Did you let Google restore data? Did you restore data with TB? If you did either then that is why...it just restored the same bad data.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
I did setup my device from google restore and i don't use TB. I'll set up it as a new device after a clean flash and I'll keep you posted. Thanks ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Yeah, if it restored data from after the widget went bad then same thing happens. I am assuming this is the Pixel launcher, correct? Maybe remember how your launcher was set up and try wiping data in Pixel launcher.

I see some people having difficulty setting up the widget right from the start when searching Google for this issue...maybe check some of those solutions out too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
I uninstalled the google update and it worked, all this was caused by the new google update. I should have been more aware on when this bug appeared. Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Glad you figured it out!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
Its the app. It being updated is what i meant. Maybe time to update from stock pn launcher. You can use ruthless launcher. Which is based off the latest pixel launcher with alot of features in regards to displaying weather etc. Someone just posted a link a few oages back. After installing try uodating the app once again and then try. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neilkesh:
I did look into ruthless launcher but since I'm on PN the package name for both the launchers is the same so i cannot install it without rooting and replacing the original launcher. Not enough time to mess around, I'll eventually look into it whenever i have some free time. Thanks though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sweetie:
can you share the source code of Nougat branch? I can't find it on git url which you gave in the post!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] alisj99:
guys, could a battery problem (been dying at 90%, the usual nexus problem) not let you boot into recovery?

I'm stuck in a bootloop all of a sudden (my battery was dying and I was planning to back up my phone and send it for fix) but can't even boot into recovery.

so I just wanna make sure if it's a battery issue or another hardware problem. I got lazy and now I can't boot into anything but the bootloader and there are some data I need (screw being lazy man)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Could be your battery and/or your mother board ?

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/deve...-layers-fi-wifi-calling-t3244563/post75886317
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alisj99:
considering I had issues with the battery I am hoping it's a battery issue that could be fixable. if it's a motherboard I'm done for I think and my data will not be retrievable.

Are you sure Battery could create such conditions (unbootable OS & recovery)?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
I'm not sure about anything my friend. I'm just sharing information regarding your issue that several others have had. Do a search for.."mother board" in this thread. Then you'll see what I mean :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alisj99:
oh, you're absolutely right. I know that this issue is mainly due to the motherboard and/or the 4 BIG cores. however I want an educated opinion regarding battery issues causing such conditions ( so I try to fix the battery THEN try to replace the whole device)

thanks for your help!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eraursls1984:
I'm looking to flash PN, but I want to backup all my pictures and videos first. I haven't been able to get OTG to work, I found a work around on MAC's (handshake) but it takes forever and I have to move everything twice, and it doesn't show up on my PC (the same one I rooted it with). Anyone have any good methods for transferring files so I can finally flash PN?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Aren't they backed up on your Google account?

Other options include uploading to cloud services like Drop Box or Google Drive.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Get yourself one of those little adapters so you can plug a thumb drive into into your phone. Made life so much easier for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
THIS!

Yeah! In your honor kind sir! ?

Wow you just took what I said to a whole nother level!! I didn't even think to look for actual USB c thumb drive lol.

He did say he couldn't get otg to work....

I'm thinking he has bigger issues if otg, pc, and Mac aren't working....

---------- Post added at 02:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:14 PM ----------

Did you try your otg in recovery? Uninstall/install drivers on pc?

If you're having issues connecting to your pc or otg, is there a problem with your USB port on your phone? I use otg drives a lot and haven't had a problem. On any device. (well, second generation Kindle with cm i did)

Edit: labs thought it was cool to triple post the reply. :eek:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eraursls1984:
Thanks, but I'm not going to use any cloud storage unless I set up my own (I plan to eventually). I don't trust them, and I don't want to pay for it monthly.

I have a few, but they have never worked on my 6P.

The only thing that has worked in the past was my PC, and handshake for MAC. Handshake still works, but it limits the file types I can transfer, doesn't allow moving folders, and doesn't allow me to use it while I have a usb drive in (a limitation by Apple to nudge users onto iPhones).

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

OTG has never worked on my phone, and I've never had an issue with the port. Which sucks, because my main hesitation with this phone was the lack of a microSD slot. I got it anyway thinking I'd use OTG daily, but it never worked.

