(Devices marked with an ‘*’ have an issue with FDE encryption which requires format before the OS can be upgraded. This essential means there would be data loss. If we are able to build a A15 build for these devices, the user will have to manual install it and that would require first taking a backup of all data.)
Check the section titled A16 Updates below
📖 What is OS OTA Upgrade?
Traditional Process:
Download correct OS build from supported device list
Download stock ROM from vendor site (for some devices)
Back up your data
Install stock ROM, then /e/OS ROM
Restore backups if needed
OTA Benefits:
Simplifies the entire process
Requires significant development and testing
A16 Updates
- We plan to update all devices currently on A12, A13, A14 and A15 to A16.
- In case any device is not capable of handling the A16 builds we will share that information.
- The team expects that A16 would not be buildable or installable on some of the older gen devices like the S7 or S8.
- For such devices we we will work on getting them to the highest OS version possible.
- As you may be aware A12 does not receive security patches anymore. This will next impact A13 and so on. This is a standard Google policy to end of life (EOL) older Android versions.
- All devices we sell in our shop, with official builds are priority candidates for OTA OS upgrades.
- Will share dates and ETA once I get them from the team.
