I'm another lurker that has been in the background for a month or so ... it takes that long to read all of the prose being thrown around. I guess that means no soup for me. Anyway, I flashed the Rom over the weekend and I have been pleased with the whole experience ... just like everyone else.

I glad to be part of the Pure Nexus crowd.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidkevlar:
So decided to give lean kernel a shot, and noticed, since installing it (I dirty flashed ROM + Fi dialer before flashing it) my battery readings are way off. Batt stats show nothing is draining battery, sleeping like a baby, yet alomost 5% an hour if not in use and 10%+ an hour if using is being dropped. But when I charge it, takes like 10-15mins to fully charge. Never noticed this on any other ROM. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangalo2004:
It's a problem with the latest version of the kernel. Try version 2.11 or look for a test build (2.12.2) that was posted a couple of days ago.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidkevlar:
Thank you kind random stranger. Seems to be working already.

Soup for EVERYONE! Let us know whatever you might need and we will do our best, as a community, to help you get up to speed and comfortable here. This is not a thread you need to read 700 pages back to "prepare" to be part of - no tests or quizzes here! Jump right in, all are welcome, if you find yourself in over your head by all means ask for help and it will come your way. Welcome!

That right there is what makes this thread awesome.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ed Murray:
No need for a flame suit here, and if I were you I'd read more than just the last few pages. This is one of the best threads on XDA and rightly so.

Taking your statement at face value, if that is what you want, why leave stock?

Beyond that, you would be hard pressed to find a more stable or feature rich ROM for the N6 anywhere. The developer here is meticulous.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CayenneGTS:
I actually did read about 20 pages from the first page on and that's why I got very interested in this ROM. I then posted a couple of questions starting yesterday about 10 pages prior to this morning, got them all answered from this awesome community. Went home later and noticed 10 more new pages of people complaining. Hence my post of this morning. :)

I can't help being a flashaholic lol, but want to limit the flashing to the bare minimum and get some extra features like a restart function for example. I miss that on the stock ROM...................... that's so weird that you can't restart your device without first powering it off.

Great to hear! :D

Average time on voice calls for SOT?

I see a lot of you guys always comparing average SOT on different kernels, but no one ever mentions how much time they have spent on voice calls. I find that I often have higher use from voice calls than from screen if I spend a couple hours in calls, even if I have used the screen a few hours as well. I'm curious if any of the rest of you factor voice call time into your SOT, and if so, how? Or am I just old (only 26 but I hate texting instrumental communication) and the rest of you all strictly communicate by text like the rest of my friends try to with me? (And then I just call them back like "nope, not taking 25 minutes to have a seven sentence conversation with you today dude", but that's neither here nor there)

I would post this in a kernel thread or even its own but to be honest, I see more SOT comparison of different kernels done in this particular thread than anywhere else on the N6 forums, and given the informative nature of this thread I feel like this is a decent spot to get a little discussion going. It interests me because it's something I've never seen mentioned before, but voice calls definitely eat up my battery more than screen on does during a regular day's usage - anytime I've ever seen really high SOT (6+ hours)/tested high SOT (hit 10 hours before) and reported it myself even I was not making active voice calls. I might hit 6 - 8 hours SOT if not using voice calls, usually I get like 6 -8 hours out of my phone combined SOT/voice call time if I am making heavy calls though. What about you guys?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Adreaver:
I haven't posted SOT stats yet, as in still testing different kernels... Think I've settled on blu_spark though.

At any rate, when I do post SOT, I consider screen, voice calls, and playing music to be "active use" and everything else "standby". I find that I don't really care what my SOT is as long as my "active use time" fits my needs.

That said, I have yet to end a non-flashing day at under 40% with moderate use.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] puritan007:
The rom is fine. The extras are fine. At this moment I'm on the newest version of this rom, with hells mako 9 kernel, with parts of 4 layers themes, xposed, hairy box, lolistat, YouTube say, amplify, greenify, everything's great no issues at all.

Main rules of flashing have not changed :

Check md5,

Use preferred gapps,

Wipe x3

Use latest twrp

Install proper radio/bootloader first.

Install rom, gapps reboot.

Install others after first boot.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] CayenneGTS:
Thanks colfax.

