Make sure you first have this rom installed and working. Then backup your sdcard partition to your computer if you want (it will be wiped completely when you decrypt). I'm talking about your pictures, etc.

Then, with the latest version of twrp which you should have already installed, go into recovery. Choose the format userdata. Your rom (system) will stay intact but your SD card will be empty, so when you boot back into system, you can hook up to your PC and add whatever you backed up back to the phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ali nz:
Yes you're right...thank you??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sli3:
Hi, thanks so much for your reply, I will try tonight after I got home =),

Again if I gonna wait for the coming up release of the ROM and install it, do I need to wipe user data or freash install will do the same thing?

Thanks in advance =)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ali nz:
Yeah i got it...thanks?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
The general wipe of data under twrp wipe advanced is sufficient, wipe caches too. Just make sure "Internal Storage" is unchecked in TWRP when wiping.

But the FORMAT USERDATA is to unencrypt, wiping the whole SD card.

If you want to do that now while stock, you can simply flash a custom kernel in twrp first to prevent auto encryption when you boot up. Then do the userdata format.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] YungMage:
Thank you for your guide on how to unlock bootloader, root, etc. Very very useful.

Beans is a phenomenal dev/person, who attracts other phenomenal devs, themers, contributors.

His threads are usually the most chill on xda, where a person who reads and listens can learn A LOT about all things root/customizing.

His Roms are usually a fantastic balance of options and stability.

He updates very regularly (even before the monthly security updates were an issue).

I paid retail for the N6P just to follow Nate and the crew.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikeymopar:
ditto.....

well except for the 6p part as i could only afford the 6 (and couldn't risk the .1% chance of camera glass bezel breakage myth due to cold-to-warm being true. i've had frost form on my phones in the past)

but ditto none the less. Nate has always been awesome with updates and his faithful followers (usually) pleasant and his threads enjoyable (as much as the mod's allow)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] schmaltzy:
Not sure if this is ROM related but I've been searching and can't find an answer. I've been running Pure Nexus for a month now and decided to update to the most recent version. Went into TWRP (3.0.0.0), wiped system/data/cache, flashed vendor image, the Pure Nexus 3/15, then custom kernel. Been running that just fine for a couple days. Wanted to change to a different kernel last night so I booted into recovery and I was greeted with the following screen:

Top Says "Mount" and under that "Decrypt Data"

Asks me to enter a password. Tried my security passcode and that didn't work. Booted back into system and disabled security just in case. Booted back into TWRP and same thing.

If I hit cancel it takes me to a screen titled "Unmodified System Partition"

I can select "Keep Read Only, Select Language, of Swipe to Allow Modifications."

Selecting anything get's me to the main TWRP screen (3.0.0.0) but I don't have access to my internal storage.

Can someone help point me to a fix?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Michael in ATL:
Pretty sure you need newest TWRP 3.0.0.2, due to v3.0.0.0's trouble with encrypted phones

Sent from my Graphite 128 GB Nexus 6P *Barney Fife-> sniff*
[Nexus 6P Android Development] schmaltzy:
Got ya. I also see that now in Beans #7741 Post. Sorry for posting the question.

However, how to I flash that if I can't access internal storage?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Michael in ATL:
Well, you could flash it via WugFresh's "Nexus Root Toolkit", though the advanced users here disdain such tools. You can also flash via *fastboot commands after you download v3.0.0.2, but I only know enough to do it myself, not really how to explain or give you a link. Sorry m8, but I'm sure others can help here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] firewave:
The easy way is to use fastboot on your PC,

adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-nexus6p-#####.img

I'm not sure but maybe you could also use sideload function on twrp.. But you also need a pc for that so...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
Fastboot flash recovery nameoftwrpfile.img

Or MTP perhaps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wietse1988:
I think you can do it in the bootloader, boot into the bootloader, connect you phone to the pc. And with adb type: fastboot flash recovery twrp3.0.2.img

Or boot your phone, and install an app called flashify and install the latest twrp recovery. You need root for this app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ogeretla:
So sick of the bluetooth bug. Sooo looking forward to the update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inkdaddy66:
Flashify would be the absolute easiest if you have root access. Personally that's where I'm falling short. I can't gain root

User Flashify. It works extremely well
[Nexus 6P Android Development] schmaltzy:
I've used flashify in the past for things and currently have it installed. I just didn't know if it would work because TWRP couldn't read the internal storage.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

This worked! Thanks for everyone's help!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inkdaddy66:
Ok. Back the truck up! I haven't been able to gain root so I haven't run into twrp issues. But you're saying that it doesn't read internal storage at all?

