About lightflow, it has nothing to do with the ROM as its an app, why would you not ask about it in that light flow thread. That app has always been hit and miss for for me anyway..

Reboots: are you running the stock kernel and not xposed anything?

And bumping your question 3hrs after asking it the first time is a bit much dude, give it at least 24hrs....some of you need to learn patience.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] DudeThatsErin:
I figured no one would see it since it was already a page away from the last page... hence the bump.

I didn't know there was a lightflow thread. I'll go read it and then post.

ElementalX Kernel NO Xposed (even though my signature says otherwise, at one point I did have Xposed).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tu3218:
Are you using light flow simply for LED control? If so, this rom has led control built in.

Latest update of G Photos changed sth that is clashing with dark themes/layers, devs are trying to solve this, roll back to the previous version using apk mirror and uncheck the auto update option of the app in the store or just don't use any theme with it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Can confirm now

Just installed a new CMTE and it didn't work again,had to clean data and cache again to make google photos work again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] force70:
Yeah this thread moves so fast I know lol.

Try light manager, I don't need it on this ROM but it is more reliable and much easier to use than LF.

Did you get reboots on the stock kernel? I would suggest running stock and see, if no reboots then its something with the other kernel. If still having reboots than you will need to dig deeper.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
now it works again.

reflashing the vendor.img (alrdy had mhc19i) did the trick.

thx man.

still weird... can someone explain what vendor has to do with layers and what i possibly did wrong?

uninstalled ALL Layers with layers manager and then nothing worked anymore until ur fix :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Once I had layers on my phone,everything was cool,but one day something happened nobody knows what and my phone went from alone in a bootloop. Eventually I had to completely flash EVERYTHING new,since backup didn't fix the bootloop.

Weird right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
Oo that rly makes me want to go to the CMTE version... i liked the ability to mix themes and so on but risking a total crash or even only smth like i had i dont rly want.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Mhmmmm you can mix some stuff in CMTE,too.Like choose a Theme,take a different one for the navbar buttons,use a third theme for font etc...not like layers but you can mix a few things.Plus you don't have to reboot every single small change you do,best thing over Layers
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
yep i know. long time CMTE user here. should have kept what i know but cant rly resist new stuff XD

what i meant with mixing is layers' possibility to use whatsapp layer from pack 1 and play store layer from pack 2 i think u get the idea. should have made that a bit clearer before ^^

also i miss using icon packs systemwide and font changing in layers (both possible in cmte).

i think i will go the the cmte version tomorrow. an hour of resyncing my andwear again yay
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Are you using any dark themes? In my case, it seems a few dark themes are FCing Photo 1.17...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
This is possible now with DU's Themes tile. Long press on it within an app to select a theme just for that app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Yes,currently I am.But when you mention it now,I did notice it isn't with all themes the case.

The FCing started one before the latest Google Photo update for me.

Yes,I switched a few themes,from 10 themes I have installed,7 are dark and from those 6 make Photo FC.

From 3 white themes 1 causes a FC.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Namyep:
So after two days of use I wanted to change theme and realised I went with the layers version of PN.

Downloaded layer manager and seems like most themes are not compatible with the version of android that I'm running. Is there a way to put the CMTE version without having to undo everything I've done to my phone like EX settings and so on?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
If you are using the Layers showcase app, it will show almost every single theme as incompatible, when that is not true. If you see a theme you like, look at the Play Store listing as they are usually pretty explicit about saying the theme is compatible with Marshmallow.

As for switching to CMTE from Layers, I highly recommend clean flashing but people say wiping system, cache, and dalvik then flashing the CMTE zip with GApps is usually fine (don't forget to remove your Layers theme or else you will need to reflash the vendor image). This is answered in the FAQ in the second post by the way.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
I tried figured that and tried... Got the option to flash to vendor, but for some reason after doing so, I'm still getting the outdated vendor msg... Picked up the zip from the OP...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
FAQ in the second post tells you exactly which vendor to flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Namyep:
If I can use layers then I have no problem sticking to this version. Thanks for the answer and sorry, need to get better at looking at FAQs.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] friendsm_32:
Ok, i fudged up. Long story short i tried to flash the newest radio via twrp and chose "system" partition. After digging into this all day i realize that was a no-no. The bad news is now twrp is not recognizing my password and i cant wipe and restore backup. i was hoping someone could point me in right direction, thanks guys...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Happend to me too.

I just reinstalled everything from ground up again,tho I lost also everything from my Internal storage.Well since I didn't have that much at that time,wasn't so bad for me.

I'm not sure you can do much about that.Perhaps try flashing the vendor image the right way and perhaps that will remove the TWRP password.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Heisenberg:
Flash the factory images to recover. Once you've done that you can flash your ROM again.

How do I go back to the stock kernel?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wooddale:
Can I delete layers in system/ vendor/ overlay in Root explorer orbdobI have to do it in TWRP? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Heisenberg:
Grab the boot.img from the ROM zip and flash with fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Or you can just flash it with TWRP (using the flash image section in the install menu).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
This works for kernels that don't modify /system like ElementalX and Franco. For others that use scripts in /system and other modifications, you should reflash the entire ROM zip to ensure nothing is left behind.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Phazmos:
Root explorer always worked for me.

