WiFi calling is dependent on your carrier. If the people you pay for phone service offer WiFi calling then it works (I've been using PN since I was on US Cellular, who does not offer WiFi calling, and transitioned to Project Fi with the same phone, same number, same ROM/kernel setup, and WiFi calling started working immediately without any effort on my part).

Tl;dr: are you paying for WiFi calling? If it's not offered by your carrier, there's nothing this ROM can do for you.

For anyone having issues with core Gapps force closing:

After you flash this ROM and Gapps, are you restoring data from Google during setup? If so, make sure you don't select any system apps. Only restore user apps (on /data partition, don't restore anything included in the Gapps package). You can update your system apps from the Play Store later, but choosing to restore them during setup will cause lots of issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Anyone on this? :confused::(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I'm really surprised I didn't have more problems flashing things in the past when I didn't check MD5's, but now I think that most of the problems I did have, that others didn't report, came from not doing so.

I'm also rather surprised that this functionality isn't something done automatically in Chrome or elsewhere, considering the sizes of files we download. Think about it, you have a file, with a MD5 attached, the file is downloaded and the attached MD5 is automatically compared with the attached one, if it doesn't match you are given a warning and prompted to redownload it. If it fails a second time with the same mismatch, you get a third option or it switches to a mirror of the same file.

I'm a GIS Specialist for my job, and some of the datasets we work with end up being 8GB to several TB (raster datasets usually), and they'll work when exported, but not when transferred. Everyone looks at the file size and just tries again. I'm trying to get the folks I work with to understand how MD5's work and how easy it is to compare them, but their eyes glaze over and they just copy and paste the dataset again with their fingers crossed...

Gboard is fine for me. I'm enrolled in the beta and still no force closes. Are you using any Substratum themes for it? I think Gboard has issues with them sometimes. Other than that I'd suggest a data wipe on the application or an uninstall and reinstall.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Awesome! The amount of GIS folks I meet with the Nexus 6P or 6 is amazing. I must know at least 8 now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
I use substratum but I have not applied the layer effect on Gboard specifically. Secondly, I have flashed again the entire rom clean as I had gone back to stock. So, I am not sure why is this happening.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Are you installing Gboard from the Play Store and setting it up fresh, or restoring the app/data with Titanium Backup? A log of the crash would be helpful.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
Hi folks.

Can anyone upload the latest boot.img from this ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Have never used titanium backup. I always install afresh. The thing is it doesn't crash. The keyboard just goes blank and I have to manually force stop the app or I go to Language and Input -- Virtual keyboard -- Select Gboard and then it reads that it has stopped working and do I want to force close it. I am not sure how to get the log.

:confused:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Not sure if you've done this yet or not, but PN search turned up this...

Hope it helps.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] richii0207:
I assume you're using the lastest, office, non-beta release of GBoard from the play store without any mods installed?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
I don't have it, that's why I'm asking here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Office? Yes I don't use any mods. I have disabled the effect of substratum theme on Gboard while applying the theme.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] loadie:
I use beta version of gboard with no problems. Check and make sure your gboard is set as default, I also uninstalled AOSP board
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
I don't know how to uninstall it. I have just disabled it though. This is driving me nuts. I always hated google for this reason.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JRJ442:
I actually removed the AOSP keyboard as well. You can use any file explorer to delete the LatinIME.apk. It's either in System/Apps or System/Priv-Apps. I forgot which. Or you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall as well. I'm not sure that's what is causing the issue though. Worth a shot I guess since you've tried other normal troubleshooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] madmuthertrucker:
I too had a new battery installed and it made a huge difference.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
This is what I am talking about just to give you an idea.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Try disabling all themes for it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Did that already. Infact while applying the theme, I unchecked Gboard specifically.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JRJ442:
Have you turned on sync learned words in Gboard settings? I'm wondering since Gboard has some issues with themes if actually theming Google Play Services would cause things to act up. That's a real shot in the dark though. If not maybe you should grab a logcat and tag Beans when you post it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sjgoel:
I am using the latest update. My Enhanced 4G LTE mode is enabled. But I do not see the VoLTE symbol on the status bar. Is this normal or should VoLTE appear next to the signal strength bars?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Yeah may be possible I can check with that. However, I am not sure how to grab a "logcat" or whatever that is. Can you please tell so I can do the same and tag Beans.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
It's normal. You'll either see LTE or 4G next to the signal icon.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sjgoel:
Thanks. Some ROMs do show VoLTE, hence my question. Could be a useful addition.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] dtr145r:
So im going to ask probably a noob question.

