I am wondering...does it support wifi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] jblazea50:
Someone flash it and let all us T-Mobile users know if Wifi Calling is supported.
[Nexus 6  General] paztine:

1. new drawer

2, give you a warning just like android L preview

3. new wallpaper..

4. kernel version 3.10.40

5. android version M

Just still going thru some of the chnages..
[Nexus 6  General] maddoggin:
can confirm wifi-calling working on android m also new theme options and system-ui tuner added.
[Nexus 6  General] cliftonite:
Do you have to be rooted to install the developer preview?
[Nexus 6  General] dawgdoc96:
What did you did to flash it? TWRP or fastboot? New radio or old radio? New bootloader? Thank u!
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
Anyone getting this when booting up the M ROM?

I only flashed the system and boot IMG. Everything is working great its just this message.

Please read this thread. You will find many, many accounts of it.
[Nexus 6  General] bobby janow:
Looks like he's using an N5. Hmm.. means he can probably see his feet over the device. As for battery life, I'm getting much better life on M than on L. I've had it running now for about 10 minutes and I can tell already.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I initially fastbooted the google preview images from their site, system, radio, bootloader , boot.. Then things were kinda glitchy so after running that for a day and a half I flashed Vomers rom zip (wiped data, system, cache and delvik cache) and flashed insecure boot image zip from another thread at end of flash to stay unencrypted I Eben flashed unencrypted zip for kicks at end of flash just before reboo.. Works great. Even got Google now going out of the blue a little while ago. :D
[Nexus 6  General] dawgdoc96:
So you're on the new radio & bootloader then?
[Nexus 6  General] imablackhat:
Anyone else google play service drain
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yes
[Nexus 6  General] christophermx4:
Thanks for the heads up on that. I use my phone as my alarm clock...and they would kill me if I was late to work.
[Nexus 6  General] BossJ:
I got it, all I did was factory reset the phone. Went away. But I dont have TWRP installed. I actually installed the Image and cleared data / cache in android recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] christophermx4:
Might be premature to ask this, but has anyone figured out how to Tether/hostpot limit bypass?
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0

then add

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true in the build.prop and tethering works for me.
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
When factory resetting in stock recovery do it erase SD card?
[Nexus 6  General] christophermx4:
How exactly do you edit the build.prop if we don't have root? I'm running stock Android M.
[Nexus 6  General] BossJ:
yes it'll wipe everything.

SECURITY ISSUE:

so not sure if anyone has had this yet. But I had a lockscreen set to activate before it fully boots for security purposes... A pattern. I rebooted my phone, when to enter the pattern. it began to boot again. Then asked me to do it again. So I entered it again. Said failed. said decryption unsuccessful. then little android popped up and said "erasing" ... wiped my phone. Bahahahaha!

Bug?

Google is really taking their security serious.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
Pull it, edit it and push it back while in recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] mhuntwork1:
Weird thing after M was installed, half of my apps in folders looked like s**t, deleted them from said folders and reinstalled. Now they aren't all pixelated. ??
[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
Google Keep isn't syncing. It says its synced but nothing shows up.
[Nexus 6  General] david279:
you can copy it to your sdcard with something like root explorer even if you're not rooted. Or adb pull /system/build.prop if you are connected to a computer. edit it with root explorer or your favorite editor, if you pull it to a computer edit it with something like Notepad++(windows) or gedit(linux) or nano(linux),vi etc...

After you edit it boot into recovery and push the edited file back.

adb push build.prop /system/

reboot
[Nexus 6  General] fazbender:
Update your Android Studio.

Flashed the preview on the nexus 9 and plan to use as daily as it seems solid for my needs. Thinking of doing the same with the 6.

With the latest updated android studio the flash_all command worked when flashing the preview, the tablet installed M and retained my data ( was rooted/kernel'd with root required apps but planned on factory reset with the boot anyway )

Think of taking the plunge with the 6 , has anybody used flash_all with the latest studio release?
[Nexus 6  General] Android The Greek:
For some reason I never have success with the flash all.bat. I just manually install.

I reverted back to 5.1 for audible lock screen notification. A lot of the updates have landed on lollipop in app updates. I will reinstall preview on the second release.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
ya that did it. seeing 1080 and 1440 again. thanks!

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

keep is working fine for me
[Nexus 6  General] imablackhat:
i adb flashed the entire android M build including radio and bootloader, can I revert back to 5.1.1 radio and bootloader and rom with adb flashing back to the old stock stock or will i brick
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
You can use the toolkit to downgrade back down to lollipop latest image.
[Nexus 6  General] Skripka:
Or just multi ROM M into a secondary slot and not need nrt at all
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
I've seen folks saying it won't boot as secondary or as it been fix?

