The user I replied to sounded like he was concerned about losing apps and things on his internal storage, so I gave him scenarios that would cause him to lose those things, not wipe absolutely positively EVERYTHING, including /system.

I know most of those scenarios don't wipe /system, I'm not new to this. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say in my post. I do think that my reply could have been worded better to indicate that he would only lose items stored in /data.

I have tried a few substratum themes and have been trying to remove all of them and revert back to how pure nexus was after initial flash (before themes). No matter what I do, some themed items remain. What is the best way to remove all themed content added via substratum and return to rom default theme?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Alexandgut:
Flash the substratum rescue zip in TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Follow the instructions from The Flash in the first/second post. They have step by step what you need to do so you ensure you don't mess up.

I don't want anything appearing in a diaper in my ROM...

You can...

1. Open Substratum

3. Wonder why there is no #2 in this list

4. Tap the menu button.

5. Tap the Overlay List text.

6. Tap the switch next to "Select to toggle all overlays".

7. Again wonder what happened to #2.

8. Tap the fast action button at the bottom right, then UNINSTALL SELECTED.

You can alternatively do 1 through 4, skipping #2 (it is unnecessary here), tap on recovery, do #7 above, and then tap Restore Theme.

If this was helpful, funny, or annoying, please hit the thanks button, then my profile link, then all of my previous posts, and thank them too, funny, helpful, annoying, or not.

Thanks all! I managed to transition to the latest build smoothly. Running better than ever! I almost got myself in trouble with gapps. Apparently it's not baked into the rom anymore. My battery is dying at 15 so I'm going to try wiping battery stats and caches.

Maybe a stupid question...If I am running the latest PN and want to go back to stock Oreo, what do I need to do? So far I have the following instructions, but I am not sure if this considers that I am coming from a custom ROM:

1. Download and Install Google’s USB Drivers on the PC

2. Enable Developer Mode on the Nexus 6P

3. Enable USB Debugging Mode on the Nexus 6P

4. Download the Nexus 6P Stock Firmware to the PC

5. Extract the Contents of the Nexus 6P Stock Firmware

6. Install the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tools

7. Launch the ADB & Fastboot Shortcut it Created

8. Type the Following Command into the Command Prompt. . .

adb devices

9. . . .Then Press Enter on the Keyboard

10. Connect the Nexus 6P to the PC with a USB Cable

11. If Prompted, Allow Access to USB Debugging on the Nexus 6P from the PC

12. Then Disconnect the Nexus 6P from the PC

13. Copy/Move the Contents of the Android Firmware into the ADB & Fastboot Install Directory

For Me, This Directory is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot”

14. Boot the Nexus 6P into Fastboot Mode

15. Connect the Nexus 6P Back to the PC Again

16. In the Command Prompt, Type the Following Command. . .

flash-all.bat

. . .Then Press Enter on the Keyboard

17. Wait Until the Process is Finished and the Nexus 6P Reboots

Thank you in advance for your help all!

The flashall.bat file will do it all. Remember that it will also wipe your phone completely, so backup anything you want to keep.

Hey there,

I was unlucky enough for mine to start turning off at 30-40%

It's an easy fix with a new battery. I personally couldn't bother flashing back to stock, having Google hold $1200 on my credit card while I wait for a refurbished phone. There's another thread for this issue if you search. Buy a Cameron Sino battery from Europe and a new camera lens in case you break it while removing. Guide to strip down the phone and what tools you need on iFixit.

Don't worry, you still have a kick ass phone, just give it some TLC.

Good luck. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I did my return through Nexus protect and only got charged my $79 fee. I didn't get a hold put on any credit cards for any amount. I potentially have a $1,000 charge coming to me because my phone is stuck in Houston for the hurricane. Let's see how that turns out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I have read a few accounts where the battery replacement resolved the issue temporarily, but it returned soon after..

This COULD be due to the type of battery (cheaper batteries), and the battery you're referring to seems to be the replacement battery of choice.

