PN is the tits

I just wanted to hop on here and post and say that I NEVER post but I have been running Pure Nexus for awhile now, and I am always on XDA and trying new roms for my Nexus 6, which I have had since it was released and has been an absolutely great phone. Okay, I guess that was a preface, what I wanted to say was that I really appreciate all the hard work that Beans has done for this rom. It really has and will continue to be a great daily driver for me. I noticed he updated the Changelog! I honestly have been waiting for this next release before doing a full wipe - yes I have had the speakerphone problem confirmed by many people before I knew what was going on, and yes I saw the flash fixes for it....But, I saw March's update fixed this issue so I am eagerly awaiting your next release Beans. I'd be willing to bet there are a lot of people out there that don't really dive into forums, like myself for instance, but who do greatly appreciate your time and your hard work. Kudos to you, my friend.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scap99:
I saw the changelog update and may have peed a little.

I've been wanting to bin the phone since the BT debacle began, but now I've got hope.

Thank you [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] for this excellent ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ProRules:
Hello! im realy happy with the rom, iv'e been using it for years, and tried many roms, (almost every rom) and i always come back to PureNexus, used to roll Chroma quiet a lot but looks like PureNexus is the real survivor.

Just this one thing, im getting random reboots quiet often lately, running just PureNexus, ElementalX kernel with Wake Gestures 1.4 (no frameworks whatsoever).

I can't tell exactly when or why they happen, sometimes i could be half a day without a single reboot, and sometimes it just loops a couple of reboots one after another. (Operation System loads and after a few sec reboots again).

Please if anyone could help that would be amazing.

And Thanks for your amazing rom, i know its a bit behind in the update, but who cares, take your time, make it right, no rush. i see PureNexus as Projekt RED who made withcher 3, and is working on cyberpunk 2077.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
Might be a bad download. Devs can't help you since you are using a custom kernel. Are you on TWRP 3.1? Are you on the 7.1.1 radios and bootloader? Im not elemental x so I can vouch for it's reliability with PN but I know that if you are on a kernel with the march security update and PN Rom still on the February blobs you will have problems. Until PN is updated with the March branch current custom kernels will give you a headache

premature peeing huh? Sounds like a personal problem
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
Did my own personal build this morning, and the biggest surprise is they have added Magisk in the ROM control in the settings menu. So if you install magisk you will see the magisk icon in the settings menu.

Rootless substratum is working out great. AP is working with Magisk and safetynet is passing. Getting a good battery life so far around 5 hours of SOT. No random reboots. Did a LogMAT as well, the errors are pretty much reduced and generating very occasionally and less.

Overall performance is 9/10 and for now i think there is no need of a custom kernel. If any one of you is using Belo theme for Substratum and have magisk installed you will be pleasantly surprised to see it in settings menu and how awesome all looks.

Kudos and excellent work guys [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] and Nathan.

One request though if you can add Kernel Auditor-Mod in the settings menu under ROM control, that would be freaking awesome.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Resynced and started a new build (the magisk manager commit wasn't in when I built before). It will be waiting for me to play with when I wake up

---------- Post added at 06:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 AM ----------

Correction: 37 minute build time has got me copying it to my phone tonight. Recently upgraded my cpu and motherboard, and ccache from my first build on it must have helped. That first build was nearly 80 minutes.

I won't be flashing until the morning, though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ProBird79:
Perhaps you are talking about the feedback with speakerphone on? I'm definitely getting that. It's fixed with the March update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Must be user error on my end. I'm still not able to get Substratum to work properly, even on last night's build. It's telling me that I'm on an RRO2 ROM, requiring root and reboot to apply theme elements. Did you have to do anything special to make it work?

Should I be pulling in commits from the Substratum git to fix this, or am I just doing it wrong once I've built and flashed?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
What is the size of your build? Secondly what branch did you synced? Once you answer me these questions i might be able to help you out.

