Question about AppOps; is it cool to go through and disable location and keep awake for apps such as NBA, Instagram, Trivia Crack, and the like? Trying my best to save battery life but it seems using AppOps just increases the battery life of Phone Idle.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Virus1x:
Anyone noticed an issue where the home and recent buttons do not work?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
You have a custom kernel installed (uber r4) remove that and replace with the stock kernel by dirty flashing or passing boot.img from the zip file in TWRP and then try using the buttons again.

Edit: if you flash via boot.img in TWRP you'll need to re-root. If you dirty flash you do not.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
I checked the first link... It's all good.

Second link... Google Contacts (Dashboard... I knew that menu). Yeah, in there I see a bunch of contacts that I had actually deleted on my phone a while ago... but they still show up on the Dashboard! :eek: :eek: :eek:

You might want to explain what you mean by "awful camera performance" as well as the "atrocious" picture quality with HDR+ on, because I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

I've seen no improvement in camera performance, but I believe the performance to be quite good. Pictures on HDR+ are also quite good, and actually better than without it. Thus I keep HDR+ on all the time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x111:
I would say Nexus phones have in general awful camera performance, no matter what software you are using since it's a hardware issue !

Google !!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mastamoon:
The pictures it does take are fine.. The issue is you can't take more than 1 or 2 of them at a time if hdr+ processing is happening. That's the atrocious part.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x111:
Would be awesome to get a mod / option to disable sound in google standard Camera in HDR+ mode.

Is there anotherbfix for the proximity sensor? Ibalways flash the same old one that I have been flashing for over a year now. This time his ever it didn't work first two times thirdbtime was a charm though all is well. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Given how HDR+ works not being able to take more than a couple photos at once really isn't an issue. It's also not a surprise that the new app doesn't improve anything, since this is a hardware (CPU) limitation. I also wouldn't be surprised if the 6P also encounters this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x111:
it does NOT work !

It turns off the camera sound but not on HDR+ mode.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
Go to System, Media, Audio, ui. Then change the file type, move the files, or delete. Back them up if you want beforehand.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x111:
ok, sounds good, now would you so kind to tell us what exactly the files we need to get rid of in order to turn off the camera shot sounds completely ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aoaleman:
I would start with anything that has "camera" in it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x111:
did you try to do any manipulation with files and get a result ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] One1Two2:
HDR+ has its own sound that isn't in the settings. What's really strange is that I don't recall it making the sound in other builds. I guess if someone is on an earlier build they could confirm.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KootchieKoo:
Which apps are in Gapps??

I was using Pure Nexus 5.1.1 on my Nexus 6 with no issues. Sunday I updated TWRP to the latest 3.0.2-0, then did a clean install of Pure Nexus 6.0.1 2016-04-07 by flashing that zip, then the corresponding Gapps zip (PureNexus_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_4-7-16.zip).

I then installed several apps I use from the Play Store, then noticed that Gmail was not installed. Isn't Gmail included in Gapps? I've done a little searching, but can't find a list of apps that are (typically) included in a Gapps package.

I've read here that this 4-7-2016 Gapps sometimes doesn't install correctly using older versions of TWRP, but I used the latest 3.0.2-0 and should be OK. At this point I have Calculator, Calendar, Camera, Chrome, Clock, Contacts, Hangouts, Messenger, Phone, Photos, and Play Store -- are all the apps included in the 4-7-2016 Gapps installed and I'm good? If not, to get all of them installed, can I flash the same Gapps (or maybe the previous 3-15-2016) at this point? Or do I need to wipe everything out, then flash the ROM then the 4-7-2016 Gapps, making sure that all the apps are installed before proceeding further? -OR- can I just install the ones I need now, like Gmail, using the Play Store?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, Gmail is not included. You should be able to install it from the Play Store. The list of GApps can be found in the PN GApps repo, specifically this commit. If you ever appear to be missing a Google application, just go download it from the Play Store.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xmsnx:
Someone posted a solution on the Nexus 5 forums.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
Come on... It can't be a hardware limitation. The 6P can record slow motion video, while the 6P can't. But hear this : I've had the Galaxy S4 (Snapdragon 600, much slower hardware than the Nexus 6) and it COULD record slow motion video. Also, the LG G2 (Snapdragon 800 < 805) can even record fast motion (60 fps).

Google messed up. Or they did it intentionally.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Comparing slow motion to HDR+ is like comparing an apple to an orange.

HDR+ is not software HDR like on the Galaxy S4 and as a result is going to be slower than the near-instant results the S4 gives. It works by taking a burst of ten shots in a second and combing the data to get the best result. It's simply not possible to take multiple shots with HDR+ on. Any camera app that processes multiple images at one time to create an HDR image, like Camera Zoom FX Premium, will have this limitation.

