Google have started rolling out the Android 5.1 update.
No mentions of bug fixes on their blog post: http://officialandroid.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/android-51-unwrapping-new-lollipop.html
Today we are rolling out Android 5.1 - an update to Lollipop that improves stability and performance and offers a few new features like support for multiple SIM cards, Device Protection and high definition (HD) voice on compatible phones.
Whether you want to share your phone with a family member or better manage your mobile costs, Android Lollipop 5.1 now lets you use more than one SIM card on a device with multiple SIM slots.

With Device Protection, your lost or stolen device will remain locked until you sign in with your Google account - even if someone resets your device to factory settings. This feature will be available on most Android phones and tablets shipped with Android 5.1 in addition to Nexus 6 and Nexus 9.
High Definition voice calling is now on your mobile phone. Get crystal clear calling with HD Voice between compatible Android 5.1 devices like the Nexus 6 on T-Mobile or Verizon.

Odd, I did a search for this topic and nothing came up in the Nexus 6 threads - so I posted.
We already have a thread for this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/android-5-1-dropping-t3050436

Already tried to dump APKs, almost everything is for arm64, i think ports will not be such a thing. The included launcher and wallpaper picker are 32bit tho, but are the same as those leaked before, with a different signature tho
Unfortunate if true. I was curious what might be ported to the N6.
Someone can Im sure, and hopefully integrate Google assistant into our roms, that's the only thing I want, pixel launcher is already on my phone
Does anybody have an extractable system image, where I can pull alarms, ringtones, notifications and the SystemUI and Framework? I wouldn't mind getting ahold of that new battery icon.
I was able to unrar the images posted via that link and was able to simply ext4fuse mount them. No need to run through sim2img it appears. The media ringtones and notifications appear to be the same files that were released back in August.
file *.img
system.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=bbcb9ad2-245d-035f-a549-7d500312efe1 (extents) (large files)
system_other.img: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=da594c53-9beb-f85c-85c5-cedf76546f7a, volume name "system" (extents) (large files)
@Yasharkhan: I don't think Google Assistant will ever appear on the Nexus 6, for a very simple reason: the 32/64-bit divide. The Pixel/Pixel XL devices run a 64-bit Snapdragon 821 while the Snapdragon 805 in the Nexus 6 is only a 32-bit processor. 64-bit processors can run 32-bit apps, as evident by the Pixel launcher being a 32-bit app in a 64-bit system, but 32-bit processors cannot run 64-bit apps. If Google makes the Google Assistant a 64-bit app and does not create a 32-bit version, even if we could install it on the Nexus 6 it won't run. Since the Assistant is not an open source app, no one would be able to build a 32-bit version that would run on the Nexus 6.
I'd like to be wrong on this one, but the Assistant is an exclusive that only the 5X and 6P are going to get, if Google decides to provide it.
absolutely correct!

Interestingly, however, we can already install Allo, which has the Assistant. I don't think I would put it past Google to offer a 32 bit option since the code base for it is already there. 64 bit devices may see it before the N6 simply because someone will port it over to other 64 bit devices from the Pixel. But otherwise, I think Google is going to to play the long game here (maintaining official Pixel exclusivity for a while) and eventually release it for any device that can support API level 24 (?) If memory serves, Now On Tap had this kind of exclusivity when it first appeared with the 6P and 5X
With the Nexus 6 being Google's last 32-bit device, and with the Pixel line being 64-bit only, chances of the N6 getting the Assistant are between slim and none. Allo is not a terribly good example. While it does have an assistant, the assistant supposedly only works in Allo. A big stumbling block in porting the Assistant from Allo would be Google's penchant for encrypting their code.
I would like to be wrong. I'd like to think we'll get the Assistant. However, I don't see it happening.
Is the new launcher a newer version than what has leaked? if so, can it be pulled out, and posted as an APK?

