Nope.. Should I have? Not sure how that would make updating the hosts file update fail. Everything else works.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mazda:
Don't start this man.....

We are aware of the pattern/pin issue but we're not miracle workers. It takes more then a day to troubleshoot something, especially since it is the middle of the week

Asking about it and beating a dead horse isn't going to make it get fixed any faster

The work around for now is to not have your pin/pattern on when flashing. Not sure who sets a pattern/pin on boot BUT whatever makes your tin foil hat float haha

tl'dr, we will work the issue just give us time and don't clutter the thread please
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Just a common courtesy thing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Was just trying to find out if more than two ppl have this problem and instantly stopped when he replied that he is not using a pattern. I didn't open a jira ticket or spammed around about finally getting a fix. It will be fixed when its fixed :)

No boot pattern = easy access to twrp = easy way to factory reset/steal data/use a stolen phone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] osoleve:
His issue had nothing to do with TWRP or booting in general. He was talking about a menu option accessed well after the phone has booted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Exactly...that's why I said I was trying to find out...since only a handful of ppl have been posting here after flashing the latest weekly I asked one of them if he was using the same setup and/or encountered problems.

Anyway.. I am out of the pattern/pin lock discussion :S

Hmm I am on latest weekly and have another problem/bug with it:

Some apps e.g. AdAway and OverrideDNS won't work with latest weekly as adaway fails to activate the hosts file (I have DU adblock disabled, before reboot the hosts file shows all entries, after reboot it is empty) while OverrideDNS can't set DNS after the boot up. I believe DU adblock doesn't work for me as well after a reboot.

I did a clean wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik).

Does anyone else have issues with notifications appearing for some apps but not others? I'm not in priority mode, no apps have notifications blocked, I'm back to using the system default theme, no connection issues, sync is enabled... Certain apps just don't send notifications, and sometimes *no* apps send notifications. I'm currently running the latest weekly (5/12) + the included kernel with Banks' latest gapps (full clean flash), but the issue was present in the previous weekly as well as the latest test. :crying:

The most notable app to not send any notifications is Inbox, but apps like XDA-Developers and Facebook always show notifications.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
I think google broke inbox..

In have not gotten an email notification regardless of the ROM in a week or so...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] spaceman860:
I'm using Inbox from TBO gapps it's an older version and I'm receiving notifications. Have you checked if notifications are on for all folders?

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] osoleve:
Yeah, I tore all of the settings, apps and otherwise, apart checking. Must be the new version. I'll downgrade to TBO and report back after some testing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bobnweaving:
Strange question, but when enabling the built in tethering it doesn't seem to check for subscription like others do. Does this have the prop build edited to avoid carrier checks?

Is this not normal AOSP messenger behavior? I've been running DU so long I never even considered that could be ROM specific, figured it was an AOSP messaging thing (I used to use Textra - been using DU longer than AOSP messaging app I suppose).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
In the past (with other ROMs) I was used to dirty flashing. With DU I started doing clean wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik) between every ROM update. My question to other DU users is:

What's your way for clean wipe + setting up the "new" ROM?

I thought I would use TitaniumBackup Pro for restoring apps + data and ROM Settings Backup Pro for restoring all Android settings. That full :fingers-crossed: restore would take about 30mins I guess. I would also add a Tasker profile for weekly automatic backups (or use Titanium's built in scheduler). Any other suggestions? :)

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Sounds about right.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
TiBu and ROM Settings Backup are the only two types of backup apps I know available, and imo both are the best at their respective function (I don't think ROM Settings Backup even has any competition, but it's awesome so it needs none).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
So I guess scheduled backups with Titanium (all new user + system apps as well as modified modified data) and ROM Settings Backup is the best solution. Maybe its also better to create an "update.zip" with Titanium that you clan flash after ROM and gapps.

Thanks !
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] spaceman860:
Never restore system apps or system data with ti backup.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Haha you were too fast.. I just wanted to edit my previous post :D obviously I will not backup system apps + data.

So my scheduler in titanium backup:

Redo backups for modified data (I wonder if this includes system data)

Backup new user apps & newer versions
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
(you can backup SMS/MMS data though - only if you have TiBu Pro)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
I was looking for exactly that scheduling option in TiBu Pro but I can't find it? Sorry to make the DU thread into a TiBu thread ATM :S
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zelendel:
You can also use SMS backup pro to back them up. IT is a better solution then backing up with TIBU
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
I prefer TiBu since it always worked for me. I now added a scheduler to backup SMS, call logs, wallpaper, Bluetooth pairings, WiFi, etc... Following this tutorial:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zelendel:
Be careful as bluetooth,Wifi and such are all system settings. Restoring those could casue issues. If it works for you cool. It always caused issues with me mainly if there was changes to the main apk. IT would corrupt my messages DB files so I just gave it up and stopped backing up messages until I switched to Textra which doesnt use the stock DB files.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Hmm good to know, so far no problems though. The data that I backup in my filter are:

Accounts and other ROM settings will be done via ROM settings backup pro.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zelendel:
The mms is a system apk.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
I know, I wont use it for restore but as last resort in case the xml-sms backup fails due to an update of the SMS app. That way I can restore the old SMS app and data and look for another way to backup those..... While writing this I think this is an overkill...should I really care that much about old SMS? :P
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zelendel:
To be honest? No its not. I have never seen the point of saving them. The only thing I even back up are users apps+data. I dont back anything else up myself. Not rom settings, sms, call logs none of it.