What camera app is used in this ROM? Other MM Roms use different camera apps, but I like this one
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
The one included in the ROM is Google Camera. You can also install any other camera you may want to use as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
the n6 can not record slow no natively, but there are several apps that let the n6 record slow motion vids. not the best quality, but slo mo nevertheless.

Is there any settings I can change to get the My Verizon App to recognize my Verizon line so I don't have to log in every time?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] x111:
It most likely doesn't work and after a few restarts of the sound came back :(((

But anyway would be nice to have an option, a button to switch on/off the sound of the camera.

What is cmte?

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

Sorry for that question if it's dumb but I am trying to update but don't know which one to get. Cmte or the other one
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
CyanogenMode Theme Engine

My advice: choose CMTE instead of Layers ... IT'S BETTER!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nerdslogic:
Oh.... Hmm.... Does that affect layers? Really don't want to brick my phone flashing something wrong
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
It doesn't affect at all ... just because they are simply different - they cannot be installed together!

In CMTE the only difference is that you cannot theme by app, but all the apps will be themed the same!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nerdslogic:
One more dumb question. Am I safe to assume the cmte version would show in the build or version in my previous screenshot if I was running it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
It won't be shown in the build version - nor the layers is
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nerdslogic:
OK. But I won't brick by flashing cmte version over non cmte version will I? I don't think I am on cmte right now but don't really know how to tell. Ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Do you see Themes in Settings?

A STRONG ADVICE: IF YOU WANT TO BE SAFE - ALWAYS FLASH CLEAN A ROM - DOESN'T MATTER WHICH ONE!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nerdslogic:
No. Layers manager but no themes

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

Can you tell I petrified of bricking?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
So you are on LAYERS version. Please follow the above advice and clean flash EVERY ROM - EVER!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nerdslogic:
Thank you again. I know clean flashes are the way to go. I just hate the backup restore aspect
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Yeah, I know the feeling, but it's better be safe than sorry :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dodendemise:
On stock roms it will recognize it and you don't have to log in. I tho with might be something in build.prop or something.

besides nexus devices, i counsider the g1(dream) to be a prenexus, as google also sold it as a developer device. it wasnt a nexus for sure, but it did give google the idea for a nexus. ahh, the good ole days.. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
You might want to ask someone on the Verizon forums. This ROM is primarily built for T-Mobile and Project Fi.

The Dream and Magic could both be considered Pre-Nexus devices. They had similar hardware. I started off with the Magic on Donut. Good times.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] solo14:
It seems something changes in the different builds of the ROM. I have this as well every few builds. What I mean is it worked on the last build but not this one and before that there are builds that it doesn't work. Its not just the Verizon app but even when I log into my bank account it doesn't remember my device and I have to verify my account each time I log in. I've kind of just lived with it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nerdslogic:
I did. I used to shoot for speed and options, I still kind of do, but after something like 600 flashes I now seek stability. How can I check the flash counter on a nexus 6?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
there isnt one to check, i do believe(can be wrong though)..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
There's no flash counter. Only Samsung would do something like that, and then make it even worse by changing it to the Knox flag.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] oldman_58:

"Disclaimer:

which is a shame because this is a great ROM. Thanks google.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
I meant to say that the 6P can, while the N6 can't.

You were talking about processor limitations and such...

Slow motion video recording is related to the performance of the processor, as well. This device should be able to do that. Just as well as it should be able to process HDR+ much faster. Just saying.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Slow motion is not processor intensive at all. In slow motion the hardware is directed by the software to take additional frames per second. The more frames per second, the slower the motion. In the case of this device Google did not offer it despite the hardware and software being capable of it.

With software only HDR the software applies a filter to emulate HDR. It's processor intensive since it's done all in software, but very quick since since the software directs the hardware to take one image. In exposure bracketing HDR the software has the hardware take under- and overexposed images as well as the base image. The software then has to align these images and merge them into a single image.

HDR+ is just as processor intensive as exposure bracketing. The difference between HDR+ and exposure bracketing is that HDR+ brackets by film speed rather than exposure time. What the software then does is pick the best image of the set and, for each pixel, averages the color and applies the averaged color to the pixel. The end result is a HDR image.

This is not "Google screwing up". It is deliberate, but this really is an issue of unrealistic expectations brought about by not knowing how the camera works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
So... Slow motion should have been a thing, but Google decided not to do it. They went a bit Apple on this one - remember the iPhone 3G? The one that wasn't able to shoot video... lol.

By "Google messed up" I meant exactly that : they didn't want to do it. So they messed up... :cyclops:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Slow motion is easier to implement than HDR+. Google simply chose not to enable it for the Nexus 6. You however are missing the entire point about HDR+. What is apparently wanted here - the ability to take pictures rapidly in HDR+ mode - is simply impossible. It's impossible mainly because the hardware is already taking multiple images in a burst, and then having the software produce the final result.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
No no, I got that. Which is why I said "Slow motion is more doable than HDR+"... doable as in "to implement".