I just recently changed my battery out. First time I purchased a no OEM battery. It was DOA. Second battery I made sure to purchase OEM. I installed it on Monday this week. So far it's been great. I am back up to 3 hrs+ SOT. Now, will it happen again, maybe, but my original battery lasted nearly 2 years. I'll take another two years to avoid spending the ridiculous price of phones today. I hope they hurry and get folding phones out or some other gimmick so that these "regular" smartphones go back down in price.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
After getting my replacement (thanks Google) I'm back up to 4+ hr SOT and 99% battery health according to Accubattery. I'll stick with the 6P until Nate starts devving a better device that I want :D

I appreciate the kind words. I love being a Moderator. It can be a thankless job at times, but after being a Marine, and a police officer, and married for 30 yrs, I'm used to it :p

As for the 1911 (mine are Kimbers), I refuse carry anything else!

I have an off topic question that is still kinda related to PN. Is there a recommended app for boosting handset and headphone volume on the 6p? I've heard of Viper4Android but wasn't sure if it would increase the volume much and if using it would cause me to take a significant battery drain hit. Finally, any issues running it with the stock PN build and kernal?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Not to answer for him, but there is starting to be some activity on his GitHub. I read on another rom's thread that there are a lot of changes in Oreo so it may take a while. I'm sure it'll be great as always when it does land.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
Maybe I am just very unlucky but I got a refurb from google a couple months ago and that one started to die early. Even at like 70%. Replaced the battery, good for a week, started doing it again. Now on 2nd refurb, died last night again at 15%. That time it died while it was booting up where the hopping dots are before the google logo.

I have a new battery for this one waiting at the house because acubattery is saying 85%.

The one thing I notice is the two refurbs I have are October 2015 build dates. I wonder if there is just a bad batch out there. I bought my original phone in Dec 2015 so it could have been the same build date as well. Probably was. I put a EX kernel on today to see if that does anything.

I have a replacement battery (supposedly OEM) plus tools and an extra back cover coming today. Somebody on Reddit pointed out that if you order a new back, you don't have to worry about damaging anything when you take it apart. Also, I have a round piece of metal stuck to my current back that I was using for a magnetic mount that has been annoying me and my volume buttons got jacked up in a fall a while ago. The new back will fix all of that.

All ordered off eBay 3 days ago for less than $25. ???

New back may not include camera glass, which you may very well break, The glass is about $8 or so.

I searched this thread for "dynamic navbar" and found lots of instances of people asking about it, but not many responses other than to use xposed. So, I've went ahead and added the dynamic navbar mod to the 7/25/17 - 7.1.2_r24 (the latest version, I believe) version's framework-res.apk. I'm going to post it here so that others can use it, but if that violates something, someone let me know and I'll take it down.

I take no credit for anything other than putting in the two minutes it took to add this to the Pure Nexus framework-res.apk. How to do that is multiple places on the web, although at this point it's pretty common knowledge.

In any event, proceed with the usual cautiousness like making a copy of your current framework-res.apk first, etc.

If you've modded the Pure Nexus framework-res.apk, then this will revert it back to "stock" Pure Nexus. So you'll have to start over with this one.

This flashable zip contains only the framework-res.apk from the 7/25/17 - 7.1.2_r24 Pure Nexus ROM.

9/9/17 update

In my original upload I forgot to include the part of the mod that makes the keyboard-up-navbar color transparent so that you can still see the app color in the navbar even the keyboard is in use. I've added that "fix" to v2.

Thanks man! It works great. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] slaydog:
All is done, and it seems to have gone off without a hitch. I made no attempt to avoid breaking the glass cover, and was able to get the back off by just bending the aluminum away at the charging port. Didn't mind sacrificing the back, just very careful not to apply any pressure to the screen and other internals.

Everything is working great, just charging and waiting to see how the battery performs...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Hellsigh:

Would you share where did you get the battery, tools and back cover??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] slaydog:

And this battery/kit:

http://m.ebay.com/itm/262990773997?_mwBanner=1

Just noticed that the cover I got was $25, thought I got one that was $12, but oh well, it was perfect...

This was my inspiration, see Imgur link:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/660ffm/nexus_6p_35_battery_swap_tutorial

But I was following along with a YouTube video or 2

Battery life has been phenomenal! Charged it 9 hours ago and with 3.5 hrs SOT I'm still at 35%. Just noticed it's not going into deep sleep mode either, so once I get that sorted out it should be even better. It usually sleeps like a baby, that's the only thing that has saved me these past months...

