Any of you Nexus users installed it yet? Hopefully the Motos get the update and a root is found soon.

On Chroma at the moment. I'll probably just wait until I can install the factory image from Wug's NRT.

I just signed up for the Android Beta Program and they pushed the update to my phone immediately.

I'm running Nougat now. Split screen is nice and easy to use. The reworked notifications are pretty nice. That's about all I've had time to play with so far.

Cool. Apparently there are some new gesture menus too. Let us know how those work.

I put Nougat on my N6. I like the notifications and the easier access to the wifi and flashlight buttons. I don't know how much I'll use the double-tap to switch between screens nor the double multitasking, but good to know it's there.

Another Nougat benefit: my snapchat was useless a while back after an update, inundated with lag. But its good again

Sideloaded it on my nexus 5x a few days ago. Notifications are def better. Split screen is cool. Unfortunately it doesn't work with pogo and probably never will, but that would be a developer decision and with Niantic I'm not holding my breath. Anyway, I actually quite like the double tap previous app. Seems like a no brainer. Overall it doesn't seem to be a huge change but a very nice refinement. Haven't used it long enough to comment on battery life

I thought the same thing and now find myself using it constantly.

If I'm reading something and get a text/email, I can pop over, respond, and then pop immediately back over to what I was reading. It's not ground breaking but its a nice new feature.

I have that feature in Pure Nexus. It's a hold the recent button and it'll switch like that.
