[Nexus 6P Android Development] SouL Shadow:
What radio version are you using? After I upgraded bootloader, radio, vendor and the latest ROM I have had problems with WiFi going in and out. I've had the phone for a month but just popped the sim card in and activated it yesterday. I went from a the late November ROM release to the 12/19 release. (Each with corresponding firmware) The prior release had solid WiFi connectivity but was not yet activated on any cell network. Since upgrading and activating, both cell and WiFi connectivity seem less then ideal. Battery life has also noticeably gone down, though it's too soon to see how bad it is. (Only 24 hours so far). I have 3 of this phone and all 3 (different users) appear to be affected.

Based on the symptoms I've seen and read about, I'd guess the battery drain and the radio problems (cell and WiFi) are related and either the radio, vendor or both are the cause. It's still very early on in my testing though, so only time will tell. Of course, it was mentioned that nearly every AOSP file was touched by the 6.0.1 update, so it's possible a bug was introduced upstream (which is why these problems are seen by stock users too).

Anyway, the interesting thing about the radio connectivity is that the longer it is connected to the same system (ie: the same WiFi or the same cell tower) the connection appears to become more stable. This could point to the Google connectivity services instead of the firmware. That might explain why some people on 6.0.1 have no problems and others do.

Regardless, these issues are not limited to this ROM or a particular kernel, so we will just have to wait until upstream (Google/ AOSP) identify and fix the issue(s).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] slick97477:
I know I have flashed the latest bootloader, radio, and vendor that came with 6.0.1

Yea your are right. When I was on 6.0 completely stock and no root. Everything was solid except it was stock. I went to screwd Rom first with the AK kernel and that ran good, that's when I first noticed the Wi-Fi dropping in and out and honestly thought it had something to do with the Rom or kernel. Then I switched to Pure Nexus with elementalx kernel and I really like this Rom. Everything has seemed stable for a while then the 6.0.1 update came out and was good for a few days and now back to the switching on and off stuff again. Oddly enough though my buddy is running screwd and AK kernel on his Nexus 6p and hasn't seen any issues that I am which is very odd if you ask me but he may not be noticing it either though. I just hope they hurry up and figure it out because getting annoying to be downloading something and have the Wi-Fi kick out and it switches to data and burns up my data.

Well, finally made the jump to PN and using my N6p, which had been sitting on my desk tempting me for the past month or so! I was waiting for 6.0.1 to drop and the Dec security fixes, etc, but I have finally got it up and running. My N6 will now sit in retirement, but not before updating it to PN. It had a good run and was a great phone, but my initial impression of the N6p is what a phone! Love every feature of it so far.

First off, [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION], fantastic rom! I used your roms during the N2/N3 days, and now on the N6p, and it runs great. No problems, quick, intuitive and lots of features. Thanks again for all of your hard work.

Second, to [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION], thank you very much for your mini-guide on how to get this rom up and running! It was very helpful and easy to follow. I will use your guide for the N6 as well.

Also, nice to see some former N2/N3 users over here now, I see a lot of familiar names. [MENTION=4670411]az_biker[/MENTION], I remember you from the N3 forums, and your guides were awesome. For the N6p, just read the guide by [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] and/or [MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION] and you will make the transition to the Nexus in no time. Also, for a kernel suggestion, try elemental X it is running great on my phone right now. Battery life is stellar, easy set up, good feedback on it too.

Thanks again!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] __Mike__:
First, a big thanks to [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] for the hard dev work to make such a buttery smooth ROM, and also for setting the tone for handling questions, requests, and suggestions with good humor.

Second, really big thanks to [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] for his especially helpful guide here.

Would it be possible to integrate this guide into the first page, perhaps as an elaboration on beans post #4?

This would simplify finding the more elaborate instructions necessary for those of us who flash updates a lot.

Of course, I also have to thank [MENTION=5244502]micmars[/MENTION] for his many helpful posts and delightfully odd delivery.

If I may be so bold as to suggest integrating some of his guides on Viper4Android &/ or layers also be integrated into firspage as well? (post 4?)

One final request for [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]: Can I request a feature that hides all messages that combine the words Andriod + pay + ?.

