Or try a different kernel.

---------- Post added at 01:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

I'm using the Hells-Core kernel. Smooth as butter. But there are other good kernels too. It's just a matter of personal preference.

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

This is probably the most stable rom I've ever tried. (and I've tried a lot) Not one hitch or glitch after weeks of using it.

Unfortunately I'm at work and dont have access to starting fresh. Luckily I was able to factory reset in TWRP just to get it going again but lost everthing...AGAIN. Oh well, thats the joys of android, trial and error.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 26.2man:
Im getting ready to come over to try this rom. Which build date should I start with?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fouad Aslam:
9/17 build (the latest) is working fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dcrewchief:
Now maybe it will let you do your restore.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LuRock:
Rom is running like a champ! Thanks OP for your work..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treezy26:
If you mean restore as in a backup, no. It got deleted in the process of the factory reset. This is what happens when you don't keep a backup stored somewhere else besides on your phone. Oh well, as soon as I get home I am gonna start brand new by unrooting and everything else needed to start fresh.

Some questions before I take the plunge again...Does being encrypted have anything to do with TWRP acting up every now and then? All this started when trying to flash another rom that forced encryption and ever since then I've had nothing but problems with TWRP and storage?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kreateablaze:
I am encrypted and have no problems with TWRP or flashing roms or kernels.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treezy26:
Any idea what could have happened somewhere down the line?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kreateablaze:
Idk... What kernel were you flashing? What was your procedure?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treezy26:
I was trying to flash HC b11 and b12 and kept getting a bootloop. Normally when I flash kernels I wipe cache's before and after. But this time it wouldn't boot up so I went back to TWRP to restore my backup and in the middle of restoring it shut off and went to the google splash screen. So in TWRP I checked the logs and it said unable to mount system partition which is odd so I kept trying and nothing would work. Finally after about three tries is when it asked for password in TWRP. So IDK what happened, had to factory reset to get it up and running again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kreateablaze:
What kernel were you on before trying to flash hc

So I'm confused, how do I tell if I'm encrypted or not?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ricco333:
Check Settings/Security/Encryption, if you are encrypted it should say "Encrypted"

Erik
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
I used say that if you don't know then you are...

Until I started reading threads and became convinced that ~10% or so of people who think they are not encrypted don't understand what's going on well enough to do it right, and the difference is so small just the notion of having modified something gives them a "performance boost"

Easy way is to go into settings->security then under encryption select "encrypt phone".

If you are unencrypted it will warn you to charged and give you a button to encrypt.

There are 2 issues with unencrypting.

-the stock kernel checks to see if encryption is used, and if its not it forces you to apply it. You need a kernel with forced encryption turn off, and in case of upgrades or whatever... Make sure you don't flash a stock boot.IMG and boot with it.

-once the userdata portion is encrypted it needs to be formatted to unencrypt for security. This is not the same as wiping " data" from recovery (though your recovery may have an option to format userdata). A freshly formated userdata partition is unencrypted by default until encryption is setup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sully112277:
Just figured I would share my situation. Used euphoria pretty much since I stated with my nexus 6. Always stock kernal. Happy with it but wanted to try something new. Beans always had the best rom for the note 2 so I figured I would give it a try. Instantly better! Even two weeks later still running great. Usually things fall apart by now and have to do a clean flash. Not the case now. Got curious so tried a new kernal. Holly hell do I have great battery life now. Not that it wasn't before but now its a cut above. About 5 hrs on screen time. Also working great on Google fi. Here's my config if anyone is interested.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 26.2man:
Just wanted to pass on my experience since just flashing this rom. WOW! what a nice rom, the customizations are all I need to get my phone the way "I" want it to look and act. It's only been about 4 hours but it's been smooooth so far. The only thing to make it totally perfect is to see what kind of SOT I get. I'm running the kernal that came with the rom. Just curious what others of you use that are geting the 4-5 hrs SOT are using? Beans, thank you for a really nice rom. I can see myself using this rom for a long time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Enter The Nexus:
Can't search either?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Not really.

