The korean times apparently knows the update schedules for the LG V10 and the G4

An unnamed korean official has reortedly toled the korean times that the popular 2015 phones, the LG V10 and the G4 will receive their share of Nougat this year. The LG V10 will go first in the second quarter, so some time from march to may, while the G4 will get the update in the third quarter , so some when from june to august. Initially there were no plans for updates for those devices, since there were compability problems, but it seems they have been sorted out. I assume that korea might be the first market that will get the update , but we have no word on that. I for one will be looking forward for the Update for my own V10.

Owners of the OnePlus 3 and 3T listen up, there’s a new OS in town: the Nougat based HydrogenOS.

The Android 7.0 Nougat OS for the OnePlus 3 and 3T has been released, but it’s not OxygenOS , this time it’s called HydrogenOS 3.0 . It’s not an OTA installation, and you need to flash and override the existing OS. The new Nougat version comes without any kind of Google apps , so you need to get your hands on thos too and is only available in english and chinese. The OS has been grabbed from the chinese versions of the OnePlus 3 and 3T and therefore it will come with a bunch of chinese apps you should just delete.

Users who tried it report that it has a better battery life and that you now have an inbuilt call recorder. The ROM has about 1.3 GB and you can get it from XDA or OnePlus . Both Links include ways to get the PlayStore, and if you encounter any Problems, there are a bunch of threads at XDA already. If you have tried it, feel free to leave a comment and share that experience.

According to the german Facebook Page from HTC , the Update to the latest Android Software will start rolling out today for the HTC One M9.

All Users of the HTC One M9 , that use a non-branded Version, will start to receive the Update to Android 7 including Sense8 starting today. That is what HTC posted on their german facebook page. So if you own one just check it out. It comes as a suprise to me that HTC updates the M9 before the HTC 10, but i guess there is a strategy behind that we simply don’t understand. Well long story short: just go and get your Android 7 Update today.

After receiving dozens of Ideas, including Nutella, Google finally revealed the official Name for the New Android: Nougat.

So now it’s official that Android N will be named Nougat, but we don’t know yet if it will be 7.0 or 6.1 . What I, and most others, possibly have not expected is the fact that the big revelation happend on Snapchat. Earlier today Google shared a Video anouncing the Name. You can see the Video below. They mentioned that this Name was choosen from all the options that the community supplied sinc Google I/O 2016. Other Name suggestioins were Namey McNameface or Nutella. I personally wonder how moches votes those 2 got. The new Logo as seen above, is the little Droid standing on some Nougat bars, even though it would have also been looking good to make a little nougat Droid.
