Will give it a go!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] demisb:
Suc6! Setting it all up right now, will report back later for my findings :D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] molohov:
This rom is fantastic. It works wonderfully on my opo as well. But Ive noticed that on the Nexus 9 there's usually a shortage of memory. Even on reboot the usage will reach 1.4gb quickly, and the result of course is lag. Attaching a few screenshots. Are others having this behavior too?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
[MENTION=3368575]molohov[/MENTION] -- Flounder just sucks at memory management. It is what it is. We can blame it on HTC for choosing Nvidia as their chipset partner for it.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Master05:
Despite of what you just said I still can't thank you enough for making this tablet usable in the end!

Keep it up
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
For all of you LTE users, I've decided to change my mind about supporting LTE. I'm feeling rather generous today.

You should see the update in the next weekly/official build.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Mehdi_Hp:
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Latest official build is now in the OP. Enjoy!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Pauls57:
Just clean flashed the new build, looks great so far
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] mrshades812:
Thanks for the update!

What Vendor.img should we be on? :good:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jalallen:
hi there

I am just wondering where to download the kernel. I clicked the link provided in the thread but I can't find which file to download. Could u provide a link to download the kernel? many thanks
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Kernel is included in the ROM.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] kernelbase:
Is it support read/write otg that is ntfs?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Google didn't release anything new for Flounder, so same vendor.img (MMB29V) is fine.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
No, there's no NTFS or exFAT support built into the kernel.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I'll see what I can do about adding it in at a later time though, [MENTION=1546032]kernelbase[/MENTION].
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] kacang87:
thank you sir NYCHitman1..so the latest build is support LTE..
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Yes, it has LTE support again.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] albsat:
Do you recommend dirty flashing or clean one?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I always recommend clean flashing to avoid issues.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jeoneun:
I received the android system message which mentioned the vendor image is out dated. I flashed the MMB29X vendor image. How to get rid of this message? Other than that, awesome rom :o
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Lar5:
The MMB29X vendor image fits the Nexus 9 with LTE.

MMB29V image is avalible for both versions of the Nexus 9.

Try MMB29V for your device (volantis or volantisg ? )

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Ignore the message. It doesn't mean anything.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jeoneun:
Noted.

Btw, tried and found "Ok Google" hotword not working when the screen is off.

When the screen is on, it's only working from homescreen and Google app. I flashed the latest Banks Gapps.

Gapps issues?

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Facing the same. Got your problem solved?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Gapps issue.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] catdog123:
Hi op,

CameraMX unfortunately crashes. I use the nexus to record my lectures in class. Stock recording apps only record for 20 mins before erroring out. CameraMX has no limitation in length. Doyou have any ideas?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] catdog123:
Appreciate the reply. Ty for enabling LTE support :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] JayDream:

I was too lazy to update so I waited till I wasn't. bro... This latest official... That's what's up. Appreciatcha [MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] and Co.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Are you using a theme? If so, there's your problem.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
So am I (obviously) and I don't have a problem.

Did you clean flash the build? Are you up to date with your vendor.img?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] hopscotchjunkie:
Latest weekly (DU_flounder_6.0.1_20160415-2349.v10.1-WEEKLIES.zip) gives an outdated/incorrect vendor image error with the MOB30D vendor.img

build.prop still shows

ro.build.description=flounder-user 6.0.1 MMB29V 2554798 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=google/volantis/flounder:6.0.1/MMB29V/2554798:user/release-keys

Should this have been updated by this change (merged a few days prior to build) http://gerrit.dirtyunicorns.com/#/c/28102 or is there something else responsible for the details in build.prop?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
For some unknown reason, the weeklies didn't properly sync.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] euqilobaid:
Just installed the ROM and there are several system apps (pre-installed) which are almost the same as the ones i install from the Play store. Is there a way to test which apps are safe to remove from the system via Dirty Tweaks => System App Remover?

I'm considering removing: Calendar, Email, Chromium, Gallery, Clock and Documents.

I'm using: Google Calendar, Gmail, Chrome, Pictures, Google Clock and Solid Explorer.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Don't remove Documents, but you can remove/freeze the rest.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] euqilobaid:
I have removed seven items with "System App Remover". Didn't write their exact names, but they were something like: Calendar, Calendar Widgets, DeskClock, Chromium, Email, DocumentsUI and Gallery. I've restarted the tablet and so far everything is working fine. I've made TWRP backup just in case i'll need to roll back the changes. So far the ROM is amazingly smooth and without any issue i was facing on another custom ROM which i was previously using on the Nexus 9.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You'll get FC's now when apps call for the DocumentUI view/layout, but it is what it is.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] euqilobaid:
Thanks for the heads-up. I reverted to my TWRP backup but for some reason (guess the tablet encryption which is on by default) i can't get past the lock screen. I'm stuck on lock screen prompt :o Though i'm 100% sure that i'm entering correct password it doesn't unlock. Ah well, guess i'll wipe everything and do a full clean setup :D

Love that warm g33ky feeling when i learn something new, but also hate the n00b thing in me which forces me to make all those stupid errors :D

I'll remove Calendar, Calendar Widgets, DeskClock, Chromium, Email and Gallery. I'll leave DocumentsUI intact.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Encryption isn't forced on DU. Did you decrypt your device?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] euqilobaid:
Nope, didn't decrypt the tablet. Guess i should have :o I'm rather new to Nexus 9 and i never used android encryption before. Guess the TWPR backup is rather useless with device encryption turned on :confused: I'm confused since the backup was created on the internal storage and it was accessible from TWPR just fine, but when i booted the tablet i couldn't get past the lock screen with the password and i'm 100% sure i was entering the proper one. I just don't get it :silly:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
That happens when you don't properly clean flash.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] euqilobaid:
What do you mean by "properly clean flash"? Before i restored the backup i wiped everything except internal storage.

