Yes. Since the April update I'm flashing the incremental update monthly.

The modded/black TBO apps keep working no reinstall needed. Same with layers and rootswitch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
I flashed system only changes without a single problem. Magisk and all the other "mods" I have still working great.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] X0LARIUM:
This is pure stock right? None of the Lineage enhancements correct?

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Can you tell me the difference between what is here:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862710305

And the update you are talking about?

The only difference I see is -

N6F26U-Lite-7.1.1-03142017.zip VS N6F27I-Lite-7.1.1-su282sr1.zip

EDIT1 - Never mind, I flashed it and it FAST.

However, one small question - Why doesn't the launcher ever be Pixel launcher on these stock ROMs?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Yes

You could check if your bootloader needs an update (recent version 72.03)

Lazy Google. The Pixel Launcher is not in the stock factory image for the Nexus 6 (32-bits). Pixel is (64 bits)

I prefer the Nova Launcher. Works great with this lite rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] X0LARIUM:
Ok to begin with..AMAZING battery life!!!! Overall.... SUPER smooth... Thanks for this...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Did you try the app of [MENTION=4467676]MrBIMC[/MENTION] to stop apps running in the background?

https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pavelsikun.runinbackgroundpermissionsetter
[Nexus 6 Android Development] X0LARIUM:
Yo! Thanks for this... But what does it do? I am pretty happy otherwise with the performance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Since Android 7.x the apps that works in the background can be restricted. Less resources and CPU etc.

Normally ADB commands are needed, but on rooted phones it's easier with this app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
If you want Pixel Launcher, try this : http://https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases.

I use this and it's AWESOME!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] X0LARIUM:
Thanks bro.. That's what I am using.. However the navigation icons don't change.. It's the same old hollow circle triangle and square..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
Triangle = Tri-Force, Circle = Circle of Life, Square = 4 Dimensions that we live in.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] X0LARIUM:
WHOOOAAAA! Didn't see that coming!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] caloyzki:
Only problem on this rom is when i install the samsung gear for my smartwatch, it wont let me install. It says on the play store that you're phone is not compatible on this app. But if i went back to no root i can install the app without any problem. Any idea guys why?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
With rootswitch it is possible to en/disable root.

On my Nexus 6, only version 1.3.3.16 works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] X0LARIUM:
Guys I HAVE to recommend this app! It has Lineage OS's BEST feature - IMMERSIVE mode!!!

Install the app.. Add it to the status bar and click! Done!

You now have a fully immersive mode on the fastest ROM for the N6!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
A little off topic but do you think anyone will develop a "Stock Lite" 8.0 ROM similar to this one?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Imadroider:
Yes. It's super lite, and as the first and only 8.0 rom for the N6 that I've tried so far and it's very smooth with lots of good feedback in the thread. Check it out. No Gapps to install. All needed (and very lite) are included. I've been running it since Friday night with hardly a hiccup.

Wow! That's is an unfortunate turn of events. Not surprising though. It's happened many times over the years here. It's a sweet first edition of an Oreo rom for the N6 though and while there will obviously be no support or discussion forthcoming, the link to the rom in the op is still live and my suggestion to check it out still stands. Btw, after checking out the rom link to make sure it was still live I just noticed AFH got an extreme makeover. Nice!

Hey Danvdh, would it be possible to make mods or put into the rom, expandable volume controls and/or long press volume keys to skip tracks. I know Xposed has these features but I'm not a big fan of it. These 2 features are pretty much the only things I'm missing from custom roms.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
I have no plans to deodex this ROM, its meant for pure stability and a light stock experience. so no, sorry
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iainaaldrich:
Danvdh, when M finally releases do you plan on making a similar build as this? This ROM has the best battery life of any I've tried, obviously that is mainly due to the kernel used here. Also wondering if it would be worth upgrading to the latest lean kernel over hells and what that might offer vs this baked in one. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
Yes I'll continue to build lightrom, I'd just stick with this kernel, its a proven beast
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bigant262:
So Supersu keeps disappearing on me, is it probably because I'm flashing MCR modpack? If so, is there any way to get it back? I don't have it showing up in the app drawer or anything. I use MCR modpack for some of the mods in it, more specifically double tapping the status bar and navbar to sleep.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] miketino:
SuperSU is baked into settings, above developer settings iirc
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thedrizzle:
I use MCR modpack and have no issues with supersu...it doesn't show in the app drawer but you can dial *#*#1234#*#* to open it.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Chochiwpg:
I flip flop between both kernels, they both perform well for me. Currently using HellsCore. With Lean you get off screen gesture controls that you can't get with Hells.. The developer of Hells has been asked before and he doesn't plan on adding the feature. Basically if your screen is off you can customize gestures to launch certain apps or features. Swipe right to get to camera, swipe left to change song, or whatever you choose really. Can't go wrong with either kernel, both perform great.

Also very interested in giving this ROM a go. Always love close to stock based ROMs that keep it light. And [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] is a fellow Canadian, so want to support his hard work :)

Gonna have to disagree with you there, since I'm using it and all the options I use work just fine...just saying. Version r12 was updated to be compatible with the LMY47I base which is 5.1.1. It's a great way to get a few tweaks without xposed or deodex, IMO.

On the flip side of the coin, there are a few out there who believe the guy is being unfairly persecuted because he supposedly kanged a ROM or theme in the past. If he's throwing f bombs, I can see why, but it doesn't excuse his behavior. I personally would like to know the full story from all parties concerned, if only to be able to make an informed choice.

Meanwhile I await the Android 8 version of Pure Nexus.

The September image has dropped.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
September update NGI55D contains:

- new bootloader 72.04.

- new boot.image.

- 235/1764 different system files.

Different system concerns odex files, so library's (stagefright) and some apk's.

