Visiting 6P forum after a long time and it's really sad to see this great rom not being developed anymore. It was so much fun in development but looks like it has slowed down with time..

It's depressing but still anyways typing this message from my Galaxy S8 :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikal75:
Can someone from Dev team answer this question please?

I found the one handed mode in PN very convenient and as far as I know there were 4-5 ROMs in 7.1 (ABC, Lineage, etc) with this feature.

Currently there is no ROM in 8.1 with such functionality ( I hope PN will be the first!!!)

What module/app/implementation used in PN for the one handed mode? Was it something 7.1 specific that cannot be done in 8.x?

Thank you

Mike

We miss you mate!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Wow! Maybe you should read the thread before stating it is not being developed anymore! That is a bit disrespectful to the issues the developer has been dealing with! Maybe it is not being released every month with security updates but the developer has not abandoned the project!

lets stop kidding ourselves...this project is pretty much dead unless proven otherwise
[Nexus 6P Android Development] reference2myself:
What's crazy is that we can't even talk about other roms here when so many people are waiting thinking there's nothing better. There's 8.1 roms better than PN. Beans said he was still working on this a while back but the Github is still dead.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrMarques01:
Common mate, the last release was 9 months ago, the last commit on Github in January. Let's face it, this project is pretty much dead, even though OP hasn't officially acknowledged it. Stating the facts has nothing to do with being disrespectful.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Now THAT'S profound...

Kinda like a dead person isn't alive if they're dead? :rolleyes:

Obviously there's plenty of us who don't mind hanging around, helping those still using the last build, and checking in to see if Oreo has made it here.

If you're tired of "kidding yourself", please move on.

What's crazy is users NOT using the proper sections as they are intended. If you want to talk and share other 8.1 Roms for the 6P, there's a section for that.

Here's the link: GENERAL where that talk belongs.

Discussing, promoting, troubleshooting, supporting non-PN Roms in a PN Rom thread is rude, and that should be obvious to just about everyone.

Come on mate, why do people who only complain about this thread not being active, continue to come here and complain about it?

If you're tired of waiting, or don't believe it's coming around, leave. No one is begging you or anyone else to stay here in hopes of an update.

This Rom will in "fact" be dead when Nate says it's no longer supported. Saying it is dead because it has not yet been updated, is just an opinion.

Stating facts CAN absolutely be disrespectful. If you saw a really big woman in the grocery store, it's a fact that she's huge, and it would be totally disrespectful to say that to her.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] iakeco:
I don't think people are complaining, I think they are expressing their opinion just like you are.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
"..... the last release was 9 months ago, the last commit on Github in January. Let's face it, this project is pretty much dead...."

Sounds like complaining to me, but even if it isn't, it's negative and serves no other purpose than to attempt to discourage those still hanging around...

Point is; why are people who believe this Rom is dead, believe there will be no update, why do they keep coming back here to complain, tell everyone the Rom is dead, and/or run Nate or the Rom down?

Do people normally go back to a restaurant they hate every few weeks, stand in line, and tell everyone in line that you aren't eating here, you've started eating at another place across town, that you're tired of waiting for them to serve something new? No, normal people don't; unless they want to stir up trouble.

Opinions are welcomed here as is OT; unless the opinions or OT aim to run down the Rom, the thread, the thread regulars, or take shots at Nate because he's "taking too long" to drop an update. Nate's Note 3 Alliance thread stayed pretty active nearly a year after he said he was stopping development.

Most PN regulars aren't just here for the goodies, we're here for each other, for users still running PN, and we don't mind waiting to see if Oreo drops.

Those who don't like the way things are here, need to stop coming back.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] iakeco:
Yes they do because things can change.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
You missed the connection. He didn't say go back to see if it changed. He's saying to specifically go to a place and crap on the product, to turn other people off of it.

