Android n final code - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 !

Android N

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..!!

[Discussion] Android 7.0 Nougat released for Nexus devices!

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

Nexus 6 factory images

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:

No 8.1?
Yes, this release will not bring a 8.1 to our devices... It's very strange and disappointed, but we can't do anything with this.
i think i wait till LinageOS is more stable and flash this instead. OxygenOS has an end on our 3 Devices...
I'm looking to Nitrogen OS, but the "google multitouch lag" is very annoying, so I will wait for time when google fix it, and then switch to Nitrogen.
I think 1+ will not update 3/3t as previously and finally switch open beta program to 5/5t.
i think we only get a few security patches and "general bugfixes" in the future. the timeline for the OP3's is over. that's my opinion.
i switch to LinageOS or Paranoid Android (i hope we hear some more news about Oreo soon)
Please search before posting and do not duplicate threads in the forum. You may continue in this thread for OOS Beta builds:

Android 12 seems delayed for now

Just saw the October security update for A11. Saying it will be in a few weeks for A12 and some are thinking delayed until the P6 is for sale. So stop hitting that update button. lol
The did release it's for AOSP though.
Google releases Android 12 to AOSP, but no Pixel launch today
In a significant departure from previous years, Google today rolled out Android 12 to AOSP but did not launch on Pixel phones...
9to5google.com
maybe someone can build and aosp rom of final Android 12.it would be interested

Google has indeed released the driver binaries for the Pixel 5 hardware, so it's entirely possible.
The final release should be just around the corner, though. Beta 5 is typically the last beta release before final.
Here it is!
Yeah!
Now's the time to see how to deal with root...

For the previews and betas you needed to flash the OTA.zip, boot to fastboot, flash the vbmeta.img (wiping the first time you do it) with disabling verity and verification, then flash the patched boot.img to retain root with the Pixel 5
Took the Ota. Android 12 looks the same as the most recent beta.

The build numbers are almost identical, I don't think they changed much if anything - Beta 5 was 210812.002, current factory is 210812.015
I wish Google had a changelist for each build.