The only time that encryption matters is if you are decrypted and flash a kernel that forces encryption. Then it will do you the favor of wiping /userdata which includes the /data and /sdcard mounts.

Personally, I stayed encrypted for like the first 6 months I had this phone... Figured I wasn't missing much for the added risk. Recently, I went ahead and decrypted and definitely notice the phone seems snappier.

If you want to leave it safe after decrypting, try flashing this zip after flashing a kernel. Supposedly, it removes the forced encryption flag in the boot cmdline. I haven't tried it myself, but it's a simple enough concept to remove the text via the anykernel script... So I don't see why it wouldn't work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62866074

Personally, I would probably just get the rom you want and another copy of twrp. Reboot into the bootloader, format /recovery /system and /username then flash recovery and the rom through fastboot.

Just don't do all three at once, or you might have issues. Do recovery, make sure it boots, then do the other two.

Should fix whatever issues you might have.

Just make sure to backup your stuff first as this will wipe anything you've put on the phone.

Just my two cents.

To tell if you're encrypted, it says "encrypted" in settings>security. If you're decrypted, it says "encrypt phone" if you've never formatted /userdata manually or decrypted through settings>security (wipes the phone too and takes forever) you're probably encrypted still.

I just flashed 9-17 clean, like total phone wipe, added this script via the flashed way and did hells b9-t4 mako and mikes settings. I am letting the phone sit and charge. Tomorrow will be the test.

Thanks for tip, I do appreciate it.

Quick question. My nexus is encrypted, I am running pure with hc kernel. Can I just fastboot format userdata or is there more to it, do I need to be on stock ROM?

(I am just going to assume hc does not force encryption... If for some weird reason it does thats on you to figure out :P)

There is really nothing more to it.

As I understand, its just that userdata partition that is encrypted. It being encrypted is just the system using an algorithm to scramble the data. This can be done by choice on most (all?) android devices, but the kernel has something like a line that would say

force_encryption = True

(I have NO idea if its that simple, but its my understanding its basically just an attribute set prior to compiling the kernel)

When you format userdata, its not encrypted... If the kernel is not set to tell the system that you HAVE to use encryption, it never gets encrypted. Its that simple.

The rom is basically system.img (OK so the rom probably has a boot image too with its kernel but the main "os"...), so the two are not really related.

Having soup fascist thread flashback's. ?

Nobody in this thread minds helping a brother (or sister) in a rush out. ✌

For the record, Pure can be used with Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, AT&T, and even Google FI as well as all the usual MVNO's.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Agreed...well, I kind of get the source of the sentiment of the previous poster you quoted, but I completely disagree with leaving a sarcastic comment and nothing more.

Echoing your sentiment, if one desires to help, then help, if one desires to express frustration over what appears to be a lack of effort on the part of the user, then there are kind ways to deliver that message. Further, the poster was honest in the sentiment...too busy...instead of couching it in deceit.

Irrespective, thanks for bringing back a good joke without naming other roms.

The vibe hear should be fun, supportive and useful.

This ROM is truly amazing, I have flashed many but this one is always hands down the best many of the others are good but nothing is as smooth, better battery life, or just down right as good as this ROM. [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] many thanks to you for your efforts, and the time you put into building this. Great community to be a part of, I don't post often because I have nothing but praise and usually all the other great people in here have already answered any questions with better answers than I could ever give. Just a quick thanks to Beans and all who make this the best rom on XDA.

