I restored a batch of Tib that i had from MM when i moved to N and all of my apps worked perfectly..

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

I agree, i did notice one thing. The apps optimizing menu that used to come before when after flashing a rom or wiping cache/dalvik no longer exists in Nougat. I flashed a couple of Nougat roms and didn't see it...the boot screen takes a litlle longer though, but over all nougat is really quick in everything.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
I completely agree, in a general sense, with the spirit of this. Every root user should know fastboot.

That stated, Beans meant a heck of a lot more than updating the vendor image when he posted about him not being the fastest to update, but doing things right.

In this case, his thoroughness does have its advantages. With no disrespect to other devs, any AOSP based rom for this device required more than updating the vendor image to get everything running properly.

FWIW, I'm using it now, and is awesome...

Happy Wednesday everyone.

Upgrade

I edited flash-all.sh (I use Ubuntu), you can do the same to flash-all.bat if using Windows, and renamed flash-nosystem.sh

Original

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-02.45.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-02.50.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot -w update image-angler-mmb29m.zip

Updated

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-02.45.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-02.50.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader

extract vendor.img from the factory image, put in the same folder as bootloader and radio

run the flash-nosystem script (or batch if on Windows)

then go through the typical flash process with Pure 6.0.1.

Have you by chance tried flashing the vendor zip via twrp that beans posted or did you fastboot the imgs?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
Seems like they have figured out a way to get Android Pay working on Chroma rom...

Although this method seems to not work on PureNexus, maybe we can figure out a way to do something similar...??

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63875645&postcount=725
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chrisexv6:
Its been working for a while on Chroma.

I think the explanation is that systemless root allows it to happen, but I also had to use Banks Gapps....it wouldnt work without Banks gapps even with systemless root.

Since systemless root isnt supported by every developer (along with the fact that Android Pay was never intended to work in a rooted scenario), its not something there might be official help for.

I might try the same process with the next release of PN that Ive used on Chroma to see if it does in fact work here too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
is systemless supported (or at least working) on PN? i haven't tried it...just running 2.52. i know they're at 2.61 now, unless theyve moved up in 2.6x in the past few days

might try the boot.img and 2.61 when 6.0.1 comes out. i know PN at the moment includes /system 2.52 built in - and chainfire states if you have system root and want to use system-less you have to reload stock partitions to wipe it out
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Systemless root works on pure nexus, I use it. Just flash the unSU zip and then the new superSU beta 2.61. Also as far as the android pay I got it working with Open Gapps, but it has to do with the verifying it is an official device and software as well, not just the root. Chroma has it set up so that is is identical to official firmware as far as android pay reads it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
awesome, that worked perfectly!

thanks for the info, didnt know the unsu was floating around
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bluerez79:
So even on a 6.0 ROM I can boot to twrp then flash unsu.zip and then flash su 2.6.1 and I'll have systemless root? That easy?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Just make sure you have the default Pure Nexus kernel before you flash SuperSU 2.61, as it needs a stock kernel to patch. Dirty flash Pure Nexus if you have a custom kernel before those steps. But yes, UnSU then SuperSU 2.61 and you will have systemless root.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
hm...i did this with kylo installed. didn't know i needed stock kernel.

i needed to manually extract the apk from the 2.61 zip and install it, and then regrant all my apps root access

everything seems to be working fine though after doing that

is there something that i should expect to not work right because of the stock kernel patch rule?

edit: um, actually just checked my device info and stock kernel was installed. could unsu.zip somehow reinstalled the stock kernel? or somehow reverted the custom off?

i know i had kylo r7 working this morning because i installed it and configured it in kernel aduitor about 1 hour before learning of unsu and downloading and using it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Forgot to ask, is there any pros or cons to having systemless root? If I'm not mistaken, I read that there has been issues with it.. Thanks for your answer in advance.. Asking because I kinda want to pair Franco with this rom..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lucifer-:
If I already have installed Pure Nexus with root, then what does I actually achieve with replacing that with a system-less root? Is it just for Android pay?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
To the best of my knowledge, a few apps will not work at all, but most seem to handle systemless root just fine.

I haven't switched, so I have no personal experience with it, but the more I read of folks using it, I'll be making the switch.

One supposed (and unintentional) benefit of systemless root is that it yields the possibility of getting Android Pay working, but if Google patches that within the next month or not is anyone's guess. Further, I'm unclear if Android Pay can work on this rom with the recommended Gapps, though I have read reports that it can work if using other Gapps (Banks minimal, etc). I've yet to read an explanation of why Android Pay works when one uses minimal Gapps and systemless root.

