[Nexus 6P Android Development] azzrudin:
Every now and then especially when google is rolling out it's latest update I would get a little excited as I knew PN will have an update as well and all the wiping, flashing, reinstalling, bugs reports, bootlooping, troubleshooting etc will make me occupied everyday and I liked it. I'm not a programmer or a developer but I really love android and have been rooting devices since Tab 10.1. Got really hardcore into modding devices when I bought Note 3. Fast forward to now I think any flashaholics would agree that fancy graphics, adding tonnes of mods and able to make it fly is just junk that will not make the device any better in performance wise.

It's clear that stability is the most important thing followed with the performance snappiness. Some like me that despise any ads on device will try to block it using some rooted methods, while others would go as far as using LP to patch the system with hacks. What made me stay with PN is what we all wanted on a device which I've mention earlier. The stability of PN rom just amazes me and gladly say by far the best rom I've used for N6P.

I would just like to thank the developer and all the people that have contributed in making this amazing rom. Whatever the future is whether there's a plan to continue the development or not, just know that you did a very good job with this, you nailed it. I'm a satisfied user :good:

You're meaning that part about flashing twrp.zip ? Which was the only thing I was wondering about.. flashing the .img I get but I've never also flashed a secondary zip for twrp

What's that ? something for n6p or pxl ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
As some of you know I posted that I was moving back to stock.

Well I am back, sort of.

I am making an incredible stupid move which I may or may not regret. I'm getting a Verizon Pixel XL 2 rather than Google (if you were wondering why, price and availability and having a not rootable tablet, I've learned to live without it)

So I am back in that I am reverting my 6P to PN. With that said, if you cant find an answer in the thread, I will volunteer to be Unofficial Support for PN as long as my 6P holds out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the problem with Verizon phones the fact that you cannot unlock the boot loader - no TWRP, no custom roms, etc?

Also, I do not understand why you felt that you had to leave the forum just cause you changed phones. AZ Biker still posts and he's running a P2 XL and I'm pretty sure there are others. This is one of those forums that is large enough that it has become a community. If someone has a problem and you know the answer post it. I follow a couple of forums out of interest and not just cause it is something I'm actively using and occasionally something pops up that I can help with and I have no problem posting an answer.

Like you, I'll probably be running PN until my 6P dies.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RED ZMAN:
I'm on a Google store Pixel 2 XL since launch now and I still check in here.

Funny part is I have not unlock the bootloader, I have not rooted, and I'm really not missing much.

I'd say the only regularly used feature from my longtime rooting days that I'm missing is holding back to kill an app. I've got Center clock, I've got a substratum dark theme going that I love, get my updates on time every month, and I'm generally happy.

And for everyone that says they have to have root for ad blocking, I've been using adguard for the last two and a half years and couldn't be happier.

If substratum isn't able to be done on rootable when Android P comes out I will have to unlock the bootloader and start going that route again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Yes. No need to flash the secondary twrp.zip on the 6p. That's only for the P2XL ??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
Correct regarding the VZW bootloader etc...

Incorrect on why I left. I left on a good note telling everyone they could PM if they had questions. I left because I was moving back to stock on my 6P and didn't feel I had anything meaningful to contribute on an OS I no longer had.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
I haven't been runnin' PN since 8.1 came out... Doesn't mean I don't read everyday and try to help when I can... I think a lot of people do that...

Have a good one!

Count me as one of those people. :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
Ditto. Still come back every day to see how things are going. Addicted could be the keyword here.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
Your experience doesn't leave with the device or a change of OS. If you want to help, stick around and help.

Like others have already said, several users waiting on PN to get 8.0 have moved on to other devices but are still active in (or check in) the 6P PN thread, because, well that just how we roll :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] harish_hpd:
does this rom support permissive mode to work with v4a?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] H00pyFr00d:
Fantastic ROM. Really quick and the Pure Nexus settings are a nice touch.

Am I missing something though; where are the Layers settings?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digweed4me:
I am on MDB08K BUILD can I flash over?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DaveHTC200:
There are no layers settings, you need the layer manager app, I think (but am not sure) it is now compatible with 6.0

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager
[Nexus 6P Android Development] prestige2:
Same question.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
yes it is permissive out of the box until we can get enforcing working well with supersu on aosp

you need to download the layers manager app from the play store

yes but as stated in the 4th post you will need to flash the latest vendor image from

MDB08M

[Nexus 6P Android Development] ChongoDroid:
Sorry to be redundant, if I'm already on MDB08M is it necessary to flash vendor as well?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
no if you are on mdb08m no need to flash vendor. only needed if you are not currently on that build

Edit: updated install instructions to be more clear

Install instructions:

1. Wipe data,system,cache,dalvik cache from twrp

2. Flash PureNexus rom zip

3. Flash PureNexus Arm64 Gapps

if you get the message about contacting your device manufacturer upon boot it is because you are on an outdated vendor.img and will need to flash the updated Vendor.img for MDB08M via fastboot

thank you Mr. Heisenberg!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Heisenberg:
No problemo!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] H00pyFr00d:
Thanks. I've been using Layers on 6.0 for a few days. I just got the impression from the Pure Nexus app that it was integrated with the ROM.

