We will have it for sure. But official is kind of unknown atm because only preview images for the nexus 5 and nexus 7 (I guess the 2013 model)will be avalible tomorrow. I guess wait and see what the devs can do overall we are still rocking a nexus device. Right?

I think 4.4.4 is latest officialy update but not last one, we have xda.

I should have been more clear. I would not assume, nor do I think we will get it officially. BUT....I am not even sure if we will have it unofficially as the ROM has to function with Tegra 3 APIs due to the new graphics abilities. yes/no?

who knows.
the code has not been released yet, so nobody can tell at the moment.

Good point. Just thought is would be fun to theorize about the possibility. It would really "renew" the 2012 models viability.

you can say it for let's say 70% that it will come UNOFFICIAL because most custom roms have a backward compatible framework. So that e.g. drivers that are not supported by a newer android version can still be used in that version or a CPU feature is missing e.g. neon in the 2X. Google stopped the support for non neon devices I think in android 4.2.2 and guess what, the 2X is rocking Android 4.4.4

Think that Nexus 7 (2012) not have ART compilation and Android L is only ART. Not official Android L for N7.
But... the community will bring us Android L

I trust on xda for android L in my nexus :highfive:

Android L developer preview image officially live for "flo" (Nexus 7 2013) here: https://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html#top
Shall the port begins now?

I think we'll have it, the dev on Google IO session talking about Material Design said they "tested the 60fps performance on the original Nexus 7"
This at least proved they have a L build for us, the matter is will they release it to us.

If not official I hope devs can come through. I remember honeycomb was being ported to phones so yeah devs here on theses forums are amazing

Don't worry, we'll get it. I asked the Android team during the Android Fireside Chat how L will run on low end devices and they said they began testing and development on the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 7 (2012). So L was actually designed for our tablet and will obviously have an official build! :highfive:

Great info!

I don't know...the nexus 4 is not even receiving any love and its really a smaller N7 2013.

I agree that L will make it to our 2012 tablets. We are not dead yet and I'm not upgrading until the new nexus 8 is out myself. Good times! ?

That's not good news I have an old app that I use every day that hasn't been updated in 3 years and doesn't worth with ART

It has been proven by several custom ROMs that ART runs on the 2012 Nexus 7. So it's just a matter of Google officially enable ART on the 2012 Nexus 7.
But I actually don't think that we'll get the official L Update. Google wants us to upgrade to the newer N7 or even the rumored Nexus 8.

This doesn't really mean anything. Google may work with older devices during development to ensure performance and quality of Material on older hardware, but doesn't necessarily mean they will create an official build for consumers.

About Android 6.0 Previews

Our devices will not get Android M. Everyone's saying it.
So what is this? Why google worked on these devices for Android 6.0?

On October 15, 2014, Google officially announced that Android L would be known as Android 5.0 "Lollipop". The company also unveiled launch devices for Android 5.0—​including Motorola's Nexus 6 and HTC's Nexus 9—​for release on November 3, 2014. Google stated that Nexus (including the Nexus 4, 5, 7, and 10) and Google Play edition devices would receive updates to Lollipop "in the coming weeks"; one more developer preview build for Nexus devices and the new SDK revision for application developers would be released on October 17, 2014. Update schedules for third-party Android devices may vary by manufacturer.

Probably to give the dev's something to work with rather than officially supporting it, someone will get it booting and that's probably what they're hoping for.

I never thought about this... If this is true, it will probably go down as one of the greatest strokes of genius to happen at Google in regards to the Nexus program. Capitalizing on the unlocked bootloader, and throwing devs a bone without taking the time and resources to support them officially. Those who really want it get Marshmallow, and everybody's happy.

Great....now I don't need to upgrade to Pixel C.

Happy with OPO afterall

Before I've got my OPO I have owned nexus 1, 2, to nexus 5, so basically I've kinda used to fast update, unbloated OS and speed that nexus gave.
OPO on the other hand is kinda like nexus. It has cm based, good battery, screen, and speed. that's why I get this.
But when marsmallow comes out, I really felt left out, like I really regret by getting OPO on the first place, because I think It will not come to OPO.
And now, thank to awesome dev for bacon, we have masrmallow homemade, omni, cm13.. next will be slim and teameos, and possibilty of oxygen 2.1 or 3 hopefully..
It's like by having OPO I can choose for aosp based, or cm based, or oxygen based. you can choose kitkat, lolypop or marsmallow.
Now we got Op2, opx, nexus 5x, nexus 6p.. even though they all have better hardware, do you guys think it will be lots of rom choices like OPO has? please give your feed back
and to sum up.. I am happy with my OPO afterall

you shoudlnt feel left out of latest for this device atlst... it has got dev support as good as a nexus might get... marshmellow has already strted to become more bug free n daily driver.
We can just hope this continues after official support cycle ends next year

Even though I "want" Nexus 6P, there is not really some advantage for me to change my OPO. I really like it.

Android 7.0 aka Nougat!

Google unveiled the Android 7 aka Nougat. So what is your thought? Any features will be? Memory leak? Battery Life? Dark Mode? Will be OnePlus One will get the update?

No.if they update , then one plus will not earn money..

V might get cm14 ... at least unofficially

I think we could all agree on the point that the OnePlus One will get the official CM nightlies. If Cyanogen Inc. is going to update the OPO depends on the user base. (Source: COS 13 thread OP Forums..) Steve Kondik said, with a reason, that they totally rebased the OnePlus One with the COS 13 update, a part of the reason why they did that is that it would make faster OS updates in the future possible.

