Yes Xfinity Mobile piggy backs on the Verizon network, but you are probably going to have to research more about Xfinity's apns. Despite the Nexus 6 working on Verizon's without issue, it sounds more like your device isn't setup to work on their Network. I am on Verizon and everything works but WiFi calling and video calling do not. VoLTE works like a champ as does my speed

What are you talking about? Verizon used to sell the device to be used on their Network

https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/google-nexus-6/

And unlocked devices do work on their Network, you just don't get all the perks

I put the sim back in the Xfinity Mobile X Change phone and checked the signal strength and its pretty much the same as it is in the Nexus 6 so i guess my problem isn't the phone its my location.

The Nexus 6 with Pure Nexus works just fine on XM with the swapped sim you just need to make sure to activate the sim first in you XM phone before you swap is all

Now with the Comcast promo offering the LG X Change for just $1 its a win win situation better than BYOP

Boot.img problem

Gurus..help please. Been running 7.1.2 Pure Nexus for a while now and all was good. However, getting tired of not being able to run the likes of snapchat I decided to try install Magisk but seems I screwed up at the first hurdle. Magisk in TWRP was failing with an error 1 apparently I needed to restore a stock boot.img so I downloaded what I thought the correct one, flashed it (said successful) then without doing a reboot I immediatley flashed Magisk 13.3 again this too seemed sucessful however now when my phone boots it goes no further than the initial boot selection where I have options of start, power off, resart bootloader, or recovery. How would anyone recover from this please ????????????

Thanks for reading

John
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bfmetcalf:
choose recovery and press power button, once in TWRP dirty flash the 7.1.2 Pure Nexus ROM only and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryanallaire:
Either you have a corrupt magisk download or you have another root method already installed (SuperSU, etc) After dirty flashing the ROM install magisk right after..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lisaamybeth:
I did have SuperSu. So after I dirty flash would I need to install bbeansapps again before I try Magisk ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bfmetcalf:
Shouldn't need to install gapps after the dirty flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lisaamybeth:
Thank you everyone. Back up and running again. Now another pop at this daft Snapchat.

Perhaps they are working on an Android 8.0 update.

It is my understanding that it's rude to ask develpers for an ETA regarding an OTA.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
Read what the devs posted about PN August security patches and support of Oreo. They have already posted on this and are not going to keep answering the same questions over and over. They have other more important goals than spoon feeding users who don't read.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stivakos:
This a transition era and we need to be patient and let the devs do their magic.

Besides, everything is working like a charm, no rash is needed. Enjoy your phone until we'll taste the oreo.

Can you show me the breadcrumbs as to where this information is posted please?

I searched this whole thread for august and found nothing, and didn't see anything in faq etc
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
It is Beans post for the July release of PN ROM for Shamu. It was also mentioned in June that he and others still own the device and will do all they can to get it to work. PN is not a rom that is cranked out quickly. We all need to wait for perfection ;). From what I was reading in other threads a number of Devs are waiting for the September release to drop as Oreo is buggy out of the gate. If you really want to see what is going on head over to GitHub. You can see all the branches for Oreo, which rooms and which devices are being worked on. But overall just be patient and wait
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jwikoff99:
So, like, 80 or so pages back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Page 3755, so only 14 pages.

Search worked great for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Imagine how quiet this thread would be if the noobs followed your example, like they should.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] saltyzip:
I don't know what the issue is with you guys, I'm not interested in Oreo but Nougat august security patch release. Looking at the normal release cycle for PN it arrives before the month is out. It's now September and I couldn't see anything related to it.

I've gone back 14 pages and nothing related to august security patch for nougat, bunch of noobs giving false information ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
There is no issue, you are asking stuff that has been answered including the info on the August release. be it a 7.1.2 or 8.0 release, it will come when it comes. We will know when you know. The sarcastic tone from a number of regulars (myself included) is because this happens daily. Sit down, smoke a bowl and hang out with the rest of us while we wait for an update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
There is no August PN nor will there be, and it is not our fault you cannot find the explanation.

Searching for August update will get you what you already have, zip, zero, zilch, nada, none.

PN is moving on or dying for the N6, we just have to wait to find out which one.

Did you really not even read my post - the one right before yours? How is your (misplaced) question relevant to this ROM code development and collabration thread?

