Thank you so much. I tried to add wav file from black boot animation to a white one which I downloaded. No matter what I did, change permissions etc. , couldn't get it to sound. Then I remembered I was using it when I was on this ROM. I prefer the white one.:)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
New arise is working great on this rom. Wish we had an update for some new goodies. Great rom but dead thread :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Agree. Great ROM. If it was ever updated, I would come back. In the meantime I'll stick with PN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Same for me when I install. First time fail so I did it again and Installs fine. No idea why.

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Why do you like PN? Usually I would totally respect the thread however the development is stopped so as far as I am concerned any discussions go unless developer tells me off......... ')
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Well,i like PN because its looking just like pixel. Its using pixel launcher With working swipe left,having system pixel sounds,and fully working Assistant,regular updates and something thats important for me; fully working Google app With the TWO feeds where one is "normal" and the newest "upcoming" feed. I installed MP several times and lost this second feed even With clean installs,updating Google app and so on,but nothing.

Still,PN is a ROM i dont use for all its good for,its great for ppl that customize and have Nice settings,me personally installed it just to have real pixel experience.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Thanks. Dirty Unicorns although not on xda anymore is also similar
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nico4k:
Quick question, Does Enhanced 4G LTE mode, AKA VoLTE work on this ROM in T-Mobile? (I just switched to T-Mobile today and it is enabled under cellular & networks). Thanks in advance! :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Can't see why it wouldn't. Works fine on the Big Red network.

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nico4k:
Thanks for the confirmation. It doesn't work for me. :confused:

I guess I will go back to stock and test if it works that way. This is by far the best,most stable ROM I have ever used in my 8 years of flashing custom ROMs.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blast0id:
Try carbon rom, unless you want 100% pixel experience, then maybe DU or PN... I'm loving carbon though, excellent development over there too... This definitely was my fav rom on my GnexsixP up until carbon's most recent weekly with systemless substratum...

Sent from an Arby's Jalapeño Roast Beef ++Bacon slider... NOM!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Carbon Rom was a favorite on my Galaxy but I really like Pixel features. I'm afraid to buy a Pixel though after all the problems some people are having with this phone. It doesn't really seem like Google stands behind its phones. When these die just out of warranty Google is reportedly telling people they are SOL. Huawei initially extended the warranty but now they are doing the same thing. Whose to say the Pixel will hold up better than the 6P?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] infamouzwt:
My Nexus still running good
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Mine is too but the warranty still runs to July. There are way too many people whose 6P's just start boot looping out of nowhere. Google claims it's a hardware issue. If that's true they should have recalled the affected phones instead of running out the clock on the warranty.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Let's get one thing straight Google are clowns and the organisers are clowns. Any phone made by Google is gonna stuck for at least another 2 years. The pixel they made the camera sensor too far away from the glass so they got flare but software I.e hdr corrected that. You have to ask yourself what company releases a phone without thorough testing.

I hope they learn from this I really do but I would avoid a pixel phone for now until they improve.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] infamouzwt:
Should I unroot and take the 7.0 OTA or stay on this ROM? 7.1.1
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tarroyo:
Hopefully this gets updated when 7.1.2 starts rolling out for our Nexus devices.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Leegalaxy:
Stay on this ROM. Remember this is the stock Pixel software with some tweaks to allow it to run on our 6P. The next stable release for Pixel phones will likely see an update for this ROM as well. Until then, expect the same update frequency as the Pixel phones.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
Hello guys

have installed this rom once again. Now to get the latest security updates is it right to install EX-Kernel or Franco Kernel? Which one seems to be the better one? Thanks for your answers!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
When I used this ROM I got better battery with Franco. But I didn't use any profiles either, just default.

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

Well, pixel phone update frequency is every month with security patches.

And those can be important!

This ROM haven't been updated since December (?!).