I didn't do all that backups myself until now. How ever I want to start doing weekly updates of my ROM with DU-weeklies and doing clean wipes before flashing. But changing all ROM settings over and over again manually (Language settings, app ops, accounts, DU settings,....)... Meh :(

Thanks for your input zelendel !

Wallpaper? Really? How?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mightycaptain:
Old Sms? Why bother. Unless you drag old stuff up on people. Course my wife thinks it's awfully convenient that I whack my sms and call log every few days when flashing she thinks is suspect. ?

All she ever asks is why does it delete that? Why don't you save them? I ain't waiting 30 minutes for restores everytime I flash. I Screenshot important ones. So I gotta show her what's there before I flash. Keeping the peace. ?

Hey Mrs. Mightycaptain, if you're over your husband's shoulder reading this, know he speaks the truth.. I've lost many an argument this way :p
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Circaflex:
sorry if i overlooked something, I did not read the last few pages. But TitaniumBackup Pro will backup MMS+SMS data and restore to any Messaging app. I have used my same SMS backup from my Galaxy S3 and kept them when I upgraded to the Nexus 5 and then to the nexus 6. So i have gone from Jellybean to Kit kat to Lollipop using the same backup file. Titaniumbackup pro is just a few bucks on play store. There are two options, one that is highlighted Yellow that says Messages (MMS and SMS) that i use. I know others backup the actual SMS app and restore that, but too many issues have been caused by that and if you decide to upgrade to a new version of android it probably wont work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
That is exactly how I do it since my Nexus 4 :) worked like a charm until... I tried Textra which decided to cripple everythig that has to do with sms :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
OK...

If you insist on using tibu...

Backup user apps and data...

You want SMS and call logs?

Make sure you use the XML backup option... The yellow one...

Some say the update.zip works... Never has for me...

As far as system apps... Don't be lazy... Reset it up yourself... That's the only way to see what's been updated...

I can go from download... To back up and running in about an hour... If I use the SMS backup... Prolly closer to an hour and a half... Texts take a long time to restore...

If this isn't the place to post just let me know. When I go from landscape to portrait or visa versa sometimes the shell "freaks" out. Screen will black out, go to lock screen and start over. Seems to take a few seconds for this unbork itself. Does it in any app, though stock camera seems to be the worst. I am on the 5-12 weekly from a clean flash with TBO gapps, latest one. Thanks.

Care to grab a logcat of the event while it's freaking out? Might help isolate the issue.

That's interesting. I was having a problem with that on the chroma ROM, which is why I moved to dirty unicorns. It always did it on chroma, but I've never had it happen on dirty unicorn. (not saying anything bad about chroma, just what I experienced.

I found it happened consistently when using Google maps or chrome browser. Going from portrait to landscape.

Just out of curiosity, can you try this and see if it makes a difference: go into developer options and turn on "disable HW overlays" then see if it still happens. That stopped it happening 100% when I had the problem. It's not a fix, but it might point to it being the same thing I was experiencing. Keep in mind that when you reboot your phone this setting will change back.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] spongers:
That might have made it worse. Disabled overlays, opened camera in portrait, switched to landscape, all buttons went away, and it really freaked out. Took about a minute to come back. By the time I could get a logcat I don't think it had it.

This ROM is great. Been using it for the past week paired up with Zen kernel and the phone has never been smoother
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kingston73:
Agreed, great rom. The only issue I have is that Always Listening resets its self when I reboot the phone. Is it my phone or is this an issue for everybody?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
That's definitely not an issue for everyone. Have you tried wiping Google app data and retraining? I've seen that needed across all ROMs since I've owned this device sporadically. However, if you tried that and it didn't work I'd venture to guess it's a gapps issue.. what gapps do you happen to be using?

New test build is up. Can the people using pin/password for booting android test it? Should be good now.

Does the AOSP Mail app that comes with DU support push?

I am using K9 for years now but the bug with its annoying randoml battery drain hasn't been fixed (according to google a lot of other ppl have the same problem). Since DU comes with a mail app which also supports exchange (although I only need 2x gmail + 2x IMAP atm) I thought this would be a good solution. Design wise it looks fine, I can set different server settings for outgoing/incoming and hopeully it can handle the amounts of mails I work with. Or any other suggestions?

Thanks !

Esit: Also, how can I remove a mail account from AOSP mail? :o I tried clearing app data but didnt work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
K9 sucks. Use Nine ActiveSync.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Never heard of this one but I will give it a try. How ever, according to [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] the exact same bug alao exists with Nine :(

How to delete accounts from aosp mail?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
It's an android thing rather than an app thing it seems... Not sure if there's an issue with dormancy or something, but yeah if I'm not using WiFi, in seeing massive radio active amounts with Nine and any other app over the Internet.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Hmm alright, thanks for that ! Maybe I will make some tasker profile to change mail sync settings when notnon WIFI.

