[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CFrance:
Another great point! I knew you guys were the people to ask! lol

What about rooting and unlocking? Would you suggest waiting on that as well? Is there really any reason to unlock and root if I won't be running CM? I was going to root so that I could decrypte but it sounds like the lag from encryption is fixed in 5.1.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Well I would guess you WILL want to unlock and root because who does want to be able to run a root level ad blocker? Who wants to wait on OTA for an update? Not me. :p

I got mine from Google, as well, and heres what I did:

Played with the phone in stock form for like an hour saw it was still on 5.01 even after updating

Decided this is not for me. I wanted my root apps and I wanted to copy all the stuff off my old phone with Titanium backup to the Nexus

Looked on the interwebs for the easiest way to get root

Found a tool from my old buddy WugFresh (I knew him in the Droid X days)

Prepared myself for a giant PITA night. Download, drivers, and programs, reading various sites, etc, etc, etc

Was freaking SHOCKED that the tool did ALL THIS for me. I mean I literally plugged in my phone and it collected and set up everything. (It also has a console if you feel the need to type in adb commands)

Was unlocked, upgraded, rooted with a custom recovery with all my apps copied over in less than an hour

Sent Wuggy some $$$ and a thank-you note

You only need to decrypt, IMO, if you are running high end games that demand that level of performance. I have not seen any lag myself. Again this is my own personal experience. Your results may vary. 5.1 has optimized out many of the issues I heard about in 5.01 or so I have been told.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlin:
I unlocked and rooted right away, mainly for the ability to use Titanium Backup to setup my phone and in the event that I installed a custom ROM. Outside of TB, I haven't really needed or used root, but it sure is nice to have. I played with a few custom ROMs before 5.1 came out but mostly felt that I preferred the stock experience. I downloaded the MCR modpack found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58019266&postcount=1 but have yet to install it. If/when I do, root will become more of a requirement for my uses.

I came from a Verizon Note 4 which could not be rooted. I got used to not playing with my phone and just using the stock experience. Its nice that the stock experience on the N6 is so fantastic and stable. It makes it easy to just use the phone without worry of fixing, modding, and adding features, though I still enjoy those aspects too which is why I'll likely use MultiROM next time I decide to install something custom.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Dude are you somehow tied up with this Tool Kit? You`re promoting it on so many threads i`am starting to get the impression you`re not quite objective about it ;) There is no harm in using toolkits by xperienced users and i`am sure its well build, but for newbies its very dangerous because they`re lost if something should go wrong.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Which is exactly why I'm promoting it it is almost bulletproof. what's the alternative loading all the different tools and drivers they need and following some instructions found on the internet.

And as I explained in my post you can just download the tool to make sure you have all the drivers and connections. use it to get the proper files you need and then run the command line like a power user if you want to feel better about yourself.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I will never use/promote a Toolkit even if it seems very good for the reason i posted earlier. Flashing manualy in fastboot doesn`t take more time and makes users more aware about their phone and knowledge of it and gives you control over whats happening ;) Just my 2 cents.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
My two cents. I don't think you've dealt with enough newbies. on another forum it was me and a group of others that would help people get their phones out of boot loops and soft bricks. I have literally helped hundreds of people get their phone back.

even if you look here on XDA you'll see people trying to flash the wrong files download files that are not even for their phone, are following a dated instruction or don't really understand how directories work.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CFrance:
Thanks for the info! I actually had just downloaded this program over the weekend and was planning on using it once I do decide to root... which I am thinking will be as soon as I get the phone. :D lol other than that I think I am going to run it on stock for a while at first and wait until CM is on 5.1 for a while....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CFrance:
Thanks! I am planning on rooting and unlocking right away for TB and maybe a couple other little things like lightflow just for fun. :) Being the nerd that I am, I have a feeling that once I start playing with the whole rooting, unlocking, and flashing stuff I am going to really enjoy it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CFrance:
Thanks for the reply! I see what you are saying, I had already come across Wug's toolkit over the weekend and was planning on using that because it seemed so simple.