I must confess, that I did unlock the bootloader and root my N6p awhile back, but it sat unused in its dark and lonely box until yesterday.

I was using the wrong version of ElementalX. I forgot to go back to the 6.0 version when I went back to the 12/1 PN ROM. Once I loaded the proper version of ElementalX, everything is working fine. I tested Miracast for several hours, and it was rock solid.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] firestonebeer:
If you go to setting, notifications, google play services, just turn those notifications off and then back on. it goes away, but then you still get everything else. it will come back when you restart your phone (or sometimes randomly) but just rinse and repeat. i do this because I use it for chrome-cast controls, and if you leave it off, those don't pop up.

I'm never one to ask or talk about updates, but I really think, no matter what, that this ROM will not see another update. The new Pixel 2XL is out, the dev has said he will be getting one and I honestly think that there will be no further development on this particular ROM for the foreseeable future. Why don't we just all accept this and let PN for the Nexus 6P die a natural death?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tweeny80:
Common understanding is: Beans is working on it at his own pace.

The usual story: it'll arrive when it arrives. We are not entitled, we are benefactors of someone's benevolence.

And you are brave to be stirring this up :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] itylermartin:
It is funny that people stay in this thread demanding their update, but it's painfully obvious we won't be seeing an update anytime soon. (Check the GitHub in OP) The developer owes us nothing, that is true. If you had a thread with millions of views where people regularly GAVE you large sums of money, would you close it? Just update to Oreo... There is little need for custom ROMs these days. Battery life and ram management has never been better. Just freeze what you don't use Unless you're just stubborn.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pipnmike:
All of these devs spend their valuable time providing these ROMs for free and it's been great using PN. With that said there are other options that are on Oreo now and it's been good.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cswithxda:
Sounds like a plan! I returned my Pixel 2 with one of the reasons being lack of PN 8.0 (or any version at all), and I didn't bother to explore options to mimic two most important features to me: center clock and adjustable nav bar. Any idea how to achieve that if one abandons PN?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
So...search button broken? Have you bothered to see how many devices Beans supports? Did he stop those other devices when he got his 6P?

If you bothered to check his G+ page you will see he has had some personal difficulties for the past 2 months. When he updates PN code for Oreo it will work for all the devices he supports and only need kernels and device trees added...that's the beauty of AOSP.

Now enough about updates...back to our OT! :silly::silly::silly:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] madmuthertrucker:
Beans has been at it a long time. I followed him from the Note 2 days. Other roms tend to be glichy, but not his. They are solid. I figure he may give it up some day. I hope someone would step up and fill the void. Try some of those other 8.0 roms and you will see what I mean. If you are itching to flash something run stock 8.0 with root for awhile. Or try 8.1. Go fool around with the phone. Have some fun with all this. And Beans thanks for all the great roms man.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpitera:
I'm more than happy to wait. ROM is so stable, I really don't feel like I'm missing anything quite frankly.

Block that update notification from the play store you won't regret it. I did. I realized I don't get notifications from the play store much anyway.

Will going back to stick lose root? Or can you just flash SuperSU in TWRP as usual?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
You will lose root if you flash back to stock. Root is easy to get back by flashing Magisk in TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] masamunecyrus:
Getting back to complete stock Oreo w/TWRP, Magisk+root & Elemental X kernel:

Prerequisites:

Factory image (OPR5.170623.011, Nov 2017) (angler-opr5.170623.011-factory-0e60ceb6.zip)

Magisk (Magisk-v14.0.zip)

TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-angler.img)

ElementalX Kernel (ElementalX-N6P-5.06.zip)

Steps to wipe and install:

Extract angler-opr5.170623.011-factory-0e60ceb6.zip and also the image-angler-opr5.170623.011.zip that's inside of it.

