You don't need SuperSU 2.6x to flash ElementalX 3.07 on the N6. flar2 already clarified that in the ElementalX thread. I was able to get ElementalX to flash and work with Chroma 12-07-2015 with the built-in Super 2.52.

That's Google's move away from open source. They can't close-source an existing AOSP app, so they keep it available but stop developing it, and create a closed-source version. That shows Google's attitude towards open source, and honestly, I dislike it. Oh well.

Blame Manufactures and OEMs. Google is hit hard about security updates all the time. Splitting the apps off allows them to push updates to all phones. GMS was created to add features to phones that were not on the newest software as well. It's the state we live in -- (sadly) might as well get used to it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daihard:
They can split off the apps and push them to all devices via the Play store without making them closed-source, can't they? Alternatively, they could make the new features available equally to the Play store and AOSP versions. :)

Well what happened is, i had Benzo gapps and so i factory reset and installed the new dynamic gapps with the newest version of chroma rom, and my device just keep lagging non stop.

And well i just got the knowledge that factory reset doesn't wipe gapps, and so it seems as if the old gapps are interrupting with the new ones.

How do i fix it without clean wipe? can i actualy someone wipe the gapps without wiping the whole device?

Well im going to now fully wipe everything on the phone, What do i install first, the Shamu 7/12/2015 chroma build or the mmb29k files through fastboot?

Also, how do i flash with fast boot? do i need to be connected to pc and use a program? sorry for noobish question i realy don't remember, cheers!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daihard:
If you want to flash the two files included in the mmb29k zip, you will want to do so with fastboot, before flashing Chroma 12-07-2015. It means your phone needs to be connected to a computer that has fastboot installed. If you had 6.0-based Chroma before and it was working, I wouldn't worry about flashing those two files for now.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

Chroma 12-07-2015 comes with the stock kernel, which doesn't have the DT2W feature built-in. If you need that feature, you can install a 6.0.1-based custom kernel that's capable of doing it. I have ElementalX 3.07. DT2W works well fr me. I believe hellsCore b12-M has the feature as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProRules:
Thank you so much for the reply!

So as i understand, i clean wipe the whole phone, go to fastboot, flash mmb29k, then go to recovery, flash the rom itself.

Hey guys,

I finally updated to Marshmallow! Everything seems ok so far except for one small thing: the power menu isn't themed. I use Inversion UI and it just stays white. I know it was dark on Lollipop though.

I'm pretty sure I selected the same layers (I don't theme apps, just system) as I did on Lollipop but can someone remind me which layer is applied to the power menu please? Thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

I would suggest to uncheck the options in the Windows display settings that says "Hide extensions for known file types" so both your bootloader & radio files have the .img in the end.

I don't know what you're using to flash these but I used the command line tool included in WugFresh Nexut toolkit. It worked like a charm!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpgolfpro:
I have a couple questions, hopefully someone can chime in and help me with.

1. Has anyone made a flashable version of the latest radio for Chroma? I know before you had to flash via fastboot. Can you use TWRP yet?

2. Is there a kernel manager compatible with the latest version? The old hellscore kernel manager wouldn't work once I updated to the latest version of Chroma. I'm only trying to adjust the RGB values for the screen.

3. I'm using layers along with the TimberWolf layer. Sometimes I am unable to read some things due to the layer. For example, whenever I open a file and it asks me which app I would like to use to open the file, the text is unreadable due to it being the same color as the background. Also sometimes notifications will pop up and it will also be unreadable. Anyone experienced this? Know how to fix it?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daihard:
I believe this is an issue specific to Chroma. I had the same problem with the latest Chroma (12-10-2015) using InversionUI. I'm on a different ROM now, where InversionUI properly themes its power menu.

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Chroma based on 6.0.1 comes with a (modified) stock kernel, not hellsCore. If you want to tweak the RGB values like before, you will need to flash a custom kernel. FYI hellsCore b12-M worked very well for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swamp2:
Some additional tips are probably useful. Some of these got me. The GUI is really poor, way too many options and very easy to bootloop. That is by definition a poor GUI IMHO... Not sure if that is a Magpie specific or Layers in general criticism.

Don't flash the dialer and contacts in the "For STOCK ROM" section.

To get something like the old TimberWolf layer (this is the updated/maintained version of that) choose BaseDark or Dark when those options are available.

Too many frameworks checked/installed will bootloop so:

A) Under the first General section I disabled all of the "TheColors" Frameworks

B) In the second Style Specific section I chose only the FRAMEWORK for Marshmallow.

Power menus can't yet be dark themed on ROMs that support day/night options as Chroma does. From Magpie dev - "Power Menu can't be dark themed until commits are merge. Branden is working on it."

If you bootloop and need to remove .apks make sure TWRP mounts the system (otherwise you can navigate to the right directory).

You might be able to add more customization than this, but this should be a good base and supplement to the Google+ link. Correct me as required - I clearly don't understand all of the subtlety/control/language of Layers. Hope it is still helpful.

I never done that, just flash the kernel over. If you want to change from custom kernel to another custom kernel, make sure you dirty flash the rom first so you get back the stock kernel, and then you can flash the custom kernel

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daihard:
Chroma comes with SuperSU 2.52. If you wish to install SuperSU 2.6x, then you will need to flash UPDATE-unSU.zip he provided to uninstall 2.52 first. You wil not need to flash Chainfire's modified boot image.

Exactly. That's the method zephiK recommended when he first introduced SuperSU 2.60 with Chroma. In case you don't have the unSU.zip, you will be able to download it from here.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3528363&d=1446472307

If you can afford to, I would recommend that you perform a clean flash. That is, wipe everything but the internal storage using the "Advanced Wipe" feature in TWRP, flash Chroma, flash unSU.zip, and finally flash SuperSU 2.6x.

One thing to note, though. There's currently no incentive to install systemless root on the Nexus 6 as Android Pay still won't work with Chroma. Just FYI.
