[Nexus 6  General] rcll:
Thanks, your post was very helpful. So far I was able to add the creator column to the sms table for sms to work and to the pdu table for mms to work. It seems everything functions now. Do you remember having to add 'creator' to any other tables?

With SQLite Master Pro I did:

alter table sms add column creator integer;

alter table pdu add column creator integer;

to

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

because sms and mms didn't work, showing errors similar to this in logcat:

E/SQLiteLog( 1544): (1) table sms has no column named creator

I think it was only those two tables. Glad it's working! Since you're just doing it now, maybe post the locations here for anyone who's searching :)
[Nexus 6  General] Note10.1Dude:
OK, I guess this is a lounge topic. Why the hell did they have to put the USB port backwards. I have a couple of docks, they work with a Moto G, Moto X, even Samsung devices, but on my new Nexus 6, the screen faces backward.

While the Nexus 6 is great in some ways, I wish I had not lost my 2014 Moto X. I keep trying to wave my hand in front of it.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Actually you can probably just take the dock apart and rotate the USB port. I have done it for other devices and docks before.
[Nexus 6  General] mo2002:
ive found a bunch of different apn settings. if you still have a n6 cant you screenshot or type the settings you have assigned?
[Nexus 6  General] IOmega666:
Hey guys, what's the best ROM out there that stays more like Android Stock? I mean, not based on CM or like that, something maybe based of the real firmware for the Nexus 6, don't know if I'm explaining well.
[Nexus 6  General] AhmadOkda:
pure nexus
[Nexus 6  General] PiperBen85:
Pure Nexus. I'm using the Layers Edition and love it.
[Nexus 6  General] IOmega666:
Thanks to both of you. Gonna try it :D

Layers is like CM Theme Engine?
[Nexus 6  General] AhmadOkda:
yes
[Nexus 6  General] Evontroy:
Received my Nexus 6 today boys!! Going to root it and install Cyanogen mod tomorrow. Wish me luck.
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
Good luck and congrats. But I would recommend Pure Nexus rom as it is the best for our device.
[Nexus 6  General] Evontroy:
Thanks I'll give that a look.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Yup agree, Pure Nexus rom is the best overall rom with the least (if not none) bugs :good:
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
Why do you need root to install cyanogenmod?
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
I would be careful with CM based roms. If you are looking for something then I would focus on AOSP based and not CM based, You will have far less issues
[Nexus 6  General] droidstyle:
CM is a bug fest...Pure Nexus is great, but I prefer Lite Rom.
[Nexus 6  General] immiMIK:
Yeah cm is bug fest for sure. [emoji23]
[Nexus 6  General] Beej1970:
Hey all, I'm about to become the proud owner of a Nexus 6 64g.

After doing some searching, and not having much luck, I have to ask some newb questions. I am a Verizon customer, I know that the XT1103 is supposed to work fine with their service. My question is how do I get the thing activated? I did stop at a Verizon store to grab a nano Sim. They told me they'll need the phone as well on order to activate it. I don't want them putting any crap on my baby! It's this really the only way to get out done?
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
Totally agree. I've tried many roms over the last 4 years, and nothing has come close to the stability and functionality of Pure Nexus. I tried CM13 recently, what a joke. Got rid of it after 30 minutes. I won't even try anything else from this point on because pure nexus is so good.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
I prefer stock Android based roms for my Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Google=AOSP=Nexus.. win,win,win
[Nexus 6  General] shadowcore:
From my experience. pure nexus was buggy. At least the CMTE version. FCs, and random restarts, and the CMTE crashing.

Also, most if not all roms come preinstalled with SuperSU, including pure nexus. DarkKat doesnt come with SuperSU preinstalled, which is ok.

As for CM, so far, I am happy with it. Using one of the latest nightlies without any google services.

I would suggest anybody try stock rom, with removed google services and Superuser as rooting method. Its the most stable route.
[Nexus 6  General] scryan:
CMTE is the newest branch of PN, its only had two releases so far so slightly less stability should not be overly surprising... But I have had zeros force closes with it, and really haven't experienced any issues with performance or stability on the CTME branch.

I don't think its quite fair to complain about without listing what theme you were using. I've seen HUGE issues caused by layers, even to the point where the phone couldn't be used and issues had to be fixed via recovery... But really that doesn't mean layers is bad, it means some themes cause issues... and the same can be said for CTME.
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
I've actually never tried a nexus 6 custom kernel or rom. But I love xposed. Especially gravitybox.

