I hope they aren't holding out. By February s7 will be announced. Don't tell me they're going to delay it past that announcement..?

I ran all M previews & official Marshmallow on my Nexus 5. It's really not all that different over Lollipop. The only thing I miss is to be able to restrict individual permissions per app (baked in). Sure, I do do this using different methods now via xposed. Doze is nice especially when you tweak it.

Pointless thread ?? Isn't this an information hub? Why post your pointless reply.
And everyone else thanks. I haven't seen any info or hint we are getting 6.0 of course we will be getting it but the question is when. True maybe not that much different than lollipop, but where it does differ, is great. Mainly the app permissions.

Note 5 is supposed to get 6.0 next month. Sprint should release 2 months later

We should see marshmallow summer 2016. They should give everyone the option to beta test not just s6 people that would shut up alot of us waiting suck i rather get a buggy rom and just get updates until its perfect like how Microsoft let people try new stuff before hand like the microsoft preview on pc.

By the time we get it the note 6 will be out.

If you wanted to start a mm thread to discuss rumors on dates and what not i understand. So maybe it was how you phrased it. So mm and are we getting it seems silly. We are the most current flagship from samsung. So like i said of course we are. Im as anxious as anyone for it.

Quarter 1 2016 eta means nothing for the US carriers. The international version will get it first. The US carriers are the last to release theirs.
Its like watching the Norad Santa radar as he makes it around the world, but in REAL slow motion.

Not necessarily true. I think we are better off than AT&T and Verizon. Sometimes Sprint gets an update before the other carriers most times not [emoji1].

Rumor is that Samsung will start rolling it out to the note 5 in February, then you have to wait for the carrier to give it a once over, on top of that, it's mostly Samsung fault. They have what 4 currently flagship phones not including the last gen ones. We have the s6, s6 edge, edge +, and the note 5... and that's just the current flagship, not to mention the other phones they've put out last year. Samsung as a company, is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest smartphone oem.

Android N Developer Preview expands beyond Google’s own devices

What are the chances the MPX gets the N Preview?
http://techcrunch.com/2016/04/21/an...ond-googles-own-devices-hits-sonys-xperia-z3/

I keep my hopes high but my expectations low. If we were still a Google company we would be the first on N. I have high doubts that we will get the beta but I could be 100% wrong.

It is highly unlikely that we will get the preview. Moto is owned by Lenovo now and it has been pathetic providing normal software update to the devices (forget the Developer previews). So dont keep your hopes high.

Not sure if you guys read the article, but the Sony Xperia Z3 is open to the preview.
"Unlike Google’s own devices, though, you won’t be able to enroll in the N preview online and then get the update over the air. Instead, you’ll have to download the preview and manually flash your device. After this, future updates will arrive over the air direct from Sony.
With this update, you can now install the Android N Developer Preview on the Z3, Nexus 6, 6X, 6P, Nexus Player, the Pixel C tablet, and the General Mobile 4G (Android One)."

I would love to see Motorola get on board with this, but I am not counting on it. Still waiting for 6.0.1 in the US after all...

Look how long is Motorola taking to release 6.0.1, a minor update. Forget developer previews, we'll be lucky if the full version of N gets to our phones by Christmas.

I agree with this 100%, the update to 6.0 was quick, but 6.0.1 dropped right around the time that 6.0 went public for MXPE and US users still haven't seen it. There has been an Asian release and a Euro release in very limited fashion. In addition to that OS update, the December and January Security updates were skipped, along with the April update. March Security patches are included in the 6.0.1 update that has been seen in other markets.

I did all I'm saying is I have my doubts
Sent from my XT1575 using XDA Labs

Isn't it possible to port it?

So I have a crazy question: if I can do a clean install (with zero issues!) of Ubuntu on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop meant for Win8, why can't someone take the base 6.0.1 code and "port" it to the XT1575? Even if that would leave the phone with some features "broken", let's see what those would be? Or how about at least " porting" the monthly Android security updates so we can flash them ourselves? Yes, updates can break things, but the patched security benefits probably outweigh that risk...

