Really? I'm on stock 8.1. Have been for a while because for some reason no other ROM has a working phone app, which is weird.

But it's super smooth and snappy.

Honestly, the only reason I haven't bought a new phone is because 8.1 runs so damn good on this phone.

I miss customizations, but it's nice just having a smooth, lag free experience and a phone that "just works".

figured id jump in and let you guys know i am back, its been a pretty rough half a year but i have finally got some time to start tinkering again im sure some of you have noticed some movement on github, i seem to have a good base going and now i am just working on device specific things :highfive::good: to start i will only be supporting the phones i own Angler, Pixel/XL, and Pixel 2 XL :victory: hopefully once i get these devices stable i can put out a build, granted the first build will most likely be barebones it will however have the stability you all have come to love from Pure :cool:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Whip Cracker:
Glad that the OP is getting back into it, hope all is well in life!

Was wondering if someone could please suggest whether I should be updating the bootloader or radio on my phone? I moved from the last 6.0.1 PureNexus ROM over to the latest Nougat rom and only updated the vendor image.

I personally haven't noticed any issues at all (touch wood) but thought I'd best ask. Should I be using a bootloader and radio of a similar age to the 7.1.2 rom at all? If anyone can provide further advice, that'd be epic. Cheers!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
You definitely want your bootloader to coincide with whatever current build your on. Radio, doesn't matter. In fact, on the 6p, I've found that the 3.72 was the best one. I'm even running that on the latest 8.1 January update. I would also consider updating to the latest Oreo 8.1 update in the not to distant future. Pretty sure that when Beans releases a new build, it'll be based on that. Hope this helps :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Whip Cracker:
Thanks mate, I'll need to do some research on which bootloader is best for this specific rom. I assume any 7.1.2 rom would be suitable for this rom?

I'll have a look at other radios soon enough, but I've always been a fan of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
You just need to know what month your rom came out. If it's the latest PN rom, I believe it was July of last year. Then find the factory image, and extract the bootloader from there.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Whip Cracker:
July 2017? Excellent. I'm assuming it's probably the last Nougat rom before Oreo launched.

Looks like I have to pull out the laptop to use bloody fastboot! Might need to clear off the dust on it, lol..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Do you Bonsai?

Wow! Throwback!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
I think that your recommendation to update to 8.1 stock image prior to PN's release is very sound advice!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpitera:
I saw that posted in the G+ group. But I also saw a post (not from Beans) stating PN is no longer supporting the Nexus 6p.

Can someone confirm whether that is true or whether the poster was misinformed? :confused:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Beans named the devices he owns. Angler is one of them ?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpitera:
Or you could just say yes. Like Badger50 (thank you, btw).

Sorry; been awhile since I have been working on other non ROM related projects and forgot that Angler was the 6p.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
You say you forgot your phones codename? Weird, but okay.

But considering the fact that the other 99% of people that would have made the post are not in the same situation. The reasoning is they don't want to/have time to/ whatever excuse they use, ever read.

Been here for too many years, and have seen how much more prevalent this issue is, so no, I won't just give a yes. If you hand feed people, there's no incentive for them to actually be a member of a community, I'd sooner people learn to fend for themselves. I'd prefer the android community not become a help desk.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpitera:
Yes, may be weird to you, but considering that this ROM has been in a stasis mode for months and I have been working as a mod at an open source project, helping new users and answering questions, it slipped my mind. I guess I got a little spoiled spending time in a community where people looked forward to an opportunity to help users rather than make them feel stupid for asking simple questions.

Thanks to another user who didn't feel the need to 'make a point' I got my answer though; nice to know some of them still exist.

Been here for many years myself - check my profile. ;)

Also answered many questions - again, check my profile. ;)

Hello....hello... (echo)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
I am using cortex rom and decided to go back to pn 7.1.2. I wiped data, cache, system and all fhe good stuff and flashed the PN rom, beans gapps and vendor. I get an error saying that cannot flash vendor. And then then when i boot it to system. It doesn't go past the google screen. I flashed cortex back again and it works and all. I read that i should be able to flash a custom ROM if I do a clean wipe. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Are you flashing vendor to the vendor partition? And is it the corresponding image for the PN version?

...just checking
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
Yes, everything i have is from PN. And I'm flashing it through twrp in the vendor partition. Don't have my laptop on me so can't use fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BIGWORM:
Glad to see you back, Beans!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
I'd recommend trying to download the vendor image again and verify the checksum. As long as the vendor image file is correct and being flashed correctly, TWRP should be able to flash it, no matter what ROM you're using.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
Thanks, I'll try it again and let you know.

So it the ROM not booting coz of fhe vendor image? Coz I don't think that's the reason. If the vendor is incorrect it'll still boot and tell you to flash it. But mine doesn't boot, doesn't go past the google screen.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Some people have reported problems with booting when the vendor is wrong. If you still have issues with booting after successfully flashing the correct vendor, you may need to try a full wipe (including internal) because sometimes those files left behind in internal can get it the way (remember to backup first). You could also try flashing to stock 7.1.2 before flashing TWRP, PN and GApps again, but hopefully this wouldn't be necessary.

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
Ok, I'll try downloading the vendor image when i have my laptop with me so if something goes wrong during flashing i will be able to do something about it.

Cheers.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Hey,

This is completely OT but does anyone know how to get a (new or like new) Pixel 2 XL (128 GB preferably) for a good price AND with a good screen? I've tried Swappa but it seems like no seller wants to ship outside the US (which baffles me in 2018 and seems kinda silly to me...).

