Anybody got qremote working on lollipop? With the Lollipop OTA we should be having more luck. I've tried extracting the APKs off Stock 5.0.2 (see attached). The quickset SDK installs on Candy5 5.02 aosp but not qremote itself. Maybe someone could try "hacking" them?

Is it possible to do fingerprint scanning via the screen, with software? Or does it have o be a separate piece of hardware?

Is Android M really going to look the same as L? There has to be at least a little bit of UI changes.
[Nexus 6  General] yankeesfan714:
I've never flashed a developer preview before. Is it possible to flash with a nexus toolkit or does it need to be done in adb?
[Nexus 6  General] longshot21771:
Yeah I thought it looked like the UI wasn't going to be a major change.
[Nexus 6  General] adam29617:
"Doze"? But yes I to am asking the same question, my N6 never was plagued with all the bugs many are having except the battery, but for sure can't wait to load M up and see!
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
I already get 95% deep sleep with screen off...I fail to see the point of Doze. I suppose if you're always getting FB and G+ pings all day it might help sleep more.

Rumor has it the preview is coming out today. Least that is what people on reddit are reporting

It is really pretty underwhelming for a version uptick. It seriously looks like you could use M and never notice you didn't have Lollipop. Seems like Google is going all Mozilla in terms of versioning.
[Nexus 6  General] inkdrink:
They already mentioned that there were minor tweaks to the core experience, but they probably don't feel they were worth highlighting.

L was a huge visual revolution. Why did people expect M was going to have a big graphical overhaul or update?
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Probably because most people expect a major name-branded update to have something they'd visually notice....not a collection of under-the-hood bug fixes and side improvements that you could easily never notice. Because all the stuff they highlighted are things that even power users might never touch or notice were there.
[Nexus 6  General] inkdrink:
I suppose that's fair, but on their yearly update schedule I'm betting just about every update in the future will be name-branded, and I doubt they'll all be UI-heavy. Either way, I still see a lot I'm excited for. Android Pay will be nice as someone who uses but has grown tired of Wallet, and contextual Google Now in apps is pretty cool as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Greg Tolan:
Yup just like the crazy differences between Froyo and Gingerbread. Or the transformation of Jelly Bean into Kit Kat.

In reality we have no idea what visual changes will be made because the software is not finalized. The M preview is just a dev preview so that apps can be updated with the latest APIs from day 1. They barely showed anything as it relates to M that would show any real visual differences.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
People act surprised that M looks the same as L. Look at Google history most updates don't change too much (if at all) from updates. ICS to JB etc. Yes GB did have a green theme but that was already having several updates with minimal ui changes except maybe a launcher. Hell even KK was very similar to JB. Take away google now launcher and visually they look the same
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
The most frustrating thing is there are allegedly "1000s" of bug fixes from reports. They claim they're in the M preview, and they claim said preview will be available later today....I know this is a revolutionary thought, so hold on to your hat, but why not push those fixes to Lollipop and publish 5.1.2 next week? Rather than force users to have to wait possibly 5-12 months for an update they may never get (depending on their device OEM)?

The alleged number of fixes in M are an order of magnitude greater than the number of fixes in all the Lollipop updates for the Nexus 6, combined, thus far. And Lollipop is still pretty buggy, especially if you're not on a Nexus.

IIRC KK brought a bunch of notification tray improvements in ICS and JB. But that was ages ago, and I'm going off memory. Also KK ran a ton better than ICS or JB.

[Nexus 6  General] bobprobert:
is it possible to flash this onto a secondary rom with multirom?
[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Yeah, so I guess some of us were still pretty curious after reading about issues with Motorola devices and Bootloaders. Seems to have been an issue back with 5.0 to 5.1. I'm not even sure if people were ever able to resolve it. I read in another thread though, that at least one person was able to flash back to 5.1.1 and it also seems saddler2kx above was able to flash back and forth using a toolkit.

Now, I would totally flash this, but I keep reading about this "Validation Error" on bootup, but it may not be a big deal because the phone finishes booting... just gives a weird error first. I dunno! I may just wait a few days and see how it goes.
[Nexus 6  General] asutton13:
I'm definitely seeing this error. "Device has failed verification". Would love to get rid of it, but don't want to wipe the entire phone again. Everything boots and M is running well overall. This "feature" is described here: https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot.html , but it's beyond me to fix it.

Have you noticed how chrome' scrolling is a lot more responsive / has less jank? some advertising it makes it choke but I think it performs a lot better now.

I was expecting a new camera app, google camera is just so bad, HTC's camera app, IOS' and even samsung's new camera app are a LOT better, google has a lot of catching up to do in the camera department!!

Did google remove the option to turn off wifi scanning even when wifi is off ? I can't seem to find it on advanced wifi settings :confused:

Hopefully the option to edit the quick settings won't be buried in the settings so regular people can take advantage of them, I'm quite happy I've been waiting for a long time for this!

I would have loved to see a display tuner option/display modes , the nexus 6 needs really bad, damn those red and oranges are out of control!

