I ordered the S2 expecting it would come with Android 8

Off the store racks only android 6.0 Marshmallow. Even S2 Pro, there is no confirmation that it will come with Oreo.

Umidigi OS ... are there meanwhile different launchers possible?
I have read, that Umidigi OS keeps setting the default launcher to stock launcher.
I was afraid, when i ordered my S2 to get Umidigi OS, because i love my Nova launcher... so every device of me looks the same.

So i was glad that my S2 arrived with stock A6.

Currently there is no option to use different launcher than original. Also there is no option to root device.

Try to load Launcherx after you can choose which one is the default. Any launcher can be used afterwards.

Why developers do not use the source code from Sony XA1
https://developer.sonymobile.com ... en-source-archives/
for example Open Source archive for 40.0.A.5.14 (Android 7)

Sony XA1 has a similar processor.
