Did you guys know Nexus 7 3G codename

Did you guys know that Nexus 7's codenames came from Fish types...
grouper, Tilapia
WTF google...
from sweet sweet things like eclair, gingerbread, Ice cream sandwich and jelly bean to a stinky FISHes...
just a little Did you know/

Yep. Galaxy nexus versions are toro and maguro and both are a type of tuna which is actually the board name for all galaxy nexus phones. Nexus 10 is manta.
There's something fishy about Google with ICS and JB.

Yes, we did know.

So we can just assume that their employees like fish.. Many people like fish.. Problem solved.. xD

Fixed it for you, and no the dessert naming is still there.
A little more did you know, android os releases were going to be after fictional robots but for licensing reasons they did not go that route

It did not go from desserts to fish. The device codenames are fish, the os revisions are codenamed desserts. Big difference.

I can almost guarantee this thread will be closed. Codenames and thier origins are common place in the android community.

Astro and bender were the first two and for obvious, possibly expensive reasons, they decided to use desserts instead.

Chrome OS and Google TV update. No moto x. Nexus 7 and 4.3 are debatable because it's kinda low key to the public

I think most of us would be expecting the new n7 and android 4.3..TBH i'm not so excited about 4.3, i think it would probably be just a maintenance update, which i think is a wrong move for google cause IOS 7 was just released a few weeks ago and in my opinion google should release something big like android 5.0 that will bring a whole new UI to actually compete with IOS 7..(although IOS 7 sucks lol)..just my opinion..

A lot of the new features in ios7 were taken from Android anyways. Apple is just playing catch up.

What if android 5.0 isn't done yet? Should they release it with bugs cause apple is catching up? They should finish it first and only than should they release it.

They can't just release something that's not done yet. Software doesn't just magically happen.

I say somewhere that they were inviting people "for breakfast"... Which hints at a food. When they do that it typically means they're referring to a new android release. We always assumed 5.0 would be Key lime pie. Perhaps its a breakfast item beginning with a K. Maybe Special K cereal or something lol.
The next Android release was never stated it would be 5.0. Perhaps the next "K" release is just 4.3, maybe 5.0.
I don't really care TBH. The next N7 will have some sort of update and should be good. I would expect that they would be focusing a lot on their Google Now design since lots of updated apps from I/O are now using it.
You'd think they'd update the major build to describe the year. This is the nexus' 5th year (Nexus 5) so should have 5.0 (KISS).
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I'm actually extremely excited for 4.3 and 5.0 because 4.3 delivers gpu optimization and new touchscreen drivers for my Nexus 4 and 5.0 delivers dalvik vm changes that will greatly increase android fluidity

ios7 is out of beta?.. Last I heard, the next iPhone has already been delayed.. Google doesn't have to worry about anything apple might bring.. They just have to worry about creating demand for their software and hardware.

Omnirom for Nexus 7 (2012)

yesterday I saw the news that a new rom called Omnirom from top devs on XDA is coming for Nexus devices. Is anybody excited for it? The most important feature in the rom in my opinion is that we can use Multi window in it!!
The code of rom is already up. Is anybody thinking to bless our nexus 7 with first omnirom for it? Cant wait to try

Factory images does not have it. But I think pretty much all of the roms that are based on AOSP have it. I have it for example with official Omni.

Will The Nexus 6 Get Android 'N'

Will the Motorola Nexus 6 get Android 'N'? If so will it be around October 2016 when the new Nexus 6 is released?

Google supports their Nexus phones for 3 years after release. So yes, it will be supported. It likely will be released over the summer if not sooner.

Sweet, I know the up coming nexus 6 will come stock Android 'N'. I'd like to have a sneak peek at the layout of N.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

According to Google's support policy, devices receive two years of support from their release date. The Nexus 6 won't hit two years until November 2016. So yes, the Nexus 6 should get Android 7.0. It should also receive Android 7.0 security updates for some time afterward.
Fortunately, these are Nexus devices. Custom ROM support should keep them going for much longer.
EDIT: @mikeprius beat me to it. LOL.

I made a mistake. It's 2 years for software updates, but 3 years for security updates.

My money's on yes

obvious answer is yes.. nexus 6 is still very capable.. probably until P..

The real question is will Nex6 get the android N dev preview?

@md1008 I'm pretty sure it will!

There's nothing to "rip", just download the preview and extract the radio image with your favorite archive utility like 7-Zip.