I made this video of the tweaks I've done with gravitybox

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byUN81IdY3M
[Nexus 6  General] :
On Omni right now. Solid, and multi windows is nice! :good:
[Nexus 6  General] sumner2q:
Is there a rom that has the bugs in multi window worked out I like multi window but it is buggy.

and what kernel is good for a stock debloated rom because my battery life sucks on hell kernel
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
Also roms= buggy. Stock based roms= Stable. CM=???
[Nexus 6  General] TheAceOfSpades:
I'm loving this phone :) I have it set up like a Sense 7 rom though haha I like the speed and the added mods that come with AOSP but with the look and feel of Sense... If that makes sense.
[Nexus 6  General] superTard:
Wolfen - Does your signature imply that you like Ubuntu? Or is it saying that you have Ubuntu on your nexus 6? I sooo want Ubuntu touch dual booted on my Moto Nexus 6!
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I've been more than a bit curious about that OS as well. Just finished setting up my build environment, and was going to sync sources for it tonight. I know it's not directly supported by Ubuntu, but I'm hoping to maybe port it to the shamu device.
[Nexus 6  General] imarq24:
OK here's the deal in looking at getting a Nexus 6 currently rocking a G2 rooted with Blissmallow. But wanted some input is it still worth it to get a Nexus 6 or should I go for a 6p
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
How hung up are you on the "Latest and greatest" tagline? You're rocking the G2 still, so I'm guessing you balance price vs long term reliability and needs. Go for the 6, in my opinion. It's solid and far cheaper than the 6P.

I had a G3 before I got my Nexus 6 in September last year, but only because I switched carriers, and couldn't bring my VZW G2 to Sprint. Otherwise, I might still be using the G2 today. It was one phone that I greatly miss.
[Nexus 6  General] imarq24:
Lol yeah still rocking with the G2 but it's a solid phone. And thanks for your input that's what i was looking for...looks like I going to cop a Nexus 6 64gig

---------- Post added at 02:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Also how do the cameras compare from n6 to g2
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
I have Ubuntu on my laptop. I'm satisfied with android on my phone. I'm a linux fan, and Ubuntu and Android are both linux, so I'm good. If I had another phone, I'd like to try Ubuntu on it. Perhaps in the near future.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I was messing around with the Ubuntu Touch sources all yesterday and this morning. It's all still based on Android 4.4.2, so it took forever to even get it to start building. After I began, it kept throwing erros nonstop, and I finally decided that it wasn't worth the trouble of trying to port 4.4.2 to a device that began its life with 5.

There's been very little activity on the gerrit. 47 new commits since December of 2014, and they're still based on an outdated OS version. I gave up trying to make an old system work with new hardware, sorry. At this point in the Ubuntu Touch game, it's more a novelty to me than anything that might have some sort of benefit over the very actively developed Android OS. That's just from the standpoint of getting the build to work at all. Who knows what sort of monster bugs it would have if it even booted, let alone the app/program availability for the OS in comparison to current development on the phones as it is.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
There's a new version called Ubuntu Unity 8. Here's a video of it: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/02/ubuntu-tablet-convergence-xda-video
[Nexus 6  General] Haligan:
Glad I looked at this thread. I am also looking at buying a 6. Upgrading from a Galaxy S4 . Thanks for the opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
Unity 8 is the WM, from what I understand, because that's available now to preview on your desktop. Looks like the mobile OS is "Convergence"?

Either way, it's worth looking into

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

After looking into it a bit further, the phone OS is still the same source I was messing around with as of now. Convergence appears to maybe be a description of the process they're going through to unify phone/tablet/desktop OS into one happy and unified blob.
[Nexus 6  General] imarq24:
Have a noob ? First just purchased a n6 however on not be too rooting in on a g2 with blissmallow. Now for the question which is the best way to root the n6 from what I'm seeing like like there is couple different ways. Can someone shed some light on this for me. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
Unlock bootloader with fastboot

Fastboot flash TWRP

Flash SuperSU 2.67

Follow the directions for systemless root HERE and if you're interested in Android Pay, continue to read HERE

There's really only one good way to do it anymore, if you're staying on stock.
[Nexus 6  General] imarq24:
Actually I'll most likely go custom ROM like bliss ... With that said this is the way to root
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I'm not familiar with how Bliss is set up. It may be pre-rooted. If that's the case, then you really don't have to worry about it at all. The G2 is unlike the Nexus 6 in that it has a locked bootloader.

You have to acquire for first, then flash TWRP (or whatever recovery you like). With the Nexus devices, you unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery with fastboot. There's no need to root for that. Some users don't ever root, and just use the recovery to make backups. If you DO decide to root it, you just flash a root zip in recovery. No crazy hacks or patching/bumping kernels and roms.