I am confused since the backup was stored on the internal storage which was accessed by TWRP without any problems (although the device is encrypeted by defalut), but when i booted the device i could not get past the lock screen.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You can fix that via recovery, btw. If you go into system/data in TWRP (File Manager) > delete the file called locksettings.db.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jlokos:
This is a more general question. My device is decrypted. I always use a lockscreen pattern or pin. If I dirty flash an existing rom, or clean flash a new one (obviously), I have no issues with the lockscreen. However, if I restore a backup and then dirty flash, I always get the lockscreen error message and have to go into TWRP File Manager and delete the locksettings files. Is this a problem peculiar to Nexus 9? I don't have this issue with my Nexus 6. Thanks for your help and the great dirty builds.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It's a recovery issue. Doesn't have anything to do with the ROM itself.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jlokos:
Got it! Thanks very much.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] euqilobaid:
LOL, if i knew that yesterday i wouldn't have to go through a 1/2 a day new setup cycle for the tablet :D Ah well, stupidity and ignorance are a time waster :) Thank you for the help.

So if i use restore feature in TWRP i should:

1. wipe cache, dalvik and system

2. restore system

3. delete the file

4. enjoy the ROM

? :)

This will only fix the lock screen issue, but it won't decrypt the tablet? This works with encrypted tablet?

Sorry for the flood of questions, but i want to make sure i understand things right so i don't act as a n00b again :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Doing what I aforementioned, it just removes the current lockscreen settings. You can re-enable it within the ROM, if you desire.

To decrypt, you will need to wipe the data partition in TWRP. If you click on "Wipe" -- you will see the option to "WIPE DATA" which will provide further instructions. Keep in mind that decrypting does wipe your entire storage.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] albsat:
Just asking here because I use Dirty. I have a hosts file that I putted manually in etc. However it gets reset in a very small file after some days. So strange...
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] ExDeus00:
I keep getting error>> Unfortunately, Google Play Service has stopped.

Anyone know how to solve this?

I try to find solution online but just cant work it out :(

things that I tried:

flash stable build, weekies build

try different gapps(banks, Theme Ready, TBO,open gaaps nano)

factory reset after DU boot up

clear cache and reset data

update google play
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] glockman4519:
Are you on the correct vendor image? Just throwing it out there. When you initially installed, was it a clean install? (Wiped dalvik, cache system and data) I know you did a factory rest after you booted but that wouldn't fix TT the Google play issue. I would reflash everything but this time wipe the big 4 (dalvik, cache, system and data) and then start your flashing.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] ExDeus00:
I cleared everything on my tablet....wipe everything including internal storage.....still get the same error

my last DU ROM is android 5.1.1ver. ... how to check wheather I using the correct vendor image? do you have the correct vendor.img to let me flash? @@
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] ExDeus00:
thanks, I finally fixed this...vendor image problem :D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] glockman4519:
Good to hear that you got it. I didn't get back to the thread till now or I would have given you a hand with the .img file you needed. Anyways, if anybody e else needs it, here you go.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] ElwOOd_CbGp:
go to settings>dirty>Misc and tick Disable FC Notifications. Hopefully, if everything else seems to be working, who cares if google's stupid background services are constantly running? This is an awesome feature because I turn off a lot of google stuff and it wants to cry about it but it's not my problem.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:

Hi I'm on stock 6.0.1 with elementalx kernel. Could anyone tell me is this ROM superior in any way to my current setup? Ram management is the biggest problem, but in general my tablet flies! Does xposed work on this ROM? Also with the whole vendor img thing, do I need to do anything in twrp except clean install this ROM and gasps? Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Latest stable build is now in the OP! This build requires a clean flash.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] djranoia:
dont know how i missed that smh thank you

Hi can we flash the vendor img under image flash in TWRP? Thanks and sorry for noob questions!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] MotoFlasher:
Yes... [MENTION=4801772]Dard23[/MENTION]

I have the impression that charging takes a lot of time on latest stable version.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] maelfilk:
Does the built-in kernel support 2.0A charging?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Yes.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Dard23:
Hi running this the last couple of days. Seems very good so far, a couple of crashes but nothing major. Quick question, is there any kernel app that is supported? Also I notice you mention not asking for help if problems because of xposed, does that mean that we can't use xposed on this ROM? Thank you for it anyway, I really do like it!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You should be able to use any kernel tweaking application. There's no limitation on that. As for xposed, you can use it -- but any issues you have with it installed will not be anything we will support. You'll be on your own.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Dard23:
Hi one other thing, it probably is not possible or can't be implemented easily but I really like using the slim recents panel. However while using that there doesn't seem to be a way to access multi window? Would a future update ever enable this feature? Sorry for cheeky question and seriously really loving this ROM even more as I become more familiar with it so thank you!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Nope. It was done this way purposefully.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Cancertoast:
So I used the DU updater to update to 1.2. The install loops at "Dirty Unicorn is Starting... - Preparing Settings."

