[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I love Rom Settings Backup, but 2 times it has lead to big problems for me. Both times involved the NEW/updated ROM not having a setting available that was backed up and restored with the app.

I've narrowed it down to this each time by doing a clean flash, doing it with Rom Settings Backup, and then doing it without. I also one time found the issue was a quick settings tile was backed up, but didn't exist on the new one, so you couldn't open settings because it would crash. So I had to delete that QS tile and then reboot, all worked later.

I still use it, but cautiously.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Hard to disagree with logic like that.

Perhaps I've been fortunate to not have a backed up setting for a removed feature/function?

A most fascinating hypothesis Captain...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Probably. It has worked great for me many times, but I pay attention to the changelogs more than I used to for PN now so...

Did you ever figure this out? Mines just shutting off at about 20%. It won't power on right away. After a few minutes I can turn it back on and it has about 15 to 20%. Or if I plug it in will will come back on right away with about 20%. Pretty annoying though. Here's a screen shot of the battery page after it happens.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Anoop:
I am currently on MDB08L and intend to install the Pure ROM and give it a try. From what I have been reading, following are the steps to follow:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Install TWRP (2.8.7.2) from https://dl.twrp.me/angler/

3. Download the latest ROM from OP (ROM -6.0.1, GApps & Vendor -MMB29M_Vendor)

4. NANDBackup ..just in case!

5. Install ROM, GApps & Vendor (after wipe all)

My questions:

1. I read something about installing latest bootloader, vendor & phone. Infact I have downloaded the img in a zip file. Should I be flashing them or not? And when?

2. Does the ROM include a kernel? Or should I flash something else..like Elemental and if so...at what stage should I flash it?

Appreciate any help! I used to install Custom ROMs before (the last one I did was the Xperia Z1, but I havent done so lately. I am realizing what I missed...there is some excitement in messing around with the phone!

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] meltdeck:
Ok, you need to extract that zip that has boot, radio, and vendor you'll want to FLASH WITH FASTBOOT, NOT RECOVERY. Beans also was nice enough to put together a flashable vendor in op if you want to just flash vendor in recovery. So get those 3 flashed then flash ROM in recovery followed by gapps and you're good to go. Been running great for me not even slightest hiccup

So when I went from 6.0 to 6.0.1 I used this order

Boot.img---radio--vendor--rom--gapps--fifix

I was already rooted with twrp (obviously)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Anoop:
What's fifix? And do I have to be rooted before i install? I thought the rom is rooted already..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MRL3GS:

That's a Nexus 6P issue not a ROM issue. Someone made a post in Android subreddit about this before. When the phone would shutoff with 15% - 20% battery left. No known solution. Not everyone is affected but judging from the number of responses, they are common enough.

Same thing here. This is rendering Smart Lock inoperable, for me. I've clean flashed, tried a different kernel, and fixed permissions in TWRP with no luck.

Anyone else?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Working great here.

Did either of you guys possibly use ROM Settings Backup to restore settings when you flashed?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigray327:
I did not. Thanks for checking.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Completely clean flash by the book?

Which exact GAPPs did you flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] The_Fuzz22:
I didn't, although I restored several apps with Titanium and may have included some settings backups in there but I have to confess I don't remember which. It could have just been Bluetooth pairings, WiFi connections etc. but perhaps something else in there too that's causing the issue.

Is it possible that TB would cause the same problem produced by ROM Settings Backup under the right conditions? If so d'you reckon a clean flash would solve the issue? It's my go-to for problems like this but I try to avoid where possible as with my job it's often difficult to find time to properly sit down and go through the process.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
[/COLOR]

Very possible, one of the reasons we don't restore any system related stuff. There's a great app on XDA called PAIRS, that backs up and restores your BT, WiFi, and other stuff, works perfect and is free.

I'd try just a dirty flash of the rom first, nothing else.

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

What I've started doing, since I feel the same way, I have to have a working phone and need to update quick, is the following.

1. SD Maid to clean everything.

2. Reboot into recovery and do a backup, name it something particular.

3. Reboot into ROM and do a TI backup.

4. Sync all of my accounts, do a ROM SETTINGS BACKUP backup.

5. Run PAIRS app and backup everything.

6. Clean flash - BY THE BOOK.

7. Let google restore everything over wifi.

8. Open my mandatory apps one at a time, restore DATA only to the ones that need it, restore everything for those that don't want to work right (sometimes I uninstall first, other times I don't).

9. Run PAIRS and restore all of those.

That's it, it goes really quick these days, and I have very few problems anymore. If the update is a small IN VERSIOn update (7.0 september to 7.0 october) I'll use Rom Settings Backup to restore, if the changelog looks like it should be good, if not, I do all of my settings again manually watching TV.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigray327:
Yup. Wiped everything but internal storage.

The mini Dynamic GApps from November 11.

EDIT: I just did a second clean install and now it works. That's really weird, but thanks for humoring me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] The_Fuzz22:
Yeah I've managed to streamline the process over the years and it takes less time now I'm more confident with the process and less likely to mess things up, but it's still a bit of a bastard at times :) thanks though!

Went to try the dirty flash but of course now I've just realised my phone is also hanging on the TWRP start screen when I boot into recovery, so gonna have to look at updating that with fastboot first when I get a chance.

