And why are you posting in a Nexus 6 thread?
[Nexus 6  General] StakMak99:
I'm posting with my Nexus 6 I've had since release, I thought this was the "chill zone" and anything could be asked up to and including recipes, according to Mr Stark. I was reaching out to people I respect their OBJECTIVE OPINIONS, everything I've learned I learned right here on XDA because I followed what was said, READ,READ,READ.

Well sir, we can't all be perfect like you.Down here on earth,we mere mortals occasionally are really telling the truth,but oh how I do yearn and aspire to be you,why, how do you get such a BIG headed BRAIN and ego thru doorways?
[Nexus 6  General] JavaTiggy:
It just makes zero sense why you would ask a Mac related question in a N6 Lounge...it clearly has nothing to do with the phone. This fact is completely separate from the fact that your question inherently seems sketchy whether it is a true scenario or not. In a case such as this, Google is your best friend...I doubt users on this forum will be ready and willing to offer up hacking advice.

Can someone tell me where the last 2 oil pan bolts are on a 1996 S-10 Blazer 4x4? I need to change my oil pan gasket and I can't find the last ones holding it in. Is it also true that I need to remove the transfer case and unbolt the engine from the and hoist it up a bit so that I can actually remove the oil pan?

Seemed like the best place to ask. I didn't type it from my Nexus 6, but it's on the same desk as my PC right now, so that's close enough, right?

Side note: This isn't MY vehicle exactly. I borrowed it from a parking lot the other day and wanted to repair it before returning it. In regards to that, what's the best way to wipe my fingerprints off the entire vehicle?

I bought my N6 sim unlocked from Google. I'm using a metro pcs sim card on build LMY48X. Is there an M build I can sideload or flash??
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I believe any of the ones available? What network does metro piggyback on? If it's one of the major carriers, AT&T, VZW, Sprint, or T-Mobile, you should be fine. Just make a solid plan to get your device back to how it is NOW before you go changing anything. Then, it's just a matter of testing out all the ROMs you can find and deciding what you like, or going back to your current setup if you don't find something that suits your fancy.
[Nexus 6  General] modhack4life:
It piggy backs off T-Mobile. I really would like to sideload a build but I'm a bit hesitant. I think I might try mra58k. mra58n I heard that was the generic one.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
As long as you know how to get back to where you started, you should be fine with any of them. You probably won't even NEED to get back where you started, but it's incredibly useful to know how to revert it before you begin (even if you never do go back). So many repeat questions on every forum are because someone didn't do their legwork before diving in and unlocking their bootloader to flash or fastboot their phone.

I'd start by looking into how to use adb to make a backup of your device before you even unlock the bootloader, because unlocking the bootloader factory resets your phone. I'm assuming that you haven't yet. If you already have, nevermind. Just good to make a backup of that before you accidentally wipe everything not knowing it was going to erase your data, pics, downloads, etc.

From there, you can use fastboot to put on any official factory image (They should work with all carriers) or replace the recovery with TWRP and flash one of the custom ROMs out there.

Looking for suggestions - ROM

hello xda - its been a while and glad im (out:D) back in the forums - just picked up a N6 on ebay today and cant wait to mod this out

Looking for suggestions on a ROM since I am not at all up to speed on dev with this device (or much of anything). This will be my only device for a little bit so I need a daily driver, something stable. Looking for a lean fluid build, not overly concerned with theme (but dont mind it).

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

So I grabbed one of these shamus off amazon for 250 and it is amazing, project fi is pretty awesome too. I have not had a nexus since N4, still have an N7, last phone was m7.

It seems things have changed with Nexus? What is the easiest method to root and unlock bootloader? I have used wugs and mskips toolkits in the past are these still valid? What exactly has changed since Android M?

thanks :)
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
Since Marshmallow toolkits are more nuisance than help, because of the monthly Android updates they constantly lag behind. But since people still choose them instead of reading about it a bit and learn a couple of adb and fastboot commands, the forums are full with "I've bricked my nexus" threads. When just reading the FAQs and doing a ten minute search it's all clear and safe.
[Nexus 6  General] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Really?

LOL
[Nexus 6  General] Jnewell05:
Nice price,

Well bootloader is still easy to unlock. I use adb but those who don't have it configured can use the toolkits to easily unlock. There is new setting in dev settings that you must check before unlock.

There is a security feature, probably from lollipop, that if you don't sign in with the same google account after wiping, that phone it will lock you out without you being able to bypass. Basically an attempt to stop thievery. Bought a replacement from amazon and the original owner didn't sign out of it and i couldn't even use it. So i had to send it back for him to reset it properly.

One of the things probably most important is to read up on staying encrypted or going un-encrypted. Some say they see performance increases. I don't think this is don't by the toolkits. However I am still encrypted and don't really need to.

Android M brought some loops to jump through for sure, especially root. The newest chainfire does a good job for root, there are a few others but i prefer flashing chainfires auto root.

You will need to read up on kernels also for different tweaks you will need them to be permissive. Another security feature by google.

I love the Chroma Rom available in the dev threads but there are so many to try out. Android M brought OTG support to stock so you don't need stickmount and root. I always carry my OTG cable and a small flash stick with me to change roms and make backups etc..

One thing that sucks is Android Pay doesn't work without being stock with locked boot and recovery. Some have gotten it to work in the 6P but not the 6 yet. I really miss google wallet for tap to pay. But i guess takes 2 seconds longer to pull wallet out of pocket.

Google also started doing monthly security updates in effort to make android more secure. Probably for businesses to use. Good for you too!

