VZW phones ship with LMY47E. So you are up to date. I would also recommend that you unlock bootloader as soon as you get it, because it wipes data. Then you can wait a while and decide if you want to install TWRP and root.

Is the camera worse on aosp ROMs vs bone stock ? I don't own a n6 yet

sent from your moms phone
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDogg54:
That depends which camera application the rom comes with. Some roms have the stock camera & some use the AOSP camera - they're very similar but the AOSP has fewer options. They take identical pictures though. If you want better images then a 3rd party camera app is the ticket.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 93fuelslut:
So a 3rd party camera takes more clear pics? IDC abt filters or effects. Just clarity

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
Yes, definitely. For instance, AOSP camera does not have HDR+ - Google Camera does.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDogg54:
Some could, but you'd have to trial & error it for yourself. Nexus has a really great camera so the shots with stock or AOSP are perfectly acceptable, but there'll be options & possibly better images with some 3rd party apps.

RANDOM SHUTDOWNS

Hi I recently bought a N6 on eBay, reported to have random factory resets up to 3 times per day. After running on latest stock for a few days, all was well, then I had a couple of shutdowns (on SatNav and a voice call) - it would power up again happily though with everything still in place. I then installed PureNexus with ElementalX kernel, wondering if that would sidestep possible memory issues that I read about. I ran stress tests in Antutu and have seen battery voltage sometimes dipping below their redline (approx 3.4V). Once during a benchmark test the battery level suddenly showed 0% (from 60% just before) and the system shutdown - perhaps this is what happened on the previous two occasions. Should I do a battery replacement (looks pretty easy and cheap) or does this sound like a more serious hardware failure? Many thanks, Geoff

TWRP 3.2.1-0 bootloop installing lineageOS

Hi, I have tried installing lineageOS using TWRP. At reboot I see the lineage animation and then it goes back to TWRP. Any advice is appreciated!

The most common reason for this problem is your not running the newest version of TWRP for your device.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
You should be on apq8084-72.04. You need to pull it from the October 2017 release from the factory image page.

It might be easier to just return to full stock with that image, reinstall twrp, take a nandroid [emoji6], then try lineage oreo again.

Need a ROM/Kernel combo

Hello,

I am a N6 user and a noob. Used to run 6.0.1 for a long time. Recently by accident I upgraded to 7.1.1.

I was on 6.0.1 just to have xposed and some other tweaks a custom kernel(think it was elemental) gave me back then. I also had notification enabled which lit up the Led for a notification. I was also rooted.

With that in the background,I am looking for some advice from some of the more experienced users here.

I am hoping somebody could chime with a ROM/Kernel combo which would enable me to get back to where I was in terms of functionality. I am currently rooted and already have TWRP recovery.

I am not a power user at all and for the most part my phone lasts me 2 complete days, before I need a recharge. I understand that Xposed is available on Oreo 8.1, albeit for 64 bit. I dont mind trying it some 32 bit translated binaries.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
You can compare all of the available Oreo ROMs for the N6 in the ROM Repository - Info / Open Discussion on all '30' Oreo ROMs. That thread is updated regular and the ROMs are listed in the first several posts.

Using Magisk or SuperSU, any room, including stock 7.1.1, can be rooted easily.

If you really want your previous setup, you can always return to the 6.x stock ROM you were using before. Just grab the ROM from the Google Factory images page. Instructions are in that page. Make sure you back up your user data (internal storage) if you choose this route.

How good is this phone in 2018? I am thinking on getting a refurbished one for $130. Would it be worth it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
There are plenty of people who just won't get a newer phone because currently none have all of the features of this one. If the refurbishment is well done, it has a good new battery, wireless charging works, maybe has a warranty, then in my opinion it's worth it. It runs well on Oreo (custom ROM) and is all I feel that I need.

If Powershell isn't doing the job, close it. There is a reason as to why tutorials are not written with Powershell in mind, and the change in syntax is only part of it.

Press and hold the Windows key on your keyboard, then press R to call up the run box. Type "cmd" in the run box and press Enter. That will fire up the DOS command prompt and then you can follow the instructions you see for unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP.

Get rid of the toolkit. That's a rabbit hole you do NOT want to go down.