No there is no need to pull any Substratum commits, all that is need to already there, otherwise you will screw something up. Also did you change anything on your local repo?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
I'll reboot to Ubuntu real quick to double check, but I SHOULD be using the branch "n-mr1" pulled from github.com/PureNexusProject/

File size of the completed build was some 663mb !! That's about 200mb larger than the 02/15/2017 build is

I made zero changes to the source, and synced to a new empty directory when I initialized the repo.

Will report back when I check my local manifest and make sure that I'm on that n-mr1 branch (It would be REALLY nice to be able to browse ext4 filesystems from Windows10)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
Your build size is small, i think your sync is not working well. My build size is almost 737 MB. Do this when sync "repo sync -j8 -c --no-clone-bundle --force-sync" without the quotes and let me know if it worked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
From my default manifest in the .repo/manifests path --> <project path="build" name="android_build" groups="pdk,tradefed" remote="pure" revision="n-mr1">

I'll give it another sync. --force-sync is going to force a redownload of everything, isn't it? I'll talk to you in a few hours if that's the case LOL. My net speed is not spectacular
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
if you want i can upload my build so you can check it out, in the mean while, a Clean flash will be needed.

No the --force-sync will not redownload everything. It will only download the things that were missed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] demlv:
Not sure if it will do everything you want, but you can check out "diskinternals linux reader".
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
I appreciate the offer. Not necessary, and I'm not sure if it's allowed anyway. I'm re-syncing now and will throw another build together. I'm genuinely curious about why it would have produced such vastly different sized builds for each of us.

[MENTION=1215436]demlv[/MENTION] Thanks for the heads up. It looks like that would do what I needed. Not a problem at the moment, since I just rebooted to linux. Figure if I'm going to have to resync and build again, I will have to do it from the right OS :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
You probably missed something in vendor...

And it's huge because of the hybrid gapps philosophy
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
Sure thing, try the force sync method. I always to sync only that way. Unofficial build can be shared without any issues. There is no problem in sharing them. They are only not allowed if the developer has not released a major version like 7.1.1 is already released so now anyone can build unofficial builds, the only thing is i dont post it anywhere.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] skidaway:
Sounds like ThemeInterfacer (used to be masquerade) isn't being built or included. Check that android_vendor_pure/configs/pure_main.mk has ThemeInterfacer listed under PRODUCT_PACKAGES.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Dumb question. the /vendor/pure should sync with the rest and shamu doesn't use a vendor partition, right? I remember when I used to have to add TheMuppets repo to my local repo for the G3, but I was assuming that nothing else needed added to local repos. It's definitely not referenced in the manifest README

Was under the impression that you could build all you wanted, and even hand it out to friends, but there was a no posting your builds etiquette because sometimes a thing that was WiP might have been not quite completed in the source, and then the dev would get a billion bug reports and demands to fix **** that they didn't even release yet BECAUSE of the known bugs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
Yeah that is true as well, but then there is a reason they are called unofficial builds. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Just checked. It is right now. I don't know if it was before, during last night's build

There's always idiots out there who ruin it for the rest.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phillbert!:
I'm having an issue ever since I updated a few weeks ago. My signal bars randomly get an 'x' on them and I can't access the Internet. I figured it was Cricket's fault, but it started happening when on WiFi too, and if I turn WiFi off, it'll be on the signal bars. The only way to fix it is to reboot my phone. Sometimes it happens a few times a day, others, not for almost a week. Sometimes it happens when I'm using the device, others when I pick it up after a period of no use.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
New build completed. File size is the same, within 5 mb (670mb or so). Source synced from the proper location with the proper branch. Haven't installed it yet. Not at all sure how or why I'm getting such a different sized build than [MENTION=725444]atharwaqas[/MENTION] with the same source. Perplexing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
Do you have updated Radio and Modem?

