[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] J93:
Hi All,

I'll be getting my N9 tomorrow and have a few questions:

Should I update to 5.1.1 straight away and then Root/TWRP?

Do I need to disable force-encryption via Flashable ZIP (I've seen on Forums) and Will I need to do it for this ROM or Is that only on Stock?

I see there is a Vendor Fix download, Is that needed to be flashed on First ROM?

I've got experience with ROMs having owned a N7 but N9 is another beast that I'm not familiar with.

Thanks, J.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Disabling encryption is an optional thing. Keep in mind that you will need to nuke your device in order to do so. Vendor fix should be flashed after ROM + gapps.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] andreimarinescu:
[MENTION=3752937]poults[/MENTION] how are things progressing? still stable on the test release? what gapps did you use, latest Banks?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You could always try it out for yourself :p
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] andreimarinescu:
I'm going to anyway, but curious about other experiences :)

I did spend all weekend on 9.4 official, but 6-7 hours in I started getting the FCs again. After a reboot everything would go back to normal for a short while. I didn't post back as I didn't have access to a PC to collect the logcat output, so I didn't want to pollute the thread further, without adding new info to the mix :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] poults:
[MENTION=2378679]andreimarinescu[/MENTION] Yes latest Banks and everything going fine still, i didn't wipe device at all either, just flashed over the top.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Well, I certainly don't recommend that with the latest test build I released. However, keep in mind - test builds are meant for G+ conversations only, not XDA.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
For me Craigs Full Gapps dated 04/22 still work fine. Just did a clean flash a few hours ago.

You like the full pkg? I've always hated the fact that it changes the KB lol.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
pkg? Keyboard doesn't matter, I don't like the Stock KB so I'm installing SwiftKey as son as I booted up [emoji1]

Pkg = package for lazy people like myself, currently.

Ahh, yeah I use the stock AOSP keyboard. It does everything that I need it to :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] demon28:
I keep getting force closes on start flashed the vendor fix and still getting them. I see I'm not the only one is there a way to fix this
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Vendor fix isn't related to any FC. The vendor fix is to prevent a warning at system start up. In any event, there's only like one or two people with the FC issue. However, that problem is gapps related on their end - not the ROM.

I would recommend trying out the new weekly when it rolls out later today or tomorrow with the latest Banks gapps.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] mortadelo97:
Hello. I'm sorry if the question may seem a bit stupid, but I've just made my mind to flash a ROM to my Nexus 9 and I hadn't had any Nexus devices before. Do I have to unlock the bootloader to install it? And for a kernel? Thanks.;)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Yeah, you'll need to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe your device entirely. Afterward, you need a custom recovery (TWRP) to flash the ROM. As far as kernels go, all ROMs come with prepackaged kernels.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] visitor29:
Change log says Show 4g instead of lte...this means it now support on LTE model?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
No, but I did enable LTE for LTE model users. Whatever issues you stumble across will be your own to figure out.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Added weeklies URL to the OP. Feel free to grab the latest :o

Home button doesn't work

I didn't read through all the pages, so sorry if this is repeat. But the home button doesn't work, every other custom button in the options work.

Best ROM for sure on the nexus 9, speedy, features, great.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] dictionary:
Did you do a full wipe, it dirty flash? If dirty, you're going to have to do a clean flash.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] ClassySandwiches7:
I'll try it. Shouldn't a full wipe not be required because I updated from a previous version of DU?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Had the same 2 versions ago, settings were reset and home button didn't work. Guess to much changes, clean flash and you're good.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Flashing instructions are in the OP. :D

What build stable, Test or Weeklies?

---------- Post added at 08:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

Full wipe and install last Weeklies.

Crash AOSP keyboard and i can't connect to wifi... :(
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Use the latest test build. Make sure you're using the correct gapps also.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Martin_Devil:
Open gapps Arm64 use. on last so I see aosp keyboard crash too..
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Are you using a theme that modifies the keyboard?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Martin_Devil:
I just flush your mouth and I can not even pass the basic setting. Immediately after the mistake I see systems ui and keyboard
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
What?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Martin_Devil:
Mouth = rom. Stupid T9 + translator (

I made full wipe, flash Wheekles build and reboot. And i can't connect to wifi or auth on google account.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] AxelRoldos:
I seem to be experiencing an inability to save pictures I take with the camera. Some error about... Well, there being an error lol. Interestingly, I tried to screenshot the pop-up, but then the screenshot couldn't even save either. A notification popped up saying that there was some issue with internal storage and/or limited storage space.

Also, flashing the Lollipop Sounds.zip didn't actually give me the Lollipop Sounds lol.

