PLEASE READ YOUR APPLICABLE PROCESS AND UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING. ALSO READ THE LATEST UPDATE POST AND THIS FAQ, IT HAS SOME GOOD INFO IN IT.

Pre-requisites:

An unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed. Use this guide if you need assistance with this (just read the beginning of the guide, follow sections 1 and 2, then come here).

Which path do I choose? Clean install or dirty flash?

Dirty flash

: If you are already on a Pure Nexus official build AND NOT flashing across Android versions (6.x.x to 7.x.x). Please check the update post linked about though. This keeps your apps and their data intact.

Clean install

: When you have problems with dirty flashing, when coming from another custom ROM, stock Android, a personal Pure Nexus build, OR when required (check the update post).

Always do a clean install before reporting issues :)

How to dirty flash:

Download the latest Pure Nexus zip, your choice of root zip (optional), and your custom kernel (optional) onto your phone.

Boot into TWRP and make a backup (remove any lock screen security before this, optional but HIGHLY recommended).

Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional).

Update your vendor image (only need to do this once per build number).

Flash Pure Nexus zip.

Flash root (optional).

Flash custom kernel (optional).

Reboot and profit.

How to clean install:

Download the latest Pure Nexus zip, Beans GApps, your choice of root zip (optional), and your custom kernel (optional) onto your phone.

Backup any important data.

Boot into TWRP and make a backup (remove any lock screen security before this, optional but HIGHLY recommended).

Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache in Wipe > Advanced Wipe.

Update your vendor image (only need to do this once per build number).

Flash Pure Nexus zip.

Flash GApps zip.

Flash root (optional).

Flash custom kernel (optional).

Reboot and profit.

yep as long as you use the purenexus gapps :)

Sweet, can't wait to flash
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
Should be less than 15, i just posted op so i could edit accordingly for the new device while the rom uploaded

Gapps Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982086990725

For now it is highly advised to use the purenexus gapps as they are the only Arm64 gapps currently available that don't have any bugs and include the New Camera App!!

As always if you like my work dont forget to vote the thread 5 stars and hit that thanks button.

Donations are always appreciated but never required Donate link
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ofthecats:
The op explains to flash latest vendor image. Is this still necessary in light of the vendor you mention here?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
yes, the 5x and 6p has proprietary files in two locations vendor partition(vendor.img) and sytem partition(the ones i included in rom)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] donroja:
Awesome to see you here Beans, just convinced me to get this phone!

I can confirm no LTE while on a call with vzw.

However hotspot worked, and everything else seems to work great as well.

Haven't tried VolLte, not sure if it's supported where I live.

I understand that you only have 19 posts so maybe it's not obvious, but 9 times out of 10 a question has been asked already.

I don't mean to come across as a jerk, but sometimes a little reading is all that's needed. This thread is short compared to what it will be, so do yourself a favor, read the thread, learn something, and then help someone else out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] igotjshoe:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] cmo220:
Amazing. Page 19 and it's already turning into this. I remember how impressed I was when I noticed this ROM on the Nexus 6. There were 150 pages at the time. I read all of them and only saw one somewhat rude post. It continued that way too.

Beans has great ROMs but also great threads. He doesn't get an attitude with users, and that usually carries over to the users not getting attitudes with each other. People used to come in and ask questions even about other ROMs because it was the one place to get help without being screamed at. There was also a lot of off topic. I really hope this thread will be the same! People really should read and try to learn before asking questions. But if someone does ask something you think is stupid, just ignore it instead of starting a fight. Thanks!

Vendor IMG question

Is is necessary to have the latest vendor img? I cant seem to figure out why its not flashing, it just says waiting for device... (been like this for 10 minutes)

Is it bad to not have the latest vendor img? and is there something different I need to do to flash this over? eg be in recovery mode?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmitty166:
Is your phone in fastboot? Aka bootloader? It should be detected right away with the SDK drivers in fastboot.

It appears as though the phone is booted up, otherwise adb devices wouldn't show any result. Fastboot devices is the command in fastboot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cmo220:
You need to be in bootloader mode for that to work. It looks like you aren't. Adb devices wouldn't work if you were. Reboot to bootloader (Turn off, then power + Volume down). Type fastboot devices and make sure it sees the phone. Then do the flash command again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tcat007:
I'm on another rom, but just flashed your gapps ?, only thing I noticed is when power button is set to hang up a call it doesn't. Was working on Banks Gapps. Not sure if that's a "Phone" or "Dialer" issue, just thought I'd mention it. Much prefer your gapps, thank you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aSquard:
I'm sure this is stoopid early to ask about this, but any plans to include the Google Dialer? It's super handy as I'm sure you all know...

