Galaxy S6 Official Oreo Update

[AhmedKhan123]

In post #9 , a member/developer showed a screenshot of oreo. If anyone can provide the kernel of that rom, i shall be very thankful.
I actually made an oreo rom but it didn't booted because i didn't had proper kernel. If anyone could provide kernel i shall be thankful.

Kernel sources actually are available for everyone

Can you just stop posting like every S6 series variants... When developers will need testers they will ask for.

Why does it matter ?

Why does it matter ?

Because that's spam, nobody want to read a full page of models

It's spam? Compared to the hundred of posts that will be on this thread in a couple weeks or months a few posts including models will not spam this thread. You saying something about it and us going on about it is causing there to be spam. Get a different phone and use a different guide if you don't want to see it.

I mean it is spam. You guys ignored the A8 2016 getting oreo thread when it has same chipset. Then 1 guy posts an alpha screenshot and then spend a page saying "gimme gimme heres my model"

Also the fact you think its fine to do it because others may do it in the future.
The blaming him for his 1 reply to be spam versus the countless amounts in this thread and other threads.

We knew an a8 port was gonna come even if official oreo wasnt.
If the devs wanted testers they will ask in their respective threads even then spam isnt okay its just inflation dms exist for a reason.

How about you learn some patience and the keep quiet if you cant abide by simple courtesy then.

I am making this thread because i see that quite a bit of people are wondering if 3 year old flagship from Samsung is going to receive Oreo.
Yes it is. No release date yet. It was confirmed to me by Samsung here are some screenshots

Giving Oreo to the S6 after they ended monthly Update support for this device!!! hmm, that's interesting

 

[blondeeagle]

The S6 never get Oreo officially
In that way, the port of A8 2016 with Oreo is under development.

is it a new port bcs there are few that are kinda crap to be honest are you making to rom?

No, I do not work on Samsung's firmware, I'm more of AOSP, other people are very kindly on it, please be respectful, the devs do the work for free.

 

[Sameerahmed05]

yuuup!.. that's wat i was waiting for!.. a confirmation from SAMSUNG

There is a video on youtube of the a8 2016 oreo rom on a note 5 and will be released soon

 

[TeoShow]

Any news about this update?
There will be an official 8.0 for s6 or not?

Yes i 100% confirmed from Samsung UK support and they said we are working on the Oreo 8 update for S6 & S6 edge, but yet they did not confirmed the date just said you will get that via your device updates once its completed and tested by the Development team, So we must expect that in the next two months are so IMO. :good:

Serbia has something on it

After like half an hour or more finally managed to contact Samsung for some info on the update.

Me: I've heard that there's suppose to be a new Oreo update for the Galaxy S6, so i wanted to know if that's correct?

Samsung: Welcome to Live Chat Samsung support. How can i help you?

Samsung: For now we don't have any concrete information, but it's possible that it may show up.

Samsung: If the update becomes available, you will get a notification.

Me: So it's possible?

Samsung: (Again just copy-pasting) For now we don't have any concrete information. But it could be.

Me: Thanks a lot!

Samsung:Thanks for contacting Samsung!


I asked about it on the Serbian Samsung support page. Still possible i didn't get any NO's. Well let's for the best!

Samsung is very stupid. The S6 could even run Android 9 and they would even roll that update out if they wouldnt publish nearly 100 phones every year. I mean who needs all that **** C7, C7 pro, J7 nxt, Galaxy ON.. God Samsung make it like Apple. Focus on the S and Note Series. Maybe the A Series can also stay but you know what I want to say. Our Phones are capable of running new versions but our manufactor is too lazy to develop a new update because they are making new crap..