I'm also looking at Ebay but most auctions don't mention the screen at all and people don't seem to be aware of the problems. Any idea guys?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] undeadking:
Directly from Google would be your best bet since you've tried Swappa and Ebay to no avail... I've also read somewhere that Google is offering financing with the monthly payments very similar to what the carriers are offering-- And purchasing through Google ensures that you will have the most important feature available to us- bootloader unlock...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Unfortunately, Google doesn't sell Pixel phones where I live (France). And honestly, I'm not spending $1000+ on a phone, no matter how much I love Android. Not worth it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jimbomodder:
Ok so recently my camera has started to play up so I got 2 oem cameras from replacebase off eBay, now if I fit new ones and wipe data and open it's all blurry, I thought it was a faulty module at 1stnso they sent a second and it does same. Plus it doesn't save pics. I tried going back stock And flashing full firmware but stayed the same? any help please
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Out of curiosity, Is this a PN Rom related issue? I'm not really into cameras and all, but it sounds like maybe an accidental post in the wrong thread?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jimbomodder:
In general it's on any rom I've tried, compared to new cameras the original seems worn out but I can't get rid of the blurry screen, plus it doesn't save.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I've not heard this issue come up at all in the PN thread which is why I asked.

Not sure how to help you from here, sorry.

Good luck getting it resolved.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CNDow:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Does camera have permission to storage?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
I started with the HTC Desire. We can get the 5T here but the screen is too small and the camera not good enough. Other than that, it seems to be a good phone.

Not sure but this is the Pixel 2, not the XL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jimbomodder:
yes indeed it does as once i swap to new module i wipe apps data and regrant permissions again, currently had to switch back to shamu just because of camera.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] OneCheekyDevil:
Dont want to ask the obvious, but are you sure the lens doesn't have a fingerprint on it before re-assembly?

Just check that both the camera, and any glass lenses in between are 100% clean.

It could be focusing on a piece of dirt and thus you have your blurry pics.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Only thing I can say then is to revert to stock and see if it works normally. Then move forward to flash PN again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jimbomodder:
Unfortunately I've already done this and its just the same, surely can't be two faulty ones? although the number on the ribbon cord is different from mine? looking on aliexpress they sell same part but matching my number so maybe different batch of phones?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
It would be weird for the camera to just not save...that should be software and not hardware...unless there is a call in the software for specific hardware and it is throwing an error...did you try a logcat while taking a picture?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jimbomodder:
no, as it was blurry unless right in front and not saving I pit the old module back in.

Well dear friends, this is a great community with many funny, intelligent and helpful people but this will be my last post in this thread.

I have moved back to Stock.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me and others in troubleshooting and building this into what it is.

I would like to to also thank the moderators for doing such a great job with maintaining this thread and joining in on the fun.

And of course Most of all I want to thank Nate for all the hard work he's put into this ROM making into one of the most recognized ROMs and not giving up on the device. You do great work and wish you the very best.

That sounded like an acceptance speech I know after reading it, but wanted to let everyone know how grateful I am. If anyone needs me (doubt it) feel free to PM for help.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zurko:
Had a Pixel XL (1st and 2nd gen.). Now back to 6p. Bought the white version 64GB for 200€ and replaced the battery for 50€. Guys no need to spend 1k€ for the XL 2! I have the money but makes no sense to me. Software experience is nearly same, camera is really good enough (and I am really looking for the cam in a phone!).

This is the proof that in the last years there is no real revolution in smartphone market but big players are focusing on marketing. Just my two cents

Are users still holding out for an update to this rom? If so, can I respectfully ask why?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbc663:
Hardcore PN followers will hold out for it, knowing it is well worth the wait. Our devices function flawlessly on the current version and i think we are all still satisfied with how the 6P still performs on PN. If Oreo PN comes, ill upgrade, if not, I'm perfectly happy running this version until my device dies.

I know I am. To be honest, it's taking a long time and sometimes I feel the itch to flash something else. Then I realize PN has many features I don't want to live without. But since Beans told us it was coming, it's worth the wait. (and I still hope it's coming!)

+1. Can't justify a phone without a headphone jack, mostly due to air travel. wireless headphones just don't have the longevity to endure a long flight and I won't carry multiple pairs of headphones nor will I buy a USB port to headphone adapter. Put the damn headphone jack in the phone!

Cheers,

[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Pixel 2XL came with the adaptor. Also there are wired USB C headphones. I have a pair of those that came with a LeEco phone. They are really loud.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
To not have the ability to charge my phone while using a wired headphone is still a fail for my requirements. Not saying this is for everybody, but it's my own usage requirements that are driving my next phone.

But, I am happy to stay on the Nexus 6P. I've had few problems (had to replace the battery, and just recently the charging port), but it's the best device I have owned.

Cheers,

[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Death to headphone jacks!

:highfive:

I love it. The way I look at it, use wireless headphones, and plug them in to charge them when needed. Either way, you are ALWAYS plugging something in. Earbuds to phone? You plugged something in. BT headphones to charger? Plugged something in. Since I got my XL 2 I have only had to charge it during the day 4 times, and I preordered at the announcement. I've got some bigger BT cans I use for my long flights, and haven't had to charge them during a flight yet.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Not to mention, if I understand it, the wireless headphone is the only way to truly get the water proof rating (whatever it is) and I think that feature will eventually trump the convenience factor of wired headphones... Wireless headphones were getting super popular before the jacks started disappearing, so the two just seem to make sense.

Of course, this coming from a guy who uses headphones a few times between leap years :p

But that waterproofing though :D