Did they mention anything about replying messages from the notification bar like we're able to do with google messenger, answering whatsapp messages like that would be quite nice!

Vertical scrolling on the launcher is not so bad, but there's so much space wasted some letters only have 2 apps, and only 3 apps per row, really google? :/

Yeah anyone have any idea what and how to fix the device failed verification error and may not work properly with an ID that is blank then says booting in 5 seconds on boot?

I just got it after flashing last night and doing a reboot this morning while at work.

I went to look at my phone and was trying to wake it and could not figure out why it never rebooted. Finally got to to reboot and I see that error. The only issue that I get unlike others is that my phone does not boot after 5 seconds. It must do something since the screen goes black but that is it.

So right now I have a phone I cannot turn on and when I reboot it I get the verification error and then black screen of nothing.

I have looked and searched but found nothing but others dont seem to have the same problem as me since there phone actually boots up at least.

Any help would be appreciated.

[Nexus 6  General] Hero of Canton:
N6 bought from Verizon. Stock unrooted and flashed the M preview last night. I don't see the VoLTE (Advanced Calling) option where it should be either.

That's the only thing I've seen that's missing so far. Had a couple of apps that wouldn't load, but I may try to reinstall them. If not it was nothing earth shattering.
[Nexus 6  General] Character Zero:
I don't have my phone on me. But it is there. Under Settings>Other (with the Wifi and Bluetooth)>Cellular Networks. Should have a toggle for Advanced 4G something or other. Thats it. I made an HD call last night just fine.
[Nexus 6  General] Hero of Canton:
Hmmm... I verified that it's still active on my account. A little more info here, I have Available Networks set to "Choose Automatically" and Preferred network type set to "Global." Should I specify Verizon and/or CDMA/LTE here? I did verify that calls and LTE data works, just not seeing the Advanced Calling option.

Not a big deal to me at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] Character Zero:
Its a toggle in that same area.

Its called "Enhanced 4G LTE mode" under Cellular Networks.

It's under Settings > Wireless & networks > More > Cellular networks. It is between Preferred network type and System select.
[Nexus 6  General] radzuky:
So, I tried Android M. Liked it. Its pretty much the same with some nice tweaks. However, at some point last night I saw that my storage only reported 23.03GB of total storage. So after playing with the build for a while, I decided to go back to 5.1.1. It still show 23.03GB of total space. Yes, my phone is a 64GB. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
Yeah I know that. What I mean was that there used to be an option for setting priority mode until next alarm which was extremely useful.
[Nexus 6  General] jdkluck:
atchris I a not sure either but from what I gathered by doing some searches on XDA and google for mfastboot, it sounds lke what he was trying to say is that you (we) need to download mfastboot.zip, extract the contents to our ADB folder, go about and flash everything as normal except this time use mfastboot to flash the system.img file.

Not sure if that is what they were trying to say but what I kind of figured out, could be totally wrong though. I also could not find the thread they were referring to as well.

Hello everyone, thanks to OP for opening this.

Yesterday I downloaded and installed M preview, and try to root using the CF autoroot for 5.1.

Everything get wrong, very wrong after that.

First of all, Nexus 6 was not booting up at all. Then I flashed the developer preview again.

Now, before booting up it shows a message saying something like your phone has failed verification and may not work properly, and directs me to www.g.co/AndroidBootHelp which does not exist.

I really want to remove that message from boot, can anyone here please help.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6  General] Hero of Canton:
I've got it now. I removed and re-added it to my account online, then rebooted and it was there.

How does Doze work manually? I know you can go to Settings > Apps > 3 button menu > Advanced > Ignore Optimizations > All Apps from drop down menu.

You're right. I assumed that the option was turned on in M by default, but it wasn't, even though my bootloader is unlocked. With an unlocked bootloader the boot up password adds no security, since it can easily be bypassed. It makes sense for the password to not show up with it unlocked.

[Nexus 6  General] NYZack:
The password issue is likely related to having Accessibility Services enabled in Lollipop. If you look at Settings --> Security --> Screen Lock, you'll likely see that additional security is disabled because of Accessibility Services. You can re-enable the password-on-boot by clicking on "Password" under the Screen Lock settings. It warns you about effects on Accessibility Services, but I don't quite understand the meaning of the warning (I haven't noticed any effect). And if you enable another Accessibility Service, there's a good chance it will disable the password-on-boot again.

The network seems to be either assigning an IPV6 address that is not valid, which wouldn't surprise me, or IPV6 is broken in M. I'm thinking it's the former. Since we don't have root, I can't disable IPV6. Can I?

---------- Post added at 09:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

Someone else pointed me to the answer. If you enable OEM Unlock in Developer Settings, the password prompt disappears. Our bootloaders are unlocked on Lollipop, but M does not have this option enabled by default so the password on boot is enabled. Once you turn the setting on in M, the password prompt will disappear (I'm guessing, I haven't rebooted yet)
