Android O name expected on August 21

[Pink Jazz]

According to official reports, Google is expected to announce the Android O name on August 21, the day of the solar eclipse. I think this pretty much confirms that the name is Oreo, despite source code leaks in June with references to "oc" (hinting at "Oatmeal Cookie"). In addition, last month there were images of a black octopus with a horizontal white mouth and a dark blue background (the color scheme of Oreo).

Textra also in its settings for emoji referred to it as Android Oreo. Either way, I expect it to see it next year on my S8

I wonder what will be the fan favorite name for Android P. Brand names seem to be popular with fans, as Nutella was the fan favorite for Android N (I'm guessing Google failed to reach a licensing agreement with Ferrero). Perhaps the fan favorite for Android P could be Pepsi?

I personally though prefer Pink Lemonade.

I can't see them naming it Pepsi...it's typically a tasty treat

I don't see pepsi or pink lemonade fitting in with the theme of desserts

More like: peanut butter cup, parfait, etc...

Note the name "Orangina" has been thrown around for Android O.

Okay... a lot of names have been "thrown around" for each and every release so I'm not sure what your point is.

Didn't think they'd get another licensed name (like KitKat) but they did

Oatmeal cookies are nasty, so I'm glad things didnt turn in that direction.

Just got the update on my Nexus 6P, quite a bit different and trying to figure things out.

Don't think I've gotten that notification before. So far, some good and some bad. The notification screen works more smoothly. But I used to be able to view my storage and clear my cache to gain back disk space but I don't see where I can do that anymore.

if you use an app like twilight or glasswire its always there and annoying as F

Has anyone been able to get the final version of the OTA to show up with a T-Mobile Nexus 6p? I keep getting the beta and it looks like there is no factory image for TMobile as well?