Reboot to bootloader

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-03.77.img

This flashes the latest bootloader

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Reboot back into the updated bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-03.84.img

This flashes the latest cellphone radios

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Probably don't actually need to reboot, again, but people always do

fastboot format cache

We're going back to stock, so let's obliterate anything in your cache

fastboot format userdata

This completely wipes all your data and removes encryption from this phone. You'll have an off-the-shelf stock phone after this

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Flash the stock kernel

fastboot flash system system.img

Flash the stock Oreo OS

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Flash the carrier-specific stuff

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-angler.img

Flash TWRP recovery

Reboot to Recovery

If you don't reboot to recovery at this step, the stock OS will overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery, so you'd have to re-flash TWRP, again. A custom kernel (ElementalX) and/or root (Magisk) will stop this behavior.

adb push ElementalX-N6P-5.06.zip /sdcard

Transfer ElementalX kernel to your phone

adb push Magisk-v14.0.zip /sdcard

Transfer Magisk to your phone

TWRP install ElementalX Kernel and Magisk

Install ElementalX Kernel first, before installing Magisk

Wipe cache/dalvik

Why not?

Reboot System

You should boot up an unlocked, unencrypted, completely stock Oreo w/Magisk, ElementalX kernel, and TWRP. Android will ask you to re-encrypt the phone (Secure Start-up) during the setup, which you can now do, if you want.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Carolinaherps:
Thanks for the detailed instructions!

Is step 8 "fastboot format userdata" required? My phone isn't encrypted. I just hate to lose everything I've downloaded, pics, not to mention data associated with apps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
You don't have to but I would. Especially if your upgrading to a completely new Android version. Just remember that's your internal storage so make sure all your pictures , music , documents etc are all backed up first.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Some have had success without doing that but others had unexplained bugs and issues that was fixed by complete wipe. You could always do it over if you have issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
fastboot format userdata wipes data and internal storage.

If you're returning to stock, you should wipe data but, if you want to keep your internal storage, use TWRP's advanced wipe and select just cache, dalvik cache and data instead of fastboot format userdata.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lil_ith:
There's a substratum mod that works on Oreo (v5) that does centreclock and the adjustable nav bar can be done with an apk from playstore called custom navigation bar. Works really well... Or I end up disabling it and enabling LMT for pie.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Usually wiping cache in the browser fixes any stuck redirect pop-ups. But get yourself a good adblocker and will fix that issue.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nytrikx:
So I been having this serious problem. I've tried updating my 6P to Oreo. But, with the exception of Benzo Rom, the other two I tried stay in the animation screen indefinitely. And yes, I flashed the bootloader, radio, vendor, and did a complete wipe. Nothing worked, so I came back to 7.1.2. Anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 6:17:
This would happen to me when my phone was set up as F2FS. I switched back to ext4 and each one I tried loaded. In hindsight, The kernel I was flashing did support F2FS, but I found out afterwards, that the latest version of the kernel I was flashing did not work with the ROM. I haven't yet bothered to see if an older kernel, which does work, + ROM, + F2FS would play nice together.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nytrikx:
Thank you so much. You made my day. Problem solved. Yes, I, as well, have F2FS on my phone. I might go back to ext4 after this. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 6:17:
You're welcome :). I also went ahead and confirmed, F2FS, with the working kernel is also a no go.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Since there are a lot of PN users jumping to the Pixel 2 XL, here is a little 'how to' step by step I put together and used to get up and running with root, twrp, and cust kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] F350-6:
Since OT seems to be somewhat allowed, I could use some advice. My phone just died. Was taking some photos of something to sell on craigslist and the screen froze. Couldn't get it unfrozen so I held the power off button. Now it won't come back on. Power and volume down don't do anything either. Battery level was around 80%.

I have to have my phone for work. Both the 6p and my old galaxy note ( I think 4) are on chargers. If I can get the old samsung to power up, I can use it for a few days, but if not, what's available out there that I can get tomorrow that I can root? I'm on Verizon, so I know not to go to that store. Does Best Buy sell the unlocked phones that can be rooted? I know not that many phones are left that you can root, so a list of readily available ones would be appreciated.

Also any ideas how to wake the 6p back up?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I'd check SWAPPA for a good used, Pixel or Pixel XL as there should be fairly inexpensive and are available unlocked (make sure you do not get a VZW variant)...

As for the 6P, is it under warranty? If not, I can't think of anything else other than getting a few of the online/youtube tutorials on changing out the battery (likely a boot loop of death) and a large majority of 6Ps were saved from the BLOD by swapping out the battery)...

Sorry to hear this man!