---------- Post added at 09:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

You have to try hard to brick it. Relocking the bootloader while running a custom ROM and kernel can cause it to not boot. You might still be able to get into the bootloader and easily fix it. Not sure, because I've never tried b0rking it beyond repair
[Nexus 6  General] superTard:
Bought my nexus 6 for longevity. I have had it for a year and treat it nicely. Battery life is still awesome and it has all the features and hardware to keep up with the latest. Not big on biometric unlock, which seems to be what the new phones are about...
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
Me neither. I've got a 2014 moto 360 with smartlock feature keeping my N6 phone unlocked whenever watch is connected.

I only unlock once a day first thing in the morning (for some reason it locks overnight everynight) or when I leave my watch behind, which is very rare.
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
After 4hrs of inactivity it autolocks I believe
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
Thanks, that's probably the reason.

Hearing all the recent discussion about apple unlocking, the fact that android doesn't lock after a certain number of failed attempts worried me a little (I do know there is some increase in time delay after failed attempts, but the details are uncertain and complicated enough that it didn't give me a completely safe feeling)

... So I went ahead and increased my pin from 4 digits to 8 digits for increased security in the event I lose my phone. There's no longer any incentive to use a short pin, now that I rarely have to enter the pin (due to smart lock)
[Nexus 6  General] knevelsg-j:
So I dropped my Nexus 6 on industrial concrete floor today, needless to say it did not end very well...

I absolutely loved my Nexus 6 but wil be switching over to a 6p tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help and support guys!
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
R.I.P.
[Nexus 6  General] Planterz:
New Nexus 6 (64gb, blue) owner here. I've been using the OnePlus One for the last year, and it's been great, but it wasn't quite everything I wanted in a phone. And it wasn't freaking $700 either. But 5.5" isn't big enough (giggity), and I hate the bottom-firing speakers.

Got my brand new Nexus 6 off Swappa for $340. The screen is absolutely gorgeous. I was worried about brightness (or lack of it) because some reviews I read said it was dim, but it's far from dim. Must be because it's AMOLED. 40% brightness is plenty at home in my dreary apartment (might need to boost it at work though). And that extra screen space makes all the difference in the world when reading eBooks (just started A Feast for Crows), playing games, and watching videos. I've only had it a couple days and already my OPO feels quaintly small.

CPU bin is 8. Could be better, could be worse. Got a TGSP, a Diztronic Ultra and Spigen Fusion. I like the Spigen, but it should have occurred to me that a clear back and my job environment immersed in corn meal wouldn't be a great combination. The Diztronic feels more secure anyway, even if it is fugly. I wish Diztronic made a "smoke" colored case for the Nexus 6 like they did for my Nexus 4, so I could still see the Nexus logo on the back.

The speakers are great. Not just the front-facing aspect, but they actually have some depth and punch to them.
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
I agree, the 6" screen size is great.

My 5" Galaxy S4 (which felt big when I got it), now feels puny.

I had to Google cpu binning nexus 6 to find this

Mine is bin 7
[Nexus 6  General] RiggyRiggs:
The only thing.. This huge screen spoiled me. It would be so hard to go to anything smaller.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
You might like this one: http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Googl...id=1456723477&sr=8-1&keywords=supcase+nexus+6

Great grip, pretty good protection, and frosted back.

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Same here. I hope they offer another 6" Nexus down the road. I wouldn't mind a 6.2" screen if they can keep the bezels small. It eliminates the need for a tablet. Even a 5" screen seems tiny now. I don't know how anyone can use a 4.5 or 4.7 screen. They seem like a little kids toy or something from a gumball machine.
[Nexus 6  General] leondestiny:
Hey guys ! i have been a Nexus 6 owner since like .. nearly a year now i believe.

and i have received the device with faulty screen but its still usable (the defect screen issue is a gradient black bar and only appears on Solid Backgrounds like light grey/orange/blue etc. , so i love using black themes as Black hides it comletely!)

overall usage is pretty good , i dont notice the defect in screen at all. and i love the phone alot but i have another annoying issue :/ ..

it happens ocassionally, the issue is that the screen splits in half vertically and it freaks me out every time it does that =_= and it fixes itself only when i press Power button to put screen off and then back on and the graphic glitch is gone :/ anyone else experiencing this issue..?

it happened with most ROMS i have tried , so it isnt a Rom/Kernel issue i believe.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
I have never experienced it myself, but I have read various reports of a similar N6 bug.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

I suggest that you Google search the N6 rom development threads.
[Nexus 6  General] omaralkha99:
just ordered a nexus 6, any recommended roms to try out first?
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
Cataclysm Mod is the best! You flash it over stock or a debloated stock Rom, such as [MENTION=4830253]Danvdh[/MENTION] 6.0.1 light stock Rom.
[Nexus 6  General] NOSTALGIA:
feel stock first and if u feel the need to use custom roms then theres a lot on the development threads
[Nexus 6  General] omaralkha99:
I already know how stock feels like :) had a nexus 5. And looking at reviews I think im going to want a better kernel/rom for battery, looking for atleast 4.5 sot during the day. and I love customization as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Nitro1max1:
Definitely go for PureNexus, extremely stable and some nice features
[Nexus 6  General] omaralkha99:
Definitely will give that one a shot since, it seems to be most know as well
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
My Nexus 5 did that before the screen completely died. Be prepared to get a new phone.

