The bit I don't follow is the vendor image.. I downloaded one from Google and it is a .tgz file, do I have to flash that via TWRP? Sorry, this all seems different to any other nexus!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Here is the flashable vendor.img from the OP. Download that and flash it in TWRP.

Also PN has always been welcoming to OT posts. As long as there isn't any fighting, you are free to discuss any topic.

Hell, we've talked about NFL matches on here. At least the battery thing is still phone related. And would probably help someone.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] slaydog:
Like I said, I didn't want to hijack the thread with too much OT stuff, but since people do frequently come into the development threads to complain about battery life, it's probably good to tell people the only real solution at this point, lol...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] C5Longhorn:
I'm glad the battery info was posted here. I'm on the latest PN build but am also really starting to experience degraded battery performance.

Hey guys. I posted awhile back about my battery dieing. Well I just wanted to say I'm back in the game with another 6p. I got a frost 62gb for $250 on Craigslist. I joined the beta and upgraded to Oreo. It's awesome!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] glhelinski:
just changed my battery this weekend. wasn't too bad but i couldn't seem to keep my finger off the power button so 7 times the phone started up during the process. added several minutes to the whole thing. worst part was getting the battery out...that sucker was really glued in there.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] burningcreation:
I watched a YouTube video on the process and I'm really nervous about doing it. Did you use a playing card to unstick the glue under the battery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] radionerd:
Sweet!

Mine turned on a zillion times too ;)

Cool!

Dude, Actually the battery is the easiest part.

If you can remove the bottom cover, top glass cover, split the case without cracking or marring anything, or breaking any retaining clips in the frame, or switches. You will now be proclaimed ninja immediately!

Just buy all the stuff your gonna break. Use a spudger and pry the battery up. If it bends a bit, whoopy, it's junk. I missed that part when I did mine. Bending a "toasted" battery is much better than cutting through the digitizer cable like I did.:cyclops:. Just carefully pry it up on the left side with a spudger. Use something like a credit card. Slide back and forth underneath going in about 1.5 inchs max. Look at the videos. Don't do like me, and cut through the ribbon. I knew that!

Once through the left side, continue to peal it up on the left side until you can peak an eye:cyclops: in underneath viewing the ribbon. Then push your tool over the ribbon and work it the rest of the way out. :good:

Good luck!

Anyone know how to get rid of the Android system update notification? I just flashed this rom and have everything set up and I am getting the notification to update to Android 8.0. I went into developer options and turned off automatic system updates and I ensured I am not enrolled for Android beta program. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NateK:
I used an old credit card and that approach worked well for me.

I'll agree with other posters and say that was the easy part. For me the bottom plastic removal was difficult as was the aluminum case removal (I used all 10 guitar pics I had on hand). The visor also went fairly smoothly for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I'm no dev, but this is the best I can do.

I'm just kidding :p

Beans has a G+ linked in the CHANGELOG in OP where most PN users make their feature requests. That'd be your best bet of him seeing it.

I just received a notification to update to Android 8.0. I'm surprised I received it as I'm running the latest PN build.

Anyone else receive this?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] boolim:
Will we continue to get month security release with pn or will we go straight to oreo pn?

Current pn release is not the August security release right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] srancier:
I did too. I am tempted to go to stock Oreo, but I love PN sooo much. How involved is it to take the OTA?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
If you're planning to go to Oreo I recommend flashing the factory image and doing a factory reset rather than using the OTA. 8.0 contains some pretty big changes and simply taking the OTA may lead to issues, especially if you install it over top of a custom ROM like PN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] C5Longhorn:
Is there an easy way to clear the 8.0 update notification? I'm going to hold off until PN 8.0 but would like to get rid of the notification.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DowntownRDB:
[MENTION=3820721]srancier[/MENTION] I decided to give Oreo a try. Flash backed to latest Nougat stock build and booted up. All working great. Then flashed Oreo and set up as new phone without loading any additional apps, etc. After 2 full days of use and my battery losing 5-6% an hour while idling I was a bit upset. Installed Wakelock Detector and after a half day did not detect anything negative. Couldn't live with this so flashed back to latest radio from Nougat. Didn't seem to help. Installed CPU Spy and the phone was definitely going into deep sleep but it kept sucking battery up like a top fuel dragster sucks up nitro.

