My apologies - I did find buffal0b1ll's post with said instructions, device manager and all - still no option to uninstall updates. I then went for the kill and went straight into /system/priv-app/PrebuiltGMSCore and literally deleted everything, libs and apk, and just rebooted straight to recovery, wiped caches and flashed only DU clear gapps (you know me too well haha) and.. booted into a Play Service FC. I feel like there was a super bizarre method posted (I actually thought it might have been you who posted it but I didn't tag you because I wasn't sure - so many GPS posts in that 2 -3 day window I just can't find a thing) but I am having a really tough time.. I have been having "tip-of-the-tongue" moments all the time during my recent bout of insomnia.. I can't quite place it but it was something rather drastic and I'm about 95% sure it was in the mountain of GPS fix suggestions in this thread - that being said, it's probably in the TBO thread or Temasek's or somewhere completely unrelated to this.. and I'm still not finding it. *banghead* haha, appreciate trying to help the helpless/hopeless, man. I also caught about 6 different recommended ways to flash gapps - wondering if wiping /system is sufficient.. that I could remember at least haha.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
those of us who are too lazy to do all that do this:

-got to titanium backup and go to manipulate data/wipe data for user and system apps, and find Google Play services

-wipe the data for that app only, then close TB

you will be prompted to set a default backup app, usually your gmail account..

Problem solved
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mcconvict:
I have a 2012 Ford as well. I have no problems Bluetooth wise. Maybe try a clean flash or different kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
AOSP clock and Google clock are 2 different apps. Try disabling or uninstalling the system clock.

Android Pay still not figured out yet.

Am I the only one getting delayed text messages? I can text my self and usually the lying come in 3s it's weird.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Here's more on it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62590594 . Basically, if you are not clean flashing, then don't wipe system and flash Gapps. That prevents this from happening. After damage is done, clean flash to correct it or sometimes sideloading play store, services, and/or search from apk mirror can bandaid the situation.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
These are typically symptomatic of kernel issues. What are you running in terms of kernel, and what adjustments, if any, have you made with a kernel tweaking app?

I'm running straight pure nexus. Haven't had time to find a good kernel for it yet. Which have you had best experience for battery life?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
It's an ongoing speculative sort of thing...although the odds of Android Pay working on a rooted device through some linear set of actions is nearly zero, folks still hope it'll happen...so I have put forth the theory that with enough hope and fervent faith, it could happen...thus the signature line and the fake beta test.

Mark your calendar.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] PhilDX:
for #1, uninstall all layer themes and do a full reboot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Well, if you're getting random reboots, etc, with the stock kernel and no tweaking, then I recommend you remove all layers from your device and run it for awhile...then let us know if the behavior persists.

We can worry about installing a kernel after we isolate that which is causing your current issues.

I've posted a lot about this since June. Long story short is this. Chrome (stable channel) doesn't have the red for me anymore. Chrome Dev newest version 47.something on apk mirror dropped last night whilst we slept. It's not doing the red strict mode nonsense either (disclaimer: I'm not on pure at the moment so a second opinion would be good here)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] urrgevo:
A bit of googling turns up a few interesting things regarding said red border in Chrome. (I haven't had this ever) it seems that if strict mode is enabled then this red border will show up when a layer is dropped during screen compositing. That said, many have posted with this issue stating that strict mode is not enabled on their device and it is happening anyway. A few ideas have come up to try and find the cause (Xposed, etc) but nothing solid has turned up, it seems to be an intermittent bug in Chrome. Personally I would switch to AOSP browser or HTC browser as both are faster and don't have this problem.

[MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION], yeah wallet used to have a root check or something like that and needed a workaround at one point to get it set up, this was back when I upgraded from the HTC evo 4g to the evo LTE.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
Yup, that's what [MENTION=2126467]djdarkknight96[/MENTION] is indicating...let us hope another such workaround can be found.