Hello, not sure if this is the right thread to be posting this in but I do own a Nexus 6p and I am a noob. It says ask anything so here goes...I am trying to root my phone mainly because I want to open up more resources, get rid of certain programs, try out new rooms and I'm interested in development. But another more pressing reason now is because I believe my phone has been hacked. It, along with the last two phones I've had (I've been changing phones to run from whatever is happening.) changes security settings on it's own, goes through batteries way to quickly and uses data when it shouldn't be. Certain options in settings have been grayed out and others keep getting switched back from where I put them. I absolutely cannot run adb because I cannot get my computer to recognize them. I can't run adb over WiFi either. I've tried different computers, operating systems and everything I know to do. I've spent weeks (literally weeks) trying different suggestions from different websites and tutorials and nothing works. I've used Windows, Linux and OSX. I even payed one click root to do it and they couldn't either. I've been looking at what logs and other info I can get from apps but it's limited info because I don't have root. I have read some manifest docs and even though I'm a noob they just don't sound right and certain apps permissions are way out there. I've checked call logs through two carriers, T-Mobile and now Verizon and both indicate that my phone is sending back to back texts and making phone calls that I didn't make. And I mean a lot of them. I've even made it a point to leave my phone at home all day and not use it and my call logs have still indicated usage. I really need some help...I don't know what to do at this point, I feel defeated, angry and frustrated. I believe that it has something to do with firebase and possibly my ex-wife. About a year ago I found an .apk file in her Google drive called ( truthspy.apk ). I did some research and it wasn't good. This was like 5 phones ago and she hasn't had physical access to my last few phones. I'm not sure what's going on but I know for a fact something is going on and Im respectfully requesting someone's help. Is there something that I can do like invoke a log or bug report or go somewhere and take a screen shot to someone something that they would be able to look at and tell if it wasn't right or that something was going on?

Thanks.

That's a lot all at once. Try to ask for help with just one problem at a time, that's way easier to answer.

This is a Nexus 6 forum. Most of us (me included) don't know the Nexus 6P.

In many cases, a factory reset will get rid of malware on the phone. But no guarantees.

A good first goal is to unlock the bootloader. Search Google for "nexus 6p unlock bootloader". If in doubt, ask again.

Generally happens when the battery voltage drops. It's an excessive safety precaution, to avoid sudden power-off.

If your battery is wearing down (you get sudden power-offs for other reasons), replace it.

If your battery is still good, most custom roms or custom kernels have reduced these precautions.

Want to root Nextbook Ares 8 (NXA8QC116)

It is very strange for me to post here, since the devices I owned were pretty simple and easy to root, (Nexus 7, Lenovo Tab 7 Essentials). They only needed an .apk file to be run, or needed the KingoRoot treatment, or needed a very highly polished and refined toolkit with almost 0 risks like WRT. But now I have come across a device on which root is absolutely a must!

Introducing the Nextbook Ares 8... This cheap $70-80 dollar tablet was gifted to me by my Uncle, while it was on sale on Walmart. This piece of junk tablet has decent specs, has quite the high DPI screen, and has almost no complains, except one.... IT IS SLOWWW!! The monkeys who developed this device apparently had the reaction times of a chimpanzee as they decided to enable force-encrypt on an Intel® Atom Processor, which makes everything lag horribly.... Signing into Google Accounts takes around 7 actual minutes (3 of them thanks to the keyboard initializing), and the fact that 5.0 is the only update for this device (I hear there's a memory leak on all devices with 5.0?) makes it practically impossible to use.

All this introduction is due to the fact that I need to get two things done if I want to use this device ever again...

1) Attain Root, as this device is surprisingly secure and can't be rooted with .apks, so I need to mess with 'adb' and 'fastboot', things which I have only ever read about but never had to use them. And even if I did manage to root the device I'd still have to ...

2) Remove Encryption: Now I already searched for this in Google, and there seems to have been a person who managed to make a lot of progress and shared his work, but now I can't download those files (he probably deleted them due to people not thanking his work, very strange). I spent an hour reading into it and it apparently involves using a modified boot.img file to prevent the tablet from encrypting everything when it is first turned on.

I need to learn how to handle things like these, I already have some experience in doing technical things like reinstalling Windows, using terminal commands, etc.: But this is a very new territory for me and I don't want to remain a noob forever. I wish to gain knowledge and use that knowledge to solve real world problems like these. Sooooo where do I begin? I already had problems like 'can't find files to download' and 'my devices is not being detected in adb devices' and I don't know what to do at this point. All I know is I have a problem to fix, and some determination to fix it with.

If any pros would like to spend a bit of their time and help me out, I'd be very obliged. Please and thanks...

If you're currently on a custom ROM and want to go back to stock, you want a factory image - not an OTA - and you should use the latest one, which can be found at the bottom of the shamu section.

Note: You will have to back up your internal storage prior to downgrading to a stock version as the storage MUST be wiped if I recall in order to prevent a bootloop.

Unless you have previously done something special to your phone, I don't think you have any way of resetting it without the key. (You might have installed a custom rom with a reboot-to-recovery option. Or you might have activated adb, and be able to use that to reboot recovery. But neither way will work out-of-the-box).

I suggest you bite the bullet and order a new set of keys. They are only around $2 from China, and if you read a guide for replacing the battery, you should be well prepared to do this. Oh - and if your battery is old, you may as well replace that at the same time.
