First of all, what a question LOL
Of course, we can, we JUST need someone to build it, right? How about you? Maybe you want to give a try, eh?
LOL dude, I hope you weren't serious asking such a question lolololol..

not a dev dude.:silly:
just wish to get our hox in the list of devices running 6.0
That's actually a valid question. It's the main reason for most of us to be on xda. To get something new for our device.
As long as it hasn't been asked a few times before, I don't mind it.

I am sure it is possible, but my time with HOX is slowly running out. After 3 years with this great little device it's time for me to move on.
Here is why I think it can be done: 1 2
I have started patching the hox to the point where I can build the ROM and the kernel, but it does not yet boot.
Everything is here, for anyone to play with. May need just one small patch more ... may need a lot of further patching. I guess a lot!

NO @teemo don't leave the hox you are the last developer here. Where you think to go?
Lol, luckily there is no new device i really like, so I will hang on to HOX for a while. What I want is a phone that doesn't look like iPhone or sammy. M7,8,9 are okay, but I want more than 5 inch and form factor should be something like G3. A9 would probably be fine, but a bit too small. 9X will probably be similar to A9, if I decode llabtoofers tweets correct. M10 might be interesting, let's see. But if it keep M789s display xy proportions it's a no go.
Well, back on topic, time is my worst enemy and it's not getting better. Currently I'm settling with SlimKat, that does everything better than lollipop except occasional freezes on videos. Want to check out AICP or RR or... , but...... time.
Ah, almost forgot to mention, if nothing cool pop up, Lumia could be the way to go. I like the new one.

The lumia950 is indeed amazing!
But stay away from the G3 and G4 they have a giant problem that is called a 2k display...
These new high resolutions chokes up the gpu to the point that smooth gaming/vr are impossible and to the point where even scrolling is laggy.
RR freezes ALOT (it returns after a few mins) and just stops responding to everything(even the power button) especially while browsing.
Have you thought about z5 compact? it got a 720p screen a super camera and an extremely powerfull gpu but it is small.
form factor like an LG... How about a ZENFONE 2?
ps: What is a 9X? never heard of that phone and about the A9 you just said: "something that doesnt look like an iphone..."(even though the iphone looks like an htc and not vice versa )
The m10 will be great if it will maintain its 1080p display.
YOU ARE AWESOME! thank you for everything you have done on this device!
I think too that the one x is a fantastic and damn durable phone(drops frequently never broke and still without a scratch after 3+ years) its just the new phone's batteries are what i envy, (7+ screen hrs vs my 1.5-2 hrs)
I got a spare HTC One X, even tho I'm still a noob at being a dev but I sure learn pretty fast when i'm interested in things.
I'm going to play around with build it for a bit.

Sorry X9 but 2G RAM and 16G storage, its not my new phone.
Will definitely have a look at ZenFone. Looks like Zoom is about to be released, lets see if the camera is good or sucks. Looks interesting and with 4G RAM and up to 128G internal it has potential. Not sure about Intel though.
They won't add M for this device...

Just thought I'd throw this out there because the 1+3 is my first 1+. Can anyone with past 1+ experience give me an idea of first, whether we should expect to get Nougat, and second, if we can expect it, how long after the initial release will it be released for us?
Well, I meant to post this in Q&A, but I guess discussion works too.
Judging by the 1+2, yes, half a year after N goes official.
But who knows, maybe they improved, we got a quick RAM and display fix after all, so I'll say it'll land on january 17th 2017.

It's not like my post was even lengthy...
Official update for sure takes months. But i hope CM and AOSP brings us a (more or less stable) N beta some weeks after the launch. So maybe for christmas this year.
Thanks Hatshipuh and Tiz92. That seems like a reasonable time frame.
Oh, and extra points to Hatshipuh for an exact date estimate! :laugh:

Well said. Wasn't there a pic floating around of the op3 running a preview N? I remember seeing it somewhere online bit I didn't care coz I never thought I would buy this phone at the time.
It was a fake. There were "0"s with different fonts.
History is a cyclic phenomenom.
At each new Android version the same threads, with the same answers: we don't know.
The correct answer is: When it's done. And sooner for custom roms.

