FYI: AICP build servers cranked out a new version today. 5/20 is now up.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] octagonPerfectionist:
so i think i may have hardbricked my tablet after flashing this ROM - not sure if it's the ROM's fault or my own, but basically the data partition seems to be corrupted and it can't be formatted via twrp or fastboot. the tablet was encrypted and i tried flashing aicp from my stock 5.1.1 build, wiping everything but user data - apparently this was a bad idea since when the tablet booted into AICP it came up with a screen to type in my password, but no matter what i typed in it would say "unfortunately, settings has stopped" and would stay on that screen.

so, is this a problem anyone else has had before? and am i safe in saying my nexus 9 is toast?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] USBhost:
Twrp version?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] cr0wnest:
Just flashed the BL/Vendor from the official 5.1.1 factory image and I'm seeing positive results as well on the 8th May SaberMod build. However I now get the "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." error whenever I boot up, and im aware this is caused by using the wrong vendor img with the ROM. Is there a way I can fix this without having to full wipe? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 9 Android Development] slebit:
Update your ROM to a newer version. Or wait for a new sabermod version.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] cr0wnest:
That's what I thought.. I will wait then, hope the next one comes out soon.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] albsat:
You are scaring me man..
[Nexus 9 Android Development] AllanJacques:
Try flashing stock google image, everything in it, and it should set things right...

I actually don't think your N9 is toast, at least not in the software department.

Hardware-wise is another beast, if your data partition has a faulty hardware it can't be solved in any way.

These issues happen but can be solved getting back to square one, when in doubt, back to basics, that's what Michael Jordan's coach taught him and it worked for most of my life.

The only software related problem that I have seen bricking N9 is when you lock the bootloader using a custom rom and untick the "oem unlock" button under development settings, wich is clearly not the case, or is it?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] octagonPerfectionist:
actually, i managed to fix it - i had totally missed the "format data" function in TWRP and hadn't used that before. but that fixed the problems i had with the data partition. i guess the lesson learned from this is that you have to totally wipe every partition if the device is encrypted before flashing another rom haha. thanks though!
[Nexus 9 Android Development] tyvar1:
New build is up :D
[Nexus 9 Android Development] DanHidalgo:
I have downloaded the Factory image, but how do i flash just the vendor and bootloader as they said before?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] USBhost:
Extract them
[Nexus 9 Android Development] DanHidalgo:
Ok, now I see the boot.img and the vendor.img, what do i do with them?

Couldn't I just backup my actual state rom, flash the whole image and then restore it?

EDIT: I flashed them via fastboot but now it stays at AICP bootanimation and doesn't pass through it.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] USBhost:
That's just more work

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sillyphillie:
I love this ROM but at this point it's driving me nuts... Everytime I accept an OTA update my Gapps are corrupted on the way up. I have tried several different Gapps packages (including the recommended ones in this thread) and it still happens. I have to do a fresh install of AICP and Gapps after every update. What is going on? Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong? I have been flashing for years on 100's of devices and have never seen this.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Do you flash gapps after you flash the rom in a dirty flash?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] oediv:
i know the op says wifi only but will this work on a lte version also ? (not supported or anything like that?)
[Nexus 9 Android Development] USBhost:
Some say it works

So try it out
[Nexus 9 Android Development] oediv:
i tried it and it works .. thanks :)
[Nexus 9 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
I seem to be having a similar issues. At first it was my mistake and forgot to flash gapps. However I wiped caches and installed the latest ota then flashed the gapps and all appears to work except the play store. I am now rewiping caches and system and flashing and lets hope that works. If not Or guess I will have to full wipe. :(

UPDATE: nope still issues. I guess I will have to full wipe.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Martin_Devil:
I ran into this problem in the flo and flounder. I restored a backup To Backup. Everything was good, but after a reboot I see Lock screen, and the tablet was again restarted. Then Android Update. Then I see again LockScreen, Reboot, Android Update, and so all the time. On the other roms okay!
[Nexus 9 Android Development] BeerChameleon:
Any one when casting the screen to chromecast have a bug if you turn off the screen it goes haywire? I was watching a video in chrome on my chromecast screen cast and I turned off the screen and then the screen just blinks uncontrollable and have to reboot. Maybe a bug? I am on the latest build with the recommended gapps.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Marky__Mark:
Is ambient display an option in this ROM? I can't find it.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] AllanJacques:
I had the same issue, it was solved when I used another gaps version, the generic one found on generic android hacking subforum.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] cr0wnest:
I did a full wipe and flashed the latest build, non-Sabermod this time, and whoa what a world of difference! The entire UI suddenly feels fast and fluid, chrome beta no longer lags beyond hope when loading pages but it still has a lot of stutters for some reason though. And the battery life is epic above all. The stock kernel finally works, no more panic reboot when doing a shut down. I guess the sabermod builds were a lot more unstable than I initially thought.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sparksco:
Interesting. On other devices people normally report the opposite.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Maybe try a more recent sabermod build such as today's build. Maybe that will help?