+1 on the dt2w on the lower region. (dirty) will clean flash this weekend and report back
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ohlin5:
Quick pulldown is working fine for me. And how are you getting dt2w? That isn't a stock option, is it? Are you using a custom kernel for that? Unless I'm totally out of the loop here, which is entirely possible lol...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bsg411:
Yes I'm using a custom kernel but it is also in the settings in the display section. I'm not sure what could be causing the quick pulldown not to work...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ohlin5:
Interesting. Yeah I'm not sure either. Very odd.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] apollo40_1:
Updated vom 21/11 to 01/12 without any Problems. Made a dirty Flash with xposed installed.

So far so good, no problems till now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
My Nexus 6P is doing this, all stock with systemless root and TWRP. Can't find a solution
[Nexus 6P Android Development] stalls:
I cant seem to delete or move anything with file explorer. Keeps saying failed..... Also I cant seem to download anything. It is always queued... Is there a setting im missing in this Rom or is it something else im missing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dex2grigg:
Come on then lads whats your favourite dpi
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jrbxx7:
Im loving 520 currently
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I'm getting 5:20 to 5:45 SOT stock.

No alternate Kernels, no Xposed installed at all.

My secret? Turn of syncing. I've got syncing off for almost everything. I leave it on for Google Fit, Google Opinion Rewards, and photos but only when on WiFi. I turn the rest off and sync them when I make changes. Want to check my email? Open it and pull down to get the latest. Want to add or delete a contact? Add or delete and sync. Make calendar changes? Sync after the changes. That's it. I'm on WiFi at home most of the time, but at work I'm never on it as it is super slow. I stream bluetooth in my car and at home in the mornings, and on the way home with navigation and screen on the whole time for my 53 minute commute each way. This is with watching a few youtube or facebook videos during the day, farting around on FB during lunch and such, checking my email 6 or 7 times through the day, hangout messaging my wife/son/bosses and a few friends, and regular Amazon browsing and internet research for stuff.

I'd get 4 hours on my LGG3 doing the same thing, my Nexus 5 before that was also usually better than others, and for the same reason.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] brbbX:
I accidentaly installed the project fi dialer (I thought it would work even tough I don`t have project fi), and now I'm getting lots of force closes in the process com.android.phone..

Do I have to wipe to get rid of it, or is there any way of undoing the changes flashing something else?

Thank you very much!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] likonvampire:
I installed it too and it is working just fine , I don't even have project Fi . Try clearing cache and dalvik in recovery
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inffy:
I get thet 5hours even with sync with email (three exchange + 1 gmail) on. Actually pretty much every sync is on.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gottifour:
400 at the moment. You?

Also changing the DPI is probably the most important root option for me on all ROMs!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] brbbX:
I cleared cache and dalvik in recovery and still got the force closes.

I flashed the latest pure nexus release on top of that, and the force closes are gone.

However, I would really like to have the google dialer with the caller id, but mine simply doesn't have that option in the settings to turn on google caller id. Is there a flashable zip to add that?

Thanks a lot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Persianhawkes:
Is there a changelog somewhere for the new build?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
This is very useful, as you've provided context.

To me, screen on time without context is as useless of an indicator of battery life as, well, battery life.

When I see folks post screen shots of screen on time in excess of 5 hours, I want to know exactly what that user is doing with his or her phone, and also what tweaks they have used.

I am on 4-6 hangouts per day, as well as posting on the forums via Tapatalk, composing short emails, writing, sending messages, etc...in other words, if the screen is on, I'm interacting with my screen. Period. And, I'm never on WiFi while at the office, and my cell signal quality fluctuates depending on where I may be located at a given time of day.

I've yet to see a smartphone, Android or otherwise, where someone can do the above for 6-8 straight hours. Add in a reboot cycle of three, and you'll tank your phone's battery life even faster.

Screen on time has gotten to be as ridiculous as benchmarks.

No matter what one does, every kernel and rom dev can only slow the pace of drain while your screen is off...while it's on, it's dropping, and rapidly if put to heavy use.

It's in the most oblique of places...but I'll share it with you, if you promise not to tell...

The items that have been changed is as discrete as the location of the changelog...

You can also check the pending features list of one of the other popular roms on this forum to get an equivalent list of that which has been harvested from this rom.

Need some help. After coming from Chroma, I seem to now have my Data encrypted when it wasn't before. Is this part of the rom? Did I select something during setup that encrypted my data (like requiring pin on startup? Is the only way to decrpyt is by using Fastboot and formatting userdata?

Attached. I am not the creator, no credit to me. I apologize to the creator as I do not immediately recall their username.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 83097markcynt:
Try those steps but flash this zip from AzraelsKiss for root. It adds a script to install the /data/.supersu config file (which allows SuperSU to install as systemless) then runs the SuperSU installation.

