[Nexus 6P Android Development] Remen95:
So just going to give my review. I got my phone, and used it as stock for a few days. Then i unlocked the bootloader, rooted with systemless root, flashed the rom, and elemental kernel. For some reason, i have had no issues whatsoever. I have a custom dpi of 480. Android pay works, no camera issues. But due to all the issues everyone is having, im scared to update to 2.1.0. i am on the 2.0 update.

*i moved the Gmail app myself, and i did not fastboot vendor.img
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shawnten:
Out of curiosity why did you move the vendor file out for now
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
Is there a way to tell which vendor img I have installed? I'm on previous version with no camera issues. Flashing vendor from OP by using PC "fastboot flash vendor vendor.img" right? Then flash 11/8 ROM with TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vomer:
It's not so easy to build it into the rom flash procedure and it is still causing issues with some apps. Manual flash is the best option at the moment
[Nexus 6P Android Development] artsarts:
I restored to stock in latest 08M, redid twrp 2.8.7.2, flashed 2.0 two days ago, had ZERO issues with everything others are mentioning of force closes (on stock and elementalx kernel)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Yes you can now run my ROM and have it un-rooted, that way you can use android pay etc. Then if you need root, you can dirty flash the ROM again and have root! Win Win :D

To cut a long story short, vendor was moved from system/vendor to its own partition in root. I have two options in flashing it. Package_extract_dir - this works, but I need to learn how to create symblinks and metadata tags for it. 2nd option is to simply use a command package_extract_file and use the installer to extract vendor.img to the phone. Good option, but, I am still in the process of working out what partition it needs pushed too!

Yes, use something like root explorer and open the vendor folder in your phone. You will see a build.prop file. Open it and look for this line:

ro.vendor.build.fingerprint=google/angler/angler:6.0/MDB08M/2353240:user/release-keys - the bit highlighted in bold will tell you what you are currently running. If it does not match the ROM build, you can have issues
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
Thanks, your last build must have installed vendor properly, I'll just flash the new one (and I'll check vendor again after).

SU in V2.1

so I chose not to have SU in system like it was before in 2.0 and now SU doesn't show up anywhere. not in apps or settings. I wanted to be able to adjust user settings in it. any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
Yeah, I chose not to have su in system and it doesn't show up anywhere either (not even in settings/apps). But I appear to be routed. Everything else looks good, all layers stuck, vendor stuck on M.

Be nice to have current version show up in about phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
So you both are rooted, but didn't choose to select the second option to move it to the settings menu? Hmm odd, it should show up in the app drawer. I'll need to check up on that.

Try going into the apps section in settings menu, clear cache and data on superSU app and reboot. See if it comes back into the app drawer.

EDIT: On the next build, I'll give the option to root only. It will automaticly move the app into the settings menu. It looks like once it has been hidden from the app drawer it can't be undone!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
The update is an excellent incremental change...the only thing which I encountered, and something from which I couldn't reestablish, was the ability to install the viper4android driver (ie, I could not).

On Version 2.0.0 of this rom, viper4android works perfectly, as long as this version of Busy Box is installed...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox

The Stericson version runs just fine alongside of the aforementioned...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

After flashing 2.1.0, I couldn't get the viper4android driver to install, as it indicated that Busy Box wasn't installed...irrespective of how I had Busy Box set up, I couldn't get it to stick...I nuked all versions of Busy Box, reinstalled each and then both of them in a stepwise sequence, to no avail.

Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

I even tried reflashing su 2.52 and still no icon. I tried clearing su data but nothing happens. I forced closed and rebooted, nothing. But all apps still seem to have permissions. Very odd. I am on this Busybox if that matters: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.meefik.busybox

V4A working fine here.

Have you tried deleting "audio_effects.conf" out of /system/vendor/etc? Make sure kernel is set to permissive. I'm using: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zrk6uzcrxywzibl/LolliViPER.zip?dl=0
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Yes, all of the above, to no avail...as noted, on 2.0.0 of this rom, I have zero issues with viper4android...

Thanks for the linked version...I'll try it.

