Folks - I heard Google released 7.1.1 images for all Nexus phones but I can't find the one for Nexus 6 on the forums here. Can someone help with a link?
Thx
Nope, because the Nexus 6 isn't getting 7.1.1 until January.

Hi,
Will Nexus 7 (2012) get Android updates in future ?
If yes then how long Google will keep on releasing updates for it ?
I am planning to buy one as its available at very low price.
Thanks.
Yes it already had kitkat

Still no OTA update yet though, so you'll have to flash it yourself

YES.
Yes, it is running on my N7 2012 now - KRT16O or KitKat 4.4 was manually flashed/updated & rooted again with TWRP. A series of Apps updated via Play Store. Downloaded a 1.4MB patch/update - which should update it KRT16S "This software update ... improves performance and stability and fixes bugs." - with the prompt to "Restart & Install"
Interesting, my Nexus 5's build number is KRT16M and showing no newer update when I checked it just now.
go, get it!

It will surely get updates. If not OTA from Google, there are great Devs for this device who will support for long.
Btw Flipkart slashed price to 8499Rs for the 16GB one. Go, get one!
When will pixel stock rom will be available for nexus 6
Pixel and Pixel XL are 64-bit phone. Nexus 6 is a 32-bit phone and Google already announced it won't update it anymore with major Android versions (only security updates).
If you want to try "Pixel's ROM", your best bet is Pure Nexus ROM which is available at Nexus 6 - Android Development.

Never. As Stated all code from here on out is built for 64 bit devices. Also the Pixel is not nearly as open as the nexus. They use a propritary closed sourced systemui among other things. If you want the latest stuff then build from AOSP. If you want what a pixel has then get a pixel.
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:

3 or 4 months ago I searched this forum to revive my friend's htc one. Tried 3 or 4 ROMs and ended up sticking with Lineage ROM.
I can't remember which one but in one of the threads someone shared a link of a custom ROM site. Where they listed some supported devices and ROMS they maintained officially. Not all of them on updated android iterations, but they were maintained like on Marshamallow or Nougat. I also saw that they maintained nexus 10.
Thought I'd try that ROM on both HTC one and Nexus 10 later but forgot to bookmark the site. Now I can't find it. Can someone please help me find that. The only clue I remember is that it had both HTC one and Nexus 10 as their supported devices (Nexus 10 ROM was on old android maybe nougat or marshmallow or lollipop). I know it's not much to go on. But I'm desperate.
I have a friend who wants to install an app that only works on android 5.0 (or lower) don't ask me why. So he bought 2 Fire 7 9th devices and asked me if I know how to downgrade to android 5.0 so he can be able to install his app. So, do you guys know a good tutorial teaching how to do it?

The stock rom is on 7.1.2 and you can't downgrade it to 5.0.0 and you may need to add the max API level to 25 which is nougat

Use a PC emulator instead.