I would move on to another ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
I want to go back to this ROM but currently im on the latest vendor img NUF26K. Is it just fine for me to stay on this vendor img or should I flash the december img version for me to use this rom? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I went back once and then I flashed vendor/radio/bootloader images first, then this ROM. I think it works without doing this also, but that have me an error message on every boot, but the ROM worked fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Can those of you that still using this ROM confirm that Google now is not working like it should, with two feeds? (See picture).

I clean installed this ROM several times a couple of weeks ago, updated Google but only got the old version of Google feed.

I thought it was Google issue, but when installing other ROM, I had the new version right away after updating Google. I miss this ROM, but I really want this two feeds.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Neekapp:
I tried searching this thread but hoping somebody can help me... I may have to return my phone for a camera issue and I flashed the stock factory images directly from Google... However when I plug my Nexus 6P into my laptop running Windows 10 its still comes up as a Pixel XL. I checked the build.prop and of course everything says Nexus 6P and angler because I flashed stock with fastboot but it still pops up as Pixel XL, can somebody help me with this issue?

Edit: Figured it out haha something as simple as uninstalling the pixel drivers from Windows. It now reads as Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Franco gives you better battery life but you sacrifice some performance, even using it in balanced mode. Ex-kernel is more geared towards performance but you can choose governors and profiles that draw less battery. Personally I could never get used to Franco's Kernel. It made my 6P feel like a hundred dollar phone. But some people swear by it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
You mean like this

These were mine steps

Latest Vendor February

MegaPixel ROM

Vendor Fix

gerard_f's latest Full pixel mod [ZIP][N4F26O]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Yea, that's the Google now I was missing on this ROM.

Never heard about Vendor Fix, what is this fix for?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Leegalaxy:
If you use Franco kernel, then you have the latest security updates as part of the Kernel. How is this different that the ROM security patch updates? Genuine question...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
What vendor fix sir?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Yes it is. Well, I feel better and safer knowing that the creater is active and working on the project ( he likely are also), but we don't know anything at all since he is absent here.

Also, with the other custom ROM floating around in the forum's, there we get regular updates, like security patches and sometimes some goodies and tweeks. I feel the ROM is more complete if updated regularly, I don't want to have to rely to certain kernels to get security, I want that to come from the ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
I just installed this rom coming from PN with the february vendor. When I reboot my phone to TWRP, I dont have my files and my storage is empty. When I get to the homescreen, it gives me a pop up that the device has a problem. Why is that? Should I flash something?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Leegalaxy:
This ROM uses the December vendor image.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
So what should I do sir? The pop up msg in after the bootup is not really a problem, my concern is that my TWRP has no files in it if I want to install a zip or restore my backup
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Flash the December vendor and see if you can read your data in TWRP for starters.

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Sir where did you find this vendor fix? Thanks! Running this rom while having problems with TWRP showing no files. Running february vendor img
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TjPhysicist:
Wait..google has two feeds? I've NEVER seen two feeds in my google, and I just moved from stock w/root.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
Here is the fix, i think i found it in this tread but not really sure, don't know the page
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
So how will I flash this sir when my twrp is not showing any files?

Edit: flashed it thru flashfire but nothing happened, twrp still doesn't show anything
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
I really don't know why your TWRP isn't showing the files. Have you the latest version of TWRP? Maybe you have to reinstall TWRP. I did it with TWRP and running smooth.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
I have the latest version of TWRP, all is working fine before I flashed this rom. TWRP is ruined after i set everything up and reboot into twrp
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
I don´t know if it´s helping but go to twrp-page and download the latest version on you phone. then install the .img-file via flashify (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify). You can also download the TWRP-file via flashify and install.

Maybe it will work then.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Im currently using the latest version, Im afraid I might messed up my device since I dont have a computer on me right now

Edit: flashed the twrp recovery img via flashify but still boots me up in the twrp that still shows no files

Edit 2: flashed my backup thru flashify then it boots up with my security lock pattern. It shows that my pattern is not correct. I am rebooting to y TWRP but still it doesn't show me any files and I cant flash a zip rom. Someone help me :((((
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
What about radio and bootloader?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
BL: 03.79

Baseb: 03.64
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Thanks. Did you install this last?

Link?

