What I've done and what I do since I have my phone. If you don't care about Android Pay then the steps are exactly the same as before.

1. Flash PureNexus

2. Wipe Dalvik/cache

3. Flash vendor

4. Flash your custom Kernel (optional)

5. Reboot and enjoy.....

Hey Nathan, I'm keep reading about the clean flash of the 1/3 build and if we didn't then we should for the new update! Why?

to be honest I dirty flashed the last 5 builds (back from 6.0) and I don't have any issues!

One more thing, some say that before a new flash we have to deactivate all of the passwords, fingertips/lockscreen that we have! Why? Why? Why?

I'm keep asking because as I said, I've never done something like that and I don't have any issues at all.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Well for one, I am quoting Beans on the latest install post. Second, the 1/3 was a rebase (complete changing of the underlying code), so dirty flashing that over a previous installation runs the risk of having some major issues. If you don't have any, that is great but Beans himself recommended a clean install of 1/9 if you didn't do it for 1/3, so that is what I am passing on.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmpampis:
Then maybe on the next build I'm gonna make a clean flash ?!

I have been getting this Optimizing apps message every time I install something from recovery. Consider around 175 apps including system apps I have it takes around 30-45 mins to boot my device. I am running the latest Jan 9th release with original kernel that comes with the rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
When you install something (is it everything you install?), do you wipe caches? Wiping dalvik cache causes that optimizing screen.

I have followed all of your guides to install PN, Android Pay and now i am using Viper 4 Android. Thanks a lot for your help

I reverted back to system root because i am not using Android Pay any more. Now, only missing item is Layers.

Could you please guide me to install Layers correctly with PN. I am in new 01/09 Build with System Root, Element X and Viper 4 Android.

I tried installing Layers Manager from Play Store but i tried to install any theme. It's showing not compatible message
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Glad they were useful :) Make sure you have the Layers Manager Beta, as all of the popular themes need it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
This rom is awesome with latest AK Kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] surenther.ss:
[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION]

I already have this beta version but when i am clicking any layer theme its showing " My Android Version is not supported". I already filtered only M supported Layers. Can i ignore and install those themes?.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Oh in the showcase? Yeah I think that may be bugged. Just read the Play Store listing and it should tell you if it is M compatible.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tweeny80:
May I suggest that within the Layers Manager you click the 'Get Theme' button - it takes you to Play Store page for that theme. Within the written description authored by layer creator you find whether in fact it supports Android 6.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] surenther.ss:
Thanks will try. If I broke anything will follow your guide to restore again [emoji12]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] E30Nova:
Did you just use layers or did you use different gapps? I've dealt with the bright white apps because I didn't know there were dark ones. I can't stand white apps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I believe he uses both. Here are Team Black Out's Black GApps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Poloasis:
Ok, geez, 3 days of flashing can drain someone and I got the phone for 3 days lol. I got systemless root with Android Pay working. Just to recap on Xposed frmaework, if installed it will it break Android Pay correct or is there a way they can coexist together?

I'm also getting ready to play RRO theme with theme manager and I just joined the beta testing program, I have flashed osm0sis Busybox Installer during the PN 1.09.16 setup. I'm I good to go with Layers?

Again thank you guys.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I have heard some people claiming to have AP working with Xposed but I just don't believe it. Xposed should break Android Pay. Yes, you should be go for Layers.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Millz120:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] heleos:
Go look at [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] 's posts in this thread, he's only explained it about 10 times
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
MMB29T is the build number of the AOSP branch 6.0.1_r10 on which the ROM is based. The blobs and vendor is from MMB29P. See here for more info.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Quie2TP:
I just can't get layers to work right on this build. I did a clean flash and using the beta version. I select magpie framework dark material and it doesn't look right.

I also deleted the overlay folder to make sure everything was clean.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] union122:
How do you change the status icons for WiFi and extras like that? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Layers, some themes change the look of those icons.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] veedubrocks:
Hey. Awesome Rom. Just wanted to say that I came from previous build and dirty flash ROM and vendor only and everything is running smooth.

People need to start reading and being patient around here. Too many same question being asked. Just saying.

Excellent ROM
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Agreed. Not to get off topic but I see a lot of people ask questions that were literally answered on the previous page.. wish people would take the time to read the previous 5 pages before asking a question. It'll prob have been asked and answered 95% of the time :cowboy:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] android4life92:
BEST ROM!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
I had problems with Magpie as well. Finally gave up and replaced with Prime and of course annihilation domination.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
I used Team BlackOut themed zips to add to the minimal, dynamic Gapps posted by Beans, plus used some of the zips from Thyrus and [MENTION=4603975]daveyannihilation[/MENTION] to round out the set of apps.

Layers I'm using include mainly Domination Donate theme and Material Glass, plus a few from Crystaltronik, and Dark Material from chummy development (only layers theme that'll even touch apps like Google Docs, etc...their app themes everything).

Best one I've used is the xposed required "Flat Style Bar Indicators". Since I want AP to work, I had to forgo xposed and I miss that mod the most. Lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ramone360:
Is this correct for AP to work? I used supersu 2.66
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, just need to make sure to delete /su/xbin_bind if it exists and reboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Yeah, but I look at it this way, first of all, in this thread, the dev encourages a positive attitude, and doesn't want folks arguing, and lecturing fellow users is rarely a good idea (I've done it, and sometimes regret it)...many of us here that help others have really only a few options...provide an answer, bereft of negativity...and yes, that means even if it's been asked on the prior page...answer with maybe just a dash of venom, but if the asker is not being unreasonable (like, "hey dev, could you do a bunch of extra work for me, because, well, I love putting work on you"), why be negative?

We can link to a previous post, of which [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] seems to be doing more, and that helps keep down the clutter.

Or, we can just ignore the request, but then that goes against the spirit of wanting to help others.

The alternative really sucks...posting a reply to the user, but not answering the question, yet attacking the requesting party...which, put bluntly, is just retarded...I've seen threads where users will attack a person asking a question, stating how it ramps up the post count, never stopping to realize that said attack is...wait for it...amping the post count. That seems the worst scenario.

I'm sum, I'd rather see answers and help with a bit of fun tossed into the mix over a negative vibe any day.

Sorry for the noob question, but I tried searching, I guess the search function is broken right now.

I can't figure out how to flash the vendor img. I downloaded the 1/09 vendor from the OP, but it's a zip file. There's no .img file in it, so I tried renaming it as .img, but it won't flash. Fastboot just says "error: cannot load vendor.img"

Sorry for being a noob, this is my first Nexus device... :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Just flash that zip file in TWRP. That is all you need to do.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] samarrss:
No I don't do wipes for dirty flash and other stuffs. I only use wipes when I go for clean install. Even though I am getting 30-45 minutes 'optimizing apps' screen. Because of this reason I am always scared to go to recovery. Plz anyone have the solution for this.

Can somebody help me? No matter what permissions I set in gmail (all at the moment), I can't seem to get attachments to send on this ROM.

Good on you for trying to search! Did you wipe system, data, cache and dalvik? Which GApps did you use?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Oh hey neighbor lol. And I just tested with my account. What GApps did you use? Have you tried a clean install lately? Maybe try removing your Google account and re-adding it.

Thanks Neighbor, I'm going to try both and get back. May take me a few. Appreciate the response!

That's an error I've gladly not seen in months, and I'm most pleased by that fact, though it doesn't help your situation.

What Gapps are you running? If you're on either the 12/09/2015 or 01/09/2016 recommended Gapps, you should be fine and not be having that issue.

Well, somethings not right... I did full wipe, flashed ROM, dynamic Gapps, Elemental, and new vendor... getting GP services unknown error and cannot connect to 4G. Should I got back to previous vendor?? I'm lost now.

EDIT1: redo entire process again... my GP services shows as -440, that doesn't seem right :-/

EDIT2: working fine now, NO idea what went haywire with the new Dynamic Gapps!

FINAL EDIT: Working GREAT. I did nothing significantly different, but I did also format the partitions, including data. I also flashed newest vendor LAST, but that shouldn't matter
[Nexus 6P Android Development] letzgostate:
Thanks. I did and enabled the toggle switch but still didn't work. Im running the last pure nexus version so I'm in the process of upgrading to the newer one with the newer gapps. I'll see if that helps any and report back--making sure to double check the permission toggle again. I really appreciate your help!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Did you flash vendor first?

I've not gotten any of these errors, but I did a wipe of system only...not data...as I only changed Gapps and rom build of PureNexus, not rom A to rom B (like from DU to PureNexus, etc).

You may want to consider restoring your backup and only wiping system...or dirty flashing the rom if staying on the older Gapps.

Are you using the AOSP Dialer or Google Dialer? I have no problem with speaker or microphone...though I hardly ever use a phablet that way, inasmuch as I prefer Bluetooth...I make a ton of phone calls with this device, and don't like holding what amounts to a paperback novel to my face.

Whatever one comes with the ROM and dynamic Gapps, I want to say the AOSP version. I am testing with other apps right now as well, but it seems I cant even do voice search.

Edit: Ok so I tried a few other apps. Video works fine because it is using rear microphone. I cannot do voice search. I tried a vocie recording app and I noticed it only peaks when I blow really hard into front mic on bottom speaker grill. Listening to the playback it is extremely fuzzy and you can't hear anything unless I am loud, however most of it is blocked out by the fuzziness. ﻿

That is expected, the GApps are pretty minimal. Go download them from the Play Store.

General rule of thumb: unless it is a rebase or clean install is specifically recommended (check the update post), a dirty flash should be okay. Just make a backup then flash the ROM zip and reboot. If you run into any problems, you should clean flash before reporting issues.