Come back to future bro, lol
It's better to not count on getting Android N.
And even if it comes, there is a probability that certain things in a N update will be annoying or worse than on Marshmallow so that many users will prefer to not update to N.
But that is OK - on my LG G2 which I used for 2.5 years I still have Android 4.4. And it works, so what?
I heard that Android Nougat will be "6.1". Is it true?

No, it will be 7.0
I don't pin my hopes high of getting android N anytime sooner than 1 year. I will be relying on custom ROMs. The only thing i will be missing is camera quality. Photos on custom ROMs just don't match with what i can get with stock. Hopefully we get alternative.

android n for one plus 3 ? in Feb-March 2017 , they have a history of slow updates. best to assume more time to avoid horrible disappointment lol . but who will stay on stock for so long ? i just hope the op3 gets a cam mod that makes us utilize the slow mo video recordings in aosp/cm roms.. then id go ahead.

Its a little different with Nexus and Pixels. By the time OEMs get Android its a fine tuned product. This is a small incremental beta, not a full blown OS changeover. Probably won't be many bugs.

All I am saying is there is a difference between Google phones and Moto, Samsung, LG etc. By the time they get Android software its already good to go thanks to you and I. We already tested this stuff on Nexus and Pixels. There's nothing wrong with trying betas and developer previews.

Yeah, but when you get out of the beta program, some people have said you have to wait to get back to a stable build. Its not instant. Unlock your bootloader and flash the factory image. If your on a locked Verizon phone then it is what it is. Your at Google's mercy.

I have heard people having to wait at most, 24-48 hours after getting off the beta program, to return to stability. New updates are one of the most exciting things about these devices. That said, if stability is important to you, then stay where your at and let the other's be guinea pigs. Keep a close eye on the comments of other's that run the beta and see if its for you? I'm unlocked and rooted. Can do whatever I want, when I want. Haha, at the mercy of the great devs of XDA of course and Google.

7.1.1 beta on my 6p was almost the final build and actually an upgrade to 7.0. my guess is 7.1.2 will be the same. Hopefully fixes some of the TMO network issues I've been having with my pixel and hopefully 256 QAM is enabled among few other features our phones are capable of that aren't functioning yet. AptX support would be a nice welcome

Summary for RR
Final N build will come out when sept security patches are out
No work has started by us for O yet
When we start the work on O , main branches will be kept private till we carry out our tests
O builds will not come out for a month or maybe more
Though it does not mean individual RR developers are not working because then you also have this
https://plus.google.com/+AkhilNarang/posts/Hup1zPxKNyW
Devs are working hard to bring up O for OP3 they are working in the background. Expect some alpha builds to drop next month for sure
Because of project treble being introduced into oreo, I'm not sure how it will effect custom roms. Pure nexus roms will be easy, Will insanely feature filled roms like rr could very well be alpha or beta till december or january.

Closed beta 8.0 was just released. Public beta expect by the end of this month. http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...coming-soon-public-beta-slated-end-september/
As I'm sure we all know here, our beloved Pixel 3 XLs are officially getting dropped by Google in about three weeks. If history repeats itself, though, we will get the Android 12 release in October followed by one last OTA in December. My typical usage pattern with a phone is:
Get the phone and use the stock ROM until the phone reaches EOL.
Once EOL is reached, move to LineageOS.
I know that this is a pattern that some others more or less follow as well, but I was wondering about what variations there are to the pattern. Does anyone here use another ROM? As much as I like LineageOS, I would be more interested in using a ROM that is basically identical to stock Android. I have read about compiling AOSP from source so as to maintain my own ROM that does just that, but from what I understand, that does not work very well for unsupported devices. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Off the top of the head... EOL only means no more official updates or support, ie security fix's...
Your fone working on a custom rom will still work, since you'd think it was the custom rom updated...
If they do stop the fone calling, there's plenty other apks for 'near field' communication

Kl, well, me, I'm wondering this too just now, because I'm stuck with a system-as-root fone thats a pain, and now there's too many different too choose from, and if they're of the best quality, they now have to cover at least 4 different styles of booting alone, I'd watch those for the ones updating quickest

