Today, Google released a rather surprising statement, saying that it would be releasing the first Android N Preview Image for a few Nexus devices. Since Google hadn’t made any previous statements about Android N, this came as a shock for many tech enthusiasts. Well, a good kind of shock of course.

If you have any of the mentioned devices above, then you can download and install the Preview Image to get a taste of Android N.

Prerequisites:

This tutorial is only for Huawei Nexus 6P and we are not sure if it will work on the other variants of the Nexus 6P on other carriers.
Your phone can be on any previous Android version or even on a custom ROM. It doesn’t matter at all. This tutorial will still work for installing Android N Developer Preview Beta.

Disclaimer: We provide various Firmware Updates and Rooting process along with Custom ROM, Modes, file are all belong to their owners/developers. The autor of this site or the developers are not responsible, if you damage or brick your device.Do it on your own risk and follow the instruction properly.

How to Update Huawei Nexus Device to Android N NPD35K Developer Preview 3 Factory Image

Download Android N Factory Image for Nexus 6

Step 2 – Connect your Nexus Device to your computer using the USB cable.

Step 3 – Please make sure Fastboot is configured and properly installed on your computer.

Step 4 – Turn OFF your phone.

Step 5 – Get into the Fastboot/Bootloader Mode on your phone. Turn ON the phone while pressing and holding the Volume Up + Volume Down + Power buttons till you see the Fastboot menu and START on top.

Step 6 – Now extract the downloaded file anywhere in your computer. Go to the folder angler-NPD35K and then copy/paste all the files to your Fastboot directory.

Note: If you followed our tutorial on setting up Fastboot on your computer, there is a 99% chance your Fastboot directory will be the platform-tools folder in your Android SDK directory.

Step 7 – From the factory image files in your Fastboot directory, do the following depending which OS you are on:

On Windows: Run the file “flash-all.bat”.

On Mac: Run the file “flash-all.sh” using Terminal.

On Linux: Run the file “flash-all.sh”.

Step 8 – That’s pretty much that you had to do for flashing the stock factory image on your Nexus. Now wait and watch as the process is completed — or follow the on-screen instructions on your phone if in case you have to unlock the bootloader.

Step 9 – After the installation completes, the phone will boot now and it might take about 5 minutes to boot on your first time. So, please wait with patience!

That’s it! Your Nexus device should now have the official Android N NPD35K Developer Preview Beta software update installed on your phone using the stock factory image from Google! Go to Settings >About phone to verify.

Android N developer preview 2 released Here’s what’s new Complete list

Google just released its second preview of Android N for the developer community. Here’s everything offered in the latest release:

The Android N developer preview 2 includes a new API for 3D rendering called Vulcan, which should offer better performance at a higher efficiency. The update also includes new Launcher shortcuts to quickly perform various actions within a specific app.
Google is also changing its emoji design for what it calls a more “human-like” look. Developers working on messaging and keyboard apps can start updating their emoji now.
The update offers a few improvements to multi-window support, which is a major new feature for Android N. There are some bug fixes as well that should make for a smoother experience overall.

Android N is still only meant for developers, but if you have a Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, a Pixel C or the General Mobile 4G from the Android One series you can try it out for yourself through the Android Beta Program.

Complete list of all the changes in Developer Preview 2

Launcher Shortcuts: One of the more obvious user facing features in DP2 is the ability for apps to add shortcuts to the launcher. Examples include: sending a message to your best friend, navigating home in a mapping app, or playing the next episode of a TV show in a media app.

Emoji Unicode 9 support: Following Android 6.0.1‘s new emoji, Dev Preview 2 adds support for Unicode 9 which replaces the current generic people for more human-looking ones. The update also introduces support for skin tone variations and Unicode 9 glyphs, like bacon, selfie and face palm.

Vulkan : Dev Preview 2 adds support for the Vulkan 3D rendering API [Not all devices will support Vulkan, with more details available in the developer documents.]

New Folders: Homescreen folders have received a slight redesign. While still circular, the folder icon on the homescreen now shows the first four apps. The window effect into the folder is convenient, but could use some polish as the corners of app icons get cut. When there are only three apps in a folder, the third one gets centered.

Calculator Shortcut in Notification Shade: There is now a shortcut to the Calculator app in the notification shade.

Clear All in Multitasking: There is now a ‘Clear All’ button in multitasking. Users have to swipe all the way to the top of the card stack in order to see it.

New Setup Screen: During the initial setup process, a new screen lists shortcuts to set up a mail account, ‘Ok Google’ hotword detection, and control lock screen notifications, etc. Tapping on them will open the corresponding setup screen in the Settings app. However, the screen does not appear to be fully flushed out as pressing ‘Additional apps’ does nothing.

