There are lots of roms for g5 but not for se (well at least i could not find any). so yeah i want new os, Will LG G5 SE get any custom roms and/or android oreo update?
hello
I suppose this device is not well endorsed by the community: I had a nexus5x that bootlooped twice and Lg offered me this device. In exchange.

Here is some news about LG's plans for Oreo on the G5 and the G6:
http://www.androidfinest.com/lg-g6-and-g5-android-o/
If this article is correct, unlocked G5s should start seeing Oreo available next month, with carrier models following soon thereafter.

If thats correct some verizon users should see it this month or next lol....
I am not gonna hold my breath....
what do you think?
Will it help if maybe everyone of us will start complaining openly about the lack of the Oreo update?
Maybe a lot of mentions on twitter/fb on their social media will speed up the process
Hi all. Who else concerned about future security patches?? Im pretty much tired of endless android versions. I would rather get security patches. Anyone else got january security patch??? I hope this phone will get it too soon.

Cool thanks... I really hope so...
Hey guys I was wondering is there any upcoming Oreo roms coming to the G5? Because I was snooping through the G3 forums and found a OREO rom for the G3 not 100% working but they have a rom on there so anything upcoming to the G5 guys? I know it sounds very very demanding but im really excited to use this new update or a new rom to the G5

No doubt oreo roms are coming up and since I also developed some roms I am 100% sure some oreo custom roms already exists but are disclosed for the developer himself to test and fix the issue. As you might know devs don't like to give users very experimental stuff. But you might have seen the oreo changes under the hood as one of the big things: Project Treble. (See this link for more without having to dig in google itself https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017/09/android-8-0-oreo-thoroughly-reviewed/2/#h1 So other devices also have issues like bluetooth, camera and so on not working but I'm sure official oreo roms will come out within a period of 1-2 months as some phones already almost have fixed all oreo bugs like the HTC M10. Don't want to wait? Compile it yourself and contribute to the community if some devs aren't working on it already due to their lives/families I don't know whether LG G5 will reach oreo despite its age we all know how good manufacturer can be look at oneplus their software support for the oneplus 2 for instance. And the LG G5 is officially supported by LineageOS 15.0 if I'm correct. So just a little more patients

Thats true. I can wait for the oreo roms to come up, Can't wait for the devs to make one thanks for telling me about whats going on means a lot
Weve got to let sweet rom cookies bake in the kitchen for a bit first
Hey all,
I am new to v30s and I recently picked up a great deal on a AT&T H931 that I hoped to use on Tmobile with a custom rom. I frankensteined to US998 and rooted it with the guides on here and all went well.
I understand their is a issue with all AOSP roms bootlooping on the H931, and I was just curious if anyone had any insight development wise if it is likely that their will be custom AOSP roms working on this soon? I may just resell the phone now and look for something else if it is something that is not going to be possible as I know the development on it may be difficult and the issues with bootlooping is only affecting a few models I assume it is not a priority for many devs, but I didn't want to give up on it right away if the fix is likely close.
My 2nd question is knowing AOSP roms do not work I was wondering if there are any good custom modded stock roms that may work on the h931? Sorry if that is a dumb question.
Thanks in advance!
I'd like to know too. me2151's thread has lost steam with no real answers. V30 is over a year old now so I'd say hope is dimming. I'm still very happy with the phone on 8.0 US998 stock, but man I'd love some pie.
Uh, I think the only ones with problems are H932

Former H931 and H933 cannot boot any of the Oreo AOSP/Lineage ROMs. They can only use stock-based ROM like Boombox.
One H933 guy got PIE Havoc to install and boot, but others want to know how he did it.

Huh, I stand corrected. Guess I'm glad I didn't buy an H931 on eBay.

Theres been no progress updates. been too busy working on Invictrix to focus on device stuff. in other news. I am moving away from the v30. I have a 6t now.
So multiple models have gotten their Oreo cookie and RS988 appears to not have. Is that true for everyone else or am I alone here ?
Anyone hear something about it from a reliable source ?
Nope, nothing for the RS988. I'm not holding my breath. If it comes, great.
If we get it, we'll probably be one of the last devices to get it.

Found any way to update?
I wrote an email to the chief technical officer of ZTE and asked if development for the Axon 7 is still ongoing. Here is a screenshot of the answer.
Can you link exactly who you wrote to? I would like to confirm this.

