But there is no clean flash requirement between my version and the latest no?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
It's not required, but dirty flashing is always a gamble. Example: I dirty flashed the update this afternoon and afterwards Gboard kept crashing. I tried every trick in the book to fix it, but in the end the only thing that cured it was a clean install.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
People have posted they have dirty flashed from one build to another fine. You haven't flashed one in three months, so who knows what will happen.

Back up and try it

I confirm. When the firmware is dirty, the GBoard settings do not work. Need a clean installation.

Pure Nexus kernel supports F2FS?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] burningcreation:
Yes. I am using F2FS and the franco kernel with the latest PN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Daeveren:
I have just dirty flashed the new version (formatted cache, dalvik and system too) and now I get a "system UI has crashed" everytime Android loads up and can't do anything, the error keeps showing up and nothing else shows up on the screen (no nav bar). Flashed again (after deleting cache/system/dalvik) and same thing :(

Now I'm trying to revert to the 2-3 months old build, see if it works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] twisted89:
Apologies if this has been covered but I couldn't see it anywhere in the OP.

Recently flashed latest release (clean wipe before hand) and now I'm having issues with my headphones. 90% of the volume/sound only comes through the right headphone, it seems like some sort of balance issue but I couldn't find anywhere under android settings to adjust this.

Does anyone have a solution for this? It's makes trying to watch anything on my phone very difficult.

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] Nice Rom, very impressed.

Just wondering if anyone know a way to get the menu button on the navbar permanently
[Nexus 6P Android Development] burningcreation:
What menu button?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
It has not in the past iterations. Not sure if this is one of the upstream features added as it doesn't say in the changelog that it now supports F2FS. If not you will need a kernel that does like Flash or EX kernels.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] devbar:
Question - just completed a fresh install. What is the blank option, under "Google Services" when you are setting up the device. I can't provide a screenshot due to age of my online account.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yusuo:
Some roms have it, this one doesn't.

Basically I want the 3 dots on the navbar, that simulate menu being pressed
[Nexus 6P Android Development] burningcreation:
Thanks for that. I'll have to try some other roms. I've only ever used this one.

Apparently still the case, as dirty flashing over the June build with Franco results in perpetual bouncing balls. Flashing Franco resolved.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
As always, thanks so much for the awesome work!

I found a bug that I wanted to report. I wanted to report an issue with the way the Google Contacts app package is named now that it's a system package and you went back to the Google variants instead of the AOSP variant.

Currently, it's named "com.android.contacts". There is nothing inherently wrong with this, but it causes 2 consequential errors:

1. The app is not recognized by the Play Store on subsequent Contact app updates.

2. The app cannot be themed by most Substratum themes because they are expecting the package name "com.google.android.contacts". This leads to the app being themed wrong, halfway, or even not at all. Even Substratum themes which have an entry for "com.android.contacts" are expecting the AOSP variant.

I think the fix for this is to change the system package name to "com.google.android.contacts", like the dialer, which is "com.google.android.dialer".

Let me know what you think, or if I'm misunderstanding this all. Thanks as always for everything you do for us!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Must be something on your end. It's named properly and covered by theme perfectly here.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
Thanks for the response. What version is your Contacts app and what theme are you running?

If you use the Contacts app the ROM comes with (1.4.x), it does theme correctly, because the app was really nothing but a copy of the AOSP version ported over to the Play Store. Once you upgrade it to 2.0.10, it messes up.

I tried this on a brand new clean install as well, and I had the same problem. I also tried multiple themes, and same problem.

Edit: just saw your updates. Very odd; your package is named properly, where mine isn't!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
I am running Sprite by DJ. Have you installed the theme ready Gapps by Team Black Out?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
Negative; I'm running the paid variant of the Swift Black theme from the Play Store. I also tried S.i.X Theme, J Dark Ice Theme, and Default Dark Theme. Granted, some of those haven't been updated in a while, but Swift Black was updated just yesterday and already includes the most recent updates for all the Google variant apps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Try installing the theme ready zip found in the TBO app. It will get you fixed up. Installing it is just second nature to me and I didn't even think of it in my first post. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
Roger, I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the assist!