And if you or anyone does indeed do that, then they are jackasses that need to get checked out for being that salty over something that they don't NEED to use,and he has already done for us for years, for FREE.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] iakeco:
Look in the mirror. I've never bashed any ROMS. All in saying is everyone has their own opinion.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Sure, but that doesn't mean opinions matter, or always need to be stated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] glockman4519:
This is one of the best posts I read in some time. Very well said. I haven't run PN in a while because of testing other roms for personal reasons but I always come to the PN threads and keep up. I usually say nothing because people like you, and others, help out very quickly. Regardless of what the OP does, I am happy to get what he gives us. And this thread is a massive store house of very helpful information. Look forward to continued reading.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikal75:
Is it possible to share with us what was the one handed mode implementation please?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
settings > PN settings > Nav Bar > one handed mode

If you're on the latest PN build, just swipe your finger to the right over the nav bar if you want right hand one-handed mode, or swipe to the left for left hand one-handed mode.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikal75:
Thanks for the reply.

Maybe the question was not clear.

I know how it works and I really found it useful.

I am in stock 8.1 and I am trying to setup one handed mode the PN way! [emoji5]

How the feature was implemented in PN ?

There are couple of ways to do it as far as I know

(e.g. one handed mode app, Xposed module, etc).

I tried the one handed app but it had nothing to do with the PN way which I found very convenient

Thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ranasrule:
I have moved on to a 8.1 rom....just like to come back here once in a while for old times sake.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikal75:
I am also in an 8.1 but I hope PN will make it to 8.1 ... - errr with one handed mode!!!

[emoji16]

I was in PN for a year and more.

So I am checking this thread regularly hoping for an 8.1 BIG COME BACK!!!!

I'm stoxk on my pixel 2xl but keep checking to see if pn is coming out...

I may change my mind about staying on stock if there's a new pn
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
It's a function built into PN. I haven't seen anything available for stock that could provide this service exactly like PN does. I'd assume, with the number of responses you have gotten, that no one here has either. I'd recommend you keep looking for a solution that suits you, or accept one of the currently available apps you've mentioned in your previous posts. Good luck!

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alisj99:
I'm actually still on PN last build, my battery is completely dead at this point (shuts off 5 minutes after I remove the charger) but I'm waiting for 8.1 to see if the problem is solved. if not I will go back to stock build and take it to the warranty in hopes they fix it, if they couldn't I will just order a battery.

I like the Nexus 6p and I don't think any phone out there is worth the change, maybe if Note 9 comes out strong I will make the switch
[Nexus 6P Android Development] reference2myself:
Probably your battery is shot. Install accubattery and see what it's health is, but it sounds like it's toast. It's relatively easy to replace and they only cost like $15.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alisj99:
yeah I'm expecting it is, accubattery doesn't give me a proper indication saying it's like 80% healthy.

problem is I live outside US (middle east to be exact) so finding a nexus 6p battery isn't easy.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] deron.baker:
Can the devs please tell me why this is the only build I've found that will allow me to select 3G as my preferred network and it actually connects to data?

Is it a nougat thing? I for sure couldn't do it on stock Oreo or any Oreo roms. Is it something the devs specifically enabled?

I need help keeping my Nexus on 3G. This ROM does it perfectly but I don't know why. I'm really looking for an Oreo build that will allow it. I've tried using nougat radios from this build but no luck. Changing the network from the secret menu doesn't work either.

I love this build! I just got so used to Oreo. I went back to nougat looking for a build that lets me lock in on H+. My phone works better on H+ than LTE but I swear there's a conspiracy because this is the only ROM that allows it. On any other build including stock I can only do voice when I change my preferred network type to 3G.

Please help. If there's a way I can enable this on any ROM that would be gold!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
Eh? If im understanding what your trying to explain, you want to be connected on 3g rather than LTE on oreo? If so,there is an option in setting to choose network. Settings>network & internet>mobile data>advance?preferred network. You have a choice of LTE, 3G and 2G.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] deron.baker:
Thanks for your help. I've done this but it doesn't work. What I've found is that any ROM built off stock cannot lock in 3G data add a preferred choice. Every ROM I've found built upon AOSP, locks in 3G or H+ if you prefer. It has nothing to do with radio, bootloader, vendor, or OS version. I guess because AOSP is global??? If you dig into the secret menu the nexus will lock great on the option GSM preferred (prl). When I get my post count up I'm going to make a detailed post about my findings.

