Hello Gents,
Does Google normally release new beta versions of "preview" firmwares? Currently there is shamu-MPZ44Q-preview-c1d6506a.tgz
There will be two more preview releases before the official release. Next preview is expected within the next couple weeks.

Google has said they plan to do a monthly-ish, update of the preview up until it's official release. That should put the update (preview 2) ready for release any day now. MPZ44Q is the only build of M currently available.
cupfulloflol ---> Thanks m8. You answered my questions
Seeing as there is no thread for the OP3 discussing Nougat as it pertains to this device, I though I would start a discussion thread.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-finally-released-get-it-now/
Android 7.0 was released August 22nd 2016 for the Nexus 5X, Pixel C, and Nexus 9 tablet. The factory images are available for download. Interestingly, Google also announced that the LG V20 will be the first device to launch with 7.0, meaning the Marlin and Sailfish nexuses are a bit farther away.
Hopefully OnePlus releases 7.0 for the OP3 sooner rather than later...
Edit: Nexus 6 and 6P have yet to receive OTA, but are expected to receive it soon
Hope they release the source soon so that the custom roms start popping up
What's the typical time frame from update to aosp I thought they were at the same time in the past

curious as to whether OOS or CM will get a full Android N ROM together first.

Since the OP3 devs are awesome, i'd guess there will be unofficial builds of CM before OnePlus releases the official OOS Nougat build. Although obviously early CM Nougat builds may not be 100% stable, but will obviously improve over time.
Now to wait for the AOSP drop and for someone talented to put together a ROM
Of course a custom ROM will come first, OOS takes far too long for what little changes it has.
I hope @Grarak will do his magic when the sources are available!
CM14 will take a long time (don't quote me on this but I guess it will be somewhere around December)
Jesus I cannot wait to try Nougat
Is it just me waiting for the OOS version of Nougat?
If you go by Android 6 releases, it took Oneplus ~9 months to release it after official release, so I expect the OnePlus 3 to receive Android 7 in May 2017.
AOSP sources have been updated soo. If someone wants to cook something up the resources are there.

You're not the only one. The only thing better than stock Android is OOS.
they were collecting 50 OP3 beta testers on theyr forum few weaks ago so i think that was android N beta testing phase.

Sounds great. Would be great to see nougat soon.
Android N does not look to be a giant leap from M so I don't think it will take OnePlus that long to get a beta or full release out

yeah, just multiwindow and vr support and little little design changes + some changes to doze. testing the final release on my 5x.
Moreover OP have to adjust the drivers for nougat...
The OP3 ist my daily driver, so i want a stable build.
I dont think oneplus will take longer time to update to android n. They may have learnt their mistakes they did in oneplus 2 and might not repeat this time. This is just my opinion.
If OP releases a stable Nougat build before the end of the year I would consider that a success. More importantly, I'd like them to release their camera source code so that it can be used in Aosp or CM based ROMs
Why is 7.0 based on M Preview 2 from last July? This doesn't make sense. Android police The first official build of Nougat is NRD90M and tagged v7.0.0_r1. Unfortunately, this one is based on M Preview 2. Yes, you read that right... The final build of Nougat is based on the second developer preview of Marshmallow. That means development on many of the new features of 7.0 had to have started sometime around July of last year.

That's a question for Google.
When we look at the results of G-software policy we can see:
1. Bad ui for amoled displays (too white; battery drain).
2. Monthly update only for recent devices.
3. No valid arguments for monthly updates.
4. Many requests for dark ui - ignored.
5. RRO layers available; but root acces needed.
6. Updates of G-apps without need.
7. Making root acces more difficult.
8. Pesky G-search bar not removable.
9. More bloatware.
We could have too high expectations !
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:

I recommend not updating to the March patch
since the vinary changes to 4
and in February it is still in binary 3
This will make it possible to return to android 12 and 11.
from 5.1 no longer open more system updates.
Hello colleagues
A new patch with binary 5 was released in April.
making it impossible to return through odin to android 12 and (11) (arabia, taiwan, etc)
It could be something not so relevant for some, but for others yes, who want to stay in android 12.
Android 13 with UI 5.1 was released in February and one more patch in March.
no longer open android 14 UI 6.0 updates
in my case it doesn't matter to go to binary 5.
