Wiping caches on a dirty flash is not only unnecessary, it's kind of silly. It defeats the purpose of having a cache in the first place. Wiping them just means that everything that uses the cache will have to work a little but harder the first time it runs.

As for separate kernel flashing, I know I'm going against popular opinion here, but I always flash the kernel together with the rom. Caveat on that: I nearly always have been running the latest kernel (Elementalx) on the previous PN so I know it's good.

I think you were just really unlucky, or perhaps you had some pre-existing theme related issues that the flash uncovered. I flashed with my themes enabled without any problems.

Thanks for the tip about substratumrescue though. I'll remember that in case anything goes belly up in the future. :)

One last point, which I think others have mentioned... Going dirty means not having to reflash gapps. :)

It is att's problem. Not enabled by them, nothing to do with the ROM. They only support wifi calling on iPhone.

Which is why I said it's disabled... Forget it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liquidzoo:
I just recently flashed this for the first time, and it's going to be the reason that I'm activating my Nexus 6 on Verizon to take the place of my LG G5 this afternoon. Excellent job, very well done.

That said, I do have one question that I haven't been able to find the answer to: Is there a way to go back to the non-Pixel icons? The spheres are nice, but they seem to not be on every icon (unless that was something I did), and I prefer the older icons for some apps.

Does any one have any idea how to disable doze for apps in which battery optimization is not available? I am trying to disable doze for Download Manager because whenever the screen turns off the file stop downloading. Any app or any method to disable doze on battery optimization not available apps?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
I think you would have to compile the ROM from source yourself... And turn off doze...

However... I think you have it backwards... The download manager should be doze exempt out of the box...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Yasharkhan:
It's not in this rom I guess cos download manager shows battery optimization not available
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
Haha, same for me. Since I now have the OP3T, I have relinquished the Shamu to Mrs Woody. Believe me, if there were SystemUI crashes, I'd never here the end of it.

Only thing I do different than you is that I don't format /system. I want to say that while watching the log as TWRP rolls the install, it does that on it's own. I'm pretty sure that script is built in. This is why I have re-flash my ThemeReady Gapps (since they are on /system) but not my regular Gapps (since most are on /data).

Me too. And to go an ever further step, I flash ROM, Kernel and THEN Root [in that order] since both Magisk and SuperSU patch the last kernel that is installed before root is installed. This, like what I said above, can also be seen in the TWRP log as the install progresses.

Battery optimisation = Doze

Battery optimisation not available = No doze

Like [MENTION=3290808]rignfool[/MENTION] said, Download manager is exempt from doze out of the box. The "not available" part means that you can't activate doze for it, at all.

Didn't even know about Netflix not in play store if you have root. It's always been in my drawer. Thank goodness for APKMirror! Thanks for making me aware
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liquidzoo:
I did that (I always use Nova, and have for years)...apps like Textra and Tapped Out are still spheres (neither are on my G5).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LaGgY_42o:
Sorry ahead of time if its already been brought up, a lot of post here and couldn't find anything about it being removed in the change logs. I came from the last 6.0.1 build to the 4/23 7.1.2.r6 build so I don't quite know in which 7.x.x build it was removed. I am referring to the ability to select Wi-Fi frequencies in the Advanced Wi-Fi settings menu. Before you had the option or both 2.4Ghz + 5Ghz, or just one or the other. Where I spend most of my time in my house I am on the limit of the 5Ghz signal yet receive excellent 2.4Ghz yet it will auto pick the 5Ghz a majority of the time. If the setting moved I was unable to find it located anywhere. Thanks!

***delete, error posting***
[Nexus 6 Android Development] genti.b:
If you are using Chrome or any browser to download then I would say that that is the problem. When ever goes in dose mode the browser goes to sleep therefore it stops downloads. Remove browser from the battery optimization then see if this issue recurs again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayadev01:
Any flashing instructions? do we need to wipe cache or anything or we can directly flash it? Thank You.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CA3iR0:

I actually did find a work around against it, and now I can optimize download manager and even Google play services to disable doze
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Didgeridoohan:
I think we're running rings around each other...

