[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Something that I've noticed on every ROM and every build in the last year or more is that my media volume will slowly degrade over time. I think it's device related and not specific to any ROM or kernel, as it's been there forever regardless of if I'm on stock, PN, CM, and what kernel I'm using.

Manually running the volume down to zero and then back up to the level I want has always gotten me back on track. Muting, then unmuting never helped much, but running the volume down through the steps to zero and back up fixes it every time for me. I typically set volume to maxed out, because I need to hear it in my pocket at my noisy job.

Rebooting also fixes it for me, but that's really a last resort. I had a Tasker scheduled reboot about 20 minutes before my alarm goes off, so I wouldn't miss my work alarm. The down side to that is that a lot of overnight notifications get nuked when you reboot, and don't show back up on the next boot (Gmail, SMS, missed calls, turn notifications in games, etc)

After switching to PN 7.1.1 two weeks ago, my idle battery drain jumped to ~1.6%/hr

Did a wipe and clean install, dynamic Gapps and restored apps from the play store. BBS shows higher screen time off but didn't see any rogue apps, only noticed that android topped the list under alarms. I've turned off location tracking, google assistant and gone through all apps requesting location access.

You sure are a toxic group. Believe it or not I actually did Google and search the thread before I posted. I searched for "force Navbar right" and unfortunately the author of the article posted it a little bit different.

I am honestly not too worried about having the latest and greatest. The main reason I updated was because after a day or 2 I would get slowdowns and lag that could only be fixed by a restart.

I would love for him to make a Froyo rom. That time period was the best for Android. My Evo 3D with a custom Sense rom was the best experience I have ever had. Also the thread were a much better place at the time. When people asked a question others tried to help, there wasn't any 3500 page threads filled with comments saying "search". Pretty pathetic what it's came to and we have "recognized contributors" jumping in on the action.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
whats pathetic is the mindset that XDA is a help forum for people who dont want to be bothered with doing the research on their issues and solving them on their own, just wanting to have a "cooler" phone they can show off to their friends

This WAS a developers forum, and now its become a android help site for those that want their problems solved for them

Could not agree more with you about how XDA was then, but no longer. :(

Hello.

Enjoying this ROM. But I want a little "feature" request.

As you suggest dynamic gapps with this ROM and especially I have different bugs when installing others I want to ask you to provide a package that replaces AOSP apps with their Google analogs. For example AOSP WebView with Google one's, Calculator, Dialer and etc in order to get updates for these apps via Google Play.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Webview isn't even used in Android 7, so there's no real point in switching that one out. Is there any reason you can't just download the ones you want from the store and disable the AOSP versions by deleting them with root or from recovery? That seems a bit more reasonable than to ask the ROM developer to release and maintain a completely separate and parallel version of gapps for you, so you don't have to install a half dozen apps and delete the ones you don't like.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EminSG:
First of all of course it is used. Devs are not stupid:)

It is used when you don't use Chrome Browser, as I know

Regarding Gapps.

1) I don't want to have apps that I don't use in my system

2) Apps, that I'll install from GP will not be system apps (as for me, WebView or Phone app must be system ones)

That's why I don't want to disable and install on my own.

Uninstalling this kind of apps is also not a solution because after every update I should uninstall them and move to system ones from GP. That's just a pain.

That's why I ask to provide an add-on package that removes unnecessary libs/apps and ect. and replaces with Google ones.

Till this time I used a Google Stock package from OpenGapps and was running a script that deletes "bloatware" like G+ and others.

This solution won't work for this ROM
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
There's an OASP remover somewhere that will remove all of the AOSP apps for a clean install. You need to use full package though, pico doesn't have everything.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
I wasn't calling you stupid, for what it may be worth. Fair point about the chrome browser.

I still stand by the original statement that maintaining a separate, but similar, gapps package is a larger pain for a ROM developer than it is for you as a user to freeze/delete the ones you don't like and install the ones you do.

