Maybe I'm missing it, but is there a way to stop wallpaper scrolling? I'm using wallpapers meant for desktops and they keep scrolling.

I'm using stock Android.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcet:
Use an alternate launcher like Nova.

Ah, I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. Thanks for the answer though. :)

Oh no, I've had no problems with Nova launcher - used it on my Galaxy S3. I just like the look of stock after being on touchwiz.

Need some help, bought the nexus 6P two days back. I am trying to add a new theme through Layers but seems I need to root. Is my understanding right?

Coming from Oneplus one, tired of rooting and would want to stay with stock for sometime atleast. Is there any other way I can apply themes without rooting? Want to install a dark theme.. Too white at the moment! :)

Hey Guys

What do you need to backup via twrp for a full system back up? I haven't made a backup since my s4.... the options seem to be different:cowboy:
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
system, data, boot, (include Vendor if your nand is the last one before flashing a new build which will have a new vendor, that way if you need to restore that nand from the previous build you'll have the right vendor for that build)

IF you haven't already, make sure you backup your EFS and keep a copy on your internal sdcard AND on a separate medium: pc, cloud, dropbox. etc.. You only need to do this once, if for some reason you lose the EFS backup, just make another, but always have an EFS backup somewhere ;D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritchiejoe:
it didn't go into the twrp folder, all I can see in there is a 1 kb file. Cant find it anywhere.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
Not sure, I've never had a backup "disappear"...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritchiejoe:
Fixed it by copying the folder contents to a new folder via es file explorer.... I could then see the backup on my computer in the new folder.

I should have known really, I have to do the same with my titanium backups. Thanks for the help :)

Wind Mobile lists a 32GB model (model number: H1511).

I am interested in buying a 128GB model but Wind does not carry it (so it would be through Amazon or other Canadian retailer) but I'd like to know which variant would be compatible with it.

Any help with this is appreciated. I'm stuck between deciding between this or an LG G5.

My battery life seems like garbage .. Maybe I'm wrong. Little over an hour on screen. Just texting for that . and I basically let it sit idle for 5 hours during the two baseball games I coached .. I'm currently on latest pure nexus with stock kernel
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The stock battery metrics are pretty garbage, don't even bother looking at them. Use BetterBatteryStats instead, they'll give you an accurate look at what's using your battery and whether you're experiencing wakelocks.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firestonebeer:
I am a bit confused. If I am on MMB29P, can I just flash factory image to MHC19I without the other ones, i.e., MMB29Q. And then what is the difference between the factory image download and OTA download. Why am I using one over the other? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
Yes, you can flash the factory image pieces from MHC19I over MMB29P without the other ones in between. The OTA zips are incremental updates (only include what has changed), they are not complete sets of images so you can't skip between those. You would need to update each one between MMB29P and MHC19I. Does that make sense?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firestonebeer:
I think so. So if I do the factory image, I do not need the OTA because all updates are included in that factory image?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
Correct. When I was on stock, I never took an OTA. I always preferred flashing the images myself.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You need a custom recovery to root your device.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertoo24:
I was using wugfresh toolkit and there is option to uncheck "flash custom recovery" when rooting.

Wysłane z mojego Nexus 6P przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Oh, you're a toolkit user. Fine if you want to do it that way, but you really should have a good knowledge of fastboot if you're modifying your phone. Toolkits rob you of that knowledge, and it's that knowledge that'll get you out of trouble when it happens. You'd probably benefit from having a look at my guide:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

Anyway, no you can't take OTA updates if you're rooted. You need to either flash the factory images to update or use Flashfire.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
No you can't, it can only be flashed with fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
If you have TWRP 3.0.0-0 and newer installed, it supports flashing the system and vendor images. So you would be able to flash the system, boot, and vendor images (the big three in staying up to date). However, you would need fastboot for the radio and bootloader images.

Hey, guys so I have an app incompatibility problem,

I'm trying to get the Amazon app, but I get this error. https://imgur.com/QfYIvwK

At first I thought maybe it was because I was using a different DPI but it looks like that wasn't it. I was at 500DPI then switched to the 470-510 range, but still was incompatible. I then switched back to the default 560, still incompatible.

Any advice on getting this to work?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
Well for the second part, you are trying to flash a Nexus 6 bootloader on the Nexus 6P, which is why it failed (and thank goodness it did).

Did you make a backup before rooting? If you did, just restore it. If not, I would follow section 11 of this guide. Then, if you want to try rooting again, follow section 6.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanchance:
Section 6 in that same guide that I linked, titled "How to root".
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
What state is your phone in now? Is the bootloader unlocked? Do you have TWRP recovery installed? You've gone from wanting to root, to trying to flash the wrong bootloader to your device (you're incredibly lucky this failed, you nearly bricked your phone), to wanting to unroot again, and now wanting to root again. You're a bit all over the place. I'd suggest you slow down a bit and take some time to learn about what you're doing before jumping in head first. As I pointed out you came so close to bricking your phone by trying to flash the wrong bootloader to it. Why exactly do you want to have root access on your phone?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmca90:
my phone is working fine and i have root it also, TWRP is installed but one thing i want to ask is that when i was rooting my phone , in recovery mode i have to flash the zip file i.e. supersu.zip file but things is , im unable to located the zip file and also the internal memory is 0mb , when i want to install the font also i'm unable to find the zip file and i move that file some other folder which is visible in recover mode but when i open that folder , nothing was there ... so my phone is root or not and i checked through root checker is showing phone is rooted
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
How could you have root if you weren't able to find and install the SuperSU zip? If you didn't install the SuperSU zip you don't have root, you can't have it. What version of TWRP do you have installed?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmca90:
i have supersu app installed in my phone and i am able to grant privilege to es file explorer and TWRP recovery v2.8.7.2 for Nexus 6P this version i installed and i installed supersu via play store
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Why did you install an old version of TWRP? That's why TWRP is showing 0mb in your internal storage. You need to update to the latest version (3.0.0-1). What version of SuperSU do you have installed?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmca90:
supersu Free v2.65

okay i want to root it right so tell what to do
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
That version is fine, you have root. Just make sure your update TWRP to the latest version or it won't be able to access your internal storage.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmca90:
i have installed the twrp app from play store and now its updating the recover to 3.0.0.1 i hope thats fine and after updating to do you want me to installed the supersu.zip from recovery

Don't use the TWRP app, it's known to cause problems, flash TWRP with fastboot next time. Everything you need is in my guide:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

It's up to you whether you install the SuperSU zoo in recovery but it's unnecessary because the version you currently have should be fine.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dengseng:
hey, I am not sure what exactly I did but during fastboot flash I accidentally did a command line that goes "fastboot flash bot boot.img".

I'm pretty sure after creating the bot partition it wouldn't affect anything because the partition isn't used in any scripts. However, I would like to know how to remove the partition because I tried "fastboot erase bot" and cmd says permission denied or some sorts.

Also, another problem came up after I have done multiple attempts to fix this and a camera problem (which I eventually fixed using original boot.img and vendor.img followed by a systemless root). My notifications bar is no longer showing any notification although my notification log clearly shows the notifications after hearing the notification sounds. Also, the quick access cannot be dragged down. Did I mess up the phone too much and now I have to wipe everything and start fresh? I hope I don't have to.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
There should be nothing to fix, there is no boy partition ago so nothing was flashed. Did you flash anything else with fastboot?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dengseng:
just back and forth between the image files of MMB29Q and MHC19I, when I first done the backward flash of the February images I saw this on boot

"com.quicinc.cne.CNEservice stopped working"

not sure what that was maybe it's affecting the notifications/quick access bar
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You haven't wipewipe data, that's causing a conflict, boot into TWRP and wipe data, then flash whatever factory images you want.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dengseng:
oh thanks, I'll remember to do that, but won't it remove installed apps too?

How can you tell which vendor image a ROM needs?

I jumped in head first earlier (day one of owning the phone and not enough reading) and flashed AICP. Upon boot i kept getting the warning that my vendor image is out of date and the Play Services kept closing. I gather the two where related so went for a root around and im now on Pure Nexus with the correct vendor image and all is hunky dory.

Even after looking at AICPs G+ page, and even ROMs here at xda, it doesnt seem to be mentioned unless you find it or are following the thread. Is there an obvious way to spot it?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It can be difficult because some developers don't bother to include this information in the OP of their thread. Sometimes you just need to guess, based on the build date of the ROM, and use that to determine which stock build it might be based on.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatezy:
Would it be possible to store a couple of vendor images on the phone and flash back and fourth till i get the right one? Or can you not flash to an older image?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can do that. Usually you'll just get the "your vendor is outdated..." message when it boots up. But, I believe there are times when the phone won't boot too so you'd want to make a nandroid backup first just in case. Usually though, anything released at the moment will require the latest (MHC19I) vendor.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatezy:
Cheers, good info to know.

Just a final question then. Would an outdated vendor image cause Play Service problems? Or was it just a potentially borked download/flash?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
I honestly don't know, sorry.

I bought my Nexus 6p about a month ago and it is on build MMB29P still. I have not received an ota update yet. Do I need to just manually flash or will it eventually come. Every time I check for updates it makes it seem like it has been checking even when I don't ask it to. So I'm just wondering if this is normal or if other people are having similar issues. I'm on Verizon. I would prefer not to manually flash so I don't lose all my stuff.

You can adb sideload the next OTA with the stock recovery without losing any data.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrueDeception:
Where can I find directions to do that
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Go to my guide and follow the instructions to install adb/fastboot via the Android SDK on your PC.

Go to Settings/Developer Options on your phone and enable the "usb debugging" option. If you can't see Developer Options in your Settings menu, go into About Phone and click on Build Number eight or so times, this will unlock Developer Options.

On your PC navigate to your fastboot folder, this is where fastboot.exe is located on your PC. If you installed the Android SDK at C:\Android then your fastboot folder should be at C:\Android\platform-tools. Once in the folder hold shift and right-click your mouse, select "open command prompt here". Issue the following command:

adb devices

You should receive a message on your phone asking if you want to allow adb access from this PC, select yes. This is just to make sure you have adb access later when you actually want to sideload the update.

Download the appropriate OTA zip from my index and place it in your fastboot folder. Rename it to "ota.zip".

Turn your phone off then press and hold power + volume down to boot into the bootloader, use the volume buttons to scroll the options and use the power button to select recovery mode.

Wait for the phone to boot into the stock recovery, it should be the little Bugdroid guy with an exclamation mark or something like that. Hold power and tap volume up to get into the recovery menu. Use the volume buttons to scroll and the power button (you might need to hold it) to select "apply update from adb".

On your PC navigate to your fastboot folder, hold shift and right-click your mouse, select "open command prompt here". Issue the following command:

adb sideload ota.zip

Let it do its work. It'll have to copy the update and then apply it, wait for the operation to complete, it'll tell you once it's finished. When it's all done you can reboot your phone, the first boot might take a while.
