Google Camera has an update available in the XDA Labs app if you can't get it from the Play Store.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] T4rd:
Hah, check his profile.. he hasn't really been active since he posted the last ROM update in July. His last post is him saying he preordered the Pixel 2 XL at the beginning of October, which seems to have virtually zero dev support unfortunately.

I'm afraid it's time to move on now, sadly. I'm definitely going to miss this ROM and all the features it brings, but I don't think I can stay on the July security update for much longer and will flash the stock ROM back to my phone. I've noticed Franco has stopped supporting the phone as well with kernel updates. If Beans ever becomes active again, then I'll definitely donate to him (again) and flash back to PN when/if the update drops.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
He may not be active on XDA, but his GitHub has definitely been active lately.

Not sure I'd call a few commits a couple weeks ago very active.. before that it was 3 months of inactivity as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Yes, it was...because of well documented personal issues. Now enough! He owes us NOTHING! If he does put out an 8.1 there should be gratitude galore, but this doom and gloom attitude is not welcome in this thread!

XDA was founded on the principle of people learning from each other and becoming developers. This entitled attitudes I am reading here is why developers are stopping work or going to their private G+ groups.

When everyone left the Epic 4G for newer devices I learned how to make an updated ROM for the last firmware and put it out for the community.

That is how XDA grows!

Merry Christmas to all supporting this ROM, device and all those having trouble!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
I was being sarcastic in an arrogant way. I hate people who need to bring up the new build before it's ready. Be excited on your own time, in your own mind.

I know Nate is working hard and will give us the new build as soon as he deams it ready.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpitera:
It's good that you clarified as people who don't know you may have gotten the wrong impression. :D

I'll never understand why threads with ROMS that are the most stable are also the ones where 'update fever' always seems rampant. I love PN - so smooth, so stable, so full of just what I need. I'd not only wait, but I'd still be happy if this *was* the last version - which I am sure it isn't.

[MENTION=418212]beans[/MENTION] - enjoy your holidays, do whatever makes you happy and thanks for the great ROM.

All mods/liaisons/whomever helps out on this thread - thanks for your patience and your knowledge and happy holidays to you all.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:
I think the users are mostly nervous because android 8.1 was released, and the most popular ROM is still on 7.1.2 without any status updates.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Happy Christmas everyone!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] T4rd:
Please stop assuming that just because someone mentions a devs inactivity, that they're being entitled and are complaining. I insinuated nothing of that attitude and was just pointing out that I wouldn't keep waiting for any update at this point if you're security conscious (as I don't like being more than a few months behind on security patches). But given that text can be hard to convey feelings, I can see how you and many others construe this as complaining.

To be clear, I've donated to beans and expect NOTHING in return, as I've already received a stellar product from him and am grateful for all of his work up to this point. He's a talented dev and I have nothing but respect and appreciation of him. So I'm completely fine with him NEVER returning to ROM development again if that's the case, but I would definitely be sad to see that and actually don't expect it to happen. It just doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon (and again.. that's absolutely fine with me - I'm NOT complaining.. guess I'll have to clarify this every time I mention a devs inactivity). I'm well aware of the personal issues he's mentioned before as well.

Hah, indeed.. I have a feeling there will be more need to keep moderating this thread until Beans is active again. I'm not sure what the policy is on this, but it may be best to just close the thread and let Beans unlock it and update it when he's ready. I'm pretty sure any common issues with the current ROM have already be discussed and resolved for others to search for here if need be.

I agree with you about never understanding people with "update fever" on stable ROMs. Just try better to recognize those people instead of jumping on the reply bandwagon, because I'm not one of them.

I'm sorry for all the strife I've caused by mentioning a devs blatant inactivity though. It's nothing personal, but I see it's hard for people to not take it as such. I've seen many get flamed for it and should have remembered and expected it as well. I'll be sure to not bring it up again, at least here, for everyone insists on taking it in the worst context (which is understandable, I've been guilty of it too for sure).

I half expect this to be "cleaned up" by mods now, but I'd also like to extend to everyone a Merry Christmas, esp. Beans and hope he's happy and well!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
I don't know how many (if any) devs Beans has working with him, But the DU team was almost done with 8.0 when 8.1 dropped and they decided it was easier to to do a complete re-basee of their code.

Anyone have kernel recommendations to work with Pure Nexus? I ran Flash kernel for a long time, then we support ended went to Electron, but support has ended for that, too. I suppose Elemental is left, anyone got other suggestions? I'm just looking for efficiency, latest security updates, and Magisk compatibility...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
ElementalX has always been my go-to kernel when using stock or an AOSP based ROM such as Pure Nexus. I'd recommend giving it a try.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Touz604:
I went with some 8.0 and 8.1 ROMs for the past 5 weeks and battery life was garbage. Stability was so-so also. Came back to PN last night and battery life and stability are stellar again. Man, Beans is doing such a great job with this ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Have you tried stock 8.1 it's giving me excellent results.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Touz604:
I'm waiting for either Xposed to be compatible or PN to be built (if ever). Otherwise stock lacks enough customization for my taste.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sascha1976:
[MENTION=4480927]aostrom[/MENTION]...i have Franco Kernel on my Nexus 6p with Pure Nexus 7.1.2 since 2 Years now. It is smooth and stable. Give it a try. Greetings Sascha
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cswithxda:
I know PN is excellent but stock 8.1 has treated me well in terms of battery life. Just yesterday I had a 6h59m SOT with about 15h up time. If not for all the customizations of PN, I'd see myself stay on stock for the life of this device.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
nearly 7h sot for real?

gimme your settings/apps !

what do you use ??

i have leandroid/naptime if you do as well, how do you use them (as in what settings do you have setup for them).

and also EXKM , what profile and what do you tick to be set up on reboot.

thank you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cswithxda:
I've typed up a paragraph, and then I realized that this is 6P thread ?

Sorry for the confusion, I'm on pixel 2, stock 8.1 DEC, Magisk, Elemental and no profile loaded at all.

Btw, I'm not running naptime or any other third party battery saving apps. I might use greenify in the future if a battery hog comes up in the future. Another app I had luck with was 3C toolbox, I use it exclusively for the "crystalize" function.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
You're right, though. Battery life is excellent on 8.1.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pr0adam:
I dont get close to that battery life with how I use my phone. I use location and BT fairly often, and im on a relatively new battery. SoT doesn't really mean much universally. When I see people say they get 7h SoT they are most likely throttling their CPU and turning everything off with low brightness. I refuse to believe otherwise especially with the POS CPU in the 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cswithxda:
Like I said, I missed the fact we're taking about 6P

But on Pixel 2, auto brightness set to 30%, location always on high accuracy, stock kernel settings, even with the always on display. 7 SoT is totally realistic.

I don't strive for high SoT in expense of any features that belongs to 2017 smartphones. As long as it gets past 5 SoT, all the extra hours are just bonus to me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
Lol, well I'm on a 6P, relatively new battery as well. I had a replacement phone sent to me from Google in like July. So it's only about 6 months old.

I have auto brightness on, gps and wifi on high accuracy. I turn Bluetooth off because ever since I upgraded to Oreo, it has trouble connecting to my car's head unit, so I have to turn it on after the car is running.

I haven't messed with the CPU/GPU frequency because I used to but never noticed a difference.

And I watch a lot of YouTube or play a PS1 emulator at work.

But hey, believe it or not. It's up to you. I just posted my screenshot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pr0adam:
I think i quoted the wrong person. I meant to quote the person who said they got 7 hours SoT. That i simply do not believe nor will I ever without throttling the hell out of the phone. I also assume neither of you guys use snapchat because that app absolutely destroys battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
I used to get high 6's, low 7's on my original 6P. I had a lot of down time at work and would watch a lot of YouTube on the weekend.

But yeah, I don't have Snapchat because I guess I'm getting old, lol. Just doesn't appeal to me.

I also have Facebook but only use it when I get a notification.

Franco kernel is the way to go
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
Thanks all for your recommendations. I used to run ElementalX - I went to Flash and found improvement in both SOT and performance. (I ran Trinity kernel on my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7; it was a really great combination of stability and performance. But, Morfic never brought it forward onto new platforms; I think many kernel devs (and ROM devs, too) burn out after a while, or just get tired of all the whining from the masses.

For some reason -- I'll plead holiday malaise (and the Flu) -- I didn't even think of Franco. I have never run that, but of course it is legendary. It sounds like it's worth a shot - changing kernels is easy, so I can always move to ElementalX later. Thanks again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] usafle:
Just make sure you don't use r65 of Franco's kernel. Because that requires Oreo... and well... you know the current status of this ROM....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
Yup. I saw that - different releases for different Android versions. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] usafle:
Figured I'd flash Franco (havent used it since flashing it on my Nexus10). Not sure what has happened. Installed r55 (which is 7x based) now the phone bootloops.

Freaking awesome. UGH

Time to reflash this "old" ROM now. I'm not in the position to backup my phone to flash 8.0 stock.. which I'm seriously contemplating. Knowing my luck, the day I return to stock to get 8, this will get updated. lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen Who:
The same thing happened to me. It can't be a coincidence. I'm wondering whats wrong. I ended up having to flash back to PN and I accidentally cleared my data in the process.... RIP all my texts. At least my photos are backed up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
I loaded r55, and it's working well. I had a little issue with the install - I tried flashing it without removing Magisk, and it hung at boot. Here's what worked and didn't work:

Did NOT work: dirty flash Pure Nexus, flash Franco 455.

DID work: flash Magisk uninstall, dirty flash Pure Nexus, flash Franco r55, flash Magisk v15.2.

I hope this helps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Stephen Who:
I will have to try this later. I was really upset to have cleared my data on accident last night. Thanks for the advice. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eliasps:
I apologise in advance for the off topic question, but does anyone know what exactly that plus icon next to the alarm icon on statusbar? It's driving me crazy...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
I think it means that data saver is on. Not sure though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kvoolk:
I believe it means you have data saver enabled. It's under the settings - network - data usage.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hiimwill:
It means Do Not Disturb is on (priority only).

I hope that Nate hasn't sunk too much/any time into the new build. Google just pushed the Spectre/Meltdown patch this month for our phone.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
There are a ton of Moderators that frequent this thread, yours truly included, and we are pretty good at keeping things in order.

I get your concern, but even Forum Rules state that OPs can allow OT, and Nate (beanstown106) has always allowed OT in his threads.

The best option, if the OT here is too much, is to find a thread where OT isn't allowed.

PN is a family, and we like the way things are here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] powerserge1:
Family is great, no need to post much. Running Pure Nexus 7.1.1 (June build) with Wingku 2.1 for a more battery saving profile. Hopefully will not kill my phone that way. Got one of the last ones made, owned for 10 months so far and accubattery shows 97% still on the battery.

Latest camera mod app found in the apps section, takes great pics. Phone is still one of the best. Very happy with the setup and ROM itself. It just works, sticking to it. Oreo would be tempting should beanstown oblige but even then will think twice since the 6P as is fits all my needs.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Whip Cracker:
Just hearing that Xposed is now available for Oreo (still relatively new to Nougat as well I believe) so looks like I'll be moving up from 6.0.1 soon lol..

Then you also have those still using devices that fell off manufacturer's ota process a long time ago.

I ran my Note 3 with PN an entire year after he stopped development on it without any security issues.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] law16:
Just giving PN a try. After about 2 years with an iphone6s + I got a Nexus 6p 64gb for a steal (100$). I'm pretty impressed with the rom, took a little bit to get up and running as I've always been on the HTC modding scene for a while. I'm assuming stock kernel will give me best results for battery and performance but could anyone give any recommendations? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
My preference for custom kernel is Elemental X (EX) or Flash kernel. Both are better at battery saving than stock, and don't noticeably throttle performance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ranasrule:
is there any guide on how to switch from supersu to magisk on PN ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Can you not just unroot from Supersu then root with magisk? Also reflashing will remove root, so that is an option as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Reflashing the Rom and installing Magisk in place of SU (following the same process) was going to be my suggestion, but I never used Magisk on PN, so I wasn't sure.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BIGWORM:
I would think unrooting via unsu.zip should work, then flash magisk, but if you're going from one root backend to another, I would definitely recommend clean-flashing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kevk60:
Changed my battery because it was getting weak. In the process I ripped the display cable. Ordered a new screen/digitizer frame assembly. Got everything back together. Worked great. Great battery life now. Decided to flash PN 7.1.2. Booted up great, working fine. Noticed though that I could only hear my ear speaker when in calls. When playing media audio it did not work. started wondering if my new flash was causing the problem. I have PN on some other phones and devices and no problems. Did some process of elimination and found that the kernel manager app I was using was causing the problem. Switched to another kernel manager app and now it is working properly.
