I noticed many people and custom roms are already on 5.0.2 yet the only stock rom released so far for 5.0.2 is Nexus 7. My question is can you flash Nexus 7 OTA to your Nexus 6?

lol, no, you cant flash the n7 ota onto the n6. but you can build your own rom from aosp, which is on android 5.0.2. or you can flash any of the aosp roms that are on xda for the n6

no idea at the moment. when you pick which android version, just google gapps android 5.x, and google will find them for you.
Ok thanks for the help

Hey guys! So I was googling around trying to find out if cyanogenmod has a public list that shows the priority of their phones. Like, if they follow a pattern. Can someone direct me where to find that if it exists somewhere? I see they're rolling out cm 13 and I'm anxious to know when it will reach my shamu!

I'm also assuming you clean flashed/wiped/formatted and used the correct M GAPPs?

Yes, I got the rom from there and used opengapps. I installed it with multirom however, that may be my issue, but it didn't flash correctly, it fails.

It flashes just fine in Multirom. You are not using the 'fixed' Multirom. See it's thread.

It should flash with trwp.
I usually don't jump in until at least a few weeks of nighties since this is my main phone, but I will keep an eye out on this one for sure.

Having a nexus 6 and now getting the OTA update as soon as release as previously expected.
we will see it in a couple of weeks.
Who needs the stock images when there are already custom roms on the market.
Much better flashable zip. No encryption and custom kernel

As long as Bootloader and Radio dont change from DP5 to Release. Custom roms are the best route. :laugh:
I am even on preview 1 bootloader and no problem at all. Runs super smooth and root is working. All my apps are fine. So take your time Google

Out of curiosity I see you list velocity nougat for nexus 6. I searched on XDA but couldn't find anything except for an HTC device. Mind if I ask where you got that rom? I'd like to scope it out, thank you in advance
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Velocity is from the psx def. He is not on xda. Just building for himself and I am a tester since day one 4 years ago. It's only available on a German forum. N is not official, so I can't. But if you Google my name with velocity you will find.

Not really a wise option. The roms right now are hacked together with bits and parts from other stuff and without an updated kernel many things are causing issues and you dont get all the new under the hood improvments.

We have kernel source for DP5. And as of right now the AOSP r1 source hasn't changed much from DP5 to r1. Or thats what the elite guys have mentioned.

Yeah I have the source and alot is still missing compared to the DP5. I have spoken with most teams and they are all of the same mind. Until it is fixed they wont build for the n6. Some are even gonna wait until late September or October before even attempting to build it. We are all over Google groups complaining about it. Most think it has to do with Qualcom and the new Vulcan stuff that qualcomm is refusing to support on some chips.
We can only wait and see. I personally am not touching a single rom that is built at the moment. Not a fan of hack together roms.

Not with a device I rely on. My device is a tool not a toy lol.
Plus I make my own roms and only use roms made by a very few others. To be honest only 2 teams do I trust their roms to flash to my device. I know all too well the risks involved in flashing roms.
Nexus 5x is live Come On GOOGLE!!!
Velocity was a ROM by Trident in the LG Ally days, woah they bring me back. Back to Android 2.2.2!
Hey guys,
I've been looking around for the Nexus 6 7.1 preview image but can't find it on the developer preview website. It just shows the 6P, 5X, and Pixel C.
I know I can flash a stock image and then take the developer preview OTA but I'd rather just fastboot flash it. Am I just looking in the wrong places?
Thanks for the help!
It doesn't exist yet. We will probably get something in November/December. 7.1.1 preview?

So the only way currently is via the Dev Preview OTA?

You don't have to root it. Wugs will update it to the most current (or any) stock image
Why are you not wanting to update to Nougat? Just curious. The only reason not to update to 7.1.1 is the problem with speakerphone calls.
I've understood for years that it's not a good idea to upgrade major versions, and but since the Google OTA jumped seamlessly from 6 to 7 the risk of problems is no doubt minimal (unless a technical member knows better...?)

Everyone here is going to suggest different roms. The best is if you test them all and find the one you feel is best for your need. Your best rom might not be the best for someone else and vice versa.

Does it matter what features, or is it only about quantity?
I'll throw out my suggestions just so you get a solid opinion. Key word opinion. I really like cyanide rom but it's not updated as much. If you want a rom with a crap load of mods and features, resurrection remix!
