android 5.1?? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When can we expect it and what can we expect from it? Thoughts?

You're asking us to guess or are you wanting facts?

Just curious when it will hit the nexus 6 and what it may fix or included in the update?

I understand that but I still don't know if you want guesses of facts. You'll not be getting facts because we're not Google. Guesses aren't useful

Aren't the android one devices in the Philippines shipped running 5.1? Or are all the articles and pictures wrong.. We should see it by the end of Q1 no?

Shipped with? Probably. Available to the public is another thing. It will push to AOSP first then updates to nexus devices will be next, but we have no time scales.

Yeah its a waiting game. From my experience, whenever we hear dates, they're almost always not met anyway. I never believe anything until I see tags updates on AOSP or someone actually receiving an OTA.

[Kernel Source]

So I guess Htc/VZ decided to release the source: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/incrediblec_cc1c2268.tar.bz2
good luck.

I think if we bug htc enough then they will release the source lets get started... http://www.htc.com/www/about_htc_bymail.aspx

We have been down this road before with several other devices...
HTC has ALWAYS released the source code....within a few months or so.
You can email all you want, but your going to get generic responses, and its going to be released anyways.
The phone is only available for pre-order and its not even the 29th yet...so give them sometime.
Cheers!
Will having the kernel source for the Incredible make rooting the device easier because of the potential for "work arounds".
From what Paul is saying over at Modaco, it seems HTC is going out of their way to make the Desire and Incredible "more secure"... which means locking down bootloader, kernel, etc. More of a pain for rooting... agh!

Glad to see you getting involved...
We blasted HTC before with thousands of emails, and even got News sources involved, but since all that they have always released the source codes within a few months or so.

Droid Eris was released on 11/6/09; kernel source code is still not released.

My my I think it worked. Congrats!!
Its a marketing strategy because they know people are going to mod it anyway, so this way if people mod it, they are more inclined to stay with the device and HTC.

i found a free site that sends you an update via email or text (iphone) when the status of the Nexus 4 changes. It also works for many other products.

You won't be getting any junk mail. :angel:
My signature would identify me as representing whohas.it, but I'll need 7 more posts before I can set that up.
Sign up information isn't shared, sold, etc. Yes, lots of sites/services say that, only some mean it. We're in the latter camp.
We haven't even sent out any housekeeping emails at this point, and likely won't until the Android mobile app is ready (soon hopefully).
And to other questions on the thread about whether whohas.it is monitoring the US play store only, the answer is yes. We have plans to add international versions of our service in the future, but we're not there yet. First quarter of 2013 is the current target, but that is by no means carved in stone.
I'm happy to answer any other questions if there are any.

question about vz and sprint 4.2.2

so since vz has the 4.2.2. and is cdma, would it be save to assume it would be a port to sprint or do we still have to wait until sprint releases?

So no disrespect but in all the HTC statements I've seen I have only read that they "hope" or "plan" to have it out before the end of September and one critical piece of info was never said.... September of what year...
Sorry but I am still hopeful that the Vzn release will give the devs what they need to at least move the Sprint device forward with updated roms just in case there are "delays"...

Yeah, since the VZW phone drops today, I'm wondering how long (rather, how quick) it will be before the devs get a hold of it and rip out the source! It's days like this that make me wish I had the time and knowledge for coding.

Here's how to set up a way to be reminded in case it gets updated.

*Design is a major focus for*Lollipop—the latest version of Android—which begins to roll out today.
As exciting as it is, I wanna see them post the source asap so our favorite devs can take a crack at this.
Yeah I know I'm wanting it and refreshing the dev page in case the source gets released.

The OTA is only for tablets!
Dev images should be posted today but nothing will roll out today for GSM/CDMA devices.
The OTA for the other nexus devices will come in the following weeks.

Next coming weeks could literally mean in the next 5 minutes to the next coming weeks. Plus Google doesn't give everyone the update at the same time. It takes weeks.

Oh the Nexus twitter account must be a spam account and that's why it had a huge verified check mark next to it.
Its been stated over and over by various sources including google that the OTA from today will only be for WiFi devices aka tablets.

It's cool either way, as long as it doesn't take 2 months or some'n than I can wait a couple of weeks. In such events like these, I'm glad that I chose to buy Nexus 5 instead of the usual Samsung/HTC as I did in the past.

Exactly.
Also androidcentral has the OTA which is a 800+MB update for the Nexus 9
And if anyone wants to research it or find that image feel free to use google.

Version for Marshmallow?

Which xposed should we use for Android Marshmallow on Nexus 6?
Thanks!

Use the version you develop. Clearly that doesn't exist yet
Same thing every android release. It'll be out after the official release, and source code drops. Don't know how long it will take, but it'll get there. We had a very long wait for 5.0 because of massive changes, not to mention that every time he got it working on one dev version, it was broken as heck on the next dev version, so we just have to wait and see. Hope that explains it well enough. Better than a "When it's ready", or "none" answer everyone always gives.
The Nexus images are now live so I would guess the source won't be far behind it. Can someone comment on the number of changes to ART compared to Lollipop. From the surface it seems that Marshmallow should be 5.2 and not 6.0 but maybe all the changes are under the hood.
It is coming:
rovo89:
"In framework version 74, I have fixed some more incompatibilities which could lead to bootloops or crashes. I assume that most of these crash logs contained the string "Incompatible set properties", which is actually a consequence of previous method verification errors. It's hard to say which ROMs and devices were affected - but flashing the new version shouldn't hurt even if everything looks fine with older versions. If you do notice any issues and are sure that it's not caused by yourself, you have higher chances of getting them fixed if you open a detailed GitHub issue (usually I will need at least a full logcat).
I won't be able to work on Xposed for the next 2-3 weeks - no time for development, support or questions at all. If the rumors I have read are right, I should be ready just in time to start porting Xposed to M."

Remember, the reason why it took so long for an official version for android 5.0 was because lollipop uses ART environment and xposed whas always made for dalvik originally.
So I think it will take less time now.

Really looking forward to having Xposed available on Marshmallow. Donated 5 euros to the cause. :good:
I hope he's serious about the shorter timeframe.... I'm not sure how art differs.... He claims it's simpler than dalvik so... Just keep us nexus owners updated please. If this thread is what to watch.... Great. Otherwise link please.

I haven't been able to find it, only snarky comments from users here about how its obviously not done. I have checked all the stickeys in this forum as well as the development one...
I doubt you will get much info on progress, as users tend to hold any claims against developers... But I would have though there would be something official saying "its in progress" to try and help stop the inquiries.
Oh well, will be a nice surprise when it drops.