Edit: I'm interested in trying M but I'm not really in the mood of getting my device encrypted and loosing all my data, I know I can back it up but all that it's just a mission at the moment so I'll just wait till there's a better way of installing without all the hassle.
[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
Why can't we fastboot flash back to 5.1.1 using the factory image?
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
have to say things are running pretty great thus far. battery life is outstanding, no show-stopping bugs i've encountered yet. as others mentioned, android wear is wonky, and myfitness pal has issues too (won't let you multi-add, crashes sometimes), but otherwise it's pretty solid. i've seen conflicting stories regarding root. is it available yet? the only thing i'm seriously missing at this point is double tap to wake for n6, which requires it...
[Nexus 6  General] fazbender:
did you reset or re pair your wear? ....edit I guess you have to. duh.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
ya. it works, it just acts weird sometimes, like flashing 2-3 times when i press something, not being responsive for a second or two, saying i have an incoming call when i've already answered it and so on. i'd say it works perfectly 95% of the time though, and to be honest i'm not sure whether it's the fault of M or the wear 5.1.1 update i got yesterday as well...

There is already a no encrypt kernel so you don't have to worry about that. Works great.

I get that when the screen is on and a message comes through. As soon as the screen goes off/I'm not using it then I get regular notification sounds. I wonder if it's a bug or a new way M handles notifications.
[Nexus 6  General] ACastanza:
Has anyone else lost the ability to do Screen-off, unplugged hotword detection? The only option that shows up is with the screen on or plugged in. Other than that, there are some glitches with commands hanging but it works fine most of the time.

Hi guys i think im a bit in trouble. I fastbootflashed M and lost custom recovery and root..how do i root it and geht twrp? Also ID like to have the splitscreenoption but thats what i need twrp for^^
[Nexus 6  General] ilpolpi65:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-shamu.img

for the root I don't know if someone has already found the way
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Hi guys,

I know this has been asked 5 times here already, but I still can't find a clear answer.

I'm on L + TWRP now and would like to flash M.

Is it possible to do it without doing a wipe?

How can I save twrp? Not flash bootloader?
[Nexus 6  General] cammykool:
Added a link to OP about rooting.
[Nexus 6  General] estallings15:
No, you have to flash the bootloader first. Skip flashing the M recovery and try rebooting into recovery before booting the system. That usually works. If they've changed something or you lose TWRP, just flash it in fastboot and boot to recovery. It should install a patch to protect itself.
[Nexus 6  General] bill3508:
Post 413, follow the link.
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Thanks, I looked up somewhere else on forum and managed to do the flashing.
[Nexus 6  General] bill3508:
On another note does anyone know how to force close google play services on M?
[Nexus 6  General] eep2378:
It's funny for all the Play services FC's on 5.1.1, I haven't had a single FC on M.
[Nexus 6  General] bill3508:
The mobile radio bug still seems to be active on M and force closing google play services seems to reset it at least on L it did. Haven't found a way to close it on M though.
[Nexus 6  General] elreydenj:
Loving M know that root is achieved. Only bother I have is being limited to 720p in you tube.... Anyone figure out a real fix for this?

[Nexus 6  General] atcchris:
Wear 5.1.1 on my G watch R is amazing, still using Lollipop 5.1 stock/rooted on phone.

(I think I'm going to wipe and go flash 5.1.1Z build, then go multi-rom w/ M as second.)
[Nexus 6  General] elreydenj:
I have done that multiple times... I believe that has only worked for a handful of people.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Thanks ilpolpi65. However, i am not able to boot into recovery. I get the red triangle. Tried manually flashing recovery.img, but it is not helping. Can you please help?

[Nexus 6  General] wind784:
Radio for this on Rogers, for my area is freaking great! No WiFi issues for me yet. So far as a DD happy with it, look forward to the otas. Seems to be a much more polished preview than the one for lollipop was.

[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
So I still get that issue with the Nexus 6 where half of the screen freezes where you have to turn the screen off and then back on... I'm starting to think that this is not a software issue and is actually hardware. I was hoping this would be fixed by now, but I had it happen once on 5.1.1. and now once on M.

standard M radio and bootloader
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
It is hardware
[Nexus 6  General] DaMyth:
I'm using the same with Tmo service, haven't had an issue yet, wifi calling even works... Might try reflashing the radio and see if that helps or even the previous radio... Maybe the M radio doesn't like your area, just a thought
[Nexus 6  General] elreydenj:
I figured it out. Change android version in build.prop to 6.0 from m. That will do it.

Interesting it appears that Nova Launcher is some how intertwined with GNL. Last night I noticed there was an option for "Nova Wallpapers" and in the accessibility options there is a switch to turn on Nova. I never used Nova, I either use GPL or Miui launcher. Occasionally I will use Apex however I noticed that Nova was installed, I could uninstall it no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
hmm interesting. and you followed the directions (cleared cache and data, uninstall and have 20.55 installed?

also and on an unrelated topic, all of a sudden my starbucks app is refusing to work. it loads fine, but it won't let me log in or reload the card

edit: uninstall, reinstall and reboot seem to have fixed the starbucks problem...
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
That fix didn't work for me either. I finally went back to lollipop. There were a lot of things to like about M.

Battery life

Volume controls

But ultimately I missed the okay Google from sleep too much and the crispy YouTube videos at 1080p and up.