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

I also agree Pure Nexus is the best. I've tried every major rom and nothing else comes close in stability and features. I won't even try anything else now.
[Nexus 6  General] leondestiny:
new phone hm, i wont be able to get one for a while ,are you sure it will die soon? ;__;

i love this phone, but seriously i will not get another Nexus.. this one came in box super new in package and out of the box comes with a Defected screen.. it does not affect the overall usage and i got used to it like i said.

but the new issue which happens every now and then is the split screen< it freezes and when i scroll around it looks horrible! it only fixes after i switch off screen and switch it back on, and well i am trying some different governor in custom kernel to see if it will not happen again ,

but this issue never happened to me during the first 3-5months... happened some month ago , and i own the nexus6 since nearly a year. hmm.. what happened to yours that you changed it bro? the nexus 5 of yours, was it unusable after a while when that split screen issue came up?
[Nexus 6  General] seabro01:
Pure Nexus and ElementalX kernel
[Nexus 6  General] wolfen69:
You're really not going to buy another Nexus? Every phone manufactured has a certain % that will be defective. There is no such thing as 100% perfect manufacturing. No matter what the product, there will be 5-10% of people that will be dissatisfied with their purchase. You just happen to be unlucky and get a bad one. There will be people that will get a bad Samsung S7 when it comes out. There's no avoiding it. Every single phone will have a certain # of bad units. It doesn't mean you will have a problem with another Nexus phone, and as a matter of fact you will probably get a good one just like most people.

I'll never understand why people give up on certain products because they got a bad one. It goes to show that the average person doesn't realize that all manufactured items have some defective units that get shipped.
[Nexus 6  General] leondestiny:
hm, true.. then maybe i will save up for the Nexus 6p.
[Nexus 6  General] e34v8:
Sold my Galaxy S6 and bought a Nexus 6. For me, the S6 was perfect in terms of hardware. Screen is with no competition, camera also, and so on... But, and it's a big but :D , the software... Oh man that crappy Samsung software. It's not slow, but UI is nowhere near to 60fps in scrolling and transitions. The RAM management is an epic fail. The worst part is the SoC. The SoC itself is a piece of art, but nothing is optimized for it. Samsung does not provide any useful code. Chrome... Chrome stutters like hell on some sites. My old Nexus 5 ran Chrome perfectly smooth and it's a 2013 phone. My LG G3 also. Nexus 6 - superb! But the S6, which has the best SoC from the four, shutters. In some other apps also. The S6 finaly received 6.0.1 and the problems remained the same. Also because of Exynos 7420, there are no functional AOSP or CM roms. Soo, I could not stand TW any more. I'm back in the Nexus team. Coming from TW, I can really appreciate the performance of optimized stock pure Android.

I just wanted to share my experience and say, if someone is thinking of buying a Samsung flagship, just don't. Unles you don't care about software performance and user experience. Hardware is perfect.
[Nexus 6  General] Planterz:
I see that you've reconsidered, but I feel compelled to say that swearing off Nexus devices because of a manufacturing issue makes no sense. So far, there have been 2 HTC, 2 Asus, 3 Samsung, 3 LG, 1 Motorola, and 1 Huawei made devices. That's 6 manufacturers. Some cheaply made, some very premium. If you have an issue with a manufacturer, I can understand that. But that has nothing to do with it being a Nexus.
[Nexus 6  General] leondestiny:
man i friggin love this phone, i wont swap it for any other unless it breaks haha, or the split screen glitch goes nuts on me..

i have flashed Lean Kernel < this supposedly is best to get rid of split screen bug to show up at times.

i have flashed it for a day now and so far no Split screen! and i can live with the 'defect screen ,the gradient dark line that is only visible on certain solid backgrounds'

as it does not affect the overall usage at all, i use blackish themes and this big boy is awesome.

i plan to hold onto it until it dies or something, easily one of the best phone i have owned.

to edit: i understand what u guys meant, it is not Nexus fault for these hardware issues< etc. i would have to blame Motorola XD haha and i guess i was just somewhat unlucky on this one.

cause i am sure these defects happen to 1 out of 100 users.