Preview of OS X Gen

Hey everyone. So for the last few months Ive been working on a OS X USB creator for Linux because I didnt really like how all the alternatives, like myHack, Unibeast, Kakewalk, etc, would require you to have access to a Mac in order to use them. I also wanted to create a utility that would give the user much more freedom over everything regarding the installation process. Recently Ive been trying to get it stable enough for a public release, and its starting to shape up very well! Really proud of it so far, and I hope some of you look forward to using it. Lastly, heres a few pictures of it :) And the cat picture is just a temporary place holder lol.

This is of the bootloader options screen. Awesome, isnt it?

And heres the SMBIOS selection and customization menu.

Also heres the additional options menu where you can choose from many applications, kexts, and patches that you want to use. Ive spend a lot of time this week trying to achieve maximum compatibility with all the patches.

So far most things have been tested on Leopard 10.5.6, Snow Leopard 10.6.3, Lion 10.7.5, Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and Mavericks 10.9.2. Hows that for compatible! Well thats all for now.

Update: Someone left a comment asking about where the .app or .dmg go, so heres the pictureof the external resources screen. Lets you provide your own disk image, extra folder, applications, kexts, and bootloader :)

How to update to Android N Developer Preview 2 manually using OTA downloads

Google today announced that Android N Developer Preview 2 is coming OTA to several Nexus devices in the coming days and weeks. If you like to get the latest from Google, you know that “coming weeks” could be a pretty long wait. Thankfully, you can head to the front of the line and install the over-the-air (OTA) update by following our quick guide…

This guide assumes you already have the ADB tools installed on your computer. If you don’t know how to do this or what this is, this guide probably isn’t for you. If you need the ADB tools, head over to Google’s developers site and download the Android SDK. Downloading the SDK and making sure ADB is correctly set up is probably the hardest part, but this guide is for those who have already done this.

Download the OTA

The first step in updating to Android Marshmallow using OTA files is to actually download the proper OTA image file for your device. We’ve compiled a full list of currently-available Android N Developer Preview 2 download links straight from Google’s servers to help you with that.

Prepare your Device

Once you have the OTA zip downloaded to your computer, reboot your device into its bootloader. To do this, power off your device and power it back on while holding the volume down button and the power button down simultaneously. You need to get into the recovery from here. Press the volume button down until you see “Recovery mode” then press the power button. This should present you with the below screen.

Lastly, when you see the green Android icon on the screen, you need to hold and power button down and then press and release release volume up button to reveal the menu. From that menu, select “apply update from ADB” and make sure your device is plugged into your computer if you haven’t already.

Install the OTA

Open up the command line on your computer (terminal for Mac, command prompt for Windows) and change the directory to the location of the OTA file (For example: cd /Users/<yourusername>/Downloads/). Now run the command “adb sideload <name of the OTA file>”. The name of the OTA file is going to be a long string of letters and numbers and will end with “.zip.”

Once you see “Install from ADB complete” on your Android device’s screen, simply reboot your device. Once you’ve successfully rebooted, you should have the latest release of Android on your Nexus.

Install SuperSU and Root Android N Developer Preview Guide

Root is now available for Android N Developer Preview images and can be installed through TWRP or CF Auto Root. If you like testing the latest version of Android earlier than most people, then you might have installed the Android N Developer Preview image on your phone by now.

If you have updated your phone to Android N, you will be happy to hear that Chainfire, the developer who is responsible for some of the most popular root apps on the Play Store, has released SuperSU v2.69 which supports Android N Developer Preview. The easiest way to root Android N is by flashing SuperSU v2.69 through a custom recovery such as TWRP, but if you have no recovery installed, then there is another alternative called CF Auto Root.

How To Root Android N with SuperSU v2.69 and CF Auto Root

Since TWRP is not yet available on Android N, the developer recommends using CFAR. It is a simple way of rooting your Android N device. You need to install the USB drivers and download the CF Auto Root package.

Download required files

CF Auto Root for Android N

Nexus 6P: CF-Auto-Root-angler-angler-nexus6p-v2.70.zip
Nexus 5X: CF-Auto-Root-bullhead-bullhead-nexus5x-v2.70.zip
Nexus 6: CF-Auto-Root-shamu-shamu-nexus6-v2.70.zip
Nexus 9: CF-Auto-Root-flounder-volantis-nexus9-v2.70.zip

How to use CF Auto Root on Android N

Firstly, you need to download the correct CF Auto Root package for your phone. You can download it from the download link below. Once downloaded, extract the package. You will find two folders and three files: “root-windows.bat”, “root-mac.sh” and “root-linux.sh”. Each file is for a different OS, Windows, MAC and Linux.[ads-post]

Turn your phone off. Go into bootloader or fastboot.
Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.
Double click on one of the three files, depending on what OS you are.

Follow the instructions if any. Then the phone will reboot and you will have root on your Android N device.
