Install Android 6.0.1 MMB29K Marshmallow Factory Image on Nexus 7 2013

Android 6.0.1 finally goes official with some bug fixes and security patches compared to the previous version of Marshmallow. This time, the Marshmallow update comes in form of MMB29K build and it’s made available for Nexus devices which include the Nexus 7 2013.


The Android 6.0.1 being made official features cool Emoji with up to 200 Unicode 8 emojis for this new build and more is expected after build is being updated. Security patches and most especially, improved navigation bars on tablet is included in the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update. This time, the “Overview” buttons is placed at the right while the “Back” and “Home” buttons are placed towards the left.

If you can also recall the “Do not disturb” features that was integrated on Android 5.1 Lollipop, you’ll notice that the feature was omitted from Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Now the Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow update features the Do not Disturb features via “Until Next time” options.
