Just got my Nexus 6P and don't know what to flash - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've unlocked and rooted. I have several questions atm:
1. Is Nougat stable or recommended?
2. Can I use exposed framework/Viper4android on Nougat?
3. Can I flash back to Mashmellow after flash nougat and don't like it?
Thank you in advance.

1. Yes, for the most part.
7.0 ROMs are based on official 7.0 source and are very stable. 7.1 ROMs are also generally stable, but they aren't based on stable source for the 6p because google hasn't released it yet. Though it seems official 7.1.1 will be coming to the 6p next week.
There is a bit of a transition period right now as ROMs are going from 7.0 > 7.1.
2. Last a heard is that Xposed isn't ready for Nougat. But I'm not sure about Viper. I do not use either one.
3. Yes.

Thanks. I just found that viper4android can work on Nougat. I am still thinking to flash mashmellow and wait for Nougat to go mature.

Flash resurrection ROM you won't be disappointed

Exynos N910C: recommended Android 7 builds

I'm looking for recommendations on what would be the best 7.x rom for N910C.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Well... at the moment there are no Nougat ROMs and probably Note 4 will never get such an update. I guess we may see some some extremely buggy AOSP Nougat ROMs in the future but thats it.. who knows!
we will get nougat roms and may be official nugat update
There are no N910C nougat ROMs at this moment.
Samsung wont release an offical ROM
Our best oportunity comes from the developers here, one is trying to port a nougat ROM from samsung's tablet, but that's all there it is.
Finally, Nougat was released more than 6 months ago... at one point it would be more wise for any developer to start working on android O, and forget about nougat. In that situation you will loose all hope for any new ROMs for the N910c.
Sorry, but that's the awfull truth.

N9005 roms and official 7.1 builds ?

After a recent disaster with my S5 I replaced it with a Note 3 n9005.
Am very happy with the phone but it has so much potential to be better. Are there any 7.1 roms that are actively being updated and is there any chance of official builds any time soon.
I would love to put 7.1 on this phone but don't want to get stuck with bugs I have to put up with for extended periods.
Thanks for any advice in advance.
Official 7 for Note 3 . No never according to Samsung .
roms that are actively being updated

There are always bound to be bugs when dealing with unofficial software like ports or ROMs, they're not perfect. As for an official Nougat release for a 4 year old phone that doesn't even have an official Marshmallow release? I highly doubt it. I would suggest just sticking with stock.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I know Samsung will never upgrade this phone to nougat or above but the custom rom community have done some amazing things bringing the latest versions of android to older phones when their manufacturers stop supporting them to make you buy their latest an greatest phone.
When I asked about official builds I was referring to Resurrection Remix or Lineage LOS 7.1 builds which get weekly updates. There will always be bugs I know but weekly builds help to fix them.

If I may suggest, I would try out a Note 7 port. I know it's not Nougat but in my opinion, Marshmallow with the Note 7 features is just as good and a lot of people have tested them out and are really stable. But as for more Nougat ROMs, RR and Lineage I think are the only options but I haven't tried them myself.
There is an official Note 5 Nougat rom out, so it should be possible to port that. We just have to wait for someone with the knowledge and interest to do it.
I'm running the Note 7 Phronesis Marshmellow rom, and I highly recommend it if you don't want to wait for a Nougat rom.

Thank you am currently trying the Phronesis Rom N7 v5.2 and am liking it very much very smooth and seems very stable.
And if i'm reading the forum correctly there should be a V6 version becoming available in the next couple of days.
thanks for the recommendation this rom will do very nicely until or if someone ports the N5 nougat rom which we can only hope for.

Is it possible to downgrade Nexus?

I'm now using Android Oreo, but I'm considering installing unofficial Android system to my Nexus. I'd like to try Android Oreo or android Nougat. But the thing is I'm afraid that my phone may be laggy or buggy.
According to the post for Nougat port, the camera doesn't work well on the system.
So I'm wondering if I can downgrade to my Android Lollipop in case I can't stand the new system.
Thanks!
You can switch ROMs back and forth at any time, just make sure you make backups and always do a clean flash. Custom ROMs are always a subject to bugs so go for the most stable one you can find which would be Lineage OS.

There are many rock stable Nougat ROMs available for mako and you can easily find them on xda. Even some of the Oreo ROMs are stable enough to be daily drivers...
And yes, you can downgrade or upgrade the versions as you wish (that's the benefit of having a Nexus phone, isn't it?)

There is already ongoing discussion on this topic : https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/discussion-stable-oreo-rom-t3792049
Also make sure you are posting in question and answer section not in development section..
There's no Oreo custom ROM stable at moment, if you really want to use custom ROM i would recommend Nougat ROMs, especially the Official Lineage 14.1. Alias, even Lineage and ROMs based on lineage suffer from random reboot(And thats why after using custom ROM for more than a year on my Athene i started using Stock again, where everything works well and no random reboot)

Resurrection remix 5.8.5 seems great. No random reboots. Been using it for almost 1.5 years now.
Nougat ROMs have no reboots and hardly any minor bugs. Orero ROMs do have some bugs but are 90% stable which is due to the old baseband and blobs of the device. Hopefully, once official Oreo update is out (or even soak test is out), it should fix the remaining 10% problems.
I tried
RR (Oreo)
Lineage OS (Oreo)
Havoc OS (Oreo)
And in my experience the "most stable" is by far Havoc, righ now is what Im using even when the Dev just droped the project
Im waiting for RR to improve and will be definitly looking for it

reliable custom rom with stable camera and security updates?

Stock based rom has become painfully slow and unresponsive. I installed resurrection remix pie but camera is buggy (slow or crash).
Any reliable custom rom with stable camera? Even older android versions as long as there are security updates

It depends on user preferences. If you have Exynos variant, I would go for Nemesis Refined Rom 3.x.x. if you have Snapdragon, I recommend Norma N7 Port v26 or Nemesis Note 7 port v3. But choose N4 camera in Aroma installer if you want stable camera.
I have snapdragon thx but stock based roms don't have security updates anymore right?

Norma has security update from 1st September 2017. It's UI that matters. You are getting Dream UX for free, which actually works better and smoother than stock Marshmallow ROM. To be honest, I have never seen Android phone being hacked or something, I don't know why people pay so much attention to security updates.