Full wipe is highly recommended between stock aicp and sabermod aicp and vice versa.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Marky__Mark:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it won't matter if I'm using the official or sabermod if I'm using a custom kernel. Correct?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] spotmark:
Anyone know where to locate the 47Z vendor. IMG? Would really like to get rid of the internal error message on the latest saber build.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Marky__Mark:
Use the one posted in the DU thread.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] 5150jpd:
Same here had to go back to a nandroid tried again same problem. . Tried another ROM same thing... Hmmm..
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Martin_Devil:
On CyanogenMod 12.1 my Nexus 7 2013 and this tablet good work, Titanium Backup good work too
[Nexus 9 Android Development] 530farm:
Where are the recent Sabermod builds located? The link in the OP's most recent is form april.

Thanks
[Nexus 9 Android Development] spotmark:
They're out of order. Go down the list and you'll see newer ones. There's already a build up for today.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] 530farm:
Thank you! Have you had experience w/ the Sabermod version? Does it work well?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] spotmark:
Just installed it this weekend. It's pretty sweet. Gonna flash today's build when I get home.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Does it feel faster than the official AICP builds?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] spotmark:
It could be all in my head, but I think so.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] 530farm:
Feels a bit better for me as well. Any reason for the 510mhz min cpu? I do get this error on reboots *"There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details."*any idea how to fix it? First time I've seen it and I have flashed all the 5.1.1 imgs
[Nexus 9 Android Development] AllanJacques:
You have to flash specifically vendor partition
[Nexus 9 Android Development] 530farm:
I originally flashed the vendor.img and never had this issue. I just reflashed vendor.img and after reboot same thing. I just flashed it over the current state of the rom, is there any specific steps and does it even have an effect beyond the dialog box?

THanks

Trouble reverting from M preview back to AICP...

Bootloader shows unlocked as I was worried I screwed it up when flashing the M image (dumb move trying something other than AICP.) I wiped everything clean, tried installing 6022015 sabermod. Tablet won't get past white google logo with black background. Just sits there and I don't see the lock at the bottom I usually see. Won't even cycle, just sits.

Been flashing consistently every week since November and actually need some help as I am traveling and don't have access to a windows PC w/ adb to flash another factory image. All I have is my 6, 9, and Chromebook.

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
That maybe be a porblem with either your partitions or kernel. Did you verify the AICP zip? Only other idea I can think of is to try the Fire-Ice kernel.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Headless96:
Did the exact same thing, tried Fire Ice as suggested above but only way I got it working was flashing the bootloader from an older factory image, not sure you can do it without downgrading the bootloader
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sbollero:
This sounds logical. Glad I didn't brick it. I'm sure that's the issue as I've tried several different ROM zips at this point from a completely clean slate.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] phillysmako:
Hey guys I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but on a clean flash of the sabermod 6-02 build and the latest non sabermod build with the 64 bit full gapps package I cannot get passed the setup wizard it says Google play services has force closed even when I skip the whole setup wizard and try to log in manually it force closes the play services and I can't use the play store or anything like that. I've tried different roms and I get the same thing anybody have any idea why?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] oRAirwolf:
Is there any chance of getting TRDS (The Real Dark Slim) feature or something similar to it baked into this ROM? I love this ROM on my N5, N6, and N9, but I really yearn for a dark ROM feature to save battery life.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Have you tried the built in CyanogenMod theme manager?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sparksco:
I think there's a patch for this on SaberMod gitlab.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] oRAirwolf:
Sorry, I should have looked into this. I have never used the theme manager before, but this is exactly what I needed. Thanks a bunch!
[Nexus 9 Android Development] AllanJacques:
Could you point the way?

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sn2hotty:
Here's what I ended up doing: After Googling the problem with Google Play Services, all search hits pointed to "download the latest Gapps available". The one I had was from 5/22, and that one was not working for me. BUT, I found this one, https://github.com/cgapps/vendor_google/tree/builds/arm64, and flashed it when I flashed the 6/9 nightly. I think this one is a minimal Gapps. When I rebooted and the boot finished, The Play Store was present, but Google Play Services kept crashing. However, unlike before, I was also prompted to update Google Play Services, which I did, somehow, between Play Services crashes. Once Google Play Services updated, everything was fine. I also rebooted to play it safe. All good now.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] lilliput222:
can u plz tell me exactly what version of Rom and Kernel you are using .. :):)
[Nexus 9 Android Development] oRAirwolf:
I am running the AICP 6/9/15 nightly, non-saber mod, with the stock kernel.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Voje:
I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I have tried to search.