As you have established that you're not stupid, I will agree and operate under the assumption that you already know how to make them into system apps on your own. No instruction necessary.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] osurferx:
Are you sure you don't have night light on?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EminSG:
Relax. Nobody calls someone stupid. I mean there is a point including AOSP Webview in ROM.

It's not so hard to do as you think. This ROM developers provide their own Gapps which makes for them actually more pain:)

I have already answered the reasons I'm requesting this. Wanna wait for a dev reply.

Finally I will write this package on my own or just switch to another ROM and flashing as I used to
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:

As far as I underetand this PN rom I using already have its own custom kernel.

Does it contain required function to use kcal ?

Or if the PN kernel is a different branch then a kernel containing rgb calibration feature, is it possible to merge this feature into a PN kernel ?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] seabro01:
Should be able to use kcal with PN kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xda-dvlprs:
sorry, wish in next update rom has setting for apps 'startup on boot' priviligies like nitrogen os. if you add this feature other devs. add option to nexus 4.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anoukaimee:
I'm having the same issue, but I'm on Project FI. Clean flashed after installing unencrypted 7.1.1 build thru Nexus Toolkit, then trying NitrogenOS and having those speakerphone issues; tried uninstalling/reinstalling GAPPS (used) full dynamic package.

I didn't even have an icon for a phone (but I'm a true noob, unlike the poster above appears to be).

I'm going to start over by reinstalling the factory image and trying a clean flash with the mini GAPPS package.

Otherwise, in love with PureNexus. Need to make a call tho...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] torecdude:
When i apply a substratum theme, should i choose v7.1 or v7.1_oms?

what does oms means?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
The Icon for the Phone is included in the ROM, don't think its in the dynamic apps package. It has a lighter blue color then the google one and includes different number look ups
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anoukaimee:
Thank you! It didn't show up at all, though, in either the apps box at the bottom or going into settings/apps. I finally installed it from apkmirror and it didn't work (not a huge surprise, given that I admittedly don't really know what I'm doing--I did a clean flash directly from the new NitrogenOS--which did have the various dialers, including the lighter blue one--to the Pure Nexus when I couldn't hear anyone OR get out of speakermode).

Questions if you can answer (please don't crucify me (!!!)--I'd post this on the "noob, no stupid questions" page except we already have this thread going): I am, theoretically, at least, able to upgrade from Nexus 7.0.0 (NBD91X) to 7.1.1 (N6F26FQ) if I use Project Fi? And then go to this custom rom? Or can I actually just skip over the Google 7.1.1 OTA to this Pure Nexus? And does it matter if I installed either of the Google OTAs as unencrypted?

I just contacted Project Fi, and they were (unsurprisingly) unable/unwilling to give me any answers other than basically "this falls into a gray area; we're not doing OTA updates for Nexus 6 since support ended in 10/16..."

Thank you. Is a *great* ROM, just want to make it work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexX-DE:
You must choose v7.1_oms!

OMS: Sony developed its own theme engine and called it Overlay Manager Service, or OMS. OMS is a server-client solution and has the advantage, among other things, that even major changes to the theme can be accomplished without reboot live. The new substratum is now such a client for OMS and brings purely the advantages of the Layers Theme Engine and a few other goodies on Android devices starting from Marshmallow. Another advantage of substratum: The themes are very similar to the cyanogen themes, and themes developed for Android 6 can also work without problems on Android N.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
Your posts are hard to understand. I can't figure out what you did and what you want to do. I would suggest you read the installation guide on the 2nd or 3rd page, and study it.

If you install pure nexus correctly, you will be happy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anoukaimee:
I did that, but I'm having problems; anyway, fine. Basically just want to make sure that I can go from 7.0.0 to 7.1.1 by clean flashing this Pure Nexus release over an unencrypted OTA version of 7.0.0 (NBD91X).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahenkpatel:
I thought that the nexus 6 speakerphone bug is resolved in the latest build but I am still facing the speakerphone echo issue even on 01/21/17 build. Any fix for this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
When you flash a new ROM, you erase the old one, clean install, so your old ROM has nothing to do with the install.

