I guess you guys are all right. I have 3 phones N6 6P and note 4. I alternate phones about every 3 days but the phone I am using never turns off until.it's 3 days are done. The Note Is the only phone that Verizon recognizes that's why he is around. My N6 is running 2 6P 1 and note 2 yrs old. I get pretty much 4sot on

6P and 3 1/2 on the others. IF the Pixel is decent the 6 and 6P are gonna go. I usually don't keep phones for more than a year but I'm in a poor signal area and both the note and the N6 have the best signal where I am.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigmatt503:
Nope.. I've tried a few times and have given up. First non themeable gapps. Now just stops loading.. So irritating
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bsg411:
I've tried 5 or 6 substratum themes and they all work....I even had success with mixing certain items from like 2-3 different themes in my pn rom.

I'm using TBO theme ready Gapps v24.0

Is this Android 7.1?

Edit:. Checked it...it's 7.0...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Big Cam:
If I took a backup on Android N of just the stock room via TWRP, then flashed pure Nexus along with the MM vendor image, can I simply restore that backup? Or will I have to flash a Nougat vendor image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bsg411:
Did you backup the vendor image as well when you made the nandroid backup?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Big Cam:
Doh,......... no. I remember now. Well that was a dumb question. So could I restore the backup and then flash the N vendor image? Would that work?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigmatt503:
I'm going to wait until beans updates PN before I even bother messing with substratum.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bsg411:
I haven't tried it... I've been pretty content with my pn mm but it should work in theory...but a lot of people been having issues going from 7.0 > 6.0. I would check a lil bit more...don't wanna give u any wrong info.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gqukyo:
Don't think 7.1 will be released until the new Pixel phones are released.

For going back and forth between MM and N, one just needs to flash the correct supported twrp and vendor image. Flash new rom or just restore backup. This ain't iOS, we can go back and forth between versions as much as we'd like. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shadowstep:
That's correct, yes.

Lol, like [MENTION=4049833]Juzman[/MENTION] said, not really. It means that a newer revision of AOSP sources will be out soon with the new security patch and they would have to be synced by [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION] for Pure Nexus 7.

Nope, its 7.0 only, with October security patches. Google releases new images with monthly security patches on the first Monday of every month.

That's assuming that they are selling the devices tomorrow as well. Android 7.1 may not roll out until the devices goes on sale, which might be end of month or even next month. Just 10 hours to go, and we'll find out! :D

Btw, if anyone is looking to live stream the launch, here's the YouTube link for the same. :good:

The way I understood it, was that this thread welcomed a bit of OT as long as it doesn't drag out for years on end. But please correct me if I am wrong. EDIT: I guess my point was (in case it wasnt clear) there hasn't been a ton of developments (pun intended) to actively discuss on this thread.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:

It's an absurd request. I just thought we could lighten the mood around here. Seriously, until PN drops, I will tinker with android pay. It didn't work for me using pure nexus and Magisk. So I think I will give SuHide a try.

i mean... if you can put PN on your phone, magisk shouldn't be an issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] anl2304:
Thanks. Will give it a shot. My post was written in error: when I tried magisk I was on a 7.0 rom. But it was using phh superuser. Never an issue with PN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
If PN isn't updated with the frequency you desire, you're welcome to find another Rom that is.

You're not welcome to post veiled, disrespectful comments regarding your displeasure with the frequency of updates or the dev.

The regularity of inconsiderate, disrespectful, and frankly immature comments during the down time in this thread is disappointing at best.

If users have nothing respectful, constructive, or informative to post, simply don't post.

Moderators are constantly cleaning the drivel showing up here; Nate, PN users, and this thread deserve better than this.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jammol:
Does that mean I can't beg Beans to forgo purchasing a Pixel because I'm too broke to afford one?:crying::silly:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] beanboy07:

I have no idea what Magisk would/could do for you that Suhide doesn't; I stopped following that development a long time ago. Suhide 0.53 and SuperSU 2.78-SR1 take about 30 seconds to install and work great on top of the 8/21 build of PN. I use AndroidPay all the time - just used it today at Trader Joe's to pay for groceries.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Whip Cracker:
Apart from the faster processor and apparently slightly better camera, that's about it, really. It's got 4GB of RAM, but I don't see how that's going to make Facebook any better for someone like me, lol ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BIGWORM:
If one already has a 6P, it's best to keep with that. I don't think shelling out another 700+ is worth it. I'm sure Google Assistant will be hacked and slashed to work on our phones. And I don't even see that being worth it. It'll probably disappoint much like Allo.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jhonys:
The only reason Google made the phone price so high was purely a marketing strategy. They priced it exactly like the iPhone.

For the everyday user, seeing a phone with a google logo on it vs an iphone with apple logo on it, priced the same, instantly makes him think this is a high end device of the same quality. These are not the days of nexus phones, where google wanted to show other manufacturers how a pure nexus experience should feel.

I can only assume google has big plans for the pixel line and wants to become a major competitor to apple and samsung.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
That's actually a terrible thought process and I doubt that's what they were thinking. Most People as much as I hate to admit, think apple products are far superior to Android devices, hence feel their high price is justified, and as one can see, resale for an iPhone is always much better than any Android phone.

If you throw a Android phone out there with such a high price, 9/10 times they will buy the iPhone, because atleast it can be sold with the blink of an eye.

Everytime Google does this, they lose out big time on Pure Google supporters. I was just waiting on this to buy for the wife to upgrade from the OnePlus One, but no 64gb option, 32gb being too less... The 128gb XL for $850+ tax is obscene. I think I'll be getting her the iPhone she's wanted after all...

Disclaimer: I am by no means an apple supporter, never owned/used one, but I'm not afraid to call it like it is [emoji14]

Hey guys. I am running the 8/21 build and I am pretty happy with it. I have not tinkered with radios etc on this build. Would anyone suggest flashing a different radio or kernel? I am in the DC Northern VA area and on T-Mobile if that makes any difference. Just attempting to optimize performance. Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sapphirecoupe:
The only thing Huawei/google screwed up on the 6P is the gimped usb-c.

If there's a proper usb-c implementation on the pixel, that's the only way I'd consider this lateral "upgrade".

Radios I wouldn't flash unless you getting bad reception no real performance here.

Kernel wise EX is real good as mentioned b4 me .

I can point you to the simple fact it doesn't support video over usb-c.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] thesticks00:
Well my reception is not great. It also takes a long time to pick up signal when I go from an area of no signal (like a garage underground or tunnel). Can this be expected across all radios or do you suggest trying to flash one? Can't help but wonder how bad it has to get before you should start considering trying other radios. When I say bad, I am referring to the combination of phone, rom, radio and environment used in (as I imagine tower location and a host of other factors impacts this).

Thank you for all the helpful responses.

Hi every1

I just flash PN on my N6p and it asking me to flash MTC20F vendor img so i download compressed one and try to flash with twrp but it gives me an error that"could not find meta-inf/com/google/android/update-binary zip. I running 8/21 build with MTC20L.

Any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbc663:
Boot into TWRP.

Click on the install option then the Images button in the bottom righthand corner.

Choose the vendor image.

Select the vendor image partition.

Flash the vendor image.

Either reboot or continue flashing zips if you need to.

Make sure u select images first

With the github repo opening up, imagining there may be build released soon.

Anybody have info no how to user Phh's SupserSu when coming from a clean flash? The thread i've found made by him has a version of supersu from January, so not sure if that's the correct version.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mwillis:
Use the one in his thread. Flash Magisk and his superuser apk from his thread, then install his superuser app from Play Store after that. I have done this on a couple other 7.0 ROMs and it works just fine (even uninstalling SuperSU on one that had it preloaded and installing Magisk and phh's Superuser after that).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 530farm:
What version is in this thread? It looks like they still ink to chainfire's in the install instructions.

I found these instructions from this thread http://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

(If you have Magisk installed) Flash Magisk Uninstaller to get a clean start

Download the latest Magisk zip file

Download the latest Magisk Version phh superuser from this thread:

[Magisk] [2016.10.4] phh's SuperUser

Flash both zips in custom recovery

Install the latest Magisk Manager for a complete Magisk experience

does this look like the appropriate directions?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DrunkFuX666:
Not sure if any of you are upto date with android pay working with custom Roms. Had a quick question, wanted to confirm something. I recall that the whole problem with Android pay not working was due to rooting the phone. Would that essentially mean one can install the custom ROM WITHOUT root and still be able to use AP?

Anyone know...?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mwillis:
Yup, exactly. Essentially what you want to do is start from a completely stock, unrooted ROM (doesn't matter if it's Google's stock or a custom ROM; I've successfully gotten Magisk to work flawlessly on both). Download the flashable zip of Magisk and phh superuser, as well as his Magisk Manager apk, which can all be found in that same thread. Reboot to TWRP and flash the two zips (leave the apk alone for now); reboot. Once rebooted browse to where you downloaded the Magisk Manager apk and install it, as well as his superuser app from the Play Store; even though you just flashed his superuser zip from TWRP it is important to still install the one on the Play Store so that it stays up-to-date without needing to re-flash.

If you follow my directions above, the Magisk Manager app has a setting where you can flip root on or off and have Android Pay working without rebooting. I've gotten it working on stock as well as a few custom ROMs. So to answer your question, you cannot use Android Pay while rooted, but topjohnwu has made it very easy to quickly toggle root in order for Android Pay to work, then toggle it right back on.

I also highly recommend this app (by bpear) from the Play Store if you are using a Nougat-based ROM, it adds a quick settings tile to turn root on/off, it's super light and works like a charm.

Correct. No root or Systemless SuperSU 2.78 SR1 with suhide. Not sure about magisk.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] IM0001:
Yep. PN is unrooted out of the box now so you should be OK with it from a clean flash. And if you want root, currently Systemless SuperSU 2.78 SR1 and suhide as mentioned above does work as that is what I am running right now, and AP still works.

Hope it continues to for a while because more apps are starting to tie in to Safetynet and while I understand their reason, I need root for Kernel/Backup purposes and without that would be a pain.

Wow so I'm assuming this is the reason Pokemon is no longer working for me..? Just randomly stopped working for me 2 hours ago using Magisk.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] steviemch:
Unfortunately, yes. Suhide, magisk, none of the methods are working anymore until someone comes up with a workaround. Magisk (at least the latest version) isn't really an option anymore as the Dev has abandoned safety net support. Looks like we're all waiting on an updated version of suhide. Or, God forbid, abandon root altogether.

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] resynx:
Oh wow that sucks. I toyed with the idea of abandoning root before but gosh it's just so useful. The main reason I don't want to drop it is since I use root for an app to tether my phone to my laptop in places I don't have wifi.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mitchdickson:
I think you could do this without root. You'd just need to enter TWRP, mount system, and edit your build.prop.
