Hello everybody!

My fingerprint scanner stopped working after restoring a Nandroid backup, so I deleted my saved fingerprints and wanted to re-enter them, but everytime I get to the point where I should enter them, I get an error. So basically I can't use Nexus Imprint at all.

After wiping the rom completely the fingerprint works again, but I don't really want to set the rom up from scratch just because of this. Anybody know a fix?

I tried wiping system and cache in recovery and reinstalling the rom, but the problem is still there
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shotguntheenforcer:
This happened to me some time ago. I want to say I was able to setup my fingerprints again using the hhonors (Hilton) app as a back door. When you sign into it asks about fingerprints and routes you into the setup. If you don't have an account it may be worth setting one up just to see if you can get around the error. Good luck
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
It looks like this only works on CM/Lineage based roms unfortunately.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
Try this: Delete all the files mentioned here.

If you happened to forget to remove lockscreen security (PIN/Pattern/Fingerprint) before creating your backup, and you cannot get into your OS after restoring, you can do the following to fix the issue. Boot into TWRP and use the built in file manager to delete /data/sytem/locksettings.db. This should be enough to get you into your OS again. If it isn't you can also try deleting /data/system/locksettings.db-shm and /data/system/locksettings.db-wal. If this still doesn't fix your issue you can delete /data/system/gatekeeper.password.key and /data/system/gatekeeper.pattern.key.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
OK. Is it selected as your default phone app?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
You could also dirty flash PN, sign into Snapchat, flash SuperSU, and be done with it :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KeyzerSuze:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Why does this wipe internal storage after flashing? I haven't tried this in a long time, so I'm not sure of the nuances or what's been happening the last 4- 5 months. Is it forcing encryption, even though the OP says it's disabled? I flashed it twice now, while trying to fix somethings, and both times it wiped.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kclive:
I don't use the legacy version of lightflow. I had issues with it. I purchased lightflow and it works perfectly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I've had great results all around with Flash Kernel

The Rom won't wipe internal data, you'd have to select WIPE INTERNAL DATA in TWRP or enter a specific command in fastboot. I don't think you can accidentally wipe your internal data without some warning notice coming up.

The OP is referring to the kernel forcing encryption, which is does not.

List the steps you are taking and let's see if we can get things fixed.

Look at the bright side, you have a completely clean install now, and I bet you recovered a bunch of storage too :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Flashing this ROM does not wipe your storage. I've flashed it many times and it never wiped storage. What are the steps you're taking?

:D PoTAto-pOtaTO-potaTO
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Just the usual, wipe the caches, system and data, leaving internal storage. Then I flash it, flash aroma Gapps, flash root, and reboot.

Hotword Enrollment

Here is the flashable zip of the hotwordenrollment that I used and it worked fine for me
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I can't imagine you accidentally hit the Internal Data twice, but I can't think of any other way you'd wipe internal data via TWRP.... I'm stumped.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyle_el:
I can remember a time that I had TWRP on the Factory Reset page while I happened to be outside. I couldn't see the screen too clearly and, when I thought the device had locked itself, I swiped to unlock it only to find that I had swiped to reset instead.

Live and learn I suppose :silly:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
I know I didn't wipe it myself, or I couldn't have flashed it [emoji6]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SGE_DEW:
I had the same thing happen with my phone app. It was also substratum.

