Twilight (Similar to f.lux for PC) does not seem to work on the preview. The app works fine, but does not actually change the screen's color.
[Nexus 6  General] jayesh:
Serious question.. if you are a new user, why not enjoy your device on tried and tested software for a bit, before rushing headalong into buggy unreleased software? I can understand the appeal alright, but i sincerely suggest enjoying it on 5.11 for a few days at least imho.
[Nexus 6  General] WillisD:
Take that few days and study what you are looking to do
[Nexus 6  General] manup456:
It is very simple if you managed to get M on your phone, rooting it is super easy. If you look at root M thread the instructions are easy to follow.
[Nexus 6  General] TeldenW:
Thanks so much for your opinion. After less than 24 hours using M, I'm back enjoying 5.1.0.

My phone hasn't prompted me to OTA the 5.1.1 yet.

I would have missed EverNote way too much! Had to flash back!!
[Nexus 6  General] 09Ram:
Yup, I hope they update Evernote and PowerAmp soon! Other than that M has been great for me so far.
[Nexus 6  General] kibmikey1:
Getting the precheck aboot error when trying to downgrade the bl. Bl has become the first screen I see when booting up, connecting to pc, and restarting the phone from android. This also happens after I root in M and attempt any script manipulation involving reading root. Investigating further and will report back.

Hey , i m using Stock Android M , unrooted and i want to flash a custom rom. How to do it from Stock M(unrooted) to Custom L(rooted)?
[Nexus 6  General] githyanki:
How did you get to Android M? Find which custom rom you want and ask them the recommended method to install. (Probably in the first post or two)
[Nexus 6  General] cutmylifein2:
I flashed developer preview
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I would flash the Google 5.1 factory image, root that and then flash the custom rom that you want.
[Nexus 6  General] zer0xp:
Aside from the one other person I've seen here, anyone else having trouble getting layers manager to do anything?

When you "install layers," it doesn't give you the preview screen allowing you to choose. It just says installed, and when you reboot nothing happens lol
[Nexus 6  General] Armxnian:
Getting started with M

For those having trouble, here is what I did to get stock M and root.

First of all, the flashable zip didn't work for me through TWRP, just hanged on the "Google" boot logo.

Download the factory image in the OP and the files in the root thread. Then flash using this:

You can just flash the fix_rw_boot.img instead of the stock image (step 7). Then you can boot normally, it will take you to the setup screen of M. I just rebooted into recovery. Then just copy over the elite kernel and SU as mentioned in the root thread OP and install them in TWRP. Went from 5.1.0 to M, rooted, and with the custom kernel, no problems.

Explains Why Android Wear Has Been Actin Up With the M Dev Preview

[Nexus 6  General] jnrandall:
Thanks for this link! I am wondering if this change will also assist my bluetooth share from stopping as well? When linked to the car, my head unit loses the connection to the phone when streaming Pandora over long periods of time. Toggling BT on the phone seems to help but it's annoying. Also don't want the coppers to think Im texting either. :angel:
[Nexus 6  General] kibmikey1:
Is anyone experiencing issues with the bootloader being the first startup screen? When I reverted to 5.1.1, it did roll back the bootloader version to .10, and there are no issues with booting into Android, recovery or anything else, I can freely flash whatever I want, bootloader is unlocked. TWRP is installed. The only issue the bootloader, no matter which one I install, is always the first screen to come up. I had thought about trying a blank flash akin to unbricking measures, but I'm not sure if that would solve the issue. If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'm really at a dead end here. Thank you.

Amazon Store works, but any app installed from it says reinstall from Amazon Store. ??? Anybody else?
[Nexus 6  General] 19martin83:
Probably this question is answered in this thread. But if not than can someone hwlp me with this question?

Does the android M preview has the problem that your phone shuts off like in L. And if not can it be used as a daily build.
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
No issues. Have used for two weeks now as my daily build.
[Nexus 6  General] ColdEmbrace:
To be fair it's still shutting down randomly but much less often than when on L
[Nexus 6  General] DeezNotes:
This is an interesting find. I use a Garmin Edge for cycling and it loses connectivity with my phone after a while. I was just about to wipe and go back to L, but I'm going to give this a try first. Thanks!!
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:
For those who have installed this, do you get any type of updates? Not thinking that it would be nightly, but has anyone randomly after being on it for say 5 days received a prompt to update to a new developer preview build? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  General] Jhall8:
Here's the schedule: http://developer.android.com/preview/overview.html#timeline
[Nexus 6  General] roaddaw9:

I can't wait for the next update cause so far this is pretty solid
[Nexus 6  General] papeshfoo:
Very solid for me, I flashed on the 2nd day and have only encountered a few apps not opening. Little to no lag, except when in battery saver mode. No random boots, and excellent battery life.

