Messenger app can't access Photos

My Messenger (the app called Messenger, not Hangouts) can't find photos/videos on my Google Photos account. It recognizes that I'm signed in and can find local photos, just not online stored ones. I can send them from the Photos app, but it's very inconvenient. I can access online photos in OneDrive, but I really dislike the UI and use Photos alot more. Any ideas? I've reinstalled both apps, and there are no other gallery apps on my system (Chroma, Franco kernel). Any idea how to fix? Latest updates for both apps did not fix.

OK, I'm pretty confused about the encrypted lingo. I have seen 3 things listed on different ROM threads. I don't understand what the differences are.

1)Force Encrypted

2)Encrypted

3)Decrypted

I thought 1 and 2 were the same. I also didnt think 3 was possible. Is there a way to re encrypt a decrypted rom? Most important, which options enables the factory reset protection?

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Description is definitely possible, you need to use a kernel that doesn't force encryption though, or a ROM that has that feature included in its kernel. There's a catch though, in order to decrypt you need to format your userdata. So you'd backup your data, then flash the ROM/kernel, boot into the bootloader, and format your userdata:

fastboot format userdata

Then you can boot the device and you'll be decrypted.

Points 1 & 2 have the same end result: encryption. The only difference is whether the user chooses to encrypt or whether the kernel forces it. A ROM isn't encrypted as such, it's your data that's encrypted. You can encrypt by going to Settings/Security/Encryption and following the prompts.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pa.pn2:
im on twisted rom.any chance to turn decryption off afterwards?what do i have to do for that?

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea; Just as stated above, you either need to not use an enforcing kernel or if you enabled it - which it seems like the former.

Backup your personal data, as it'll obviously be formatted.

MMB29P --> MMB29Q update on Nexus6P unlocked/rooted

All,

Smartphone newbie here – I recently unlocked my nexus6p and rooted it via Heisenberg’s guide(s) and now I keep getting the download and popups for google wanting to update the ”system update” for February 2016 security updates.

I am able to download it but when I try to let the phone reboot and install it does not work.

It keeps re-downloading it and attempting re-install.

I thought this was occurring because my device is rooted and unlocked so I attempted to download the below to update manually with TWRP (which is my bootloader of choice)

MMB29P --> MMB29Q

•	Official:packa...rom-MMB29P.zip

•	Mirror:

•	MD5: 0b19171767d101cd683f8df4a63f3b36

But when I downloaded the *.zip from above placed it on my phone and tried to use the “install” method on TWRP I get the attached messages in screenshot … please help me out – I’d like to gain the ability to perform my updates manually with TWRP when my phone notifies me their available….

Package expects build fingerprints of google/angler/angeler:6.0.1/MMB29P/2473553:user/release-keys or google/angler/angeler:6.0.1/MMB29Q/2480792:user/release keys: this device has Huawei/omni_angler/angler:6.0/MRA58K/dees_troy11061016:eng/test-keys.

Updating partition details...

... done

I think I may of downloaded the wrong file – I am assuming its possible to manually install the updates without having to reflash and lose all my current config, I just want to implement the new updates manually since I do not believe I can do so now that ive rooted/unlocked???

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojorisin7178:
I just ordered my 6p. Yay I got a few questions

So I am new to the nexus line. I have always had Samsung. I stopped buying the newest phone aftermy current device (note 2) so this is exiting for me.

My first question: I was reading about rooting this phone. I don't have a PC anymore. So is it possible to root without? I rooted my galaxy tablet with an app from the play store then installed twrp can I use the same method or does the bootloader need to be unlocked?

Next question: does rooting the phone stop ota updates from Google? Not that it matters I'm still going to root but I was just wondering.

Number 3: any recommendations for cases and screen protectors? I want the best I work in a fish market and my phone needs to be protected.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Fairly certain you need a modified boot.img to use SuperSU 2.52. Otherwise, bootloop.

With modified boot.img, you should be able to get system root with SuperSU 2.6x. I have system root with SuperSU 2.66 on Chroma rom. SuperSU 2.6x is not only for systemless. It just depends on how you want to go about achieving system root.

