What no skyGo

It looks like British TV network Sky is starting to catch up with the the pace of Android OS upgrades. Today it's launched a new version of its Sky Go mobile TV app, introducing support for 14 new devices along with Android versions 4.1-4.2.1 (Jelly Bean). Today's update brings Sky Go to a wider audience, after an update over the summer first opened it up to ICS phones.
From our own device history, we can confirm that Sky Go supports the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Galaxy S3 LTE, Galaxy Note 2, Sony Xperia T, LG Optimus 4X HD and Jelly Bean'd Galaxy Nexus, amongst others. Notable exceptions include the HTC One X+ and One S, which unfortunately remain unsupported.
Other changes in the new version of Sky Go for Android include improved navigation and various other UI changes.
so the Nexus 4 and 7 get it but no nexus 10 ?
surely this is some kind of cruel wind up?
I know this is a big joke, im new to the android platform and just purchased the Nexus 10 and Sky Go is the one thing lacking from it right now. So just to add salt to the wounds they update the app but dont make it compatible with Nexus 10. My take onit is just that there lazy!!
I think the Nexus 7 is the first Android tablet supported by Skygo so that is a milestone and the Nexus 10 is sure to follow.
Has anyone tried simply installing the apk?

[Q]Samsung Galaxy S5 or Motorola Nexus 6 or Suggest

Hello
I was a happy owner of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and I sold it yesterday but it was too big for my palm
Now I would like to buy a new phone and I cannot decide which one.
I am between Galaxy S5 and Nexus 6 and I cannot make up my mind.
To be honest I'm tired of Samsung Phones, I started with Samsung Galaxy S GT9000, then S2 then Galaxy Core then Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3 and I'm really tired of Samsung and I hate Knox which voids your warranty if you install a custom rom or you modify your system and the Samsung Bloatware
However the phones were masterpieces in terms of performance and the support of custom roms was magnificent and S5 would be at least that good.
I'm really excited with Nexus 6 because Nexus devices are known for their Clean Android experience, the instant updates and Nexus 6 will be a high end experience.
I would like your suggestions and help me decide which phone should I buy.
Also please, if you have any other phone to recommend, please do so, I would like to check it out
200% you can go for nexus6 ....
Samsung never gives update at proper time like nexus devices
For every android version Samsung plan new device and for pushing new device they delays updates for old one
But nexus is not like that within some days you will get update when gogle release new firmware
Custom ROM support for nexus devices is great compared to that of Samsung devices .....only thing that nexus devices will not have some advanced touch wiz features like note series has .....

I had a Samsung Galaxy S2 and Note 2 and I have the Nexus 5 since November, 2013.
I recommend you the Nexus 6 as your next device. Why? Because the price-quality ratio is awesome, no bloatwares, no Knox, the latest Android versions, the best UX I have ever seen and a wonderful XDA community

Who's getting a 2015 Nexus?

Okay, we all know our GS5 are not so mod-friendly (without voiding your warranty) and recent updates have crapped all over our experience... who here is going to jump on the new Nexus line?
I'm actually going for the iPhone 6s as my main device and hope on the Nexus 6 (2014) or the Nexus 5X next year for my birthday as my Android play toy.
Neither. Moto X Pure. Much better than N5X.
Moto x Pure is even bigger than the 5x....

Nexus 5 (stolen!)

General Question about PwnPhone

So I know it can be used on Nexus 5 phones and Nexus 7 Tablets(Atleast that's from what i've read). So my only question is since I can't seem to find anything on it. Can I turn any android phone/tablet into a PwnPhone/PwnTab or is it only on certain devices? Anytime I search all I get are results for the Nexus 7 Tablets and LG Nexus 5 phones.

GrapheneOS

Hello all, does any one have GrapheneOS for
Nexus 9 (flounder) ?
in their website says :
Code:
The following devices are no longer supported:
Pixel 2 XL (taimen)
Pixel 2 (walleye)
Pixel XL (marlin)
Pixel (sailfish)
Nexus 6P (angler)
Nexus 5X (bullhead)
Nexus 9 (flounder)
Nexus 5 (hammerhead)
Samsung Galaxy S4 (jflte)
So I hope some one can have it or maybe know where to get it from, i want to try it. Thank you in advance to all. Have a great weekend.
Nexus 9 was dropped from grapheneos after Android 7.1.1 all the way back in 2017. You can get at least Android 9 for Nexus 9, which even without grapheneos hardening, will be more secure.