If you want to ask a question, please use the appropriate Forum, conveniently named "Nexus 6 Q and A, Help and Troubleshooting" - here's a handy LINK
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Gysper:
So we have people who keep asking for a Oreo release. I don't have a problem asking for it, but it seems we have three divides:

1. Asking nicely

2. Asking nicely but didn't get the memo

3. Asking but losing their patience

So here's the thing, like most people an update just doesn't suddenly appear. It's ready when it's ready. However, the newbies should know this ain't a full time job for a developer. You don't have 1000 people working on it, so if you want it now, answer is there's no certainty on when it comes out. If you want it so the developer has to announce every 10 minutes what the status is, then you should all know they are well aware of the situation. XDA is not like Facebook or Twitter, you don't get announcements every second.

We should all just be polite and not ask for a ETA, let them handle it and if there are any questions, then we can discuss it when it comes out. I'm excited too for it, but if we calm down then we can eagerly waiting for it.

PS: Add me to the PS4 if your going to play Destiny 2

Hi Guys

I've had my Nexus 6 since day one and have always been on this ROM. I have been busy but still keep up to date just don't follow the thread as much as I should. I wait for the updates and am usually about a week late lol. I didn't even think we were gonna get O on the Nexus but you never no with the greatest phone ever and the greatest Dev ever. Thanks Nate for all you do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
The info in the first several posts will help you with this upgrade. Make sure you update your bootloader and recovery to the latest before fishing the current ROM.

As to which root method, it's really personal preference. Right now I'm in Magisk, but I bounce back and forth.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryanduy:
Video guide?

Hi guy!

Anyone do this for your Nexus 6 with video guide?

I am not good do this so i need a video guide to show me how to install this.

Trying to back up my contacts in pure nexus and am unable to export, for some reason it goes to an empty file page, save button greyed out, I'm guessing it is greyed out because nothing is in the file. Yet I have hundreds of contacts.

I got the same....checked permissions and they look correct so not sure whats up....

Just switched over from Sprint to xfinity mobile and I seem to be getting an extra unusual battery drain

What are some of the settings to look at that maybe causing the extra battery drain ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Jwikoff99:
My guess would be that it's always trying to use the wifi. Did you look at the battery stats where it shows how much battery apps are taking?

your mean in Cellular network setting your Access Point Names ?

Hey folks, hoping for some help. I couldn't get any direct results for what I am experiencing with this dev for what I was searching for. I apologize if this was discussed on the last couple of pages also, but I didn't see it.

A co-worker has my N6 now and is staying on Pure Nexus as long as he can. He's had some really wonky stats lately, such as Bluetooth being 110% consumer and screen being 0%. I've attached a few screenshots.

FWIW I did a complete wipe/format when I gave him the phone. I obtained root again, and we got him on the latest PN release with no issues, except for this.

TIA. :cyclops:

Is there gonna be an update to get rid of that pesky blueborne vulnerability?

7.1.2_r24 is vulnerable, shamu-ngi55d isn't.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
So why are you using PN if you have a stock version that better suits you?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
Oreo is being worked on. By definition, that will patch the vulnerability. It's not out yet, and it's considered rude to request ETAs. As linked at the top of the website view of this thread, most of the current discussion is available at G+, where you will see the same questions with the same answers ?

If you have reason to be concerned about the BlueBorne vulnerability, the possibilities are to turn off bluetooth or to use the NGI55D (September) release available on the goggle factory images page.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
Wouldn't flashing an updated kernel patch it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
According to Franco, no.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pkt_Lnt:
x

I thought the same thing and tried ElementalX with Sept security, and that did not fix it. I had stopped using ElementalX, wanting to use The Flash upstreamed kernel.

I'm now installing stock to get this Blueborne fixed. I use BT 100% of the time with a smartwatch and many hours a day with BT headphones, often in public, transit or coffee shops. I use a VPN everywhere but home (home router full time VPN), but not sure if this affects Blueborne vulns, but for me it is not worth the risk. Too bad we skipped the Sept security fixes, and from all I have read, I could care less about the big O. I may or may not come back to PN. (sigh)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dadrising:
Your ROM is AWESOME, really, thanks for your work, but there is one feature you missed, native NTFS support. I believe, a lot of shamu users need this one.