Pm for now to avoid possible email spamming.
As for all the others who read this, here is a little more explanation:
He is the technical chief officer of zte and stands in direct contact with the dev team. He is also the reason we got the zip for disabling system write protection in the first place. Without him i wouldn't have gotten the update.zip (with disabled system write protection) and @raystef66 couldn't have made a flashable zip for us.
Great contact! Thanks.
Anyway to get the PIE IMS so we can get wifi calling working on Oreo or Pie?

VoLTE should work on any of the big Oreo ROMs. WFC is hit or miss (even on stock ROM). I'm assuming Oreo is gonna be the last android version we can install and still have these things work (unless some dev out there finds a way to get past this roadblock in the future). Either way, I kinda doubt ZTE would provide any further updates for us beyond Oreo. I'm assuming that the response given in the OP meant that they would fix everything that's still broken and missing on 8.0; not begin development for Pie (especially since the Axon 10 is just around the corner, pulling resources into a 3-year-old phone just isn't a sound decision from a business standpoint).

It is if ZTE expect some form of customer loyalty on future purchase decisions. Would you buy the Axon 10/11/12 etc. based on your Axon 7 experience? Yes they had disruptions from trade sanctions etc. but that's not the consumers fault and imo ZTE should be doing everything they can to restore faith in their brand.
They're basically starting again.
They need an affordable flagship like the Axon 7 was. If they don't, it will be hard to gather enough sales to start a customer pool and try for return purchase later on.
Current customers are wary, sceptical and untrusting after that whole fiasco and rightly so.

They just need to copy and paste the Axon 7 with newer specs.
Maybe bumping it to 6" in order to have more internal space would do the trick.
I still can't understand how did they think that the Axon 9 Pro was a good idea. They litterally took all that was great about the A7 and...deleted it.
Now...a bit of an on topic question. Instead of releasing 8.0, could they not enter the Android One program with it...especially since they were aiming for stock experience?
Maybe it's been asked before, but what are the implications of entering the AO program,because IIRC, I may have read some time ago something about a partition not existing on the device and ZTE not gambling with a large release, but I can't remember specifically?

The vendor partition stuff is something else entirely. Some people believed that ZTE would bring Treble support to the Axon while that made very little sense (Treble is a requirement for phones that SHIP with Oreo and above, but it's optional for Oreo, and its main advantage is it makes it easier for OEMs to update major Android versions). It was developed by djkuz and NFound eventually anyways, but only because of the generic ROM benefits
I don't think you can simply slap Android One certification on the middle of a product's life, but even if they could, it would make absolutely zero sense for them... Why be commited to security updates and newer Android versions on a phone that has surely stopped giving any revenue since long ago? Plus I'm not even sure if people prefer stock Android to stuff like One UI where you have a bunch of options
Do not expect to much from ZTE for the Axon 7. Until now they did not release a stable OS and it will not change for the next update.

Marshmallow and Nougat were perfectly stable, if not the chinese versions. i'd say that counts.
The important thing is them fixing Daydream because it doesn't only entail adding daydream back, to run it properly you need to have thermals and the kernel properly tuned. Daydream should put the phone at ~1.3 GHz but I believe they'll have to mess around to make it work as intended anyways
plus all this is useful for LOS
Marshmallow and Nougat had a very bad design and UI because of mifavor. Oreo is nice but extremly unstable.

What next update?
I thought this device was EOL as far as zte was concerned. There hasn't been an official update since august of last year and that had a security update of july '18. That's 6+ months ago. I think we're on our own now....

Not ignoring OP at all... Simply going by zte's past actions. I've seen these sort of promises with other devices (moto x pure comes to mind) in the past. I'll believe it when I see it.
Got a link to this update from 2 weeks ago? What was the actual update?

All I'm saying is, @GodOfPsychos contacted this ZTE guy, he said that an update was going to be released, and then XDA'S EDITOR IN CHIEF contacted that guy and got the same response (with which an article was made). They can bail at any time, but it's not like they are promising Pie anyways
I'm guessing you can't see the attached screenie in the OP? I can see it just fine from XDA Labs
We won't get official Android Pie for Axon 7.
The most I read into that is update to include cut out features like Daydream, probably a security update too. Just a finish of what Oreo 8.0 was supposed to be. I don't think we will even see official Oreo 8.1
If they had just kept with the whole "best sounding phone" idea I'd probably already have bought another ZTE. It was the thing that distinguished them in the crowded market of samey-same phones. At this point I'm clinging to my Axon 7 with my tight little hands, and any update to its stability will be appreciated. [Full disclosure, I'm running the GSI Liquid Remix unofficial build of Pie, but if they do update the official Oreo and get it rock solid, I could see downgrading just to be on an official ROM.]
