Seeing as there is no thread for the OP3 discussing Nougat as it pertains to this device, I though I would start a discussion thread.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android-nougat-finally-released-get-it-now/

Android 7.0 was released August 22nd 2016 for the Nexus 5X, Pixel C, and Nexus 9 tablet. The factory images are available for download. Interestingly, Google also announced that the LG V20 will be the first device to launch with 7.0, meaning the Marlin and Sailfish nexuses are a bit farther away.

Hopefully OnePlus releases 7.0 for the OP3 sooner rather than later...

Edit: Nexus 6 and 6P have yet to receive OTA, but are expected to receive it soon

curious as to whether OOS or CM will get a full Android N ROM together first.
Since the OP3 devs are awesome, i'd guess there will be unofficial builds of CM before OnePlus releases the official OOS Nougat build. Although obviously early CM Nougat builds may not be 100% stable, but will obviously improve over time.

Now to wait for the AOSP drop and for someone talented to put together a ROM :)

Of course a custom ROM will come first, OOS takes far too long for what little changes it has.

Android N does not look to be a giant leap from M so I don't think it will take OnePlus that long to get a beta or full release out
yeah, just multiwindow and vr support and little little design changes + some changes to doze. testing the final release on my 5x.

Moreover OP have to adjust the drivers for nougat...

The OP3 ist my daily driver, so i want a stable build. :p

I dont think oneplus will take longer time to update to android n. They may have learnt their mistakes they did in oneplus 2 and might not repeat this time. This is just my opinion.

If OP releases a stable Nougat build before the end of the year I would consider that a success. More importantly, I'd like them to release their camera source code so that it can be used in Aosp or CM based ROMs