Plan:

- incremental update zip N6F27I - NGI55D.

- updated lite ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634799728

This is not a ROM.

The zip-file does not contain boot.img, bootloader or radio.

For the Nexus 6 (rooted) with 7.1.1 stock rom version N6F27I, TWRP recovery and a custom kernel.

Personal use.

Nexus 6, rooted stock rom. I'm dirty flashing a new incremental update monthly.

The modded/black TBO apps keep working, no reinstall needed. Same with layers and rootswitch.

Bootloader and Supersu were updated seperately

Advice.

Make a full nandroid backup with TWRP before flashing.

For full updated lite rom NGI55D see next post.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:

Not baked in, but you can use Substatum.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I've compared SIX, crDroid, Madness and Nitrogen by extracting the system.imgs.

CrDroid and Nitrogen are close together, only 205 different system files.

SIX is more personal, but extra audio stuff.

Madness has AdAway baked in.

The roms are all recognized by the extracting tool as Nougat 7.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Here's one more to compare if you would like.

Carbon and crDroid are most close to the last factory-img NGI55D. About 540 different files .

The O-roms have all slightly different boot.img's. Number of files 2000-2173

(NGI55D = 1764)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thank you for your analysis. I am not sure I understand what you have concluded?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
For a first flash I'll use CrDroid or Nitrogen.

Incl. experiments like adding TBO-black apps (Google stuff).

In crDroid I noticed a crFilemanager.

SIX seems good for audio-users.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I've been running latest SIX lately. I also like N2.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
It seems to me that all 32bit Oreo ROMs are close to Lineage. Only in SIX I've a Google prebuilt.

Do you have 'double functions' after flashing G-apps ?

Which root method did you use?

Did you try different kernels?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Not sure what you mean by double functions, please elaborate.

I use Super SU 2.82 SR 4 for root and [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] busybox. However, I am also switching busybox to Sterickson's Busybox pro, v. 12.2. Both work well.

I am not aware of different kernels available for the Nexus 6 Oreo builds as most custom roms are for N 7.1.1. So no, I have kept the kernel that came with the rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garywojdan81:
I think he's referring to duplicate apps, as in Google and aosp apps for the same things.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The aosp ROMs contain alternatives for Google stuff (f.i. calendar, contacts)

I wonder if G-apps contains this stuff.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lordneopt:
If you check their git madness is a fork of six and six is using many commits floating around on GitHub like a leach. Many of those are from cr and many other general fixes and patches (apart from some apks with themes that he made), which uses most of lineage 15 work.

Nitrogen is all and all the same as a workable and bootable lineage.

All N6 roms are mostly the same stuff. No one is making real progress and waiting for lineage to fix up stuff, apart from neo that tried to fix (and sort of managed) the nfc and bt.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thanks,

OK, yes when trying to apply substratum I noticed duplicates for the Clock, Calculator and there may be other apps. N2 uses an O Micro Gapps; Although both can use various O Pico Gapps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Thx.

Maybe the oreo ROMs, the G-apps or both can be 'debloated' from duplicates.

Need to figure out if that can be done without a lot of work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
CrDroid is using unofficial G-apps (8.0).

Nitrogen the official G-apps, but version 6.0.

When flashing Nitrogen and open G-apps 6.0 I would remove the following.

From Nitrogen-zip:

Calendar, Camera2, Easteregg, ExactCalculator, Messaging, OmniJaws, PicoTTS and webview.

From G-apps 6.0-stock zip:

the debloat-list of the Nougat lite rom, like Bookstub, Cloudprint, Hangouts etc.... about 200Mb.

The G-apps can be deleted from the concerning open-gapps-zip.

For 'cleaning' the ROM we need the dev, or a flashable zip.

For now I stop and wait for the last Nougat update of October.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Can't these be Debloated using Ti or the Uninstall app?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Yes, with root, TiBu can be useful. You can backup first and than delete.

Rootexplorer is also good for debloating not used apps.

The G-apps package can be debloated on a PC before flashing. By deleting the apps you don't want from the GApps folder.

An alternative. Flash a nano- or pico package of the open G-apps and than add desired G-stuff from the playstore.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No need to debloat the GApps package prior to using it. An official OpenGApps package can be configured using a .gapps-config file to include or exclude apps as desired. The crew at opengapps.org provide an entire page on how to do this. I used this feature with a stock package to approximate the Beans Dynamic GApps package when that package had a bug in it that prevented it from working.

Unofficial packages of course will need to be debloated beforehand, unless borrowing the OpenGapps installer.

On my N6 a dirty flash over the previous version (NGI55D) worked.

Modded apps may cause issues (fc's). Clearing cache/data is needed than.

Or a clean flash. Coming from a different rom, a clean flash is needed.

3xThx NLBeev! Can i ask: what kernel did you use in these last releases?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The latest stock kernel. Factory image N6F27M.

There's a second image NGI77B for Verizon devices. Same size but different.

On my N6 I flashed latest Franco's kernel r73. After the quick/incremental zip mentioned in the previous post.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Ok, so now the releases are encrypting, right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
No, because superSu patches the kernel.

But without superSU......take your time - encryption will be forced.

You may use the flashable zip in my post #4428. The changed system files of both October updates are the same.

Differences between N6F27I and NGI77B concerns Verizon.

Only the boot.img and radio are different.

You can find a flashable zip for the Verizon-radio in the thread of Q9Nap.

I don't know about differences in the boot images, but they probably concerns the branding of Verizon.

But when you need this rom with the Verizon boot.img, just post it here and I'll make a version with NGI77B boot.img.

Hi... I'm getting the stock updates but can't update.. Lol.. What to do?

There were two updates in October.

When you flashed the N6F27M lite ROM,

you probably received OTA NGI77B.
