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.

Stock 7.1.1

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.

Hey guys, it's been a while and i was wondering if there was a nougat AOSP rom out there that would basically have a very similar experience to having a Pixel XL but just on the note 5 samsung hardware?

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 /

Seeing all the ROMs in development/original development, the Nexus 6 is far from being dead... :good:

Google Camera 4.3 and up is 64-bit only, so version 8.1 is a hard no. If running Android 11, you need to install Google Camera 3ish (search the LineageOS thread for the exact version) as version 4.2 doesn't communicate with the camera hardware.

Any hope for PIXEL ROM?

How much?
The phone is out now month but no custom rom or full working twrp (china twrp is the best working). I think whene you need custom rom go to Oneplus. Good dev support. Xiaomi have no dev support. There is also gsi rom but gsi is not good and i dont like this roms.

I used Oneplus 6T , but Oneplus 7 Pro is overpriced. I usually switch phones between 500~600$ every 6month. So I think Oneplus 7 Pro is a no go for me,
Apparently qualcomm only just released the source code for SD 855, on CAF. Without the source code, no real development, unless it's GSI or xiaomi firmware based.... If oneplus had released a phone months ago with the SD 855, it probably wouldn't have been much different, apart from oneplus stock firmware being much better to begin with
I still remember when I got my oneplus 6 it took a good while for the first aosp rom came out, before that modded oxygen OS only and mods etc, so I think we need to be patient, cheers

Oneplus 7 vanilla is cheaper but I doubt that will sell way less than mi9. Devs wont be making custom roms there. Whoever used 6T including me wont be getting op7 its the phone with bttr chip.

I HOPE SO. Really need Pixel ROM here. 855 will shine. MIUI is fast no doubt. But pixel rom or LineageOS will be a great ROM

+1 :good:
Give it time and you'll see custom roms. For now, you can use GSI or MIUI. GSI is pretty good with working Fingerprint even. Personally using AOSiP GSI and it's good for what I do.
Randomblame is working on something let's see and wait for it.
Yes just bought Mi9. Looking for pixel rom too
Sorry for stupid question, I'm just move from WindowsPhone, but can somebody explain why Pixel rom? In a few months will be here Android Q, so if I flash beta Q now, will be the differences between Pixel and Mi9 after final Q version?
Thanks

I'll try to make it simple.
Android system has many versions, these are incremental. From Android 1 to Android 9, and Android 10 in beta right now.
Each Android version has a name :
Android 6 = Android Marshmallow = Android M
Android 7 = Android Nougat = Android N
Android 8 = Android Oreo = Android O
Android 9 = Android Pie = Android P
Android 10 = Android Q???? = Android Q
These are the original systems made by Google.
It's like Windows 95, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10.
Now the beauty of Android is that anyone can customise the base/original system to whatever he wants. That is what big companies like Samsung is doing, or Xiaomi (MIUI) or OnePlus(OxygenOS) etc!
And there are smaller developer teams that build their own to the community, one of them is Pixel ROM.
Pixel ROM is available for Android O, Android P, etc depending on the phone model and what the team wants to build. Of course there are other custom ROM, many great and Pixel ROM is one of them.
Differences between Android Q and Android P? There will be, but Q is still in beta.
When Android Q will be out, I'm pretty sure there will be Pixel ROM Android Q. Right now it's Pixel ROM Android P.
However, Pixel ROM is not available for Mi 9 yet! That's why people ask for it. It's not easy though, you need developers, they need to own the phone, and Xiaomi needs to share the source !
Ok, thank you, it's clear now. My misunderstanding was that I thought, that Pixel is name of phone and not a name for custom ROM.

Actually you are not that wrong. The Google Pixel phones have a ROM called "Pixel ROM". And the goal of "custom Pixel ROM" is to be like "Google Pixel ROM" + bonus!
