Hi Everyone
I use a Xiaomi phone, I just flashed beta version of their new UI rom (OEM build).
I noticed that " android security patch level " was dated as august 1st even when the beta rom was released in july 30th.
Is it normal to have a security patch level be dated later, than its actual release date in beta rom.
I believe google makes these patches and they hadn't released it on their nexus phones yet.
If something i said is wrong , pls correct me and pls direct me to a site/article that actually shows how security patch level updates really work.
P.S yes i asked in their forum and couldn't get a proper response
Hello and thank you for posting in the Q&A section,
it can't be. Google hasn't released the new security updated yet.
Check with Stagefright Detector, if your device is vulnerable.
Best regards

This article really cleared my doubts,
http://www.androidcentral.com/monthly-security-patches-are-most-important-updates-youll-never-get
from the article
Google's partners who make the phones we love get the changes a month in advance so they can also be ready to update as soon as they can. Some, like BlackBerry, are able to push these updates right away, with a short delay for carrier branded (remember this, it's important) models. Others take a little longer, and some phones will never, ever get any security patches.

The build is "BRB"... So maybe they're giving us a hint. "BRB we're still making Oreo, see you in a couple weeks!"

Samsung support is the slower one I ever seen. And you guys got branded phones Congratulations, you will the last to get oreo.

Seriously, who cares... Samsung branded phones are light years ahead of "stock Android" anyway. That's why stock Android has slowly been adding OG Samsung features into stock Android.

It's only for the 2017U for now though. Can this be used to benefit the 2017G?
Finally. Hopefully developers can actually fix the battery life problem by looking at the direct source code of the kernel. Unfortunately now that it is open source this means the Axon 7 is going to lose support very soon in the upcoming months
edit: i've uploaded the kernel source to github here: https://github.com/pimpinpsp/Axon7OreoKernel-A2017U

The Linux kernel source must be published, as far is open source, it doesn't mean that ZTE will stop develppment and support.

That's right, my mistake. But the device is at the end of its life and so it is good timing to publish it now
We won't see Pie for Axon 7, probably not even 8.1 officially. Maybe a security update or two if we're lucky.
Look forward to Oreo for G to be released and then sources so devs may make a bugless ROM that will get updates and maybe extend to Pie.
I am a bit puzzled by ZTE's choice to delay the G Oreo release. I wonder if they plan to do any additional modifications compared to the USA build.

I talked to the german Facebook group from zte last week thursday.
(Attached a screenshot)
Here is all the info in a nutshell (in order of the fb messages):
-Update will start to roll out this week via ota (meaning this very week that started yesterday)
-A little confused (since us version had to install via sdcard) i asked to make sure if its really being rolled out via ota.
Yes, it will be rolled out via ota. Of course not everyone will get the update at the same time. It could stretch out to 2 weeks until everyone gets it. The European version will will be different from the US version
And as for why its still not out for us yet, they said it takes longer because they gotta make sure all european languages are supported.
Last thing i asked about (since they said different version than the US one) was if we get stock+ ui as well or if its mifavor.
Their response: "current info: stock+ ui"
PS: sorry about the late post. I originally planned to post about this on the weekend but forgot about it.

What is now up-to-date with Oreo for the axon 7, (A2017G)?
Hi Christopher, we are dying with the update that will be started next week, to be played out ZTE via OTA. Love, your ZTE team
' about OTA? the U.S. has model Yes already oreo ^
get with the new floor + UL.
There, however, the user must install the update via sdcard.
will this then not the same at the A2017G
Text Box: LJ
case be?
No, the updates recovery air (OTA) on the phones are pushed in Europe. This happens in several waves, so not every user receives the update at the same time. It extends more than two weeks. Who when it is left to chance... The version in Europe will be an other than in the United States, where it has decided earlier to go to the user. We need to support more languages in Europe, can take ZTE Here are some more
' OK. One last question I would still. Is that ^ Europe version also the stock + UL l!get? Or we stay on MiFavor? ,
FRI, 08:21
ZTE Hello, current info: Stock + UI
SAT, 01:24
OK, thanks for the quick replies jP

Die Version in Europa wird auch eine andere sein, als in den USA, wo man sich entschieden hat, früher an die User zu gehen.

