We've had that feature since Lollipop. But it was called Ambient display then. Now it's Ambient Display and Gestures. Which looks to do the same thing but are both in your phone? (Oh Google.) Either way, it's still a very poor version of even the Moto Display of 2013.

Yes. The Apple copied the concept.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
It was suggested, after I posted my procedure, that some could have issues turning on "Use rm -rf instead of formatting". Have you tried following the procedure without setting that option?

Have you redownloaded F2FS enabled TWRP, PN, BeansGApps, Flash Kernel and Magisk, verified the checksums, and tried the procedure again?

Last ditch effort would be to try clean flashing everything without F2FS (/data and /cache still ext4 and fastboot format userdata before flash), nandroid backup /data and save it to PC, convert /data and /cache to F2FS, copy nandroid backup of /data back to internal storage, set "Use rm -rf instead of formatting", restore nandroid backup of /data and reboot into system. Good luck!

Have a good one!

Switching roms

Is it worth switching from Nitrogen OS to PureNexus?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Einwod:
Only you can decide that. Backup your current ROM. If it's not 7.1.2, remove it from your phone and save to computer. Full wipe is required to go to this version from 7.1.1. Enjoy. If you don't like it, return to your previous version.

Followed the Dirty Flash instructions and getting "System UI has stopped".

- Downloaded the latest Pure Nexus zip.

- Booted into TWRP.

- Wiped cache and dalvik cache.

- Updated vendor image to N2G470 in TWRP.

- Flashed PURE NEXUS 7.1.2

- Flashed SU v2.79.

- Rebooted.

- Got "System UI has stopped".

Went back and did the entire process again. Still getting the error. Searched and could not find a solution. Any help is welcome. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alienflorina:
Someone mentioned that this might be related to substratum themes. But I'm not sure. I had the same problem, having active swift black theme and for the same error.

Unfortunately I had to clean install.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Az Biker:
One of the issues with a dirty flash is, if you end up with a problem, you'll need to perform a clean flash prior to getting any significant help in the thread.

I'd start with a clean install and see if it resolves your issue. If it doesn't, you'll receive much more help compared to a dirty flash..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fresnogamer:
Thank you both with this. I was hoping to keep some of my phone setup. I hate having to update and redo all my settings, apps, etc. Loose SMS messages, and other stuff.

I will do a clean and see how it turns out. Thanks again.

PS: I had no theme installed.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Okay, did the "Clean" flash and it booted. Just one (possibly really stupid newbish) question? Where are all the apps?

I know the answer is "flash GAPPS" but I though they where already included in Pure Nexus? I did not need to flash when I did a "Clean" flash from Stock to PN. Why now?

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

Never had to use GAPPS before. I guess this is correct right?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
This is the latest MM GApps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905720962

I think GApps just update in the background so you'd end up with the latest anyway which are probably in the N GApps but I'm not 100% sure, there may be libs and stuff which are OS specific

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Hadookie:
Same happened to me and this coming from someone that has had f2fs working in the past. No matter what I tried I couldn't get it to work this time around. I had to flash stock to fix the bootloops. I'll stick to ext4 for now.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] flo_O:
I may be wrong but I don't think so :p

For root methods you have 2 options : magisk & supersu, this has been discuted a lot accross this thread. You'll have to make some searches to find out the differences.

Both are easy to flash, it's only a zip to flash through recovery. I think it's explained in the FAQ.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KennyG123:
IIRC MM builds were prerooted. Just flash and see. You can root at any time.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MicaRyanSulc:
Ok thanks man
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajm786:
I have this issue as well...but found an acceptable workaround.

It requires that you have Substratum installed, as well as a theme. You don't actually have to apply a theme if you don't want to, but you do need to have it to expose the crucial function:

Restart SystemUI

Simply restart SystemUI, and your key should show up, particularly if you modified it with a custom icon. This procedure works each time, every time for me.

Wifi Issues

At my new job, I have absolutely no reception in my building. My company has two networks, one is for company issued laptops and phones, and another network that everybody is supposed to be able to connect to. You are supposed to connect to the open network and be redirected to a page where you can enter your domain credentials.

The problem is: I can never get to the company portal to login because as soon as I connect, I get disconnected. The cycle repeats and drains my phone in a few hours if I do not disable WiFi.

The main suggestion I have read is to completely reset all network settings, tried that and wiped my cache for good measure to no success. Everyone I've talked to say they get redirected fine and do not have any issues.

I have ran out of ideas and really would appreciate any help. As of now I don't receive any calls or texts until I walk to the parking lot at the end of the day.

Verizon - Google Pixel (Pure Nexus + Root - 7.1.2)

I believe this is an Android 7.1.2 issue. When did the problem show up for you?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bassheadx:
I have no idea, what brand WAPs are in use. My guess would be Cisco.

I've had this issue earlier when I was still on Android 7.1.1, recently updated to see if that would fix it, no luck.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ithorien:
Man, bluetooth has been the battery plague, and I had to reset app preferences in order to try to wrangle battery drain down to normal.

Aside from that, lots of apps are extremely sluggish even after clean installs; maps, Waze, seemingly others that use device location.

Gonna clean install again for May (already did clean for April) and see how it goes.

Attaching my log just in case anyone can help.

Are you using Wakeblock with the 5/09 PN? I installed it but I get 'Deodexed ROM, Service unbound' and a 'Unsupported Device/ROM' message when I click on the auto-downloader.

edit: Never mind, saw the fix in the WakeBlock thread. Reboot to recovery, re-flash Wakeblock, reboot, and it's working!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Perczzz:
Clean, dirty, doesnt matter. Vendor image is correct. Bootloader and radio correct. Using beans and open gapps it still occurs.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AlkaDragos:
I'm using F2FS and everything it's alright, including Safetynet. Partition type doesn't have anything to do with Safetynet checks :) just need to make sure you have "Magisk hide" enabled and you're g2g.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
Have you tried an "ultra-clean" flash, or as I like to call it, the Nuclear Option? I'm referring to completely wiping the device down, re-flashing the latest factory images, boot, go through setup, then re-install TWRP and PN/kernel/root/etc.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SyCoREAPER:
F'ing S. Now I have no clue what's wrong. Clean flashed to 7.1.2 and broken since. Oh well. I guess I'll worry about it after I do another clean flash to the new build
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
Are you on the latest bootloader? The May security patch factory images included an updated bootloader and my SafetyNet would not pass until I updated it.

I clean flashed the first 7.1.2 update and then dirty flashed the 5/9 update. Also f2fs. SafetyNet passes just fine for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kyzn:
Did you try turning off Magisk busybox and then reboot?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] luigidk:
Hmmm - that's not good - I was hoping it was 7.1.2 that causes the issue.... I can't say for sure - I was going to flash back to 7.1.1 and see if I could gain connectivity again.

Where I work is ubiquiti WAPs - and it is likely related to an enterprise setting.

Turn on your Enable Wi-fi Verbose Logging - I'll do the same and let's see if we're getting similar issues.

In my case - it tries to connect - its when I'm trying to get an IP that it fails... wifi goes - 'saved' and eventually disabled mode - but like you if I don't turn off wifi in the office its killing my battery with retries

How to disable root for some apps in this rom? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] honda kos:
Use magisk for root and then inside magisk app choose magisk hide menu.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AlkaDragos:
Please do some searches before posting a question, this has been asked many times before. You must use Magisk as root solution then use a simple option present in it's app management "Magisk Hide" so it can hide root from certain apps. Isn't something ROM specific though ;)

Glad to help; feel free to hit that "thanks" button at the bottom right of my post too. ;)

Anyone here affected by the early shutdown issue that seems to have plagued most 6Ps? Mine's shutting down anywhere between 10-30% now, but I've ordered an OEM battery replacement off of eBay for $10 and will put it in when I get a chance. Found a Reddit thread where some other 6P owners replaced theirs with good results. AccuBattery says my current battery is at about 70% of its original capacity or 2417/3450 mAh battery. I know I've seen some people get out of warranty replacements for this, but I'd rather just replace the battery myself than risk getting another defective refurb with other potential issues. Who knows how many charge cycles would be on the replacement either.

Anyways, just curious if anyone else has replaced their battery with good results here as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d1n0x:
Yes. You can download flashable zips for the newest bootloader and radio.

Also, you can flash the newest TWRP via Flashify, which you can get from the Play Store.

Lastly, you need the newest vendor, which is linked in the OP.

1.) Download and flash the newest TWRP via Flashify and reboot.

2.) Download newest vendor .img and flashable zip for bootloader and radio.

3.) Download newest PureNexus and Gapps. (optionally also download Magisk or SuperSU and a custom Kernel)

4.) Reboot to recovery, flash the bootloader and radio zip, reboot TWRP after installing them.

5.) Select the "Install" option, on the bottom you should see "install image", press that, select the newest vendor.img and flash it.

6.) Wipe System, data, cache and dalvik

7.) Flash newest PN and Gapps (optionally root)

8.) Reboot and set up your phone, after that you can flash a custom kernel.

Done!

Do you have a theme applied? I had camera issues when I had a theme applied.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leondestiny:
Feature: add ability to unlock with fingerprint after reboot/ui restart

so when we reboot and then usually we are forced to use the pin/lock method entry as the fingerprint wont work, will this now work without having to enter pin ? o.o

if yes, thats amazing.

so this will also work when we apply a substratum theme and it usually restarts system ui, and that also forces you to use your lock method to unlock it the pin/pattern whatever you have had set.

so this will also work with that then? we can unlock the phone everytime now when the screen is off if that is the case, awesome.

i only had one issue on the last build, and that was that i had to reboot my phone every time i wanted to switch over to another substratum theme.

no idea why, but it just would not theme , it would get stuck at android system.

and every time i'd reboot my phone, then whatever theme i'd apply would apply just fine.

has this been fixed by now?

Well this is a sad day for me. After many emails to Google they do not have a replacement for my Nexus 6P and do not know when the replacement will be. they said a few weeks but i has already been 2 weeks. They have offered me a full refund instead which means i will now own an S8+ until the end of the year when Google releases a new phone.

Encryption

When I try to flash the latest pure nexus on my 6p it gets to a point where it wants me to enter in a password. I'm a clean flash, however I've never been prompted for a password before. I tried a few that I could think of, and flash back to stock and tried again and still getting prompted.

Am I missing something?

Screenshot in case it helps:

Thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Some say yes... Some say no... I had it activated and it worked just fine, but others have stated that it's not necessary and others even had issues with the setting activated, so YMMV...

Have a good one!

You'll probably have to connect to a PC to 'fastboot format userdata', because this sounds like you were encrypted prior to wiping and clean flashing, but because wiping doesn't remove the encryption (and sometimes the system glitches the decrypt key) if you can't figure out the pin/password/pattern it's expecting, your only way around it may be to format. Good luck!

Have a good one!