when booting the the phone, the splash screen pops up about the boot loader being unlocked.

no that im rooted with custom rom and recovery can i re lock the boot loader to make that annoying screen go away?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Alexandgut:
No! You'll brick your phone. The only time you should relock is if you are completely back to stock
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
That screen isn't annoying, it's a badge of honor.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
Maybe the first time.... My previous phone (moto x pure edition) had a similar screen, but you could flash a different logo.bin image to replace it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] teh roxxorz:
That endeavor was long since abandoned on 6P. Just different system layout, and wasn't worth the trouble.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
As someone may have followed my posts above, I had been trying to resolve the issue with G-board so I uninstalled the AOSP keyboard using Titanium backup. Is there any way I can restore it as I don't think there is a solution for Gboard's crashes and I don't want to leave my rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
You didn't make a backup before removing? Dirty flash the ROM to restore it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
No unfortunately I didn't. :( Will dirty flashing cause an issue to any of the existing setups?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Generally no...but....YMMV. Make a backup of your setup with TWRP in case there is an issue, you can just restore. Turn off any security before making the backup..PIN, pattern...etc.

Or I found this black AOSP keyboard https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-3/themes/mod-aosp-keyboard-7-1-1-black-t3595984 in case that would be easier.

I personally use Swiftkey.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
I decided to use Swiftkey. But I type in Roman urdu and it keeps giving weird suggestions. It slows me down. Do you have any solution for that? I can't switch on the suggestions as well. Though I do love it when I type in English with it.

And secondly, thanks alot for the AOSP man! :) But I will prefer SwiftKey if what I mentioned can be resolved.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Weird that you cannot turn off suggestions. I did a search for Swiftkey and Roman Urdu and found some saying that the Urdu dictionary is not built up yet. So you would need to add words and build up your dictionary.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Why would you want to disable it even before responding?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] andreapontic:
I do not like this feature, how does this rom run with the franko kernel?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
It has been great with that Kernel. I have used Flash, Franco. Both are great.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] andreapontic:
great, compared whit pure nexus stock kernel what difference did you notice?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] haiderijaz:
Not much but battery timing is better with Franco. Flash is more about speed and performance so an obvious little effect on battery. But then again, that's a very personal thing and depends more on the usage of the person.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] andreapontic:
I'll try them both, thank you very much :)

Hello all,

I'm looking for some help. I'm on the latest pure Nexus ROM and I've been having obscene battery drain. So I guess I could say I may have multiple problems. I rebooted my phone to wipe the dalvik cache and when the phone reboots a message pops up saying that my vendor image doesn't match and to flash nmf26x. I check my settings and I have the one that I'm supposed to use for this ROM. So any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
I miss being able to do that from my Nexus 6 days.

Just in case anyone was wondering, Beans posted a status update on G+
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drewski_1:
I'm getting the same message. For me, I

think

it starts after a recent Magisk update?

Currently just ignoring it :silly:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] facemob:
Ok cause I thought it had something to do with the battery drain
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
What you see in settings is what vendor the ROM is based on. You have the wrong vendor flashed, hence the message. Flash the correct vendor.img and the message will disappear.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drewski_1:
Not true. I've flashed the correct vendor for the June build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] facemob:
I also have the June vendor image flashed. Just did it again to be sure.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aamadorj:
I think that message is a side effect of the Universal Safety Net Fix module for Magisk. This module is not longer needed with stable Magisk v13.2, AFAIK.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drewski_1:
That did it! :good:

I forgot it was even installed! :cyclops:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] facemob:
Thanks I'll remove it and see what happens. Now can anyone point me to a thread for issues with battery drain? I've looked and haven't found the answers to my particular problem yet
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
If you flashed the correct vendor, there is no way you would be getting a message saying it was wrong. Go figure. And as you have now discovered it was nothing to do with THIS ROM, but another module you had installed to bypass something else.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vladniko:
Does this rom allow signature faking? Accidentally asked in the shamu thread, meant to ask here
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drewski_1:
Your first sentence is, again, incorrect. And in my earlier post, I'd said I thought it was not this ROM. ;)

Hi guys!

So if while restoring, I see two partitions 'vendor' and 'vendor image'. Q - What's the difference between the two?