Cheers for clarifying,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
i took it out for now because the layers devs kept changing things and it would produce an error when installing the update from the play store ( it was because of certain uid the app kept changing i think )

i also use the google dialer. T-Mo user here...

just curious, why is it not the default dialer? i notice most roms don't have it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DutchDogg54:
Nope, unfortunately not. You'll need to fastboot it. Might be worth mentioning it'd be nice to add the ability to flash these .img files in TWRP as you can with some other .img files. But, for now, only fastboot + download mode.

Yes, anyone can use the Fi dialer, several people have reporting using it without Fi with no issues. I'm not on AT&T so can't speak to VoLTE there.

You shouldn't really need to flash anything Google releases once you're up to date on Pure Nexus. [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] is the man and tends to be Johnny on the spot with updates. No promises, of course, but I've never even been tempted to flash some OTA from Google that doesn't have all the awesomeness of Pure Nexus on-board. In fact, Beans has beaten OTAs multiple times because he snags stuff from AOSP before Google can get it out. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmitty166:
They will be merged into the source here, you will not get updates from google

Nope, only fastboot, sorry

Android pay doesn't work on custom roms out of the box, simply for the fact of being rooted. You might be able to remove su and try, but I do not know if it will continue to work or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gd6noob:
Does change DPI effect certain apps from showing up in the playstore?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cynkrzy:
Just flashed the update (Dirty over the top of the first release) - wiped cache & dalvik.

Went to Verizon and enabled VOL Lte - and it doesn't work. It works with WiFi on, but strictly LTE no Joy

I thought with VZW and the separate CDMA and LTE radios that voice and data would work together anyway. Now my memory sucks so not sure it ever did.

Might just restore my stock rooted backup to check.

Does anyone with VZW have it working. ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
ya that is the expected behavior

ya android pay doesnt work on aosp based roms regardless of root, the fi dialer has lookup in it, as well as it helps with wifi calling on project fi, to turn on wifi calling on project fi goto the dialer app then hit settings 3 dots then goto calls, wifi calling

ya i hadn't really messed with quick settings yet but i can add the change so enabling those features isnt required to get them to show up.

no need to backup to flash vendor, it doesnt touch anything, quick unlock is coming but has changed alot from lollipop to marshmallow so will take some time to forward port that mod

do you have a layer installed? sometimes they can mess with certain apps, seems what you are describing is a layers issue with the dialer/phone app

it was a fix for the proprietary apps, and how they were setup

ya seems the 5x/6p dont have charging led support i just added the option more for testing, will remove the setting on the next build

welcome, and ya sooooo much better in nexus land without all that verizon bloat :P

both will be in the next build :D

notification led works. its in purenexus settings>display

look up^^

yes i just added that it will be in the next build

seems the nexus has problems with big wifi networks, in development options enable legacy dhcp and it should solve your issue

[MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]

I have followed the installation instructions to the letter but keep getting stuck on a boot loop.

Also when the device restarts it is telling me my device is no longer secure, but according to the first post detailing features this shouldnt happen.

"*Disabled Device modification warning" - If this is still occuring would this indicate there is something wrong?

When flashing it said everything was successful including the gapps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
no it shouldnt the way the dpi settings are done here shouldnt effect play store

it works here, i use verizon. have you gone to verizon website and enabled advanced lte under your account?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmitty166:
VoLTE works perfect here on verizon. Do you have it provisioned in your account?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BeansTown106:
are you flashing a custom kernel? as for the device verification warning that must have made it into this OP from my nexus 6 thread as i used the layout for both devices. on nexus 6 you can disable the warning, on 6p/5x the warning is built into the bootloader so it cant be disabled.. :( thanks for pointing that out i will remove it from op
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmitty166:
Dangit Beans!

Ninja'd again...I guess you get two answers

So to be clear the ONLY things you are flashing are PureNexus Rom and PureNexus Gapps? Nothing else at all correct? You have done a full wipe?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Shockz:
Yes, only flash the ROM and GAPPS. The rom has supersu already. If you are flashing a custom kernel like ex then disable enforcing mode.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ritchiejoe:
That is correct. I did toy with the idea of trying elemental kernal but I thought I would break my 6p in gently. The only thing I can think maybe I have done wrong is not wait long enough for the roms first boot.

https://gyazo.com/acd42322601fe39b3d43059d756d8fa3 - only thing I have downloaded.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dsmitty166:
How long are you waiting for it to boot? I think mine always boots in less than 1 minute.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ritchiejoe:
This time round I have been waiting twenty minutes so far......

Any suggestions on what I should do, also if I flash the latest stock image back onto my device will I be able to attempt to try this again or is it a newer image (hope that makes sense).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cynkrzy:
Yes I did, waited about 20 minutes and then powered off the phone, and powered on according to their instructions.

I'm going to restore my Stock Rooted Backup and see if it works there. According to VZW website, Voice and Data should work on most newer android phones even without VolLte.

I'll let ya know the results.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] HTCotta:
Anybody tried to run SwiftKey with the DPI cranked down? It doesn't seem to want to map the keyboard image correctly, although the actual buttons are in the right spots.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mmminez:
I meant when the source here is updated, how easy is it to update? Will I need to wipe my device? Still need to be flashed with TWRP? Sorry for the noobness, first time on a phone with an unlocked bootloader / TWRP.

Did you do a factory reset on your 360? I have flashed three versions of PureNexus and have not had problems connecting Moto 360 each time as long as I do a factory reset and connect with Android Wear as if it is a new device.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Digging up some old conversation here (not too old, thankfully..)

I thought that stock data restore has (or had) been a low priority for a number of developers. Are more developers updating to support the native backup? When I tried to use it there were only like 4 apps that actually restored data..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] malybru:
Worked for me

:)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dragon1313:
I've been reading some of these posts of the various issues people are having. I'm running my nexus, with elementalx kernel, on my 6p, and I'm not having any of these issues. I run greenify as well, and removed a few apps from doze. I'm writing this just to let others know that it must be possible to have things working smoothly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bsg411:
Stock data restore is no replacement for TiBu..... Besides stock can't restore non-playstore apps ?

---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

Agreed, but, I have gotten to the point where I can't recommend TiBu for anything but data such as call logs, xml format only...too many issues can be reintroduced, even after a clean flash.

Sent from my Nexus 6P, #WhiteUIsMustDie, #EndDarkAppOppression
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I really agree with this point. I used to use TiBu all the time but I just started to notice certain things refused to work after restore, to the point I had to reinstall the app clean anyways. I just bit the bullet and set every app up clean or use their backup system if they have one (like Nova or WhatsApp). It is tedious but I never have any issues after a clean install.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ozark_8125:
While we're talking about clean flashing... I'm new to the nexus and wondering about a couple things - 1. my build version on the 6p I just received is mmb29m, does that have anything to do with the vendor version? 2. I always format data on a clean flash rather than wipe. If I'm reading it correctly, that will decrypt my data partition and AFAIK it will stay that way when I install this ROM?

Pardon me for a little OT... but after formatting data / wiping internal storage, then I'll have to push the rom over via fastboot/adb (unless twrp still allows mounting of storage via mtp?) to be able to flash via twrp, correct?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
1. Nope.

2. Yes, I'd format data after you install the ROM and before you set it up but your way should still work.

You can use push or MTP via TWRP, both are supported.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JokerAce:
I am far too reliant on TiBU. It very convenient to restore all the apps after flashing or when changing from one phone to another.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I agree and totally understand. Most people don't have an hour or two to restore everything back to the way that it was so TiBu is a great solution. Personally, I prefer to minimize all risks of issues by setting my device up as new and clean installing only the apps that are necessary. Keeps my device debloated and I know the data is fresh and won't conflict with the ROM. Pretty tedious but I never have any issues this way.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] marbertshere:
Ah yeah, I have the same problem every once in a while and it can be infuriating. Try clearing cache/data. That helped for me once. Another time I just tried again in several hours and no problem.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bruteadi:
I heard some of you have the issue where the screen does not turn off on pressing the power button. Well I have found a temporary fix for it.

Just take a screenshot using Volume down+Power button. Now the power button will work as usual.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] micmars:
Yeah, it's a pain, but I look at it as the cost of flashing.

I rely on my phone to communicate with my clients, family, and for a ton of writing. Much of this is cloud synced, but I'm certainly not going to be able to receive phone calls if I'm in TWRP recovery.

Just as I'm not going to flash a rom in the middle of a workday, I'm not going to use TiBu for app restoration when I can just as easily install them from the play store (or grab from data, app, rename and put on my internal memory...this addresses the issue of installing apps no longer available from the play store).

[Nexus 6P Android Development] lpsi2000:
Yes, I hear you and I am also in the same boat on that one.

Yes, good process and agree you. It is difficult for when you are flashing new ROMs constantly. I don't have much time and I am hoping to get everything up and running quickly so I can go to my normal life. Life is hard out there for a player :)

Those are good ethics and rules but too many rules :). Actually they are damn good rules and I have to remind myself sometime about not flashing in the middle of the workday. However, I only remember this when I have a problem in middle of the day after flashing and plenty of work to get done before the day is over :eek:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jaladhjin:
So I don't mind using fastboot.. feel fairly confident about the process..

My only concern left is can I use the downloads that mention "Softbank" ?

Seemed like I saw somewhere that has something to do with a Jap or Kor source or for those devices or something..

All the downloads are here: https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler

Can I use "8.1.0 (OPM5.171019.017, Mar 2018, Softbank)"

On a US N6P ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
I suppose if softbank is your carrier, that would be the thing to do. If it doesn't work, you could always fastboot the other one :good:
