I've extracted Beltz's last two romzips.

In the February version are 211 files different compared with the previous version.

Dirty flashing latest rom(no gapps) works, but my black calendar, contacts etc needed reinstall.

Restored backup and tried a different update (incremental).

1. Flashed 211 different system files.

2. Magisk 15.3 and Safetynet fix

3. Kernel ElementalX 5.0.6.

4. Reboot and tada....

EDIT.

2. and 3. are probably not necessary. But the boot.img was different in the February Beltz rom.

Now it is clear that EX kernel works with Beltz latest rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
No xda-thread with links for Beltz roms, so posting it here, because the Beltz Oreo-rom is somewhat identical with the Nougat-rom in this thread.

Differences beltz_8.1.0-180130-shamu.zip and beltz_8.1.0-180208-shamu.zip concern 211 system files, mainly odex/vdex files.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
So, [MENTION=528201]NLBeev[/MENTION] I see that we run almost the same set-up but you have the know how for creating incremental updates. Since "we" don't really have any place in XDA for posting problems we may encounter would you considering creating maybe a Telegram, lets say from example unofficial Beltz ROM group?

So, once you do create the incremental update files for you and being kind enough to share with us. In this way we will have a correct place to talk about problems setups and "keep us" updated?

Just a proposition since I really liked your work with Stock Lite and incremental updates.

Anyways thank you very much!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
Ditto. It was hard to peel me away from "Stock Lite" but I've really fallen in love with Beltz.

This deserves repeating, battery life for me (Beltz 8.1) is outstanding considering the age of the Nexus 6. It may not be in the "Stock Lite" + Franco Kernel territory but I can hardly tell the difference.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] barnettejd:
Search on xda for Android Builders Collective. The dev for beltz posts his updates in the first "sticky" thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The Beltz rom looks good, but info and links are hard to find. That's why I post the Beltz, Magisk and EX links here.

Let's see if the Beltz ROMs will be renewed.

In the meantime I'll post incremental updates.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dparrothead1:
Has anyone tried Jimmy's ABC Rom?

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=240269

Edit: Pretty much the same as Beltz.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
Dude, thanks for the links ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Beltz - ABC

Indeed. Beltz is a few days newer. After removing the screenlock pin I've dirty flashed ABC over Beltz.

A lot of FC's but it works. Power menu is slightly different. When I use the app No wallpaper Beltz will set the black theme.

That did not happen with ABC. So . . . . back to Beltz.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dparrothead1:
I like Jimmy's work a lot. Used to use his Magpie Theme but it hasn't been updated in a couple of years.

What's added in your in your system update zip? Can it be used without a custom kernel???
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The update zip contains only the changed/new files of the system partition (no kernel). Compared with the previous rom-version.

I use this method to avoid the hassle of a clean flash. When it works system is updated. Root, settings and manual changes are kept.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
That happens with many layers.

That's why I use modded G-apps of TBO.

Calendar, contacts, dialer, Google app and keep.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Made an incremental update Beltz180208-180220. Only 168 different system files. But it didn't work. Bootloop.

Different boot.img. When I add the new boot.img to the incremental zip, it works. But lost root and after rerooting Safetynet failed.

So I restored Beltz180208 and wait for the next build.

(I didn't try a dirty flash of the complete rom).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
I flashed the latest build (180220) and Safetynet passed (after Magisk of course).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Thx. Did you have the stock kernel or ElementalX installed ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] giannis_mathiou:
I'm also on the latest Beltz with ElementalX 5.08 passing safetynet just fine. Although I didn't update from the previous build, it was clean install for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
Stock kernel and a clean install. On a different note, Android Pay has been updated to G Pay and and I have not tried to use it since the update. I'll keep you posted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Guapo613:
Just a quick update. G Pay (Android Pay) works on the latest Beltz with Magisk
[Nexus 6 Android Development] qtvvtx:
An incremental test-update-zip with boot.img and Magisk included worked, but some apps forced closed and needed clearing the data/cache.

The same FC's happen after a dirty flash of the complete Beltz-rom.

As long Oreo-roms need their own stock boot.img there's hardly advantage of an incremental update above a dirty flash of the original Oreo rom. The difference is the need of (re)flashing Gapps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Updating Beltz 180220 - Beltz180314.

Tried again an incremental update of 192 changed system files in the latest Beltz.

Didn't work.

Flashable zip ends correctly, but the N6 will not boot after flashing these system files.

Adding the boot.img didn't work either.

Every aosp-oreo-build has a different boot.img and the boot.imgs of other ROMs aren't compatible.

Updating Beltz by dirty flashing a new build, followed by gapps, and Magisk worked without issues.

ElementalX kernel 5.09, 5.10 and 5.11 did not work with the latest Beltz.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sd_matto:
For those of us late to the Beltz/ElementalX party, can someone please post the latest working ElementalX 5.08?

The EX Kernel Manager app only permits download of the latest ElementalX, v5.11, which per NLBeev bootloops.

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
Interesting. I'll do more research but if this is true, I will update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Chochiwpg:
Correct me if I am wrong, but this ROM is based on the factory image and not on AOSP source correct? Or is it a combination of factory image with AOSP commits added?

The only reason I ask is if this ROM is strictly based on the factory image, do you happen to also develop a pure, stock, vanilla AOSP version of the ROM as well? Just curious as this ROM is just what I'm looking for (feature wise) was just wondering if there is an AOSP version. If that makes sense.

