I flipping love PN! I'm running it now. Going to flash latest update and just wanted to clarify a couple things.

I'm not planning on using android pay now but I do want exposed

and layers working like they are for me now so I would stay with

system root?

No need to flash radios or vendors if I'm on December build?

Clean flash is always best for avoiding issues, even if it takes longer?

Since this update is rebased is it recommended to wear

eye protection when flashing?

Thanks everyone. Love this ROM and all your support and

community.

I read and re-read instructions for Magpie and I also found them cryptic. I did get a systemUI crash after one attempt at it. Followed instructions but as thorough as the instructions appear to be....I still had questions as I was doing them. I think I ran into troubles uninstalling one. Next time I tried (a new theme/color) it worked out ok. You'r not alone :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, just stick with system root (so just flash the ROM). No need to flash radios or vendors. I would clean flash to avoid any issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GoogleFan:
echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu

echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

Is this one continuous command or do I press enter between echo's
[Nexus 6P Android Development] teh roxxorz:
You would press enter between echoes.

Thanks for the tip I think I finally got the hang of it.

Thanks [MENTION=5309527]Blackiedamus[/MENTION] finally got things up and going!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] surenther.ss:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION]. I tried your method.

Wiped Everything other than internal memory

Flashed PN

Flashed Banks Gapps

Flashed FI Dialer (I needed since i am using Project FI)

Flashed UNSU

Typed echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu (In TWRP Terminal)

Flashed Super Su 2.6.6

I got system less root (i checked in SU->Settings->install (System not available for systemless root) but still Android Pay doesn't worked. I hope the culprit if FI Dialer app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Delete /su/xbin_bind and reboot. You didn't type echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu it seems so you probably have that directory.

Someone needs to give some love/donations to [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION]. I'm not sure everyone understands the thoroughness and discipline shown by not calling people out for not reading the amazing advice in this thread for the same 5-10 questions, over and over. People like that are why ROMs like this are the best. Would be good to take notice.

And thank you [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] - Amazing effort put into this release and you're already working on (take some personal time) the newest release for us, which is awesome! Certainly your leadership plays the largest role for a good community.

I'd tag them, but I'm so old school on here now I'm not sure how. Edit: appears just the @ sign does it!

Need some help on flashinf this Rom.. Just got my new 6P (original Rom is 6.0)and get it rooted (2.66 supersu).. I followed the OP instructions.. Flash the rom/gapps/vendor and stuck at animation screen.. Anyone have any idea??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minazaki:
Hey, just had to say thanks for your very helpful posts. I'm an Android veteran, but even for me, things got a bit confusing when systemless got introduced. This helped tremendously.

Question for you though: I wonder why custom kernel must be flashed prior to flashing systemless root? Am I to assume that in the future, if I want to upgrade my kernel, I have to repeat all steps from 7 on? Or is that not true.

Thanks again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Millz120:
After a day or two of reading through all these forums and I finally got everything working. I am currently running Pure Nexus + Banks GApps + Elemental X + Systemless Root. Everything works flawlessly! I love my Nexus 6P so much more. Big thanks to [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] his posts were very helpful. Also big thanks [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] your ROM rocks dude.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Thank you very much for the kind words, just trying to make everything run more smoothly. And Beans is the one who deserves your donations, I don't work nearly as hard as he does :p

Did you do a clean flash from stock (wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache)?

SuperSU adds some changes to the kernel that allow systemless root. When you install a different one (or an update with some kernels), it loses that patching, so SuperSU needs to be reflashed. As long as you don't wipe /data, you just need steps 7 and 9.

Woo! :D Glad to hear it.

As I type this, I am rewriting my install post from scratch, I hope that it makes more sense for the future lol.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] surenther.ss:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] It Worked. Thanks a lot :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Coderedpl:
Those Dynamic Gapps are sure slim!

Any benefit to flashing those then the previous PN at this point?