Got a question about one of your steps above - "Install proper radio/bootloader first". I didn't know I had to do this step. I'm curious to know why this needs to be done. I have a stock Nexus 6 with the latest build 5.1.1 LMY48I. Baseband version is MDM9625_104446.01.02.101R (don't know if this is relevant, I'm with Rogers/Fido in Canada)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kris Nelson:
Not sure what you're looking for here.. But I'm guessing on ambient display you are only seeing the notification icon and not the actual notification text?

This is either a rom or a theme issue as there are commits to correct and reserve the doze on ambient display.

I'm not currently running Pure but if it's happening on all themes, it's just likely Beans needs to add those additional commits.. If it was only a particular theme, contact the theme developer.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ed Murray:
I could probably get away with uninstalling the phone app and not notice it for weeks. I get or make a call very rarely. I'm getting 4-6 SOT w/EX kernel (default settings) and latest PN build. If I'm just browsing XDA, etc I can get a little more.

I don't really measure battery life since I now carry the FI battery pack with me and plug in consistently throughout the day. My life is much calmer since I gave up trying to squeeze every SOT minute out of this device. The ironic twist being that my SOT got better when I layed off the battery tweaking...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
I kind of messed up flashed blue kernel then wasn't Happy with that so I flashed Elite.I think my Nexus had a stroke kept on getting BSOD tried flashing a backup no data flashed a old backupnof clean rom got data back flashed pure again all seemed well but no play store flashed gapps again finally back to normal. Phone is on bed rest lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kingston73:
I avoid things like this by dirty flashing the rom and then the new kernel. Haven't had a problem yet. Also, when trying to restore your backup did you wipe the phone first, like you would when clean flashing?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] courtmagician:
Potentially a dumb question and I can't find the answer (probably because I don't the exact terms to search for), it out of curiosity I flashed the Google dialer and have discovered that it will no longer let me dial out using Google Voice. I could use Hangouts dialer, but as I don't yet have Project Fi, and I'm still hesitant to make calls through Wifi or data, how do I get back the original dialer? Without having to flash the whole rom or gapps package?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
Anyone on fi having issues when on T-Mobile? I have no data while on T-Mobile. Driving me nuts because of the auto switching keeps throwing me back on it. I've used the dialer codes for sprint. Its the first issue I've had and its about to become a deal breaker for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kingston73:
Just dirty flash the ROM. (for the poster court magic)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wooddale:
Ya I did wipe every time. Also between the two kernels some how it drained my battery brown to 11%. So something got jacked. Your right though I should have dirity flashed ROM I just read that to but didn't to it oh well back to normal and not affraid to try again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] YevOmega:
This coming from xda's best recognized gangster. Time for soup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CayenneGTS:
I just went through the install of this ROM and have two questions.

After flashing the ROM and before rebooting to recovery to flash the Elite kernel - when going through setup in Android, I got to the screen where it asked if I wanted to restore a previous backup or setup as a new device, I attempted to set it up as a new device, but after clicking the radio button for new device, it wouldn't let me click on Next, so after a while of trying this, I clicked on restore last used. Was this the wrong thing to do? If yes, should I start over again from scratch and wipe everything except internal and then flash the ROM, Gapps then reboot and flash the kernel? I had backed my data already, that's why I wanted to set it up as a new device, but I couldn't do that.

Second question, after flashing the Elite kernel, I then went to the App store and noticed that all my apps had started to download which is cool, however the weird part about this is that it does not show the usual arrow pointing down in the status bar that its downloading anything and there's nothing in the notification panel indicating that its downloading my apps.............. is this normal?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Krayvon:
Been on this rom for the first time for the past 3 hours. and I'm very impressed. I guess the name "pure nexus" held me back for a while to even click on it as I assumed it was mostly stock, and i was wrong :)

I see a lot of people are enjoying Elite and Lean Kernel. Anyone using ElementalX from Flar2? He just released a new update today.