I tried to reboot and the same thing happened. So then I went to revert to an older backup of the initial 6.0 DU image. And my pin no longer works... I never had another pin, so this is not a case of me forgetting it. Before I reverted to the initial 6.0 DU release the tablet would keep turning itself on, even if I shut it down, the tablet would power on within 12 seconds, over and over. So my Nexus 9 is pretty much useless right now, definitely going to lose my data.

Any clues what happened? I mean, I used the official updater, did not expect this to happen. Peeved and confused.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Did you clean flash or dirty flash?

Also, flashing instructions are in the OP. I strongly suggest that EVERYONE read them.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Cancertoast:
The first time, dirty. Then I tried again and wiped dalvik, and cache. This evening I will just redo the install, my vendor image is still 6 too, so I think I am fine on that front.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Cancertoast:
What vendor image is 10.2 based off of?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] GialanG:
I downloaded the latest rom image from Google (mob30g) for the vendor.img and that worked
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
MOB30G -- I posted a link to the image in the thread.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] madbat99:
I'm pretty sure when NYCHitman posted the new build, his post said "new build is in op, this one requires a clean flash".

Clean flash means wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik.

Just wiping cache and dalvik is not a clean flash.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Cancertoast:
For the life of me I cannot figure out how to make the status bar stay. It keeps auto-hiding. I have looked through every single page of settings and there is nothing to prevent this. This was not an issue when I was using DU 1.0. What setting was enabled by default in 10.2??? I even tried using The Google with no success. It gave me results, but nothing useful that pertained to my issue.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It doesn't do that by default. You probably enabled expanded desktop.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Dard23:
Hi sorry what is the difference between theme ready and banks gapps?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Pretty straight forward.. theme ready = theme ready

Does anyone here use AdAway? I can't get it to work on the Nexus. It installs fine, applys updates fine but on reboot it is disabled. It works great on my phone, but I cannot figure out why it won't work on the tablet.

I think its best to use the built in ad blocking in dirty tweaks.

Device Administrator

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone else is having trouble updating the Device Administrator list found under Security settings? For me, whenever I try to check or uncheck any of the items under Settings -> Security -> Device Administrators, Settings app crashes.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
No issues here
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] PieceKeepr:
I just tried and had the same thing happen. "Unfortunately settings has stopped."
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] zerone55:
Thanks for checking. I poked around a bit more and looks like it was my theme (Euphoria Dark) that was causing the crash. Going back to default theme didn't cause a crash. Enabed the theme again, and setting started crashing again.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] PieceKeepr:
Well that's interesting. I was using Blakkat and it was also causing my crash. Switched themes and like you said, it worked.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
We don't support 3rd party kernels. Stick with stock setup.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] killswitx:
so that's why its gone...hmm great
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Honestly, there's no reason for you to use a 3rd party kernel. I've buffed up unicornblood to be the best that it can be.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] killswitx:
ok thanks i try that with stock. the root should be on straight? or is there anywhere dev options to turn on?

Ever since upgrading to 10.2 my flash drive no longer is recognized, it mounts, but shows 0 bytes. The flash drive works on my windows pc, and worked on my Nexus 9 before I updated. Any ideas what is going on?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
None. Try using StickMount.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Cancertoast:
No luck. It shows a drive connected but I can't access it or see what is in it because it shows 0 bytes. It is fat formatted. I had to switch to fat in the past because twrp didn't want to recognize the USB with NTFS.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Don't have NTFS support in the kernel. Only exFAT for 3rd party FS.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Cancertoast:
The thing is it is exFAT formatted. When I try and format from android it says:

https://imgur.com/gallery/D6gOp

It is important to note that this drive always showed as corrupt in android but worked regardless, without issue.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
In retrospect, I thought I had brought over exFAT into the kernel. However, I didn't.

Basically, this drive shouldn't have worked for you at all lol. I'll get to porting over exFAT support though.

Please just file a feature request report on JIRA, so I don't forget.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:

I can't get the damn thing to boot for some reason... stuck on the DU logo spinning forever. (like 30 minutes)

I re-downloaded Rom, TR gapps and the vendor.img you posted and tried again with no luck the 2nd time... is that the correct vendor you posted?

I wiped data, system and both caches each time. No clue WTF I did. HAHA!

I did notice when I boot it up it sends me to the white PIN to log in and it has my personalized name on it still. Seems like it's not wiping all the way?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] telc:
Thought it was just me. Same here. Dirty or full wipe it just spins on the DU logo. Updated Vendor as well. Also wiped everything except internal storage and still no go.