Can anybody assist?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] DanteGR:
Just dirty flashed latest (7/7) test version and everything is working fine. Are you on latest firmware?

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
This is due to wonky Permissions or corrupted Folders on your SD Card. I've had this a few times on my Phone and Tablet when i didn't wipe Internal SD Card and trying to many Roms.

Solution is, to Rename Camera Folder and Screenshots Folder to Screenshots_old and Camera_old for example and let the System create new Folders next time you take a Picture/Screenshot.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] AxelRoldos:
Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] Ysalamiri:
My WiFi seems to be very unstable...

I did a full wipe, flashed DU, flashed 64 bit gapps, flashed vendor fix.

Everything works fine but when I try to connect to a wireless network it just keeps on saying "Obtaining IP address...". Sometimes it will connect after a reboot, but it loses connection after about 5 minutes and tries to obtain an IP address again.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
This has been fixed upstream already. Update to latest weekly or test build to fix. Remember to clean flash :)

How's battery life on the tablet with this ROM?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Superb.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SuperWind:
What's the battery life when user the nexus on screen??? And what's its length when in standby?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] tiernan22:
Some people get 7 hrs SOT. Others get 2 hrs.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I average about 6 hrs SoT over 34-36 hrs.

YMMV, so there's no point in asking - tbh. Everyone uses their tablet differently.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] SuperWind:
Yeah your right everyone does use there tablet differently I'm asking because I'm getting my nexus 9 the first week of august so I'm going to see how long the battery is SOT using 0 brightness and other battery saving settings....has anyone tried that telephony.apk removing thing that is said to save battery?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] lilliput222:
With 0 brightness you can get 9-10 hrs even more ... I normally use 30% brightness and easily get 7-8 hrs with moderate use in 1.5-2 days
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Latest stable build is now in the OP! Enjoy!

Also, updated URL for mini gapps.

A few days ago I got a new smart tv and I'm wondering if it's possible to use Widi to get Screen Mirroring to work. On my Nexus 6 I'm able to mirror my screen after enabling Widi in screen Mirroring settings. On DU it's missing, anyone know a way around?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Settings > Display > Cast screen.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Thanks, but as i suspected this Option is missing on the Nexus 9. After a few Minutes Googleing i found this http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/help/cast-screen-option-to-enable-wireless-t2929898

Guess its not possible then. What a shame :(
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I was going to tell you that Chromecast is very likely your best solution. It's what I use when I need to mirror anything.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] molohov:
I noticed this is a missing feature in all releases of DU. Why is it that OmniSwitch cannot be triggered from the recents button but SlimRecents is by default (when enabled)?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Because it was never intended to be that way, so it's not actually "missing" :good:

No service message in lock screen

Hi, firstable, thank you for this wonderful rom! It made my Nexus 9 experience much more enjoyable.

I have two quick questions.

1. on the lock screen, on the top left, it says "no service". Is there a way to get rid of that?

2. Are there any tweaks to charge faster? Charging on this rom is slightly faster than on stock, but it is still really slow. (Takes the whole night to charge from 10% to full.)

Thanks
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] xsaver23:
Loving this rom. After getting my nexus 9 and updating to stock 5.1.1 it still has little stutters. After installing this rom + elemental x it has been soooo smooth :)

Would also like to know how to remove the No service message just like whatever100 asked.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] pixelsfarm:
To get rid of the "No Service" message on the lockscreen I did the following (on latest stable).

Dirty Tweaks > Status Bar > Carrier Label > Enable custom carrier label, open the custom label but don't write anything, just okay out again, and it should be gone.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
FYI - No need to flash a 3rd party kernel on DU for Flounder. It's equally or more optimized than many of the 3rd party kernels out there.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
When you're charging the unit, be sure to use the stock HTC charger that came with the tablet or one that charges at 2.0A.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] andreimarinescu:
I have no words to describe this release other than phenomenal! No issues and everything just flies! Thanks, [MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] and the rest of the team.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
That's how it should be ?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] xsaver23:
Interesting, I will definitely give it a try without using a 3rd prty kernel.

Thx for the info.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] D-m-x:
I can tell you he's right, I've been using ElementalX a long time on my N9 when I decided to try the kernel that comes with DU. It is really smoother, don't know why, only feature I'm missing is sweep to sleep from ElementalX :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
arhgh, trying this one out, and love the speed of it, but i cant restore my apps via TB...... any clue to why ?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It's only large sized applications that won't restore via TiBu. I've contacted them (the TiBu devs) numerous times about this.

