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:

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.

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 !
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.
Do you think that One Plus updates OP 3 / 3T to Android 8.1 or will it leave it in stable 8.0?
I doubt it. They want us to buy newer models.
As told to consumers by the Staff, the 3/3T will not be getting 8.1 Oreo as it is beyond the update cycle of the phones.
8.0 will be the final update pushed out officially by OnePlus.
However, you do have the choice of using ROM's when the Developer Previews are done on the Google Nexus/Pixel devices.
Edit: As pointed out to me by @Samitha192, Adam Krisko at OnePlus confirmed that 8.1 will be coming to the 3/3T.
Let's get 8.0 rolled out beyond open beta before we start speculating the future.

It is under Oreo in AOSP, but it is a major OS revision. The Galaxy S7 did not get 7.1 , but it did get 7.0.
Don't keep hopes on OEM's releasing updates for phones that may be 2 years old when the 8.1 development has begun.

Samsung won't be updating their devices to 7.1 unless it's the device last update.
Any currently OS updated phone by Samsung will be done updated to Oreo.

whether it is now android 8.1 or 8.1.1 /8.1.2 (whatever) doesn't matter in my opinion

8.1 looks more incremental than the jump from 7.0 to 7.1 (new sdk and some drastic changes)
Hopefully we get 8.1 on our devices. If OP to stop supporting 3/3t I'm expecting them to release the camera blobs so we can get 100% out of the hardware moving forward. :good:
I think these two will get the official android 8.1 update as there is already an unofficial Nitrogen OS 8.1 ROM for OnePlus 3/3T based on android 8.1 oreo is availble.

They said somewhere that they will release a 8.1 update for our phone, but can't find the source at the moment.
I only found this article: OnePlus 3/3T and 5/5T will get Android 8.1 Oreo but no Project Treble

Tbh Nitrogen 8.1 is better than Oxygen. Battery life is about an hour better with stock kernel.

I can second this, really impressed with the 12/12 build of NitrogenOS Oreo 8.1 ROM. Only thing I miss is SELinux enforced, but this will probably be changed when everything is working in enforced mode.

Yeah only reason its permissive is because this is a user-debug build. If I were to build a user build, it would be enforced and all.

8.1 will be released when it's ready.
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...

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.
