Android P coming to 5/5T "later this year"

[djsubterrain]

For anyone who didn't see it on the OnePlus forums, If you watched the Google IO18 keynote, you would have seen the Android P beta being available for a few non Google devices...including OnePlus.

The device will, of course, be the OnePlus 6 as it will most likely be the first, and only, OnePlus device to have Treble support.

Apparently, though, that doesn't mean we won't have Android P on the 5/5T...

Friends,

Did you get a chance to catch the Google I/O livestream yet? We're excited to announce we've been working closely with Google to give OnePlus 6 users early access to Android P Beta, shortly after launch. OnePlus devices are some of the most developer-friendly phones on the market. We look forward to seeing how app developers and other early adopters in our community will take advantage of this beta to create even better software experiences.

Since day one, we've been committed to working with our community to build the best software possible. We've come a long way thanks to the passion and dedication of the whole OnePlus community. Your feedback has helped our team push out some of the industry's fastest software updates. OxygenOS continues to evolve at an incredible pace, thanks to you.

Over 135,000 of our users signed up to review the OnePlus 6 early via The Lab. With the OnePlus 6 device in their hands, they'll be among the first in our community to be able to download the Android P Build. (OnePlus 5/5T friends, we'll have something nice lined up for you later this year.) In the meantime, if you'd like to read more about the latest Android release, feel free to visit https://www.oneplus.com/developer-preview. We'll continue to work closely with Google in the coming days, so stay tuned!

Never Settle.

Something nice like disgusting and ugly oxygen os ui and the broken updates as well as useless camera update which make things work..

Your experiences and feelings about what OnePlus has done with the OP5 is far from the much more favorable experience I've had. I recently laughed at a large number of my relatives who all bought a Samsung 8 or 8+. They were just getting Oreo 8.0 while I was already on 8.1.1 with April's security patches. Sorry but your comments on ugly interfaces do not ring true when compared to that sad Samsung TouchWiz experience or the inferior Bixby personal assistant.
Unless Android P allows for theming support (e.g. Substratum), I'm not all that interested in it any way.

That's about treble support i believe, cuz mokee dev spoke with one from OP developers, not exactly new android ver.

- updates aren't be-all-end-all. i remember samsung introduced split screen in their touchwiz way back in jelly bean. stock android got it in nougat.

- liking a certain ui is subjective. i have been using stock android since my nexus 5. and after a while stock android gets boring.

- Bixby is inferior. yes. no one is stopping you from using google assistance.

- yes, camera is bad. or rather the software is pretty bad and the difference between images captured with OnePlus camera and pixel camera proves it.

When you say "that's about treble support", you mean OnePlus will add treble support to the 5/5T but not P? Why would they do that? It would be pointless. Or do you mean they're adding Treble + P?

When i say ''that's about treble support'', i mean that by that their phrase line they prioritize treble under android P, which means that we will get treble first, then android P.

I doubt that to be honest, OnePlus has already stated that none of the currently released products will be getting Treble support

If they do release Android P for our phones it will likely not use Treble but just be built as previous roms have been.

They also stated that OP5 will never get face unlock future, but... you see what happened.

Currently only available for specific countries. I'm curious what they'll say for USA.

"Something nice" does not have to mean we'll get Android P. I'll wait and see - but in the mean time, I'm happy with 8.1.1.

Well what else would it be? A box of chocolates? They're discussing Android P and specifically mention the 5/5T getting "something nice", it will be Android P without Treble.

I have no problem in waiting just give us a near stock android p OOS build....it doesn't have to be like OOS OREO again.....?

Did Google ever mention a non-Treble version of AOSP 9.0?

 

[khaos227]

Android P would be nice, but I'd like to see a near stock Android P, not oreo which looks like nougat

Yup! That's how it works, you simply can't sell it for a full or simmilar price, but 205£ is way too little

 

[huluhola]

Project treble is unofficially supported by op5 ?

You mean: there is a unused partition? I've read about it, but isn't that just over-provisioning for the flash storage?

 

[khaos227]

What was that partition supposed to be for? Why is it there?