However, seeing how I still have two and a half days until my phone will be here, maybe I will look into the manual way a little more to decide which route I want to go.... Any suggestions on where to start? Threads, videos, etc?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mymusicathome:
Boot into download mode, Unlock bootloader, reboot, boot back into download mode, fastboot twrp recovery, boot into recovery, reboot via recovery and install su when prompted. When you boot into android you will be prompted to update su. You now are rooted. Only other thing I would think about when you first get your device is if you want forced encryption. You will be required to wipe SD data if you decide to go with non forced encryption.

I loved cm on my previous touchwiz devices because I like stock/asop style. I find cm has bugs in early os update releases. I would only install cm if i took advantage of themes which I don't.

Hi everybody...

Like many many people, I've following some threads here at XDA about the releases of WM6 Roms since de first XDA-Live to the newest black 3.0 rom and all of them have a lot of really good things...

I've learned to make custom splash screens thanks to the guides of MrVanx and using the Tadzio tools could modify an OS.nb (the one from the Doppod release thread) file in order to free some memory by cutting off things like the sample pictures and videos, ringtones and trash like that that is embledded in the ROM...

Now I would like to go the full way and customize even more my own ROM...I would like to remove some programs and utilities (in fact for me they are useless :rolleyes: ) and even attached to the ROM some other programs like JasJamming or Dutty have already done but here comes my problem...I'm not such a guru and still have a lot to learnd about modifying a ROM and the question is as stated on the title: Where can I read and learn about the diferent files in the ROM??? :confused:

I dont want to remove important folders from the rom... but the name of the files dont tell anything by itself (at least not at this point to me) so I really will apreciate if you can point me or give some suggestions about where to star...

I think its a lot better to anoy you with this post, maybe get some usefull help and thake the time to learn; than screw my TyTn and be banned after posting something stupid like I brick my device what to do ...:D

Thanks in advance !!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lun4cy:
Hey there,

i've been using SlimKat for a while now but was bugged by the white Dialer and Contacts theme so i looked for carbon themed ones here on the forums and replaced them with mine.

(first deleted the old ones - reboot - copy the new ones into /system/app - reboot)

They look good but they won't work properly - means FC all the time.

So i did the same procedure to use the original ones again but now they give me FC's also and hence won't work.

Now i have 2 questions:

What have i done wrong (not even the old ones will work)?

Is there a possibility to get the attached ones working - if not - how do i get the original ones back to work or does anyone has carbon themed ones for SlimKat?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
Hi All. I'm seeing a little bit of inconsistencies with my FireTV Box. I wonder if it is randomly dying but I hope not.

1. When I play a RTSP stream on Kodi and or the OPlayer App, the stream stops in about 10 minutes and I have to restart it.

2. When I play movies from the network, the movies stop randomly and I have to resume.

I'm on a wired connection throughout. I wonder whats the issue as I've made about 22 firetv's and the same stream is played on multiple firetv's which I've made with similar configs and those don't stop. Given that those are on different networks.

I know this is a hard one to figure but any guidance or insights would help. I'm on SPMC the latest one. All other builds of firetv's which I've made are on the nightlies of Kodi which had the resume fixed. I have tried the same Kodi nightly and that too stops the stream.

I have a cordless phone on top of the firetv. Does that matter with heat etc? I can't think of anythign else.

[E 2015 General] bobbyphoenix:
I don't know if it's well known, but I found the overall speed/performance to be a little slow. I'm talking about opening apps, and loading them, before they can be used. A simple thing I did was turn off all Moto stuff (Assist, Actions, Display). Not that the phone was bad as it's a very smooth overall device, but after turning off Moto, it really made a difference. All apps open and load much faster, and the UI seems snappier too. I know this may not be good for those who use Moto, but for me the trade off of turning it off is better than the little times I used it. Just thought I'd share in case there are people who are looking to gain a bit of speed.
[E 2015 General] bobbyphoenix:
Another tip is to enable developer options, and change the animations from 1x to .5x. Huge difference in opening apps, and general overall use.

On the topic of improving performance, is there a list of bloatware/apps that are safe to freeze/remove?
[E 2015 General] bobbyphoenix:
There's not really any bloat. Since the phone is not carrier locked you only get three apps not from Google. Alert, Migrate, and Moto. I guess if you really wanted you can disable the Google apps you don't use, but they are just the standard apps you would use anyway (at least I do) like Maps, Gmail, Hangouts, etc.