Schwarz und Weiss wie Schnee
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
My stuff has survived a could reboots so far, so that's good. But I can't for the life of me get my substratum theme to apply. Grrr. I should probably just go back to my usual ROM I guess!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Pretty sure its pronounced vodka. :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DuMKaSD:
OMFG, thank you!!!! Killed two days on trying to fix this. Worked like a charm
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kclive:
Glad I could be of help. [emoji106]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Well after 2 hours of trying, I've come to the realization that substratum is not implemented on this ROM anymore. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times, I've rebuilt the cache for the theme, I've wiped the data for substratum and the theme, I've wiped dalvik and cache fun recovery after uninstalling them, then reinstalled..... Not once had it worked. It acted like it was going to the last time... It took a while to apply. And they showed up in the manager. But after a reboot, there was still nothing. Oh well. Tomorrow night I'll move into something else.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mvp4him3:
Yeah this is what I was thinking. Just forgot about it when I installed pn. I am going to wait till the next pn update and dirty flash it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] escavi:
Thank you for the reply. I have the purchased version of the app but for some reason it always prompts to install the legacy version I think to remove the persistent notification banner. Ill try messing around with it again and maybe I can get it to work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NoobInToto:
It is there, but updating themes is a hiccup. Every time i get update of theme from playstore, after rebuilding cache, i remove the applied theme and reapply. Otherwise it takes a brute force of build and update and the other option combination to dirty update the applied theme.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kclive:
I had that issue too until I removed the legacy version from my play store apps. You might give that a try if you haven't done so already.

Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] psychomaniac189:
do you have to do this for netflix now too? because i cannot log into netflix on my phone

i had a problem with the legacy version as well on my galaxy nexus. didnt have any issues with paid version.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Substratum works fine for me. Perhaps you dirty flashed? That can screw up themes occasionally. Perhaps you don't have root, or didn't give Substratum and Masquerade root access? Gotta have root. Maybe you're choosing something other than v7_1_OMS when building? That'll cause problems. Maybe the theme isn't compatible? Won't work.

tl:dr... It's not PN's fault.

Have a good one!

btw... Did you verify Substratum and Masquerade have storage permission?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dew912:
Anyone else having their notifications disappear immediately after arriving? Eg message arrives, notification sound/vibrate occurs as it should, then icon disappears after a matter of seconds.... Very annoying!

No, for me, status bar notification icons stay until they're dealt with.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] OneCheekyDevil:
I'm hoping all the changes made in substratum's 600 build will be incorporated into the next update.

I'm willing to wait for any kinks to be ironed out before a release.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Actually... It is absolutely PN that is causing the substratum not to work. Of course I'm rooted, of course both were granted root permission, I'm screenshot you my superSU screen so you can see if you want. I highly doubt it's the theme, as I'm trying to apply Swift Dark - the only theme that has always worked in 7.1.

It was also a super clean flash. Couldn't be cleaner. The ROM itself even wiped internal storage after I just loaded everything back to it from my clean flash. I flashed the lasted version 3 times on Sunday and Monday, and all three times it wiped internal storage on first boot. It also requires the audio effects trick for Viper that hasn't needed to be used in 5 months for every other ROM. Let's face it... This ROM is needier than a 20 y.o. girlfriend!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbc663:
You cannot say it is absolutely PN if you are the only one in the thread that has this problem. It is 100% user error. You are doing something wrong,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Well, whatever "I'm doing wrong" has worked every single time on other ROMs. So it's still something related to this one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NoobInToto:
Perhaps the zip is a partial download ,by few bytes maybe? Idk if the flashing would succeed in that case (partial downloads get stuck at flashing system unconditionally or so).

Did you verify the md5 of the file?

Btw, have you formatted data as f2fs?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
If he's updated Substratum to the new version today, it doesn't work on Pure Nexus yet as the rom needs updating with the new interface app which replaces Masquerade.

I guess the rom will get the updates along with the March security patches at the same time but, until then, don't take the Substratum update from the playstore.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbc663:
makes sense, have not seen the update yet on my play store
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I think it is a error to assume that PN is at fault for your substratum issues.

As [MENTION=1563782]mbc663[/MENTION] pointed out, I believe that about 7,400 users have downloaded the latest PN build, and you are the only one I've seen with the issues you are describing. Many users have Substratum issues, but they are nearly always caused by user error.

