I always flash gapps on a dirty flash, especially IF Beans offers UPDATED gapps with a build, I flash the new gapps.

Not sure if they actually survive a dirty flash or not.

Give it 30 seconds, [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] will respond! :p

EDIT: UN... FREAKIN... BELIEVABLE... [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] :eek: :rolleyes:

I figured it out... Turn off reverse number lookup in your phone settings

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
when I looked at my logcat, I suspected this might be the culprit.

Hoping the new update will fix it without having to turn that off tho. thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tu3218:
Okay so I haven't had to flash the vendor zip yet. Still been on same build since flashing PN. But to clarify and understand, we are only flashing the vendor zip this time after flashing PN because its a new build number? So backup, wipe both cache, flash PN, and flash vendor? Enjoy.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, you flash the vendor zip every time there is a new build number. Your process is correct.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Khizar:
It's necessary to flash the vendor each time a new factory image is released by Google. All newer roms released after the factory image will require it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Actually, I changed the provider from WhitePages to OpenCnam... no issues. =)

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
BINGO, think you nailed it... had mine set to whitepages as well

eta: actually, this may or may NOT be the issue... I forgot that I clean flashed again and did NOT change it to white pages the second time, but still had the issue... hmmm
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
Turns out they don't survive (at least Banks don't), got no play services and no Google account or option to add it. So then I dirty flashed with banks gapps and ended up with set up fc that wouldn't stop. Downloading updated gapps now, will do it right this time!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No, they do, I definitely have dirty flashed with Banks and the Dynamic Pure Nexus GApps (based on Banks) without issue. Did you wipe system?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Khizar:
Did you wipe system? Banks Gapps survive dirty flash, you don't need to reflash them.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I guess I've been doing a semi-dirty flash as I always wipe system (along with dalvik, and cache)... probably a good thing I DO flash gapps every time :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Khizar:
Yeah, wiping system wipes gapps obviously.. LOL.. I don't wipe anything when I dirty flash, just revert to stock theme and go for it.

PS - BTW, how's my edited sig? Rofl..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] holla420:
Wanna give this rom a shot. How's this rom on vzw network? Is data working properly?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
Yes, wiped caches and system without and with Banks. Thought it odd. But all went fine with Beans Gapps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
If you wipe system, you need to reflash GApps. If you don't wipe system, you shouldn't reflash GApps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Yeah, works great on Big Red. I even get better signal in some remote areas compared to the Note 3. Of course we can't use VZW Cloud, VVM, or VZW insurance, but other than that, I'm happy with VZW on this device running PN!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] holla420:
Ty all I needed to know downloading now. I don't care about those apps. Lol.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Rootuser3.0:
I'm with Big Red too no issues here with the ROM but I suggest you flash the older 2.47 radio or 2.15. I had nothing but issues with the new radio. The 3G and 4G handoff was horrible. I always had to toggle airplane mode to get back my 4G now I have no issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
+1 My bad, I forgot that I did fastboot the 2.15 radio which is better in my device than the latest radio (2.50?)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] G-Bus:
Btw, normal that it still shows as build MMB29U?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Yeah, as long as your BUILD DATE says Wed Feb 3 and your Android Security Patch Level says Feb 1, 2016, you are golden!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Hey Nate, are you using FK R9 with the latest build? Saw that someone was having a few random reboots.. Thinking about flashing the latest CMTE build with FK R9 kernel..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Nope, I am running ElementalX (keep in mind I don't own a 6P). I haven't seen any reports of RRs with Franco or ElementalX in here. Just don't flash any more modifications like Xposed and you should be fine :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] holla420:
So flash rom then gapps, vendor then boot into fastboot and flash older radio?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Ahh ok.. Yeah, I typically just stick with Rom + Kernel.. No added stuff outside of layers.. Thanks sir
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
I had to reflash viper. It kept saying I needed to download the driver.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bobbarker2:
VZW Insurance? Of course you can still use it, Just because they don't sell the 6P at their stores doesn't mean it isn't covered. Straight from website:

Asurion may fulfill claims with new or refurbished equipment. In general, claims are fulfilled with the same make and model you claim. If this isn't possible, a like-kind make and model will be substituted. Color, feature and accessory compatibility are not guaranteed. You may cancel your coverage at any time and receive a pro-rated refund of your unused premium.

Chances of getting a 6P replaced with a 6P from Asurion are slim to none, so take your check and buy another. Simple.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
Anyone have an issue with layers engine and the 2/3 build? Installing layers and rebooting doesn't actually install.

Going to the uninstall layers tab (where you can see the installed ones) force closed the app.

And /system/vendor/overlay folder doesn't exist

Edit: I created my own overlay folder in /system/vendor. This got rid of the force close on uninstall layers tab. But after applying layers it didn't populate, and a reboot didn't stick them
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
/vendor/overlay is the location on this device and it sounds like you don't have Busybox installed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mcg:
Is it just me or does the global heads up setting not work for Whatsapp? I have all heads up notifications disabled via. the global setting in PureNexus settings but WhatsApp still is more than happy to give me heads-up notifications, lol!

I have to disable peeking notifications in the individual app settings,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
Oh crud. Thought it was in /system path for all devices. Never had to mess in there on the 6p. App always worked fine.

I might just manually move the apks. But was trying to diagnose why layers manager would start acting up

I do have busybox on though...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Layers Manager does not like it in /su/bin. Use /system/xbin or /system/bin if you can.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
Worked fine in the past...maybe it was making an exception. No reason to use su though now with no Android pay I suppose.

I'll give it a shot. Thank nate
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shayonpal:
+1
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Any time, let me know how it goes :)

1/29 build: flash MMB29P

2/3 build: flash MMB29Q
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
Stericsons busybox wasn't letting it install in system. Kept forcing su even when it was selected. Strange. I've been using that app since 2010 or something.

Moved to a diff busybox app and all is good again. #whiteuimustdie

Flash latest CMTE version. AWesome ROM!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] surenther.ss:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] it's off topic but need your help on flashing radio. I tried flashing radio through TWRP img flash, but its asking for partition. Which I have to select boot or recovery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Need to flash the radio file via fastboot, TWRP doesn't support radio/modem flashing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] surenther.ss:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] opps thanks a lot. You saved my 6p again
[Nexus 6P Android Development] twosix:
oh no. i updated the rom to the lastest and now i am experiencing wifi always on bug, even though i have turned it off. Any advice? Thanks.

Dupe post please delete
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Want to try the new build.

I am on latest Cata now so this is what I was thinking to do.

Uninstall layers

Flash new vendor

Wipe system, data, caches

Flash new PureNexus

Flash Xposed

Flash SuperSU 2.66

Flash ElementalX.

Is this the correct order?

Also I wanted to try CMTE version. It's my first time I will try CMTE. Does CMTE themes and other apps like hangouts, gmail etc or simply the UI and settings?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
1. I would do this order: uninstall Layers, do your wipe (which is correct), then flash Pure Nexus, GApps, vendor image, ElementalX, then Xposed. You don't need to flash SuperSU since this ROM is pre-rooted (comes with it in the zip). Do note that if you run into any issues with reboots or other framework issues, I would uninstall Xposed before reporting them.

2. Yes, CMTE themes everything that Layers does (and sometimes a little more).

Just a heads up, I cover a lot of this in the FAQ linked in my signature. If you ever have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask and welcome aboard :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Rootuser3.0:
Yes you can do it like that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BIGWORM:
So what radio is best to flash? I noticed handoff problems after flashing the build from early January, I believe it was...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
There are only two to choose from: 2.15 and 2.50. See which one you have in Settings > About phone and consider trying the other if the one isn't working for you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d08speed3:
Where can I find this again? Lol. And where are the radio's? I have such bad LTE on Verizon =\
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I'll upload them as separate zips to my AFH, you would normally get them from the factory images page linked in my signature.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d08speed3:
I appreciate this bud. Can u link me your AFH. I can flah them in TWRP or fastboot? The radio in about phone is "Baseband Version" correct? Mine says .2.6.1
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Here is a link to the three 6P radios there have been. To see which one you have right now, I think you may need to be in the bootloader, where it will say Baseband Version. These are NOT flashable in TWRP. You will need to unzip them and flash them in fastboot. [MENTION=2033035]tzbigworm[/MENTION] this may be of use to you as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d08speed3:
I'm on 2.50. I will try the other ones out. I see your on Verizon? What Radio do you run. I know it varies was just curious. Thanks again man.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Not actually on the 6P, I am on the 6 lol. I do recall [MENTION=4670411]az_biker[/MENTION] reverting to 02.15 and getting good results with it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shupiuiuma:
I tried searching for the two problems that I have but I'm unable to find if they are mentioned so here they are:

NB: Problems only appear in CMTE version and are gone as soon as I flash the version with "Layers" support

1) I only see H+ and never the LTE text. As soon as I flash the non-CMTE version all is fine and I see the LTE text all the time. I'm not sure to what network I'm actually connected since I feel it is just a glitch of the CMTE.

2) Show toggles with Two Fingers Swipe on the status bar does not work for me with the CMTE version.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d08speed3:
I would always get 3G in my house until I left. Flashed 2.15 and now I have 4 Bars LTE. Ran speed test and got 101Mbps DL Speed!!!! Holy Moly!!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jcpq:
How do I identify this version ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
On phone: Settings > About phone > Pure Nexus version. If it mentions CMTE there, you are on the CMTE version; otherwise, you are on the Layers version.

On AndroidFileHost: CMTE has -CMTE at the end before the zip ending, Layers does not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BartLuke94:
Hi, i'm on the 01/29 CMTE build. If i want to dirty flash the 02/03 CMTE version i just need to flash the vendor.zip and the rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bearclaw76:
I had to flash it.

Gesendet mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Correct. I'd recommend restoring to the stock theme first then flash ROM and vendor in TWRP.

Hello,

what is the best working procedure to install the latest purenexus rom over an existing pure-nexus-rom without wipe for the nexus 6p ?

Thx
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kaparo81:
Just flashed the new version! It looks smoother than the last and everything works perfectly. Great job as always ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BartLuke94:
Read one post above :)

Flash rom + vendor
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
You should read the first page (specifically the second post) as I maintain both an FAQ and installation guide (also linked in my signature) which should help you out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pitchdown:
Thx for the link? :)

Can somebody tell me WHY the new pure-nexus rom has build-number : MMB29U and the stock android images are MMB29Q : https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Thx
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zahir.dk:
Sorry for off-topic and not trying it myself... busy days... Just wanted to know if everything is running smooth on CMTE version as it is on Layers version? I am loving layers and need a reason staying away from clean flash, but at the same time I also want to try CMTE version... from theming perspective which one is better and any specific themes I should try?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nobnut:
Hi,

In the latest changelog there is "Feature: added toggle for ambient display notification inversion".

Am I being blind, as I cannot find it as a notification drawer tile option?

Thank you.

:o
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
See the FAQ in my signature, I cover it there.

It is an aesthetic choice, one is not really better than the other (despite what people tell you). I have tried both builds and they are equally stable. I personally prefer CMTE due to its maturity and better choice of themes. If you do go onto CMTE, I am a big fan of dark/black themes and I have a few good ones linked in my signature below as well as in the FAQ :)

It isn't a notification drawer option. Go into Settings > Pure Nexus Settings > Lockscreen.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nobnut:
Thank you!

I wasn't being blind... I was being retarded.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] igylan:
If you want to use the CM them engine to theme your phone use the CMTE otherwise use the other version which uses layers.

Yesterday back to PureNexus, everything works except that my notification doesnt comes in after phone sleep for 20mins or more. Had to unlock phone, open whatsapp apps then only new messages push in. I know Doze doesnt behave like that, was it PureNexus did something to 'optimize' or modify Doze ?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] audioman42:
Has anyone else noticed clipping/buzzing/distorted audio through the front speakers? This never happened when I was stock, but I immediately noticed it when picking my notification sound after switching over to Pure Nexus. It mainly happens when the volume is above about 50%. It seems like the phone's max volume was increased for this ROM, but a little too much. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hey guys I am trying the OP Google Dialer bc I see it has call block. I just realize when I get a call I can hear the ring tone but the screen does show the caller, in fact the screen doesn't wake up at all to show a call is coming... After I unlock the screen and launch the phone app I see nothing until the call ends then I get missed call notification. Any idea on this?

TX guys.

Hi. Planning to jump ship to PureNexus. Currently on stock MMB29M with systemless root. Would go with clean install. But have problem.

-Have installed xposed currently.

-Also, did not install busybox but I have layers installed.

-The current layers doesn't get removed even though i uninstalled them. All of the layers are there in vendor/overlay. Can i just delete the files from this folder to remove the layers?

- Regarding vendors, should i update to latest stock update (angler-mmb29q-factory-239acdde) & install the rom or the clean install procedure with the vendor flashing will do the trick?

- Lastly, is it advisable to be on normal root method rather than on systemless? Should i change to normal root from systemless prior to flashing? If so, Heisenberg's Guide would be sufficient?

(su

(you'll need to grant Supersu access at this point)

mount -o remount,rw /system

touch /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

mount -o remount,ro /system)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Hey beans, thanks for all your great work on this rom. Do you have any ideas what might be causing the fingerprint reader hardware error I posted about earlier? I've seen that at least one if not two or three other people are having the same problem on this rom. I'm going to update both of our phones tonight as I'm on version 1-9 and my wife is on version 1 29 and she has the problem and I don't.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] geoff5093:
I think you are overthinking this. I also had stock MMB29M and just now switched to PureNexus. I did the following:

Unlocked my phone using the Heisenberg guide

Flashed the latest February factory image

Flashed TWRP

Copied PureNexus and related files to my phone, then flashed in TWRP

Now you have PureNexus on a clean install
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lrcquest:
I would have followed if it was a fresh install from stock. But in the current situation....

Hey Nathan had a question that isn't technically answered in your tutorial.

I'm on the 1-29 build clean flashed.

I want to dirty flash (cache, davlik only) but I see that both vendor & gapps has been updated.

Is it suggested to wipe cache, davlik & system, Then flash pn & new gapps along with new vendor?

Thanks fam

To add to my last post about issue with the dialer, when I dial a number the call screen does not even show up for to hang-up or use the dial to enter an extension for example. I'm in trouble here. Any help appreciated, TX guys.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vannoj:
Looks like it's an update to the Google app, nothing related to Pure Nexus. I'm seeing some people on the Nexus 6P Reddit mentioning it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] FormeriPhoney:
Oh it's definitely not PN related. Just asked my buddy on his stock 6p & he is also missing it

Was there a baseband update with the February security update?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmpampis:

Tapatalked with my toasted Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Nope :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JokerAce:
I did the update just 4 hrs ago. The only thing I did was, Flash Latest PN (without wiping anything) > Flash Updated Vendor > Flash Ex Kernel > Reboot and profit. That's as dirty as it can get. Running fine for 4 hrs and counting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] geoff5093:
What's the difference? You can flash a factory image if you are stock, stock rooted, or running a custom ROM with xposed. Once you flash the factory image you are back to stock.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Fauert:
Still the BEST way, to avoid issues, is to make a CLEAN FLASH. Here is New vendor and New opdated PN (opdated GApps also) , so just saying ! :thumbup: :cool:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Poloasis:
Found the issue incoming calls not showing call in call management.

Settings-Apps-Apps options-default Apps Phone app, make sure it point to Phone app.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Hahaha "Saint Nathan", "Pure Nexus Guru", "Elite Recognized Contributor" you know all have a nice ring ;) :p just doing my part to help out!

Did you restore WhatsApp from a Titanium Backup? I am not having issues with any notifications.

Flash it again, if you did it before the ROM zip, it will override it (for whatever reason).

Go into Google app > Settings > Now cards and make sure Now on Tap is turned on.

1. Remove your Layers from within TWRP (Mount the vendor then go into Advanced > File Manager to delete them from /vendor/overlay).

2. Flash ROM, GApps, vendor all in TWRP in that order and you should be fine.

3. Doing your wipes (everything but internal storage in TWRP) is sufficient for removing systemless root. You would only do those steps if you were staying on a ROM.

I would flash ROM then vendor, you don't need to worry about GApps since once they are installed, they are backed up and updated via the Play Store. So just wipe cache and dalvik then flash ROM then vendor and reboot. Should be in my FAQ towards the bottom.

Nope, still on 02.50.

Does it happen on the stock theme? I can't reproduce on my end with Blacked Out!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] loserrahul:
With Stock theme, all works fine...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Have you already tried a clean install? If so, contact your theme developers as if it works with stock, it's a theme issue. All the themes I have used have no issues. You will also want to make sure you are using CM13 themes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jinded:
For me it's actually in Settings > Pure Nexus Settings > Media & Notifications.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] loserrahul:
It is happening with black out theme too.. I do clean install with every update with proper procedure.

Everything else just fine except this problem, weird issue atleast for me...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Oh yes, you are right, my bad haha. I don't use ambient display so I have no need to the toggle. Thanks for the heads up :)

[Nexus 6P Android Development] FormeriPhoney:

I ended up wiping cache, davlik and system.. Then flashing rom, new gapps and vendor. Seems to be OK so far.
