A lot of the old projects have fallen by the wayside.The Motorola-manufactured Nexus 6 is Google’s latest Nexus series smartphone built for size and perfection. Unfortunately, as Google's base AOSP has gotten better and added more of the type of features people used to use ROMs for, fewer new basic features have been wanted by the sort of power-users that spearhead ROM development. Remember: a bricked device isn’t the worst case scenario, the really bad things just start there.
Unlocking your bootloader, installing a ROM or custom recovery (and rooting, if that's your preference) are all things that should only be done when you understand the steps involved and the risks associated. The Nexus 6 doesn't use any closed binaries for the camera, so that's not a significant concern here, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're looking at this list for another device or decide you want to stick with a ROM you like when you move to a new one. Additionally, the security of your device might be more easily compromised, and as a result of that potential liability a number of developers of applications (such as mobile banking apps and some games) do their best to block such devices from using their applications.Īs a general note you should be aware that camera support can be poor in many ROMs for many devices, as a result of missing binaries. Installing any other operating systems on your Nexus device will potentially void your (probably already expired) warranty, and the process required to do so can result in a dead device if you make any significant mistakes. Fortunately there are a some options for software going forward detailed below, and it's worth taking the time to sit down and consider exactly what you want and need.Īn important aside, this should be an informed decision. We all know what is dead may never die ( as long as your kernel sources oblige), but I’m going to operate under the premise that we’ve all made it past denial and bargaining and into acceptance on the sad but inevitable fate of Shamu. And there are a few different flavors for your favorite fish out there.įree Willy, or what now to do with your Shamu? While Google may have given up on Shamu, some devices just can’t stay down.

Or, at least, an excuse for those of us without upgrade fever to move ourselves over to a nice and shiny new ROM. Death, however, is not the end, but a new beginning.
We’d like to take this time to sit back and reminisce on our fond, and large, memories of the device. Although we knew it was coming, it seems it was easier to keep the buildbots running until more major changes were made. As of April 3rd, 2017 the Nexus 6/Shamu has truly reached end of life status.
