Android Pie ROMs are now Accessible for Nexus 5X and Nexus 6


In various instances, Google only offers major firmware updates for its devices for a couple of years. This limitation resources that that Nexus 6 stopped getting updates after Android Nougat and the Nexus 5X got Oreo. But thanks to some developers, there are custom ROMs now accessible that bring Android 9.0 Pie to the two handsets (via XDA-Developers). 

The ROM made for the Nexus 5X is named Nexus PieX and was created by an individual that goes by the username argraur. According to the creator, almost every feature of the phone works as desired counting Google apps and the camera. Unfortunately, VoLTE now doesn’t work, as well as SafetyNet (Google’s API for noticing smartphones in a “known-good state”).

The Nexus 6 ROM founded on the AOSP was built in an association between Myself5 and the CarbonROM team. Just like with the earlier ROM, almost everything is useful. Formally, the mobile network infrequently stops working after a reboot, but it can be fixed by entering a dialer code and allowing the mobile network.


It’s honestly quite remarkable seeing unchanging ROMs built for these four- and three-year-old devices just weeks next to the official release of Android Pie. Going forward, numerous of these bugs should be fixed and agree for a decently-smooth experience on the Nexus 5X and 6.