Read the install a clean flash in the installation on the 3rd Page I think.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anoukaimee:
Thanks, that's what I thought; I thought maybe there was a bug or something and my radio image got wiped out (this guide for an old install said to flash the newest radio image; didn't know if I was missing something and that held true for this version, too). Or that doing it over an unencrypted stock kernel would screw things up.

Thank you for your patience and help; will try again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] p-kirill:
For all who have speaker issue:

I can confirm that this ROM: PN by 21.jan.2017 has speaker echo FIXED, when properly installed: wipe all from TWRP (maybe except SD) and install ROM + GApps dynamic.

(I did not installed SU)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] torecdude:
I'm using reverie substratum theme on the latest pure nexus build.

I noticed my nexus gets stuck often and the touch latency is quite high.

This is not the first theme I've used and I was wondering if there are other people around here that phone's performance had decreased since installing substratum.

I really wish I could enjoy all of this customization.

Without hurting performance so much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mervingio:
Can confirm using Spotify

I decided to give PN a try today; being on stock for a long time.

I must say this ROM packs a punch; it has great features and all. The only thing missing for me is TINTED BARS, I hope [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] adds it at some point.

Thanks for the reply. It may be that simply turning the volume all the way down and back up again was all that was needed. Seems simple, but it was unexpected to have to do that.

Wifi calling on Verizon with Pure Nexus

I have looked through this thread, and found that wifi calling, although it appears on the phone service menu *#*#4636#*#*, the wifi setting (and video calling for that matter) reverts to off when after exiting the phone service menu. I am on 1/21/2017 with Dynamic Gapps starting from a clean flash as well as current bootloader/radios

Is there any way to get wifi calling with Verizon to work on this phone, and with Pure Nexus? Any links on the subject I missed in my search? Most discussion is centered around Google Project Fi, which I don't think is quite what I am looking for given my carrier is Verizon.

Thanks, and great work on the Pure Nexus Rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
I hope it works for you. I was late for work a couple times before I figured it out. Here's to that not happening to you!

I have a question about fi. I'm about to switch from Sprint to project fi and was wondering if I need to do anything other than pop in the SIM. Current release of PureNexus.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
Don't think so, my fi sim was already in phone when I flashed Pure Nexus. My fi works excellent on this ROM.

I've been using fi for more then 18 months and it keeps getting better. Make sure you also install signal spy. Its an app that works with fi. Its a must have for fi.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardoc64:
Thanks for the tip. I was reasonably sure that I wouldn't have to do anything, but it's good to hear from someone who is already there. I'm about to go to Spain to visit my brother in law and switching to fi is cheaper than adding the Sprint international thing. $30 a gig for data? No way.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kwdan:

Will I lose any data or settings with the dirty flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Poojan Patel:
No.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexX-DE:
No, you must only flash the rom.zip in twrp.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Poojan Patel:
Dont forget to flash gapps after flashing rom zip.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexX-DE:
Not necessary... The Google Apps remain after dirty flash the Rom.. Only SuperSU or phh he must flash again for root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Poojan Patel:
No, gapps are installed on system partition on on data partition. In dirty flash, you are wiping only systerm partition. So you will have to flash gapps after falshing rom.zip. If its an OTA file then you dont have to do dirty wipe, in this case, your gapps remains.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] acex1:
I have dirty flashed the rom and SU and up to now it seems that there is no problem with the gapps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexX-DE:
This is what i say... :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Poojan Patel:
My bad. I always thought that in dirty wipe, you have to wipe system.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pv24:
Dirty flash the rom, or download the rom.zip, open the zip, extract the boot.img file, then go to TWRP recovery, select install, select Install IMG or image, should be in bottom left corner, select your boot.img and flash it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
You *should* wipe /system in a dirty flash. There's several different apps and packages that have scripts in /system that allow for saving the data from them to be restored after flash. A dirty flash wipes those potentially troublemaking scripts out by clearing system before those install scripts can be used, making sure you're not carrying over something like the broken Gapps from when Beans updated Gapps to work properly with the Ok Google detection.

