| Android v8.0 Oreo Build For The Nexus 5 Surfaces |
Salam Friends! Hope you're fine'shine as you know
Android O (Oreo) was announced a week ago today and has already started hitting Nexus and Pixels devices. Of those Nexus devices, the Nexus 5 is not included. That is because
Google stopped updating the device after
Android Marshmallow, but that hasn’t stopped developers. Android Nougat is unofficially available for the Nexus 5 and so is Android v8.0 Oreo.
The
unofficial Android v8.0 Oreo build for the
Nexus 5 comes from recognized
XDA contributor
Santhosh M. If that name sounds familiar, that is because he also brought a stable build of
Android Nougat to the Nexus 5 as well. The build was just posted today, so it is still a work in progress. Currently, only
WiFi is working properly and it is not suitable to be a daily driver. There is no ETA on when a
stable version will be available, but rest easy that it is being worked on.
The build, which can be
"found here", has
instructions on how to install it if you did like. The process is very standard if you're well-versed in flashing ROMs. We are moving into the fourth year of the Nexus 5’s life, so it is pretty impressive it is making the jump to Android Oreo, especially this soon after the official release.