So I said enough is enough. Flashed PN 7.1.2 back on phone and again set it up as a new phone. After being back on PN my battery usage is back to previous norm of losing only 2% overnight and I'm back to getting 3.5 SOT. I'm definitely waiting on PN Oreo before moving up again. [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] must do lots of magic in his ROM and Kernel compared to stock ROM/Kernel based on my recent experience.

Just wanted to share my experience. May be totally different for others.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xryousukex:
You can hold down the notification, and then block all google play services notification from showing up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Did you give WakeBlock a try to limit stuff like location updates and block unnecessary wakelocks? I tried Oreo the other day and WakeBlock does work, it just takes about 20 minutes to install the core mod... After installing it and limiting my usual stuff I was losing ~1.5-2% per hour, which is pretty good without giving it a few days to settle, but I was missing the freedom and mods that PN gave me, so I reinstalled N and restored my backup.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pipnmike:
It seems like there is definitely activity going on from his side so hopefully we'll see something this month!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
There's a reason I've followed Nate through 3 devices, and THIS is one of them :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DowntownRDB:
[MENTION=4670411]Az Biker[/MENTION] I have used PN on 2 devices and unfortunately the "forces on the dark side" sucked me in to trying stock Oreo just to see what it was all about. My lesson learned reminds me of how Nate's ROMs are always top notch and definitely worth waiting for (sometimes its hard to be patient when you get the flash fever) so I'll just be waiting in the wings for its release and helping my grandson set up his Note 8. Tried to get him to hold out for the Pixel 2XL but teens seem to know it all. LOL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sharkie405:
I'm in the same boat as a lot of you. I was on stock Nougat since having bought my 6P. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't really get the urge to flash custom ROMs. Then I tried Oreo, and my battery life went to sh!!. I decided to go back to Nougat. Then I was like, well if I'm going backwards, I may as well try out some custom ROMs this time around. I tried Dirty Unicorn first, but there were some things I didn't like. Then I tried Resurrection Remix and that was better, but still not quite what I was looking for. Then I tried Pure Nexus and eureka, I found what I was looking for -- The stable stock look with just the right amount of mods. My battery life is back to normal as well. I too will be waiting for an Oreo version of Pure Nexus in the hopes that it will treat my phone better than stock Oreo did.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] teohguangli:
I have just flashed this ROM and now it has this notification asking me to update to 8.0.0 how can I remove it? Nothing happens when tapping on it. I do not want to block notifications for Google Play Services.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] garnet&gold:
Try going into settings/developer options and turn off automatic system updates

[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
hey guys, anyone around here having any issues with substratum theming ?

i have some issues with Mono and Belo, i purchased these both.

my fave themes, and are the ones i use the most.

and since well over 2 weeks ago , i get this weird issue when i decide to select a different color for accent/or change

what i get is, the screen darkens/dims deep blackish and only my statusbar/navbar are barely visible, this has not only happened with Belo and Mono though, it can also happen with other themes when i decide to choose a different preset other than stock ..

for instance when i don't change/tweak any colors in lets say Belo/Mono, the default sets theme colors etc. just fine and works.

but the moment i try to tweak it abit to my liking i get that dark screen and i am forced to go to recovery and flash the substratum rescue zip..

anyone have the issue?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
3 days later than before you asked this question now.

Damnit.

:(:p

Instead of going into recovery, try doing a full reboot of the phone.

I'm using Amazed Navbars, Battery Icon Mods, and PitchBlack Origins without any issues at all. As soon as one shows up, I double check the Overlays list, and usually find out I've screwed up somewhere (multiple versions of one overlay activated at once, wrong version for an app installed), and if everything looks right, a full reboot will usually fix it.

If not, try uninstalling the theme and reinstalling it.

