December Update: R.I.P Pie and Ten Plus Editon small talk
Security patch on, Pie to the grave you go and much more!
Our goodbye to Pie Standard Edition and Pie Plus Edition
It’s been more than a year since Android Pie came out, and it was a great version to work without any doubts. Though it was also probably during the work on Pie and Pie Plus the most disturbing moment of the project, it was also a great time to work and improve the ROM side and ourselves (maintainers and head team) too.
As per we announced in September, the Pie versions would be supported until this month, so with that we announce that the Android 9.0 Pie development from us is definitely ceased (Press F to pay respects).
“Where’s the Ten Plus Edition sir?”
We know that users are requesting us for the Ten Plus Edition (some users way more desperately than others), but yet we aren’t going to give any details regarding the release of it, neither about what’s going to come with it, only that it’s for sure planned, so hold your horses and go do something else of your life instead of pressing F5 on the download center page.