Possibly. I have Comcast with multiple set top boxes. Something with that interferes with doze on my 5X if I leave my wifi on overnight. I had to just accept that I need to turn my wifi off at night. You may want others opinions on this.

1) No, from what I have seen. Only way to root is with a computer as you need fastboot to boot TWRP then flash SuperSU.

2) No, you will receive OTA prompts even if you have root. They may not install depending on whether you have modified /system or installed TWRP.

3)I do not own a Nexus 6P, but take a look in the 6P Accessories section

Good call! I noticed that bluetooth was keeping the device awake. I have a Huawei Watch, and I noticed it wasn't letting the phone go into deep sleep as long as it was connected.

I've searched around and it seems like a fairly common thing to have bluetooth keep the phone awake when it's connected to Android Wear devices.

Encryption only affects the userdata partition. Apparently you get a slight performance gain on paper if you decrypt, but in real life usage I honestly can't tell the difference. The only real security risk is obviously that if you're decrypted your data isn't protected.

Bootloader, Qfuse and Custom ROMs

Hi,

I've got my Nexus 6P 64GB now 2 weeks, but I am missing some things, like: double tap 2 wake, changing animations and most important permissions of which app can do what. Therefore I would like to install CyanogenMod, but I've got a few problems: If I unlock my Bootloader QFuse gets tripped/wiped/changed, is this bad and what does it influence? And if disabled/wiped/whatever does that mean for my warranty (even if the Bootloader is re-locked and the phone is flashed back to stock)?

And I am used to flashing Custom ROMs on different phones (HTC/Samsung/Sony/OnePlus), but apparently it is needed to flash a vendor.img (from Googles Images for the 6P) when install a ROM? And what is it exactly?

And if so, when do I do so?

My steps would be;

1. Unlock the Bootloader

2. Flash TWRP

3. Backup & Install CM & the Gapps

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Sure is. You can follow this excellent guide to all things 6P by Heisenberg. The main difference for OSX is to add this prefix ./ to all commands. I outlined my steps right here.

Here's a MBP thread if you would like alternative suggestions.

Ignore the word "QFuse" and enjoy life. Does not matter on this device. You can get a warranty replacement if you are bootloader unlocked.

Vendor partition contains proprietary files for the phone: bluetooth, camera, things of that nature. It was formerly included in the /system partition. Here is some info on vendor partition from former Android team member. If you intend to update your rom monthly, install the vendor file for that month's OTA when flashing that month's new rom update.

If you modify the Vendor partition with something like Layes, flash the stock vendor before moving onto another rom. If not, the Layers theme will remain in place.

Backup your EFS partition

in TWRP!

since there is no SD card, what all will i lose if i wipe data for new rom? what about recoveries etc? is there a (safe) seperate partition like that where i could keep my rom n supersu etc files? could someone plz show me how to find those partitions if there are
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
"INTERNAL DATA" is stored in the SDCARD folder in your device. It mimics an EXT Sdcard. The only way to wipe THAT is to wipe INTERNAL DATA. Wiping DATA wipes anything NOT saved to the SDCARD folder (this is where TWRP backups are kept, your DCIM-photos, MUSIC, downloads, etc...)

For flashing purposes, I made a folder "NEW ROOT" in the sdcard folder, and put all my flashing files there. You'll need a file explorer lie ES File Explorer, or Rom Manager's file explorer to access you root tree.

in file explorer: sdcard > NEW ROOT
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord. Tech:
thanks man, that cleared it up :) also, normally with wipes in flashing INTERNAL by default is not wiped right? or do i need to deselect it somehwere everytime before clean flashing?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Az Biker:
For normal CLEAN flash, check dalvik, system, cache, data. For a DIRTY flash (only over same updated cust rom) only check dalvik, cache. If you choose DIRTY, which many users do for convenience sake, don't report any bugs you encounter until you perform a CLEAN flash.

If you select INTERNAL, that wipes your sdcard where all your personal files are kept.
