In TWRP you should be wiping everything except your storage partition for a clean flash. My suggestion was to go back to stock Google image. When you do it wipes everything. So back up important files and pictures. Start fresh. After that reflash pn with a clean flash. I think you have some residual crap somewhere that's causing a battery drain.

But I'm just guessing. I don't know what "format all" is from Android settings???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
=Clean flash.

Which is what everyone should have done with the last update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jfishbone311:
I just wanted to days thanks for all the hard work. It took me a couple tries to get things going but now everything is running super smooth. Great job.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
I'm currently on ex kernel. When you flash it you will have the option for what you want to set the clock speed to for the CPUs. I forget the exact value but I underclock to 1248 or so.

There are apps out there do adjust clock speeds, voltage, etc if you look for them. I believe Franco has one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 185driver:
Same here. Being this is a Magisk issue, it'll likely get fixed by that dev soon enough. Interestingly, reports on the Magisk forum are that enforcing actually IS enabled though the label in Settings reports otherwise.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Okay folks, I know I'm going to end up sounding stupid, but maybe I'm missing something..

PN is not rooted, you have to flash SuperSU after flashing the Rom to get root.

I flashed PN to remove root, then flashed Magisk 1.16

Magisk is all green and running good, but SuperSU is still in the settings menu?

Doesn't flashing Rom remove SuperSU? Or does it just 'deactivate' it?

TIA :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 185driver:
Yes, me too. I miss that feature. Hoping it gets fixed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] access9:
You have to do a clean flash of the ROM to remove root. You can also uninstall supersu from the app, but if your goal is to pass safetynet, clean flashing would be your best bet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Thanks for the response.

I'm not concerned with safety net. I dirty flashed PN and lost root which I expected), flashed Magisk but SuperSU (needing to update binaries) was still in settings.

Didn't realize only a clean flash removed SU altogether since I always flash su right after installing Rom. Thanks!

Was experimenting a bit before going in for the clean install and was su still in the settings.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
I totally forgot about hiding com.google.android.gms.setup

After hiding that... Pass! Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Never compare your SOT to another user. Usually it depends on what apps you are using, where you are, how strong your signal is, what connection you are using, etc etc. Whatever ROM and/or kernel I'm using, I get 4 to 5 hours. On very slow days, I can do 6 hours SOT.

I'm always using the same apps and have tamed wakelocks. You want more SOT? Hunt down the apps that keep your phone awake, turn off data when you aren't using it, minimize the times your social media accounts sync, uninstall apps you rarely use, limit the time you stream - basically, change how you use your phone. Or move to another place. :laugh:

You can also check your battery health and have it changed. This is the last resort.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JRJ442:
You could probably use unSU to get rid of it if you don't feel like clean flashing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
No you don't.

I was able to remove it cleanly myself without doing a clean install when I switched over from SuperSU to Magisk a few days ago. Here's how to do it. The key that everyone misses is that you have to have a clean boot.img from PN handy, because you have to flash it.

1. Unroot SuperSU completely by choosing full unroot in its options.

2. Reboot into recovery.

3. Flash stock boot.img.

4. Flash Magisk zip.

5. Install Magisk app from Play Store.

From there, everything should work just fine. I get all greens in the status screen and I even bought stuff with Android Pay, so it works 100%. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrMiami81:
All I did was flash the ROM zip to wipe out super su root and installed magisk manager from the play store then flashed the magisk zip that I got from the magisk manager. Pretty simple.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
Yep, pretty much the same thing. That being said, I've seen the SuperSU app linger around and cause problems even when doing a clean ROM install, so there's that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrMiami81:
The only time super su lingered around for me was when I tried to unroot from within the super su app itself. Once I flashed the ROM zip again magisk worked perfectly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GrndSers-Rcng:
Anyone?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
I would like to know this as well... why are we required to use the Verizon vendor image (NUF26N) instead of the other one (N4F26T)?

edit: nvm... spoke too soon... lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
#1... To remove SuperSU from settings, you need to uninstall the SuperSU app. Dirty flashing the ROM does not remove the app. Clean flashing and restoring from the cloud causes it to be reinstalled. Go into Settings > Apps, scroll down to SuperSU and select Uninstall.