Another odd thing about supersu. It doesn't show up in Titanium at all system or user app. I am definitely getting root permissions though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] johnp357:
same here. viper works after reinstalling it. 2.1 appears to have removed it. reinstalled it and it works. SU does not appear. did all the above. even installed trial versions of SU and they all installed but app is not visible in apps section.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chubby65:
Well just flashed latest over 2.0.0 without flashing vendor

No issues so far

In fact no issues with 2.0.0 either

3Minit Battery updated for N6Pangler v2.1.0 w/ Center Clock - Test!!! - (Please Report back the results)

​

Go to Post #1 for 3Minit Battery. I did this for the Nexus 6 Shamu, implementation is the same. A user requested so I will share it, but we have a huge workload so I will do my best to keep up. I currently use the Note 5, just keeping the Nexus 6 Shamu going.

You have over 1100 Batteries on the Fly to Choose from without any restart required. They can be re sized as well. Read Post #1 for all the information. This was on Lollipop, but I have ported it to work on Marshmallow. It is working great

Download Links for 3Minit are here

[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
I was able to get su icon to show in app drawer. I created an activity shortcut for activity supersu. Opened su from it and selected an icon from settings. Now it's visible. My guess is the first icon setting (invisible) was somehow selected from the rom install.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] opz187:
so I flashed the paid mod. downloaded 3minit battery settings center clock and 3minit battery paid app but center clock remains unchanged.. would it be because I chose center clock while installing in aroma?

I'm running into the same thing with Thyrus's themed Google Dialer...it's in app manager but not in the app drawer, but a Nova shortcut fixed it up swiftly.

Perhaps there's a pattern.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
That can easily be done. I will probably start putting in something like N6Panglerm v2.1.0 in future releases

Yes I should be able to add that as a feature. At the minute, I am working on getting the base 100% stable first.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Still no luck with viper4android on the version 2.1.0 build...I may have to start with a clean install on the next iteration.

You guys are awesome, I really appreciate everyone's input...I've tried that...it's running just fine for me on version 2.0.0, just not when I upgrade to the latest build. This is clearly user error.

I'm going to clean and I'm certain it'll be fixed. For now I have a fully functional viper4android on this stable rom.

Thanks for your help. Actually I already checked that 5 year old page and i believe it 's unreliable nowadays...

The APN already configured seem OK to me, that's why I believe it' s rom related, but how to be sure?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] FuMMoD:
Only thing I can think of is that the audio config file was added back into system /vendor /etc. Originally you had to remove it to be able to use viper4android.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Not sure, my builds are stock builds, would need to know more information. Probably to do with your APN settings. You would need to check those with your service provider.

I'll add permissive mode in the future. I need a kernel with init.d support.

Installed 2.1 rom still having wifi not sleeping after phone off
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Do you have the issue in the stock rom? I have made no changes to the base ROM. You could try elemental kernel and see if you have the same issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pro4ever:
Had no issues on stock will try elemental see how that goes although stock kernal is fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Definitely an odd one. I have made no changes that would affect wifi. ROM is 100% stock, just you now have the option to select which apps you want, root and the mods. No changes as far as I can see that would affect wifi!

EDIT: Just checked my phone, when I turn on wifi then click the 3 dots and go to advanced, I can see Keep WI-FI on during sleep is set to always by default. I am assuming you have changed that to never?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pro4ever:
yes have changed it to never . installed elemental still same
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Did you select any of the mods during install eg centre clock?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pro4ever:
Only mod i installed was center clock