Cheers for the advice, hugely appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Something like that happened the first clean flash I did coming from 6.01 to the most recent Nugat. I attributed it to me flashing way too much before I let the system start up. I backed it off to just the ROM and GAPPS and then rebooted later and flashed everything else.

Glad it's working for you.

Don't thank me, thank your recruiter. :angel:

What TWRP do you have installed? Without being able to get into TWRP, I think you can still flash a newer version with TWRP Manager from the play store right? Or download the newest .img and flash it with flashify?

I've solved similar problems in TWRP doing that before.

"If you can't get into TWRP to flash TWRP, update your TWRP by flashing the new TWRP outside of TWRP." Just like my grandpappy used to say.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jt1998:
Hey all,

I'm excited to be joining the community. I just bought my 6p and its coming Friday. I'm moving from my LG G4 to this. I'm basically comfortable flashing ROMs, etc but that's about it. From reading the OP and the last 10-20 pages, I'm not sure which way to proceed so would love some advice.

If my 6p has MM on it, should I stick with it or upgrade to Nougat? Alternatively, if already on Nougat would you downgrade or recc staying on it? I really don't do any gaming at all. But I take tons of pics of kiddo, family events, etc so quality camera is priority, then maybe battery life. Advice/opinions would be appreciated! Thanks guys.

I love pure nexus as its on my Nexus 9 tablet!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mcmb03:
Some people don't think Nougat is mature enough yet. I personally love it so far. The deal breaker to me would be if you need Xposed or not which is currently unavailable on Nougat.

I'm an avid phone camera user too and use ProShot as my daily camera driver. No noticeable difference between using it on MM vs N.

I get 3-6hrs of screen on time depending on if I am gaming/watching youtube or just browsing and recharge my phone every other day. I use Naptime and Greenify along with franco.kernel and cannot be happier with my battery life. Everything is but try s.ooth and I have not had any random reboots.

If your 6p does come with MM pre-loaded and you don't care about Xposed, I'd upgrade to N first then proceed with flashing stuff for PN if nothing else so your ROM & kernel have relatively current security patches. Hope you find some of that helpful.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
The usual reason people hold off from upgrading to nougat is Xposed. I no longer do so I was good.

As for battery, with my usage pattern, I get 5+ hours over WiFi with ElementalX or Flash kernel. A about 3.5 on LTE. I don't use any battery saving app, just stock doze.

Yes you can. I updated from PN 6 to stock Android 7 and back again. Then updated from PN 6 to 7 no problem.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dy2592:
I was in the same group of people that didnt want to update to nougat because of xposed. Then I was able to find other apps or tweaks to replicate what I was using in xposed. Most of my xposed tweaks were mainly of adblocking in youtube and downloading instagram pics directly. I've since found direct app replacements. Being on Nougat is awesome. Its more fluid and installing apps doesnt take an eternity any more.

Apps I am using in place of my xposed tweaks:

- OGMod's Instagram+

- YouTube with adaway modded
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kapak13:
Hey, would you mind PM'ing me the YouTube with adaway mod app? I've been searching this very thing for a long time. In fact, I was an xposed junky too and just decided to switch to nougat early, but I miss my YouTube adaway module...

Thats it. Was about to link them the same thing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kapak13:
Hmm. Followed OP exactly but can't get the app to how up in the app drawer. I believe it's my fault being that all the root file managers I have tried show the permissions as drwxr-xr-x. What root file manager are you using to be able to change permissions to "755"? And does the 755 also need to be applied to the apk itself as well?

Just wondering which release of PN Gapps this is from. I've been having lots of trouble with hotword detection failing ever since the 7.0 releases where it will stop working and the switch starts turning itself off immediately after trying to enable it. Usually I can get it working again but it typically fails within the same day. I rely on the hands-free features frequently each day and had to switch back to stock (ok google working 100% on stock and hasn't disabled itself since switching) but I really miss PN, it is the best. Please let me know when you have a moment. Thanks.

I'm using Solid Explorer. But I've also used ES File explorer in the past with similar results (but haven't specifically tried it for this scenario).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JRJ442:
Personally I'm using Root Explorer by Speed Software. If 0755 doesn't work you could try 0777. I attached a screenshot of what permissions it would be for that. As far as the app itself goes, 0644 or 0755 should both work just fine. I noticed that I have the YouTube directory folder and apk in System/Priv-Apps. I must have accidentally batch moved it when I moved some other stuff into there. Maybe you could try it in there instead of System/Apps?

M issue is the SU for chainfire say my root is systemless, I dont want systemless root just normal root, so I tried to remove that and then my phone wouldn;t boot. I did this after I tried to flash a custom kernel and it woildn't take take after reboot. I started with a cleen install then tried the other things I've mentioned.

Sorry for name calling and making an issue but was just wanting some links or directions. I'll try to read more when I get home where I have internet and my PC to possibly work on this if needed. Thansk for the help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hinxnz:
Once you flash SuperSU you don't flash it again after a custom kernel, you do so only if you flash a boot.img or your ROM. There's a few ways to unroot, a couple would be to just use the unroot option in the SuperSU app or dirty flash ROM again. I'm fairly sure to flash system root on Android 6.x you just flash SuperSU otherwise you'll need to search for the method because a don't recall.

I just seen there is a system mode su after a quick search with the google now app, first result too.
