[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wujuyamakin:
This unremovable search bar was the straw that made me switch launchers.

After checking out several including Nova, I settled on the Asus XenUI launcher, which on a side note has a slightly higher rating than Nova as of this posting. It allows some features that are in the paid version of Nova such as gestures though I haven't tried the paid Nova. It also allows you to customize how folders look, which is awesome as I hate the Apple-look of folders (miniaturized icons) many launchers use.

I also disable Google Now so the default launcher is basically a disabling of the entire left side of the homescreen. Now I just need to find something that allows some swipe-from-bottom functionality like on the iPhone and some other OEMs' launchers.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cardusan:
Nova is great but what you will notice is inflated usage of battery by Google services if you run NOVA launcher at all times.

I have tested this scenario on OnePlus One, Moto X Pure Edition 2015 and now on Nexus 6p.

It runs great on it, but I did notice my battery having shorter span ofnuse on one charge then while on Nova.

I do have paid version so that is not the culprit... At this moment I use nova every 3-4 weeks for only couple of days to get rid of google search bar and avoid screen burn-in... Other than that Nova is great...

Hi People,

This is my first text so be nice! I have tried searching the forums but could not find any other note of this issue.

I have a phantom text in my outbox, and cannot find a way of deleting it, have tried clearing my account but that doesn't seem to work!

Anyone got any ideas, have just got the phone how I like it and really don't want to do a hard reset, I have attached screen shots to show the problem better!

Please help! :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naprzod:
Hi guys, thanks for enter here to help.

I have a problem with mi Nexus 5, the screen is broken and im trying to sell it cheap but also there is another problem, Sometimes, maybe twice a day, maybe one time per 2 weeks i take the phone from my pocket and it says on the notification bar No sim card inserted, and i have no signal.

I have tried dissamble it and assembly it again (I have done it before) doesnt work.

I checked if the sim tray was okey, it was.

I flashed the lastest lollipop factory image wiping ALL, does not work, and with marshmallow either.

I also bought a new sim and it still the same.

Do you have any solution or any idea why is this happening?

The disconnections does not follow a pattern or I am unable to see it

Thanks for your answers in advance!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unbesorgt:
So I finally got Marshmallow running on my N6 by sideloading the OTA with WugFresh (great utility btw). Runs great so far.

Then I noticed there's now an automated tool that can be used to disable full-disk encryption very easily and keep it disabled in future updates. The tool is called FED-Patcher. Hopefully it will eventually be incorporated into WugFresh.

Anyway, my question is to N6 users who have run both encrypted and unencrypted on Marshmallow: Is the difference noticeable enough to be worth the hassle? By hassle I mean two things: I would have to unlock the bootloader which means wiping data, and keep it unlocked going forward which means no Android Pay.

I have read that encryption was a big performance killer in the early days of the N6, but I've also read that subsequent updates have somewhat corrected it. I just bought mine in June so I've never used an N6 on anything earlier than 5.1.1.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Othoric:
To keep it short and sweet, no, there is really no reason in my opinion to disable encryption anymore. Since 5.1, disabling encryption isn't worth the trouble.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unbesorgt:
Thanks, that's pretty much what I expected but wanted to hear it from someone who had seen the difference firsthand.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
And if you want it in stereo... :)

I upgraded my Lollipop unencrypted device to Marshmallow and was annoyed to see that it had decided to encrypt itself, despite the fact that I'd used Chainfire's no-encrypt kernel and 2.52 Supersu - my own fault, lack of knowledge of how to do the job right... duh...

But over the past few weeks I've seen no difference whatsoever, in terms of either performance or battery life. Othoric has it absolutely right - it's not worth the trouble or risk. Perhaps performance monitoring tools can see the difference, but I certainly can't.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It's your own choice. Performance-wise, if you notice any performance or battery increase unencrypted, it would.be negligible.

Personally I disable it because I don't like encryption, for my own reasons.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
Wugfresh does have the ability to unencrypt the N6. I do it because I can, and even if the speed increase is negligible, I want every millisecond of extra speed I can get.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
What people fail to recognise is that decrypting files on the fly has cpu overhead too. So speed, battery and heat all play a (no matter how) small part.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
Yup. While it may only be a small difference, I want every miniscule advantage I can get. Probably because I'm OCD about things like that.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jk8260:
IMHO

- I find it snappier unencrypted and boots faster, enough so that when a ROM I tried forced encryption on me and I decided 'oh well I will stop fighting and stay encrypted' within two days I took the time to unencrypt again.

- I did not think it was a big hassle, took me under an hour.

- I however was able to stay unencrypted during my transition to MM so I cannot compare it to being encrypted under MM, but it is still software encryption and takes cpu, battery, fractions of seconds so the ocd in me says NO.