This was random for me......then I did a full factory build of the "F" build with the the 102R radio, then flashed a clean install of Pure with the dialer and things have been golden for about 10 days now..........I'm digging Fi on this ROM

So after a stressful day yesterday of returning to stock, I'd thought I'd give Android pay a run for its money. Literally lol. I know its corny. Anyways, was able to set it up and use it. Not really anything different from wallet so I'm not sure what the big deal is. So, after playing around on stock I thought to myself, hmmm maybe I should stay how Google would like us to. NAAAAAHHHH!!! Not even an hour into it was I rooted and back on PurnNexus lol. Just couldn't stay away...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
Welcome back. Sorry about your loss of hair yesterday. It sucks when you are at work and something goes wonky. Been there a few times myself and you never feel as trapped at a job, than being in that situation. :silly:

Ya, I don't use Pay at all for paying for things. I use Wallet mainly for loyalty cards at stores and restaurants. If there was an app that could sensibly store those, I'd ditch Wallet/Pay altogether. Tbh, I haven't even looked for one because Wallet still functions for everything I want. Tap to Pay is off, but since I don't use it I don't care. Once le Goog turns off the app, then I might look around. But by then, we'll hopefully have a work Pay somewhere.

What about it? Confused by your question. With Photos, Dropbox, Drive, almost every other file manager, why would anyone need that feature from QuickPic? You can already integrate the aforementioned clouds in the 4.5.2 version. Although, I have removed those permissions from the app and have firewalled QP completely.

I remembered why the aosp ROMs have always given me a problem. I get bad reception at work. I still usually get 4g in most areas. Well if I go into a3g area aosp never seems to switch back to 4g without going into airplane mode. Does anyone have a fix or does anyone else gave this problem?

Weird issue that I am sure is not rom related but people here are nice☺. I just updated google now launcher and the google app and ok google on any screen is gone!! No option to turn it back on where it normally is. Did this happen to anyone else?

The only other option I have found that is worth anything would be Stocard - this app works with Android Wear too!

Mine did the same. Hit your home button and it will come back. You now will have a vertically scrolling app drawer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaiser47:
Hmm don't think I explained that well. The ok google voice detection on any any screen is gone. I can only say ok google from the google app or a google launcher screen. It used to be in google voice settings, ok google detection but in the latest update the only option is to use it in the app or launcher.

See the two attached images.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Profits of Doom:
That's odd. Here's my options :

It will let me even with screen off if I train the voice model.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaiser47:
Hmm wierd ok i'll try to clean flash and see if that fixes. You are on the let's play services, google launcher, and google app right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Stocard seems spammy. I went with cardmate personally. 3megs is fair for an app to store images of cards. Stocard is like 20megs because it shows coupons at you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Profits of Doom:
Yup. I am on the marshmallow bootloader, I don't know if that makes a difference or not though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blaiser47:
Yeah me too. What gapps do you use?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
It wouldn't...the only things of which I can think that could help are clearing app cache and retraining voice, and making sure that one is running the latest Google Play Services.

You have many options of which you can avail...

1. Try CyanogenMod based roms, since they use a different telephony array

2. Try SlimLP based roms, as I believe that they are slightly different in their approach to telephony

3. Stock rooted or custom, as these types of roms should run perfectly for you

4. Provide a bit more detail on your 3G/4G issue wherein you must toggle airplane mode in order to get 4G back, since I've never encountered this issue, but others may have. Details could include...

-->The modem you're running

-->The version of this rom you're on

-->The kernel you are running

-->As logcat of exactly what is happening under the hood when you must manually toggle to get your 4G back

Many thanks.

Well thank you for your reply. Cyanogen gives me the same problem. Stock is great but I have not found one yet that has the 4 way reboot menu (bootloader, recovery, reboot, hot boot). I use this often. Guess I'll have to go back to stock.

Also cyanogen gives me the same issue. I haven't tried any kernels. Do you have recommendations?

So as some of you may know, I had a little ordeal yesterday after trying a different kernel. Well I really would like to try Hells with Mike's settings but am afraid now lol.

And I'm at work so I'm not on my phone that much. Any pointers on what exactly is to be done to properly flash a kernel?

As I noted, I've never encountered this issue on this rom or any AOSP rom that is stable, though I'm certain that others may have encountered it...you'll need to provide a logcat while this issue is actually happening before anyone can even begin to suggest kernels, etc.

As to stock, you have many options for 4x1 reboot menus, including Power Toggles, or Quick Boot,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot

This is an app that provides a 4x1 reboot menu for root users, example below...
