I did replace my own battery. It was very tedious but weeeelllll worth it. If you break your glass camera cover, you can get a replacement piece from the company I used to get the new battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Hinesight 20/20:
Right on. I haven't had the courage to open up and work on my phones since my S-4. I have all the tools, and it's nice to know that replacing my battery is doable. I love my 6p. As of now though my battery is awesome. It sucks that some users have had bummer battery experiences.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] betahaedar:
Thanks a lot to the developers for this ROM. I've used this for quite a long time now.

Anyway, I was wandering if there are any difference of quality between the stock camera and the camera on this ROM? I haven't tried to make any comparison, so maybe someone can help me answer this question.

Thank you :)

Anyone notice Google Play services and Instant Apps occasionally auto update themselves even though auto-updates is off and Instant Apps is off? Noticed this odd behavior for the past 2 or 3 months.

IE: Instant Apps auto-updated last night right after I disconnecting from power. GPSvcs seems to update after a turning on the phone and being off for a few days.

I did a new battery this week too. I've had my 6P since launch so my battery health was pretty poor. About a month ago it really started tanking as well as doing the ~30% shutoff. Replaced the battery this week and it's like my day 1 love for this phone all over again. So happy now, the 6P has been my favorite phone ever and now i have no reason to get anything new.

Here is the guide i followed, it took me about 20mins.

Google Play Services, and the Play Store always update themselves in the background. Has for as long as I can remember. That's the way it's supposed to work. Auto Updates in play store settings has no effect on them and never has. Instant Apps works the same way now. In fact you can remove Instant Apps with TiBu and it will download and install itself in the background again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mesmurized:
Thanks for the heads up. Never noticed before on MM and the new Instant Apps on MM and N

if i go back to the last version of pure nexus marshmallow... is it necessary to revert back the bootloader radio and twrp to the versions that were current at that time?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mesmurized:
Vendor definitely. Bootloader & radio I would but probably not. TWRP no.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
Hi all.

Does anyone know if there is a way to hide cell service only when you're connected to Wi-Fi? I like having as little amount of icons as possible.

I'm currently just hiding the service indicator altogether.

I'm running magisk as well, if there is a module or mod needed.

Figured I'd see if there was anything baked in before adding to the ROM.

Thanks guys!

I tried whitelisting servers, that didn't work. I disabled Adaway and magically the battery drain disappeared. Goddamnit. What changed in recent GPM versions that decided to ping ad servers non-stop? That's some bull****, I pay for GPM, too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nightshadow931:
So I should start looking for another music player..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
Encore might be a decent substitute. It allows you to play gpm and Spotify. It's not perfect, but it might ping less for ads

Edit: forgot you have to buy the Google play music plugin. Sorry

[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
Google uses a lot of different ad hosts for GPM. I noticed on pc with ublock the number of ads/trackers goes to 1k+ in a short period. Obviously it's not that many unique ads and trackers. But it means they aren't using a small amount, for sure.

Requesting advice ?. I've just flashed PN latest build and rooted with SU. New phone for me and I'm looking forward to running PN. The only other mod I've flashed is the 3Minit Battery. So I'm looking to apply a theme, but I wanted ask for recommendations for reliable themes for this build.

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Substratum and this will be my first experience with it. Any tips are much appreciated.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Here are a few resources for you:

Substratum Q&A thread

PN FAQs, Section 2 on Substratum

Of course, there's always "searching the thread"

Trial and error and just using it are them best ways to get what you want out of it!

Enjoy!

It's likely you. I've had neither, and I don't recall a bunch of reports about it in the thread.

Post the files you flashed, which SU you use, added modules like Xposed, etc, and you'll get a much better troubleshooting response.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wilbarger:
Just you. Never had those issues with this rom. Did you clean flash? Any custom kernel???? More information will be needed before you could expect help unless you want wild guesses. Seriously, I have not seen significant issues like this.

Hello all, hope I don't get flamed for this but has it be speculated when we might see 7.12? Yes I did a very quick search but might have missed it. Been itching to try the Cortex ROM but PN has been so good and frankly it's the reason I haven't moved on to something a little bit snappier. Thank for any info!

Straight from the OP regarding when updates come:

"4.3 Q: When will Pure Nexus get an update (for the new security patch, etc)?

4.3 A: This shouldn't even be a question you are asking on XDA as ETAs are forbidden due to the free nature of the work provided. However, Beans aims to have the update merged as quickly as possible (consult Github to see) and then released relatively soon. Keep in mind releasing for three devices is not a trivial task."

