Sorry in advace for the long post....but I could really use the expertise of this board.

I flashed Pure Nexus 3 weeks ago (clean flash through TWRP, Gaps, everything in OP etc..) and used it as a daily driver phone with no problems until a few days my phone just kind of ....broke.

I was using the Pure Nexus kernel, Project Fi and nothing weird (except maybe Greenify, and Layers) when out of nowhere my phone started rebooting every 10 minutes. I'm married with kids and didn't have time to mess with things, so I used WugFresh NRT (I know, I'm going to get scolded) to flash back to stock, including "Force Flash"). Well everything flashed fine, so I assumed I was good as new. Well, during the Marshmallow new user setup it couldn't hold the WiFi signal, and the crashes and reboots still remained. So, all the problem still remained after flashing back to stock.

So, since my phone was supposedly completely stock, and still crashing and broken WiFi, I assumed I broke the phone, and bought a 6p off Craigslist...but that's besides the point (told my wife I needed a working phone ASAP for work [emoji23] ).

Can anyone tell me how I could have flashed completely back to stock with NRT and still have all these issues? I KNOW I couldn't have messed up the phone hardware in any way.

TLDR; I flashed stock, still broken. Factory reset, still reboots and wifi cant stay connected more than 5 min unless I reset. Are there still remnants of something on my phone? Radio, Kernel, everything in " about phone " all shows stock. My N6 boots up just fine, it just isn't usable in its current condition.

I would love to use Pure Nexus on my 6p, because I really enjoyed those 2 weeks of using it, but I'm afraid to break my 6p like I broke my 6.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FizzleDiz:
Nope, at one time I used OGYoutube so I could play YouTube music or DIY's with the screen off, but I quit using that shortly after I started. The only mods on my phone are xtrememusic with V4A, and lucky patcher
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
It's pretty hard to break your phone hard to say but something just may have really broke not your fault. Sometimes the tool kits don't work exactly right don't get me wrong I respect what they do but you may want to try to go back flashing the stock image in adb. Then if problem still exists there is something wrong with your phone you are stock you can send it back you can send it back anyway I don't think they care. As far as flashing on 6p its not a disease your 6p can't catch it from your 6 lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
You can't flash images in adb. Adb is not fastboot. You flash images with fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chrisram88:
Just bootloader and radio
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
Adb is the tool you need so yes you do need it to flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
No way. Thank goodness CMTE is probably going to be extinct. CMTE can't come close to comparing to layers.

Layers used to be more complicated but today's Layers Manager app makes applying them extremely easy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bbran33:
Thanks for the response I will give that a try. I think the disease is my inability to stop flashing things on my phone when I need the phone to run my small business and I have 3 little kids and should have better things to do [emoji23]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
Lol when you put it like that I guess we all have the disease.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Don't know if this is an issue with PureNexus or Marshmallow in general in combination with ViPER4Android. Whenever I play audio from Google Music or Pandora, there is a lot of popping and feedback sounds that can be heard when ViPER is enabled. It almost sounds like something is rubbing against the headphone cord (that's the best I can describe it).

The only way I've found around it is to install the highest quality audio driver, which says it will drain the battery more.

Anybody have similar experience or any suggestions for a fix?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
I would suggest trying to flash the stock image using fastboot and the flash-all script Google provides.

First you just need to be sure you have a functioning fast boot install. Then dump the extracted stock image files in the same directory as fastboot and double click the flash-all script
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Shepguessed:
I have not had any battery drain with super high quality drivers, in fact most people install this one. I think that warning has been around so many years and you can ignore it. To enjoy viper completely, install the best drivers!

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
I am use to running this on Lollipop where I would use the battery saving drivers. It sounded good enough for my use. But like I said, anything less than the best drivers on Marshmallow produces lots of bad audio noise. Guess I'll just have to stick with the best! :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maigre:
Don't prioritize poor performance over minor battery life issues. I use the highest quality V4A driver and get great battery life. Granted, I'm not playing audio 24 hours a day, so maybe when I am, the battery drains faster, but I don't care. It's worth it. That said, when V4A is doing its thing, my battery life is fine.

Any flagship level device these days is so powerful that there's little reason to compromise quality in favor of things like battery life other than in extreme situations.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alexnaoumi:
The stock Google messenger.

