As per subject, I'd like to upgrade for a quicker tablet than my n7 2012 for use with my bike turbo trainer...... but does the n9 have native ANT+ support?
Thanks in advance....
The info I gave on the Nexus Help Forum Google Group about the Nexus 6 applies to the Nexus 9 too:
There's 2 parts to this question:
1. Will Android 5.0 include the ANT+ API's?
If it does, then the Nexus 6 9 will definitely include the ANT+ hardware - as the Nexus devices showcase any new OS functionality. We haven't heard any news about this though, so I doubt it.
2. Will the Nexus 6 9 have ANT+ hardware?
If this is the case, then it should be possible to add the software piece in a custom ROM/AOSP build, just like was done for the Moto G 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/ant-moto-g-4g-maybe-t2875420
or possibly using the ANT+ Enabler app (if you want to pay for it) in the same way as the Nexus 5 and 10: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.z2software.antplus
Fingers crossed.

Looking at the iFixit Nexus 9 teardown, yes it does have ANT+ hardware (the Broadcom BCM4354)!
Note that the patch for the Moto G 4G mentioned above will not work, as that is for a Qualcomm chip.

There is a thread for this, but anyway the best phone i can recommend you to buy is the galaxy nexus due to the infinite support. optimus G or the nitro hd are also good options. do not buy the new htc's since they are being replaced every 1 month. Xperia products like the xperia t seem to be very good devices if you can get them but once again best phone for cm 10 is the galaxy nexus

Thanks, Nexus it is
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?

Yes, it looks terrible and won't let you view channels as the device isn't compatable..
Hi,
If you are using BLE can you please conform whether the tablet supports BLE?

In case you don't know...BLE has been officially supported by Android for awhile, but BLE is an inherent part of BT 4.0 and higher. This means by design the Nexus 9 (4.1 spec), as well as any device with BT 4 (or higher) has it. Although it might help you to know that Broadcom lists the component as supporting BLE.

Hi!
This is my first post here, so I do apologise if it is not in the correct place (I tried to do my best). I would like to know a list of devices under 150$ | 140€ | 100£ currently supporting Cyanogen Mod 12.1, I'm looking for devices with official support like the Motorola Moto G (2013) or discuss devices that could get it some day (Xiaomi Redmi 2??).
Thanks a lot!
You can use which device u want

Hi, I'm talking about devices with official support and stable enough to use it as a daily driver. I've got a Mi4 and it is working pretty well with it.
Looking into the Cyanogen website I've found these devices supporting CM12.1 and around the price I'm looking for, hope it will help!
Nexus 5
Nexus 4
Yu Yuphoria
Huawei SnapTo
Motorola Moto G (2013)
Motorola Moto X
Thanks
hello iwas just wondering if ther e could be abring up ofan android 10 port for nexus 9. as hte are other port bring up for ohte older devices and tablets. Jus twondering if its possible ornot.
Vartom had commented that there are driver issues with the Nexus 9 as it is and making it work fully with Android 8.1 is difficult as it is. It's likely it would be even more difficult to get things working with later versions without Treble
It would actually be fairly easy to build a recent AOSP for N9. In particular, the master branch of AOSP has some really cool pieces in place -- recent version of mesa3d, drm_hwcomposer, gralloc_gbm.... the only parts of the N9 that likely would create trouble would be the cameras. But you can't really use the cameras on a tablet anyway because you look like a moron doing so.
Note that Treble is NOT a requirement for building AOSP for N9. Previous poster is confused because its a requirement for devices that FIRST SHIP WITH certain versions of Android, in order to qualify for inclusion of google blobs. This requirement does not apply at all to N9 for THREE reasons;
1) No need for certification because you aren't trying to sell it.
2) N9 first shipped with Android 5.
3) Nothing applies to custom firmware.
Or now Android 11 for Nexus 9 ???!!!!
