Hi I can't find a thread stating the differences between the official SE upgrades? Most phones have a thread like that and it's pretty useful.
I recently moved from .377 to .42 and it had a number of new features, I'll try to remember them all:
- new SE 3D camera and 3D gallery
-more facebook integration
- new apps, McAfee security, Sony Xcusiv, Xperia HotShots
- some other minor features

I'm not a noob, but I am confused about something that I think should be simple:
Monthly Android Security Updates
I apparently have to install these manually, since OTA updates fail supposedly because I run a rooted phone w/ custom bootloader/recovery.
Google has been making it a point to release security patches every month:
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/index.html
March 2016's is here:
http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-03-01.html
On that page they say:
"The Nexus firmware images have also been released to the Google Developer site.", with a link to:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I download firmware for my Nexus5 Hammerhead MMB29K:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/hammerhead-mmb29k-factory-1943f0f5.tgz
I unzip that file and list the contents:

So, my question is:
Why does Google say that the March 2016 Security Updates Nexus devices are available for download, but the files themselves are dated November 2015?
This begs more questions:
Are the March 2016 Android Security Patch Levels really in the 6.0.1 November 2015 dated files?
If not, then why does Google say that I can get the March 2016 updates for my Nexus 5 from the firmware download page?
How do I non-OTA update my Nexus5 to the latest Security Patch?
Thanks!

Ping! Seriously, no one bites on this one?
I'll answer my own question: The answer is even lamer than I thought.
The download link that the monthly security bulletin(s) point you to is a download to the original [aka: "old"] system image.
As I pointed out, the March [now April] 2016 link for a recent Security Update for my Nexus 5 sends me to the download for the November Nexus 5 System Image.
I install that image, and soon after booting it prompts me to install the January 2016 Security Update.
Here is where it gets lame...
Soon after rebooting after the January 2016 SU it prompts me to install the February 2016 SU.
Soon after rebooting after the February 2016 SU it prompts me to install the March 2016 SU.
Soon after rebooting after the March 2016 SU it prompts me to install the April 2016 SU.
I'm seeing a [lame] pattern here.
How annoying!
Can't they just update the system image w/ the latest Security Update?
Or, provide me with a SU with all of the previous SUs?
I repeat: Lame!