[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
The only issue that bothers me so far is the recent calls dialer button not working, but its already listed in the bug tracker
[Nexus 6  General] papeshfoo:
Works for me, just checked it.
[Nexus 6  General] Chad_Petree:
Have you guys had issues with nova launcher? I installed but the icons now look bad with jaggies all over the place :/ , maybe because I reduced my DPI? I did it too on my Note 4 and I had no issues with nova launcher :(

[Nexus 6  General] ANDR01DN00B:
Hey guys I have a question: I know root is required via a custom kernel, but is there a stock M kernel with only root support added? And if not, can someone please whip it up if it won't take long?

Thanks in advance.

What would be cool is if google added a right arrow to the navigation bar at the bottom when chrome is opened. First time android users might find it tough to locate the one in the drop down menu. ..just a thought
[Nexus 6  General] mituzora:
I was running M preview for awhile, and it ran really smooth, then all of the sudden, I started getting several slowdowns and crashes. I think an app didn't like doze or something. could have been the custom kernel I was using as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
The minute Waze is working on M I'm installing it.

That and there's an annoying bug in Textra when using Swiftkey where the message conversation doesn't move up when the keyboard comes up. Once both are fixed, I'll use it as my daily driver.

I'm not getting all the MMS. Probably getting 1 out of every 3 and get lost in the conversations because I don't know what's being said.
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
M had been really solid so far. My only real issue is with APN settings disappearing and not being able to connect to mobile data. It only happens when I'm on Wi-Fi then switch to mobile data. Sometimes it works other times I need a reboot to resolve the issue. And in general the hand off between Wi-Fi and cellular data hasn't been good. Reception hasn't been as consistent. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6  General] ColdEmbrace:
Having real battery life issues with Google play services zapping my battery. Anyone else fixed this or have the issue.
[Nexus 6  General] Endbringer42:
Anyone else having trouble with Wi-Fi? At home it connected just fine during setup, but when I got to work I can't connect to the wi-fi. It gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address....". I never had this issue with L. When I go to the Wi-Fi settings the work network flashes. Tried a reboot and it didn't fix it. Anyone have any idea?
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
I am having similar issues as well. I am also having issues with wifi -> cellular data hand off and losing cellular data reception randomly. I might try to reflash the radio later. If that doesn't work I'll do a factory reset and possibly reflash the preview from scratch this weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] bobpullen:
I have this issue, so would be interested if there's a way to prevent it?

Likewise with the Amazon Kindle app. It looks to be sapping my battery despite the fact that I hardly ever use it:

[IMG="Kindle app battery drain"]http://community.plus.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screenshot_20150617-113725.png[/IMG]
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Been playing with it a bit, and it definitely is not ready for prime time.

For me, I had the mic issue when setting up Google Now, and it won't go away with a reboot... And it was completely jacking up audio playback for music and stuff.

Maybe the second release will be better. Back to stock without encryption for now...
[Nexus 6  General] Endbringer42:
I downloaded the 5.1 radio radio-shamu-d4.0-9625-02.95.img and flashed it. That fixed the issue with not being able to connect to my work Wi-Fi. However, I now get the failed verification message on boot.
[Nexus 6  General] bobpullen:
I had some odd issues with cellular data connectivity to begin with, however an earlier suggestion to change the 'APN Protocol' in my access point settings to 'IPv4/IPv6' seems to have improved things.
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
My APNs keep disappearing.
[Nexus 6  General] natemup:
Just had that issue. No fix?
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
None that I could find, so sort of a deal breaker, right? But this is the first release of beta software, so no biggie... I am sure that the second one dropping in a week or two will be better, and so on.

Shame, because it worked pretty well for me other than that. Couldn't test it long enough to compare battery life though, with audio being messed up.
[Nexus 6  General] natemup:
A reboot actually did the trick for me!
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
Yeah, I tried that, didn't work in my case.

Oh well, the differences between this early version of M and Lollipop are minimal right now... I will try the next release.
[Nexus 6  General] sms2000:
My 64Gb Nexus believes having 32Gb storage only. Am I missing anything?

It was OK with 5.1.1 ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] Gingerbread1611:
Common issue, just boot into recovery and perform a factory reset.
[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
I have this issue often at work too. My fix has been going into aiplane mode, then back out... then it will usually connect and get an IP.
[Nexus 6  General] xciton:
I found that I had to change back to the old DHCP client on the phone. It's one of the options in developer settings I believe.
[Nexus 6  General] qnzesc0bar:
You will need to wipe data and clear cache in recovery. That should fix your problem.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm starting to get antsy. We should be close to a new build?
[Nexus 6  General] bobprobert:
my APN keeps disappearing and i have to toggle airplane mode just to make a call or send a text
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
I hope the next release comes this week
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
i hope so. i'm beginning to get annoyed with this build. whenever battery drops below around 30% the phone begins to lag like hell. by the time it gets to 20% or so it becomes almost unusable. that, plus the fact that android wear keeps crashing, are the only significant issues i've found, but the lagging due to battery is a huge one, and it gets worse by the day. i strongly suspect play services is causing the issue, but have no way of proving this...
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
same.