and last but not least ,a feature request to OP, call recording while on a call, similar to aosip would make this rom even better.:o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stebomurkn420:
Does everything look good to you guys? I do not grasp the way bbs works. This was from a full charge and I let the phone sit dormant for a solid 10 hours while I was snoozing. WiFi on, data on, GPS on. The battery drain seems reasonable that I only lost 7% in 11 hours but I know it could be better. I can let my lg gpad 7.0 LTE sit for 8 hours with 1% drain. Granted it only has a 720 screen and baby girl hardware. I feel like I could get less idle drain out of my nexus. Let me know what you guys see...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nfremd:
I'm on elementalx M preview 3 and I'm enjoying it. I've tried hells/blu spark. I flashed it and the verdict is still out if i'm getting drastically better performance/ battery then the others. Personally I didn't like blu spark.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adrman:
I had been using the ElX M preview kernels for most of the summer, but was getting an occasional RR using Google Maps. The RR happened across three different ROMs, LightRom, Aosip and PN. I couldn't ever grab a log because I was behind the wheel. Anyway, I decided to try Elite just to see if the RR disappeared. I'm not seeing much difference in battery between the two, performance is great and so far (it's only been a week) no RR. I haven't seen any other reports of similar behavior with ElX though and had no other issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ed Murray:
I use EX kernel on two N6's and I swear by it. 4-6 hours SOT depending on activities, swipe up to wake enabled, dt2w disabled, default settings elsewhere in EX kernel app and its as solid as it can be. No reboots, lag or anything. Plus the app has handy performance and battery saver profile widgets that actually work well. I'm going to update tonight.

If ya need anything just shout.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RCDuke:
I jumped over here from Terminus after RastaPop was discontinued. I'm definitely enjoying the ROM so far, but I'll be switching kernels sometime later in the week.

#WhiteUIsMustDie
[Nexus 6 Android Development] brizey:
If you want performance, I think the stock, as in stock-stock, is the best. The kernel this ROM is packed with is performs spectacularly. If you want a few features, like built-in color control, etc., then I think elementalx is the way to go. I use the stock kernel on this ROM, but I would not hesitate to recommend elementalx.

Warning: opinions likely to annoy some below!

I think too many of the kernels trade 10-15% performance in things I notice, like app loads and scrolling, for things I don't notice (or see at all), like screen on time above 2 or 3 hours. I never really run out of battery, so tweaking things in that direction can only hurt for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] courtmagician:
Unfortunately, before I got to that point, I discovered (as the poster after me did), that I no longer had data on T-Mobile, so did a dirty flash which unfortunately didn't solve the problem of no data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
I can use this kernel with no tweeking at all (apart from screen calibration)

My phone sleeps like a baby on the dual core default settings , plus I can get 5 and 7 hr SOT and great stability :)

But everyone uses their device different so your results may vary :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blackiedamus:
I'm having issues with Fi not wanting to switch me to the appropriate network based off signal strength. I want to try to do a clean flash once I return home and see if that will clear things up. I'm lucky to still have my AT&T sim that I can use when I have almost no signal with Sprint or T-Mobile.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bmwh0r3:
Only thing I can think of that I've done differently is a kernel. I may go stock this weekend just for a change. Fi official roms are slim. I'm not liking marshmallow previews either. :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Blackiedamus:
My performance has been all over the place with Hells and Elemental. Today I'm at 2.5 SOT with 70% left on my battery with my Moto 360 and HA location on. The other day I couldn't get 2.5 SOT at all. Same setup and kernel. And I am around the same area, so why the difference in performance is beyond me. A clean flash and no restore of data save contacts usually helps. Might do a full wipe considering I haven't since I activated Project Fi last week. Will report back and hopefully with better results. Or at least more consistent with decent performance.

As active as this community is, I feel like your fear is unwarranted - there are a few newcomers who might get initial trepidation due to seeing reports of issues, but by and large I think this community is responsive and quick enough to reply with "I'm not seeing that on ___ kernel or stock".. I do see the potential for issue but I do not see it being a problem in this community because we are always ninja'ing each other - issue reports should not pile up without people reporting things working just as fast. Plus, users can always just flash lean or Elite until you get your kernel up for M.. that would make things simple for everyone lol.

Hey [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION].

You, and many others recommend dirty flashing the ROM before switching custom kernels.

Instead of dirty flashing between custom kernels, I flash the boot.img from the build of pure nexus I'm running. I haven't run into any issues so far.

Is this okay as far getting back to stock kernel, and ramdisk? Am I missing out on something by not dirty flashing
