[Nexus 6 Android Development] Piksou:
Hi folks, I recently dirty flashed from June release to July. June release had been clean flashed with Beans Gapps Mini from May (maybe that's my mistake ?).

I have problems with google contacts: it is currently installed as 1.4.22 as system, I assume AOSP (com.android.contacts). It is trying to update to Google version though and failing miserably (error 550).

I tried to fix the problem by downloading latest Google Contacts from ApkMirror, yet "app not installed the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name".

I tried to remove Contacts with TiBa but "apk not found".

At this stage I am contemplating:

1) flashing latest Beans Gapps Mini and hope for the best

2) learn to live with it.

Any ideas/thoughts ?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] az_r2d1:
You do know there are 2 versions of the N6, right ? Different bands on each. A US version and an international version.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jakeroxs:
I've been having the same problem with Google Contacts for a couple months, I am running the March version of PureNexus though, currently doing a backup to do a clean install of the newest version. Will let you know if I still have problems with contacts after clean flash + newest beansgapps.

Tried exactly the same things you did so far :P

Edit: Clean flashing did indeed fix it for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] amritanshu001:
Yes of course i know. My N6 was working fine. In India, the band that has 4G LTE is not supported by N6. I was ok with it in the beginning because 3G was cheaper at that time. Now 4G is very cheap, and i will be loosing money if i continue with 3G.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] az_r2d1:
Interesting. I figured one of the the two models would cover that.

So you make money with 4g vs 3g ? sorry, I'm being a smart*ss
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
You do know that June PN used AOSP GApps and July used Google GApps? You might want to watch the PN G+ Community since only release announcements are here, no dev posts about much else (S/N ratio very bad here :rolleyes: ).

A clean flash is going to be the only way to clean the mess up.

I had this same problem. Tried the same things you did with no joy. Wipe and clean flash cured it. Good luck.

Slide the notification to the right until its settings icon appears. Tap that and you'll be given the option to adjust that notification's priority, which includes hiding it completely.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
So you have no overlay then? Or are you just another noob who posts and disappears without feedback or thanks?

Sorry, people, another nail in the coffin for me... Why bother?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
It is truly amazing...

In less than 3 years... The level of people willing to learn and not just be spoonfed answers... Has gone down so much...

Even the people who have reputations for being super helpful are posting less and less...

I wonder when they'll start paying people to answer questions here... Because the volunteers are going quiet...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Right. I don't need payment, and not even thanks, though that's always appreciated, but silence really isn't good enough. I lurk here and ask few questions (not trying to be cocky, but I can solve most of my own problems) and try to offer help when I can, but this sort of thing really pushes my buttons. I was brought up to say "thank you" and I regard it as bad manners when people can't be bothered.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suprkain:
This thread has become very toxic. If you don't know how to solve everything you're looked down upon. I suggested a telegram thread to help with "repetitive" questions and even that was looked down upon. Over on the resurrection thread they started a telegram channel and are very nice to talk to even if it doesn't have to deal with their ROM in general. The guy in charge of that channel even said it himself there is no stupid question even if it's asked repetitively. If it wasn't for Bean putting together such a great ROM I would have left simply because several people here with their high and mighty attitude are starting to ruin this thread more than the "repetitive" questions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nucleotide:
Thanks, but that will block all Google Play Services notifications. Not something I really want to do.

Not just this thread I'm afraid. The forum as a whole is toxic and full of garbage. Granted, some threads are better than others but overall, it's still a junk yard.

I miss the days when it was primarily developers and power users in here but those days have well and truly passed and the Mods either don't care or just can't keep up with the amount of garbage that needs deleted.

Today, we have self entitled kids in here that think they are owed something and expect everything handed to them on a silver platter.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cujo6801:
No no no...

I read a lot of these threads..

This one is by far the most toxic thread...

And I'm not going to say who but there's two posters in here that attack constantly...

It's comical their belief in their superiority...