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

One way to do is delete and re sync the repo and build again. Lengthy process but might be worth it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
I only just created it 2 days ago! I may do it overnight, but not right now. Bet the official build will be released before I even get an unofficial one (that works as it should) compiled !! :D

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

I've only seen that before on WiFi when you're connected to the access point, but don't have internet access yet, whether it's because you need to log in to the network or just because someone (usually me) forgot to power the cable modem back on, but the router is a-OK.

Perhaps the cellular tower you're connecting to doesn't play nice with your carrier, or your roaming settings aren't letting you use non-carrier towers for data. Really just a shot in the dark with that, though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phillbert!:
Well, it happens with wifi and cellular. I'm not sure what the issue is though. I've been having all kinds of weird problems that no one else seems to be ever since I updated. I even wiped the whole phone and am still having the issues.

Recent Nexus 6 downgrade to Android 7.0

Hello Guys,

I am a Pure Nexus user since a last six months. I recently wanted to upgrade to Android 7 and thus waited for Pure Nexus to release a N6 - Android 7 build.

Major thanks to developers for rolling out this update. Really appreciate the work. But the recent update from Google that wants the Nexus 6 users with Stock OS who had already upgraded to Android 7.1.1, to downgrade to Android 7.0. After the news being verified by an official Google Nexus Manager on reddit and no clear info on what the 7.1 update broke, I am paranoid on installing the Pure Nexus 7.1.1. No disrespect for the devs, its just that I cannot afford my device being bricked as I am a student and cannot afford another Nexus(Pixel :( ) at the moment. Hence if anyone here in the community can shed some light on what the update broke and is it still safe to install the Pure Nexus 7.1.1 build, will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nixie2121:
i dont know what the issue is, but I can tell you everything is working perfectly for me on the latest version. just follow the instructions and you will be fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
It's incredibly hard to brick this phone without actively trying to

Practice safe flashing and make backups
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Are you using any firewall app?

I would get that if I blocked certain services.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phillbert!:
No firewalls or VPNs or anything. Good thinking though! I wouldn't have considered that if I had been.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NootNootNexus:
Thanks ! That is reassuring. Also the fact mentioned by RandomPooka also reduces my paranoia regarding the phone getting bricked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BeansTown106:
again guys sorry for my absence in the threads as of late i have had alot going on luckily things are starting to settle down so i should be around more and builds should be more frequent.

New build this build is a major cleanup of code, plus the addition of rootless substratum support, also to gaurantee the best stability the gapps package was baked into the rom flash like i have been doing on the pixels. more info in change log note.

Lets get to the goodies!!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
FAQ and installation guide are updated for the fact that GApps are now included. Dirty flashing process has not changed for the future but for this build, I would recommend either clean flashing or at least wipe system in addition to the caches to make sure everything gets cleaned out. Clean flash before reporting any issues, they will be ignored otherwise.

Substratum will also work in rootless mode with this update so there should be no issues with it going forward. Please take them to the dedicated Substratum thread or Google+ community if you do have any problems.

Enjoy!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I'm not the most techiest guy when you say now has built in rootless support does that affect the need to install SuperSU-v2.78 do you still need it ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simple man:
No root access is required to use Substratum now. So you only need to flash SuperSU if you prefer root access for other purposes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imarq24:
Flashing now ????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] peteus:
Just delete this
[Nexus 6 Android Development] moso11:

Only if the Substratum theme you prefer requires TBO Gapps in the description. Otherwise, no need.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Is it no longer forbidden to include the gapps in the build? I remember that being a fuss way back when CM7 was fairly popular.

I'm guessing my rootless build attempts may haveflopped because I was also flashing the gapps from 2/15 with the new build

Hi Team,

Please help me with unrooting my nexus. I m currently running PN Feb Build with root access and just want to unroot the devices and go for the Mar Build.

I am planning for a Dirty Flash coz i dont want to loose my apps and data. Plus being unroot will help me use my official mails in this device.

Thanks,

Subrat
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Simply flashing the March ROM without flashing any root will do what you want.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Well, this is from a dirty flash, but it's exactly what I was seeing when I had built and flashed the ROM as well as the 2/15 gapps.