Also, I see that the latest vendor image by BeatsTown for 6P is NUF26N, June 5 security patch:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862708442

So do I need to flash this vendor image. Everything is working fine so far on my phone and I'm asking this just to make sure the phone is updated and all. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fz798:
For best results, your vendor image and ROM should always match, e.g. June vendor image with June ROM. Otherwise, you may experience unexpected FCs etc.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cheesechocolate:
Gotcha! Thanks.

So I just updated the Vendor image to NUF26N but as soon as I booted into the OS, I got a prompt saying that my vendor image doesn't match my OS. Told me to go back to the old Vendor image I was on. I don't understand. This is the latest vendor image and there shouldn't be any problem. Also, this is the June ROM that I'm running.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fz798:
That Vendor is from March, look at the dates again. You want N2G47W_vendor.img (See the full list of Vendor images here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=49333)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Always flash the Vendor that is supplied with the Rom. Nate takes all the thinking out of it and links everything required in the same post as the new build. (thank you very much Nate for making our lives that much easier)

If you're flashing an older build, flash the vendor supplied with that Rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cheesechocolate:
So what's the difference between the 'vendor' and 'vendor image' partitions?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
When I flash a new vendor, I flash it to the Vendor Image partition. The Vendor image (a collection of vendor stuff :) ) gets flashed to the Vendor partition. Other than that, I'm not sure the diff between the two.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
It's the same partition but in TWRP, it can either be backed up in the normal TWRP format (vendor), or as an image (vendor Image).

[Nexus 6P Android Development] fz798:
My experience has been that yes, it does matter what kernel you're on. You still need the build.prop "fluence"edits, but also try different kernels in addition to the prop changes. Also, the echo problem is much worse when you are on speakerphone. I'm on Franco FWIW

Lower screen brightness.

Stop background notifications for apps (Facebook, SnapChat, Tapatalk, etc).

Reduce frequency of email polling.

Use Greenify.

Use Better Battery Stats to identify wakelocks.

etc
[Nexus 6P Android Development] komidzo:
I've been on PN with various kernels since last August or so. I got my 6p on Prime day last year. Since about January, my battery stats have been crap. I struggled to get less than .5% idle drain, and it's been really rarely under 20% active. I thought it was my battery failing or something. This was across multiple clean flashes, exkm governor profiles, different kernels, etc.

Since it's getting to be almost time for PN to be updated (as soon as Mr. Beanstown recovers, take your time!) I figured I'd try a different ROM. I'm currently running Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 with latest Franco, and even after messing around with substratum for a couple hours last night (during about 2/3s of LoTR extended) and overnight idle, my phone is running better than it has in a loooong time. See screenshot attached

I don't know why PN battery drain (I was running different combinations of wakeblock, naptime, and greenify) was so bad, but my current setup, running all the same apps as before gives me hope. (My active drain is sitting at 13.6% right now and Android system isn't sitting higher than everything else in battery stats) Does anyone know why such a huge difference between PN and RR?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kennethdavis732:
I'll start with I have never posted because I've never had a problem until now, been on pure nexus since since i got my 6p overy a year ago. All the sudden I had a large app update that just wouldn't finish efor code 905. Tryed clearing all cache started at play store and framework then in twrp. Then did a fresh clean flash of latest build and gapps then wouldn't finish downloading app (castle clash) error code 491. So went back and restored my backup that is latest build and gapps. I've tried installing older gapps packages beans 5/09 and I've tried open gapps. Any ideas, I'm not a nube but not as experienced as you guys

So I dirty flashed and ended up with duplicates of phone, contacts, and calculator. I have read through the FAQ and disabling both AOSP dialers causes the phone to be non-functional, with the Google Dialer not actually dialing anything out. Anyone experience this yet? I did not flash Gapps again.

I've tried to follow the directions located here about removing the AOSP dialer but I've drilled down into my settings / show system apps and looked for com.android.phone and don't see it anywhere. I'd like to remove all the AOSP apps and just use the google ones that are updated via the play store.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] conundrum768:
If you've done a completely clean flash and it hasn't worked. Have you redownloaded the ROM, image, and gApps package? I'm wondering if you have a corrupted file.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Relentless D:
Easiest option would be to freeze from the apps menu in system settings.

If you really want to remove it, the easiest way would be to use Titanium backup. Be sure to set the new phone app as the default.