Hey thanks for this but it won't install.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] schmaltzy:
Just in TWRP it wasn't reading storage because it was encrypted and it said I needed a password to access storage. I'm not 100% sure what the whole deal was, I just know that flashing TWRP 3.0.2 through ADB worked and now TWRP is working fine. I still had access to root and storage on my phone though. It was just through TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] _Dusty_:
Could someone point me to a working Viper4Android.zip ? I'm running this rom with the elemantal EX kernel but I can't seem to get V4A working :3
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inkdaddy66:
Odd. Does adding a password fix the issue or is it just considered broken for the time being? So I'm also taking it that this rom on top of other zip flashes need to be taken care of within adb? Or flashify once root is accessed
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikeymopar:
which version of PN are you running.... the layers flavor or cmte. the linked apk is for layers as stated in RED

and...

i'm running cmte and just now reading your post easily converted it to cmte following THIS
[Nexus 6P Android Development] YungMage:
Use Flashify app. Easiest way.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jawonder:
I'm using the regular or flavor as you called it , i have a bunch of layer themes installed and the all are working fine. The apk that was posted is link to Dropbox, i saved it to my Dropbox which i link to Root explorer and also copied it to my SD but in both cases it won't install. Keep getting application not installed .
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikeymopar:
can't test it myself direct cos i'm running cmte. maybe bad download? does it still have the .apk extension? are you for certain using layers version and not cmte (about phone>pure nexus version shouldn't read cmte)? and finally, what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

You installed the APK, didn't you? That's what I did at first too. You need to manually install the layer APK from within Layer Manager. I mentioned that but you may have overlooked it.

I am having this issue since marshmallow

Had it on my n5 and now on n6p no matter on which rom

I don't have Greenify installed

I am using the stock theme system wide

My wifi connection is pretty stable

I have disabled whatsapp in battery optimization

I have not restored it through TB rather downloaded it from play store

Its like if i dont pick up my device after around 10 or 15 mins i dont get any notification from whatsapp and when i open it then i receive them

Is there really a fix for this?

Because i heavily rely on whatsapp and have to continously force waking it :rolleyes:

Also i tried to change the heartbeat by setting it to 5 mins which was recommended default by the app

Anyone with any ideas? Because I'm out of all:crying:

Layers VS CMTE Rom....

I don't like Layer's but had issues with installing the CMTE version of this ROM, so I went with the Layers version. Smoothest ROM I've used to date with AWESOME battery life! As usual, I tried a new Layer's theme and my phone was un-usable. So I tried the CMTE version again and it installed perfectly and I used it for a few days. It was smooth, but battery life was horrible compared to the Layer's version! I'd lose 5% an hour in standby. Where with the Layers version, it was less than 1% per hour in standby. I'm sure it was theme related or the CMTE was doing something funky? But on another ROM, battery life was fine using the same theme (CMTE).

Just curious if there was a reason or if anyone else has experienced this?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Prattham:
Battery life cannot be linked to specially layers or cmte commits, not talking about themes

But maybe due to cmte is a bit buggy maybe

Moreover only difference i found was if cmte build is 98. 5% smooth layers is 98.99%

Cheers
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
It's not showing up when I open layers manager though. Where should the apk be moved, if that's the answer? So layers manager can find it to install?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] hroo772:
You're thinking of a Fi feature which is automatic for open hot spots that Google thinks have good connections. You can setup an VPN connection on your own but you will need to pay for a VPN service to make that happen.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SubliminalME:
Not really sure that grouping our two questions together was appropriate, nor why you chose to answer no questions, take up posting space with a single word post, or act what I can only assume as high and mighty.

I'm not asking for updates, nor for a release schedule., but rather making conversation on the topic of the rom. I've been using this rom on 3 phones so far, since inception, and I think I've used roms dating back to the S3 by Beans.

So take your wow and smoke it, hombre.

Your getting this error because the build fingerprint that's found in the build.prop in the system partition does not match the vendor build fingerprint located in the build.prop of the vendor folder.

Go into your build prop in system folder copy the build fingerprint line

Go to the vendor folder and paste it over the vendor build fingerprint line. Save and reboot

[Nexus 6P Android Development] DonnieDoezoe:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
SELinux is Enforcing with 11/21/15. You will either need to install a permissive kernel like ElementalX or Hells Core or you can change the SELinux mode with either the app called SELinuxModeChanger or the permissive zip in the Viper thread.

Really loving this rom. Thank you for your time and effortt.

I am having trouble with the phone: as soon as the call connects (outgoing and incoming) the screen is completely black and unresponsive. I need to either wait for the call to disconnect or reboot.

I have the recommended gapps, removed all layers, returned to stock DPI and disabled all xposed modules with no luck. I am on latest build and the kernel that comes with the rom.

I can use the dial pad to make calls, talk and hear. Just can't hang up or use dial pad during call.

I'm off work for the week, so I may not be able to get my logcats for a bit.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix?

Is something covering your proximity sensor? I had a glass protector without a proximity sensor cutout that drove me nuts for a while
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Heisenberg:
You're using a screen protector, right? It's due to the screen protector not having a cutout for the proximity sensor, and therefore the phone thinks it's constantly against your ear. Remove screen protector = problem solved. I'd probably be contacting the seller for a refund.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SwimDrewid:

Thanks Beans for the update.

So just to make sure, I'm on the 11/13 build and V4A works great because of the permissive mode, if I flash the 11/21 build I only need to change the mode from enforcing to permissive to make V4A works again right, is there going to be any conflict or problems ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] krazyq:
You should be able to get a free replacement.

Many of the first tgsp that came out didn't have the right cut out. You'll see many negative reviews for those products.

Since this is a clean install of Pure with nothing really installed other than a couple games and antutu to test the issue, can you come up with an explanation other than an ephemeral "problem on your end"?

On top of poor performance, the distorted audio over bluetooth with 3d intensive games continues, which I'm guessing very few people are using or it would have been addressed by now.
