First thing I delete when flashing a new version.

---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

You should never ever flash gapps at all on this rom. Install from the market what you need, then you also won't loose it when flashing a new version.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JustCreepin':
Same. Photos for the automagic backups. Never use Gallery.

Love the ROM. Great work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Same here.

I mean, nothing is wrong with the Gallery app but I prefer Google Photos.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nytrikx:
You continue to be the best at what you do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrDrift42:
I love the AOSP gallery! Hopefully you continue to provide it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guru_fordy:
Hi guys,

Okay so I'm an upgrade noon and usually just reinstall every few months. However now Google are doing the monthly patches and it's bloody annoying lol. I reinstalled in January so how do I upgrade what I've got?

Thanks for any help!

Doh noob too lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Meowdib:
I use the gallery app
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rauschkugl:
Just dirty flash. These basic things have been answered a lot if you don't know it yourself.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:
can i flash this zip if i am already on stock MMB29Q? want a slimmed down stock rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
I am assuming you're asking if you can dirty flash? I believe you should be able to but make a nandroid just in case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:
thanks for replying but i felt it more prudent to clean install & thats what i did & eveything is ok now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Appreciation because [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] is so very quick with updates. Flashing every month has become routine.

But I have a question to everyone who has a different dpi setting than the default.

I am using tablet mode with dpi 384. That needs editing of the file system/build.prop. After flashing the dpi setting is overwritten with default settings.

In Dan's zip I cannot find the file 'build.prop so I cannot edit it before flashing.

Is there a method to keep the dpi setting when flashing the new rom. Just to prevent that the icons are messed up/disappear.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
A guess: flash rom, use TWRP fileman to copy, edit file somewhere and paste it back?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Now preparing for update. In TWRP there is no edit option. For editing build.prop reboot is needed. Following your idea means: Flash - TWRP rename new bp - TWRP copy old bp to system - Reboot with old bp - Edit new bp - Copy new bp to system - Reboot.

Edit: when the build.prop could be extracted somewhere I could edit it first. But can;t find it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Well, maybe i wasn't clear. i also sometimes forget that not everyone has OTG cables etc. sorry for that. i meant:

-flash rom in twrp and do not boot

-use twrp fileman to copy build.prop from /system to USB OTG

-edit build.prop with something like Notepad++ on pc

-overwrite build.prop in /system from USB OTG with twrp fileman

-boot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrDrift42:
I use the terminal and type "wm density 384"

This seems to persist through dirty flashes even though the build.prop changes back to 560 dpi.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nytrikx:
I have stayed with stock kernel and no data issues at all. Every time I change to HC or Franco kernel I start loosing data. This is an issue that many users report about their Nexus 6. Some think is hardware, but for example I haven't had any issues with the stock kernel for now. Anybody else has had this issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Broooooook:
Did Danvdh mention the latest update has a newer kernel or it was just my bad memory?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jprime1:
Quick Question: When you update this rom, do you need to reinstall xposed?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Broooooook:
Ah, thanks. I'm asking because I find no kernels updated for that. Maybe just a tiny update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EeyoreSyndrome:
Yea, anytime you flash a rom update, you need to reflash any custom kernels and Xposed as well.

I look at it as an opportunity to make sure things are all latest versions. Especially including Viper4Android, they keep updating it so much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Thx. I will do this before flashing the latest lite rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrDrift42:
I forgot to mention you have to su first.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Yes, got an permission error and found out that su is needed.

Thx,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:
hi guys please help me understand why even though this rom has Forced encryption disabled under Settings > Security > Encryption > Encrypt phone it still shows Encrypted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Just because forced encryption is disabled doesn't mean it decrypts you. You have to do that yourself by formatting data either through TWRP (TWRP > Wipe > Format Data button) or through fastboot (fastboot format userdata), which will wipe out your app data and your internal storage partition so make the appropriate backups.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:
and this is done on first boot after flashing this rom? or immediately in TWRP after rom flash? TIA
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Either one works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I don't know, you like one developer over the other lol? Stock is stock, there is not too much you can do to it other than debloat it, which Dan has done a good job with here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:
the one by Tupac is much smaller than the one by Dan by almost 1/2 , whats the impact on the rom performance regards to everything just works?

i m new to flashing therefore want to stick with stock feel first before venturing further
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Nothing at all, it is just stock Android. Most likely packaged differently. I used Dan's stuff back when I first got into the flashing game before I went custom, you can't go wrong here :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iluvatrix:
ok sure thing , will go with your recommendation, its been a pleasure getting advice from you. btw i am now reading the thread on PN. gonna be a long read. #21020 posts at last count

Ta Ta!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
It's smaller because its deodexed which also means it takes longer to boot and optimize.