I def left some details out of my original post. I've been asking questions in other threads trying to piece things together. I have one last thing I ant to figure out but I may just let it go. I'm short on free time and I think I've solved the Misty important issue. Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 06:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 AM ----------

I typed a lengthy reply but the app couldn't post it. In short thank you. But that doesn't lock in 3G. Data never connects. It appears to only work on ROMs built upon AOSP. I'll make a thread about my findings later in case it could help someone.[

S'okay...I cleaned it up for you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jaladhjin:
I noticed something I find unusual..

Still on PN..

When I used to restart my phone it'd ask me for a PIN.. I believe to decrypt my data partition right ?

One day it just stopped doing that.. it boots right up to the loading animation.. then the main homescreen & a little warning about my build number not being right but it all still works..

I used to get that build # wrong twice once when I put my little pin in on boot then again at homescreen load..

I went into my phone settings & it still says phone encrypted.. when I tap that it doesn't show me anything else though or ask if I want to decrypt or anything.. which maybe it never did..

What's going on ?

Using PN 7.1.2 Root via Magisk & TWRP
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
Vendor image is not matching rom build is why you are getting the build warning. There is a setting when you enable your security whether or not you want to enforce it when you boot your phone or not. Try to disable your security then add it back in and it should ask you if you want to enable it on boot as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zetret:
Is there an Oreo version being worked on? How can I get involved? I have Java dev skills with Android Studio.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Hey,

Quick question: I was told I should flash the latest factory image if I want to move from a Nougat custom ROM (PN) to an Oreo custom ROM, if I want to avoid any trouble. I would like to keep TWRP and my internal data (sdcard) intact.

Should I just:

- use advanced wipe in TWRP and wipe system/data/cache/dalvik;

- fastboot flash the stock boot.img, system.img and vendor.img;

- then flash the custom ROM + vendor + Gapps + custom kernel + Magisk (for root)?

My radio and bootloader are already up to date.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
No need, but it's always a good idea to have the latest factory image on a pc ready to flash is case you run into problems.

Follow the rom's op for instructions on flashing. Generally latest vendor, rom, gapps (if needed), and root method. Keeping your radio and bootloader up to date is a good idea.

My Fiance's LG G3 took a crap (hardware failure). Of course it happened while I was working on the phone and was "naturally to blame". Got her a Blu Vivo XL2 which was decent but ended up not being new but cleverly repacked to look new. Phone was mediocre any way. Got her a Sony Xperia XA Ultra. Pretty nice device so far, impressed
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikal75:
Just a question - please don't get me wrong

Is the Pure Nexus project stopped in general or just the 6p one?

I personally had a go in 8.1 stock and then in ABC ROM but I came back to PN (mostly due to the one hand mode that... ROCKS !!!! ).

I don't mind staying in 7.1 PN - It's stable and does the job more than fine for me (everything I need is included)

I m checking this thread in daily basis and I saw a post from BEANS a while ago that he is back in action. I can fully understand his reasoning of stopping support 6p , but he didn't mention that.

Does anybody know if Beans is ok and what goes on?

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
Nate already addressed this. He will release at least one update for sure.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Hey, I might be moving to this ROM. Can you tell me if there are any other features missing that are on PN please?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Perhaps this is best answered in private or in its own Q&A thread.

Thanks

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Sure but where is this Q&A thread? I only see the "Discussion" and "Reviews" tabs here.

I was also thinking this might help other PN users moving on. Yes, Beans said he would update it to Oreo and I'd be happy if he did but it's been months since his latest post here. So while we all respect his work, can't we use this thread to help each other finding a good alternative?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
I am talking about the Nexus 6P Q&A forum https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/help where it is best to create questions about other ROMs like "What are the differences between PN and XYZ or ABC ROMs?" Or "What do you think is the best Oreo ROM for the 6P and why?"

It is considered disrespectful to talk about other ROMs in someone's ROM thread. Thanks for understanding.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Right, I thought PN had a dedicated Q&A forum.

I understand and no disrespect intended but PN is pretty much dead, unfortunately.

