also receive andriod 11 once it is out

Of course dude it doesn't depend on soc, it depends on who can make the android built

How about this Android 11 for Zuk Z2?
Well, this update is via a LineageOS 18 build.

Already out
Custom ROMs like lineageOS18, ArrowOS, PixyOS

Yes all ROMs are in Alpha stage so don't expect stability there are bugs both device side and gapps related also so wait untill it become stable and have patience

Well dude the G3 development is extremely slow, and you say, why you say that. Many others devices more older than G3 have p roms not free of bug but enough stable for dayli driver for example motorola devices, xiaomi and many others, if you go and check the lineage Os Page you can see there's no single Lg that have official support for lineage 15.1, even an older device like g3 have 8.1 through Crdroid and is smooth and stable at least for my device D851 variant. So conclusions the G3 development is practically dead, thanks to God for the devs that continue with the development, you know slow but is better than nothing.

As far as I have read here in XDA. We have to wait for Android P GSI release, after which developers can start working on ROM for respective devices.
That still hasn't happened yet !! So you have to wait for that to happen before development can start.
There are rumors that LineageOS and Resurrection Remix ROM team has got their hands on that. But then again, I am not sure. It just talks happening in internet. But if that is true, expect ROMs based on those distributions tree to get P sooner than others.
Some flagship devices are getting Android p beta too
Mi mix 2s, nokia 7 Plus... And some others...

They are business partners of Google. So those hardware makers will get much early access to up coming code compare to general public. As far as I am aware, this code is still not open source, so legally also devs cant modify or work on this.
Regarding devices, OnePlus, Pixel, Nexus devices and many more will get much early access to this beta.
As far as I know, code will become open source with GSI release and that will start the development for custom ROM !!

Thanks, I was also wondering the same thing and this helped to answer my questions about what's happening.
I think Android P GSI is released now.

official beta program for oneplus 5t closed recently. so not sure about they are going to launch a beta program for official oxygen os (android 10) again for oneplus 5t. but oneplus said that android 10 will come to oneplus 5t. i guess it will take some time like 3t to get its pie update. may be in next year mid we will get official android 10 for 5t. other than that i hear that pixel experience is working on android 10, but it depends on the developer whether or not to develop it for 5t.

What about treble roms? Do the GSI-Builds from Erfan work on our device? Anyone tested already? There is even a OOS Android 10 treble rom.

It works since last beta releases. Almost stable tho. But fingerprint scanner not working. OOS Q GSI not working on 5T because of data partition problem.
GSI discussion is more active in Telegram. You can find the TG link on first page of forum you just posted. Here's 5/5T TG link https://t.me/OP5QGSI

Confused: Why 32bit only OS on Moto G5 64bit hardware?

Hi!
If I understand things correctly, my Moto G5 phone is born with an Android OS version that only accepts 32bit code, although the hardware is 64bit?
Why did Moto do that? It sounds like selling a car with a 6 or 8 cylinders engine, and only use 4 of them...?!
And on top of that, I discovered they stopped updating that (primitive 32bit) Android 8.1.0 OS in February 2019...
Should I switch to a custom 64bit ROM? NB!: Stability and robustness is more important to me than fancy new features...!
I found 2 lists of 'Best ROMs for Moto G5'. The shortest recommends 8 here:
https://romsx.com/best-custom-roms-for-moto-g5/
So which should I choose?
NB: Moto G5 only has 16 GB.

You will have to ask Motorola for the answer to the first part
As for custom 64bit roms:
Lineage 17.1
Lineage mint (based on lineage 17.1)
ASOP android 10
Are the latest custom roms for this device (see dev section)
All will have the same issue with regards to camera/video recording not working fully

Thank you for your reply!
But what about ROMs that have been more tested in real life, where camera and video etc. work?
Yes - it is Motorola that should answer my first questions. I don't expect any answer from them... But others might have a comment...

All 64bit roms will have the camera issue as Motorola have not released updated camera libs
The roms I listed above are the latest roms which will have the camera bug minimised but you will still experience issues in some apps like only being able to take a certain amount of photos before the app freezes, camera not working in low light, green tint, video not recording/saving and so on. You can use various other apps but nothing is perfect and you may still experience issues
The only fully functioning custom rom with no bugs will be the 32bit lineage 14.1

That is the most useful information I have yet seen about custom ROMs - thank you!
But according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973 LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 is:
ROM OS Version: 7.1.x Nougat
Last Updated 2018-03-18
And the 'stock' OS on my Moto G5 is Android 8.1.0 updated in February 2019.
My intention was to UPgrade my OS, not DOWNgrade it... !
So THAT LineageOS 14.1 doesn't really seem relevant.
And on https://download.lineageos.org/ there doesn't seem to be a version for Moto G5(?) There are versions for G4 and G6, but not G5. (Neither under Lenovo - the actual producer.)
But thanks anyway!

Only official versions will be on the lineageos website
There is no difference between an official and unofficial version except the official versions are built on the lineage servers every week with any lineage side changes (not device side unless merged by maintainer)
However official versions have to meet certain criteria in terms of everything that works in stock rom must work in the unofficial lineage build submitted to become official.
As the camera doesn't work as it does in stock in lineage 17.1 it will never become official in its current state
They are listed under Motorola because that is the company that makes the phones
Lenovo is the parent company that owns Motorola

Thank you.
But I am not 100% sure about whether you are confirming that the stock ROM on Moto G5 is the newest available Android OS version where everything works?

Stock rom will be the latest os version where everything works 100%
All 64bit custom roms have camera issues due to no updated propriety sources

That's sad.
So when I want to buy a phone in the future:
Which other smart phone brands will probably not leave their customers with 'a choice between plague or cholera'...?

Samsung will have the most community support as they are the most popular phones
Google pixel will obviously have longevity
Xiaomi might be the best budget choice other than later Motorola models

I am using LineageOS 17.1 for some weeks, it looks little bit like stock rom on XZ2 compact and works very well. Sadly, i have broken proximity sensor so in call i have all time black screen but overall excellent rom.
I havent tried 18.1, because i prefer android 10.

Latest vanilla. Maybe you should try reflash .236 original .ftf file with flashtool and try again.
Or try new battery.