I don't mean that we will see a "port" to 32 bit devices. I mean we may see official Google support sometime in the 7.x lifetime. As long as the N6 receives official 7.1 and up (which according to what I read today, the N6 may not. 7.1 will only go to devices that can support Daydream... and unless there is indeed official support for Vulcan (different argument entirely...and I don't mean developer support like Qualcomm has insinuated will be possible)), the N6 may not see 7.1 onwards.
I guess I need to upgrade to a 6p, to take advantage of a lot of the future apps.
We won't see official support, as it's not in Google's best interests to support a device that is two years old with a feature that is an exclusive on the Pixel/Pixel XL. The 32/64-bit divide is a convenient excuse to not provide the Assistant. Same goes for Vulkan.
We won't be seeing Android 7.1 anytime soon, if ever. Google has apparently not released any code related to 7.1.

No. What you said is that Google may provide official support to the N6 at some point. I said they won't provide any such support, and provided reasons as to why. How you could draw a conclusion that I said essentially the same thing as you is unknown.

Here is my last comment. Please reread it:

I've added some highlighting for context. I'm not trying to argue with you. But, this clearly shows that I also doubt that we will see official support... So yes, within context, basically the same thing.
Cheers
Regarding Google assistant for our nexus 6.
Found this mod in Nexus 6P forum and was able to implement it in my Nexus 6 successfully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/development/mod-google-assistant-stock-nbd90x-t3477868
Did not require flashing/porting anything at all. Must be on any stock or stock based Nougat ROM (I use latest Nutty Nexus by RachetPanda)
Warning : Experiment at your own risk. Editing build.prop may cause your device to not function properly.
My exact steps-
1. Make sure you have Google App (6.5.35.21 or newer)
2. Add ro.opa.eligible_device=true to the end of your build.prop
3. Edit build.prop and change ro.product.model=Nexus 6 to ro.product.model=Pixel
4. Clear Google App data and remove your Google account.
5. Reboot.
6. After reboot add your google account and activate Now on Tap. This will walk you through setting up Google Assistant
Bugs : Encountered none so far.
Well, contrary to what we have been saying, Google just officially said that the N6 will indeed get 7.1
And near the end is this line:
"...in early December, we’ll roll out updates to the full lineup of supported devices — Nexus 6, 5X, 6P, 9, Player, Pixel C, and supported Android One devices..."
I was going to buy a pixel, but I changed my mind and realized that it's not worth it to spend 700$ on pixel, so I bought a 6p.
If google decides to keep it's AI exclusive to pixels, can it be ported when android 7.1 gets released?!
Sooner or later Google needs more and more data to improve the performance of the assistent, so I'm pretty confident, they will push it out to other than the Pixel phones.
That's great thank you

Yes I think you're right.
I would bet it will be released with official final 7.1 update, but I don't think it will be enabled in 7.1 preview.
This is the Nexus threads. We're all nerds. We'll find a way to port those features over just be patient.
In the general section someone is saying that installing google assistant works after changing API in build.prop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/boot-google-pixel-xl-t3477182/page3

Do NOT change the API level. All of your Gapps will force close / break. Follow this guide to obtain Assistant.

At Google IO
I don't know why Google only want to change thingd that are useful every version of Android. If some features are good, leave it. Example: Anyone wants to clear a notification in only one way? or, who wants to show the notch in the screenshots?
I don't understand Google..
Probably later after the OnePlus 7 gets it,summer sometime I would say
This is still in early beta state with a lot of bugs even on pixel devices:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE4QN6zkiLQ
After seeing more and more of OOS features OP already implemented and Google sells it as 'new feature' in Q with insane amount of bugs... I am an android fan, but this is the first version I am not excited about.
There needs to be a megathread in which devices are listed so that we can buy/ upgrade to better ones
Unofficial or official doesn't matters
Xperia X
XA2
Anything else?

That list is seriously outdated. For example, the instructions for my Nexus 5 are way too old. Now I am running Sailfish 3 + Android support and there is not listed.
Please refer also to together jolla and talk maemo

how did you get Android app support???
I can't post links. Look for SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus 5 CM12.1 Alpha1 | Sfdroid Pre-Alpha/Early Preview in google and look for edp17 posts in his signature. Go to the last pages of the topic.
