[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dopamin3:
It is 100% kernel dependent, nothing to do directly with the ROM. If your device is currently unencrypted and you flash a ROM whose kernel forces encryption, you will have your device 100% wiped after booting into the OS. If you are encrypted, you will be fine either way with a force encryption kernel or encryptable, your data will remain.

So in the instance of remaining unencrypted but using ROMs that come with forced encryption kernels out of the box (like Cyanogenmod for instance) , just flash the ROM and before booting into the OS flash a kernel that doesn't force encryption. Pretty much all kernels don't do this (Franco, Blackbird, ElementalX, Hellscore, etc...)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EAK128:
Is VoLTE band dependent? I notice sometimes it doesn't work, as in switches to H.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fast69mopar:
EAK128, are you with ATT?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dpalmer76:
Mine does the same and I am ATT
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fast69mopar:
If you are with ATT it can be depending on what band you are connected to at the moment. AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I thought ATT did not support VoLTE on Nexus phones. I have ATT and I have never been able to use VoLTE to my knowledge.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dpalmer76:
Probably right! ATT not stamped on the back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Project Fi, doesn't either, technically. If you're on Sprint, it doesn't, but on T-Mobile, it does. Which sucks for me, because my phone is blacklisted by T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] leondestiny:
since Lean Kernel is my favourite ,that was the one i flashed after the rom.. hm.

but i am unencrypted again now.. to think that this encryption thing was this much sensitive.. if i knew about it i would not have unencrypted my phone :/

i think i will format my phone again and just keep it encrypted ,i am to lazy to keep backing up my files in case i flash something in the future and wreck my whole data again ,that would be really hellish man :crying:

so um i guess the decrypted(unencryption) is not really giving me that much of a big benefit does it ? i mean the phone was blazing fast even when it was encrypted.. hm.

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

many thanks for the detailed info, i would like to ask you whether if i now format my phone 'data factory' reset and re-flash PureNexus+Gapps+Radios+LeanKernel< i will then be encrypted again or not ?

and my more curious question is .. if i go encrypted again, then i will not have to worry about my data getting wiped because of all that froce-encryption stuff....... yes? :/ and it is not like there are Roms/Kernels that force decryption i guess haha.

so if i go encrypted i will not have to worry about my phone content getting wiped because of the encryption/decryption thing yep ?

thanks in advance !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Personally, I run my phone decrypted. There's some gain to having it decrypted, but depending on your use you might even really notice. There is a zip floating around in the forum that has it's own thread (don't have the bandwidth to look for it right now) that is supposed to disable forced encryption on any kernel. I assume it just edits the ramdisk to remove the line from the fstab, but I've never really looked into it much. No, you can't just do a wipe on the phone to re-encrypt. If you toggle the encrypt flag in the security settings of the rom (I can't think of the exact name, but it's obvious) it should wipe and re-encrypt the storage for you. However, there's no such option to decrypt. Like I said, Google doesn't really *want* you decrypted anymore thanks to all the celebrity hacks and such. If you're encrypted, no you don't ever get force decrypted.

I'm having issues regarding notifications. I am not receiving them properly at all. I have to unlock the device and go into the app to receive them. This is happening with Gmail,text messages, and others. Does anyone have this also?and is there a solution? Thx.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Doze, probably. You'll have to go into Settings > Apps, and turn off optimization for those.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
No issues with notifications at all, and they are controlled by Doze. I only have three apps that are exempted from Doze and they prompted to change doze settings on install. Are you using some battery saver tricks, like Greenify, Amplify, Power Nap? Those can cause this stopping notifications.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
Same here. It drops to "No service" and regains full coverage in less than 15 seconds. I'm on the 95R radio (old, but the new ones act wonky for me).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
What's the deal with the lock screen weather? I put in my zip code and it choose a nearby town, and the weather never updates.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] leondestiny:
thanks, i think you might be talking about the fd patcher, maybe if i had flashed that zip after flashing the Rom(that came with a forced encryption kernel) that could have avoided my storage from being wiped..

i think i will just go encrypted again just in case.. i would not want to lose all my data again.

Edit : what in you opinion is better when you are decrypted ?

and also how do i go on to completely remove the decryption so i am fully encrypted again ( i want to be back encrypted to avoid running into a full content wipe )

thanks in advance!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Welcome to the club, as I have the same issue. In my case it only updates over WiFi, rendering weather useless. Beans is aware of the problem, but sending him a logcat is essential, otherwise the problem will not get fixed. In the meantime, install Accuweather from the Play Store if you want lockscreen weather.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] deadcatsrule:
Same here, lower northern Indiana,Verizon 34r and 32r
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fast69mopar:
I have the exact same issue with the 34r radio. My signal drops to zero and take 10-15 seconds to return in the same areas that I have great service with the 32r radio. I have tried the 34r radio all over the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex with the same results. I am a trucking company owner and one of the drivers as well. I have tried the 34r radio across the country and it does not work well for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Same issue here too....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Clark Joseph Kent:
Having no issues with my lock weather updates and reports, working great, did the custom location, using openweathermap as the source.

And no drop issues also, all notifications are coming in good to go. On Layers build, latest version, with 32R, since it came out...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Mine doesn't update either way. How would I get a logcat of an app that I can't directly open?