I believe in the CyanogenMod guys, I think that officially we'll never see Android 7 on the phone, but unofficially I'm pretty confident.

It is evident that Cyanogen Inc is pushing Microsoft mods pretty dramatically to OPO with at least the latest COS 13.1 update.
They will definitely use this phone for the large user base to check for the usage pattern, and other statistics for creating a better baseline and user experience for MOD going forward. And obviously, Microsoft also has an interest in having more people use their "integrated" apps and OPO is very good device for that.
So my opinion is a STRONG YES, Cyanogen Inc WILL update to Android N, but again, 3 months after the first release.

The latest Cyanogen OS updates contain Cortana, Skype integration, Bing search engine defaults etc. It's all optional/uninstallable, but it's there.

Since the dev scene for OPO is still pretty active ( one example: 3.10 kernel) i'm pretty sure we'll get android 7.0 via unofficial cm14

Why do you think they're going to stop with the official CM Nightlies?

He's just guessing but I personally expect this phone to get 7.0 and 8.0 official CM Nightlies. I think COS will end for OPO with Android N but I could be wrong

Usually cyanogen stops support after 2 years, just like Google does. OPO could be an exception, both because the snapdragon 801 is still a pretty popular processor and because the phone itself is still rocking. but nothing is sure on this side.

If we're taking a look at the contract for the updates, then the official support ended at the end of May. But as Steve Kondik said, they'll be updating the OPO to Android N if the userbase is large enough (COS). And the official CM Nightlies will continue even a few years after the official support ends. So one way or another, we'll be seeing Android N on the OPO.

It's not really true that Google stops supporting their phones after 2 years actually. Google keeps updating the device if the hardware is still good enough for it. That's one of the reasons the Nexus 5 still receives security patches, just like the Nexus 7 (2013).

I'm preaty sure we will get the Official update from Cyanogen Inc!
If you look at Cyanogen Inc official page, our phone IS THE ONLY PHONE currently running their latest OS (COS13.1).
The Oneplus One was the first well known Cyanogen Phone, and they wont abandon it's first child.
I think we will be updated until google stops supporting its Nexus 6 (SD 805), because it was the last nexus with a 32 bit CPU and Android will soon abandon the 32 bit architecture complitly (my opinion).
Untill then we are safe.

I expect to see Nougat custom ROMs very quickly, eventually, CM14 nightlies, but I expect that there will never be an official Nougat update for the OnePlus One.

Does this apply to other phones having the SD 801 too? I'm planning to buy the Zuk Z1 which has a SD 801. If the OPO receives CM14, is there a possibility of the Zuk Z1 receiving CM14 too?

Even if OPO doesn't get official update, the fan base of this phone and the impact it did to both 1+ and Cyanogen, I think we will still find a way to get nice and crisp Nougat experience. But who knows. Time will tell

You sir are a visionary (about the oreo name ;p)

Canadian Telecom provider Telus leaked that Nougat is going to be released this monday 22 August.
They were spot on last year with the Marshmallow release.
Excited!! :fingers-crossed:

Android O released - Developer version

New Android O has been released, under developer version, for some Nexus devices;
https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html
Unfortunately, Nexus 6 is not in the list yet , but the Nexus 6P.
I wonder when will be released for Shamu...
Cheers

I don't think there's much hope of Shamu seeing an Android Phone release at all, unless it comes through lineageOS

Officially it will never come. Nougat is last release for the 2014 Nexus 6. Hopefully with developers we will see it after O officially releases of course. No point in custom ROMs based on dev previews or betas.

I think it happened before.

@EA1DDO_SGS2: They were all rather buggy too.

Well based on my experience, the developers most certainly will build their ROM's based on the final release, not on DP (they tend to be more buggy and unpolished, hence the name Developer Preview).
For example, expect to have the final build released by LineageOS sometime in the November/December period.

Lets hope and believe lineageOS developers bring it to our lover shamu

You are not missing out on anything. I tried it on my 5X. Don't really care for it. Esp the layout and the black and white color choices for the menu.

You're right...it HAS happened before when Marshmallow DP first came out. But most devs quickly learned that the effort to "fix" (manage, really) bugs on DPs wasn't worth it.

Is oreo 64 bit only? If its, there will be ALOT of devices that cant port it.

Is Oreo the official name ? I've always just heard O

There's no official name yet, and won't be until either Google I/O, or just before it's released.

I have a Nexus 5x and Google pixel but I was feeling nostalgic and am using my Nexus 6 as my daily right now. Still works great ?
These speakers are still amazing compared to my other 2 phones

Android O will be entirely for armed? I really don't think so. Hence I don't think, as well, why we can't have an O ROM for our Shamu, even without the features specific for armor. That's only my opinion.

Since Lollipop all Android OSs are 64 bit. People forget Android Lollipop was a 64 bit operating system.

Our phones are 32 bit. Nugget was the last OS with both 32 bit and 64 bit builds. O i thought was going to be 64 bit only.

No one knows for certain what will happen. Based upon my limited understanding of things however, the source code is neither 32 nor 64-bit. It's when you compile the source code that you get 32 or 64 bits for the finished product.

It's a really useless thread, O is almost 6 months away, and personally I'm moving to Pixel Xl 2, nexus 6 is a great device and I'll be happy to flash Android O custom rom of and when it comes to it, but I think after almost 3 years it's time to upgrade
