GAPPS

Newbie type question

Is the idea with GAPPS like TK is to only update when they are updated? Meaning don't update them when Play Store says there is an update but wait for the developer to update the GAPPS and update then?

New build...

When I seen you started using a modified Hellscore Kernel it made me happy beyond belief. I always flash Hells Kernel for any ROM, best performance and battery you can get. NOW this ROM is totally perfect. Never got good battery life with the Franco Kernel unfortunately. Thanks for the change, it's perfect.

I do not select full or stock but I do get some. So that's why I asked question can conflicts occur when doing apps by Task - and Google does updates? Or do one or other and not both.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
Well, I just flashed the newest build today, and I'm kind of hoping the new kernel might resolve the issue I'm having. I'm still running into the issue where my phone will not charge while it's turned off. If my understanding is correct, I believe something like that would normally be a kernel issue? So maybe with this new kernel, I'll no longer have that problem? I dunno, but it's starting to get kind of annoying, because it seems to be occurring more and more.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueren:
I'd say flash gapps once. Unnecessary flashing could lead to trouble. There is no proof for it, just a thought.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flamus:
You can try and different kernel easy enough; though, seems to be limited to your phone. I am on the latest build and can charge just fine.

GApps are stored in the system directory, while most up dates are actually stored in the user data directory. As noted before, you only need to flash them once (during a clean flash) then you can get the updates from the Play Store.

You shouldn't need to reflash them unless you had an issue (such with the camera libs or something) but that would need to be asked in the thread for the GApps.

I usually flashed updated GApps when I clean flash. No need to be a flash alcoholic about them.

There is a difference between Gapps and Play Services. If your Gapps works no need to update on any regular basis as about everything is available in store. If your individual apps say that an update is available, go ahead and update. If Play Services says there is an update, there may not necessarily be an urge to update. Folks have had some issues. Play services will eventually update on its own.

Even in dirty flashing, there is no need to flash Gapps again, that's where issues can happen.

Clean flash of the latest build, I've tried three different radios, 95r, and both the M preview. I've tried with gapps and without gapps but I can not get WIFI calling to work.

I'm on T-Mobile and have had it working on older builds but it just won't kick-in on the latest build no matter what I do...

I was poking around in kernel adiutor and noticed that core 4 is unchecked by default (latest chroma with default kernel which is trhink is hellscore based). Is that intentional? I checked it (because why not) and am going to see if there are any significant changes in performance/battery life but I was wondering if it was set that way for a reason or if maybe I accidentally changed it myself at some point.

Most of the day my battery temperature was 39C I barely used it, really just very little since I was working,just a few messages ( about 6), I rebooted 2 times, after a while the temperature dropped on its own. Not sure what caused it. Will try it again for a few more days, was thinking of trying Elemetal X but not sure since I always run the rom how it come stock. Thanks a lot for all the time and work you spent!

Download the stock factory image, extract the files and flash boot.img and the radio. You might be able to just flash the boot file. I flashed both for the hell of it and my WiFi calling started working immediately.

T-Mobile Users

Which radio are you guys using? The latest one that came with Chroma, LVY48C, seems to be working fine. After flashing the latest T-Mobile, LYZ48E, I don't really see a difference.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajones19:
Radios do not come with the ROM. Radios must be flashed separately.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captemo:
I couldn't say that is entirely true. I am by all means no expert, but I have not always flashed a radio with ROM. Just like the kernel, I always use what is included for a few days before looking at possible alternates. The ROM needs a radio to work, correct?

Every ROM I ever flashed worked right out of the box, so therefore had a radio??? No?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajones19:
Gawd, I must be getting modem confused with bootloader. I need coffee.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bp328i:
Nope, ROMs do not include radios. Your radio does not change just because you flash a new ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

Are you on Chroma? Because when I tried this once booted I received a system ui force close that would not go away.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrw1215:
*Sigh* Well, for whatever reason, my phone still will not charge while powered off. It's bizarre, because when I powered my phone on this morning (while still plugged in), the battery had the lightning bolt icon inside, to indicate it's charging, but the percentage has not gone up at all, and when I go into the battery details, it says that it is not currently charging. I unplugged the cable and immediately plugged it back in, and then it recognized that it was plugged in.

Has no one else run into this problem? This is so bizarre to me, and I can't understand why I'm suddenly having this issue.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captemo:
OK, as I already admitted, I am not the expert. Nor am I trying to start something. Maybe this can be a learning experience.