If you optimize an app, you enable doze for that app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
If you optimize download manager... It will stop downloads at screen off... No matter what is downloading

If you enable doze for Google play services... You will get MASSIVE battery drain... Every screen off... You will disconnect from Google cloud messaging... You will run a sync at screen on... You will poll the playstore for updates... etc etc...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Yasharkhan:
No actually I wanted to disable doze and I was able to disable it for system apps like Google play services and I don't care about about drain, there were specific apps in battery optimization for which doze wasn't available and whenever I turned off the screen my downloads stopped as soon as phone went into doze mode, ever since I turned it off, it doesn't do that anymore

Ok, one other thing I noticed (and my Google-Fu is failing me on this one)...when my wife called me this morning her caller ID picture had a blue tinted overlay. Does this happen for everyone? Is there something I can do to remove it? I've noticed the same in the clock app too, but it doesn't bother me there.

Hello everyone

I'm on 7.0-20161010-OFFICIAL build. Can I dirty flash to the latest 7.1.2_r8 build?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cujo6801:
No sir ...

Plus make sure you have the updated bootloader as well before you do a clean Flash

[Nexus 6 Android Development] SirTimmyTimbit:
Aw bummer. It's a hassle to backup and restore everything when doing a clean flash. I guess 7.0 will have to do until an 8 release!

Has anyone​ else lost the camera app after flashing .I tried restoring from titanium bu but won't work.cant find on playstore.thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayadev01:
Did you flash the mini Beans gapps? There's no camera included in that. Flash the Full Beans gapps and you will get it. Or else just download it from the playstore from your "My Library" section if you had installed google camera anytime before.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CA3iR0:
Clean cache/dalvik on recovery.

And don't use TitaniumBackup for restoring apps, let the PlayStore backup do it alone.

thanks. the select usb configuration in developer settings doesnt change from charging.i have tried wiping cache and rebooting phone but no change.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Try cleaning the usb connector. Lint and stuff might be interfering.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RandomPooka:
Pocket lint buildup helped destroy my USB connector! Now, it will only wirelessly charge. If I want to use fastboot, I need to arrange everything just so, balancing the cord and phone on something, and hope like hell that a fly doesn't come by and sneeze on my cable halfway through the flashing process.

And, of course, you can't disassemble and replace JUST the micro-USB connector unless you are rather skilled with soldering tiny circuit boards. It's not a modular plug in part.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matmo10:
What superSU and magisk zips did you use? And at what point did you flash Magisk?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liquidzoo:
I've seen the same issue (Netflix not showing up) a couple of times. I flashed the ROM, then flashed Magisk v12 when I upgraded to _r8. Originally I had flashed ROM > GApps > SuperSU, but that didn't work, so when the update came out I dirty flashed ROM > Magisk then turned on Magisk hide. Everything works just fine. Android Pay and Netflix installed and run perfectly well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matmo10:
So heres what I did:

- Wiped system/data/cache/dalvik for a clean flash

- Flashed Pure Nexus (r8), latest full gapps, magiskv12 all at once, in that order. Then rebooted

- Updated Magisk manager to latest. Checked the safteynet status and it failed with 'CTS profile mismatch'. Couldn't use Android pay

Did I hypothetically do things correctly or am I missing something?

EDIT: Oh, all I had to do was enable Magisk hide. Woops :D

To anyone other noobs who want to be rooted but also want to use Android Pay, just follow my steps above, and then enable Magisk Hide :) Last time I tried to get android pay working while rooted a few months ago it seemed like it wasn't possible, but it was super simple using Magiskv12.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pcrussell50:
I didn't use super SU at all, (other than the variant of it that is embedded in Magisk). So I clean flashed PN and Gapps as per the instructions. Then started and went through the setup process as usual. Used it unrooted for a couple of hours, then downloaded Magisk under "root links", from here and flashed it. That did the root (so I didn't use SuperSU), and installed the Magisk Manager app. Then in the Magisk Manager app, I turned on "root hiding" or whatever they call it, and everything based on SafetyNet now worked: Netflix shows up in app store, Android Pay works, etc...

Is there any way to change the night light color temp?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gysper:
What's there is there, this is a built-in to Nougat so it's pretty much the same in every single ROM.

Doing some research, you will need to download an alternative app to get more options:

xenonHD has a slider for it. I just hate my battery drain on it. Im not seeing the app you're talking about though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Not that I'm aware of. Twilight lets you do that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gysper:
FYI, Magisk has built-in SuperSU and their version of it is called MagiskSU. To use it, you have to flash the zip in TWRP, then go to the playstore and download the Magisk Manager. Then you open up the app the enabled Magisk Hide.

There is a dedicated thread that deals will everything about it: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Note: If you get SafetyNet failed, you have to enabled Magisk hide and disable busybox, reboot phone.

1st time asking questions.

I have serached The thread there are Post about similar issues. But nothing specifically mentioning what I'm seeing.

After flashing the latest Rom. Clean install.wiped everything I also selected INTERNAL MEMORY. I think this is where I made the mistake. That and not making a back up( I know dumb) that's on me.

After booting up Rom I try to launch camara. I get a message saying I should "insert SD card no storage found". States change sortage option on setting.

When I try this I do get The option to change storage but no storage is found then It's it asks me to insert SD card.

I have tried cleaning flashing about 4 times now and every time there is a no storage issue.

Everything in Rom work I just can't DL anything because there is nothing storage found. Any help is appreciated.thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I'm running SuperSU along with Busybox on the latest PN

How would I go about switching over to Magisk ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
Reflash PN and then install magisk
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Are you saying I need to do another clean install or I can dirt Flash it ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Dirty flash should be fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
-Flash UnSU.zip for full wipe of root.

Dirty flash the ROM

[Optional] Flash different kernel

Flash Magisk v12.0

Go to play store and install Magisk Manager (or update if you already have it installed)

[Optional] Open Magisk Manager and hit Settings. Tick on Magisk-Hide and Android Pay/PoGo should be good to go after that if that's your bag.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:

Could you please point me to where I could grab UnSU.zip ?

I think you should do a complete factory reset from a PC via adb. Do you know what I mean?

1. Enable adb in developer option

2. Download the last factory image for N6 Shamu.

3. Follow the instructions from the Google side.

(Userdata will be flashed so you should get storage 0 again)

I think this guy would be far better off, due to his experience level, to use a toolkit in order to get back to factory condition... If ya want, Download Wugfresh Nexus root toolkit on your PC and follow instructions.

Radio Issues

Anybody else getting poor cell reception after this upgrade? I have little or no reception where I used to have it. Should I flash a new radio to resolve this issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] deadcatsrule:
Cell Reception has nothing to do with the ROM because flashing the ROM does not touch the radio or the bootloader
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Yasharkhan:
Ok so guys I've a serious problem, I'm running the latest PN 7.1.2 with latest Elemental Ex Kernel, my issue is that while charging 3 of my cores shut down and my phone literally becomes useless (too slow to use) I've been facing this issue on all PN versions but now it has became a real problem, it gets better when the battery is over 80% while charging, any solutions would be greatly welcomed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gysper:
Try a different charger to see if something is the bottleneck. I prefer wireless charging because it's slower, less strain on the battery and generates less heat if charged slower.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] _MuLder_:
That's what I thought, but after flashing the rom/gapps/vendor image, I now get poor reception. That's all I changed between it working fine and working poorly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
It really shouldn't matter, but the easiest way to exclude it is to try a different radio. This link ( Nexus 6 Recovery Flashable Radios (Unlocked Bootloader Only)) is an easy way to switch radios. Flashable either through TWRP or Flash Fire.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] pie_are_squared:
Did a clean flash and my front camera doesnt seem to be working. Can anyone guess whats going on here?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
That's really vague. How did you install the camera app - beans full gapps, play store, a backup? Does it crash? Have you pulled a log? Do you have theme(s) installed?

The basic answer is to clear data and cache for the camera app. Double check permissions for the camera app. Remove any theme. If those don't work, getting a log is the quickest way to see what's up.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pie_are_squared:
I think it came along with the beans full gapps, however its not an issue with the camera app, its an issue with the camera. The front facing camera wont work on any app (camera, whatsapp, skype, instagram, etc.), the option for front facing camera just doesnt show up. Its as though my phone isnt aware that I have a front facing camera.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
I don't believe this is a PN ROM issue. You could try booting to safe mode to see if it comes back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pie_are_squared:
I guess I can try that. But it was working before the clean flash. Did the drivers change or something?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
This thread would be full of complaints if it was ROM (driver) issue. Since it's not, and the front camera works fine for me, it's something about your set-up. It could be a wonky flash, a conflicting app or some other gremlin.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pie_are_squared:
That worked!!!

Thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Face_Plant:
The phone disables cores/throttles the CPU to prevent your phone from overheating. Disabling thermal protection is not a good idea. If the battery gets too hot it can explode.

Why not just wait for your phone to finish charging, then use it? Or use a charger other than the Turbo Charger that doesn't generate as much heat?