All your user data, apps, and settings stay untouched because you're not wiping /data but remnants of the old /system partition are fully removed, causing that many fewer possibile weird errors and bugs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imjimmy:
I had assumed that when we dirty flash the ROM it overwrites the system automatically. And that you only need to clear cache before flashing.

If one is dirty flashing, why would there be a need to clear system separately before flashing the ROM?

Also another question: would the updated Gapps have to be flashed again to incorporate the speakerphone fix? I had just flashed the speakerphone fix zip file. And I was assuming that while dirty flashing I would not have to flash Gapps, just the ROM and the kernel.

Wouldn't it be a problem to flash GAPPS separately unless one is doing a clean flash? I've heard people having problems with flashing Gapps when dirty flashing. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Because, like I said in the post you quoted, there are scripts in /system that will make backup copies of things in /system when you go to flash the ROM and then restore them after the ROM has finished installing.

This can cause anomalies when flashing an updated ROM with a fix built in over top of the previous version of that ROM without the fix built. I'd suggest flashing the gapps if you're wiping system while dirty flashing, as gapps are installed to /system and one of those things that traditionally has a script to save them are gapps. When you wipe /system you delete the scripts intended to make temporary backups of and restore the gapps (among other things, depending on what all you've installed. SuperSU used to have that, when it wasn't systemless. I don't think it does now, because there's more to gaining root than just having the su binary in place these days)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imjimmy:
Thanks for the response. That does make sense.

Just to clear - what you are recommending is to wipe system - then flash ROM and Gapps. That makes sense to me. The only issue might be that all the Gapps updated through the playstore would be overwritten with the Gapps package (with older versions) and might cause conflicts? Plus the settings for the Gapps would not carryforward (without the backup scripts) and this would almost be like setting all of them up, new - as we do during clean flashing (without overwriting the user apps and data).

I apologize if I am wrong about this, and I know clean flash is probably the best way to go. But I was just wondering whether it is possible to dirty flash with a "corrected/updated" Gapps package without having problems down the road.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Any updates from the play store are written to the data partition, so they are not overwritten. System will use the latest version.

All settings are also on the data partition,so they are not lost .

Google assistant not working

Thanks for such an awesome ROM. It's amazing, but unfortunately my Google assistant is not working with voice search. Everytime I say "OK Google", it asks me to retrain the voice model. And also the toggle for voice search everywhere seems to get turned off automatically and I am not able to enable it back. Is anyone else having the same issue ? Does anyone know how to fix it ?

I did clean install of this ROM (21st Jan update) and GApps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sruel3216:
Mine works and I dirty flashed mine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
What gapps did you flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imjimmy:
Thanks for responding.

So a dirty flash with Wiping system and then flashing ROM + Gapps will be the same as the normal dirty flash (when the system is not wiped and the ROM is flashed without Gapps)? Meaning all the settings etc will be in the same place.

I will try this out, but just wanted to confirm. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KingpinZero:
Thank you for this great ROM, is truly amazing.

I have only one problem tho, that doesn't happen with other Roms:

I cannot cast my device with my Miracast or Intel WiDi anymore.

I used to cast it before, same phone, same dongle but different ROM (Velocity Shamu), but since switching to Pure I cannot anymore.

ROM is clean flashed.

Basically I see the adapter, I hit connect, it tries to but then the connection fails.

Other devices are fine (albeit not Nexuses). It was this one too.

Just a thought in case this bug isn't known yet.

Thank you!

Look for aLogcat, SysLog, CatLog, etc.