I have updated my radio on past occasions, but I have never flashed an additional radio when I do that very first flash with a new device. Therefore would that ROM not be including a radio?

Again, just like a kernal, I can upgrade that. But the ROM comes with a kernal?

Though I do see some validity to what you say.... I have upgraded my radio to the 2nd M radio, but when I flash a new or different ROM, the radio has not been reverting back to 98r.

Where the kernal would change to whatever kernal is packaged with.

There would have to be something I am missing???

Which is very possible, but I am not entirely without experience in the flashing world though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bp328i:
Nope, you were correct in saying "Radios do not come with the ROM. Radios must be flashed separately."

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

I am by no way trying to start anything either...not at all just giving some information.

Radios are independent from the operating system (ROM) you can flash any ROM made for the Nexus 6 and your radio will never change. When you wipe your phone in recovery for a new ROM to be flashed it does not touch the radio.

Kernel's are like the foundation for a building. The kernel is what lets the operating system (ROM) communicate with the hardware so those are included with ROMs.

Nevermind. Yet another reboot seems to have fixed what I was asking about.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farangutan:
My car broke down this morning, so I made a bunch of calls. Every call worked as intended with screen dimming and coming back on when not up to my ear. I have had your problem though before with a slightly different setup. I used Franco kernel app, and wake gestures app and I had the slow to wake screen as well as the phone call screen issues. I now use the included hells kernel and instead of wake gestures I use kernel aduitor for the double tap to wake function. I don't know if that combination change is what fixed it for me but give it a shot.

I updated to the latest version, coming from a previous version, but now I can't hear anything when making a call. It connects to the other person, but no sound on my end from the ear piece or the speaker phone. Any ideas?

After a bit of searching, might be a VoLTE issue, whatever it was, it fixed itself after 2-3 reboots.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajones19:
What you describe above is exactly what I have now - and what was producing the problem. Clean flash, stock Hells kernel, no Wake Gestures. Whatever it was, it's gone now, and working fine. I was blaming Kernel Aduitor, but no issues now. None of these are deal-breakers, anyway - just little annoying inconsistencies which poke at my little bit of OCD. In a lot of years of flashing different ROMS on different devices, this one is far and away the smoothest and most stable.

What kernel app does Zephik recommend to turn on DT2W with the new Hellscore?

RE: WiFi Calling. Ever since wifi calling was added to Chroma, I haven't been able to get it to work, on every ROM update since. I'm on T-Mobile in the USA, clean install after wiping, on the 95 and/or M radios, included kernels, even trying not to install any apps, with an absolutely clean install... no wifi calling. I've set it to "WiFi calling preferred" and confirmed my E911 address. I'm beginning to wonder if it is related to my SIM card (which I got from the local T-Mobile store when I first got the Nexus 6). Do you think this might be the problem?

Hi I was searching for my problem but can't seem to find it. I flashed chroma today after trying a new rom I came back. But I noticed my enhanced lte was not on. So I went to enable it but it wont let me toggle it on in the hidden settings menu. I'm on 5.1 firmware so I'm confused why it wont just toggle on as it did last time I used chroma.

If you flash the stock kernel from those images you might force encryption. It is "boot.img"

In my experience flashing bootloader and radio from the stock files doesn't force encryption.

I was having the same problem after flashing the 7-19 build. I finally got it working simply by toggling wifi calling preferred on and off a few times before and after rebooting.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
14r.

I'll try again when I get home from work. It may have been my weird DNS configuration.

UPDATE:

So I went into recovery, cleared all caches, reflashed the radio, and when I rebooted... I had Wi-Fi calling but I kept getting Google Play services errors. "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" so nothing worked right. I realized I forgot to dump the layer so I killed the layers, dirty flashed the ROM, and that caused me to lose Wi-Fi calling and the layer, but I still had the play services errors.

I am re-downloading the ROM, gapps, and radio, and I am just going to do a clean wipe and reflash. I suspect that will resolve the issues I am having.

UPDATE 2: So my Google errors were gone after doing the above, but no Wi-Fi calling. I have had it consistently until I wiped and flashed Chroma 7/19.

I booted to recovery, cleared caches, re-flashed the radio (14R), and after rebooting and waiting through "Chroma is starting..." (app optimizing or whatever)... Wi-Fi calling is back.