I'm having very strange radio problems -- I full flashed stock 601, then rooted, recovery, etc. then flashed this ROM + vendor... Now, my signal meter never shows LTE (H+ or E)... when I flashed back an older radio somehow I lost root. I know HOW to flash older radio, but why would it mess up ROOT? Anyone else with RADIO issues on 601???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] krabman:
It is on the market, install a spoofer if it isn't available in your area. Or simply flash the Fi dialer, either way works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Not sure what happened with root and the radio but as for the first issue, it is a stock 6.0.1 issue, Google is looking into it: source

So am i curious, I know there are several custom kernels out there, Any opinions on which ones are the best or not? Have been looking at the AK kernel but just wondering which ones if any everyone has had the best luck with?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dwertz:
I have been using google voice. It sends voice to text to my mms and in the phone dialer it shows the message so you can play it. Last I thought Youmail charges like $5 to $10 a month?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
To be honest, the only person that can answer this question is you. All of the kernels available are good in their own way, it really comes down to what you are looking for in a kernel. Features and stability vary from kernel to kernel and device to device due to usage. I am a fan of ElementalX myself but the other kernels may be better for you. My advice: test three or four for at least two or three days and decide based on that. Flashing and changing kernels is super easy (just dirty flash ROM zip then flash kernel) so it is not hard to test a few out. Good luck!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] slick97477:
Thank You very much for the quick reply. I was figuring that it would depend alot on what i would want and how i use my device(Nexus 6P). I will be doing that for sure to test a few out

[Nexus 6P Android Development] WizeGuyDezignz:
Like Nathan said, it will come down to your personal preference. But here is my personal recommendation.

Kylo kernel 19.1. I am using the Uber 4.9 version. I've found it to have excellent battery life and a good amount of performance too. The idle battery life is exceptional. Your percentage will literally not go down while idle.

I know there are bigger names around these parts, but Kylo is excellent!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tiger505:
Probably getting away about discussion about Pure Rom but as an FYI I have over 3000 contacts and Youmail answers everyone of my clients with saying Hello "Sally" or whatever the first name....clients are most impressed! And yes I do pay $5 per month as I elected to get the extra that reads my voice mails to text...so I do not have to listen to the message I can just glance at the phone and read what the message says, huge plus.

Along with those 3k + contacts I'm a bit of power user as my Nexus is a work phone so I'm on it most of the day. Pure Rom works flawless with my over 150+ apps. I'm on Verizon and have not had any issues with LTE and last night upgraded to the new release with a dirty flash. Yes there were a few tweaks I had to do, but so far all is so Pure !!!

Kinda like a cats motor, just Purring :o

That day was an exception and I had listened for about 2 hours, but today I haven't touched the phone at all (except listening to music during 10 min drive to work in the morning) and now 7 hours later phone is at 40%, at this rate it won't last me until evening, SOT is 1 min 47 sec. This version is TERRIBLE. Can I dirty flash the previous one? Main battery usage is Google Services 20% Google Play Music 9%, Android System 6% and some others 1%, no way those gonna add up to 60%!

Edit: ok I just thought about it and around the same time I flashed the newest PN there was some update to GPM because it used to stop music playback .. maybe they changed something and indeed it pings ad servers constantly (I am using Adaway). I just killed the process and I'll see in a bit if Doze kicks in, if it does well.. goodbye GPM subscription, this app has annoyed me enough already.

Edit2: half hour later and my battery chart is completely flat. Damn...

I keep having problems with Google's reminders, I've been trying to figure this out for the last month or so. My wife is running stock now and is not having these problems.

Is anyone else having big problems with Google's reminders?

I will add a reminder and it'll never go off, or I will add two or three reminders and other ones I had before will disappear. I'll come home and to reminders from 2 months ago keep popping up and the other ones disappear. Have cleared data on the Google app and so far that hasn't helped. Just posted here because I don't know if it could be something wrong related and everyone here is so helpful and somebody else maybe having the same issue.

Example, last night with all reminders cleared I added 3 new reminders, one for this morning at 9:01 for this morning at 11 and one for when I get to work. I'm still at home and checked my reminders this morning and the one for work is gone.

Regarding GPM, AdAway, and severe battery loss:

I uninstalled GPM and reinstalled an older version (7.3), then used TiBu to detach the app from the App Store (so I don't accidentally update it, or have to ignore the update each time). Re-enabled AdAway and hopefully that'll solve it. Why Google must you make this difficult?

Not sure when this started, possibly when I clean-flashed a couple weeks ago.

My email inboxes no longer get updated (outlook.com) automatically (not consistently, anyway). This happens with Bluemail, which I've been using for a long time, and Alto, which I just installed to test.

Sometimes I can manually refresh my inbox, but sometimes this will not retrieve new emails.

Other that running Magisk, I'm fairly stock PN (7.1.1-20170215). Any idea?

Not to start a flame war, (or convince you of the error of your ways :) ) but I haven't seen an ad on my phone in 6 years.

While we're sorta on the subject - the one thing i (still) miss from Xposed was MinMinGuard's ability to remove the black area where ads would display. Does anybody know of anything that does the same thing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aakanayev:
Just to weight in, I've been using Adguard (the premium one) on rooted Nexus (this rom), and I have no measurable battery use by Adguard. I get 5+ hours sot over the whole day, or a bit more if I'm on the phone a lot.

Additionally I just want to ask (not asking about ETA or anything), but this rom is still being updated, right? I'm asking because I was on MegaPixel before it got abandoned (

The battery usage on Adguard is almost none, the view that shows you it's using a ton of battery is because all of your internet traffic gets routed through there. They have some articles about it on their website and they talked about it in their thread.