But several other Devs are developing Oreo right now for the n6

"Sent from the Dog Pound"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Beans and The Flash each still have the N6. Beans has said that he will work on porting Android 8 to our device. If the progress of the existing Android 8 ROMs is any indicator, it shouldn't be too long before an Android 8 release of Pure Nexus is ready. However I do believe that the 6P and 5X, being still actively supported by Google, will see the ROM before we do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] guitardoc64:
Oreo PureNexus is coming folks. I'm waiting very patiently because I know that it will be double stuffed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
How about this. Wait till October 4th. If nothing looks good to you then then you will have the new Pixel 2 to look at which is where I'll be moving the moment preorder opens. That way you can still use everything. Because it's very likely that Google will be dropping 32bit support. Or at least it seems that way so it makes sense to move on. N6 may be great but let's not stretch it past it's time. It can only be on life support for so long.

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 AM ----------

Recommend Blackbird. Especially if your a fan of the flash kernel. I use it with the Berry Allen set and it's fast and great on battery. I've got my best performance for both on that kernel. But try them all and see.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Google won't drop 32-bit support for two reasons. First, there are still 32-bit devices being produced. Second, the code itself isn't 32- or 64-bit, but text.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Az Biker:
* * * Thread Cleaned * * *

Friends DON'T let friends ask ETAs.... let's not start the "Will Beans build an O Rom for N6?" mess.

If he does, it'll be posted when he's done cooking it, if he doesn't, he'll post something to that effect as well.

Remember, every time a user asks for an ETA, a unicorn loses it horn, and pixies gain 10 lbs prohibiting them from flying.

So, if you don't care about being selfish, or being rude to the dev; do it for the unicorns and pixies!

No one loves a hornless unicorn, or a flightless pixie.

Not sure what the problem may be, but I am trying to download

purenexus_shamu-7.1.1-20170317-OFFICIAL.zip from androidfilehost (link for download in thread) and am getting the error

Oops! No mirror found

I am currently running Pure Nexus 6.01 and want to update to get rid of the annoying notification that Android 7.1.1 is available.

I have never received a notification for an update before, and tapping it does nothing.

I wanted to download the rom and gapps, update to android 7.1.1, then flash the new rom.

Not sure if this is the proper way to do this, but it doesn't matter if I can't even download the rom.

Any suggestions or perhaps there's another link for downloading?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That's an old version. Download the 7/25 version instead. A link was provided recently in the thread, but you'll have to search for it as I don't have the post bookmarked. It's not the first post however.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] totallybeachin:
Just so I'm clear, (I'm really dumb when it comes to these things, I just follow tutorials),

the newest version is for Android 7.1.2; that won't mess anything up because I am only updating to 7.1.1 will it? :confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The update notification was for Android 7.1.1. Updating to the latest Pure Nexus running Android 7.1.2 will eliminate the notification. And there will be no more notifications since this device did not receive an official update to Android 7.1.2.

Keep in mind you have to do a clean install regardless, as you're coming from Android 6.0.1, so the notification will go away no matter which version you install.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ktmom:
I think what your are asking if you are updating the bootloader to a 7.1.1 release, is it ok to use the PN current release? Yes, you should be ok. Updating the radio is optional, it's really more carrier/location dependant. It is ROM version independent.

Here's the current release post. It's also linked to in the 1st post under one of the spoilers (for downloads I think).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
Google won't be building Android with 32bit in mind phone wise. Only 64bit devices get Android 8+ unless xda decides to take on a task which can take a very long time without a full team helping. It takes a lot to make it work. I'm sure beans will keep support until the release of 9 though. He probably won't do 9 because it's a little out of the n6 life span.

---------- Post added at 03:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

Thanks for the heads up. Man thats the nail in the head I needed. First it was flash, then blackbird. Time for a new phone. But the kernel in this rom is actually good enough for most people I would say.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
What Google chooses to do is irrelevant. As long as the source code is available, building a 32-bit version of Android 8 or later will be possible. The only time bit depth matters is on compiling the code into an executable form.

Even better, a team isn't necessary to build a working Android 8. Just look at CRDroid and Carbon ROM. Two ROMs, assembled by individuals, not teams.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dictionary:
I think most peoples worry comes more from apps. Will we get 32 bit versions of Google's apps, and stuff like Play Services