Normally I don't post these kind of post because they serve no purpose..

they don't ever solve anything

[Nexus 6 Android Development] JRJ442:
I'm not really sure why you'd be receiving that in the first place on a custom ROM. Do you still have automatic system updates enabled in Developer Options or something?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] n.venasquez:
I'm gonna get my Nexus 6 to be deliver on Tuesday, 22nd of August, Downgraded from Nexus 6P swap it to Oneplus 3T reason was afraid of the Bootloop issue though I haven't experienced it while using my 6P, So what are the pre-requisites before flashing this ROM aside from unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP etc (I know those stuffs already) same as to 6P need to flash Vendor, BL, Radio images? what Official OS should my Nexus 6 be before flashing this PureNexus ROM detailed information and answers will be much appreciated, thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Have you read the first several posts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] n.venasquez:
Yep and quite confuse that's why I posted, sorry for being quite noob, I just want some clarifications that's all
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
There is no vendor in N6. The bootloader should be the same as the equivalent stock ROM. The newest PN ROM, then the newest bootloader (never, ever downgrade bootloaders). The radio version is independent of anything. Use whichever gives you the best performance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gysper:
For me, I always recommend flashing the stock rom that matches the custom ROM version. So since PN is on 7.1.2, you'll probably want to flash the stock rom that's on 7.1.1 (N6 doesn't get 7.1.2 FYI).

Afterward, use the Wugfresh Nexus Toolkit to get the custom rom setup and it'll also help get the TWRP installed along with the bootloader unlocked. I never had a problem using this method so that's just my word. If you want to fastboot everything, feel free to do so.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] n.venasquez:
I'm confident via fastboot method, fastboot oem unlock, flash recovery etc thanks for the patience answering my questions much appreciated and helped me a lot..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] az_r2d1:
No kidding, you said exactly what I was thinking. There is only a few that ruin it for all in here. Their stuck up high and mighty attitude WILL scare off anyone who wants to get into this. They attacked me too and luckily the moderator wiped their stupid and useless comments. I think the FAQ needs to be updated more frequently, if only they could wisely use their negativity to document this stuff instead of shooting people down for asking questions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AllenR85:
So I'm having a very bad issue and I'm wondering if anyone else is running into this problem and has suggestions for a fix before I just attempt a reset.

Whenever someone calls and leaves me a voicemail, I won't get the notification I have a message unless I restart my device. Has been going on for a while now.

However the big issue I discovered just a bit ago is I cannot call 911. It just locks up and closes the app. I uninstalled the latest updates for the phone app, but that did not work.

Again just curious if anyone else is running into these issues before I just go straight into resetting or reflashing the entire device.

Specifically, what sorts of notifications would it block? Play books, games, movies, music, and store all have their own notification settings so I would think that they wouldn't be blocked. What's left?

Settings >> Notifications & set it for the APPS that you want it for. Here's a website that discusses more about notifications in Nougat: https://www.tomsguide.com/us/manage-android-nougat-notifications,review-4029.html
[Nexus 6 Android Development] milocj:
I have installed version 2.0.10 from apkmirror and it works fine. But version 2.1.12 of PlayStore I can not install it. It's strange, because on Nexus 5 with PureNexus ROM 7.1.2 if I was able to update it to that version.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nucleotide:
No stuck up high and mighty attitude here. Bottom line... this is a "development forum". The issue... way too many self entitled people come in here and ask downright stupid questions without doing a single ounce of research themselves.

Prime example - someone posted a page back wanting clarification re. flashing this ROM. All the information you need, including the step by step process is available just by reading the first few posts. It is these kinds of posts that create frustration among others. If you can't follow those steps and work the rest out yourself, especially considering this is a Nexus device and the flashing process is probably the easiest and most straightforward of any device, than you have no business whatsoever being here.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] txtsd:
Just curious, is there an explanation as to why we've been switching between gapps and AOSP apps?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Piksou:
Thanks Mate, worked indeed. Maybe it's because it's nodpi while the last one has multiple dpi variants? Very weird...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
User demand. For the most part Beans used AOSP apps but recently ran a poll on Google+ asking what the userbase preferred. GApps decisively won.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aguacateojos:
Hey y'all, I'm also having trouble with the 7.1.1 update notification. I'm on 6.0.1 and don't want to upgrade (dat Xposed) but can't find an option to turn off automatic updates anywhere - help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Developer options

And this has been discussed in this thread and through out the N6 forum ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aguacateojos:
True. And I've read the responses in this thread. But the solution provided here, to turn off updates in the Developer Settings, won't work for me because that option isn't in my menu. Which is why I asked here, a forum that is sometimes helpful. I'm sorry to have bothered you.

I can't help but be amused by the discussion about toxic users a few pages back. Toxic users? On XDA? Never!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
I don't remember which service it is...

But if you download "My Android Tools" from the play store... There is a receiver in play services I think... Something about system and update... That you can disable that will not only stop the notification... But also any associated battery drain... Since it calls home waaaaay too often
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Or maybe just tap Build number in Settings/About Phone until "You are now a developer"...?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
That's to access the menu... Since we're on pure Nexus... We know the menu is there... However... Beans removed the system update switch back then... Which removed part of the receiver...