Sorry I had gone MIA Everyone. My nexus died (fortunately within my 14 day buyers remorse period from tmo and I was able to get it swapped out in store on the spot. I never got around to reflashing m because I graduated high school a few days later (woo!). The last of the family left last week and I'm just getting back into everything. Will update op with any news that has happened.

I flashed the M preview on my vzw nexus 6 last night and had weird WiFi issues. It was connecting/disconnecting from my router constantly. I had to flash back to lollipop.
[Nexus 6  General] metaphz:
Android M was pretty buggy for me, constant Android Wear has stopped responding, and Keyboard stopping responding. I also could not get Smart Unlock to work for my Chromebook. Flashed to Sprint/USC 5.1.1 on mine and everything is working solid. I also tried Android M on my Nexus Player and that was way worse of an experience then on my Nexus 6. However I must say running Android M on my Nexus 9 has given me ZERO issues and runs as smooth as butter. If you want the real Android M experience I suggest tried it on a Nexus 9.
[Nexus 6  General] 09Ram:
Can't complain at all about running M on my N6. I've been on it for over a week and other than the occasional fc it's great! Much smoother than expected for an initial beta release. Radios, battery life, all very good! I only went back to 5.1.1 to play around with the upcoming SkyDragon rom for N6! :D

[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
Flash the image. You can skip the radio and bl if you want, but if you flashed m boot loader and you want to go backwards I would flash the boot loader as well

Really hope a new build gets pushed soon. I'm having some minor issues including performance that would be nice to have cleaned up but it's not bad for a first effort.

Same here. As long as I didn't try to record my voice for Google Now, the Mic issue didn't pop up any more... But I was getting FC's on the dialer when a call came in, my online banking app kept crashing, so I had to roll back to stock for now.

Does anyone here have access to 2 Nexus 6? I've seen that the camera quality and speed has improved with Android M Developer Preview. I know speed is something that you can tell us about. But what about quality? Can anyone take pictures at the same time with HDR+ Or normal with both 5.1.1 and Android M? Thanks :) I'm curious to see how it has improved...

This worked perfectly! I'm able to re-mount /system as read-write now. Adaway is able to update /etc/hosts and all is well. One app that isn't working is Better Battery Stats, previously it couldn't write to /system to install itself as a system app, after fixing the read-write issue I'm able to install it as a system app, but it never shows up (even after a reboot). Anyone else able to get Better Battery Stats working?

[Nexus 6  General] jsuresh:
I am hoping today. I keep loosing cell service and have to go on and off airplane mode to get cell service again.
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
I couldn't take that any longer. I had to reflash 5.1.1. I am missing Doze though. I would be at 75% battery right now on the M preview. I'm at 65% now. Nothing drastic but still noticeable.
[Nexus 6  General] jsuresh:
I will let you if it is fixed in the coming update, they better be :)
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
Yes please do! I rely on the backup from play services/google so it takes me a few dedicated hours to get to sign in, update, add accounts, etc to all 110 apps! I don't want to waste my time.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
I wouldn't expect the update for at least a week or two. If it was imminent, we would have heard something by now, other than one guy quoting one sketchy rumor...
[Nexus 6  General] jsuresh:
5.1.1 r6 has just been pushed to aosp so there may be something for M as well.
[Nexus 6  General] SquireSCA:
I still think that if it was dropping today or really soon, that we would have heard something more substantial on it...

A website updated a couple months ago that still says "Late June/ Early July" is not exactly a quantified commitment. haha

Google service well WiFi in particular is killing my battery, I'm getting less than two hours screen on time, tried everything from clear google play service , framework cache but no joy. Anybody have any suggestions??
[Nexus 6  General] gee2012:
Try wiping the cache of the Play Service app in apps and reboot, that should help unless its a serious software bug. Or try wiping the cache in recovery if that didn`t help.
[Nexus 6  General] guitardedhero:
Look in /system/app/ and /system/priv-app/ for the BBS apk and create a folder of the same exact file name omitting the ".apk" of course. Change folders of folder to 0755 and move the apk to the new folder and be sure the apk permissions are 0644. Reboot immediately. If that doesn't work then move the folder and apk to the other /system/ folder and reboot immediately.
[Nexus 6  General] romdroid.:
So this new battery saving feature Google has included, Doze, does it work? Do you get better battery life in standby?
[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
I don't know if it actually gives better battery life... but often I'll pick up my phone, turn on the display, then get a bunch of notifications from apps, ect. So it's at least suspending the notifications of apps you don't add the exempt list.
[Nexus 6  General] romdroid.:
Ah so it's like stamina mode in xperia (if you have used their phones)

it's a good thing:good:
