And more: The update will do a better job of managing fonts, reproducing colors, and handling audio.
And Oreo will support Wi-Fi Aware, also called Neighborhood Awareness Networking, which lets Android phones within range of each other receive notifications of applications or services in the area. Finally, Oreo will let users add shortcuts and widgets to perform actions and tasks. And wait. So far, handset makers and carriers have successfully resisted Google's push to get them to release major Android updates more quickly. OEM overlays and apps: It's great for the Android handset makers and carriers that Google lets them add their own custom interfaces and apps because it lets them differentiate their devices.
For the handset owners, however, it's not so great. Users have to navigate through multiple cameras, calendars, clocks, messaging apps, and security tools -- often using identical names and similar icons -- to find the apps they want to use.
For a pure Android experience, get a Nexus or Pixel. With Oreo, Google keeps to its annual Android update. While Oreo may lack some of the flash of earlier versions, it works to make using Android a smoother experience and is another welcome update to the mobile OS.

Most Popular. Go to whatdevice. If WhatDevice isn't displaying the information you need some browsers hide the required data , an app called 'Device Info HW' will do the job. Once it's done downloading, open it to install the APK file.
After Device Info HW is done installing, open it. Regardless of which method you used, you should now have two pieces of information: your Android version, and your CPU architecture. Now we can get on with actually installing the Play Store.
The first three apps handle basic account services and APIs, while the last app is the store itself. If you're not already reading this on your Android device, open the web browser and type andp. The first step is to get Google Account Manager. If you have Android 7. If you have something older than Android 7. For example, if you have Android 6. After the APK file is done downloading, do not open it — we'll do that later.
Next is the Google Services Framework. This is mostly the same process as with the first app, just go to this page and select the version that most closely matches your Android OS version. For example, if you have Android 8. Now it's time to download Google Play Services , which provides most of the behind-the-scenes functionality for the Play Store.
This is where things get a little tricky, as there are different versions depending on both the Android OS version and your hardware architecture. While the APKs for the last two applications usually only have one variant for each version, there are specific variants of Google Play Services for every imaginable hardware configuration. Here you have to find the combination that matches both your Android OS version and your hardware architecture — the pieces of information you found earlier.
Once you find the variant for your device, select it and download the APK. Again, don't open it after you're done downloading, because we'll do that later. The last app you need to download is the Google Play Store itself. Thankfully, Google distributes the Play Store as a single variant that works on all architectures and Android versions, so just go to this page and download the latest version that isn't marked as "beta.
Now comes the final step: installing the Play Store. Open the apps in the below order , and when the installation is complete, press 'Done' and not 'Open.
Also, if you have an SD card, make sure to take it out during these installations. Once you have installed all four apps, reboot your device. If one of the applications didn't install, it means you probably downloaded the wrong APK variant — go back and make sure you properly matched the CPU architecture and Android version. If your device has the armv8 architecture, try downloading the variant for armv7a. Some low-end devices like Amazon Fire tablets have arm64 processors, but run Android in bit armv7 mode.
If you can open the Play Store and sign in, pat yourself on the back, you did it! Now you can download all the apps and games you could ever want.
If the Google Play Store isn't working, or you get alerts about Play Services crashing, it probably means it isn't possible to get the Play Store functioning on your device without more complicated steps like rooting or installing a custom ROM. If you can't get it working, go to the 'All applications' section of your Settings app and uninstall all four APKs, to prevent further popups about crashing and potential battery drain issues from Play Services constantly restarting.