And... Even though the switch is removed... Google can still force the update down your throat... Which is why you have to get the rest of it...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I must be misunderstanding. I have the "Automatic updates" option. Is this not what the poster is asking about?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
He's on a 6.0.1 release...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
And had you provided that bit of information, then the rest of the world would have known you had attempted to help yourself and a remind that 6 was different.

It's kinda like that guy in front of you in a car who slams on the brakes and turns right into a alleyway without warning. You're supposed to just know he does that every day. ?

Hi all quick (sort of ) question...ive been running PN 7.1.1 for the longest time and notice we have an update, so I was getting ready to dirty flash it and could not boot in to recovery...used root checker and it says I have no root. Weird...how the heck would I lose root? I am assuming I jst need to re do all the steps in nexus root tool and redo it all? I really dont want to clean flash and lose everything or back it all up. Aso...is it fairly normal to lose root like that and what would cause it? Ive dl'd no updates at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Think twice or ten times about that dirty flash:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ROCTINpYR2M2QZ-uzErZSNK8gjIm_bXS6sXL83YePd0/pub

04/23/17 Release Changelog

Change: roms will now be signed user builds instead of unsigned debug builds

NOTE: with the rom being signed with private keys now a clean flash is mandatory, you will be able to dirty flash from official to official builds in the future, but you cant dirty flash from unofficial to official, and you cant dirty flash from another rom to purenexus.

TWRP has it's own root, so what you see in the device with an app is totally irrelevant to recovery. PN has been coming without root for a long time. Did you flash a root method with the last install you did? Is your TWRP older than 3.1.1-0?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SDQB17:
I dont mind cleanflashing, I was just going going by the first page here where Pure Nexus is updated...it says ok to dirty flash if coming from a Pure Nexus build..but I can clean flash ...maybe that should not be there? Anyway...I try and boot into recovery and it just says bootloader unlocked ok...like there is no recovery...weird. I'll just do it all over clean. Nexus Root tool still ok to use?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
My opinion of root tool kits, because they like to bite.

what can I do?

what I'll need to do for f2fs to not loose internal storage data / media? which partition to convert to f2fs? just /system ?

thanks for education
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jbaumert:
Since you are coming from a non-PN ROM (and a 6.0 one at that), you NEED to do a full wipe of the phone as stated on the first page:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nucleotide:
In regards to the 7.1.1 update notification - for me personally, I found that by disabling Automatic Updates in the developer options wasn't enough. I had to go into Settings > Notifications tap on Google Play Services, turn on Block all notifications, and then turn it back off again. This removed the update notification.

Hope that makes sense. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] paour:
It will come back. The only permanent solution so far is to use MyAndroidTools to disable the SystemUpdateServiceActiveReceiver broadcast receiver in Google Play Services as suggested by [MENTION=3290808]rignfool[/MENTION].

I'm having another problem - I couldn't get rid of that update notification so I decided to flash the newest version of Pure Nexus. So far I've had multiple clean installations of 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 loop the loading screen for 30+ minutes. Is there something that I'm missing with installing N roms?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Nucleotide:
Correct. The Android source code is plain text and it becomes 32bit or 64bit once compiled in which case, it could, assuming you had everything else needed, run on a 32bit device.

BUT... you need more than just the Android source; a lot of which is closed source and may only be released for specific devices AND only in 64bit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
What TWRP and bootloader versions? They both need to be the newest.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] paour:
Sadly even disabling this doesn't completely block the notification, I still got it after about a day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
Is there an option in SDmade for Motorola Update Services? Disable that too if there is.

Aaaand you are totally correct, I wasn't updated. It has been forever since I jumped between updates and I didn't even think about that. Thanks for the suggestion, it got me through!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] MysticKing32:
I had this same issue man. I never tried calling 911 however. Luckily I didn't have too. But whenever people would call me on my nexus 6 sometimes the phone wouldn't ring at all and it was sending people straight to voicemail for some reason. I wouldnt even get a missed call notification most of the time. No matter which rom I was on. I had to install google voice and set that as my default voicemail app. No other system worked. Then google voice would send me an email and that's how I'd know people had called. It sucked.

I honestly don't think there's a way to fix it either. (The voicemail thing) The 911 calling is very important. So you definitely need that. One of the posts mentioned setting a phone app as default and then it worked.

But anyways, I ended up having to upgrade. I couldn't take it anymore. I got the galaxy s8 plus now. Slower updates but at least it's working.