[MENTION=4432633]reyscott1968[/MENTION]

Good to know..i made a mess of my phone and decided to do a complete data format. So after installing MMB29Q i installed TWRP and flashed this Rom.

So that will do the rooting and notting else need to be done? Been a loong time that i rooted this phone, and even longer not making a mess of it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] demlv:
Correct. This rom comes with root pre-installed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EeyoreSyndrome:
Just do not "install super su" when twrp derps out and gives you a prompt to do so. As per instructions in the OP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nytrikx:
New TWRP update out now; version 3.0.

WHY?

Why does it have to be this way? Why did they have to make this more complicated. Just ordered a USB OTG to get this done.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EvilDobe:
Just use ADB.

adb pull /path/to/file

Edit file with Notepad++

adb push file /path/to/file

oh look, no bug reports - I don't even need to read this thread anymore

see you guys at the start of March, Android 6.0.1 is easily the best android yet, It took a while to get better firmware then 4.4.4, I was not much a fan of 5.x and 6.0 still had some issues
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrDrift42:
I have this bug where I dirty flash your monthly security update and then my phone doesn't have to reboot until I flash the next months security update. That's not normal right? ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Holysmoke99:
I lost all sound on apps plus no sound on earpiece plus unable to speak into google app.

I wiped 4 times, and flashed with purenexus to no avail.

then I flashed stock using nexus toolkit and sound came back.

Which version? I had the same problem on v79 and 80. v78 works perfect for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bchaney16:
Thanks for this ROM, it is exactly what I was looking for. Flashed lean kernel based on your recommendation as well, very clean.

For those of you having trouble editing build.prop to change DPI, etc., try FX file explorer with the root add-on. It seems to be one of the few explorers that work with systemless root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] caloyzki:
I just changed my DPI to 493 now using root explorer with out any problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrDrift42:
Or use terminal and type:

su

wm density 493

And don't worry about having to edit anything.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] passion8059:
Loving this rom. Great battery and quick. Working with layers well too. Would you consider in next build to add an advanced shut down menu (allow reboot) and clear recents tab please? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pankozin:
Use Gravity box. It works flawless. ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
[MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION], love your Rom on my Nexus 6. I use the Nova version and I flashed the Cataclysm Mod from [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] over the latest version Q.. Working flawlessly with Layers, Systemless Root and AP.

I loved your Google Play Roms when I had my Galaxy S4. Glad to have found your wonderful work with the Nexus 6 roms.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matthewdavis:
Use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.recently to give you a clear recents tab. I use titanium backup to initiate the reboot. I never have to reboot to recovery using this rom, so the times I do are so infrequent.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
I asked this question in another stock based ROM thread ..... Are most using this ROM using add ons like xposed to add to some customisability or just going with the native things. I miss battery percent that's readable and a few other things.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jprime1:
Actually, for me it sometimes doesn't appear
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
I used to need battery %, but with these releases the battery lasts so damn long I don't care anymore, also like many I only flash once a month now :P

For recovery once a month I type

Su

Reboot recovery

In terminal..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vazovskiiii:
I love this ROM and I'm always on last version as it releases :) no problem at all I'll write if any will be. I have downloaded setcpu and seted it on ondemand and max clock to 19xx and min 35 working great for now :)

glad your enjoying it :)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] adrman:
I thought Hellscore had wake gestures that could be enabled via an app like Kernel Aduitor or terminal commands. Not sure though as I never used the wake gestures.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
seems like your right, B5 is the superior kernel and its labeled stable, also the new update of Google keyboard seems borked, gonna tackle this tonight

so yeah, I'll have b5-zen stable compiled with LMY47Z stock ramdisk in a boot.img for the new and FINAL build tonight, Im simply gonna revert google keyboard to the version prior and let the market handle updates to the ROM, I don't want to update anymore, rather just enjoy my phone

as for wake gestures, I dont use em, they always wake my phone in my pocket =(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
and done, it took 4 builds but I got the ROM exactly where I want it

06/14/2015 (Final 5.1.1)
-hC-b5-zen stable
-Reverted Google Keyboard update to let market handle it
-Reverted build.prop tweak in regards to WIFI scanning

Enjoy your summer folks, see you when Official Android M images come out or anything new from Lollipop.

b5 is the right kernel to ship, b6 is experimental still while b5 is marked stable by Laurent Hess. I also had issues with google keyboard update last night and never felt right about it, I reverted to the previous version as it went in the ROM clean as butter and just let the market handle the updates for it, they changed something in this new version and its quite significant, I'd rather play it safe and make sure things are done the RIGHT way! Also the build.prop tweak that increased the scanning interval has been removed, I noticed zero difference with it so I just reverted back to stock, keep it clean and light ;) after all, it is lightROM

