Hi all. I'm about to get my first Android and Nexus 6 is my first choice. I'm coming from apple background and I always jailbreak my phones. Now this is a new environment for me I have no idea how these work and how to apply them.

I might get my Nexus tomorrow and am living in New Zealand. Are all the versions of Nexus 6 around the world are same or do they have different models depending on your country? I mean can you custom rom or root any Nexus 6?

Also Does this Pure nexus work only for Lollipop or can I update to Marsmallow and apply PureNexus? Also one last question is this called rooting or do I need to root and then do this afterwards?

Jeez! lots to learn.

Cheers

Try pulling your recovery log, and sharing it here/twrp thread.

Are you sure you have enough free space?

Not sure about the versions, they should be somewhat similar... But I know there are international/unlocked models.

There is already a PureNexus marshmallow build. It's the one labeled 6.0 in beans's afh directory. Micmars and beans have both posted instructions for flashing in the thread. I'd look for the links, but it's not easy through Tapatalk...

You dont NEED to root a nexus to do anything. You can unlock the bootloader through the stock rom, use fastboot to flash whatever you want (ie: twrp) then use that for everything else. I think the stock rom actually included root too, but can't recall . The stock roms do vary some based on carrier, but the custom roms are one size fits all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jussaren:
Honestly, my nexus 6 only saw Stock for 15mins, from the store to my house... Been running roms left & right with my Nexus 6. With Marshmallow roms like Pure Nexus, I have no reason to get the Nexus 6p reason being

I can survive without their new camera cuz I use Manual Camera & Cinema Fv-5

Fingerprint is a gimmick to me & I can't use Android pay anyway cuz of root

Type C usb I have no need cuz I like my wireless charger.

And last reason I can't go to a smaller phone hahahahahaha

I have been flashing the XTREMEmusic mod which uses viper and a couple other small audio mods. It automatically installs viper and the viper driver.

Flash Permissive.zip, XTREMEmusic, and ViperAIOfix, reboot and enable. Should work for you.

I goofed, I never even looked before. Anybody know what the stock modem is for Verizon 5.1? I'm trying to figure out if this is running a different one now. My phone keeps dropping to nearly no signal where I had it before. I don't know whether to think modem issue, rom issue, or something else. I'm starting to see a couple other glitches too, might all be related I suppose

Bummer. If I read correctly then, the modem is still the same on beans' rom. I must have something else going on.

Anybody noticing hangups at random spots? Earlier I needed to install ES file explorer. Play store was very laggy, but working until I hit install. I could go to home screen and use any other app, but going back to Play would pull up the frozen ES screen. Back would go back to search results (unfreezing play store), until I went back and hit install. Happened 4 or 5 times, then I just let it sit. About 45 seconds later it moves forward and asks permissions and installs.

And the most annoying is chrome. Random FC's. The one I can repeat every time: In the address bar, start typing www.gma (gmail), when it anticipates what you want, click to the right of the prediction to have it input it to the address bar. Force closes every time for me. If I try to log into a different gmail account in chrome other than the linked phone account, as soon as I hit enter after typing in the address, FC

[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Wiping internal is recommended when going from one major android version to another. If not sometimes previous files get left behind that cause issues later on. Like the twrp backup folder location may have changed and that's why it's not backing up. If that's the case it may be an easy fix. Check your internal storage folder and see if there is a folder labeled 0. If so check in there and see if it has your 5.1.1 internal storage folders. Then you could try and move the twrp for from there to internal and try backing up then.

Once you flash these items make sure to just install Super audio driver thru Viperandroid but don't set anything else on viper... Leave it alone.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] urrgevo:
Holy geez... Took a few days to figure things out on M and almost 400 posts.

I saw that someone mentioned severe battery drain from WiFi, that WiFi appears to remain on despite being off in settings. I admittedly skipped several pages but since I didn't see any other mention of it, I believe what is happening there is during setup, there is an option to let apps use WiFi for location purposes even when WiFi is off. I always unchecked that option, I don't have that issue. I think that is what causes this bug, the way it's supposed to work is that, regardless of your setting in location, if you left that option on your WiFi would be turned on for a few seconds every few minutes to enhance location accuracy. It seems that for those that have this it is leaving it on constantly now. It's just a thought, I'm no dev, just posted to hopefully give anyone that does run across this something to try and turn off to resolve it.

I saw several questions regarding which layers work for M. Most of what I have tried work with only a tiny hiccup here and there, I recommend Commute UI + Evolve add on and Magpie + The Colors add on. Either one will give you a ton of options to choose from and even have light UI options for those who can look directly at Sauron's Eye and not flinch. Well worth a few bucks.

Oh, blu_spark does work. You just need to flash the modified boot image in Chainfire's Super SU thread first. If you don't want to do that, flash the previous version released for the previews, it works also.

Hope this helps a bit, I'm going to go hide again for the next 400 posts. So like a day or two ?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Because, it happened to rewrite the files in /system correctly.

You still have google services problems because you haven't manually wiped system yet, and reflashed them... Much as you will likely continue to do until you advanced wipe > system then reinstall the rom and gapps. You dont lose anything, this just removes the remnants that get carried forward from backup scripts within the rom and gapps zips. Typically they'll back some stuff up to /tmp, wipe system, do their install, then copy the stuff back. It's good to wipe system when changing between major android versions to circumvent that. Your data is untouched.

Also, there's no reason to ever wipe internal storage for a rom install. Nothing should ever change its sdcard storage paths from android version to version... That's why there's /data... If it did, your stuff just wouldn't get found... You wouldn't get errors/crashes, since it would just create blank copies of the paths on the sdcard.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] urrgevo:
I know it's a pain, but do a factory reset or full reflash/data wipe. When you go through device setup, after you sign in to Google, there is a list of options that are enabled by default, one of them is to allow apps to use WiFi scans for location even if WiFi is off. Uncheck that one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Try deleting your /TWRP/.twrps file and rebooting back into recovery before giving another backup a shot

I'm wanting to familiarize myself with layers, but havent had the time to even google it lately. The most I'm inferring is that this is not an in-rom setting that can be directly tweaked (There's no mention of it anywhere in any settings menus), but it's more of a native support for third party theme apps to do their thing?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] urrgevo:
Yeah basically. You can grab the layers manager app and themes in the play store, it's pretty straightforward. Grab some stuff to try, Inversion should work and has a free version, open layers manager, select theme, choose which individual apps you want themed, and do a full reboot. Done. You can mix up apps from several themes if you like. If by chance you end up bootlooping, just go into TWRP, Mount system, and use the file manager to go to system/vendor/overlays and delete the layer that caused it, or everything of you're not sure. It'll boot up after that.

Inversion, Material Glass, and Steel are free themes that I tried on this rom and work fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] swidnik0:
Thanks for answer. I hope that it will be fixed in future builds. I don't have time to reflash full rom.