I have the same settings. In cLock settings, it says "Antelope" as my custom location, but it reports the weather in North Highlands, as 74 and clear. It's been that way for weeks. Calendar settings don't seem to work, either.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] oldman_58:
Download LogCat Extreme, it will allow collections of logs by app.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=scd.lcex

have you tried a clean install or maybe a cache and dalvik wipe?

So I've gotta couple quick ?s on build updates (not asking when one is coming) just is this still being maintained and looking at the settings is there somewhere to look and see when updates are posted. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
if you just look at the op, first post of this thread, you will see that there was an update released recently, and the activity in the thread.. this should tell you that the rom is still active. and when are updates posted? usually several days after new code comes out, like a regular android update.

Good looking out ... Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dawiseguy7701:
Now that N is in an actial beta release today will we be getting a rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Does Google release code with beta releases?

Answer: No.

So, how would you get a rom?

The best you could hope for is a smali hacked stock rom. Nothing from source.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dawiseguy7701:
They released the OTA today. Im sure it could be done from that. No need to be a jerk
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
No, it can't. Not outside of the way that I mentioned. It's not being a jerk, it's telling you facts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
thats not how developers put roms together, that how people that dont know how to develope put roms together. all you are doung is putting together that rom, not pure android.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xelerater01:
Thank you very much for such a wonderful rom.

1. I just need some help about kernels, which kernels are supported can someone guide me about names and download links?

2. How to download the stock kernel which is used in this rom by default, in case I want to revert back?

Best Regards,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I've tried that without success. Even a clean install doesn't work. As to what the bug is, in my case there is no bug while on WiFi. As soon as I move to mobile data and try to update weather, logcat generates a "malformed json" error.

For me it's been over a month now. At least with Accuweather (Pro) I don't have to deal with the headache of a glitch that isn't Beans' doing. When it gets fixed though, it will be a good day here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alresave:
1. Any kernel that has AOSP support should work, on the kernel's thread it should be specified. Also you could search "kernel" on this thread and the results should bring some kernel names you could try.

2. You could extract the boot.img from the ROM's zip, but it would be better if you backup system and boot with TWRP and restore if you have issues.

Whew. Was starting to believe it might be the new frame... I replaced the middle metal frame of my phone (with one that has no markings by the microUSB port, so it's a Chinese copy - but a very good one, in fact) and was fearing the antennas are screwed or something. :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xelerater01:
Thanks alot, I am thinking to try elememtalx

Did you try viper audio on this rom? And xposed framework?

And what is fstrim?

Best Regards,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
I use ElementalX, V4A, and Xposed (being careful to avoid conflict with ROM features) with great success. Search fstrim here on XDA for more than you want to know, but it is part of the OS and I let that handle itself.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Its something that users really never need to adjust.

Trim is a solid state storage utility. When memory blocks are "deleted" on ssd, they aren't wiped (no different than any other storage medium). However ssd can't overwrite the block, so it needs to wipe the blocks before it can write new data to them. Trim is a function that android will run, normally during idle time, when it's required to to exactly this. The goal is to offer faster writes when that storage is needed.

The problem with doing trim manually is that the same blocks end up being written/wiped/rewritten. As each block on an ssd device has a finite number of write cycles, this causes the device's load balancing mechanism to act wonky and can result in premature burn-out on select blocks.

More or less.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xelerater01:
Ok then I will also install ElementalX, is it better then default kernel which was used in this rom?

How to install v4a? And the latest version is 2.4.0.1?

It is different, not better. Kernels are personal choice. I ran stock for weeks and then tried four others before I decided what I liked. Read the posts about features of each and then read a few pages of comments to see what interests you.

I still haven't resolved my issue of the latest build killing my SIM card, but part of my troubleshooting was to clean flash the April build and that's what I've been running. I finally have everything configured and working as it used to before the clean flash, but I'm having a slightly annoying new issue with bluetooth that I've never had before (been running this ROM since November 2015). Every time I connect to either of my cars through bluetooth now it connects fine, but every time I have to confirm allowing access to my contacts and my messages. I never had to do that before after the initial pairing. I can't find any place to set it as default. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Hey, that actually worked! I forgot I had to toggle manual location on and off. Funny, I had it set manually still. Toggled it off and it updated, though it's still North Highlands. Can't really blame it, since I'm literally on the border of NH and Antelope.

This was after a clean install. I had to start fresh last week 'cause I updated Play Services to the latest (9.0.82, I think it was) from APKMirror, and it kept repeatedly crashing, even after restoring 8.7.03. Funny thing is, after that fiasco, it updated to 9.0.83 from the Play Store. Anyway, I fixed it. I'll check that app out. I normally use Catlog. but it's not a per-app basis.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Exchange Services is its own app now, and it too is on the Play Store. Look for com.google.android.gm.exchange. That said, a version of Exchange Services should be embedded in the ROM.

Gmail supports exchange email, but it imposes whatever rules the exchange admin imposes. For mine, the restrictions were way too restrictive. I use AquaMail pro and bypass their restrictions.

Break ups? How, exactly? Stutters? Pops? Crackles? Pausing for no reason?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
It's Admin dependent, as in you may not have any additional rules/restrictions on your account because your admin has not set them.

I use Nine for my exchange account as I can choose to apply my Admin restrictions to the app itself not the whole phone. I'm not going to give my work Admin, access to other phone data, even less access to wipe my phone.