I had hangouts as well but it wasn't enabled for sms. I thought that since kit Kat you wouldn't be able to enable two sms apps at the same time. I just switched to hangouts and disabled the stock Google messenger and it seems that all is well. Thanks for the suggestion
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kingston73:
A little of topic but is there some place that summarizes googles versions of MM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Still cannot delete system apps on both clean and dirty flash. Not life and death but just wanted to report it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Did you try and use Titanium Backup?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] franatic08:
ES File Exporer lets me uninstall system apps just fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] scryan:
No, you don't.

They are two different programs provided by the android SDK.

Try installing neither, then downloading an image from google and keeping the fastboot.exe in the folder your working out of... it will still work.

ADB = android debug bridge. When flashing an image your not dealing with android yet.

Fastboot = interface for the fastboot mode of the bootloader.

Two programs, two different usages.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Does anyone have an apk for the latest Play Store? I got the new version with the new UI, but somehow at random as I was using it, it reverted back to the previous version.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
It is a server side switch, not an apk switch. I still have v6.0.0 but the new UI disappeared just like yours did. There may have been an issue with it or something, who knows?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] agentfazexx:
Well the reason I ask is previous versions have had apks available...even UI changes. But my Nexus 7 has it...not this phone...same Google account, same GApps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
I'm doing it in Titanium Backup and it hasn't worked since the update to Marshmallow. And I don't use ES File Explorer especially with the newest version.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kris Nelson:
What happens when you try? Have you made sure tibu was granted root?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
What system app in particular, I will give it a try
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
Yes, TIBU has root. Clean Flash wouldn't go past the Google screen. Dirty Flash immediately powered off. Both times I was able to get into the bootloader and get into recovery and restore my backup.

Camera and Calendar.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kris Nelson:
Ohh you're just having a fill of issues. Very possible though had a bad download.. Did you try a fresh download of the ROM and gapps?

Are you coming from LP? Did you update you bootloader?

Also.. I was asking about system apps in tibu.. When you try deleting the calendar and camera.. What is happening?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
APK Mirror has everything
[Nexus 6 Android Development] robstillholdin:
Had the same type of thing happening with a bad download
[Nexus 6 Android Development] an21281:
With tibu make sure to remove mount namespace separation from su settings first in order to remove sys apks. Usually it will give you a message when initially opening tibu that it may not work correctly leaving it on... With it on it would still say it removed the app but not actually do anything. I also enable su during boot and trust system user
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chrisram88:
What's a good replacement for Es file explorer? I'm not liking the new homepage and cleaning crap
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
I use solid Explorer, been using it for years, works great
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lazer77:
Glad I'm not the only one.. Yuck.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kris Nelson:
You can change the homepage.. Click the left drawer slide out and long press on Home.. That will return the sdcard home page.. but I'm with ya on the cleaning and ads stuff.. They are supposedly going to do s paid version to rid..

I gave solid explore a whirl. It's nice

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer2
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beepea206:
I use fx and Solid Explorer (paid for the license for both. Worth it),bit fx is really a monster that let's me do everything I want/need. If you're in need, the sftp is blazing fast (some ftp apps are slow as hell).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason504:
I have reflashed the rom and xposed still no go.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maigre:
I'm with all of you. I've used ES File Explorer very happily for a few years. But this latest home screen and cleaner thing rubs me the wrong way. You can change the home screen, but still...

I use Solid Explorer and FX, too, and have for a long time, but usually as alternatives for things that I don't like as much in ESFS, like changing permissions. Lately, I'm gravitating towards them more. Too bad, really. For all the virtues of the other two, ESFS's strengths are appealing ones. I wonder what this is all about. Anyone know how ESFS makes money off the app? There's no pro version. I don't see ads, but I use an ad blocker. But I don't recall seeing them, anyway.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] oak:
FX is great. My favorite by far. It streams well over SSH.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Volvogia:
I have a question. Honestly don't know if this belongs here in the ROM topic or in the QA section but I'll shoot here first. I'm coming from the note 4. It has fast charging like this phone does. The note 4 would pop up saying fast charging when the fast charger was plugged in. This phone does not do that. I have a genuine Motorola N6 charger I just got today. I plugged it up and it works but no clue if it is actually fast charging. Does the ROM not show that? Or does the phone just not show that even on stock firmware?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Can't do that if you want the Google Fi Dialer options....