I alao already founs out on how to remove an account from aosp mail (android settings -> accounts).

Edit: meeeh Nine won't support gmail :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mightycaptain:
Doesn't matter. Nine is that awesome. Best money I ever spent on app. I asked for wear integration they responded they'll look and updated in 2 days with wear integration. Asked for dark mode. Now have dark mode. Few other odds and ends and they've added it all.

And what bug are you speaking of? Battery Drain? Nine battery use is negligible from what I've seen. When an email hits outlook on the desktop it hits nine on the phone within seconds regardless if wifi or mobile and at least for me has little impact on battery. I use Gmail app for everything else. I'd use it for Exchange too if Nine weren't so great.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] philsfan:
Same issue here on latest test build. Disabling hardware overlays actually helped my situation a bit, tho. However when first switching to landscape, system ui still crashes (it takes a few seconds to flip to landscape also) but this time it's only the nav bar that needs to reset (to my knowledge) and I don't get shot back to the lockscreen like previously. Nav bar reloads pretty quickly, but it's still noticeable for sure.

Flipping back to portrait is flawless now after disabling overlays, with no lag or jank at all. Clean class with slim gapps and running zen kernel. I'll grab some logs in the a.m.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Hmm you seriously recommend to use two apps (Nine / gmail) instead of one (K9) which seems to support both worlds (especially as I won't use exchange)? I will give Nine a try but wonder what happend to the K9 hype.

Edit: Now I remember why I removed gmail...its missing "Mark as read" in the statusbar notification. Annoying as I wake up every day with ~15 Status Mails fromy servers which I usually "Mark as read" with one click (if the mail titles tell me that everything is okay with those servers). And since I use folders/filters/labels for mails I never delete/archive.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mazda:
I just checked the AOSP gerrit https://android-review.googlesource.com and I don't see any patches from them trying to fix or remove these certificates which tells me they just want attention and not really wanting to fix things.......

From my experience, most of these companies have some kind of agenda to push their app or some service or whatever.

For the time being, I'm going to stick with what Google has. If the Bogey man comes and gets me or Obama steals my high score in Angry bird then so be it......

Sure, I just stumpled upon this post yesterday and thought I would share it :)

I will try makig my own .zip file that I can flash after flashing ROM to delelte certain certificates. Will be a fun little scripting project :D

New weekly fixed the bootloop when having a password/pattern. Really great job DU-Team :o with every weeklie I am getting more and more happy about having switched to DU !

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Latest weekly:

DUL-69 (HOSTS file get modifies / blanked out without adblocker enabled) is still present.

Also when re-booting from recocery (e.g. after flashing new gapps) it gets stuck in a bootlop. I have to force shutdown, then the next boot will work fine (happend twice already). Maybe password/pattern on boot related? Would a logfile help?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Generally impossible to log forced shutdowns/ SODs as opposed to random reboots, as there will be no dmesg or kmsg in sys/fs/pstore. Your only hope is that whatever caused the random reboot will still allow your phone to connect via adb, if it will you're gonna wanna pull kmsg log via ADB (ideally during the crash) by enering the following: adb pull /proc/kmsg > kmsg.txt
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] spaceman860:
Adblocker is working fine. You don't have to keep mentioning every thing you report on jira here.

As for the bootloop issue with pin/password I'm aware of it. For now you just have to deal with it until I find time to look into again. Like you said just force reboot it if it does get stuck and then it will boot.

As for AdBlocker: It must be smth else with "settings" then that empties out the hosts file? I see the "settings granted SU" and afterwards the hosts file is empty.

Alright, glad you are aware of it. I can live with the current solution as I reboot once in a year :)

Download the host files and make sure it says 4/4 reboot into recovery and wipe cache. It will work as advertised.

Sent from my Dirty Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Utini:
Thats the problem. I want the built in adblocker to be disabled and use AdAway (so that I can add my own hosts sources and have more option for hosts file updates). But the built in adblocker seems to interfere even when its disabled.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
My attempt at doing this when I had issues with the built in ad blocker definitely makes me think something may be up with ad blocking. I deleted all 3 host extension files like normal to use AdAway! and then I rebooted, installed, rebooted and AdAway! had all the same problems built in ad blocker does of ads displaying, pages failing to display entirely instead of popups being blocked, etc. AdAway! displayed this same behavior - checked on my secondary on MultiROM that has no host blocker baked in and AdAway! is just as lovely as usual (about as lovely as our baked in ad blocker normally is, hence I never bother with AdAway! on DU).

So I went with your suggestion of wiping cache in recovery immediately after applying and it fixed it for a while. However, I have to reapply hosts way more often than normal (in the past I would apply on flash and not apply again until next build generally unless builds were spaced out) and occasionally ad blocking just simply does not work, even when hosts do not need re-applied. Normally I am the first to assure everyone that everything on DU is working perfectly and they, the users, are creating their own problems, as in my experience that's generally how it is on this ROM. I do think there may actually be something to look into here, though, based on what I have just reported. It seems to stay like that every build.