I care more about the rom working well, so I see no reason why systemless root and Franco Kernel wouldn't perform well on PureNexus, so flash away. Just make sure that you know that there is the possibility that some of your root apps won't work.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] XavierD8188:
Thanks for the response... I don't really care for Android Pay that much so I can live without it, I'm more interested in Franco Kernel so that's the only reason I'm inquiring about it.. Root apps not working might be a problem as I have quite a few.. Guess I'll just stick with my current setup for now. Thank you sir..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] minieod:
well - running systemless now (after unsu and flashing boot.img and 2.61) ... loaded up android pay and got the all-too-familiar "google is unable to verify that your device blah blah" message

i am using the pure-nexus gapps from the OP

like xavier, i dont really care about android pay. i kept my system stock for the first month and used android pay once only because i wanted to try it. the experience wasnt that great, and actually took more time than it would take to just swipe my card. for the added security effort, my bank is phenomenal and pretty amazing on fraud and protecting my accounts.

i'd like to get it working on a custom rom....mainly just to get it working. but probably not use it, and not a high priority
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
If you have unlocked and flashed a factory rom before you should know the commands... Right of the top of my head, plus I'm at a bar, I'm not gonna right them down and get into how to flash images. Also, there is a TWRP zip to flash both if you search xda
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mohdfahad47:
I started removing passwords and fingerprint on my nexus before making a nandroid since i was left locked on my lockscreen (even after entering the correct passcode) after restoring a backup:eek:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thatkindaguy:
Yes I know I was just curious as to which partition we should chose in TWRP - obviously not vendor but system, boot and the other one..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] semakawa:
Boot,system and data.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
Fastboot the radio and bootloader. Or use the zip if you want, personally wouldn't risk it.

Guys if u look at github beans is still adding stuff.. Let's have a rom with as much stuff he can add.. He said today it's coming... It will come...

Can you flash the img files using TWRP or do you have to Fastboot flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
You quoted my answer to that. No.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Gizmoe:
Literally all I do is after restoring backup use twrp to navigate to data/system/locksettings.db and erase it. Then when you boot, unlock with finger print. Then go to security and click on fingerprint setup. It will have you enter a new pin. After that your fingerprints are still there and saved. All works normal after that. I know people say to erase more, but that's all I've ever done and I restore backups all the time this way. Never had an issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
You can but you take a risk of bricking your phone.

Fastboot checks the integrity of the file prior to flashing. TWRP doesnt

Well this certainly sucks. My laptop charger decided it was gonna give up the ghost today. I didn't even notice til it said I had 8% battery left. The cord had power, but the block is dead. I've had too many bad experiences flashing without my computer close for backup. :crying: :mad:

Certainly not. Anyway we will have a new install guide.

This may cause a bunch of guys to swoon, but I'm still on the 6/21 build of PN and I'm about 97% sure that I will not be upgrading PN 7 immediately. Given the way I use my phone I have seen nothing in nougat that I must have and I do have one or two Xposed modules (out out 6 or 7) that I would be unhappy to do without.

Having said that, should I change my mind I am fully prepared to pull the trigger at a moments notice. :o

[Nexus 6P Android Development] ohlin5:
After things are sync'ed my VM takes a but over an hour (maybe 1:20 give or take) but these things can vary wildly. You've also got any final test and upload to consider too :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] andrewnelson23:
Back when I built on a 2gb laptop it used to take me 7 hours to build KitKat.

Last year I would build personal builds that took around an hour and a half. it really does vary wildly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] npjohnson:
You mean how long it takes to compile a single ROM build fresh?

So, it can vary for a variety of reasons:

- ARM targets compile quicker than ARM64 targets

- Compiling Machine Specs

- Some devices have more built from source/more prebuilt components

Targeting Shamu (ARM) , with a machine built for, and optimized to build Android, I build in around 12 minutes.

Targeting Angler (ARM64), I build in about 15 minutes.

Most average Gaming PC's (16 GB+ RAM, SSD, Quad Core i7) would compile in about 30 minutes.

Most consumer PC's would compile in around 1 hour 30 minutes.

Most average Laptops would compile in around 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Tl:DR: Without the right hardware, it can be super time consuming when releasing for multiple devices.

Originally I thought it might be some sort of rogue root app or something until I recently got an iPhone (through work, don't ask, and yes it completely blows lol) and while browsing through chrome I get the exact same thing on it here and there...it would appear more and more mobile targeted ads are getting put everywhere :(
