Anyone know how get rid this without disabling notifications from Google play services
[Nexus 6P Android Development] popper668:
I believe you maybe enrolled in the beta program.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Have ya tried backing up your internal storage to PC, formatting internal storage, then copying necessary files back to internal storage? Could be a glitched photo or data file. Otherwise... Probably something to do with your setup. Maybe try a new clean install (without restoring from Google) with formatted internal storage and try using Photos. If that works, add all your other apps and files one at a time until Photos stop working. Good luck!

Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Number R09:
So this IS actual policy. With respect, I've dealt with people with this crime and punishment arrogance before. I certainly won't be using Pure Nexus any longer. Nice software as it is, but I can't support this mentality. I think it's time to go stock again. Peace.

ETA's are like fight club...and we all know the first rule of fight club
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rbouza1:
So basically look at it like this , does the guy update monthly ? If so count on a new updated rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I don't
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
The first rule of fight Club is, there is no fight Club.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
Oh yeah, that rings a bell actually.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] dannyqanaah:
Hi guys!

In preparation for Android O. I'd like to know how you guys back up data. I'm looking for the fastest and most efficient way possible. What I've recently been doing is using titanium to back up my texts and calls. Pictures go on to my computer, and some special apps that I wanna keep are also backed up using titanium. Is there a new and improved way that I'm not aware of? When ever I flash a new rom and wipe it usually takes a few hours to get back to a comfortable state.

Thanks :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
1) it is NOT policy per se, it is a practice. No one is being restricted or banned for asking ETAs (unless it's in addition to other numerous violations)

2) this practice is Xda wide, it has ZERO to do with PN or any other specific Rom.

3) if you are more concerned/worried about requesting adherence to policies and/or practices to maintain a smooth flowing forum, reducing clutter for those interested in development, then stock sounds like the correct path for you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ciaoviao:
I think that it is not rude to ask the developer for a general status update, like if the N rom will receive another update or stopped there. I'm speaking in general, not specifically for this rom. We're not pretending anything and we know that the developer is doing it for free and he has a life. But a simple status update requires like few seconds and it is a very polite and friendly thing by the developer toward his community. Furthermore it doesn't look like there is some obscure secret behind giving infos as if it were Android P. I'm not criticizing anyone, I'm just looking for a constructive discussion.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neytireyqa:
If I know 100% I'll switch to the same rom I do titanium backup and make flashable zip from it, wipe phone clean flash rom, gapps and stuff then flash the flashable zip hoping it will work. I somehow managed to make backups from system apps and it worked for me ever since. Phone virtually restored in boot time. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dannyqanaah:
Hmm i might have to try this soon ? thank you!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Nate doesn't mind OT as long as it is respectful, so I'll give a last thread response to this (any further questions or comments will be gladly answered via PM, as we're approaching 2 full pages of OT regarding ETAs :) )

In addition to THIS, let me elaborate.

PN has been updated monthly since before color TV. The Dev also posts a notification when he will no longer support new builds on a certain device (the 6P is my third device under Nate) or when he is moving on. I imagine most devs follow the same line of thought for their user base.

So here comes new users, who have been on PN (or any Rom) for a short period of time. After a few weeks of no update, they ask for ETA on next build/update.

Multiply this for most devices, then multiply it by let's say 700,000 (10% of Xda members) new or impatient users. That is a lot of clutter, that is a lot of "hey, when you gonna drop a new build/update" to a dev who does this for fun, for free, and usually after coming home from a regular job.

I posted THIS back in April during the last "What's the big deal with asking ETAs"...

(So on your own generosity, you mow your neighbor's yard for free once a month. You use all your own equipment, you put a few hours into doing a great job. You do this for several months. Then, one month you're a little busy with life, and your neighbor comes over, knocks on your door and says "when you gonna mow my yard? Everyone else on the block mowed theirs at the beginning of the month."

You may not think it's rude or irritating, but it certainly is.)

I hope this helps new users (and impatient users) alike understand that YOU may not see the irritation in asking ETAs, but when you consider what devs already do for Xda members, that they usually do it for free, on their own time away from family/friends/Game of Thrones, it DOES sound rude.

For these many reasons, plus the useless clutter, and sheer number of ETAs that would be asked if it weren't discouraged, it makes much more sense to discourage ETAs than it does to not discourage them.