- If Apple phones force this I do not want it, having a choice is why I have a Nexus.

My suggestion is, you have a Nexus if you like to play with your phone try it re-encryption will always be a reboot away.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceahorse:
Hello guys. I am semi tech able, but by no means a techie. I came here because i have a TF101 and i never use it because ASUS got lazy on it. None of the apps i use function on it anymore.

i wanted to deal with this problem. I read quite a few posts about rooting and installing ROMS. They were a bit difficult for me to follow as they often assume i know steps, until i found PERI V0.42 --TwrpyIndri . I attempted to use this and found that it couldn't detect my TF101, I suspect it is because i am running win 10. Device manager says that windows considers my drives up to date. "Asus Transformer ADB Interface"

I don't really care if the ROM is flashed and i get lollipop or not. I just want my apps to work.

I would use it mostly for the following 3.

Run Videos - MXplayer is what i usually use. It seems fine as it is.

Pleco - with reader add on.

Skritter ( i would prefer to use the site than the app, but now it says i need flash and my browser doesn't work.

It would also be nice to wipe all the bloats.

CHris.,
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barkeater:
Likely the reason the computer is not detecting your TF101 correctly is that you are not in APX mode. To root the TF101, you will need to follow the directions found here http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-development/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html. To install the naked drivers on Windows 10, you will need to disable drivers signature first. Google disable drivers signature in windows 10 and you will find the procedure for doing so.

Wow does the custom ROM/root ever make a huge difference.. My TF101 is useful again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techyerik:
As a simple user for the TF101 as well I've found that a stock ROM is the best for battery life, as I use it for videos and the occasional reading. If the Google Store is preventing you from getting new apps because of the "your device is not compatible error "then I've found a custom lollipop ROM is a great fix for it. Root really doesn't matter unless you plan on using high admin apps and features.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ceahorse:
I suppose you re right. the root is quite useless for me now. I just figured i needed to root it before i could install a custom recovery/ROM.

This device doesn't ever travel with me. It stays on my classroom podium and i use it purely for video, reading, dictionary and flashcard review.

I am not the most apt as this sort of thing as gettign this far took me quite a while already. I would worry about wasting a few more days to convert to another ROM>

But thanks for the tips.

I Second the motion above me! ^^
[Nexus 5X Android Development] vomer:
I thought about this a while ago. Didn't go this route for 2 reasons:

1) CleanCore is meant to be a simplified version of stock android - it's ready to use out the box (removing play services limits users)

2) With each new version of android, it seems like removing core components like these causes more issues for users

Still, CleanCore is about 300MB leaner at any given time than the stock builds :good:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
Nice to see [MENTION=1363323]vomer[/MENTION] here! But I'd ask what advantages has CleanCore got? Ie, "lean" is probably "better" than "fat", but... Thanks.

I think you (V) addressed this above..?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gee one:
That sounds more like AOSP than stock android. Once google releases the binaries, you'll be able to build AOSP without any google parts.

I haven't flashed it yet, but I like the idea of cleanercore because I don't want all those google services on my phone. Plus they take to space twice-first in the system partition and then any updates are stored on the data partition.

Not sure what I am doing wrong, but flashing this via recovery leaves me stuck on the Google logo
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gerg004:
Need to flash everything in this order:

-> Flash Bootloader & Radio (as needed)

-> Flash CleanCore

-> Flash Modified Boot (named bullhead-xxxxxx-boot.zip)

-> Flash SuperSU or SuperSU Beta

-> Flash vendor.img (using fastboot)

Should work after that. Unfortunately you cannot simply flash the zip.

I flashed both Boatloader and Radio as step one. It says as needed, so idk 100% that it's needed. I just know I did it and the ROM has been working :) Hopefully this helps.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] vomer:
only need to flash the bootloads/radio if they are updated. Not needed every time ;)

I've also added vendor right in the flashable zip this time around - so I hope that simplifies things.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ViRb3:
Flashing vendor.img manually

after

SuperSU fixed the stuck at Google logo problem! You should probably remove it from the main ZIP again to save space.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] stu5797:
For us dumb people what exact command do you use to flash the vendor.IMG?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ViRb3:
fastboot flash vendor [B]vendor.img[/B]

where vendor.img is the name of your vendor image.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gerg004:
So, if I put my TiBu backups on my "SD Card" in Root Explorer, it should stick through a flash/wipe? Or is there anything else that need's to be done beforehand?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Mbrook:
So the vendor img is in the ROM zip correct? So I no longer need to flash it separately?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] vomer:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] vomer:
didn't work as I expected - still need to flash it separately
[Nexus 5X Android Development] scumfromohio:
I've tried flashing this rom a few times and i cant get it. I tried through twrp. I dunno what radio and boot im suppose to have for the first step which could be the problem i know my phones build is mda89e. And when i tried running the modified boot i was getting E: Could not find "META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' When i tried flashing through fastboot it just always ends in being stuck at the google logo or looping back to recovery. Sorry i'm coming from a htc one m8 not to familiar with having to fastboot anything accept recovery.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Alcolawl:
Yeah, I had the same problem too. The instructions don't state it but here's what you do:

Extract the boot.img from the bullhead-mdb08i-boot.zip -- I thought you had to flash this zip, but instead you flash the img file inside of it.