My PC is old as dirt, I only keep it around to root my phones. I'm going to attempt to reinstall drivers, but it didn't even prompt me to like it normally does if you plug a phone in that it doesn't have drivers for.

From my research MAC's require work arounds, and they are not very user friendly (mostly because of Apple). I use Handshake, I'm just looking for a way I can drag and drop everything and let it go. With handshake I have to do small bits at a time, and check to make sure everything transferred. It's fairly common that some files get skipped. It would probably take me 50+ hours to move the 27 gb of pictures and videos based on how long it has taken in the past to move a couple gb at the time.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lildimsum7:
Are you kidding me... Cloud storage is your best option, and you don't have to pay monthly to store photos and video on Google photos
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eraursls1984:
How do you get it free? I've only seen the option for 15 GB free. Plus, I do not trust them. I do think cloud storage is a great option, but only once I set up my own.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DavePKR:
Why you guys still try to keep "hard" this thread?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
There are generally 2 kinds of people in this thread;

Those who come here to check in, patiently waiting for an Oreo updated PN.

Those who come here only to ridicule those patiently waiting.

The real questions are, which one are you, and why?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
SMDH

I'm the third type, I'm patiently waiting for PN Oreo but I have been known to ridicule those deserving of it :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
I only come here for the entertainment! :p

Like when someone who has no notion of community or family and asks why we stay at this family picnic :silly:

And we're the family that puts the fun in dysfunctional. :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zcehtro:
Nope. Never worked from the start. Does Airbnb work for anybody else?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jackfrost909:
On my last go around I used an app from the Play store called Wifi FTP. Small FTP server sits on your phone and you grab the stuff over wifi with ftp client on your PC/MAC/whatever. Not the fastest transfer I've ever seen but fast enough and got the job done. You can use Filezilla or any FTP client but I used Beyond Compare on the PC side which makes it easy to verify nothing skipped and it does CRC on the transferred files helping make sure transfers are in tact. BC is paid software but has a 30 day trial iirc.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
While I love my Pixel 2 XL, I really do miss my Nexus 6P :( It was my first phone that I really liked. I impulsively go on and off swappa wanting to buy one again as a backup but keep talking myself out of it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jamiejames:
That being said. I pull mine out now and then. Always amazed what a great device it really is. Still one of my favorites.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
It really is, it performed well, nice size, felt very premium. RIP Nexus lineup...

Oh I know this one and it's simple. It's because it's a great place to pick up women. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Mine ended up with the battery bug and they replaced it with a refurb which I still keep as a backup for both my personal line and for my work line since it works on any carrier. But also love my Pixel 2XL with its ridiculous batter life.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Can we get a Moderator to clean this off-topic up? I mean, this serious off-topic distraction is distracting from the current off-topic distraction going on here.

I don't know .. The way you have it quoted it makes a nice little story.

Still love my 6P as well. Not my main phone anymore but if it would last forever I'd use it forever. Still do for a couple days at a time. Mine never got the bug. Not yet anyway.

Has anyone tried using the last build of the flash kernel from nathan chance? What is the appropriate version of his kernel to flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
Found his new archives. You want the latest 7.1.2 compatible version, which is v2.5.

I saw them earlier today givin it a go right now. Reverted back on the 6p to pn sknce oreo was givjng me problems with temp of the phone. Some reason my phone would get hotter than usual when i was on oreo.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
What's going on here? Usually there is some lively and entertaining Off topic going on but it seems the crickets have taken over...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
To me it seems like lately the whole 6P forum has been slowing down. The device is almost 3 years old, so I believe along with that and it's hardware issues it just isn't as popular as it used to be...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ghisy:
Even though a bunch of (ex) PN users check in here from time to time, I think most of us have moved on to a different phone. I did, after hesitating for a while, go for a Pixel 2 XL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
I still check in now and again but, since there's been no activity on PN GitHub for nearly three months and my 6Ps second battery was starting to die, I moved to a cheap, eBayed 5T as there's loads of development for the device.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] swamp2:
Been trying out another 8.1 ROM and ugh, painful.

