On my OPO, I had a custom rom that allowed me to install nightly updates, without having to dirty flash the whole image to keep my data and root status.

Are there any decent options for the 6p that allow me to do that?

No, you don't need root to flash a custom ROM.

So I haven't done this root thing since my s3. Been awhile! I want to be able to use Android pay so it seems I need systemless root. And seems most main roms use that and allow Android pay. Hopefully I'm correct in all of this so far. Is my best to unlock, root, and install twrp via the wugfresh kit? Or I feel I read somewhere that I just need to unlock and install twrp, and than once I flash a rom that is prerooted, my phone will be rooted after flashing. Any help? It's been a long several years. Thanks.

Okay, so I'm considering buying this phone (it's a toss-up between the 6p and the Moto X Pure Edition). Really, the most important thing to me is tethering. I have Sprint, and while I don't tether all the time, I absolutely have to do it on occasion.

Is it a simple process to enable tethering on this phone? On Lollipop, you could usually root and edit the build.prop on just about any phone to enable tethering. Is this the same for Marshmallow?

Thanks!

Hi, i'm not sure if this has been asked before, I tried searching with couldn't find anything. So I'm trying to unlock the multi-window feature on my n6p but am having trouble editing the build.prop file, /system just doesn't want to go rw. I tried using es file explorer to change the permissions to rw but no luck, it keeps going back to read-only. Also tried using adb but when I ran abd root command it gave me an error saying adbd cannot run root in production builds. I am running rooted with the stock 6.0.1 ROM and stock kernel.

Home Screen changed

I have added several home screens to my Nexus 6P tonight when setting it up. Somewhere along the line the "home" button now points to a different screen than it is meant to. My layout is from left to right:

Secondary screen (incorrectly now home screen) > Real home screen (not recognised) > Secondary screen > Secondary screen.

Is there a way I can set it back so the home screen goes to the screen second from the left rather than the far left hand screen?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.DL:
I'm a note 5 owner, I like it , but definitely I hate touchwiz, it's just keep making the powerful device slower than the reality.

The note 5 hardware is definitely better than the nexus 6P, but -and there is always but- the software experience of the Nexus 6P -Pure android M in general- , just takes my breath.

In my country , the Note 5 is generally cheaper than the 6P, and in order to get 6P, I had to sell the Note 5 and pay additional ~150$ so that I can afford one.

So here I am going back to the original question, Is it worthy to sell the Note 5 -with better hardware- and pay ~150$ in order to get the 6P -with better software-?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaftamle:
I used to use go SMS pros built in function. However after leaving that app I had to find something else to take its place. I came across this app which is made by the company Carbonite, which is known for its security type products. It works great. Has a free version, an ad free version that cost money and a free plugin to enable automatic backups to Google Drive and Dropbox. It backs up SMS, MMS and also has the ability to backup emojis. You guys schedule backups and the ability to lock the app even though that feature is not extremely secure. Definitely check it out, link is below.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I used Go SMS for a while and sadly moved away as well, so what I do is use Titanium Backup.

From the app:

*Menu

> Special backup / restore

* Backup data to XML > Messages [SMS / MMS]

Name it if you wish and done, then do the same, but hit restore when you wish.

The only thing with it is: that it backs it up as a snapshot, meaning if you backed up yesterday and today, and restored yesterday, your inbox is that of yesterday; it doesn't insert the messages based on time stamp, like other services.

Small caveat, but I like minimalism, and use the least amount of apps I can.

Hey guys quick question,

I'm on stock with bootloader unlocked, twrp, systemless root and elementalx kernel. Recently my phone has been freezing very frequently, I tried the elementalx kernel tweaks (ghostpepper/etc.) and afterward phone's performance still has been poor even after wiping cache. I don't know if it's just the amount of rooted apps I have on the phone or what, but I know that I have lost smoothness. My double tap power button doesn't launch camera anymore either. At this point i'm ready to just start over and maybe try xposed with root.

Anyways my question is, am I able to just use factory reset and go back to normal stock w/o a kernel? Or would I still have the kernel? What about root? Twrp? Should I factory reset from twrp or the system settings? Thanks in advance.