I think it would still be great if Pure Nexus were to completely exclude any/all Google Apps like it originally was and then just allow us to install them directly from the Play Store. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] metallicant:
Got it up and running. I wasn't flashing the vendor.img to the vendor partition. Now works like a charm... Thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
It wouldn't matter. If you install some of the Gapps from the play store they aren't going to theme properly. Play store, You Tube, Hangouts, Phone, Contacts, G+, and a few others need the theme ready. Just search around the TBO app and grab what you need.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drewski_1:
YMMV. no issues with GBoard settings & dirty flash for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fz798:
Concur, I've never had a problem with GBoard settings after a dirty flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] frov:
You could consider installing another launcher, like nova launcher.

Copy the apk to sdcard, internal storage, and use Settings --> Storage --> Browse to install it and make it the default launcher in Settings --> Apps --> Settings --> Launcher

This 'browse' trick via Settings saved me before when I also ran into Launcher issues before.

Then again, why is it crashing...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Daeveren:
I already use Nova since like 7 years. Problem was that error showed up the second Android started and could not do anything at all. I've tried installing the march version of Pure Nexus (with the appropriate vendor image, ofcourse), reinstalled july version, tried with april version and still no luck - was either this system UI has crashed error, either the device would act like it's a clean install (which it wasn't). Had to do a clean install. Now it works flawless, just that I didn't had recent backups for some apps.

Gmail Exchange Server

Has anyone tried connecting to an exchange server? When going to Settings -> Accounts -> Add -> Exchange I cannot get it to connect no matter what settings I enter in. What am I missing here? I searched the thread but don't see anyone mention having this issue. Validating with coworkers my settings are correct. My work has a policy in place that enforces certain phone security measures if that could be what's breaking it? It just sits and spins on validating server settings then eventually kicks me back saying it could not connect (takes a very long time).

Turns out I just needed to reboot my phone a few more times. No idea what was going on with it but after reboot when I did the same thing my menu options were different and everything worked perfectly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpr69:
Not sure if anyone else has seen this, I was on 6/17 release, and using the Substratum Flux White theme, and there is an issue with the battery icon in QS tiles not getting themed properly. The Flux White developer says it is because the ROM doesn't have the proper commits from Substratum. I accepted this, and with the 7/17 release of PN, the changelog says 'update all substratum commits and exposures', so I assumed that would fix it, yet the battery icon is still not themed. Does anyone see the same issue with PN, or should I go back to the theme developer to find out if it isn't really an issue with the theme?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
You'll probably find it's the theme. If Beans says it's updated to the latest, you can be sure that it is.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpr69:
That was what I was thinking, but I've tried a few different themes, and they all exhibit the same issue, so there may be some validity there. I'm going to try and track down the specific commit(s) that are needed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sonysingh1983:
My first boot on new update was 7-8 minutes. I've never had it take that long.... dirty flash btw

[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajscott:
Used to have an issue with the phone ignoring stay awake commands from Waze and Google Maps. Dirty flash from 6/12 to 7/25 edition fixed it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:

Does anyone have viper for android working on the new build? I had it working on the last build until I updated stupid Magisk and it broke it. I've tried installing viper many times since in the June and now July build. Tried reverting to the old version of stupid Magisk. Tried several different versions of viper as well that aren't modules for stupid Magisk. The only thing worse than extended ball dancing ? is having and losing viper.?Any help is appreciated. Pm would be wonderful so I don't hijack the thread any further.

Quick question. Trying to start fresh and restore a backup from my other Nexus 6P (Setting up the RMA Refurb) and when I choose my 2 day old backup, the screen goes blanks with the bottom back arrow only. Tapping the arrow does nothing but vibrate the phone and I can turn screen on/off and hold for Power Off and Restart, but can't seem to get it to do anything else at that point. Wiped everything in reflashed PN a few times but doesn't seem to change anything. Anyone else run into this restoring after a fresh flash?

Hey guys,

I'm having micro freezes while using the phone like switching between apps or just swiping down the notification tray.

I've dirty flashed the latest release and ElementalX kernel but the random freezes started a couple of days before that. It might be app-related but I haven't installed anything new recently. I'm kinda suspecting the latest Substratum update.

Any idea? Anyone experiencing the same?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] granduke:
I am still on the April release as the updates have been too minor for me. However I am wondering about the "substratum commits" in the current changelog.