#2... To completely remove SuperSU without dirty flashing... Full Unroot in SuperSU settings and let it restore boot image when it asks. SuperSU saves a copy of the prerooted boot image when you flash it and restores this copy when you tell it to do so. And don't forget to uninstall the app.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] access9:
You're talking about dirty flashing? Flashing a new ROM over a previous build without wiping data or system?

I've dirty flashed this ROM's previous builds and many others on several different phones and have never lost root with the exception of a bug.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sToRm1nG:
No worries, I am glad that you could figure it out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] doki81:
i always clean flash with step below...for latest PN,

1. backup with twrp

2. wipe everything except internal data

3. flash latest PN

4. flash kernel (optional)

5. flash magisk (latest)

when boot into rom...set everything and then go to play store to install magisk app. set magisk hide..and then reboot...actually they say now magisk hide is on the fly but i still prefer to give it a reboot :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
I've been meaning to ask this for a long time, but I keep forgetting.

The !Readytoflash on the root of the sdcard. I'm assuming that is from flashing the ROM? Why is it that it can't be deleted?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Pretty sure that's from your twrp installation
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
Ah ok. I've been wondering if it was the ROM, twrp, SuperSU or what.

Seems strange that even a root explorer can't delete it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Have you tried deleting it via TWRP's file explorer?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Xewyph:
Oh, I'll try that today. Not a bad Idea actually. And the format all of the settings... Well, it's located in settings, "save and réinitialisation" :) !

Thanks ! Will try that today !

Hm yeah, but, well, here, the "app" draining is android... 30% while screen is at 20% and Snapchat (used a lot) was only at 5%.

And i'm really scared about replacing my Nexus 6p battery... Maybe can i try the Huaweie client service...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
Oh, I haven't tried that yet. Only in solid explorer and the explorer built into sdmaid. Thanks for the recommendation.

Edit: that did it, thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Psycho Orange:
What launcher is default in last build? Pixel launcher?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
flashed the latest build some day ago, and i love it, but there is only one thing i kind of miss.

and that is the older styled Google(or was it aosp?) Keyboard, i dislike Gboard.

and i would like to ask where i could find a working aosp keyboard (basically the ones that were within PN before).

thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HerrT:
Yes
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Try and extract it from your backup. Titanium backup has a tool that can perform this operation.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] beanboy07:
I would suggest clean flashing and don't flash Gapps as they are baked into PN now. Assuming you haven't tried this already and if you have, do it again lol.

I tried dirty flashing but had parts of old ASOP apps remaining that were causing problems (keyboard), I clean flashed and not a single issue with themes, MagiskSU, etc etc. Enjoying extreme battery life and smoother than ever with Flash Kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jt1998:
do you have anything else installed to help improve battery life in conjunction with flash kernel? greenify, force doze, naptime, etc? Any special kernel profiles, underclocking etc? I'm looking for any tips! Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shotguntheenforcer:
Your device has some serious sleep apnea my friend. Have you monitored your CPU load to see if it ever settles?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pyro2677:
Am i correct in reading that Substratum is now Legacy? How can i get it back to the rooted version as now i have to reboot my phone to update the themes?

Also all the themes are hard baked into the apps as no overlays are showing and AOSP Contacts showing Black on Black now. Yes i did Dirty flash and last time i dirty flashed i didn't have this problem as Substratum wasn't Legacy.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HiM@L:
No.

Substratum just doesn't necessarily need root but u can always root. it just doesn't affect substratum functionality at all if u root or not.

try clearing substratum cache...or clean flash the ROM if problem still persist.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pyro2677:
So why do i have Substratum Legacy now?

How do i go back to the other one with masquerade???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JRJ442:
Because you dirty flashed and messed everything up in the process.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HiM@L:
you did some mistake on your side. clean flash the ROM again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Masquerade has been replaced by theme interfacer.

