Root Factory Images for 6.0 Marshmallow out

[Rxpert83]

Google dropped a few bits of news today. Android M is now officially android marshmallow - and with that announcement we also have another developer preview available at the link below. *Remember, these are previews and typically have bugs that are worked out before the final release. Nice for a sneak peak at whats to come, but usually not daily driver worthy.*

Directions on how to install are available here:

Google should switch back to the transparent background in the app drawer for Android Marshmallow as in Kitkat.

DANG IT DANG IT

I have to wait clear through work, then my drive then an hour workout .....
I hate waiting!!!
It'll be 6:45 before I am home, then Gotham at 7 I might get to sit down and try at 8:30...

There is only one image for 6.0 - is that for all builds?

The million dollar question
I downloaded the image, but unsure whether to flash it or wait for T-Mo to confirm the build#

I guess I know what I'm doing tonight ... all backed up and ready to go.

I sure hope this clears up the wifi/bluetooth issues I've been having since the last OTA.

Me too, I really want to LOVE my Nexus again, lately it's been a semi-forced really strong friendship.

Perhaps couples' therapy would help?

Are you volunteering?

 

[lunatic59]

Nope, three's a crowd.

Rebooting now ...

Do tell do tell. Is it one size fits all? Are you running the unlocked version or a carrier I forget?

 

[lunatic59]

I've got an AT&T version which was always compatible with the international images. Still installing/updating apps. You'd think I'd pare it down from 143.

Well that was pretty easy. I used Wugs and it loaded in no time flat.

I already loaded Nova Launcher though. I really hate that Google Now launcher. But so far so good! I'm anxious to see how the battery saver works. I didn't re-reroot it yet just left the bootloader unlocked.

Oooooh and something else I just noticed. The full camera module is working again. I don't know if you were aware, HDR wasn't working correctly and now it is.

I'll wait for good news from you guys

According to this, the TMO version will be out later this week. http://www.tmonews.com/2015/10/t-mobile-to-begin-pushing-nexus-6-android-6-0-update-this-week/

I ended up flashing the image on my N6. So far, no Band 12, but everything else seems to be working good! Whenever T-Mo pushes out their version, I'll just flash it then. Takes all of a couple of minutes

 

[shalemail]

I really wish whatever format or method you folks are using to post pictures was working on either my phone or my computer. I R SAD I R MISSING GOODIES.

 

[lunatic59]

I have my screenshots folder set to automatically backup to the cloud (Google Photos -- over wifi only) so when I take a screenshot it's available online in seconds. I open Google photos on my pc, click the image to preview and then right-click preview>copy image url. Then I come back here and paste it in IMG tags.

Easy as decoding alien DNA.

 

[Rxpert83]

They aren't showing up for me either @lunatic59

I can report marshmallow is working just fine on my end.

 

[lunatic59]

Can you see it now? @shalemail , @Rxpert83 ?

I seem to have a solid WiFi and Bluetooth connection so that problem has gone away. Not seeing too much, new, though. For a full point upgrade it's a lot of the same. Hmmmmmmmm

Don't tell @ScaryAlien about that

Edit:

I can see it now