Again, this discussion is getting long in the tooth. I'll be more than happy to continue this via PM so we don't start a 3rd page of ETA OT :D

Much respect to all who've engaged in the discussion.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cheesechocolate:
I'm getting particularly poor battery life on this ROM on stock Kernel. Any tips?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Searching the thread there are a lot of recommendations to run Better Battery Stats or Wakelock detector to determine what app is eating up your battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
Hmm, if it is working on current stock, maybe they fixed it? Can you verify it works on current stock? If so, you can search my posts in this thread and you'll see the build.prop edit that needs to be made to enable it. With that, it should work.

IF Google unborked it. Let me know would you? I use Chromecast for everything now, but I liked using that on the Wireless Display app on my Xbox One S.

It really isn't polite. Imagine how many PM's you'd start getting, how many [MENTION=246159]user[/MENTION] replies start piling up as everyone pressures you for an ETA? No one wants that kind of attention. Imagine even with these guidelines, now much he gets for every [MENTION=418212]beans[/MENTION] reply?

Now imagine all of the users that follow these guidelines, and are looking for an answer to a question, or want to help other users like I try to, and have to sift through direct and veiled ETA requests (really guys and girls, everyone older than 30 knows what you are doing).

See ya? :good:

The first rule of Fight Club is, "You do not talk about Fight Club".

LOL

So I typed up a version of this long ago, but I've really changed how I do it now.

1. Uninstall old apps I really never use.

2. Clean system with SD Maid. Such a great great app.

4. Use PAIRS app to backup Bluetooth, Wifi, and Hotspot settings/pairings.

5. Note there's no 3 in this list.

6. SMS Backup Pro, uploading to Google Drive.

7. Rom Settings Backup Pro

8. Backup everything via Titanium Backup.

9. Reboot into recovery and perform a backup.

10. Reboot into the system and ensure all of my Google account stuff is synched.

I then clean flash the update as noted in OP.

Then I do this.

1. Log into device on my great internet speeds and wifi and let Google restore everything.

2. Once that's done I restore Rom Settings Backup.

3. Reboot.

5. Note there is no 4 in this list. Wonder why these numbers keep disappearing...

6. I then restore Titanium Backups that are missing, and then install just DATA over all of the apps I use daily.

After that, as I open apps, if they are missing my settings/accounts, I use LastPass and TI Backup to restore data to those apps.

Doing it this way, instead of restoring all missing non-system apps I no longer have any crashes at all after any update. It really doesn't take that long either. Hope this helps.

For a status update, check out the changelog and the Google + page, as mentioned many times here and in the OP.

I'll give you all a hint, he's not going to give you an ETA, even if you ask, so not only is it a guideline/rule/rude to do so, it's a complete waste of time...

Verified.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cheesechocolate:
That may help with what the apps are doing, it won't help with what the ROM+Kernel are doing though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tekno4ever:
Thank you for your well written and thoughtful reply. Upon catching up on this thread, I was going to point out that there is NOT a rule in place concerning asking the ETA question so I appreciate your clarification. Best practices are nice but when one does not follow said practice they should not be policed as though they broke a rule. I read your math calculations and while no user has ever read 700,000 ETA requests in my poor man estimation I get your well conveyed point. I personally believe that Mod's policing, commenting, or replying to posts as if they are rule violations when in fact that are NOT is a violation further exacerbating a non-rule violation situation which is a waste in and of itself. I also enjoy reading others ETA request as it creates a sense of community letting me know that others care about what the OP has in store next, creates a community of people responding to Q&A over the long term thereby making people feel like they are a part of something special.. If asking for ETA's is going to policed as if it were a Rule Violation when its NOT then make it an actual violation going forward rather than an arbitrary best practice that any XYZ Mod wants to enforce for some reason. This will be my last post upon this topic. I wish everyone the best. Take care,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] boxguy1:
Oh yeah I just remembered thanks ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
I hate to be the pedantic prick in this conversation, but IIRC the invention of color TV is when PN went to a monthly release cycle. Prior to that when everything was in black and white, Nate (and Google) didn't have to deal with the overhead and headache of color space, we were on a 2-3 week release cycle. Damn millennials and their newfangled s**t. :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Not wishing to be pedantic but if you read the dev thread rules too, I suspect these cover ETA queries.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ChemoNL:
Can we please drop the subject of ETA's and if they are allowed or not? It's post after post after post about something so irrelevant to this thread and It's against the xda common thought to ask for ETA's so don't be a d*ck and ask for them.