Edit: 03.79 is for Verizon.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
you can install it via twrp: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/nexus-6p-radio-bootloader-recovery-t3433637

i had these already installed.

look here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70418136&postcount=298
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Thanks.I gave it a try. Works fine,i got my Google back but the Pixelmod take away the Pixel XL name and i loose the free photo Storage.

I Guess i cant have both.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
Which rom do you come from? What do you mean with Pixelmod?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I came from PN. Have been trying several ROM today,but wipe correctly and starting from full wipe.

The mod im talking about is the one you mentioned; gerard_f's latest Full pixel mod [ZIP][N4F26O.

When installing that the Pixel name is changed to Nexus 6P.

I looked it up and the reason is that Gerard changed it back to Nexus because the unlimited photo Storage dont work. As far as i know it dont work on Cortex or MegaPixel either.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Your correct the u limited photos in this rom eats away at your drive storage. Ah seems like just yesterday we were talking about this :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gabidiesel:
I was in your situation 2 days back......and my friend.......only flashing the stock rom 7.1.1. in fastboot.........

The problem was...........I flashed the MegaPixel....everything was well....after the boot...the rom has detected a small update rom(Update stock rom)...and it downloaded the update itself ......I installed arise and the Viper4...from magisk module.....reboot......and after that the twrp tried to flash that update......fail.....and ....TWRP ask me the password and it doesn't let me to flash any files and any zip rom.....my sdcard was not seen in TWRP......only flashing the stock rom 7.1.1. in fastboot save me.....sorry for my english....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I installed magisk from aroma installer..

Well, I try to launch FlashFire but I get this message. It says magisk is supported.

Why?

It says on first page this ROM have magisk root. I haven't installed superuser on the side so that must be included in magisk?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Choritrowhin:
I love this Rom . Really very impressive rom :good::good::good:

I wish you will develop for OnePlus 3 :cool::laugh::highfive:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tropical cactus:
Thanks for a plausible explanation.:D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
Thread cleaned. Please don't be so demanding on developers who do this as a hobby. ROM updates, general updates and notices are not required, this isn't a job. Let's all relax a bit shall we ;)

You're obviously welcome to use any ROM on the site but remember it's on an as is basis, so don't expect or demand updates from developers.

Have a good day all!

Forum moderator,

Matt
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
It's works on the January build of Cortex or the February build if you change one line in the buildprop. Devs know how to provide unlimited photos if they choose. Personally I think you are stealing cloud storage by doing that and am happy not to have that particular feature.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

I don't think people were demanding updates as much as information regarding whether development has ceased on this rom or not. But that's just my two cents. Feel free to delete my post if it's deemed inappropriate.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Could we possible discontinue the thread due to lack of communication and support from the developer.

I am currently using this ROM and love it however there are some bugs and questions I have but due to lack of interaction from the developer they cannot be answered.

Could I suggest closing the thread so no more comments can be added and if the developer returns he can of course request it to be reactivated.

I don't think anyone is being demanding just realistic. There is honestly no point in keeping this thread open when the last input from the developer was over a Month ago. Closing the thread would at least stop people commenting and also benefit anyone hoping for an update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Agreed 100%

See this is why I just wish the dev would have left one message , that would take 1 minute of his time, simply updating users of the plan of his ROM for months, if hes not going to be back, no problem, if he will at some point, no problem, but a quick update would go such a long way, and I don't think you'd have what you are having now. Because users are kind of left hanging.

I am absolutely not saying any dev owes anyone anything, they Obv don't. They are nice enough to do this for free and share their amazing work with us. So please don't misunderstand me. This would be something the dev would do as a solid, ya know. Like I said earlier, it would be a big help towards the question marks, and it would have taken what, 60 seconds to make 1 post over these last few months? That's my take.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] robin786:
I should've read the latest discussion before flashing this ROM. Now I'm stuck deciding whether to flash to other ROM or stick with it ( simply the best ROM for stock feel + Pixel mods with no extra steps)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
Just an FYI, we won't close this thread, users can provide support and advice to each other for plenty of time to come for the latest available build.

Forum moderator,

Matt
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Ok. I only ask because the developer did ot here https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-hyperstock-v2-5-1-t3506576

Could you explain to us all please what ot takes to close a thread.

Lack of development?

Lack of communication from OP.

Lack of updates?

Will this thread stay open until the developer tells you its discontinued or will moderator step in at somepoint and close it....

I just want to understand your logic of keeping this thread active when its clearly dead and receiving no updates. Surely every comment takes up space.

Would It not be beneficial for all to close it and if the developer wanted her or she could contact you to re open it. People can still download it but no more comments could be added and it would also be very clear all development had stopped.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matt4321:
We only close threads at the request of the OP or very long term abandonment of big projects which means the thread is just turning into complete OT, although this does vary.

The last update was only about 2 months ago, that's still better than most OEMs, there may be plenty of users still on this ROM who want to support each other with tips and tricks and help each other with bugs or things that they find. You are obviously more than welcome to stick on this ROM or move to another. Every comment is contained within this thread so it's not exactly taking up loads of space in the forum.

As said, user to user support may still be wanted by many. As long as this thread is on topic there is no issue here, it's not breaking any forum rules. There are plenty of old devices with ROM threads that are years old and haven't had updates in years but users still support and help each other in the thread.

There isn't much more to say about this. I hope you understand a bit more why this thread is fine as it is.

Forum moderator,

Matt
[Nexus 6P Android Development] robin786:
I think it's pretty clear what the moderator said. Either you can stick with the ROM or look for one that fits you. Let's not coerce the OP into difficult situation, like demanding for closure of the thread.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Thanks for the explanation.

Hi everybody....Why I receive an update of 37 mega?????.......
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
That would be January's security patch. Don't install it. Just ignore it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gabidiesel:
Its annoying ......how to make to desappear​ from the status bar....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Try turning off Google play services notifications.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drolgnir:
Go into developer options and turn off automatic system updates. Block notifications like stated below/above to get rid of the message, then turn the notifications back on.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] letrain02:
Flash December vendor IMG.. or as posted in this thread a few times, once by me. There is a patch (a zip to flash in TWRP) that just changes the build.prop for the vendor and the ROM so they match and the warning goes away.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fearphage:
My battery died over night and now my phone won't boot. It hangs at the bouncing dots (after I enter my unlock code). Anyone seen this before? No updates or upgrades besides apps lately. Just curious if there's anything to do to recover from this before I wipe and start over.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Wozdoesitbest:
Is this rom not being developed anymore I have not seen a update in awhile
[Nexus 6P Android Development] robin786:
At the moment it's not being updated. You may also read few posts above and a page back that can provide the whole picture. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
Can't you enter your custom recovery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drolgnir:
It's currently at a stand still. There is currently only user support.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Holy balls dude, you guys are really getting your panties up in a bunch over here.

Let me make this clear...

This is a HOBBY. I have full time job, two kids, a wife, and a basement I'm in the middle of remodeling. I've also been contributing to the development of a web application called "Muximux", and writing my own Google Assistant Voice Agent to interface with Plex, couchpotato, sonarr, and radar...amongst other things.

I will do releases when I feel my phone needs them. I will fix issues that bug me. I will add things that I want to add. Nobody is required to use my releases, nor am I required to spend my days fixing every nitpick or gripe that comes out.

If you want the latest security patches...install them. If you want these features...figure out how to port them yourself.

I have downloaded the 7.1.2 update and started looking at it, as I'm sick of my battery dying, and I realize it's been a couple of months since I've done ROM work.

As such, I will probably have an update available in a few days. I hope to get fingerprint sensor stuff working, as I'm guessing the drivers are now there but it's just not enabled.

But please everyone, remember...it's just me over here, and I've only got so many hours in a day. I'm doing this for my own entertainment. If the level of support or updates are not to your liking, then I implore you to flash something else.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Really glad to hear that all is well. Thank you for sharing your work with us. Looking forward to your next release!!!;)