Calls do not ring or have any notification unless you switch from LTE->3G

Ultimate Rotation Control app does not work - settings do not stick

Reverse volume control buttons when in landscape mode option does not stick

Apps randomly quit much more frequently

Much less reliable than PN 7.1. Praying for PN 8... Any other suggestions for a reasonably solid 8.1 ROM with some customization for both status bar and navigation bar?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Best to post this question in Q&A. Talk about other ROMs here is not a good idea.

If you need help coming back to PN, this would be the thread to ask in.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Yep, and It's not disrespectful to say so, it's simply being realistic.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] swamp2:
I thought about my post before making it. Due to what we all expect and enjoy(ed) about PN, I wanted to ask this group about other suggested options. Thanks for not deleting the post. Responses by PM are obviously fine if that helps maintain the desired integrity/focus of the thread.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
I was a Pure Nexus junkie and loved what PN did for this phone. Alas, I have recently moved on to another ROM that is Android 8.1 based and am very happy. I wish and hope that PN will come out with an 8.1 based ROM because I am very grateful for what Nate did for this phone.

I do check in from time to time just in case there is a new release, which I would gladly flash.

Thanks Nate, your work has been and continues to be much appreciated!

Cheers,

B.D.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
The latest build for PN supports f2fs right? Has anyone noticed a difference with ext4 and f2fs on PN with a compatible kernel?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
When I was driving the 6P daily I went from ext4 to f2fs and honestly don't recall noticing any difference. I tried it because it was something to try.

The conversion isn't that hard, except IIRC you end up wiping everything to convert, but you could try it and see if you notice any difference.

Even Flash, who made a great f2fs kernel said the diff was negligible at best.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
this is what i what iam aiming to. pn with flash on f2fs. so if the difference is negligible what can i benefit from f2fs after the conversion?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Enjoy reversing the process to get back to ext4 :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Inzayn:
bahahaha. welp, my curiosity ends here. thank you for the insight. was wondering if f2fs made any difference in performance or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Maybe it did on older devices, but I never noticed anything on my 6P. I used to be a hardcore F2FS user and avoided anything that wasn't F2FS compatible. Once Oreo was released I couldn't wait for 8.0 based F2FS ROMs/kernels to be released, so I just went ahead and flashed it. I had to format my internal storage back to EXT4 so it would boot and I didn't notice any speed differences.

It was also annoying chasing custom builds of TWRP that were F2FS compatible, making sure any ROM I flashed supported F2FS, and using F2FS really limits your choice of custom kernels.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DmdStar:
I didnt notice any difference when I tried it, so reverted back.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
I love messing with my phones obviously, otherwise I would not be here.

But between Flash himself saying there is minimal difference and having to wipe internal storage, it was an I'll pass.

Yes, I still troll this forum. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Samuel Holland:
Angler_#1

I would say yes, go far it. To me I noticed a difference in the overall smoothness. There is a TWRP build by Flash especially for f2fs and there also is a magisk module I used also built by him "enable sdcardfs". Just don't forget to check the erase option instead of formatting in TWRP recoverys settings after making the switch.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gspotr:
What ROM are you using?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
I would rather not say. This is not any issue with your question, but I don't believe in talking about other ROMs within forums dedicated to a specific ROM out of respect for the developers. I am thankful to all developers for their hard work, and know that ROMs can be device, carrier, and user specific in terms of their capabilities and performance.

If you would like me to discuss my experience with other ROMs, PM me. Again, this is out of respect for the ROM developers.

Cheers,

B.D.

Any high level estimation of an Oreo update?

It seems that we might skip Oreo completely and go to P directly!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] iakeco:
I've had this phone for a few years using this ROM exclusively and I think it's time to get a new device. The problem is I want a high end phone with a removable battery, Almost everyone I see they are walking around with an external battery. I would rather put a couple extra external batteries in my pocket that having a cord and a bulky external battery in my pocket. If anyone is still around that reads this forum have any suggestions.

