And to further iterate on the above post -

I literally have to pick what small portion of the world I get to devote my 2-3 hours of "free" time per day to, and the Voice Interface project (Phlex) has been very time-consuming. It was initially just a simple IFTTT script, but given how I have to play in the Google Assistant ecosystem, it's snowballed to the point where I'm now running a dedicated server and domain for handling the authentication with Google Assistant. I've got five different testers in five different parts of the world to try and get a few minutes every day with, plus trying to find time to work on the acutal "have a conversation with the thing" bit of the program.

So, I do apologize for the absence, and I don't mean to come across as harsh.

But it's tough, having ADD and putting random software "things" out into the wild. And as I've said - I've only got so many hours in a day. And for whatever reason, sitting up until 1, 2 in the morning because my phone won't currently boot but I want to get the latest version of what I'm working on isn't so much fun. Once I start working, I don't want to stop.

Again, now that I'm getting a persistent notification to install the 7.1.2 beta, I'm getting a persistent reminder that my ROM is sadly out-of-date and people are probably pissed at me. So I pulled the update this afternoon, started extracting it. I'll be doing the same thing I did last time, which is essentially decompiling systemUI and settings and merging in the features that make Pixels pixels. I will be sure to either fix photos or disable the full-storage option. I'll be including the latest version of camera NX. Whatever kernels are out there that I can integrate will be integrated. And the "moves" feature...this I already know how to enable on the software side, it's just last time I tried it the firmware wasn't updated yet. Hopefully, this update brings that firmware. We shall see.

So let's everybody calm down. I'm not dead, and I haven't gone insane or anything. The work shall resume.

In the meantime, watch a video of me controlling Plex with my voice.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great ROM. Looking forward to reinstall MegaPixel6p once it's updated, hopefully with the Photo upload option. Also, super interested in checking out your Phlex once you're done. I have a collection of over 1500 movies on my Plex server that I would be glad to test it on. Will it work with Google Assistant on my phone or only with Google Home?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
It will work with any iteration of the Google assistant.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fearphage:
Yes, I can get to recovery, but I don't want to wipe unless I have to (mostly because Allo has no backup).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tarroyo:
To me it's not that big of a deal, if you're looking for monthly updates go back to stock or one of the other roms, There's been no major updates this works fine as is.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
That was my general sentiment in not being more hasty to do an update...it was a stable release, nothing was blowing up...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fearphage:
While I appreciate all your effort, I think a little communication goes a long way. As you're married, I suspect you recognize the importance of it as well. I think people wanted to hear you explicitly say "I'm not working on this and won't be updating it" instead of assuming that was the case. I was hoping to see an update soon, because I'm an optimist and had no reason to suspect otherwise. Not everyone is switching roms daily/weekly. I like this rom a lot and wanted to stick with it, but I also like updates. I didn't know those were mutually exclusive until recently. If it was known that this was a one-and-done rom, that would have helped inform my decision. Again, I would like to assure you that I understand there are lot more important things to be done in life than maintain roms and I appreciate your work and effort. I maintain several OSS projects and as best I can when I lose interest or run out of time, I try to at least post that in the readme or open an issue saying that I'm looking for maintainers. I'll restate again that I don't believe that you owe us anything, but I do feel it would be meaningful and worthwhile to communicate with the users/community that the updates aren't coming and/or this project is currently not being maintained. I think putting that information in the OP would silence a lot of this thread. While it's easy to see that you won't be maintaining this rom today, in a few pages it will be hard to discover again. Not everyone will find out the truth by searching almost 50 pages of posts for clues. One more time: I'm not trying to be rude or put you down in any way.

TL;DR - Don't underestimate the value of communication.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DavidSantos:
Hey. Look, can you tell me if this rom has google apps ? I mean like , the dialler is acc google dialler and the calculator google calculator , but does it has updates directly from playstore , or is it like other roms where the update comes when the rom is updated ? Cheers !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
It comes with all the Google apps which update normally thru the playstore. The only difference is the camera app which is not the Google camera but camera NX. You even have the option to debloat this rom during installation process.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DavidSantos:
Oh right , but is camera NX better than Google's ?

Sorry for my noob question , but debloat ? What's that ? Looool sorry man , I'm just new.