Lifesaver, dude! You are awesome.. personal issues going on and I really seriously don't have time to clean flash or even debug. Constant FCs before.. I generally spend a ton of time debugging on here/helping others debug when possible, but I honestly am totally unable and have been for days, I was about 15 minutes from literally smashing my phone into a million little pieces when I tried this.. It sounded a bit sketchy so I was hoping for a "cleaner" method but I had no time for it so I just tried this and this worked! :good:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] 1Zero3forlife:
Picked this up for $12, hopefully it works good. Clean flashed and backups galore if it does.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] colinmcg71:
Got the 64gb for £20 here, works perfectly with the N6 and Pure /TWRP ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nfremd:
Where did you find it for $12? On Amazon the 32gig is going for $14.31.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 1Zero3forlife:
I bought it off Amazon last week, it was $12 shipped on Prime.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dodendemise:
I got a 128gb for $30! It was on sale on Amazon for a day. If only I could charge while using USB OTG...

Can you charge with a wireless charger while using OTG?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BLuFeNiX:
Does this ROM modify systemUI.apk?

Does anyone know if this ROM modifies systemUI.apk? Before I flashed it, I was on stock, and I was able to use Gravity Box to swap my recents and back navbar buttons. I can't seem to do that now. Everything else I've tried with Xposed works (even changing the navbar icons), but nothing will change the button order. So, I'm wondering if systemUI.apk has been modified in a way that would cause this problem.

Does anyone else have their buttons swapped with this ROM. If so, how?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bweekzzz:
Got the same one. Don't remember how much though. Only thing I found wrong is I have to put a rubber band around it so the ends don't pop out. I keep it on my keyring just so I always have a backup with me. As we know the need to flash can happen anytime. LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BLuFeNiX:
Woah, I didn't even notice the custom settings menu. Thanks for the quick reply!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Anytime that a rom includes ui features that aren't in Stock, they've modified systemui to some extent.

He doesn't have any more. There's a lot of them on eBay. Like someone said in a few post back (and it worked). That is definitely the key. I was very surprised both of them worked I need. Look for ones in original packaging.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sithdroid2187:
Well this sucks! I am going to have to be away from Purenexus for a while. I destroyed the screen on my N6, and had to get a replacement device. Unfortunately they had no N6's and had to send me an S6. I hate it! I will see you all in the N6P when it comes out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ed Murray:

That doesn't sound right. The last time I used a warranty and they didn't have a phone e in stock, they ordered one for me, brand new. Weird.

Ya not like there is a shortage of N6s.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JRJ442:
I know someone who went through Asurion and they claimed they were out of N6's too about a month ago. They sent him a G4. He said he didn't want the G4, so they let him use it until they got more N6's back in stock. Then sent him one. Personally I've always had good experiences with Asurion.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
That makes more sense. When I sent my firstnN 6 in for RMA they told me they didn't repair phones that beingbsaid where.do the phones that you send in go?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JRJ442:
I think typically the phones you send in are sent to be refurbished, if they can be. Then used for other RMA claims.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
Thatsvwhat I thought but for what it's worth the rep told me you always get a new phone back not a refurb I did.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JRJ442:
Every time I've done an RMA, it's been a refurb. I think there's a grace period after purchase when you'll get a brand new device, but after that it's a refurb. Maybe [MENTION=5734003]DaSmokinLoon[/MENTION] can chime in. He works at VZW and might know more about that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
OK that's true with Verizon but I bought mine from Moto.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JRJ442:
Not sure about that then.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Same here, I fell in the river with my N6 on me, tried all the tricks but touch screen went dead, everything else worked. Called ATT up and got a brand new N6

They told me they were on backorder, the site also said they didn't have any in Stock. Received my replacement 2 days later lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dodendemise:
No luck here :( But I got my nexus 7 2013 to charge with USB OTG running. Maybe it's the kernel?

Chroma vs Pure Nexus

Anyone tried both and can give a comparison on speed and battery life? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xe0r:
Hi.

I've tried chroma for the first weeks after I bought the nexus. Pretty stable, pretty fast, pretty nice Dev (zephiK).

