Last year, Google released Android 6.0 Marshmallow and as of Google’s latest Android version distribution numbers, it’s only installed on 15.2% of active Android devices.
While Google Nexus Phones users are now on top of the world when saying about Android Nougat.
Since the Nexus 5, along with all those before and after it, is considered an AOSP device made for developers, aren’t custom ROMs expected to be involved eventually?
Android Nougat will analyze handsets whenever they are powered on and will have the capability to prevent them from booting or to restrict them to a limited-use mode if viruses are detected. But as we know, OTA updates are usually done via staggered rollouts, so it will take a bit of time before you see Android Nougat OTA updates on your devices. One of which is the multi-tasking support with a split-screen function.
Multitasking: Android 7.0 Nougat makes it the first OS to be more useful on tablets.
We will continue to update this with new information so check back for regular updates about problems, fixes and more. There is also a divider to resize windows.
Moving on to the next feature, the stock Android interface well now support axis of multiple windows at the same time on the screen. There isn’t a major overhaul of things, but more of improvements.
Quick Settings and Switch: Google is also introducing a new quick settings feature that allows quick access to bluetooth, WiFi and other features like flashlight. Google did so yesterday, formally announcing the release of Android 7.0 Nougat over on the Android Blog. Use the feature to reply to emails, texts and notifications from other apps.
As of August 24th, Santhosh M’s port of Android 7.0 for the Nexus 5 is still very much a work in progress. The new API promises better graphics experience on both flagship as well as low-end devices. It also packs support for Google’s new VR standard called DayDream VR.
Head on over to our forums to keep an eye out for the first batch of custom ROMs based on Android 7.0. This means that app developers must be enough prepared now for the rolling out of Android 7.0 Nougat.