Is there any way to enable fast charge, or do I have to flash a modded kernel?

Plus, can anyone tell me what the pros of this sabermod builds are? Should I flash this instead of the regular builds?

Sent fra min Nexus 9 via Tapatalk
[Nexus 9 Android Development] USBhost:
custom kernel
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Voje:
Ty - my mind deleted the word custom there :)

Are you able to answer my second - edited in - question as well?

And, do you know the reason why fast charge isn't in the roms kernel, is it to keep it clean? Seems like a must have kernel feature in my mind.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] USBhost:
the SM build has more optimizations than the official ones.

because most custom ROMs uses the stock kernel to be more stable

Hi

I am on the latest build. With an Lte device

Everytime i want to Pull the notification drawer down, the "User Option" open then i cant Pull den the drawer or cant use the Home Button ..Any fix for this?

Everytime on the First Pull down after this i need to restart the device
[Nexus 9 Android Development] J93:
Loving the ROM!

Strange issue and I've had to resort to the regular builds, With the SaberMod version the shutdown in the power menu didn't work.

It would simply restart the device, I don't think I did anything to cause this as the Regular build functions correctly with same setup (I dirty flashed the regular version from SaberMod version).

I started clean with SaberMod but dirty flashed the regular build due to power menu issue (If the above is a little confusing), No issues so far that I've noticed.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
What SaberMod build were you on? Were you using a custom kernel? Did reboot to bootloader work?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Krayvon:
LTE

anyone tried this on LTE tablet?

I tried with recommended gapps and banks gapps and could not get boot. let it sit on boot up anima for a good 10 min.

feedback would be great. thank you!
[Nexus 9 Android Development] J93:
I was on build 24/06/2015, Nope stock kernel that comes with it I just adjusted a few of the max frequency.

Yes If I rebooted into Bootloader, It would successfully turn off via that menu.

I will see If I can reproduce as it may of been my unit, I'm not sure but I'm getting it replaced due to the Back corner coming a little off the device anyway :eek:

[Nexus 9 Android Development] oRAirwolf:
I am not sure if it is placebo effect, but my battery life has been a lot better since installing the AICP 10 stable.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sparksco:
You do realize different roms will use the battery differently right? Let's talk about conditioning a battery for roms. Most people don't know what conditioning a battery for a rom means or how to do it. For example I noticed sabermod roms tend to like lower output chargers than what the normal standard is. I have two different chargers. The higher output one will of course charge my devices faster on the first charge after flashing the rom and heat up the battery more. But also will drain faster because of this. The other charger that has a lower output will take longer to charge on the first charge after flashing the rom.

So about conditioning the battery here is something you can try.

Make sure you have near 100% battery after flashing a rom. Let the battery get close to 0%. Around 5% should be good enough. When you charge it charge it on a low output charger. If you don't have one you can also charge via USB but this can be a hassle to do all the time which is why I charge on my lower output charger. Charge it to 100%. You may have to do this more than once to condition the battery. After two full charging cycles you should notice improved battery life and it should charge faster than the first or second times.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] oRAirwolf:
I have been running AICP for a while on my N9. I just noticed a marked increase in battery life going from the AICP 9.0 nightlies over to AICP 10 stable. Either way, I love this ROM.

Sweep to sleep is currently not a feature in the stock kernel that aicp uses for flounder. If you flash another kernel the has sweep to sleep, it should work.

Can't you just include the kernel by default?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
Its the cm ramdisk that's currently causing boot issues, so changing the kernel source will not help. To fix the problem right now. I would have to fork system_core to AICP to merge a change.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] sparksco:
Don't you mean device tree for flounder? I'd assume that's where all the "flounder" ramdisk changes are at.
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
No, the ramdisk is also added/modified from system_core.

Ah ok... I figured cm would have supported flounder by now. We're almost in the 4th quarter of the year and they still don't have a booting rom? :/
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
No, the "boot issue" is that the device will hang at the bootloader (google logo) for around 5-6 minutes before hitting the boot animation. This issue was caused by a commit in system_core.

I have flashed the kernel after using the Rom without a following wipe.

[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
A full wipe should fix your performance issues.

After you flash the rom, try flashing this (to get rid of the pop up when you start up your device)
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Cruzius:
Thx for your help!

But shouldn't I flash the stable version instead of a nightly because the nightly is only for developers?
[Nexus 9 Android Development] Hashbang173:
