random things while we patiently wait for some Nougat flavored goodness on PN..

1. i was flipping through my google drive and stumbled upon a very old script back from my samsung fascinate days (4 years ago maybe?)where someone created a kernel cleaner zip.. totally wiped the old traces of custom kernels so custom kernels could be flashed on top of one another.. would that help anyone here who knows what they are doing create something like that for 6P so that we dont have to dirty flash to change custom kernels? EDIT, Original post here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1166954 .. i have the .zip file if downloads dont work.

2. not to sound condescending, but i went to the dark side for a few years after having and being flash crazy with my samsung fascinate.. this is my first android in 4 years.. i was on stock for a long time and decided to try flashing on here.. i went from being completely out of the loop for 4 years, to installing linux on my old PC, installing SDK, and flashing PN being totally clueless since being out of the loop...i had next to zero issues for years with my fascinate flashing from AOSP based, to CM based, to MIUI based .. i followed instructions to the tee.. i think so many problems with flashing come from not following instructions completely and in exact order... i have found back then, and now here that following 2 rules has kept me 99% issue free.. first, following exactly (no matter how much of a pain in the $#% it may be) what the instructions are.. and second, ALWAYS fully rebooting after flashing anything.. not the TWRP reboot.. but letting it come fully up, then rebooting one additional time..

3. most older APK's work on PN.. ive loaded and used several back from jellybean, kit kat, and lollipop.. security is always sketchy, but with the new permission kits, it makes it easy... ive loaded things such as the old stock email and exchange and others.. all but one that i have tried have worked.. i even have the old stock music player which works awesome with the new viper things..

4. please support your devs not only with donations and thanks, but with respect as well.. its hard to make things work flawlessly on this platform.. they do this because they want to, not because they have to or owe anyone anything.. we have a great community and kick *&^ devices because people are kind enough to take time to make epic things for us.. they stress more than you think when there is (or potentially is) a flaw pointed out in their work, or when they spend 3 hours of their time to try and make "xyz" mod work in their ROM after someone requested it, and they cant seem to get it right..

rock on, and keep it real..

I have a quick question for everyone. I read a few pages back there seem to be some issues going from Android n to pure Nexus. I'm interested in doing this. Since I'm on Android n, are there any issues to deal with or can I just flash the latest twrp and go from there?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tsuttie99:
If you have to say all that before stating your problem shouldn't that be enough to tell you to not click post?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Asitaka:
Did you ever try this on the 0821 build? I'm interested in adding Magisk to my phone as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TonyTurboII:
The official N BL/Radio, or the DP? If its the official, did you use a flashable zip? Im kind of skeptical on the zip, and the factory images arent on Googs website yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gqukyo:
I have magisk on the 8/21 build and it works fine
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Juzman:
The zip. I even downloaded the factory N and tried flashing the radio via adb but got a partition error.

Radio from DP5 works fine though.

Layers themes not working after latest update?

i keep trying everything reinstalling everything. nothing clicks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kipue:
Hey, try to delete the overlay file via recovery : go to Advanced in TWRP, file manager, then Data » System » then delete the overlay(.xml?) forgot the extension but just one file named overlay.

Then last time I had that issue, I used Titanium Backup to delete all the Layers APK (a lot of those). (the delete function in defaults manager of Substratum APK got stuck doing nothing, so TB worked)

Then tried to reaply a theme and it stuck.

Probably one of those steps is too much, but hey, it worked for me :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elfein7night:
Tried that. Still no success.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kipue:
hmmm dunno then. Try on a clean install, if you are not. Nandroid current, flash PN+GAPPS+SuperSU and nothing else, and try quickly.

Maybe something is wrong with another app or something?

If that don't work, you can still restore the backup. And if yes, you'll know :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
I don' know if you mis-spoke ( layers ) out of habit or not, but layers has been depricated in the newest build. You should be using Substratum to theme your phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Clark Joseph Kent:
Some one should clean this thread and address Members around here....

There is allot of non PN, type of items. And still those "when is PN getting updated" questions.

Disregard, done and should disable a few accounts...

Very Fast Battery Drain

I had dirty flashed my Nexus 6P with the latest zip(21/08) a couple days back with elementalX 1.21 and was having a horrible battery performance. I followed the FAQs and performed a

clean install(again, with Elementalx 1.21) but chose to update the apps through google play store and again while the apps were downloading and installing over wifi and

I was on a BBM call, I dropped 1% every 10-15 minutes.

I then installed BetterBatteryStats and followed the guide mentioned in the FAQs(3.10 in post#6) and am attaching screenshots here.

I am not using themes of any kind.

Kindly help/suggest.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Nothing too unusual. Except for Calendar sync and Google Play Services. I'd give it a couple of cycles before I call it an issue. Google Play Services usually settles down after a day or two.

After flashing a clean installation of PN 08/21 from Official N, my phone was awake for 3 hours and 21 minutes, courtesy of Google Play Services. Now it's back to sleeping like a baby.

Has anyone else using Android Auto figured out an automated way to get around the USB connection type issue? It was supposed to be fixed in this latest version of Pure Nexus, But isn't.

We are going to be on this version for awhile, and it is limiting how much I use it.

Any other work a rounds that you've found?

I finally tried out Android Auto on this new version yesterday and it worked fine. I did it twice.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elfein7night:
:D

THANK YOU! :) I Wasn't aware.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
So you aren't having to toggle your USB connection type between charging and MTP or Charging and File Transfer to get it connected?

Were you on the previous version that had this problem? Clean or dirty flash to the latest?

Thanks for answering.

Do you not just allow continuous contact sync in the Facebook app itself?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] masri1987:
I turned that on but it doesn't sync the photos of existing contacts
[Nexus 6P Android Development] krolla03:
I use SyncMe. I like this one because it lets you search for a profile if it cant match a name (Say if you have your contact Mom but her FB is her actual name) just make sure you turn off the annoying caller ID feature
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmwfrkvt:
Is anyone else missing voLTE after the august 3rd update? I no longer have the option under cellular networks and can't access internet during a call.

I checked the hidden phone settings and it shows "Turn off VOLTE provisioned flag
[Nexus 6P Android Development] outbackpaul:
Yeah, I had the issue with the previous version but it's working fine on the new version. I always clean flash.

In fact on the last version my battery life was pretty bad. It's perfect now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I also use sync me. Make sure that you set it up to only sync like once a week and on Wi-Fi.

Question: I am on Android N Stock. I really miss a few features of pure nexus, but I also have read a few people a few pages back saying they were getting stuck with endless bootloops when coming from N to latest PN, which is on MM, obviously. My question is will the possibility still exist to run into these issues if I just wait for PN to by updated to N? I don't mind N, just miss a few things, such as immersive mode. If I just wait for it to be updated to N, then go from stock N to PN N, then there shouldn't be any issues, right?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
I personally think you'll be fine. However, a clean flash cleanses a multitude of sins.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Clean flesh then reboob
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TheTrueGatorman:
Sometimes this feature has to be turned on, again, through Verizon. You can do this at the MyVerizon page.

How's the last Mm build running? I'm still on 8/3 build
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Great.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] V6iNSPIRE:
I used to have this problem. What fixed this for me was, I went into the APN settings. In my case I'm with T-Mobile. I made sure the APN type was IPv6 and roaming APN type is IPv4. Since then, I haven't had any problems. When I make a call it shows HD next to the call. If it doesn't work for you, I suggest a clean factory flash of latest MM from google. After you are stock,

Reflash twrp

Flash PN, GApps and then SuperSU.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kurt_cocaine:
I clean flashed the latest zip without ElementalX and didn't choose the google play restore option but am still getting a very poor battery performance- should I dirty flash again and give it a try hence? This is a bit saddening really :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blueren:
I remember that in google i/o they had mentioned things pertaining to direct boot etc etc. Are those available in the current official nougat release / AOSP ? Or is it something that will come with 7.1 as part of the maintenance branch. Can someone comment?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SimonNWalker:
I had the issue with Android Auto on the previous build and first updated with a dirty flash and the problem still existed.

You have to clean flash the new build to clean out the USB defaults.

I haven't had a problem ever since.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
According to their website, that is in 7.0.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rydako:
[IMG="Direct boot"]https://s13.postimg.org/yub80iejb/Capture.png[/IMG]

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but wouldn't it be more efficient to just google these things? Simple google search for direct boot brings up android dev documentation among other things stating that this is supported in 7.0.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blueren:
thankyou.

I appreciate the help. I was a bit confused because there were articles going around stating that some features that was portrayed earlier didn't actually make it to the current nougat release (eg, the google assistant) Hence the question.

Only issue I am having now is the bootlooping. -.-

Flashed stock 6.0.1 and booted.

Did a wipe, flashed PN, then booted. Restored nandroid. Bootloop.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] acelover:
Hi,

Today i decided to switch from 100% stock nougat to PN. Step i followed were as follows:

1. Unlocked bootloader

2. Twrp 3.0.2.1

3. Fomat userdata from bootloader

3. Adwance wipe system cache , dalvik and data.

4. Flash rom 8/21 build , gapps and vendor image.

5. Reboot

6. Back to recovery and flashed elemental X custom kernel.

Issue i am facing now is gravity/ orientation sensor is not working. I tried NFS most wanted racing and Doodle jump. As well screen is not rotating in any of the apps.

I can assure that it was working fine when i was on Nougat.

Is there any way to fix this? Any setting that am missing or any step i forgot while moving to PN.

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

Edit : Complete wipe and clean flash, things are working fine now. Could be issues with any third party app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] johnandbodhi:
no such problems here.. wiped everything but internal storage, flashed mm latest vendor and then restored my nandroid which also contained vendor..no problems at all..back and forth three times..once complete stock, then with ninja kernel, then francos..like PN too much..can now wait comfortably..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Juzman:
FML. Will keep trying. Will do a full wipe, flash fresh PN and make sure it boots. Then try restore nandroid.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
The issue probably is restoring to a backup instead of a clean flash. I also came from N to PN through a clean flash, no issues.

You didn't restore from Nandroid after clean flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
As a big fan of boobs can you please tell me where the settings/setup steps for boobs are? I currently don't have any on my phone and would be very, very interested in installing them, esp. if I can reboob my phone and enjoy many different varieties. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I'll see myself out now....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Nope. A clean flash is a clean flash for me. Besides with Titanium, ROM settings and Nova, it only takes me a couple of minutes to setup.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Juzman:
I used fastboot, and flashed back to stock MTC20F. Now phone comes on, gets "Google", then reboots.

FML.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
The nandroid may have ****ed you. Have you tried going to N again and doing a clean flash from there?

What I did was, from N - flashed vendor, advanced wipe, flash PN and GApps then boot.

There's an ongoing issue with rolling back to MM from PN. So much so that some have given up and just asked for a replacement from Google. Nougat seems to repartition some system files making the downgrade to Marshmallow temper mental.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Juzman:
Yeah, I keep trying to sideload the OTA zip, there's no factory N images yet. :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Curiousn00b:
What if you guys just use Wugfresh Toolkit to rollback? ?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Yeah. They are taking their sweet time on angler.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cink40:
Fastboot Flash latest mm stock, apply for beta and you immediately receive 7.0. I done that...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Correct. A little OT here and there isn't an issue in Bean's threads (been that way for years), but the disrespect, language, etc is what's not welcome.

There are at least half a dozen Moderators who use or frequent PN, if anything needs to be addressed, it'll be handled :D

Back to the "MM PN is so good, no one likes stock N, and can't wait for PN N"....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cink40:
Well I like stock N very much, I have no doubt that PN N will be better, but N stock is really good. So Beans may ? take his time ??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Juzman:
I would, but am on a mac. :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Curiousn00b:
I see, have you tried wiping everything partition completely?

Tried stock N for a few days but just not the same as PN, the battery life on PN is a thousand times better and N still a little glitchy here and there... Thanks for this great ROM I've tried plenty for the 6p and this one tops them all
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cink40:
Well, not my experience. On N si battery even better then on PN
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Gizmoe:
Yeah they are. I bet something went wrong. I'm on stock flashed MM image then upgraded through beta. I have never had bad battery life or random reboots on any stock image, but on N I suffer from both. I want to flash the fresh image just to see if it's the same but it looks like the factory image may change before they release it. I can't see why else their top flagship is still in waiting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cink40:
Well, not a single reboot or FC and excellent battery cca 6 hours SOT in 3 days while on N...very good experience.

Post# 2 section 10. Flash factory image back to stock.

Then sign up for the Beta N . I don't have the link but it will automatically start downloading.

But be warned if u make the move to N and u try to go back to 6.0.1 you take a chance of boot looping with no fix ..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hatimalyami:
Beta N, so it's not good now ? should I wait for full N ? and thanks my friend for quick reply
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RyomaEchizen:
No no. If you sign now for "beta N test program" you receive Android Nougat final version instantly. Google is updating first users of the beta N test program. It's a trick

Maybe if you don't that you have to wait 1 week to receive Android N OTA

[Nexus 6P Android Development] scoot0073:
It's up to u honestly to go via OTA or wait for Google to post the N image.

Personally I'm glad I made to move to N .

The OTA that I received was the full OTA 1.4 gb. I believe was the size.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
My OTA was 75mb from dev edition.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] scoot0073:

Probably a dumb question

OK, I've been doing this for years, and probably doing it wrong, so this is probably a dumb question. I'm kind of gathering that when you do a clean flash you have "automatically restore applications from Google" (or whatever that option in settings really is) turned off, and then you restore "applications and data" in Titanium? I've (undoubtedly stupidly) been letting Google download all my apps, which takes forever, then restore some key app data, restore Nova settings, restore K-9 settings, set up widgets, etc., which ends up taking hours. Have I really been wasting all that time? Thanks...

I've always done a clean flash using an otg usb stick. I wipe everything in twrp including system and internal storage. Download all apps from the playstore again. There are a few things I restore from a backup like Nova Launcher settings, sms, and textaid backups. It takes awhile but I have zero problems. I always take a hot shower while downloading apps from the playstore.

Battery Drain

I have been monitoring it for a day and so now and under 'alarms' in BBS I see that "com.google.android.gms" eats up a lot of battery! I also noticed that Google Play services and DMService aren't optimized under "battery optimization". Could google play services be the real reason behind the battery drainage? How do I optimize google play services under battery optimization? None of the google results seem to work.

I tried to edit google.xml to include

<!-- <allow-in-power-save package="com.google.android.gms" /> --> as a comment but couldn't save it.

Also, PowerManagerService.Display eats up a lot of battery.

Any suggestions?

I'm getting issues with Substratum on last build (08/21). Boot animations, sound packs and fonts work fine, but for some reasons I can't apply any overlay.

Storage and phone permissions are set, root access is granted both for substratum app and masquerade. No error when compiling themes (I tried Dark Material and Deity) but still, I don't have any overlay at all in System/third-party sections. "Build and enable" and "Build and update" do nothing basically, even after restarting SystemUI or a full reboot.

I'm quite new to Substratum but I used it before on stock Nougat ROM and I had no issue whatsoever. Any idea?