Work around is to make a flashable zip that you flash in recovery to restore your apps + data.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
now, can i make that zip from within TB on the DU install ?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Yeah, inside TiBu.. go to Batch Actions > scroll down to Recovery mode > Create update.zip from app+data backups.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
thanks, but why cant i install it ? just gets a error in recovery

error executing updater binary in zip
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Dunno. Never had that problem. You might want to research that in the TWRP thread or on Google.

EDIT: Probably should've mentioned this before, but often times the updater binary errors come from faulty files. The backup and/or update.zip creation could've had a hiccup. FWIW, I'm on TWRP 2.8.6.0.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
dammit, i give up, cant restore some apps at all, even trying one at a time. No matter what i try of settings in TB.

it just wont restore, way to much work to figure out which will restore and then install the problem ones from google play.

pretty weird though.... gonna try broken or team eos instead

maybe some day i will return, have enjoyed the speed of this rom though.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] molohov:
With the N9, i get this issue quite a bit. Did you try setting the default install location to "Internal"?

> adb shell

> su root

> pm set-install-location 1
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Ok, enjoy.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
"fun" fact, same problem in every rom. weird...

my backup is from Lollipopalooza, maybe thats why, well might as well use DU as i have to install every program from start again :eek::eek::eek:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
By the way, if you just install the apps and restore data manually - you'll be fine, but I'm sure you don't want to do that.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
yea i know, its the only way i gonna get them backup. have searched all over, and fund many different ways of handling TB problems, but non of them work for restoring the apps that makes TB stuck. so i will go trough the list one by one. Restore - next, manual install - restore data - and so on

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 PM ----------

but must say, this rom so far is quick, i know animations is set to 0,5, but its still way faster than many others all around usage
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
I still think you should give the recovery method another try. It's by far the easiest and most convenient way for app/data restoration.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
åhh i have tried and tried, now down to the last 20 apps of manual restore in TB, then i am ready to rock this rom. almost there
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
All up and running, Damn it's a great rom, thank you

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
There's two that are newer than that (technically) :p

A good kernel goes a long way.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CZ Eddie:
I have that problem with all ROM's I've tried so far on my Nexus 9.

I simply restore 5-10 at a time and write down the apps it gets stuck on.

Then skip those apps on the next 5-10 that I restore.

After I've restored all apps, I'll manually install the problem apps from PlayStore.

Now what I do is back up all my apps, and then create a .zip from them using TB's built in option.

So all I have to do is flash the backup zip in recovery and it installs all my apps in like 5 seconds.

Then after a couple reboots, TB will start restoring all the app data too.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] CerB:
Yea, I did that too, but never got the zip to work. Always gave me an error when trying to flash it. Looks like I gonna stay for a while with this ROM. So no worries for now ??

After updating to 9.6 my google accounts don't sync anymore, google play doesn't connect. Any fix for that? Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Nope. Zero errors on the server. 503 errors are app related, but just require you to keep trying to DL the file.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You probably dirty flashed, which require that you flash gapps again each time. Also, as per DU's rules: "If you dirty flash, don't report issues until you clean flash"
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
You guys need to flush your DNS cache.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] sandm4n:
Flushed DNS, tried download but ended with the same half downloaded file... It just ends randomly around 130-160 MB.

My connection is fine as I am downloading other files from other projects with no issues. A mirror would be really helpful. :(

EDIT: Got it finally!.. downloaded using a download manager. It stopped again around 140 MB and refused to continue from there but after a dns flush, it continued no problem. Strange! :D
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] alphanu22:

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] fjhus16:
Probably dumb question

So yeah, I downloaded both gapps. But because the Banks Dynamic one was downloaded first I flashed that one. But now my question is, is this one 64-bit too? And which one is better?

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] alphanu22:
Flashed this yesterday and think I found a setting that causes DU get stuck at the Boot Animation...

Newest TWRP, Wipe System, Dalvik, Data, Cache

Flashed 9.6, BanKs, Vendor, and do the initial setup.

Open settings, Grant access to SuperSU, Open SuperSU have it DL an update, and reboot. Everything boots up fine.

I've done this close to 10 times to figure out what setting I was toggling on/off in the DU Menu and found that toggling off "three finger gesture" causes to stuck at the Boot Animation-

Would be best to avoid rare unexpected behavior.

However I always do the following and never had problems.

Wipe system, cache and dalvik cache.

Then flash rom AND appropriate gapps.

That's it.

Remember though that support is only provided when flashing from a full wipe (as per the OP).

Can I just ask a stupid question? Just how the hell can this ROM make such a night and day difference over stock? Is the magic sauce in the kernel? Or are there changes to Android itself to make it fly on a N9???? It's just unbelievable how much quicker this is and how much faster task switching is.
