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.
I have my own preference but i want to go beyond my preference, so which do you think is better?
Both are great, but I will go with the 5x since it has better custom ROM support

redmi note 3 has better specs but 5x has a good development base and many custom roms
Redmi note 3 is good in Specs. But Honor 5X is durable than Note 3.
In terms of after sales support Honor outcomes Redmi. So I would prefer Honor 5X.
definitely Honor 5X. good after sales support, better custom ROMs and an evolving community with regular updates and support.

Yes, I wouldn't buy a phone if it doesn't have community support, no matter how good it is
Also Honor 5X outwits Redmi note 3 in terms of camera quality and Dual SIM compatibility.
So Honor 5X is good.
i feel that honor 5x's build quality is a bit more premium,
redmi note 3 has a better development and custom rom support thnan honor 5x, (even got cm14)
so its based on your priority.. if you want better custom rom, deffinitely go for redmi note 3

Development is the area where Honor lags behind other brands.
I respect Honor-5x, its premium build quality. Now we have got so many roms for the device. A dedicated forum for Honor-5x in XDA and on CLUB.HIHONOR.COM is itself an achievement.
But for Note-3, Performance of Stock Rom MIUI as compared to Stock EMUI is uncomparable. Redmi Note-3 is a beast. Note-3 has a dedicated forum on MIUI site and as well as on XDA. So Support of Note-3 is undoubtedly good. Moreover Nougat series Custom Roms for Note-3 are out.
everything is good with honor 5x , except the development is COMPARITIVELY LESS, which is not a problem though
but with honor , we are guarenteed for the os updates, where mi makes no such promisses, though mi provides weekly updates,they are just security patches and bug fixes, even though they provide an os update, it will be very late..

I think the order of Nougat will be Honor 8, then 7 and then 5X. 5C after that.
Development is just a matter of time and the number of developers. Redmi Note 3 has more developers that's why they are ahead.

How long will this get major Android updates for? How much longer for security updates? I feel like the answer to this is maybe a year and no more at all. Did this launch with 9 and get 10?
Would you recommend this vs Samsung S20 FE (g8x 439 CAD vs S20fe $650)
Thx

It was launched on Android 9 and already received Android 10 and will get Android 11 for sure.
Drawback is LG hasn't allowed unlocking bootloader yet so no custom rom support as of now. May be in future it will get.

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.
Can anyone tell me which of the two devices has more custom Roms? Or are they about the same?
Don't even think about the Nexus 5X, which is notorious for its "Bootloop of Death."
