    Are they just normal flashable zips? I'd seen one previously for the Nexus 4 but it was an awful rigmarole to install it. Once I see the words kernel and binary I switch off.

    Edit: yeah, they're the ones.

    They do provide links to compiled roms at the end that You can flash!

    Might give it a go on the 4. I won't do the 2012 7 as I found a ROM recently that has made it faster than when I had it new on stock Jellybean.

    Which ROM on the N7 did you go for?

    I've been using my nexus 9 with marshmallow for the last few days. Did a reset after upgrade. All the redrawing and reloading is quite annoying.

    Anyone else with a nexus 9 finding this?

    My note 4 is a lot smoother to use.

    You could try turning off the 3 animation options under drawing in developer options?

    Android 6.0 November Security Update images are out


    6.0.0 (MRA58N) for Nexus 9, don't know what other devices are getting it!

    The version you want depends on your device. Look for MDB08M for the Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. MRA58N goes out to both the Wi-Fi and LTE versions of the Nexus 9, along with the Nexus 5. The Wi-Fi 2013 Nexus 7 gets MRA58V. Even the Nexus Player gets some love, with version MRA58N. Edit: We're still waiting on factory images for the Nexus 6 and the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE.


    MRA58V has appeared for the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE, as has LMY48X for the Nexus 6. The latter offers Android 5.1.1, not 6.0.

    6.0.1 Images now available!

    Factory images for the Android 6.0.1 update containing the new emoji are now available for a variety of Nexus phones and tablets. The update is now available for the following devices:

    Nexus 6P
    Nexus 5X
    Nexus 6
    Nexus 5
    Nexus Player
    Nexus 9
    Nexus 7 (2013)

    Quote from here
    The new software arrives as build MMB29K for the majority of the devices listed, except for the Nexus 6P and Player, which now reside at build MMB29M.

    Quote from here

    I successfully update my Nexus 9 and flashed ElementalX Kernel and Systemless SuperSU v2.61

    Note: Both the ElemetalX Kernel and SuperSU v2.61 will patch the boot image, so no need for modified boot images on 6.0.1.

    200 new emoji's eh? I can hardly contain my excitement.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,327 ✭✭✭bogman


    Nexus 9 updated to Android 6.0.1 OTA just now....


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,436 ✭✭✭✭Alun


    Got it last night OTA on my Nexus 5. You can now activate the camera with a double tap on the power button which is cool.

    The only other thing I noticed is that now when I charge it on my (official Google) Qi wireless charger, it displays "Charging slowly" instead of just "Charging".

    Try Out Chainfire's app Flashfire, for easy updating by OTA/Factory Images.


    If you have a completely stock system image, which hasn't been touched by a root file manager/TWRP.

    Chainfire's Flashfire app should be able to apply the OTA even with a modified kernel, as it restores the stock boot and recovery images.

    Keep your system untouched by using AdAway Systemless Host, Busy Box installed into /su/xbin/ using this app and only booted TWRP instead of flashing it.

    Although Flashfire will restore stock recovery before flashing OTA's so twrp can be flashed as well now.


    It also can be used to flash factory images, keeping data and re rooting.

    New site for OTA links. Created last month.

    Think it get's some of the links from here.

    OTA Images for Nexus Devices.


    Google last night made the above available.

    Handy to sideload, if an OTA update corrupts your device. Or if you want to update with a locked bootloader.

    These are Full Block Level OTA images and not patching OTA zips.