If you look at the status on the lock screen, it should tell you how long it'll take to charge.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION], I got an email today from Project Fi saying there's an update to Marshmallow. LMAO. I see on the developer's site there's images for MRA58N and MRA58R now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
I might need to try that with the next update. It's not life and death, I just don't use those apps. I've been on Pure Nexus Marshmallow since it's been released and I've used the flashable bootloader and radio with no other issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
I go old school i have the fonts i want in a folder and i manually copy then into system/fonts overwriting whats there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
I flashed the themeable dialer, but have 2 dialers now, which one do I get rid of, and where is it? Somebody posted this about 60 pages back and I can't find it now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tutusinghsohi:
Hey so I'm still having trouble with the Project Fi app. It keeps saying my service is not fully activated, and then it keeps giving an error and says to contact support.

Someone said to make sure the app has all permission, which I double checked and it does. Still the same error.

Any ideas? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Root Explorer.... an oldie buy goodie
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
I was able to remove the calendar with TitBu and it rebooted fine. I then removed camera and it wouldn't boot, it may have if I left it for awhile didn't wait more than a minute or two. When I rebooted I got the unlocked bootloader splash screen then the screen went black, no boot animation showed, just like it was powered off.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TexasRules777:
I flashed both ( I'm on fi ) and I ended up with no dialer. Reflashed the fi dialer from the op and I got my dialer back. I then had 2 contacts? Kept the one that was themed properly and hid the other one. Now my contacts are themed properly and I can just make a call from there. Phone still has white on white text for settings and what not but I can live with that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Anybody have a mirror to latest build? Says not found for hours..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] K-alz:
So, I think no need to flash a custom kernel since the one that comes with the ROM supports screen colors calibration. Do you guys think a custom kernel is necessary?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
I wish I paid more attention to your original post, removing the camera will cause a bootloop and will not boot. Tried that before because I wanted to install the 3.0 camera.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JoshuOne:
okay. I really appreciate the Nexus device thing, after reverting to kitkat on my wife's Moto X second generation, she too an OTA update and hard bricked her phone! The folks at Moto say it's warranty is void because of unlocked bootloader! just thought I'd add that anecdote.

Anyhow, something that has been frustrating through the last couple PN builds is the lack of reliable connectivity to my home wifi... no trouble connecting, but the N6 will say that it is connected with no internet... I know the router is working fine because I can get internet on my laptop just fine. I really hope that this is a known and simple fix. Please help, my cell coverage is spotty at best at home, so for speedy internet I relied on the wifi.

Oh, one other thing, since the 11/13 PN if I type my password wrong to unlock the phone, it makes me wait 30seconds, is there a way to disable this? thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Thank you I will definitely try it

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 AM ----------

My favorite
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
That was my original on the subject, I tried it for someone else and indeed you can not remove the camera. Did you try to install the 3.0 camera first and then remove the stock camera? Maybe it just needs a camera installed.

I don't take many pictures and am satisfied with the current one. Just wanted to confirm the results
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AntikytheraTech:
I have seen some people post about how the kernel that comes with this ROM supports screen color calibration... This made me think way back to the CM7 days when there was a setting (under display preferences I believe) called filter options...? I remember using the all red option when I had my phone mounted on my dash while driving at night. Was wonderful for not killing your night vision. Is it possible to achieve that now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
Have you tried to enable legacy dhcp client in developer options?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
I tried, it fails to install, so I figured I would just delete the original one with tibu (reboot to finalize the temoval) bootloop heaven. So I tried flashing gapps back, didn't help. So, I did a clean flash, wanted to do that anyways since the last fifty flash borked my "backup" options for device. I had 2 other camera apps installed when all this failed, so that didn't have any effect.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
It is but you will need a kernel control app, I use ex kernel manager

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Kind of odd, I didn't make a back up before I tried it. Didn't figure it would actually loop, I reflashed pure and it booted fine but had no camera, instead of reflashing gapps I just restored with TitBu. Although it just hung on restoring so I did a reboot and it was restored.

Just had another thought on it, maybe it boot loops because other apps have camera permissions?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AntikytheraTech:
Thanks! Just gave EX Kernel Manager a try and it does give me the ability to adjust the color but sadly I can't adjust it in such a way to recreate the red mode from the CM7 days of old :(

It seems to just make the screen have a red hue rather than subtract all green and blue from the display, even if I drag the green and blue sliders all of the way down. But thanks for the info anyways!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
Did you try the gray scale toggle and the hue saturation contrast and value sliders. I don't recall the red mode you are referring to so I can't really play around to try and recreate it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DA6030:
NavBar Customization for additional user accounts

First off, this ROM is awesome!! Really nice work Beans!