I'll clean flash in the morning to see if it helps. But, in the settings menu of substratum, it's showing RRO2 layers as the theme engine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sdash01:
Thanks. I will do that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ahmed007:
Where is the gapps ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
They're included in the zip, did you read the release post?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ahmed007:
Let me read just woke up
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BeansTown106:
yes, based on the theme you are using if its a dark one 95% of the time yes

its a grey area i guess, but i have been doing it on the pixels since they were released and it allows me to make sure the experience is stable/the same for everyone.

my gues son it being in the grey area was because cm was doing it for hundreds of devices, some that have never even been certified from google(amazon etc) where as im doing it for 5 devices which have all been certified by google.. my guess

ya that was pretty funny lol

make sure to wipe data on substratum, and remove substratum from superuser grants if dirty flashing and then it will go into rootless mode
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
From my recollection of the brouhaha over GApps, if the device comes with the apps preinstalled then it's acceptable to provide the apps in the ROM. Where CyanogenMod went wrong was in offering a ROM with GApps included for devices that never had Google apps preinstalled.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] djcsurf:
Thanks for update beans, clean install, all very nice.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I installed without SuperSU this time and i just released I lost root did I need to flash SuperSU to keep rooted ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
What do you think SuperSU does......?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
Encrypted.

But I did format the whole internal storage (via Recovery)... lol.

No problems on latest Pure with (I think) latest Elite.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buffal0b1ll:
Data partition is encrypted until you:

1) flash a kernel that does not force encryption (like the stock kernel in this ROM for instance)

2) use TWRP to format entire data partition. Use the FORMAT DATA button (not the Advanced wipe data and internal storage). This will erase every thing on data (all your user apps and all your internal storage -photos files etc).

3) Reboot system - when the device boots the kernel will not force encryption so the data partition will remain decrypted because the kernel won't force encryption on boot.

So when you flashed internal storage you either ticked internal storage in the Advanced wipe (this is not the same as FORMAT DATA button). or you used the FORMAT DATA button but when you rebooted the kernel at that time didn't allow decryption so it forced encryption and re-encrypted the data partition. Make sense?

Before you decrypt you have to make backups of everything you care about on the data partition. You can use nandroid or TiBU for apps and app data and MTP to move those backups and important internal storage files to a pc while you format. After formatting you'll have to move stuff back/restore apps & data and internal storage. I'm sure there's good tutorials out there if you search for them.

In the end, the performance gain you get is not really noticeable. And there is risk you take on when you have a decrypted data partition. Let's say you switch to a different ROM that has a kernel that forces encryption later and you forget to check or don't notice that it will force encryption. When you boot with that kernel, your data partition will be formatted and encrypted and you lose all your data on internal sdcard.

If you stay encrypted, any kernel will be fine for use and you'll never fall in that trap.

Yup, this. Except, I didnt use twrp. After flashing the no force encrypt kernel, I just booted to bootloader and issued "fastboot erase userdata"

[Nexus 6 Android Development] symple84:
LOL everyone on here is a comedian......

Maybe I posted too quickly without further explaining. I installed this ROM on a brand new phone so no previous versions of any ROM. I am using Franco kernel with it. Yesterday, when I left the office and went for lunch, I put my phone away in my front pocket and when I went to use it - I was loading all of the Google Apps again. It rebooted and worked fine. Today, again I put my phone in my pocket and when I went to use it, it was on the boot imagine.

So..... the phone only does this reboot when its placed in my pocket - or at least it seems that way. I already had the ambient light turned off and the adaptive brightness is off as well......

Any ideas?

What kernel do you use ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Grab a kernel log after you get this reboot and post it here and someone who knows how to read them can tell you exactly what's causing the issue. It's the only way to know what's going on. I have Franco's app can't recall whether or not there an option on it to grab a log as I'm not using it now but if there is use that or Google how to get a kernel log on Android and follow directions.. Hope that helps. I use Lean kernel and never had this issue..
