Re: Moving to Android 6 base

 

>From my understanding, unless this has changed, certain existing phones
will never move to Android 6 or even Android 5 (mako for example). There
are newer phones that will require Android 6 and those will be the ones to
support it. We have back ported something from Android 6 though, such as
the Android 6 linker to Android 5.