This isn't to say you are at fault, but statistically, and applying the law of averages, if PN were at fault, and just a small percentage of PN user were affected, there would be several hundred complaining about this. And I'm NO developer, but I don't think PN even has the coding or ability to wipe internal data without TWRP and user input, and NO ONE has complained of this issue either.

Rather than spend time placing blame, let's get back to trying to resolve your issue.

Causes we can safely rule out:

PN Rom

Not rooted

Substratum and Masquerade not having permission

dirty flash

Again, I know you think this is mundane, but please list out the steps and files you have been using to flash PN, maybe there's a small error that you are not noticing? Maybe you have a bad file? It's shooting in the dark until we can see exactly which files you are flashing , the order you're flashing them in, and process you are using.

tl;dr

with 7400 users trying latest PN build, your issue being the only outlier screams it is not a PN issue, list our steps and files flashed, and let's work together to fix it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
This weekend I was trying to switch to f2fs and it wouldn't work on my phone for dinner reason. I was using flash Keven and tried it with Uber, nitrogen, PN, extended AOSP, and one other I think. It did all sorts of funky stuff, but typically would change data back to ext4 after a couple boot loops. But if it only boot looped 2-3 times, and I went back into recovery, it was still f2fs. But if I let it loop for 4 or more times, it would Chevelle the format back and wipe my storage (technically I think storage was still there).

So long story short, I wiped, and fastbooted stock. Booted it up. Then went back and fastbooted recovery and, went to recovery, wiped everything, loaded my stuff back on, flashed this, booted. Then after PN wiped storage again, I loaded it back on, and have been trying my hardest to set it back up the way I use it on all of the other ROMs. But it fights me at every turn. I'm not sure why. But it was as clean on an install as you can get.

Maybe my download of the ROM was bad?

I downloaded it last night. Did it update today or last night? I'll go check. Perhaps that's it, that would explain why everyone is saying I'm doing something wrong, when I'm really not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
NM
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NoobInToto:
By the looks of it, you don't have the latest substratum app (from the screenshot you posted). Don't update it anyways (like spannaa warned, im not sure whats broken so far).

On topic:

1)You should check the md5 of the downloaded zip just in case.

2) the only time I've experienced internal storage wiping itself is when i was dealing with f2fs. Are you sure that data partition is ext4? (Nonetheless, PN shouldn't boot in f2fs unless you have flash kernel or some other kernel supporting f2fs, and besides, fastbooting stock should format all partitions right?).

I suggest you try official twrp recovery if you are using the modified twrp by flash ( or any other one) and make sure that data is ext4 ...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Well, I wasn't blaming anything at first. Not until people started saying it was my fault. I mean seriously, I've been running custom phones for over 5 years, you guys really don't think when I spent 2+ hours trying to get this to work, that I didn't have root? That I didn't give the proper permissions? It's insulting, but I know there are plenty of noobs, so everyone has to be safe, and ask those questions.

I'm not sure what could be the cause, it how I could even be doing something wrong when what I'm doing has always worked. I've never had to even rebuild the themes cache before, so I'm going above and beyond with troubleshooting.

I booted to the latest TWRP, and wiped everything, even internal storage.

I then loaded everything back on while in recovery.

I flashed the ROM and my open Gapps aroma package, followed by superSU 2.79xxxx (maybe I need a newer version?), then Viper4Android Arise, and booted.

Then I loaded all of my stuff back to internal storage again.

Started setting some stuff up.

Rebooted several times after AdAway, Viper4Android, build prop edit so people can hear me etc.

Downloaded substratum, downloaded Swift Dark.

Opened substratum and granted it and masquerade root and the permissions to contacts and storage that it asked for.

Clicked on theme, allowed cache to build.

Opened theme, chose 7.1.1 OMS, like always.

Checked the apps I wanted, hit build and enable.

It pretends it's applying.