Rom working great!! I enabled WiFi calling preferred..how do I know if its working?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kibmikey1:
A few possibilities. First, when you make a call, check the quick settings and see if it says wifi calling under the data wedge. If it doesn't, you could turn off cellular data and just have your wifi connected, if the call doesn't cut off, you're good to go. Finally, the testing menu will tell you. If you go into it with the phone connected to the call, and wifi calling is working, your network should read IWLAN, which is the 2.5 GHZ network T-mo uses for volte and wifi. One thing you might want to make sure of is to update you E911 settings in your myt-mobile.com profile. This will update your emergency settings to the 2.5 GHZ network and ensure a quicker connection to it. You can also have cell data always enabled and use aggressive handover, both available in developer options, which can make switching between the two more seamless. Hope these help!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidxxxxx:
Awesome thanks!! Just confirmed with cellular data off, and placed a call to voicemail just fine over WiFi.. This Rom is running really smooth!! Thanks for adding this feature!! Now I can use my phone for calls inside the office!!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The latest 7.1.1 Nougat versions are still on Afh.

N6F27M and NGI77B (Verizon).

N6F27M is most used, in US and EU.

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=181860

EDIT The difference with N8I11F is probably the radio; and the radio needs to be flashed separate.

Flashable radio of N8I11F is in the thread: Nexus 6 Radio Collection.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Maybe the moden from T-Mobile version has something changed I think can use Flashfire app to flash only the modem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The most used method to flash a radio is Twrp-recovery

I'm still using the radio 5,45 of Nougat.

Works also with Oreo,

Why do you need an other radio ?

[MENTION=528201]NLBeev[/MENTION] what is the safest way to use Magisk with stock Roms? Not sure if unsu zip still works for this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] qtvvtx:
I suppose you want to use Magisk instead of SuperSU with a stock ROM in this thread.

In that case you need to delete the folder rootzip from the ROM-zip.

Before flashing TWRP; wipe for factory reset.

Flash the modded ROM-zip and directly after that flash Magisk.

Btw I am using Oreo 8.1 Screwd-rom with Magisk 16.4 beta.

Just wondering if anyone here is on T-Mobile Prepaid and sees WiFi calling active? Supposedly on prepaid, it counts against your minutes anyway, plus I use Google Voice with Hangouts, so no big deal if it's not working for me, but all the talk has made me curious. I'm not seeing it as active though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bowser001:
I'm not in prepaid but I am on T-Mobile and Wi-Fi calling doesn't work on this ROM. The option is there in settings under "more" but it doesn't work or at least it doesn't state that you are in a Wi-Fi call. I turned off cellular and made a call while on Wi-Fi so I'm confused. To clarify it doesn't state you're on a Wi-Fi call but I was still able to make a phone call with cellular data off and Wi-Fi on. Go figure. However this ROM is awesome otherwise!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adrman:
I think you're just turning off mobile data, but still connected to the cell towers. You should see some indication that you're on a WiFi call if you actually are. However, your last statement is quite accurate. The new build is very nice regardless.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

Okay, a little update. It's the kernel. Hellscore isn't compatible yet. I just flashed ElementalX 2.0 M preview (yes it works on 5.1.1) and Wi-Fi calling works properly. You see T-Mobile WiFi Calling in the QS tab. I haven't run ElementalX before, but I figure I'll give it a few days and see. It does have a nice screen off gesture which eliminates one of the things I was using Gravitybox for.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
According to this post wifi calling works
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adrman:
I saw that as well, but it doesn't. Believe me I tried everything possible with Hellscore. I think people are confusing turning off mobile data and being able to make a call, with WiFi calling. This is what you should see on the QS pulldown if it is active.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] t0ny0:
As far as I know - Hells kernel does not yet support WiFi calling. Might also not support it any time soon. If wifi calling is needed - use a different kernel. I am on ATT/cricket and the mix between this rom and hells kernel = awesomeness, in its pure form.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
Make sure e911 is set up and your using the latest modem from the t-mobile factory image

can anyone 100% confirm wifi calling works on this stock kernel I posted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adrman:
Well, I flashed the stock kernel on top of ElementalX, but didn't wipe the caches before rebooting and came up with no wifi calling. The reason I mentioned wiping the caches is that after I restored my nandroid that had wifi calling working with ElementalX, when I booted up I also had no wifi calling indicated. I went back to recovery, wiped the caches, rebooted and voila, instant wifi calling. Unfortunately, I don't have time now to repeat the process with the stock kernel again to see if that actually was the problem. I do find having to wipe the caches with a kernel flash a little odd though. I never thought it was necessary.

Zephik posted this link to a flashable zip of the LYZ28E radio.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danvdh:
I've got mixed reports with b7 zen. It works for some, not at all for others. Of course only T-Mobile users need to worry, rest of the world including myself in Canada do not have wifi calling and need not worry, the option doesn't appear for us in settings, either way, stock kernel provided should do the trick for those of you on tmo that want WiFi calling on LightROM.

Otherwise b7 zen stable is incredible. Loving this kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] oldman_58:
I did some"Playing", I reloaded Light ROM and did not allow Google to restore settings, Apps and Data. WiFi calling is working using ZEN kernel.

A bit of a pain to manual load, I used Titanium and only restored Apps no data, anyone using T-Mobile want to give that a try and verify what I am experiencing?

If it works I see the phone with WiFi Signal in the notification bar:

I wonder if an app does something to User data that causes WiFi calling to stop. Is there a way to "look" at user data or is it in a protected area of storage?