Well, I hope people will be reading the Q&A section then (I feel like this thread is somewhat more active).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DevALT:
I upgraded to a pixel 2 XL and I had to leave PN :c

Currently using DU ROM and tried every ROM honestly if you looking for a 8.1 ROM I suggest you Nitrogen OS (similar to PN) or DU ROM

I miss PN for sure but I was able to find every feature I was using in PN using mod or xposed

The only thing I wasn't able yet to make it work was Dolby

[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
I understand but people coming in here to say this is dead when the developer posted his difficulties in RL and how he will be doing his best to bring this device up to Oreo, just adds to disrespect to Nate who gave so much of his free time to this project.

Thanks for your and everyone else's understanding.

This thread continues with the community that has been here helping members that go to Oreo then wish to come right back here since they found Oreo wanting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zcehtro:
Hi guys. I've been using Pure Nexus for a couple months now.

Build is PN + Magisk + Xposed + Geenify + Amplify. WhatsApp is whitelisted from Doze.

Only issue I've encountered so far are a few apps that are crashing and can't run. For instance, I can't get AirBnb to run, it always opens, then crashes. This has been happening since with PN + Magisk only, then installed up to Amplify, and still the same. I had to greenify the app to keep it from repeatedly asking to wait or close.

Has anybody encountered similar issues, and knows how to solve it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
Dunno if this matters but are you using or have changed the dpi display settings? Try running it in default dpi if so, clear cache and data on the app then relaunch.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zcehtro:
Haven't changed DPI, still on Pure Nexus default.

Here's what I've done:

- Completely uninstalled it and reinstalled.

- Cleared data and cache.

- Rebooted in TWRP and wiped dalvik+cache, with app installed.

- Whitelisted it so that Doze doesn't send it to sleep.

- Ungreenified it.

And it still crashes. Any other ideas?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
Clean flash. No extras. At all. Install app. Then your extras one by one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] OneCheekyDevil:
Are you using substratum?

If yes, uninstall any applied themes for the crashing apps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
How could i not have thought of that.

Nope. No substratum.

Already did this. Initial install was Pure Nexus + Magisk. Airbnb app didn't work here from the start.

Just a quick thank you and GL

Hey now. So, been away a while and yes, I'm a laggard...

Just "got around" to updating from PN 6.0.1 to PN 7.1.2 and wanted to say thank you to you Beanstown for all the hard work (and for the superior end results) on this ROM. Really is a treat on my phone and after this reflash, new life for my N6P. So thanks again.

I see you had some issues and took some time off. I don't know what all went on but I wish you well. If you never release another ROM, Salud to you anyway. You've given plenty and owe nothing so fk all the naysayers. Really.

Wish you well, advise you to take care of self first (always), and hope you stay strong. And do wtf makes you happy dude.

If there's a new Pure the next time I come through (Oreo or "Peanut butter" (or whatever tf P is called) or Quinoa (or whatever letter we're up to when I get back here)) then gravy bro :good: :cool:. You've made this already good device better in a hundred ways so much thanks to you.

You're up there with Deck in my book. Legendary. (Shouts to Deck, Ropadope and RIP my beloved Evo 4G)

Hey guys, so a weird thing is happening since the past couple of days. The google temperature widget on home screen ia just showing the day and not the temperature. I tried tapping it and holding it doesn't open the google temperature card. I tried clearing cache and dirty flashing the rom again to no avail. Any ideas???

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
Nope, it is on. It was working fine before but it just stopped.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Dirty flashing won't help because somewhere there is bad data causing it not to work. Not sure where that widget is controlled from...Google app or if there is a Weather app but you will need to wipe data in that app...if that don't work it will need a clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
Ok thanks i figured I'd have to do a clean flash just wanted to see if i could avoid all the backup and restore. I did clear cache for pixel launcher it reset my homscreen but not that widget. I'll try clearing cache of a few more apps or sigh! I'll do a clean flash.

Thanks for your help bud!!

Cheers
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
I doubt clearing cache will help as it is most likely data that is corrupted on the app. You could always download another weather app and use that widget to avoid the clean flash.