But everything is still white. Lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NoobInToto:
I was in the same situation around a month ago. When i had moved the whole internal storage from phone to pc, a lot of my files got corrupted ( including rom zip, unfortunately). This seems expected behaviour, because it happens with every phone i own. Files get lost/corrupted during bulk transfer and I haven't figured out (or googled :P) why....

So I would say that there is pretty high chances that one(or more) of your zips(rom, gapps, supersu) got corrupted if you had downloaded them in your phone, and moved it to pc and back, before and after wiping internal.

Also, the nandroid you restore (if you do), was not taken when the rom had f2fs format as data partition right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Yeah, that's where I'm leaning at this point - file corruption.

No nandroids to restore. Nothing ever booted with f2fs.

So it sounds like I can't uninstall substratum now to start over, because the new one won't work. I guess I could download an older one from another source.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
I think the reason people were leaning towards user error is because no one else has had these issues related to PN. Very few folks here would intentionally insult another user, but it can come across that way when ensuring that a basic step wasn't accidentally forgotten, because it DOES happen tot he best of us :D

You'd be surprised how ONE slight nuance, like removing root from the Rom can throw off even the most seasoned user, who will spend an eternity trying to figure out what happened to root. Just missing one instruction or one step can cause chaos.

How did you load everything after the first internal wipe while in TWRP?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NoobInToto:
And why can't you uninstall substratum?

If the files are corrupted and you don't want to download the whole thing all over again, you could use a trick to repair the files......torrents!

Earlier there used to be website called bitburn, where we could insert links and the file would be downloaded into their servers. We would get the torrent link.

Once we get the link, we could start the download in the same directory as the file, and the torrent client would detect the already downloaded parts, and download the rest -- so the partial download was miraculously fixed!

It was actually used to repair large files which were unresumable, but had only few % download to go.

Bitburn is no more, but there are alternative websites which you can find by googling.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
I understand. Perhaos there are nuances with this ROM, stuff I need to do that are not needed in other ROMs (like deleting audio_effects), to get it going. But no one has really pointed me in a direction of a workaround to get it going on this.

After the initial wipe off storage, I loaded stuff back just through MTP I guess. Just used Windows explorer and opened my internal storage which only had only a TWRP folder and dragged my files into it and waited. Then clicked install in recovery and flashed my files.

I'm wondering if it's my root. What version is everyone using now? It's 2.79 way outdated? It's from December, so not that old.

I just meant I can't use the play store version because it updated today. I'd have to download an older version elsewhere.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kortxero:
Don't worry, we're in the same boat. I updated Substratum a few hours ago, and as explained on their G+ page and by Spannaa, we'll have to wait until Beans updates PN or we need to roll back to a legacy version of Substratum in the meantime.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
I can't even uninstall my layers that it claims are installed. Lol. Stupid app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kortxero:
You can't remove them from "Overlay list" or even "Recovery > Restore Theme"?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HikingMoose:
Under advanced manager, there's a list of them. I've selected then all and installed them and they are always there. I've done fill reboots after installing (after I choose uninstall, I wait for 10 minutes to make sure it has time). I just uninstalled the theme, but the layers are still there. Bizarre.

I can delete them with TiBu, but that's the only way. Then if I try to apply them again, they show up three again, but don't apply.

The substratum app has gone to rootless and in their changelog they say specifically that the ROM devs need to update to the latest commits using the rootless version of OMS7. The dev of swift dark has not heard of any issues as I have been emailing him on this today. Not sure, but if [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] wants to chime in, then I would love to know as well. Thank you!

(Edit: The changelog in substratum made it sound like there needed to be an update to the ROM, when it actually wasn;t that at all. The latest update did, indeed fix the issue. Sorry if my post sounded like I was blaming PN as I know it was not the ROM.)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Scottay5150:
Agreed.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kortxero:
Have you tried to install the new update they pushed a few hours ago (version 603)? It has fixed the bug for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tr4nqui1i7y:
The version from today? That's the one that caused the issue lol.

I can't even install themes with the old version now. Frustrating