Be sure to reboot when done.

Thanks.

What are the latest versions of the radio and other things that I'm not getting updates for since I am not stock? Probably need links to them as well. Just want to keep up to date. Didn't see links in the OP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Shemploo:
You can always get on latest everything by flashing the latest stock image, including everything.

That's how I usually do it, if I'm having issues.

If you search around you might find each one of the components individually, but that's going to take some effort.

I'd suggest doing the stock flash, then wipe and flash ROM, that's if you don't mind doing a clean flash.

You don't have to, just make sure you remove any Layers you have installed. You can do it if you want to make absolutely sure there is nothing residual left over from stock.

Did you clean install over? If not, I would recommend doing so but you can try clearing Play Store in Settings > Apps.

New Factory Image Update?

Okay, so I've read through the FAQ and the directions to updating the vendor, and that all makes sense. I'm looking to keep my phone as updated/close to stock as I can without sacrificing the benefits of PN. However, I had some particular questions that didn't seem to be addressed in the FAQ or the Install Guide.

As I understand, with every new release of PN based on the newest build, one must update the vendor that Google releases. This can be obtained directly from the google developers website with the full updated factory image OR separately extracted by [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] and updated either via fastboot or TWRP.

Question #1: Will there be an issue if I am on the current (older) build of PN and update to the latest vendor (different version)?

Additionally, each google factory image includes the following 8 files:

boot.img

bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img

cache.img

radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img

recovery.img

system.img

userdata.img

vendor.img

Question #2: What files am I safe to update to the latest versions without interfering with my PN installation? As I understand, defintely bootloader and radio (probably vendor, as listed above). Would cache and boot apply? System and userdata seem like a pretty self-explanatory no. Recovery just gets overwritten with TWRP.

Much appreciated!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Yes, you will get the vendor image out of date message since the build and vendor image don't match.

2. Bootloader and radio only. Vendor should only be updated when the ROM does, boot is the stock kernel which could break some stuff, system is the stock OS, recovery overrides TWRP (as you said), and you shouldn't ever flash cache or userdata (wiping cache does the first, formatting userdata with fastboot does the second).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] threshfire:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] Wow, thanks for the amazingly quick reply! I've had those questions since coming over to PN and hadn't quite figured it out on my own. Thanks for the clear and understandable answers, and for always keeping us all in the know!! That FAQ and Install Guide is fantastic.

I am loving this firmware. Flashed it with AK kernel. Off the first charge it lasted two days and I got about 8 hours of SOT by the time it hit 16%. I haven't seen use like that since before the January stock update. Bravo to the dev and to AK.

I only noticed a little stuttering during the first ~3 hours. Afterwards, the system was smooth and lag free.

Hello guys, I'm having some problems with this ROM. Everything is good so far except that when I opened some apps and I press home button, the app is gone, it doesn't show in recent app so I have to reboot it to open. It happens right after I restart my phone though, not when I opened like 15+ apps at the same time.

Moreover, when I use my phone landscape, the navigation bar is gone, I have to enter to setting to go back to portrait mode to see it.

Anyone experienced these before? Could use some help.

Thanks!!

P.S. I have tried clearing both cache and dalvik cache.

And i have another question...i just made a nandroid backup of my stock rom, i backed up system/data/boot/vendor/vendor images and efs. I know about the three main partitions but if for some reason i want to restore my nandroid should i restore the vendor and vendor.img as well? Thanks.

How do I decrypt??? I look in the faq but didn't see anything
[Nexus 6P Android Development] musashiken:
If rebooting your phone and wiping cache doesn't fix it, you probably need to dirty flash rom again. The camera FC thing happened to me twice. First time it happened out of nowhere, and I was trying out other camera apps like a better camera and then both cameras will just FC. I had to uninstall the 3rd party app and wipe cache before camera went back to normal.

But a few weeks later the FC came back again and even wiping cache and dalvik did not work. So I had to dirty flash the rom, wipe dalvik and cache and the camera works again. I don't even dare to try 3rd party camera apps now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Actually forget what I said about what I said about the cache.img, it's fine to flash. Here is Heisenberg's guide, the section I would use is 11. Assuming you already have the latest bootloader and radio, you can skip those and if you want to keep TWRP, you can skip the stock recovery.

You would just restore vendor.

Use the section in the guide I linked above (basically just fastboot format userdata, which will wipe your apps, their data, and your internal storage).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Curiousn00b:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION], if you were to decrypt it that way, at what point would it encrypt again?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Heisenberg:
It will only encrypt again if you choose to via the settings menu, or if you use a kernel that forced encryption.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
To add onto Heisenberg, all of the major custom kernels (ElementalX, Kylo, Elite, AK, and Franco) disable forced encryption. So if you are ever in doubt whether or not you are going to get encrypted (this ROM's kernel disables it by default and most, if not all, custom AOSP ROMs do as well), just flash one of those before booting up and you will be safe. Most CM based ROMs and the stock kernel will encrypt you, just so you know.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joey3002:
ahhh thanks, i am using franco's kernel too.. I should look in the app settings :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neok44:
Any particular reason why using Wi-Fi would cause the phone to get twice as hot as on LTE during data usage and drain by battery about 2-3 times as fast?
