Will start being rolled out to other phones as carriers/manufacturers work on updates.

Why so fast, I think most of users didn't even know about the version 6.0 [emoji6]

Wish my phone could get enough dev support to eventually have a custom Android Nougat ROM, but that's a pipe dream.

The article put it pretty plain, up to a year for some of us to get it, if at all.

I found a link to the update for the nexus 5x on another website. I won't be home to check it out for a few hours, anyone got it yet?

waiting for the reviews to put up here. Android 7 released much faster after 6.

Hopefully get it on the S7 Edge early next year.

I read it 5 times and still I don't see Nexus 7 (2013)
[deep sigh]

The 2013 Nexus 7 and Nexus 5 wont be getting Nougat, unfortunately official supports has to end sometime.

There might be some custom ROMs available soon though.

I want to hear all the "gotchas" before I even get interested.

I updated last night and it worked fine. I did drop back to 6.0 this morning, ad away couldn't write the hosts file and I can't do ads

"guys, to get adaway working on N you need to flash the systemless zip found in the adaway thread. did that through flashfire, and everything works as intended so far"

Stolen from XDA


Flash the zip from that thread with flashfire then install the app. That's how I got it working.

Now that I don't see ad's I really like the new version. The changes to the notification tray looks nice.