I see mitchdickson posted this info already but at least now proper credit is given
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chrisexv6:
Might sound like an obvious thing but make sure you type the echo command AFTER wiping, since the file would disappear during the wipe process.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] thesticks00:
Hey guys. I am currently on the Revolution Remix Rom (RR). The Rom still has issues with the BT stuttering. Is that an issue that is present in the current build in this Rom? Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] EXV:
No stutter at all, even with WiFi on. I hated that stutter on CM ROMs and that's the reason I'm sticking with PN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thesticks00:
Thank you for the heads up. I was on PN at one point then took RR for a test spin and came across these issues. I use BT so much, and it is especially an issue as I use BT and WiFi to connect to my appradio 2. Right now it's a crap shoot for getting my headunit to connect and basic stuff like listening to music on my BT or BT speaker (basic stuff) sounds horrible. So I am coming back. Probably should not have left.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Curiousn00b:
I run a smaller DPI, so I don't have this issue, but with the latest builds, I did notice that the default app selector that comes up asking which do you want to open blah blah blah in sits behind the nav bar rather than above it.

SPRINT VOICEMAIL HELP:

I got the nexus 6p, loved it,so i got for my gf too.

Just clean install,we both have sprint.

But she gets consistent voicemail notification count. That doesn't seem to go away. This is a clean install with the newest ROM And suggested gapps, no modes to kernal.

Anybody else have this issue/know a work around? Already called sprint to reset her 'service'/refresh or w/e they do over their.

searched this forum all i got was people NOT getting voicemail notifications,i have the opposite.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] itsmejson:
Recently did a clean install with the latest build. I'm noticing my WiFi tends to drop off and disconnect and then reconnect often.

I'm not sure if this is just an issue with our WiFi network or with this build. Is there a test to find out what may be causing this or if anyone else is experiencing this themselves?

Thx
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
I'm just going to guess and say you didn't flash the latest vendor? It's mentioned in the FAQs.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ralphyralph:
I have the same issue. Clean flash w/latest vendor...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thesticks00:
Is that true? How is he flashing then. I gotta say, if the other person is correct, that seems like a serious security issue. As long as you know someone is rooted with custom recovery, you could easily bypass the security and access their phone content.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Hadookie:
My recovery isn't locked.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:

Encrypt your phone with a strong passphrase. Anyone can boot to recovery, but your data partition will be inaccessible without the password.

I also have this issue. Attempted a clean flash. And yes I know how to wipe and clean flash. Including vendor. I thought it was a kernel issue was running [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] ak 66-5 df linaro 6.1. Tried different kernels including the pre packaged and have this same issue.

Out of curiosity what radio are you guys on that are having WiFi drops?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wooddale:
Gee I'm on an old one never thought of it because I have Mediacom provider and they suck but the only game in town. I just assumed it was them until I herd others talking about it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jmtjr278:
OK. I'm on a newer one. I guess that's not it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Radio is irrelevant to Wi-Fi issues since Wi-Fi is handled exclusively by the kernel.

I just downloaded and flash the newest version and I also have no wifi. I just flashed the new rom and gapps and no kernel. I did a dirty flash first and had the issue and then did a clean install and same problem...no wifi. Any fixes for the wifi, before I restore my backup image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CatsEyeX:
Did you update your vendor image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] darkcyber20:
No, not yet. I always boot my phone up first and test and make sure everything works first before updating the vendor image, incase something doesn't work and I have to restore an image backup. Never run into this before doing it that way. So, the updated vendor image fixes this problem?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CatsEyeX:
The new vendor image has to go with this kernel. The loss of WiFi because of this has been mentioned many times.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] darkcyber20:
Thanks! Sorry for asking a question that has already been asked. I know how people get offended if people do that. I always flash the new ROM, Gapps and then reboot it to test everything before upgrading the vendor image. Usually all it does it just give you an error that you need to upgrade.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wooddale:
I'm kind of curious myself I update every release. I always flash vendor learned that day one I always have a nanoid in case of a bork. Why did this one mess with wifi I never herd anyone mention until this release. Onky problems were mismatch warnings.Thanks

Check the 'Require pattern to start device' option when you set your screen lock. You won't be able to go to recovery without applying the pin.

Android Pay is broken for me now. No, not the usual safety net junk, when I go to pay it just keeps prompting me to unlock over and over. Is anyone else running into this problem? I found another thread about it and they said Google somehow broke AP in the latest version by making it incompatible with this fingerprint reader? That would make sense since I tried going back to the previous PN build and the problem still exists and it worked before. I was just wondering if anyone had a workaround...?