Get a Pixel 2 XL and a battery stick :D

i finally got one! getting mine this coming week. cant wait.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aostrom:
Well, this seems to be a trend... I kept hanging on, hoping my 6P would carry me through another year or so, but my battery is hosed, and I guess it's just time. My Pixel 2XL will be here by Friday. For now I'm going to stick with stock plus root and Flash kernel, if there's ever a new Pure Nexus for Pixel (Pure Pixel?) Is go for that in a heartbeat...

Thanks to Beans, Nathan and all the others that have made this a great community. I'll still check in to see how it's going.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klaydze:
Hello Guys,

Just wanna ask, I'm currently in Android Oreo (stock rooted) but I want to get back to Nougat for some reasons. My quedtion is, do I just need to follow the clean install of this rom and that's it? My Oreo will be downgraded to Nougat?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
You would also need the vendor, and bootloader from the particular month that the last rom coincides with. Which, in this case is July of 2017 if not mistaken. If it fails, then do a clean flash of the July factory image, then install the rom. This will wipe your phone! ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klaydze:
Thanks for the info. Btw, I'm not sure if its me only that I can't proceed to download the firmware from google website. Everytime I click the "Agree" button, nothing happen. If you don't mind, can you share direct link for this factory image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Can't help you there my friend. The Google factory image site is having some issues atm.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
Try another browser. I had the same problem with Chrome, but Firefox works. And May factory image is finally available.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] us engineers:
Huawei y6 ii
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klaydze:
Even firefox. No luck with me. ☹️
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
Try incognito mode in chrome.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Or private window in Firefox ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] scrin378:
Haha..thanks man, incognito works for me in chrome...now i can see all images ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klaydze:
I'm in N2G84C build number. Can I clean flash this ROM now straight ahead? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
If my eyes are working correctly, your on the August 2017 factory image. So you would need the July 2017 vendor, and possibly bootloader in order to flash this rom without any issues :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] klaydze:
Thanks man. So that two images are the only requirements to flash first not the entire firmware of July image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Yeah, the 6p is pretty easy to revert or go forward. I downgraded many times by just flashing the coinciding vendor.img with whatever rom I wanted to use. Bootloaders change somewhat, but usually are backwards compatible in most cases :cool:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blackboythe:
Dark mod6
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Light mod7 :cool:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chacedj:
I miss this Rom and would like to use it again, but since it has a very old vendor image would it work if I flashed the newest one? I'm guessing not but I like to be up to date on the security updates if possible. Any insight?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Not likely. You'll just keep getting error messages, and system UI FC's in all probability :(

If it boots at all! ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chacedj:
That's too bad it's not on Oreo. Thanks for the reply

Back on PN 7.1.2 and happy. Used another 8.1 ROM for a a few weeks and nothing but problems... Serious problems. If the phone itself doesn't ring, that's a show stopper for me. And no, it was not some simple setting...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LeftHandedWave:
I know, right?

It's just a small problem, they don't need to use this as a phone. - developer probably
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
Just an FYI, apparently Google managed to break twrp decryption again with the June security update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
What is meant by "break TWRP description"? How does one break a description? I'm confused, unless I am just dense here and do not know the definition of "description".

Cheers,

B.D.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
Sorry, didn't realize my spell check "fixed" that for me.. Not description, decryption.

TWRP can't decrypt your internal storage.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BostonDan:
Got it. I was confused a minute ago. Damn Google. Always taking away from the good developers!

Cheers,

[Nexus 6P Android Development] swamp2:
Most likely not a Dev issue in this case. The exact same problem was noted on Pixel devices with factory ROM.

When a mod deletes a post, why does the notification for that post stay in New Subscribed Threads even though the post isn't there anymore?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] malybru:
Well, technically, the post is still there.

Just hidden from view.

When he made the post, it would register as a new notification.

:)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Yep, I get that, but it sits there as a notification in New Subscribed Threads until another post is made in the same thread to bump it off the top.

Also. in XDA labs, clicking on the notification in New Subscribed Threads results in an error and the thread can't be accessed easily.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] swamp2:
Kind of a generic question but I am running this ROM. Are radios specific to a major version of the OS, i.e. can one run a radio perhaps listed somewhere as an Oreo radio with Nougat? I am having GPS and phone problems using the 3.85 radio.