If you still see masquerade in substratum settings, you need to update substratum via the Playstore.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eregev:
Do try deleting cache and data from substratum first before clean flashing. It helped me. You can also try wiping /system and reflashing the latest build to clear out the system partition. But, while this helped for me it might not for you and, of course, clean flash is your way to go.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pyro2677:
Thanks everyone with actual help, I just cleaned the substratum cache and all is back to normal.

Google contacts can't update from playstore as it is saying it is there for an update however it isn't showing up anywhere in my phone. Ti can't find it, Any ideas? I only have the stock AOSP contacts where is used to have both.

I know you changed everything to the Google version ie Gboard, Dialer etc. I have GPhone, Gboard, Gcalculator but I still have AOSP contacts? Substratum is showing 2 of each of them still like they are installed but you can't find them. Strange. Everything is working but GContacts can't update and throwing at -505 error code.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] beanboy07:
None. I just run a lean phone, no syncs (1 email account for work) no FB etc, GPS device only and only when needed for maps, I have almost all Google information collecting turned off in my account, no adaptive brightness, no gestures but camera power button and torch, and I'm on cell data mostly 100 percent of the time. I would say my usage can be from moderate to heavy depending on what goes on during any given day. I easily achieve 5-6 hr screen time, with more then enough hours on phone to make it in a day. Flash Kernel, his profile, stock nothing touched.

Im not too keen to post a SS of my battery stats as everyone should know every phone and user is different and your results will vary.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
You answered your own question a few posts up and again in this post.

With the gapps now being part of the rom you should clean flash. If you read back a few pages there are others who had the same issue as you and got help with it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sengab1991:
Have you tried flash kernel ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hmillos:
I'm having some serious battery drain by Google App/Play Services since 01/17 release :(, it keeps waking up my phone, sadly, the only solution I've found is to clean said apps data and then don't activate Google Now features.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pyro2677:
Yeah I went back 5 pages and yeah I saw that but I must've misunderstood it. Sorry and thanks when I got spare (5hrs) time I'll clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
Happy to help, no worries.

I've found that if I nandroid, wipe everything, flash & let google restore my apps the process really isn't that painful. I use Nova so it is easy to backup/restore my launcher settings. A quick run through the settings to tweak some things then launching some apps to log in and I am done. Usually an hour tops and most of that is waiting or my apps to redownload. TiBu would make that quicker but I generally prefer the cleanliness of the Google cloud restore.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
does this latest version still have hotspot dropping out after a while?

cuz it seems like its doing it for me... and this is coming from a full wipe and running franco kernel

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jun_ng_1208:
Nope, I am using ElementalX kernel versio 4.06..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
maybe this hotspot issue has something to do with using the Verizon vendor???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rweddy1:
I am on T-Mobile
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
i'm on AT&T but the required vendor for PN is NUF26N (which is for Verizon)

i've search thru this thread and every1 says its fine using the Verzion vendor :confused:

i'm gonna go try LineageOS since its using the N4F26T vendor and see how it works...

Install BetterBatteryStats and check your awake (screen off) time and your alarms, when this happens to me, awake time is over 50% (it's 7% normally) and the alarms come from android/android.gms
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrDrBunny:
For anyone having battery issues with ElementalX 4.06, I dirty flashed the latest PureNexus update and then flashed the latest Flash Kernel and my battery drain went away. I would highly suggest you try that out before attempting to do other troubleshooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
If you suspect that it's the vendor image, why would you install a totally different ROM to test? All that tells you is if the issue could be ROM related. If you really think that everyone is wrong about the vendors being the same, you should flash the other vendor image and ignore the warning on boot.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] boxguy1:
I will I disable wakelooks and see what happens
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pyro2677:
5hrs is 4hrs downloading the apps ;)

Yeah I'll have a crack at it on the weekend, TiBu for some reason if i restore some apps with this i lose the notifications. Then i have to uninstall then reinstall the app again just for push notifications to work again. The not restoring Bluetooth is the biggest part i hate about clean installing as i have to do my Watch again, Cars.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rweddy1:
Elemental X or Franco ? Any thoughts - reconditions ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbc663:
I'm a Franco guy. Never have any issues and he is one hell of a dev. I've never ran stock kernel or any other, that's how pleased I am. His kernel app is amazing if you'd like to support him.

Love the rom. Just cleaned flash latest March build. Does anyone have any solutions to fixing this dang speaker issue. Callers are saying Im echoing.

Is this still going on after all these years! Have you tried changing or using no case. I have had no issues here on latest build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Please explain your clean wipe.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
I wasn't going to contribute to the excessive number of battery posts on this thread, because they really should be taken to their own thread, but considering that they don't seem to be stopping any time soon, I thought I should point out something that most of y'all are forgetting... Apps and ROM are optimized in the background and will cause higher than normal battery usage after a new ROM install, especially if you're using the device at the time. It'll take anywhere from hours to days for the battery use to settle in, so you may not know how well your battery life is until days after the install. Trying to assume your future battery use within a few hours after install will not give you an accurate reading. If you give your ROM install a few days to settle in before measuring your battery use, you may very well find that your battery life is not as bad as you assume.

Have a good one!

Thanks for the input, I was running Franco on 2-15 build and was great but going to baseline a bit with the 3-17 stock and was thinking about trying elemental X, used that on my OP3 and N5x several times with good results.

okay thank you for the quick reply, Ill try the no case method for a bit but currently using this case. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugge...90141485&sr=1-1&keywords=nexus+6p+spigen+case
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
I installed a different ROM to find a good daily driver for myself... not to test my "suspicion". I don't have much knowledge about vendors and such and have gone with what everyone says (that the verizon vendor is fine to work with). I was just merely making a suggestion since common sense would question why Google would put out a "Verizon" only vendor. I flashed the other vendor and that warning popped up a couple times after boot as well... so i didn't even bother testing.. I'm on the latest Lineage weekly now and the hotspot is holding up pretty well; magisk 11.6 works and passes safetynet too...

Don't get me wrong, I love PN... been using it as my daily driver since the 6.0.1 days but had to switch cuz the hotspot tether is important for me.

also, i'm seeing this option on LineageOS ..... "Wi-Fi Hotspot Timeout"

maybe PN is missing this and has the default set to 10 minutes ???

I'm using the same case.. lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Not to pick nits, but you did imply that you were trying lineage because of the vendor image, but that's neither here nor there... Google did not release a Verizon only vendor image... They released a Verizon only factory image. Google must have felt that the 3.79 radio image was better for Verizon and the 3.78 radio image was better for every other carrier, and because the radio images are different, the factory image version is different.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] snobrdinrtiste:
first off, thank you for that explanation... that certainly helps understanding the difference in factory images, vendors and what not. I wasn't aware of that...

2nd, implying that i try lineage cuz of the vendor... i did flash N4F26T on PN to check for myself (since i didn't have the knowledge of understanding the difference between factory images/vendor versions). after flashing N4F26T and saw that the problem was still there... i decided to try Lineage since it was stated that the N4F26T vendor was used for it... thats it man... i honestly didn't think that was offensive in any way or form... i was only speaking my mind as to trying to pin point the issue for myself.

and from my previous post, I don't remember seeing that option of setting a timeout for tethering in PN... maybe PN's tethering is set at default to timeout after 10 minutes...

Cheers

I have been using the calendar widget and Facebook calendar sync to see birthdays on my calendar and up until this new release it worked great, now on this new release it isn't working. I have emailed the dev for the calendar and there have been no changes. Have there been any rom changes that might cause this? Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] _Dusty_:
First of all, thanks for the rom :D I've been using it since the first release on the 6p and I love it !

But I'm wondering, normally I would flash a kernel with support for boosting the audio output and changing the display settings (rgb,contrast etc.) now for this release (r26) I decided to use the kernel that is packed with the rom.

Are there any kernel managers or terminal commands that I can use to boost the volume or change the diplay settings ? If not then I know to flash another kernel next release :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] treesurf:
Clean flash + magisk + franco kernel. All is running well so far!