Android 7.0 Nougat being pushed to AOSP / Nexus

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2016/08/taking-final-wrapper-off-of-nougat.html
Only a matter of time now!

Yeah, my hope was that since moto was dragging feet on the 6.0.1 and the monthly security updates that we would see Nougat earlier than most, but I then wondered why did they release a May security update at all. So that thought sent my hypothesis that they were working on a Nougat release right out the window.

Well, they can begin working on it now. Needed AOSP source.

They can't with on nougat until Google releases the source code. Motorola/Lenovo has also confirmed security updates will be quarterly vice monthly. They probably have a limited number of software engineers and developers and 6.0.1 honestly didn't really show that it could bring much in additional features to this phone. With nougat, there are reasons to move forward with the release.

Maybe this will fix the audio stutter with LTE calls on T-Mobile.

I know this might seem stupid but cant we port the nexus 5x factory android 7 rom?

I wouldn't bank on getting Nougat. Let's not forget how quickly Lenovorola dropped the 2014 Moto X in terms of Marshmallow. I know the unlocked variants eventually got it, but it took awhile.
I've this bad feeling in my gut our phone's support is going to be cut off. It's just like during the days of waiting for the Atrix to get 4.0 only for it to get canned.
Hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Just a fluff piece and purely conjecture... No reference to anything concrete like 95% of all articles out there. Fact is, only 16 handsets are absolutely confirmed to get Nougat, everything else is unofficial. And the only Moto on the list is the Nexus 6.

I wouldn't say we have to get it, but not offering major update support for a flagship type device up to 18 months after release would be a bad move by Lenovo. It would definitely push me away. I can deal with fewer less frequent security updates as well as bypassing minor ones (6.0.1), but a major one that this device can easily handle is expected.

Getting flashbacks to the Atrix 4G's journey to 4.0. What a time to be alive.
This being a new Motorola in ideology, so-to-speak, I'm optimistic, but it doesn't bode super well that they've already directed resources away from security updates. But who knows, maybe they did that to work on bringing 7 up.
Too bad they don't just tell us what's happening.

That is something I have always wished for in an OEM. I guess they keep silent not to get hopes up, only to crush them later if something doesn't work out, but some sort of information would be nice. At least tell us it's being worked on, or what is being worked on.

Personaly i don`t agree, i`ve had the the 3/ 3T/ 5 and support is terrible. They can`t get the camera software/ processing up to par and and after only 6 months your device is allready obsolete. Would never buy a OP again. Nokia fills the gap between OEM devices and the Pixels by creating a new affordable Nexus line, imo a golden move for all android purists.

I've got the Beta, and the only issue I have is the 'xxx is running in the background' alerts (which are part of Oreo anyway, and annoying rather than a showstopper), and lock-screen display is not showing the number of e-mails and texts unread.

Roll back is full wipe. Not something I'll be doing anyway. Sticking with oreo

I also updated to Oreo, so far i have found everything snappier.
Just hope they get the ringtone volume back to nougat levels.
camera seems to take slightly sharper images, but no increase in speed taking shots.
All in all this phone is what the pixels should be, all phones should come with a memory card slot.

So are you saying that even in beta it is as stable as 8.1? What bugs have you personally witnessed using the beta or what noteworthy upgrades or changes that you personally enjoy?You never really answered my questions. Your response sounded like a sales pitch lol

The only issues I have had with the PBeta on the most recent version was with beta versions of a few Google apps. I rolled back to stable versions for now of the Google app and search app and have had no more issues. Battery life has been solid even a bit better than 8.1.

For sure i personally think its perfect. No bugs but my google phone app beta an update ago, would force close. They issued a fix yesterday. Thats the only bugs i have had and i have run the past 3 versions. 8.1 is boring. The new gesture system is great and the battery life is insane

I have some issues with streaming music on the P beta... Like Spotify won't let the system know it's playing music and after 2 songs the music stops because doze kicks in... But other than that and the occasional data/wifi drop/stall it's been pretty damn good