Is this something substantial as I do have problems creating my overlays?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
You need the "other" dialer that was removed from this release.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Works for me, I'm using the Google dialer and disabled the AOSP one in the settings.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] EVOSerb:
Go to settings and make it default dialer.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubba:
Thanks guys. This got me a start. It's now working on the phone speaker but not on Bluetooth (which is what I really care about). I'll search the appropriate thread and see if I can find an answer unless either of you know a fix. Thanks again.

The included, baked-in Pure Nexus kernel does not support F2FS to my knowledge. You have to flash a F2FS-compatible kernel. EX, Franco, and my personal favorite Flash Kernel all support F2FS.

Clean flash. I know it's probably not what you want to hear but it works well :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Yeah, I'm hoping I can avoid clean flashing... -_-

The freezes just started out of nowhere though. And I've been dirty flashing since April or May.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
EX does not support F2FS. I wish it did, but it doesn't.

One that no one seems to mention when listing F2FS kernels is Electron. It is my favorite F2FS compatible kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] IM0001:
Went back 3 Gapps versions on 7/25 rom, same issue. Went back to the 6/10 rom and Gapps and same issue. Cannot restore from any of my main past device in the list, they all go to a black screen. Other devices that are much older do load and ask if I want to restore from them, but their data is useless to me on this device.

What the heck happened that broke setup restore this bad?

*edit* Ok tried OpenGapps Stock (which has a keyboard) and the restore was broke with that too. So it doesn't appear to be a gaaps issue as much as a rom issue at this point..

I thought it might be something related to the March rom that had the Gapps built into the rom, but when trying to restore a backup from my U11 it does the same thing so that throws out that idea.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Philosophre:
Excellent. I did notice that the icon was removed, but I forgot that I want the light blue phone icon over the dark blue one.

No issues here. Turning on/off auto brightness doesn't have any effect? The brightness slider (both in quick settings and in settings>display>brightness level) doesn't work?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] IM0001:
Found a workaround for the inability to restore during device setup. I found this about bmgr and was able to kick off a restore with it using adb shell. So at least there seems to be a working workaround at least.

Just setup the device as new completely (all the other things you want like fingerprint/pass/pin etc, login, then once you are done enable ADB on the phone and then run from your comp, "ADB Shell", "bmgr list sets", then type in "bmgr restore *number next to the device restore in the list*" and it should kick off just as if you picked it from the list in Device Setup. Unfortunately it restores everything so you can't pick and choose, but its better than nothing.

Dirty flashing is flashing a ROM without wiping anything beforehand, crossing your fingers, and hoping nothing goes wrong. Only to be done with the ROM you are on. Dirty flashing between two different ROMs will result in you having a very bad day. IMNSHO it is a bad habit to get into.

Edit - It is acceptable to dirty flash the identical version of the ROM you are on to reset something i. e. your kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Moses2402:
But what is the steps of dirty flash, I can't figure it out from the instructions
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Moses2402:
I don't ask about what is the meaning of dirty flash, I want to know about how to install that rom. Like what should I do first? Install pure nexus and then?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
If you are NOT currently on PureNexus then dirty flashing is not an option - Nope, no way, no how, you will break things. You MUST clean flash. If you are CURRENTLY on PN then the steps for a dirty flash are 1) download the ROM 2) reboot to TWRP and flash the ROM 3) reboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
So you mean this section that explains exactly what path to take?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Apparently that's the same conclusion someone else online came to.

I haven't tried Lineage myself, but other ROMs (not going to name them all) have it working.

This is mostly an issue because the app Battery Charge Limit isn't able to automatically reset the battery stats with

su -c dumpsys batterystats --reset

like it's supposed to.

After going way further down the rabbit hole than I should have, I can conclude one of two things, either:

Hi guys. I just dirty flashed the 7-25 update + vendor image over the 6-12 versions. On reboot I had no keyboard. Input settings showed gboard but it couldn't be selected. I had voice input only. Couldn't do any good restoring a keyboard from titanium backup either. Play store was also hopeless w/no keyboard. Had to restore my 6-12 PN backup. Anyone else seen this? Should I try flashing gapps? I didn't do this for the 6-12 update which went off without a hiccup. Thanks.