Thanks for all the support guys, I hope you enjoy this build of 5.1.1 over the summer months because I honestly don't think we will see another factory image until the fall when android M goes official. sorry i could not get the ROM exactly where I wanted in 1 go but now I feel like I have, I can sleep easily knowing I'm offering something super stable for users to flash in 1 go with a rock solid proven kernel with insane popularity among users here on Shamu XDA forums :)

now I hope the Galaxy S4 gets a new GPE release soon so I have something to work on, it's gonna be nice to not have to flash my daily phone to test things during development :) I plan to sit on this release until the new factory images come out

[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
Thanks for all you work. I still have my S4...my kids use it as a sort of Android iPod touch, and I have your latest on it. It runs incredibly. The S4 was a much better phone than people give it credit for. I mean, when the biggest complaints are irrelevant things like "it's too much like the S3" or "it's too plasticky", then you know its a good phone.

Going to flash this latest one later today. Hard too imagine it running better than with Imo, though. I'm getting ready to go overseas for a vacation (don't get too excited for me-it's to visit my in-laws), and I want to have a stable, near stock ROM to run, since I will be taking advantage of T-Mobile's free roaming and want to have a high probability of it working smoothly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tylog:
Do you Plan to make a Build with RRO/Layers ?

I suspect does not exist? If it does then sorry for the ignorance :)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] iainaaldrich:
This is stock. For layers you would need to make an aosp build. I think the idea is to keep this rom light and stock so layers would be going in a different direction.

Oh yes, my fail, I didn't read right and don't note is was stock not aosp. Thanks :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bleedos:
Arragaarrrrghhhhhh!!!

I'm struggling here! I switched to the Nexus 6 to stop flashing (too much time lost with that old S4) but what I read here makes me want to try it!! I must resist! I know it's quality work because Dan's a top developer!

I'll keep monitoring the thread and may jump in again when M will arrive!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
Enjoy your vacation :)

according to your sig your running stock, if that is accurate then I highly suggest you just use this, I'm done flashing until new factory images are available
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fantasy2c:
Just wanted to say the latest release is running fantastic for me, coming from aosip and with gravity box to change a few things this rom in rock solid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mashuto:
Just switched to try this rom today and so far, loving it. Was on an aosp rom for a bit, but realized all I really needed was root so I started looking for a stock rom and with the inclusion of hc, this is exactly what I'm looking for. Hc never quite ran well for me and always seemed to lag a bit here and there on other roms but I guess it's because I was flashing on top of the incorporated kernels.

Either way, hoping the battery life is great and since its stock I know I shouldn't have any of those weird little issues I would run I to.

Thanks for putting this together! Hopefully this might be what I need to stop flashing for a while.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fantasy2c:
I came from aosip and it was a good rom but have gotten my best battery life on this rom. Buttery smooth and everything works perfectly! I think you'll be very happy with it!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
I really don't think there is a better ROM/KERNEL combo atm, Im getting crazy good battery life aswell. I really took my time making this ROM for my own personal use and I'm glad to share it :)

Hello. Have encountered a problem with random reboots. Approx once a week or a week and a half when idle with screen on or off (rather off) phone reboots without an obvious reason. The issue occurs month or so. Does somebody have thoughts on this problem? Can't attach logcat now, coz saved it too late. Also using Xposed, Greenify and GB.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
"Xposed and Greenify", there is your culprit. Remove those and I guarantee that the reboots go away. If they don't, clean install with no additional mods. You shouldn't be having any issues with stock since it is incredibly stable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
xposed is more then likely the culprit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JustCreepin':
So I've been using this ROM for over 2 months, no issues. I finally decided I was tired of being encrypted and wanted to be decrypted. I booted into TWRP 3.0 and wiped everything but my internal storage (encrypted). I rebooted directly back into TWRP, flashed the ROM, then formatted my internal storage. I rewiped everything BUT /system and then rebooted.

Everything boots fine. I'm not encrypted (as expected and what I wanted). BUT, I lost root. I had to install SuperSU from TWRP to get root again.

Knowing this is a rooted ROM, I wondered why? I tried the process over again (wiping, formatting, etc), just to see. I STILL had to flash SuperSU from TWRP to get root.

For my own knowledge, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I shouldn't have to separately flash SuperSU, right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Seems to me it is the decrypting/formatting.

SuperSU systemless should be flashed as the last action. (Or the lite rom).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrMiami81:
AP working on this ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pankozin:
I figured out, tht it was (is) Greenify