you think that could be causing it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Try dirty flash with out any mods. These mods had code changed in the SystemUI.apk. I would also suggest try with out rooting as well. Minor changes to the settings.apk. Cant think of what else it could be!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pro4ever:
Just doing a fresh install now see how it goes
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
I just tested on my phone. It definitely turns off. I can see it turning on when I wake the phone. Dont install any extra apps. Setup basic phone, see if it works, then install your apps and see if it still works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zosimov21:
Finally got my phone spent a few hours getting it setup just right. I have 0 problems with the ROM, TWRP, Vendor image, N6PanglerM, Elemental kernel. Also I'm on Fi so I chose that during the ROM aroma install. Thanks so far! If I get a d/l for OTA I'll grap the copy and see if it could be useful for updates.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pro4ever:
Foir some reason basic install with no apps installed did not work either so i used an app on play store which does the trick
[Nexus 6P Android Development] opz187:
so I have my security set up as fingerprint with pattern being my backup.. now in twrp I backed up all partitions, not the images bc, week you don't need too, but when I go to restore my backup of this ROM, at first boot it asks me for my fingerprint, which works, then pattern for first boot.. but the pattern I used for it does not work whatsoever, so I'm effectively locked out of my backup. anyone have any idea what's going on?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] playaz33:
So far so good.

Day 1 with this rom and it has been stable. Thank you for making this!

One thing I have noticed though is that my results on Geek Bench 3 are consistently lower than they were prior to flashing from stock to this. I have also tested my wife's Nexus 6p side-by-side (after restarting and clearing all apps out of memory of course) and her stock 6P was noticeably faster as well. I'm trying to figure out why. Maybe someone could help. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pafc66:
Hey im on the L build, rooted with recovery ect, can i just download this and install via recovery without any issues or do i need to go back to the M build?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
That is actually an issue in TWRP. It has been reported a few times. I have seen the issue as well, I hope they are able to resolve the issue

Just make sure your bootloader and radio are up to date and as long as you have TWRP, you should be good to go.

I never take too much notice of bench marks. I am not sure why my rom would be lower. It is completely stock rom with stock kernel. There would be no changes that affect bench marks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pafc66:
might be a dumb question. Im on the L build and want to flash this zip. where do i flash the vendor.img file? System, Bootloader, Boot ect? im a bit confused
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
I have the vendor file posted, for the radio and bootloader you could download the factory image and extract them: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pafc66:
does anyone have the radio or will it require downloading the whole tgz file and then flashing the specific file?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zosimov21:
Just published bug. You have to make a TWRP backup without security then set it backup when completed.

Great rom, been using 2.10 for around 2 days and haven't had any problems at all but 10 minutes ago I just had a random reboot. I haven't overclocked or made any major changes except switching to elemental kernel yesterday. Just thought I'd let you know.

BIG news on Xposed :D

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63758152&postcount=23

I have a really unique way of adding it in to my ROM! On my Shamu ROM I was able to offer it to users, so if they selected it during install, it was all pre-activated on first boot. Normally you would have to install, activate it then reboot. I found ways around that. I really hope Gravity Box gets updated for android M as well. If it does, I will offer xposed, with GB!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] playaz33:
It took me a while, but I think I figured it out. The phone seems to throttle a lot (slower than my Nexus 6 "shamu") when the phone gets warmer. I let it cool down with the screen off, and off the charger and it scored significantly higher on the benchmarks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jdub251:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] cammykool:
Cool. Good to know! There has to be a way to streamline this in the future. :b
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shawnten:
I sure hope so. What is a vendor file anyways. I have never heard of having to flash this separately
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
Yes I am working on trying to integrate the vendor.img file in the ROM. The problem is, Google moved the vendor folder from /system/vendor to its on root folder /vendor.

I currently have two options I am working on. I can extract the vendor image and install it that way. This works fine, but I need to learn how to create the symblinks and set_metadata tags. I dont know how to do this yet/

Second option is to use the rom to flash the vendor.img directly. This would cut out the need to create teh symblinks and metadata tags. Problem is I have yet to work out the mount point to flash the image to!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zamula:
Don't know if this is what you need, but the app DiskInfo lists vendor as mmcblk0p37.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen:
The command I was working on was:

package_extract_file("vendor.img", "/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/vendor");

This should work, but I cant get the rom to boot!

I'll try:

package_extract_file("vendor.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p37");

and see how I get on!

EDIT: Neither of these two commands work. Results in phone sitting at google screen and when I go back into twrp and try to mount the vendor partition it wont mount. I have to flash vendor image via fastboot to resolve.

This is an issue with aroma installer. It will happen once in a blue moon, just restart the installer and should be good to go. I tested every app during install and they all work.