Google wallet works fine on the Nexus 6. Just use the latest 2.66 Systemless Root and disable or delete the file in Root /su/xbin_bind reeboot and you're good to go!
[Nexus 6  General] BurnOne77:
Well more than anything the problem is everything is outdated and hard to find all the info you need in one place relative to recent andrioid 6.0 updates. I don't have a problem not using kits I came from a M7 and everything was done manually there and was a huge pita compared to my other nexus devices.
[Nexus 6  General] shayneflashindaily:
Oh gawd.. He is here ! Lol
[Nexus 6  General] Sirdragonx:
I used the adb tools, unlocked the boot loader and flashed the twrp recovery and installed my custom ROMs with root already installed. No need to use any root tools for me.

[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
Systemless vs System root ..

So, call me dense here .. what is the advantage of a systemless root over a system root? I know the obvious SafetyNet answer, but Chainfire has specifically stated that he's not interested in that and if it works, it's just a side effect. Why, then, is it such a big deal to go with a root that is not modifying the system partition directly? It seems to be causing more trouble than just straight root access that modifies the system partition.
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Because Google is locking down Android gradually for traditional root. This is the future if you want to be able to keep rooting your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] istperson:
What [MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION] said, but also the system partition is practically on lockdown, se policy doesn't allow it to be modified, and there's the red triangle to notify you if it has been, but physically it's filled to the brim, so you can't really modify it. Not to mention that the se policy won't even let you boot your phone, if it finds that it's rooted.

So either you disable all these checks, with custom built kernels, or you accept the game has changed.
[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I honestly have never seen a red triangle on my phone or had it not boot because it was rooted. I didn't know that was even a thing. Bought it last year at the beginning of September and I haven't run the stock rom on it since day 2, other than a few days during the transition to M. I was curious about M and there were no custom roms yet. But, I'm pretty sure I reverted to cm12 for the customization available over stock M.

None of that stuff must have been in effect yet, I guess.
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
Not sure. Maybe so people who like to take monthly OTA's can take them?

Guys, don't wanna bother too much but since the last Motorola phones i had, like MOTO X 2014, MOTO G 2014 and MOTO E 2015, i didn't see reason to root, flash a ROM or whatever, and then i got a Nexus 6 about almost 2 months ago, it's stock with 6.0.1 but i was wondering not to flash a ROM but maybe a kernel for stock? Is there anyone that's pretty good? Like franco.kernel or ElementalX?

Jump into a nexus 6

Wife has really done a number on my nexus 5. Shattered the screen completely. I had decided to skip the nexus 6 completely, figuring the nexus 5 performance is still great and I could wait the nexus 6 out. Now I'm stuck and I need a replacement quick. I don't think I can handle a HTC m9 or a samsung s6, having been pure since the galaxy nexus. But wow, that screen still looks massive. 5 inches has been the sweet spot for me. Anxiety is rising...so will everything be OK if I get a nexus 6? Will I learn to cope?

PS would also be grateful to hear the nexus 6 is not a dud like my nexus 9 - that thing is a POS.

Just wanted to bring this thread to Verizon users attention. This user is reporting that a newly purchased N6 from Verizon is running LMY47O out of the box. Not only does this, if confirmed true, negate the LMY47E being specifically for Verizon but it also is the first report of LMY47O being pre-installed on ANY N6.

[Q] physical size...

Ok, so I work construction as a union plumber for big commercial and industrial buildings. I currently have a GS4 with an Otterbox case that has withstood 2 years of construction site abuse without complaint. It fits in my work pants pocket, and it gives me access to everything I could need on the jobsite from a phone.

So now it is time for me to upgrade, and I am seriously considering a Nexus 6. However, it will definitely get an Otterbox Defender case for it immediately, and I am concerned it won't fit in my pocket.

Is anyone else in a similar situation, and can confirm for deny comfortable pocket fitment with this case?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Pretty sure otterbox isn't making cases for this device. Look into ballistic tough jacket maxx for equal to superior protection. As far as fitting in your pocket, it will fit but you'll definitely feel it in there. I use a rugged, canvas pouch with Velcro and clip closure and metal belt clip. This has worked very well for me. :good:

Advanced calling is available for the N6 now. These are all the phones that have Advanced Calling:

But you have to get HD Voice enabled as a feature on your line. With a non-Verizon N6 on the line, it won't show up. I just temporarily activated an iP6 on my line to get the feature enabled. Then put the SIM back in my N6. There are other ways but idk how to do them. There were threads on this.

[Nexus 6  General] RandomPooka:
I posted that question about it being a way to have root AND Android Pay before all the crazy happened this weekend. I don't use AP, and find it easier to get my physical wallet out than to get my phone out and tap to pay. Other than that, it's looking like the general consensus is that if you're using a stock ROM, systemless is the way to go for a number of reasons. If you're using a custom ROM with root baked in, it's not really as relevant.
[Nexus 6  General] Alxoom33:
I prefer Systemless and I run Cataclysm and Ex 3.09 kernel for now. I like the flexibility and I think it is the future of Root.

Hi, I'm having the same issue not being able to send or receive sms and my logcat shows the same error as yours.

Where did you find the sms database? Did you have to create a new table named 'sms' with column named 'creator'? Does the sms table need other columns as well?

Edit:

Found it in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db

There was already an sms table with 26 columns, I added column 'creator' as an integer(should it have been as text?) and now sms both sends and receives normally.

Strange but seems to fix the issue.

Tried an mms and that crashed messaging app. Logcat says table 'pdu' needs column 'creator'. So a 'creator' column needs to be added both to the sms table and the pdu table inside mmssms.db

Both sms and mms now work... weird.
[Nexus 6  General] roopesh:
Sorry I don't remember anymore. But you can search for the location. I do remember having to add a couple columns, but I only discovered them after adding creator. It was not creating a new table, but the only way to add the column was for it to create a new table, copy the data, delete the old table, and rename the new table. But the app takes care of all that.