Flash CleanCore

Flash the boot.img you extracted from bullhead-mdb08i-boot.zip

Flash SuperSU (I flashed version BETA-2.52)

Then reboot into the bootloader with the phone connected to your computer and flash the vendor_MD-B08I.img via fastboot (It might be MD-B08M for this new version, not sure)

Boot to System

You'll see at the bottom right hand corner in TWRP, when your browsing for the files you need to flash, a button that says "Image". This button toggles between being able to see Zip files an Img files, so just make sure to hit that so you can view the vendor.img and the boot.img. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] scumfromohio:
Thanks man haha im glad im not the only one that was a little confused. I've rooted every device ive had since the eris haha and this one is a pain so far. If i can get it rooted again cause i flashed a stock img through skipsoft i'll know what to do!!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Alcolawl:
Ugh no way. This phone was much easier to root and whatnot compared to my HTC Evo Shift. What a nightmare. I think once development comes along a little bit it'll become much easier (less steps) to unlock the bootloader, root, flash recovery, etc. It was easy as breathing on the last N5.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] scumfromohio:
I never had the evo shift but i really think my problem is my fastboot skills aren't on point but im thinking the same thing with development it will get simplier.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] paOol:
so the first step needs to be done in fastboot?

then flash cleancore in TWRP, flash boot.img in TWRP, flash SuperSU in TWRP.

then fastboot vendor.img ?

I am doing adb sideload within twrp and maybe that is what is causing me problems? Getting the looping boot animation.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] stu5797:
Anyone great at making videos? That surely would be helpful
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Alcolawl:
I just extracted the boot.img from the ZIP file on my computer and transferred it to my phone (Step 1). Then rebooted to recovery and flashed CleanCore (Step 2).
[Nexus 5X Android Development] boomerxyz:
So is MDB08M the latest factory image? Does anyone know if Google provides the factory image dates for their images (I'm just assuming the last one listed under bullhead is the latest)? Does anyone know if Google provides a change log for their firmware images (which may answer the previous question)?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] lifehome:
So I have tested like days and hours, I'm going to be impatient...

But fortunately, I have figured out how to do for my 5X:

NOTICE: For the modified boot, MDB08I is fully compatible with MDB08M.

Notice 2: You should be warned if you didn't relock your bootloader, for my own use I didn't relock. But in case, you can do "fastboot oem lock" to lock your bootloader, but no guarantee if it breaks something or not.

Pre-requirements: Please download Android SDK(Standalone) for LATEST fastboot/adb, where included in the name of "Platform-Tools".

tl;dr: Flash all stock -> Flash TWRP -> (Recovery) Sideload CleanCore(See OP for image)

(If you choose to root) -> [Optional] Flash boot.img(systemless) -> (Recovery) Sideload SuperSU

-> Flash vendor.img(See OP for image)

1. First download the stock images from Google, using the LATEST version of fastboot to do "fastboot oem unlock" and run flash-all.

2. Download TWRP and do "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

3. After the recovery is done, use the arrow key to reboot into recovery, SLIDE THE ARROW for allowing modifications. Then goto "Advance" >> "ADB Sideload" and SLIDE THE ARROW again.

3. A) If you seeing RED TEXT in the log (above the ADB progress bar), repeat step 1-3, where this means you have a corrupted system partition/images installed, you need a clean status to perform the following tasks.

3. B) If you seeing NO RED TEXTs in the log, then using the LATEST version of adb to sideload the CleanCore ROM.

3. B1) If you see "NO PERMISSION" error, that means your adb/fastboot is outdated, please upgrade before performing further actions.

3. B2) If you succeeded to install CleanRom, you should see all white texts with something saying "You're now with CleanCore."

4. After flashing CleanCore, reboot to bootloader and flash the modified

SYSTEMLESS

boot.img, you can find in the second post from the link: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344

5. Finished flashing the boot.img, go to Recovery and sideload the SuperSU, I used BETA zip here as an example, you may choose other flavour if you like to, but FYI the SuperSU-BETA: http://xdaforums.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

6. Go back bootloader, flash the vendor.img along with CleanCore using "fastboot flash vendor vendor_xxxxxxx.img"

7. ??? ( In case you can't get it, reboot. )

8. Profit!

Please let me know if this works or not, I might able to help out a bit. ;)
