[Q] Will the Nexus 5 get Android 6.1 or CM 13.1? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I see some Android devices already have Android 6.1 but it seems the Nexus 5 is still only coming with 6.0.1. Will the Nexus 5 still get official updates to 6.1 this summer? Or is the device getting closer to "End of Life"?
Also, my girlfriend has a Oneplus 1 which recently upgraded to Cyanogenmod 13.1, I suppose which is based on Android 6.1. However, I can't find any 13.1 snapshots, not even nightlies for the Hammerhead on the Cyanogenmod project page: download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hammerhead
Is it too early to ask for CM 13.1? What about Android 6.1? Does anyone have any information or ideas about that?

Where did you see an official Android 6.1???
There's no official CM nightly called CM13.1 for bacon: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bacon

Its not Cyanogenmod 13.1, but stock rom CyanogenOS 13.1. Its different, and based on 6.0.1
Google didnt announded Android 6.1. Maybe Android Nougat will be, but more probably it will be 7.0.
Nexus 5 shouldnt recieve official Android Nougat update, but u will see some CM or AOSP roms for Nexus 5 based on Android Nougat AOSP code.

Well, there is an image called
Code:
cm-13.1-ZNH2KAS1KN-bacon-signed-88797441b5.zip
on cyngn.com/support
The cm-13.1 part looks like a reference to Cyanogenmod 13.1, but as dekefake already pointed out, it's CyanogenOS which I was not aware of. Also, I just noticed they changed the name in the first column from 13.1 to 13.0.1, so I guess it is just a typo (however, the filename still contains the 13.1 reference).

I did a quick google search regarding Android 6.1 and there are a ton of media items announcing Android 6.1 in June 2016, but also I guess it's just a poor researched reference to 6.0.1.
Sorry for the confusion, but it seems I'm not the only one who is confused here

There are big differences between CyanogenMod and Cyanogen OS, mainly open source vs closed-source & Microsoft apps.
There's no CM13.1 (CyanogenMod ROM), no announcement on their blog and Android Nougat 7 will be the next Android update for Nexus 5.

Wait, I read Android Nougat 7 stock wont be coming unless the community ports it (e.g., AOSP)?

AFAIK the AOSP code is still maintained by Google so we will have a clean version of Android 7 (no need to port from a newer Nexus device => instability).
Anyway, we will have perfect custom roms from Android 7 AOSP branches.

[FLO] [UNOFFICIAL] [DEV] Android 5.1 AOSP for Nexus 7 (2013)

I tried to download Android 5.1 factory image from Google and found out there was none.
So I built one, for testing.
This is a user build of Android 5.1 AOSP with 5.0.1 blobs, so do not expect this to be rock stable.
Gapps for Android 5.1 also missing, you may have trouble getting Play Store to work.
Flash at your own RISK!
1. Download the ROM (XDA DevDB) and extract.
2. Reboot to bootloader
2.1. Unlock bootloader
3. 'fastboot -w'
[THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA ON THE DEVICE]
4. 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
5. 'fastboot flash system system.img'
6. Reboot

The 5.1 binaries for this device arn't out yet are they?
Does anyone have an idea if the 5.0.2 Nexus 7 (flo) binaries will compile and work with the Android AOSP 5.1 source ?
Thanks!

They work just fine. I've been running 5.1 on my flo for a couple days.
I'm surprising there's a lack of posts on this since everyone seems to want 5.1. I guess people are either waiting for the stock OTA or CM. I'm fine with keeping my tablet stock and this will do nicely.

Some users after clean ROM being dead are reverted to the first near stock choice they saw that was the grogg's ROM.
Since the post is pure stock I don't know shy
I have both Roms running both running great!
I am not comparing any Roms here or trying to discourage anybody,just saying...
Sorry if I did posted anything wrong!
•Hit thanks if I helped you..

Maybe you can but a clean wile is always recommended.Do a backup first.
And you can use Titanium Backup for backing up all things .

What version of cm /lineage is best for n5? In terms of speed and stability?
Sent from my Moto X using Tapatalk
Go for 13.0 which is Android Marshmellow 6.0.1, this was the last 'stable' release of CyanogenMod. I have no experience with Nougat on N5 yet, but I suspect performance drawbacks as it is not officially (as in Google) supported anymore.
Also, there is no Xposed framework available for Android 7.1, I'll stick with CM 13.0 for now. That said, I just checked and noticed there aren't any Lineage 13.0 builds anymore. If you are nosy, you can try out the Lineage 14.1 ROM.

Stick with Marshmallow, totally. Nougat has an annoying camera bug
It's the CM version right? No lineage version out yet?

Bro, try out the CM/Lineage OS 14.1 by Dark eyes. The ROM is great!!
I think Nougat is an upgrade for N5. Smoother and more features. Smoooooth. I was always on stock before, so that's my comparison. I've tried both DarkRom versions (caf and regular), and both Lineage versions (unofficial caf and official regular), I think they're all an improvement over mm. I settled on the official Lineage rom, as I prefer simple.

Release LOS 15.1?

hello,
LOS 15.1 is released, is there any information, when the One will get the version official?
thanks
If you mean CyanoGenOS 15.1, released by CyanogenInc, the answer is pretty clear: NEVER. COS is updated to Android 6.0.1, that's it. CyanogenInc doesn't work on OS anymore, Oneplus is never going to release an Oxygen OS build for OPO, so if you want install LOS or others custom ROM, but do not expect anything official at all.

Hi,
i mean lineageos , the offical 15.1 was released at 26 february.
At the moment the lattest official build is 14.1 but for the oneplus 3 and 5 lineage released an official 15.1.
I know that lineage is no "official" release.
My question is when will there an official release for the one?
I want no custom build.
Thanks
So you better check the title of the thread you started, becouse you wrote COS! Anyway, we have to still wait for an official release of LOS and any custom ROM based on it, as there are few problems with camera (not working) and other things not working, so they plan to solve them first and then release. The other roms using Android 8.1 use Sultan Blobs or other to make camera works etc, but it is not the same. You just have to wait.
Feel free to testdrive my LOS build from the official sources at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-unofficial-t3758211

This is not true.... Or device is not listed in LOS 16 updates
what are you talking about? frist, mike itself said it already 5 months ago, that LoS 16 official will come to our device ;P second: here's the lineage OS build page, where you can see mikes progress with LOS 16 https://review.lineageos.org/#/q/owner:mkbestas%40lineageos.org

Question Any Resurrection Remix ROM ?

Hi. I would like to know if there is a chance that a ROM with a resurrection remix will appear? There are no hints on the official website yet about the build with vayu + the latest version of Android 10, when MIUI is already running on version 11
I forecast the chances are low. If after so many months the ROM hasn't been hitherto released yet, I don't thing it's gonna be released anytime soon!
I won't hide that I'm new to this. I installed the latest version of lineageOS and tried to change SystemUI from the RR build, but the interface does not start with this error. I can't guess where "com.android.systemui.keyguard.KeyguardSliceProvider" comes from. Does it even make sense to try further?