I'll probably go back when they squash some more bugs in the next preview update. Android M is looking to be great so far.
[Nexus 6  General] johnminator:
How did you fix it?
[Nexus 6  General] :
At the screen with the red triangle, just press power and tap on the volume up button. Tap on it only once. Dont do a long press. It will take you to the stock recovery screen.

Nice! I made a backup of my Lollipop setup... Assuming I can roll back even with the new bootloader?

I would say it's safe to assume, but I'm unsure how that's working for other people... I'm currently using Android M as a secondary rom with MultiRom...
[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
Has anyone heard anything more about progress with achieving root other than using the Despair kernel method? From what I've read that kernel has some issues with performance due to certain cores not working as well as many popular root features such as ad blocking are only partially working.
[Nexus 6  General] indianajonze:
yeah this. i refuse as a rule to install half-assed kernels on my phone, esp just to achieve root. good news is that chainfire says he shouldnt have an issue with supersu but he's been too busy to test his solution. so we wait. hopefully soon though
[Nexus 6  General] buschris:
root has already been achieved, it's up to the app devs to fix their respective apps. Also rocking M in MultiRom as one of my many secondary ROMs
[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
This is not necessarily true. In order to achieve root, the Despair kernel must be used. There are several reports about this kernel causing certain cores to never come online and therefore affect performance. I wouldn't call that an issue with devs apps. It's a trade-off many aren't willing to make.

The Despair kernel root method is good for people who need root right away, but it is far from fully functional. I'll be waiting until Chainfire releases his root method.
[Nexus 6  General] BossJ:
Uh the kernel works great. the core not working was user error.

Edit: Uh - Root works 100% perfect. Not sure where you are getting your information from. To each his own.
[Nexus 6  General] TheLonePoster:
Is there no VoLTE in this build? Either that or I have to do some shenanigans with Verizon again to get it working again.

You get used to higher quality audio and being able to use LTE data in calls :-/

*edit* Verizon's site shows that VoLTE is still activated on the line so I'm going to assume that it's just not here. Oh well.
[Nexus 6  General] itlnstln:
Almost. System/etc remains read-only; everything else seems fine, though.
[Nexus 6  General] Andrew149:
Anyone recommend this as a Daily?
[Nexus 6  General] 09Ram:
VoLTE is baked in and active on certain carriers.
[Nexus 6  General] TheLonePoster:
*edit* Ah it's as I thought, I had to go to my Verizon account management and remove Advanced Calling 1.0 on my line and then add it again. After restarting the phone a few times it came back.

Man, that's really annoying having to remove and then re-add Advanced Calling 1.0, this and the whole Non-VZW Nexus 6 thing add so many hurdles to wanting to play with the phone you own....
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
There are two other kernels with working root... Hells and elite. Adaway works fine for me, and I just edited a file in etc with root explorer. Using hells right now, but I had no issues other than maybe performance with despair. I'm just more used to hells I guess.
[Nexus 6  General] kxhaz:
I have been since Thursday night. There is another thread about the apps that don't work with M so you may want to check and see if any of those are ones that you use daily.

I personally have not had any issues, other then losing may color management settings to make the screen look better, but that is not a deal breaker for me.
[Nexus 6  General] Andrew149:
Sounds good I'll have to find that thread!
[Nexus 6  General] hahajoker:
Im noticing performance issues with despair as well. Did you just flash Hells over despair?
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
Yes. Just look on his g+ nexus 6 section for the download.

You lose layers, though (haven't seen mention of him including it).
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Layers isn't a kernel related feature

[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:

[Nexus 6  General] bloodiedwraith:
I posted this fix in this thread - you don't have to keep doing that.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG > Toggle Airplane mode

After that the setting will re-appear back under Cellular network settings.
[Nexus 6  General] brizey:
It is with Despair kernel. Not sure how he does it, but it works. I peeked in the kernel zip, it looks like it just mods the ramdisk. I thought layers required more changes than that.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
It works because of root access not anything in the kernel. RRO is native to android, that's why they harnessed it for layers.
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0_Cool:
I was under the impression that you had to be on a custom rom that implemented layers support. Are you saying that you can use RRO layers being totally stock and rooted?
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
As of M it appears so
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0_Cool:
That's awesome. I was totally stock for a really long time and finally flashed a ROM just to get layers support on 5.1. Otherwise, I'm totally happy with stock, a kernel, and maybe some xposed tweaks. I'm going to wait for chainfire to update superuser before I root my phone on M, but if layers are now fully merged that would be excellent! :good:
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
It won't be as all encompassing as it is on custom Roms
[Nexus 6  General] jodvova:
Yes, surprisingly its a pretty stable damn preview.

---------- Post added at 00:13 ---------- Previous post was at 00:10 ----------

Someone said something about cores not getting online with despair kernel. I've been running it for 2 days now and never noticed that in system monitor app. All 4 cores are online.

But,

What I noticed is sluggish performance in Chrome and when switching between CPU intensive apps, like feedly or 500px.

I was on Franco + stock before and never noticed that.