[MENTION=1662773]mods[/MENTION] purge please.?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drc13:
No sorry Miracast does NOT WORK on stock for me even with the build prop mods

Miracast DOES WORK on Nitrogen and Vanilla

Android Auto DOES WORK on Stock, PN, Vanilla but NOT Nitrogen

*This is all from my experience only other people may or may not have this working.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
Put ETAs into whatever category you want but at the end of the day it's just pointless. It's no secret Nate doesn't mind OT but the kind that adds to the spirit of this thread. So let's go back to sharing the journey together, if we chat about PureNexus then we chat about that. If we chat about life, jobs or family, that's what we chat about. But come on, ETAs really are pointless. This is the last I want to hear about it.

So let's get back to it! Enjoy PureNexus, each others company and our communal love for Android! :D

Have a good day all!

Matt
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
While I totally appreciate your thoughts on the subject, @Az_Biker has written a couple of very calm and eloquently written posts that should be referred back to when the topic comes up again. I especially love his analogy of you cut your neighbor's grass. Spot on! Please do not delete those.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbs4115:
I have a quick question about Android Oreo. I saw a post at the beginning of the thread somewhere about having to revert back to stock Android, installing O and then reinstalling PN. Now that there are images out for the Nexus 6P, which is what I have, should I do this, install O and then back to PN or should I wait for PN to get to O.

thanks,

john
[Nexus 6P Android Development] popper668:
simple advise, wait for PN to have O, if it's burning inside you, flash O. It's not a prerequisite. Happy flashing
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Calm down Matty, everything will be ok[emoji9]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cmzizi:
Hahahahahahahahaha this is AWESOME. I like the "neighbour mowing" part. I like the "Game of Thrones" Part.

In Summary **** all those who ask about ETA especially on this thread. Be PATIENT, Let the Devs build something Pure. If one is in a rush go install Factory Image from Google directly and stop ****ing us with spam.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
ROM and kernel will not keep your phone awake all by itself. If someone is overclocking then sure...or has brightness at 100%...but if that is the case, one shouldn't ask about batter life. If it was the ROM and kernel then every other post would be about bad battery life! Every one that has done the leg work has found an app running rampant. I get 85% deep sleep with bluetooth and wifi on connected to a smartwatch. I think that is the best I can expect in those circumstances.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I haven't heard of anyone saying they have done that lately, but you're right, I did see a lot of people posting about this while using the dev previews

Try asking in the superxe thread, most the people there are or were on 8.0
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrmark75:
What is being implied is this ROM is built for Nougat not Oreo so if you are running Oreo then you will need to install the latest stock Nougat and do a factory wipe then install the Pure Nexus ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbs4115:
Of course I want to see what O is all about :) But really don't expect any great changes, think I'll just wait. Pretty happy right now with PN.

Thanks,

john

You're more than welcome to share the ROM you've been working on in another thread and allow users to ask you for ETA's on updates.

Sounds cheesy but I like tinkering and I realized what I dislike about Pure Nexus is that is so damn perfect. Leaves me bored in between builds
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LeftHandedWave:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbs4115:
Wow, screwed that up didn't I.

I was wondering about the post about O being installed and you had to go back to stock etc before installing PN.

Sorry about all of that. Not normally that dumb.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] OneCheekyDevil:
I don't understand what the rush is about. Why would you want to sink your teeth into that original Oreo when it is plagued with Bluetooth issues right out of the box.

I'm more than happy to wait for Beans to cook his own perfect Oreo cookies for us to enjoy. There's nothing wrong with his last batch of Nougat he baked :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I listen to a lot of electronic music, so I got a beat going in my head with that post...

Untz, untz, untz, that's what I was wondering....

Drop Tapatalk, so glad I left that dumpster fire.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hmillos:
how do you guys eat Oreos? I prefer eating the whole thing, but some people like eating the cream first and then the cookies.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DEVILOPS 007:
I eat it like you're supposed to eat any biscuit, not the cream first. I personally prefer the custard cream style Oreos to the the black original ones. I went off the originals when I was about 10 or so.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hmillos:
Which are those? I don't know if we have those in my country,

Some years ago they produced Oreos with a kind of strawberry pink cream and those were just horrible! I hope Android 8.0 isn't pink.