I will be using Layers so I'm assuming I need system root, hence android pay wont work anyway, correct?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Hey guys, I apologize for the constant posting about it but I feel content now. I completely rewrote my install post from scratch to make it a little more clear and generic with future updates. I think I nearly future proofed it with the systemless root information but of course as stuff develops I will keep it updated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chrisexv6:
Layers and systemless root should work, nathanchance has a special blurb in his instructional post about having to flash a different busybox to make it all work

Once layers and systemless work you should have no issues with Android Pay.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GoogleFan:
Finally was able to get android pay working after fresh install but unfortunately OK google isn't working now even when I press the search box at the top
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Hey, great job with your post and thank you for all the help. Been reading through 10+ pages to get up to date and based on what I've read, the only real benefit to systemless root is AP otherwise there's no point. Is that accurate? I really don't care for Android pay and will prob never use it.. I think I asked before and you said you prefer system root, correct? Been looking for a post for the pros and cons of systemless vs system root. Once again, thanks for all the help on this thread :silly:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Pretty much. There is not a reason to switch otherwise since the only other major benefit is OTA support but we don't have that lol. I am sticking with system root for now (but that is because I am on the N6 so I can't have Android Pay yet).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Since I don't use AP I'll prob stick with System root as well.. Thanks..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eep2378:
If you don't wanna mess with terminal you can use an older version of SuperSU systemless (2.61) and AP will work out of the box.

Hi, which partitions should I backup to restore to working condition again in case dirty flash failed? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
System, data, and boot. You can do vendor if you want but nothing really gets changed in there during a dirty flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] afdals:
Smart keyboard pro showing like this after update ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Did you dirty flash? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigknowz:
Sweet

Android Pay and best bench ever (fwiw), well done! [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] - not that I need much of a kick in the arse to send something your way, but Derek Gelinas has a great post on Google + reaffirming what I tell my son, no donations and the dev needs to find something else to do.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] afdals:
Yes dirty flash, yes reinstalled
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Did you have a different DPI than stock before you flashed? I would honestly recommend clean installing, this update was a complete rebase.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] afdals:
Yes I changed the DPI before , what to do now?

Anyone has the new vendor from today?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mmessina:
Installed systemless but android pay says still can't be used
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 1112ee:
does this need banks gapps for android pay? will it work with the newest open gapps?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Which version of SuperSU? Does it say systemless under SuperSU > Settings > Install SuperSU into /system?

2. Do you have any mods installed? Xposed, etc?

3. Did you delete /su/xbin_bind and reboot?

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Banks is known to work, I have not heard anything about Open GApps but I am going to go with no.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigknowz:
Systemless

Did you run the commands:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

I forgot to run the 2nd command, deleted /su/xbin_bind and its working.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] giant22000:
I can confirm that open gapps is a no go for Android Pay.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jroyalty7:
First thank you for the great work on this ROM and thank you to everyone that contributes and helps out in this thread. I'm just coming back to the flashing game after being stuck on an att sgs6 edge for way way too long and I am rusty from my nexus 5 days... Not to mention a lot has changed. Anyways after a clean flash and update to the latest build I went about setting up again but once I got to reinstalling xposed and GEL for google now launcher none of the settings will take? Anyone else running xposed or any modules hitting any issues? Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dragon1313:
I'd rather have layers than systemless root
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Lol...it's kind of fun, isn't it ?

Seriously, though, much of this can be better tested given a set of common parameters.

The challenge is that anything we do now will be supplanted with new info within the next 24-72 hours...

We have,

1. New branches of AOSP (6.01 r4-r10), which includes new sauce

2. New vendor images

3. New layers manager coming

4. Themed app folks like myself want definitive answers given specific criteria

5. Nathan B will be implementing a new Gapps package

6. Viper4android is still a question for many

That's my short list.

Plus, all of this has to be explained in a specific yet brief way, cleanly limned, and preemptively foolproof (or leaning that direction).

To me, it's not worth doing the above twice, but may be a necessity, given the repetitive questions.

On the nexus Dev builds, there's a P build, is that anything big?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
It is the January Security Update (some security patches and maybe some other minor bug fixes), it should be merged in the next build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dboogie2288:
Hey all, so I did a dirty flash of the 0103 build from 1219...my employer has us on maas360 and root is a policy violation. That said, after I get adaway installed, I do a full unroot and I'm valid again. I saw the posts with system less, but I figured with a full unroot, I'd be good to go. What's the best suggested route so I can get android pay working, but also fully unrooted so maas360 checks out?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
If you are fully unrooted, Android Pay should work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dboogie2288:
Nope. Still getting errors saying it isn't sure if it's running Android when trying to ad a card.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Adaway might be what is breaking it then.

I have it working correctly now. Themed everything that you listed in your first lost and after that I was able to use pieces from other lays nowni finally have a system wide blacked out theme. I wish real blackout themes where stock in roms like it is for the one plus x.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] revolt1:
so the nfc tab on the drop down is not showing even though I picked it to show up
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Blackiedamus:
In my experience, Commute and inversion are nice for system-wide darkening. Magpie lets me tailor things a bit more, so if I want to go translucent and gray, I can. Layers is still mostly in its infancy though, so I can only imagine what it will be like if even six months from now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Unleaded91:
Try turning Nfc on and off and see if it stays. I had this issue with the hot spot tile.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] revolt1:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Works fine for me, did you dirty flash the update or clean install?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] revolt1:

It was a full rebase so I'd probably clean install, as that it was I did.

I tested a voicemail today and I noticed I don't get a notification on my status bar anymore, instead I get a text message like this

//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=NM;id=1;c=1;t=v;s=XXXXXXXXXX;dt=11/11/2015 16:35 -0800;l=3;dev_t=

Replace the X's with the phone number the VM was left from and the time and date left is in there, too.

After I checked and deleted the voicemail, I got another text message

//VZWVVM:SYNC:ev=MBU;dev_T=5

I don't subscribe to visual voicemail if that matters or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sparksj3:
Really strange issue here.

I'm a Project FI user, running latest build.

On morning commute, I drive through a brief dead spot. Sometimes my phone can switch to a different tower, but usually reception just goes dead. No big deal, it only lasts a few minutes.

Installed the ROM last night after running stock without problem since receiving the device about 10 days ago. After installing the ROM, while listening to Audible audiobook over bluetooth stereo, as soon as I hit the deadspot, my phone completely freezes up and becomes completely unresponsive for 15 - 30 seconds. The first time, it crashed the UI and went through some sort of partial reboot. The second time, I had to force a full restart before I could get access to the phone again. Happened both ways on the commute, while listening to audible over bluetooth. Very strange, and no idea where to start troubleshooting for this one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aalupatti:
Rom working great.. Very smooth , fast and great battery.

Few bugs to mention

1- Voicemail - No notification of the voice mail is seen. Interestingly, I set up a notification light for voicemail and the color shows but nothing in the status bar.

2- With every boot the kernel settings seems to go back to default. Eg: the D2W gets turned off. I am on the stock kernel of the rom

Anyone with these issues ?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ohlin5:
I have no idea what causes this, but its not the ROM. My wifes phone is 100% stock and she got the same exact thing last night. Very odd.

On another note, loving this ROM so far! Only 2 things I'm really missing at the moment are quick pulldown of the status bar, and the ability to swap/reorient volume buttons when in landscape mode. Any chance of these seeing additions into this great ROM?

Think I found a solution. I went into battery optimization and set the clock apps to not be optimized and I haven't lost time since. It seems the clock was being dozed.

Do you have greenify installed by chance? I have it installed with aggressive doze enabled which I think may be part of the issue. I removed the aggressive doze option and also deoptimized the clock.
