Download links for the ASUS ROG Phone II’s Android 10 beta are now online

-

ASUS is one of the smartphone brands that has improved the most during 2019. The launch of the ZenFone 6 was certainly one that caught us off guard: it provided flagship performance on a budget, and what’s better, they got rid of all of ZenUI’s bloat, with the newer version of ZenUI being very, very close to stock Android. It went on to become one of ASUS’s biggest smartphone hits – at least among smartphone enthusiasts – in a while. Then we saw them release the ASUS ROG Phone II, which is a total powerhouse of a device, powered by a Snapdragon 855+, up to 12GB of RAM, and a 120Hz display. It also brought the same software that made the ZenFone 6 so great. Now, after pushing the Android 10 update for the ZenFone 6 and 5Z, ASUS is gearing up to roll out the update for the ROG Phone II. Before that happens, the device is first receiving a beta update to Android 10.

ASUS ROG Phone II XDA Forum

The Android 10 update for the ASUS ROG Phone II comes with all the software features that you should expect from the latest Android release. It also comes with the December 2019 security patches and no UI changes – it is still based on ZenUI 6. Of course, being in a beta state, there are a few bugs that you should be aware of, including the inability to answer calls properly while on game mode as well as the inability to open the icon manager without crashing SystemUI. These are risks that you should acknowledge before trying to flash it to your device.

If you’re not comfortable with beta software, then you may very well wait for a stable update to roll out which, given how we already have a beta, shouldn’t be much longer. If, however, you’re dying to try Android 10 on your device, then you should hop ahead and download it to your device now. After downloading the below file, rename it to UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-16.0631.1912.22-1.1.227-user.zip and then put on the root of the internal storage and then restart. If you have a rooted phone, check out this thread in our forums for methods to keep root access.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-
Image
Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