Has anyone had any issues with phone shutting off between 15-30% battery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Yes.

You need to search 'boot loop of death' in just about any 6P thread.

To find out how bad your issue is and what to do about it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Unforgivenlife1986:
But, my phone is not bootlooping, how would this help me?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Search this thread or even Google for 6P shut down and you will find out you need to replace the battery. Other option is see if Google will replace it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] k1ll3ry0:
Is there a good source for batteries yet? I've been looking around but I've only really seen cheap Chinese crap without the temp sensor. Also does anyone know if you can go straight from PN to 8.0 through TWRP yet?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
For many poor souls, the device powering down, rebooting when the batt is between 25-30% is the first signs of the BLOD.

Of course, you could always wait until you find out the BLOD has visited your 6P, but there are a few fixes that have worked for many 6P users.

- replacing the battery is one option

- shutting down the big cores is another

Both of these have been shared and discussed, and a quick search should lead you to these threads.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
XDA labs is built with Tapatalk...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] epoch555:
Yup, first 10%, then at 25%, then by the end it was shutting off at like 65%!! I got a new battery and rear glass and replaced it, and I'm back to having a brand new phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
i am curious how long have you had the phone ?

i own mine for about 10 months, i love this phone.

will it last me at least another year before this battery bug kicks in ? or does it happen random with people.

i ordered it in New condition unopened box from amazon, around 10m ago.

i hope it will last me for another year, i will get pixel 2.

and if my beloved 6p lasts me even longer and i have no issues with it, i will keep it until pixel 3 :silly:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blop135:
For me it was about a little more than a year, next time it does it again I will change phone I think:rolleyes:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
hot damn, just a little over a year..

that sounds disappointing, if that happens to me , i might not get any google phones ever again.

they all seem to have flaws, i had no luck with my Moto Nexus 6.

when i bought it (also new in box from amazon) i had such a bad screen, i had some frikkin ugly lines appear on the screen on darker backgrounds.

i could not bear it any longer and sold it just after some what.. 4 months i think.

then i got myself the 6p, so far i love it.

but if this bug happens on mine as well after just alittle over a year..

i doubt i will ever be getting any type of google phone again.

i might go back to samsung then or something.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
Some members have linked videos on how to change it and also the battery they purchased. I went the RMA through Google route.

No it is not. The old XDA app was. XDA Labs has been coded from the ground up by XDA developers.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
All phones have flaws.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] epoch555:
It started 2 days before the warranty ran out, but took 6 months to really get bad. Changing the battery wasn't difficult but worth it.

I like to pop the whole cookie (biscuit for our friends over seas) in my mouth, then take a gulp of milk, wait for a second, then chew it all up. Better than dunking. I can go through a LOT that way.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SightSeeker:
I changed my battery and it started doing it again. Getting my 3rd phone tomorrow.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] J.L.C.:
Does anyone know of a way to change the color of the status items (clock, battery, etc). I did it on previous android versions using gravitybox for xposed, but without exposed, I'm not sure if it's possible
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
There isn't a way just on PureNexus. There may be a way with root and 3rd party app or unofficial nougat Xposed
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kallell:
Any good guides for changing battery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Spannaa:
Yep, I used this one
[Nexus 6P Android Development] J.L.C.:
The unofficial nougat xposed and experimental gravitybox do work. But it seems like overkill to install xposed, and lose Android Pay and anything needing safetynet, just to change status bar item color.

I know development is halted for nougat, but is it at all feasible to have a feature like that implemented in PN Oreo?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fz798:
Just did mine, thanks. I ride naked, and dropped my precious a few weeks ago, broke the camera glass on impact, but didn't obscure the camera so I dealt with it. I'd ordered the battery and glass and even though my battery was still at 90% health, I decided to just do it.

While the job is not that hard, fair warning, it's pretty much impossible, no matter the tools and no matter how careful you are, to not have *some* marring of the chassis and/or the screen glass, it's going to happen. Mine's minimal, but I'll see it hence forth.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pillzzberry:
I just wiped battery stats through room toolbox, wiped cache in twrp and boom problem went away. It started for me after updating my kernel.