Well, LineageOS certainly does that, but at the same time, it also takes them about 6 months to move to a new major release of Android. I was hoping that someone would know of a release that does it just as well, but is a little more flexible with migrating. I haven't found any myself.
I've yet to convince myself which version is for my fone lol

I've already moved to LineageOS, simply to get the monthly security updates. I have not seen any functional loss on LineageOS. If you don't feel you need security updates, just stay on the stock ROM, especially if you think you need any Android 12 features. IMO, new Android features simply add more bloat than I want or need. Your opinion may differ.
Not at all, they all sound excellent, however, my fone cant write to the actuall system, can mount, but no joy yet doing anything else, and no overlay works so far, the only custom os I could install was a chrooted nethunter, which was pretty lame and useless being my system as root is a pain... so I'm looking..

My plan, at least for now, is to ride on stock until the last update is pushed, and then once LOS gets updated to 12, I will migrate. The only problem with this, though, is that it would leave me without security updates from the end of December until either March or April, and I am not sure how I feel about that.
My experience might help...Last year I was using a Motorola 5Plus with Pixel Experience Rom and loved it. My phone was fast, stable and highly compatible to the "Pixel Experience". I had a hardware issue and decided I liked the PE so much, I went ahead and got a Pixel 3xl...I've never had such a seamless transition...was just faster with better hardware but almost no thought changing for different mechanisms of actions...
I'm hoping someone picks up PE and ports it to the 3XL and I'll use that....otherwise, any alternative suggestions for closest to "stock" Pixel would be appreciated...

Yeah I have seen PixelExperience and would really like to use it over LOS if the 3 XL gets support. As far as I know, the 2 XL did not receive support until it's EOL, so there's hope. Is the feature parity as spot-on as is claimed?

For the features and functions I use, it was almost totally seamless...it was less than a typical release level amount of change (e.g.: 10->11 was more than I experienced PE -> P-3xl)
YMMV however...based on what features/functions you use most heavily.

Great! I guess it's time for me to start researching building my own image.
"David B said he's gonna research building PE for 3xl....
GREAT...be sure to use the AOSP version ... there are a couple of flavors of PE but IMHO the AOSP version is the closest to the stock 3xl ...
If you don't mind guiding me a little over the rough patches, I'd be willing to help test your creation once you're out of alpha<G>...(my 3xl is my daily driver)... specifically, I'm used to having TWRP available for the maintenance/management of the ROM and if I understand it properly, TWRP isn't used / available for the 3xl ROM's...

For now, I would like to hold off on it. I don't really see a point in putting effort in to building PE for the 3 XL when we're about two weeks away from the next major Android release, at which point, PE will need reworked by the dev team. If the 3 XL is not picked up by someone else in the modding community at release time, and I've seen some people that think it will be, then I will start researching it.

I don't really see a point in putting effort in to building PE for the 3 XL when we're about two weeks away from the next major Android release, at which point, PE will need reworked by the dev team. If the 3 XL is not picked up by someone else in the modding community at release time, and I've seen some people that think it will be, then I will start researching it.

Sounds like a plan...will keep an eye on development threads for it once it goes out of support.
Even though the last update will be in Dec I'll probably keep using the 3XL until the 7 comes out (or 6a maybe). I just had the battery replaced a couple months ago, and there is nothing wrong with the phone. I usually use devices until EOL hits, and then upgrade when the next OS/phone comes out, so whatever device I'm using at any given time is on the current OS release (IE: 3XL on Android 12 until Android 13 drops, and then upgrade phone to get Android 13).
I would like to use that method, but I think it's too expensive, so I try to settle for "my phone's basically dead."

I've already moved to LineageOS, simply to get the monthly security updates. I have not seen any functional loss on LineageOS. If you don't feel you need security updates, just stay on the stock ROM, especially if you think you need any Android 12 features. IMO, new Android features simply add more bloat than I want or need. Your opinion may differ.

Does the unlimited Google Photos upload work on LineageOS?

I don't know how to tell if it is still in effect. I see photos counted against my storage allotment, but don't know if that is just for my previous phones, or if it includes the Pixel photos.
My guess is you would have to use the Google Camera and Photo apps to keep unlimited upload, if it can be kept with LineageOS.