Only bug I have found so far is in trying to customize the NavBar for additional user accounts. I'm not sure if you intended for customizations to be per-user or global (they appear to be per-user, which is fine). On secondary user accounts, tapping Edit on the Buttons and Layout screen doesn't make the NavBar editable, it just toggles the edit/save icon.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maigre:
Check out Chainfire's cf lumen or Urbandroid's Twilight. They're similar and both are great for this sort of thing. They'll do exactly what you're looking for. And you can leave your device's color calibration at your preferred setting with it and this is a device that needs color calibration.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JoshuOne:
Tried this rebooted, Wifi connects fine, if I toggle the wifi goes back to connected, no internet...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Update to latest radio.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kingston73:
I'll second cf lumen, great app and is automatic so you don't need to think about it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
In there upcoming release changelog (see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ROCTINpYR2M2QZ-uzErZSNK8gjIm_bXS6sXL83YePd0/pub)

there is:

"Change: recent apps now draw behind statusbar and search bar"

Does it mean it will be like in Chroma Rom?

If that's the case, please don't. It looks way better like it is right now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
We, it's good to see that I'm not the only one with the same issues. I wish that we could use something other than the Pure Nexus Gapps because I would rather download the Google Apps I want.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] a.demarco:
Ok, so I have a slight issue since cleanflashing the 11.13 build.

Every time I reboot, I get a notification from Visual Voicemail to grant it permissions. I don't have VVM installed (that I know of), only regular voicemail. Usually I just swipe it away, but last time I even tried just granting it permission, and it still comes up every reboot.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FizzleDiz:
I believe Beans had to do a lot of work to update Gapps to work on PN with MM. As far as I know his gapps are completely necessary atm till he says otherwise.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Trina9:
That's what I'm thinking. I've heard that others have been updated to Marshmallow but I'm just going to stick to his until I heard anything else.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chrisram88:
Maybe re download xposed and the apk. Using sdk 23 arm right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] studiorat:
Notifications are not working on this Version 6.0, No Email notifications again, same thing last Version, 5.1, all settings are correct, and notifications turned on.....any ideas
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bucika:
Just a heads up.

I've just tried this rom (coming from chroma, because of custom date format in statusbar, lol)

And I have to say I am glad I did so. The rom works great. :)

As for the Gapps go, I've flashed banks gapps from chroma thread and it works without any problems. :)

I am also using elemnetal x kernel with this rom, so far so good! :)

Cheers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] daheazle:
You can flash any gapps you want, I have tried a few. Some didn't work some did. Beans says to use his because they do work and it will cut down on people reporting bugs that are caused by gapps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jason504:
Thanks I did the this to bit no luck
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ravni:
Hi everyone

sorry if it has already been answerd (i guess it has but i can,t find it)

I actually have a 5.1.1 rom (dirty unicorn), and after much consideration (becoz i find cmte theme better than layers mostly), i'm willing to update to a 6.0 rom (unless you tell me there is not much change between the two...)

what are the differents steps? i coudn't find it in OP

And does this rom needs a kernel or radio and all that? or is everything packed in the zip?

thx very much
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Geko-x:
Flashed 2 day ago great rom very snapy and stable so far. Only issue i have from stock to this is . when calling someone nirmally the screen goes off when you place the phone near your head but now when taking the cellphone away froum the head when in call screen does not turn un unless you turn the screen on with the power button , i did not have this issue on stock ,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phyba:
Did google remove the option to search for places directly from the dialer?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maigre:
Flash the Fi dialer from the link in the OP. And I think location services have to be turned on so that the dialer knows what area to search in.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] clothednblack:
Switching from LP to MM is definitely worth it for me. You need to wipe everything except your SD card, flash the M bootloader before flashing the rom.

Do you have a screen protector?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
PSA - if you leave USB OTG plugged in the device never goes into deep sleep. I think that's by design, but I didn't find out until leaving it plugged in overnight and waking up with a dead battery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maigre:
There's a kernel in the .zip for the ROM, so you don't need to flash one. But there's no bootloader or radio. So you'll need to flash at least the bootloader, as another user mentioned. Flashing a 6.0 radio isn't a must, but you'd likely find it worthwhile. There are links to those in threads here. Ask if you have trouble finding one. If you're not completely comfortable with the whole process, make sure to do a Nandroid backup from TWRP first, and copy it to your computer. You'll have to reinstall all your apps, too, so you might consider a Titanium Backup of your apps if you don't feel like redownloading all of them from the Play Store. Best not to restore the app data on an upgrade to MM, though.