After a couple of weeks (we all know that :P ) I got kind a bored and wanted to try something new. First went with benzo, because it has a couple of really nice features. For me this wasn't the way to go. I got a lot of problems like boot loops after setting up THE BUILT IN settings (of course this should not be a blame for the dev, though! If i wanted to stay i would have investigated further but I wanted to leave eitherway). And after all I don't like the fact of redundant features, like multiple build in Pie controls etc. but thats another story.

So after that i've tried pure and thats where I am since the last couple of weeks. I picked the sweets out of benzo and installed em in pure é voila, such a nice rom!

To your asked for comparison: They both are very similar if you ask me, in battery life and performance I didn't see any difference, the nexus was always fluid and battery life was never a problem for me on both roms. chroma is a bit more less weighted, so there are really only the simplest mods included. The dev didn't allow feature requests, so this will not change in the future. On the other hand i really liked the Hellscore kernel which is baked into chroma (or at least is the basis for chroma kernel) so you get nice features like d2tw, vibration intensity... already built in. But you can always flash this to your rom afterwards eitherway.

You have to decide for yourself which custom features you "need" and choose the rom which suits best. If you like really lightweight systems, go for chroma, If you tend to install some mods afterwards (like I did), why not go for the pure right away, cause they are all built in there. Both devs maintain their "babys", new builds all couple of weeks.

The biggest difference is in the dev threads for both roms :D. While on Chroma, there is a QA Thread and for everything which is 0.01% OT you will be spammed to put it in the QA section while here, people are joking around, everything seems to be taken a bit more in stride. Both ways have pros and cons, you know? :P Chroma thread was even closed for some time!

So put the rom which fits best and where you have to manually add or remove the least. For me atm this is pure. But for battery life and performance at least I didn't noticed a difference. You have to optimize your drain on all devices / roms due to bad wakelocks FROM APPS etc. and I always come over a whole day. If I got 4+ h SOT I've got 20..30% left and If I'm at work with <1h SOT / day I return home with ~70% in the evening. Really nothing to complain about. BOTH ARE PRETTY NICE ROMS AND DEVS!!

Long post, sorry for that.

Yeah, I just had my phone stolen last week. Got a refurb n6 on like Monday.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] blankit:
Battery life is horrible these past two updates and I get lock ups on certain apps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fhblake04:
I get around 30 more minutes of screen on time with Pure. Also, Pure just seems a little more quick in day to day use. It's not the Kernel as I've used HC on both, even before Z started using it. Chrome was my DD for the longest, but when I made the switch, I haven't gone back. I've even deleted my Chrome Nandroid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 26.2man:
Which build are you using?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fhblake04:
Using 9/17 build. I haven't ran Chrome in about a month. So maybe I need to give it a try for a more recent opinion.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adrman:
It works for me with Elite kernel and Stickmount. No charging led though. I use an app called Energy Bar that's similar to the battery bar included in rom. The charging animation on the app confirmed the phone was charging. I couldn't unmount the otg from stickmount until I removed the phone from the wireless charger though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kidvr6:
I've only switched over to Pure a week or so ago and I feel that Pure is more stable and has better battery life. Getting > 4hr SOT whereas was ~ 3hrs on Chroma. Pure is probably the most stable ROM I've ever run actually (so far).

FWIW, I am running the 9.17 Pure with lean kernel 3.10.79 May 27 version and I flashed the stock LYZ28K boot image before lean.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sithdroid2187:
The experience wasn't bad at all. Went online to file the claim and about 30 minutes later I get an email with a tracking number. I must have missed the either non-existent or very small fine print that said I would be getting a different device when I filed. The shock of opening up a replacement and it is not what you are expecting sucks. They said they had no Nexus 6 and gave me a comparable phone. Well, sorry a 5" screen is not comparable to a 6" screen. Just because it is dark in color and 64Gb is not comparable to me. I will be taking this up with them today to see if there is anything they can do. Otherwise I am stuck with this pos until I can order a Nexus 6P.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mmessina:
Benzo thread closed. Dev went back to personal development due to the a holes the make his life miserable. I hope those people don't come here???????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 26.2man:
Need opinions. Just got my N6 a week ago. A very nice phone. I'm still stock and not rooted. Been getting about 2.5 to 3.0 hrs sot which I think is fair. I have been looking at all the roms out there and this one seems to lead the pack. I'm just curious if my sot will improve with this rom. I know that's a hard question to answer because of how people use their phone. I'm just a simple user, gmail,this forum, Flipboard,texting ,ect ect. Just looking for some honest feedback.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nixie2121:

Battery is 99% completely user side related.. Best advice.. Make a back up and give it a whirl ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 1Zero3forlife:
I honestly think it is due to Google changing so much crap lately. The last month has been non stop google app updates and changes. No matter what I do, google play services just run crazy on my phone. I have tried suggestions by [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] and others and within a day, it is at the top of the list for battery eaters. I just tried clean flashing the 8/17 build last night with banks gapps(the only gapps I haven't tried lately) and already today it is no different.

I have been running the stock kernel lately, which I never do, I see minimal difference with performance or battery over Hells, despair, elite or ElX. Hells with Mikes settings is the best so far at 6 hours SOT, the others equal stock for me, about 4 hours SOT. I am just going to wait and hope that M fixes most of these issues, especially the screen freezing within the last few days, I am seeing it on my wife's and my N6, not just one, and she is still on 8/28 build.

I am going to try the 9/17 build again tomorrow with the stock kernel and not change one setting, not even a layer and see what happens.

The above comments are just what I am experiencing, others have other luck and experiences.

Have a great day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LGtMgG2t:
If you are having Google app service problems with the battery then I would definitely give this script a go. I've used this on every ROM and it usually allows me about 0.5% idle drain per hour according to BBS. On one of the last few pages you can also find flashable zip files if you prefer that way.

Guys I've asked this before but decided to run latest build before looking into it any further. My issues is no matter what kernel I flash I get stuck in a bootloop. Idk if being encrypted has anything to do with it but I cannot figure out whats the issue? Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 1Zero3forlife:
What are you flashing? Just the ROM, gapps? Any other add-ons? What version of TWRP are you running. Are you clean flashing?

Nevermind I just noticed that you mentioned a wireless charger
[Nexus 6 Android Development] treezy26:
I'm sorry if I was short but I am trying to flash a kernel and it got stuck in a boot loop. Now I am stuck completely. I tried restoring a backup and it failed saying it was unable to mount system. So now its asking for a password in TWRP and I cannot access my storage. I tried the default password but no luck and no I did not have a lock screen pin. I am currently with no OS installed and no access to my storage. Please help. I think its time for a clean slate:(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] urrgevo:
I use that script also and I can safely state that it does make a difference on my setup.

Those having less battery life than before, it isn't the ROM. I'm certain of it. Battery life is very dependant on the end users setup on a properly made ROM and this one definitely is. Try ditching some apps or look for alternatives. If you use any social media apps or reader type apps (rss feeds) try freezing them and just use a browser and bookmarks and see if that helps . I know this isn't as convenient, but convenience costs battery plain and simple. In the end it is your device to use as you see fit and the balance of apps and battery life that suits your needs. Just my 2 cents
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
It is difficult but I give it a try in a generic way.

Google UI design and the firmware are not using the full possibilities of the hardware of the N6.

Flashing a custom ROM will always give you a better performance and battery life.

The amoled display has 2560 x 1440 pixels and the native resolution is 493 dpi. Google set the DPI to 560, and that's why your icons are looking so big. And the background of apps is white. That is unpleasant when reading text.

The rom in this thread makes it possible to customize your N6 and to use layers (theming)

There are other choices but this ROM is a good start. The support is friendly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sparky4017:
What I found on the battery draw is Google App 45.20mb went to apps then all apps and disabled it problem went away I haven't figured out how to delete it :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 1Zero3forlife:
If you have access to a OTG, you can load up that way but the password through twrp is not my cup of tea.

Sounds like you need to start over with the tool kit.