Pure Nexus Pixel Launcher Mods

[IMG="Mods for the Pure Nexus Pixel Launcher"]http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae293/Sharkie405/021a0204-2623-4a14-82d9-1bc1e50fbe17_zps3v8qjoy0.png[/IMG] [IMG="Mods for the Pure Nexus Pixel Launcher"]http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae293/Sharkie405/6f455db8-59e6-4091-8655-80990c6cba8d_zpsqr1wmxqg.png[/IMG]

I've modded the Pixel Launcher that comes with the latest release of Pure Nexus to my liking. Sharing in case others also prefer it this way.

So far as I can tell, the Pixel Launcher that comes in this ROM is not modded by Pure Nexus in any way, and so this launcher would probably work on any ROM; however, as it's a system app it needs the same signature as all of the other Pure Nexus system apps. This particular Pixel Launcher has that same signature and so I guess it will only work with the purenexus_angler-7.1.2-20170725-OFFICIAL ROM... but I could be wrong.

Changes:

7 rows on homescreen

Smaller home icons

Removed text from home screen icons (Folders and deep shortcuts still have text)

Transparent app drawer

White icon text in app drawer (needed because the default dark color doesn't show up well on dark wallpapers)

Added shadow text to app drawer icon text (needed so text stands out again light backgrounds)

Hotseat made smaller

Removed homescreen page indicator

Smaller Google pill (to better match smaller icons)

Removed app drawer up arrow indicator from homescreen

Darkened app drawer navbar background (so navbar buttons weren't so lost amidst the icons)

Changed app drawer search bar text to white (I wanted to get rid of it all together, but couldn't figure it out. Since it had to stay, white text looks better as it matches the icon text color.)

As always, have a back up handy. I'm not responsible for your device.

This flashable zip contains only the NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk from the Pure Nexus ROM.

People have said it works fine for chip enabled cards and stations. I think essentially the phone takes the place of the chip.

I'm hoping we get multi ROM so we can leave a stock setup in place to reboot to when using android pay. But until whatever loophole is patched I'll enjoy using it on chroma if I feel the need

Honestly I think Samsung pay is the better implementation, but then you are stuck with Samsung and carrier bs

Hi everyone,

I've been a flashoholic a couple of years ago, then went silent as I got a new company phone. Now I'm back with a Nexus 6p and this is the first ROM I've installed on that device. I've had some problems (experimenting with Layers, Sensify, having wrong vendor.img etc... but this forum helped me). I'm still experimenting with getting things as I want them, but that is what is fun also, right? :)

Wish you all a Merry Christmas, and thank you for a great ROM!

From a few pages ago...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Thegn:
Phew! My first help post here, hope I don't say anything wrong. But I've been through the same issue as you.

Perhaps an easier startup point is to first upgrade via OTA to 6.0.1 (I did not).

First:

Copy the Vendor zip, ROM zip and GAPPS zip to your phone (found in first post).

Follow this post and make sure you have a connection with your phone via your PC/MAC (ie ADB/fastboot get a connection).

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

Go through the unlock, Root, TWRP things exactly as the guide says.

Backup EFS, backup, backup!!!!!!

If you are not on 6.0.1, then:

Then visit this page to get the latest Google stock Nexus images for your phone (you'll want Angler 6.0.1 MMB29M íf you will flash Pure Nexus Project):

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Unpack all that and then flash radio, vendor by the guide:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

Boot into TWRP

Make sure you have a Nandroid backup. See to it you have the vendor img, ROM and GAPPS on your phones Internal Storage.

Wipe Dalvik, System, Data and Cache.

Install the updated Vendor zip in first post, install ROM, install recommended GAPPS mentioned in the first post.

But, hey! I had some issues. Somebody else might have a better foolproof way. I had to flash, reflash a lot before I got the hang of it with this phone. Still learning.

Is anyone else's bluetooth audio volume reset to zero when it connects to an external speaker (for me, it's my car)? When I turn my car on, it usually auto connects to the bluetooth and starts playing music right away but lately it was just quiet, turns out it's because the volume is all the way down to zero and I"d have to increase it everytime.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
It's a known issue with certain cellular companies, and a problem on stock. There are posts about this on nearly every rom thread.

It's annoying, but for now, you can flash one of the older modems and it will take care of the issue until Google fixes it.

Of course it does. The only kernel of which I'm aware that it won't flash is Franco, and even then, going the systemless root route allows anyone to flash that kernel.

Not mine...though some have mentioned Bluetooth issues, I've had zero....my car, my headset and my external speaker all work just fine, and the volume stays where I left it, even on reboot