I'm also occasionally using Flux, SubSet Reborn, and Swift Dark. Navigate and Awesome Navbars hit my device now and then too. No issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
Thanks for the info mate, it seems though that the issue was the rom i was using..

i was away from pn because i was spoiled with the fingerprint unlock feature haha.

it's good to be back on PN, i came back extra to check if I'll have the theme issue on PN, and nope no issues!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ILuvRice:
I am getting the same thing and I don't want to block all Google play notifications either. I even made sure that automatic updates is unchecked in developer options. What I have found to work temporarily is to freeze 'google play services' using titanium backup and then immediately unfreeze it. This makes the notification go away for hours at a time and as of today, I've only had to do it once so far and I've been up since 0630 in the morning.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joshnat:
This didn't work for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] srancier:
Ok...ok...ok.... You are right... I just wanted to try Oreo so bad, but you have talked me off the ledge. I too love PN and have not been off of it since I had my 6P... i will be patient.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] budeone:
Ha Ha , thats why I just checked in. I am not putting anybody's Oreo on his phone. I amd waiting for BT.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] C5Longhorn:
Doesn't Nate use multiple devices? I see PN available for Pixels, etc.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yorllin:
Hold your finger on the notification and select block.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Yes, but I only use one device at a time :p

When he stopped development for the Note 3, I waited a while (about 14 months) until I was ready to buy a device he was already working on.

That was the 6P... Nate's final Note 3 build (Alliance) was so good, it lasted nearly a year and a half before the device felt like it was getting old...

So I'll keep running this until he starts devving a device that I want to replace the 6P with.

Maybe the Pixel 2 XL???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] C5Longhorn:
Ah, ok, you make sure you have a Nate supported device [emoji3] Got it, I'm thinking about a Pixel 2 also.

To the people who changed your battery. Does the phone not randomly shut off? The used 6p I bought dies at around 25% planning on changing this battery but wanted to ask
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lexmazter:
My Nexus 6P also dies around 25% and has around 1h SOT. Just bought a battery and I'm planning on getting it changed next week. AccuBattery estimates that I have 60% capacity on my battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mswal2846:
I got a new battery about 2 weeks ago and no shut downs. Also, it took almost a week for it to settle down, but getting decent life on MY normal use.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cloud36426:
All the batteries I looked at were around $12 which seems cheap to me. Worried about getting a bad one. I don't want to have to open this thing up but once. If you don't mind how much was yours and where did you purchase it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mswal2846:
Yea, I was worried about that also and I really didn't want to deal with taking the phone apart (although I don't think it's all that hard, I just didn't want to deal with it). So I took mine to ubreakifix (www.ubreakifix.com). It cost $100 and you get a 90 day warranty and can take it to any of their stores if you have a problem away from home (I travel every week) .... this is US based.

They were very close to my home and had Saturday and Sunday hours. I'm sure they may be cheaper solutions....

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arcide:

For those starving for Android O Pixel Launcher Features with Pure Nexus, I stumbled on this really cool modded Pixel Launcher that has tons of Android O and Custom Features like changing icon packs for example.

Its called Lawnchair and can found here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/lawnchair-customizable-pixel-launcher-t3627137/page201

The bleeding edge latest version of Lawnchair can found here: https://lawnchairmirror.duckdns.org/latest/

Just download the apk, install, make Lawnchair the default Home app.

Enable the Weather option in Lawnchair settings Pixel UI, go into this launchers settings by long pressing the Home screen and tap Settings.

No, stick to the included kernel for a few days so that you have something to compare the others with.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
You can't tell - vendors have to re-stock and may use a different supplier.

If you want a Cameron Sino battery, the safest way is probably to by directly from their website.

I bought my replacement before the Cameron Sino hype and went for this one. Six months later, it's still going strong.

Unfortunately, it's now out of stock, but this one looks like it's the same battery.

Both have thick ribbon cables & temperature sensors and look exactly the same as the original.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jaladhjin:
I will I just wasn't sure if flashing them after a rom install might be bad or something.

If you're at all familiar with a kennel tweak app known as Trickster do you know if it's capable of editing most PN kernel settings?

It seems like a lot of kernel tweak apps like EX are designed for specific kernels.

Even if they work with others. It seems odd to use them off their intended kernel.
