Hello there,
Im on 6.0.1, should I install the Android 7 Nougat beta now? or should I wait for the official release?
Mods please close this thread.

And why? Anything wrong w/ that question?
It will be here soon, be patient. If you feel like wiping everything by flashing an earlier firmware - starting over when the official version rolls out, go ahead. I'd just wait but that's me. It would seem like a tease

Ok, the Nexus 5 is my first android. And just as I learnt pretty much everything an intermediate user needed to kno (rooting, launchers, clocking, ROMs, kernels, that stuff), there comes another problem. 4.4.3. I've been hearing rumours about the new KitKat version, and it scares me! Coming from iPhone it was pretty simple, click update. What should I expect from android? Is it the same process of "New update, update now?" Click yes and its done? Or is it more complicated then that?
Side note: I'm rooted with custom ROMs and kernels, so is it like an iPhone jailbreak, will it f**k up my phone if I straight up update or do I have to wipe beforehand?
Sorry that's its such a nooby question, I just want to have knowledge of what to expect.
Thanks for putting up with me! ;D

If your stock - you will get it OTA and you just need to click. But if not got to the above thread.
If you're running a custom ROM you get updates from the developer, not Google. If you were running stock, you just go to settings\about phone\system updates.
Your ROM should update to 4.4.3 within a couple weeks, so you can be patient or go back to stock.

I saw on the Internet that KitKat 4.4.4 with security bug fixes has been launched only for nexus 5 through OTA but when I check for updates, the phone says your system is up to date. I'm running stock android 4.4.3 unrooted. Why is this happening? Any help regarding this?
P.S. - I don't want to update using factory images. Only using OTA. Want to know why my phone is unable to get the update.
Thank you

They roll out in stages. You'll have to be patient or check out the ota help in the general forum and download the ota zip

Floating around here are stock 4.4.4 zips you can flash.

Don't worry. I've not received it either. Google sucks with updates and gives absolutely no change log or support. Apple walks all over them in this area. I've read it may take two to three weeks for everyone to get it.

and thats why on update day at apple it takes 12+ hrs for the update to download because their servers are hammered.
pick your poison.
I'd definitely take the staged rollout. No question. Then again, I never wait for an ota. There are plenty of other options available if you're not patient enough to wait. Even waiting for the ota, you'll still get the update before most other devices. Some won't get it at all. Wait, or go a different route. Simple.

I don't understand why people who are so desperate for the update don't just install a custom recovery and flash the zip.
Or just adb sideload like a savage.

I was hoping there was someone who would create a custom kernel similar to what the sickness did based on PJ2 firmware. Seems like development has really slowed down lately. Hopefully it'll pick back up when 7.1.1 is released for our Note 5. This is one of the best phones made so I sure hope development continues.

Actually it'd be nice for a custom kernel on PK1 firmware now. Just hoping someone will build 1.

I think if there was a kernel so they will not provide it publicly before android 7 released otherwise samsung patched it in android 7
so wait and watch what happened in android 7

Hi.
I got an official nougat update today but I definitely don't like new emui 5.0 and want to go back to previous version.
Is there any way to do it (I prefer official solutions).

Moved here, as this doesn't go in the Development Section, read the Forum Rules.
Just checked the TMO software update site and Nougat for the Note 5 now has moved from "Testing" to "Completed".

The OTA updates should be coming very soon!!!
There's multiple threads about this topic.... Why even post another one?
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
Because this is the first tmo confirmation of availability without Smart Switch or having to use Odin. We tend to forget that newbies get confused about options other than Ota.
Got my update last night. ☺