As far as I know, there is not. I keep looking at the major Android/Samsung sites and keep peaking at my Samsung Members every once in a while.
Nope, not yet - S9+ user here. I also following everywhere for news about the beta program, ofc I won't get it first but I want to be informed. I think it will start soon. Maybe even this month?
Verizon usually doesn't let people on their network sign up for the betas in my experience. I was going to sign up last year but it wasn't an option for my S9+ on VZW. You can load the beta builds with odin though if someone posts the firmware online. I will probably skip the first couple of builds and flash when they get most of the bugs squashed later in the beta cycle.

What a surprise ?
Beta is live! Can someone share the update.zip?
Just registered in Germany, waiting for the updated
Edit: just got the update with the November patch but no One UI 2 yet
Edit Edit: Just finished the update, even if it wasn't mentioned in the changelog I'm now on Android 10 and One UI 2.0
SafetyNet Test Error after update
I can use the German update.zip?
The bubble of Tap to Translate of Google Translate is always active even when I didn't copy any text, very annoying, I turned the feature off

Open Samsung Members, scroll a bit down and there should be a section named "News and Tips", click on the Image talking about Android 10, it will bring you to a page where you can enroll in the beta program. Wait a while and check for updates.
Ps: of course you need to be on a German operator to do that
Are there still any free slots for the German based users? I don't get to find the Android 10 News in the Members App.

I've registered few hours ago, so I think yes, also for me the news was not appearing yesterday. Try to force close and reopen Samsung Members (more than once maybe )

Thanks! Short question about that. Do you remember or even know if the post was either on the upper side (like a newer post) or on the lower side (older post)? Anyways, the actual name of the News would be nice. Maybe we can search for it.
are we expecting an update on the 4 of April?
updates are usually planned for the first Monday of the month right?
Right
I personally am not expecting this phone to get updated on the first Monday. And technically that would not even be a month from the last update anyway. For whatever reason Google really hasn't been able to keep this phone on the same schedule as the others. I could be due to the fact that it is the only one and Linux kernel version 5 all others are on version 4. Or maybe it's because they have too much other crap going on with dev previews. We had 12l dp which as really only a feature drop. Then we have 13 beta. And then they announced that the 12l program would be continues as a monthly platform for the next feature drop. So I personally think they took on too much. Then you add in the the p6 is a completely different phone than the previous generations of pixels. They still haven't figured out the modem yet.
So my answer is no I don't expect it the first Monday in April maybe the second Monday.... maybe
Yes l am expecting an update on Monday, Google need to start releasing timely updates for there latest phones.
Without any actual information on which to base my opinion, I'm guessing yes we'll see the update on the 4th. It's not a Feature drop month so the update will be simpler, and they really need to incorporate the dirty pipe patched kernel.
I'm not expecting anything. I'll wait until my Pixel 6 comes back from RMA (for the second time) and then I'll sell that POS.
Haptics!!!
The March update seemed to be on schedule for the older Pixel devices using older kernels. I believe that latest devices with the newer kernels were delayed because of the 0-day exploit that was discovered last-minute. They wanted to patch that in the March update.
So barring anything like that then I would expect Google to be on time with the April update. Or at least not as late as the March update was.
The only bad thing about updates is the unnecessary new threads from peeps not understanding what they are doing.
Also custom Roms create issues.
I guess flashing and modding for the hell of it with no idea why. Is like a drug to some peeps.

The fix is in kernel version 5.10.102 and above and the kernel version for the March update is 5.10.66. The CVE for this vulnerability is not listed in the March update either.
I don't believe they fixed this in March.

You are correct. They didn't fix the dirty pipe vulnerability with the March update and in fact Google confirmed that the delay in March was not due to this particular vulnerability.

I guess I should have looked that up.
But I'm really not bothered about when in the month the updates come as long as they come. Though I'm coming from an LG phone and updates weren't really a thing I expected from them.

I am not too worried about this vuln. It requires physical access to the phone.
Based on previous updates I won't be in a hurry to install the next one right away.

AS far as I know, the dirty pipe vulnerability can be included in a compromised app.
Fido hasn't listed anything yet.
The March update was released on 03/21, right? That will be two weeks tomorrow -- seems an awful short turnaround.
I'll be pretty surprised if the April update rolls out on the 4th.
It`s here.
Update 12.1.0 (SP2A.220405.004, Apr 2022) released 1PM EDT April 4th
Still Kernel 5.10.66.
where do we find a changelog?