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
The camera NX is great. Debloating means that you can discard any app that doesn't apeal to you thus giving you control of what stays and what goes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DavidSantos:
Oh , right. I'm sorry. Thank you for the reply. But how does the camera NX compare with the stock 6P camera that I have now (Google camera) ? Is it worth flash this ROM now ? Or wait some more time for updates ?

Any tips when installing this ROM ? Settings and stuff ?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
We should be getting an update here soon. If I were you I'd wait for that. Me personally I couldn't wait...so ended up reflashing this rom even after I had already updated to the latest stock(N4F26O, Feb 2017). In other words I love this rom. About the camera : try camera NX. If you don't like it you have the option to install the latest version of Google camera.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Leegalaxy:
Could you possible add this post or something like it to OP? That way we can direct people to it when they come in asking about updates.

I have always maintained that this ROM is not a normal custom ROM with nightly updates or regular tweaks but rather a stock ROM that will follow normal stable releases. It has been difficult to convey this to people though as it might have been interpreted as wishful thinking.

Anyways, we all appreciate hearing from you on this [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]. I love your work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drolgnir:
Thanks for your investment! I enjoy this ROM everyday.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
That's a very valid point. Honestly, the lack of communication came down to the simple fact that I didn't anticipate working on Phlex for two months, or Muximux for a month before it. I hadn't seen any noteworth or pressing updates in the news that would warrant any immediate need to update what has been working just fine on my device until recently. I didn't intend on not updating it...I just got sucked into other things.

Regardless, yes, I will be more diligent in letting people know I'm alive.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] live4vball:
Well played

Your work here is truly valued. People wouldn't be pissed about not getting an update if they didn't keep coming back to your ROM because it gave them something that the one they switched to didn't. Take your time, do your thing and please just let us know that you haven't moved on to another device every few weeks or so. I for one am thrilled to hear you're looking into 7.1.2 and plan an update for your ROM sometime in the near future. I can't wait to flash it. Until then, good luck with all of your projects. And enjoy a sixer of Lakefront on me.

Error Message

I installed everything as stated and when I start up I keep getting the error message "There is an internal error in your device please contact your manufacturer". Everything seems to be working fine. Any Idea what this is or what I can do?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I had same problem and flashed a zip that was suggested earlier.

Worked for me.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] SamuraiCowboy:
thank you so much!

Thank you so much I'll try this! Just wondering to we need to install BusyBox or anything? And is it ok if we already had SuperSu Installed on our phone because I noticed that the package installer installs it too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I'm not sure. Maybe someone else can answer that. I just installed what came in aroma installer..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] churchey360:
Would love to try this ROM! But i just got my 6p yesterday and don't wanna do any flashing until I've had it for a little while since my 5x malfunctioned and stopped booting ?? and i was without a phone for a month lol but I'm happy because i got this nice 32gb grey Nexus 6p ?? Lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Congratulations. Welcome to the club!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rockingondrums:
Don't even worry about this very vocal minority that annoyingly whine. I think it's especially pathetic someone's trying to make an analogy using your marriage. As if XDA could come anywhere near family. XDA is Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation compared to family. Family will always trump anything else in this world. Period. And family takes a lot of work to maintain.

I don't even let the company I work for interfere with my ability to care for my family. XDA is lucky you're here doing anything all all.

I don't believe you need BusyBox for anything related to this ROM, but when in doubt in aroma, stick to the default option. Couldn't tell you about SuperSu, I'm all about Magisk Su.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
Then if you can enter custom recovery, either flash the zip or restore a backup if you took one. If you've wiped the zip, then sideload the ROM from a computer and flash from there. Your data should be preserved as it would be a dirty flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
That was my point about the communication, and not even that, one simple message would have went a long way and been so helpful. Of course, things are more important and come first, and as he said, it's a hobby for him. Even if he would have said , he can't continue it anymore, absolutely cool with that. But a 2 sentence post a month ago would have helped users here greatly, no he Obv doesn't owe it to anyone, but it would have been a help in communication.

So I agree with u for sure about that.

Yeah this ROM is one of the best, would love to see an update!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Been working on this all yesterday. Just finished up the mods for SystemUI/Settings/Framework, now updating apps and other addons...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
That's good to hear. Nice your active again. I wonder if we could have a clear all in recent windows. I really don't know why Google don't have one. Is there a reason they won't put it in?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
If I remember correctly, there is. But you have to swipe all the way up to the top and it's on the top left. Not on stock, so I'm not 100% on that. Like 80%.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Correct. Only it's on the top right.[emoji6]

Couple of possible bugs I noticed.

Navbar does not adapt to the same color if I am in YouTube then subscriptions.

When installing the rom I have had boot loop but then another walk through aroma again then it's fine?

The Google Now feed on homescreen swipe right is sometimes blanc and won't come up. It does this other roms.

Hope the above helps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Okaham:
Why is it that I constantly seem to lose root on random occassions? Also, applying full substratum themes seems to cause a bootloop...is there a fix for this? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrDowntown12:
Long press the notification and disable notifications from Google play services. Obviously this could block other notifications you may use/need but it's a workaround.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AngryDinosaur:
So it is a common issue thing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
It's not an "issue"... It's working as intended, it's just that you don't want to take the Ota since it will undo anything that digital has done in his rom.

[MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] Getting this phone tomorrow can't wait to try this ROM out should I flash or wait for 6.0.1 update
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joe_donkor:
Might be a loooong wait :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AmyClaraRose:
I don't mind I'm in progress of making my own rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
The wait is over!

OP has a link to the latest and greatest. It's based on the January release. It's NOT deodexed. I've removed the APM mod because GravityBox does a fine job of providing an APM.

Xposed update to v79.

SuperSU updated to 2.66 version, includes auto-patching/systemeless root.

I've added a few extra kernels - but haven't had time to try them all - so beware of dragons. Everything *should* work just fine, but if you notice something, please let me know. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] luckdog:
Nice, does the systemless root and auto patch mean that android pay will work without any extra effort?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
It *should*, but I haven't personally tested it. It is literally the exact same install you'd get if you just flashed SuperSU after flashing this. I did just try with Xposed and that still doesn't work. But if it usually works with systemless SuperSU, then yes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AmyClaraRose:
Nice one
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LllysiumPtolemus:
Is there a way to stop htc service pack from forceclosing? I just did a clean flash and rebooted, but htc keeps crashing on me
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
If you installed the HTC Camera, then you need HTC Service Pack and the Sensify Xposed Module - that enables HTC apps on non-HTC devices. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gd6noob:
Should I be using SELinux Enforcing?

At the end of the installer, its not checked
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Hello digitalhigh, thanks for your rom. It's working great for me but I see you deprecated the APM due to an xposed module doing the same thing. However I'm pretty sure that xposed modifies system partition and breaks android pay. If you would please consider adding APM back to the rom as an aroma option or something I'd very much appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ranger093:
So Xposed won't work right after you flash? Because SuperSU is systemless now? What if you use the "Stock Rooted" kernel?

EDIT: I guess I misread what you were saying... You were saying that if you use Xposed at all that android pay would not work. Right?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gd6noob:
How do I enable Advanced Reboot?

Also, I didnt realize that the Blinkfeed Launcher has the weather and clock (which I wanted).. anyway for me to install just those 2? Do I need to reflash the rom, I just installed all my apps

Also, Titanium Backup cant seem to uninstall or freeze some apps, HTC Camera, some GApps, etc.. Ti Backup seems to uninstall/freeze but when I reboot, the apps are still there...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Izeltokatl:
Does the vendor image have to be updated for this version? Last one I have is Angler_MMB29M. I ask because some devs are packaging the image with the ROM and others are not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Navbar is just changing to match the default theme of the app you have open. There is no software to even bug out on this, it's just a theme change via the system.

No idea on the install bootloop issues. Tell me how it works on the update when it's released.

Again...not really anything I'm doing...this is all on Google's side. Any changes I've made are largely cosmetic...

Magisk...I think randomly losing root is a known issue, I'd check the support forums for the app.

Substratum - I honestly don't know if it can be used at all. I included it under the impression that RRO/layers was baked into all OSes and it'd just work. Apparently, this is not the case.

Just doing the final bit of testing on the update now. We've a 7.1.2 base. 5x kernels, plus stock. Latest Viper4Android. Disabled Google Beta notification. All the Pixel features, minus the pseudo-camera stuff. Moves is currently enabled in Settings, but doesn't do anything again.

Probably be released this evening.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Really looking forward to it. Thanks [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] robin786:
This is the word that will calm the tits of people all over the world. Good luck & thanks for your passion in keeping up the development.

Others might have said this but this ROM is the lifeline we have given Google's decision not to give Pixel features to Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
IIRC, Google broke something in 7.1.1. Using Substratum legacy and theming frameworks (Android System from Substratum) will cause boot loops. You should be able to theme everything else. For the time being I believe you need a source built ROM that includes OMS in order to theme framework. Last I heard, Google said they were aware of the issue and already had it fixed internally and to wait for an update when a member of the Substratum development team brought it to their attention. I haven't checked their G+ page in a little while, but that's where it was at last time I looked into it.

https://plus.google.com/+CharG/posts/ZDgZQDRv5p9
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
That's correct. Per Lycke's Swift Black and Swift Dark substratum themes work well with stock ROM's though and theme framework.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Didn't even think that was possible since it was broken in source. You have your notifications, etc. themed using that on legacy?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
Just the notifications aren't themed. Everything else is. The framework isn't just the notifications though, is it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
It's the notifications at least. Not sure what else to be honest. I would imagine there is more, though. Most themes will work on 7.1.1 with no issues so long as you don't select Android System. Some pop up and give you a warning saying not to theme it (if you selected it) and others will simply give you an error saying it could / would not theme Android System. Other themes which allow you to theme framework on 7.1.1 legacy will just end up boot looping. Here's what Swift Dark looks like on a ROM with OMS.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
I've tried swift on non legacy such as pure, and it does look better as your screenshot demonstrates. However, I experienced a lot of bugs and so returned to this ROM as it is so bug free. Here's this ROM's notifications with swift applied....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
It seems everything else works fine on the test build...

I'll look at their framework modifications, see how difficult they'd be to merge via .smali. Not making any promises, but it's possible I can add proper Substratum support "the hard way".
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Same. I prefer ROMs like this as I don't eventually lose out on screen off / any screen okay Google. Plus in my experience, things like Viper just work, you don't need to go messing around in system files to get it to work. I also had Android pay working on modified images, never got it working in a source built ROM. At most I could add cards, but transactions wouldn't go through at the terminal. Been a while since I used it though, and I don't are to anymore either. Looking forward to the update here with or without full Substratum support. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Could you add the digital camera stabilization they have on the pixel. I think it's just software. :)))
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fearphage:
All your projects sound pretty awesome. I've been using Kodi forever, but I guess I need to look into Plex (and now Phlex).

Thanks for keeping us posted! :highfive:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
At this point, I think I'm just gonna drop Substratum from the installer. The ROM is already themed, per-se, and I'd rather not make the process of updating this any more complex than it needs to be. More complexity = "I'm less inclined to want to do it again.". ;)

Plex is amazing!!! Kodi is an incredible product in it's own right, but I got really sick of having to re-scan my entire damned collection every time I switched/reformatted/updated my HTPC device...which was often. Kodi is great if you have one device, and your media and player are both on that device. Once you start talking multiple players, networked content, and/or the possibility of watching your stuff outside of your LAN...Plex is 100% the way to go. You install the server app where ever your media lives. It indexes your stuff. Install the Plex client/player on the device you want to watch on - which is just about anything. They have apps for most smart TV's, roku, amazon TV, Android TV, raspi...and a web app.

Once set up, you can share libraries with your friends. You can upload your media to Google Drive and use a "Plex Cloud" server to stream your stuff from ANYWHERE, no PC required. And again...all of this works outside your LAN. Watch on your phone. In the damned car. I use it to watch when I go to my parent's house.

And on, and on, and on. So yeah...Kodi is awesome...but Plex is a lot more useful in terms of sharing and connectivity.

I will have to try again today, but Android Pay *should* work with the latest version of Magisk and Magisk Hide enabled.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
Whatever you decide, you can be sure your work is much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your ROM, I really like it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
This maybe a feature or a bug so someone maybe able to advise. After I finish a call in my Bluetooth headset music player (pulsar+) starts automatically... I can't find an option in the music player to stop this. Anyone have the same issue. I know it's not just this rom but several?