Pardon my wording. I suck today.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Nahh...it was probably me. I shouldn't be posting before heading off to work. :)

I'm sure when I do a more careful read I'll hit myself on the forehead and say "duhh". That said, slo mo would have been easy to implement as the hardware supposedly does support it, but not to the same level as the 6P. But then again, like virtually every flagship last year, there really was no compelling reason to get the 6P. Slo mo as a 6P exclusive does seem like a marketing tactic, to try and make the 6P more appealing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
Actually, that'd be me. Lol. Sorry.

If there's anything that makes the 6P more appealing than the Nexus 6, it wouldn't be the slow motion video recording capabilities. Fingerprint sensor, better camera and screen comes to mind...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Lack of OIS hurts the camera however.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
The 6P you mean? It's got EIS - Economic Image Stabilization. Derp :silly:

Even the Nexus 6 has some sort of OIS... only on one axis, though. But it's something.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cybertec69:
No issues with the camera on the 5X which has the same camera as the 6P, it takes great pictures.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] didicola:
even oneplusone had slow motion with snapdragon 801...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrw1215:
Kind of an odd question that's not necessarily about this ROM specifically (sorry if I've overlooked an answer somewhere, I did try to search through this thread for one). With screen recording, is there any way to get it to record the audio from what I'm doing, as well? Basically, I have a gaming YouTube channel that I'd love to do some videos of some mobile games on, but none of the easiest options for recording seem to record the game audio, as well. This ROM's built in screen recorder doesn't do it. The recorders in both the Google Play Games and YouTube Gaming apps don't record game audio. I don't really want to download some random app I've never heard of that does screen recording, I'd rather stick to something I trust a bit more. Are there no other solutions?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Slo mo likely doesn't require the camera2 api like HDR+. As mentioned, Google deliberately excluded slo mo from the Nexus 6 feature list. I do believe there are camera mods available on the Nexus 6 forums to enable it.

That said, the fingerprint scanner and improvements to the camera weren't enough to convince me to get the 6P over the 6. Add in the reduction in screen size, the Snapdragon 810, and the device's manufacturer, and I knew which way to go.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mastamoon:
What it comes down to is HDR+ and Auto HDR+ are basically useless for anything but staged pictures. If you may have to take more than 1 or 2 pictures in a 'quick' succession, better to turn off HDR+ cuz the lag will kill any chances of you getting the shot your looking for.

I don't think we should really be able to take 10 HDR+ shots in burst mode or anything, but for it to be useful in day to day pictures, you need to be able to take more than 1 or 2 at a time without the phone lagging like crazy.

Hopefully the new HTC Nexus's (SD820 or higher) can handle more HDR shots without crippling the phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The 820 will help on the processing end, but there will always be a short waiting period for HDR images. That is because HDR is not supposed to be used all the time. I personally leave HDR+ on all the time, but I'm also not taking pictures one right after another.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
I searched (very lightly) as I know I have seen this answered before but this ROM is standard system root off the bat right? Only if I were to unsu and install systemless root would it actually be systemless root correct? I'm asking because I am trying to get something figured out in the Adaway thread and someone responded asking me if I was systemless root. I installed adaway and the modified hosts file is installed and I can see the entries in the file if I open it. Host file even survives a reboot but for some reason no ads are blocked, it's like something is ignoring the /system/etc/hosts.

Running latest CMTE, no mods, no xposed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simms22:
if you have any issue, the very first thing to do is to remove xposed completely, and test again. as itll be xposed thats probably causing the issue.

or.. try adfree.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ed-flip:
Hey guys, sorry if this is newb question. Is there anywhere that lists whats included with the pure nexus Gapps package? I just flashed this rom with Banks's gapps because I know its extremely barebones. Just curious

I have tried adfree also (my first choice for ad blocking) but the same issue happens, hosts file is modified but no ad blocking actually happens.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Formhault:
If I remember correctly, Camera3 API came out. Right? Or that was just the bump in version number for the Google Camera :silly:

Don't forget the price (you could buy two Nexus 6's for the price of one 6P!). And the aesthetics, too - N6 > 6P in terms of sexiness & manliness, I think.

---------- Post added at 23:18 ---------- Previous post was at 23:08 ----------

I just tested this and noticed the shutter button becomes unavailable if you take two HDR+ photos in sequence (until one of them is done processing). And by the time I exit the app to open another one, the photos (or at least one of them) is done processing, so I don't notice much lag :cyclops: Definitely not enough to cripple the phone's performance. You should try using your phone while copying some large file to it (via USB). That's craaaazy...

I take pictures almost on a daily basis, usually two in a row... never noticed the lag you're talking about, because every time I had to take a 3rd shot, the 1st one would have finished processing by that time. Pictures taken mostly for sharing something with someone - so no need for "DSLR-grade" pictures, just good lighting so whites don't burn your eyes :laugh:

Processing time depends on the "complexity" of the photo. Some times it takes a second while other times it can take up to 10.
