Hi,
Will Nexus 7 (2012) get Android updates in future ?
If yes then how long Google will keep on releasing updates for it ?
I am planning to buy one as its available at very low price.
Thanks.
Yes it already had kitkat

Still no OTA update yet though, so you'll have to flash it yourself
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
YES.
Yes, it is running on my N7 2012 now - KRT16O or KitKat 4.4 was manually flashed/updated & rooted again with TWRP. A series of Apps updated via Play Store. Downloaded a 1.4MB patch/update - which should update it KRT16S "This software update ... improves performance and stability and fixes bugs." - with the prompt to "Restart & Install"
Interesting, my Nexus 5's build number is KRT16M and showing no newer update when I checked it just now.
go, get it!

It will surely get updates. If not OTA from Google, there are great Devs for this device who will support for long.
Btw Flipkart slashed price to 8499Rs for the 16GB one. Go, get one!
Is android N update available for sprout4 devices.....?
waiting for the updates....
sprout devices might get it If the N stable ota rolls out before oct 2016. Between could anyone pull the boot image & boot animation of N from the developer preview and fabricate it for sprout devices
Android N Will Relese in August-September 2016.
So Just Wait And You Will Surely Get Test Of Android N. However it Would Be Last But Not Least
Yeah I think we will get it (fingercrossed) but for now it's just the previews.
Preview 1 (initial release, alpha) - March
Preview 2 (incremental update, beta) - April
Preview 3 (incremental update, beta) - May
Preview 4 (final APIs and official SDK, Play publishing) - June
Preview 5 (near-final system images for final testing) - July
Final release to AOSP and ecosystem - August
So the nexus line will be the first among androids to get ota's in month of august. We can expect ota after 1 or 2 months after nexus devices ie in sept or Oct.
But last time android marshmallow came first to android one devices and then to nexus
No the nexus devices got them first. We got the update very soon after that.
Nexus devices are already running Android N, though it's preview. And since preview is for Nexus line so they will be fixing bugs for Nexus line. So there's more possibility of releasing it to Nexus line. Android One will receive updates later from my point of view. Cheers..!!
Folks - I heard Google released 7.1.1 images for all Nexus phones but I can't find the one for Nexus 6 on the forums here. Can someone help with a link?
Thx
Nope, because the Nexus 6 isn't getting 7.1.1 until January.
When will pixel stock rom will be available for nexus 6
Pixel and Pixel XL are 64-bit phone. Nexus 6 is a 32-bit phone and Google already announced it won't update it anymore with major Android versions (only security updates).
If you want to try "Pixel's ROM", your best bet is Pure Nexus ROM which is available at Nexus 6 - Android Development.

Never. As Stated all code from here on out is built for 64 bit devices. Also the Pixel is not nearly as open as the nexus. They use a propritary closed sourced systemui among other things. If you want the latest stuff then build from AOSP. If you want what a pixel has then get a pixel.
I was looking at the Nexus 6 factory images. It looks like it jumps from 6.0 to 7.1.1, then back to 6.0, then 7.1.1......is this an error or were the 7.1.1 beta builds ?
Also is Google still making factory images for the Nexus 6 ? I thought that development was over for it, but I am pleased to see not so.
Take a look at the "shamu" section: https://developers.google.com/android/images
It's all there.
EDIT: I think you are affirming that =P Yes, we're going to receive security updates from now on. 7.1.1 is the final Android version.
Google is releasing three builds per month. One build for android 6.0, one for android 7.0 and one for android 7.1.1
Development was over at android 7.1.1 And all build has security patches only.
Correct, I was just confirming that the security updates were being rolled out. Then after Nov that's it huh ? Only custom development ? This is my first Nexus where development will stop /

Well, every Nexus get software updates from Google during 2 years.
Seeing all the ROMs in development/original development, the Nexus 6 is far from being dead... :good:
