I will try this ROM this week. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Doomhamma:
Perhaps you should wait untill the dev says that it's finished uploading ... There's some chance that it's not fully uploaded yet and You might have problems.

Just my thought
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Your right about that. Sorry [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION].
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Where is that
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Hey, no worries. It's finished uploading!

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634751083

Now, just a full, 100% disclaimer: I did make some last-minute changes to scripts and such without test-flashing. My daughter was asleep in my arms and I figured it'd probably be OK.

If any of you guys want to do a quick flash and lmk how everything looks, that would be greatly appreciated.

Notes:

Magisk is all you need now, no PHH superSU, so it's not there. You have to enable root through the Magisk app.

Substratum doesn't work well, but some themes will do things for people, so I left it. I tried adding support to the frameworks via .smali, but it's ugly and would have required I resign the whole damned ROM. Too much work for future updates. Trying to make this as clean as possible down the road. However, should you choose to try Substratum, be aware that theming SystemUI/system framework could cause boot loops.

This is based on the 7.1.2 beta, so expect beta stuff. Also, I totally spaced on including them, but it's probably adviseable to flash the actual beta once before hand, just to make sure firmware and radios are current. Again, I apologize for the omission, but I literally just thought of this now.

Everything else should be the most recent versions available.

Kernels - credit goes to the respective developers, I just grabbed the ones that looked like they where updated recently, and that I got to boot on 7.1.2. I have not done thorough testing with any of these 7.1.1 kernels on 7.1.2, so it's possible there could be issues, but not likely. Point releases, right?

OP Updates, long rambling blurb about me just being one guy doing this for fun will come shortly.

Donations?

My donate address is donate.to.digitalhigh@gmail.com. While I'll never require people to donate in order to enjoy my work, in this case, I am directly taking time away from my other projects in order to do this for you guys. So if you do really enjoy this ROM, buy me a pack of beer, or a case, or whatever you think is fair. It always helps to motivate me to keep the updates coming. ;)

So yeah, give it a spin, let me know how everything looks. If fixes are needed, I can make them before updating the OP and all that good stuff.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Wait for OP to make the announcement

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

I'll be reporting back
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Leegalaxy:
So, you recommend that we install Android beta 7.1.2?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
"This is based on the 7.1.2 beta, so expect beta stuff. Also, I totally spaced on including them, but it's probably adviseable to flash the actual beta once before hand, just to make sure firmware and radios are current. Again, I apologize for the omission, but I literally just thought of this now."

I flashed the Beta yesterday through the Android Beta Program. I'll flash this over it. :) My Internet connection is S L O W . But I'll report back. LOL

You'll have to be enrolled in the beta program and if you have a custom recovery (TWRP) you'll have to re-flash the stock recovery before the beta OTA will install. You can always flash TWRP again after.

Good luck!

:good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
i was running the last megapixel6p (the december version). Should I choose dirty flash or update in the installation menu ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Leegalaxy:
Thanks for the quick reply!

I want to avoid that if possible so maybe I'll keep my eye on everything here to see what the results are for those that try a pure dirty flash versus those who flash the Android Beta first.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
I will be coming from another ROM, should I just clean install flash this and will be fine? Or do I still need to flash the stock recovery and install beta?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
If I were u I'd install latest factory image and enroll into beta program
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
and install the 7.1.2 ota as if i was running stock OS ?

Edit : i should make a full wipe, re install official factory image + 7.1.2 through the beta program ? And then install the new megapixel rom ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Please excuse the lack of addressing everybody's posts at once, I'm thinking this is gonna be moving quickly and I'll need to update the OP sooner than later.

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B4acSOboIe6RbGNSOGFEMVNYc3M&export=download

This is what I flashed initially for firmware and stuff, this is what I'd recommend doing before flashing mine. Note that Google is evil now, so you need to flash my ROM immediately after this - at least between booting system after. Booting stock system will wipe out TWRP and install stock recovery, which you'll then have to reflash. My ROM has the kernel patched so that this doesn't happen.

I have no idea what will happen if you just flash this over top of my previous ROM....as it's a point release update, I'd expect firmware fixes are minor. But, you never know. I prefer to have my firmware and radios as updated as possible, but it might not be necessary.

Also - I've changed the device name in build.prop from Pixel XL to Nexus 6P. I don't think this will cause any problems, but again, I'm not sure what Google will do. It's not necessary from my end anymore, as we have Assistant without that hack, so I removed it to keep things as close to stock as possible.

So yeah. This is what I can tell you guys about the transition between releases. Hopefully that clears some things up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
In order to have latest vendor images and radio we have to flash latest factory image 7.1.1 (N4F26O, Feb 2017) and afterwards install beta 7.1.2
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
is there a way to get unlimited photo storage ? editing the build prop ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
I would try this order of operations:

1. Backup data.

2. Flash this zip .

https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B4acSOboIe6RbGNSOGFEMVNYc3M&export=download

3. Restore data.

4. Flash my ROM, use the update setting.

Hopefully, the build.prop change shouldn't cause issues, and it should work. There's a possibility that my updating system apps directly to the /system folder could cause issues, but really, this is the same thing you get from doing an OTA update, so I doubt it'll be problematic. If you get FC's or issues after doing the above then wipe /data, reinstall, and do a restore from goooogle.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DavidSantos:
Hey everyone. Got my 6P stock , with no root nor TWRP and etc... so , I'm thinking about installing this ROM , I'm currently running the Feb security update , how shall I proceed in order to install this ROM ? Thanks a lot ! Shall I update do the beta , or what ? Tell me please , I can't wait

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Sorry for the noob question, can I flash the #2 said zip thru TWRP? My desktop is not recognizing my phone so i cant flash thru adb fastboot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Just_Rise:
[MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION] thank you so much for the work

Are the unlimited google photos storage from the google Pixel available on this rom yet?

Addicted to this sup bonus so much

If no thanks for the efforts , anyway again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] diddly3000:
Is this the stock Google 7.1.2 factory image?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Yes u can

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

I'm actually gonna do this the hard way. Fingers crossed
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puertorecon:
This the only issue I am having. This is a very clean flash. I was on Beta 7.1.2 Stock. I also flashed with stock kernel from Aroma installer.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] OTCosmin:
Same here
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puertorecon:
One more,...But the two issues are not major.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puertorecon:
Yes,...Those are the only two issues. The small text on the lock screen. And the color of the text on the previous post.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I went back to stock, signed up for beta, then this ROM.

So far so good.

Only thing, when I'm going to settings and to WiFi, I can't press the wheel on top to adjust the settings for my WiFi, like WiFi off during sleep, show available WiFi etc. When I press the wheel, setting shut down.

This is probably because it's beta?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puertorecon:
Everything is working fine for me. Those are the only two issues that I posted earlier are the only things that I am having on this build. The gear is working for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rajanprash:
Install 7.1.2 developer beta and then Flash this latest on that is what I gathered. Cheers.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DavidSantos:
Everything that is wrong with this ROM , is the same that is wrong with the beta version ... Just installed the beta version and I wanna go back to normal super stable stock

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puertorecon:
If anyone else is having the same minor issues,...Please share. Other than those this ROM is rocking.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
I'm back. No major issues. Installed it like [MENTION=6767627]Sandnes74[/MENTION] did and will keep you updated if I come across any new bugs that weren't already discovered.

---------- Post added at 03:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

Try the gear in the wify menu. Mine isn't working.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
To whom it may concern: The double feeds on Google app are working now!

Is finger print gesture working ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] robin786:
The bug that I found : WhatsApp not displaying profile pic of individual or group at the status bar
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Not working for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Alarm shows up twice on status bar
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Not for any of us 6p owners
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hunt:
That's not the bug! I'm on Stock ROM, and it's same behaviour.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Has anyone tried flashing the latest rom over some other ROM without returning to stock and just clean flashed? As long as flashing first the new 1.2gb stock zip?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
I've flashed the last megapixel6p rom over the previous one, with a dirty flash, and select update on the installer.

Works great, only experiencing minor bugs related previously (small clock and date on lock screen). No fingerprint gestures, but that's not a bug, stock 7.1.2 doesn't get fingerprint gesture either.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I have also those bugs.

What I don't know if if the clock bug is beta or ROM bug.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

I tried first dirty flash, and saw the small clock on the lock screen and decided to instead flash stock, sign up for beta and start clean. So far everything runs smooth, I have the alarm clock bug that's beta related and the lock screen clock bug, that I don't know if it's beta or the ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Cleaned flash this rom coming from PN. Running fine with the said problems on the previous post BUT I managed to fixed the small clock bug while doing the split screen. What happened is I did the split screen and suddenly an FC popped up then it takes me to the lock screen and I was amazed that the clock is now normal..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
just wiped cache and dalvik cache (coz i installed a module on magisk) and now the clock is big as usual. Bug fixed !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Thanks for the tip. Worked for me also.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
What kernel are u guys using? Currently using stock right now but its somehow sluggish for me..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
To those asking about getting unlimited full res photo storage,

Here you go.

Follow directions.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Does this work, for sure? I did this previously, and thought it caused issues. If someone can confirm, I'll merge this into the release.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kenkanekiei:
Hey :) thank you for the update . The clock bug is is fixed by using the split screen like someone said but for me the split screen is not working properly. Once I get into split screen mode there is no way to exit. I had to restart to exit the split screen mode.

And idk if this is only for me , the device gets into a boot loop when I try to install a module from magisk. I have tried the Dolby atoms and vipr. So just incase you don't want to flash the whole rom again download magisk mount zip and get into TWRP and flash it then go to file manager and locate magisk and delete the mod.

Sorry for my bad English and if I said something stupid :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
thanx a lot. I was asking about how to get free original unlimited storage.

Now i'm a bit scared google find out some people tricked the photos storage, and wipe all their pictures (my wife would kill me if i lost all of our family pictures).

So i downloaded Flickr with a 1 000 gb free storage.

Even though, i 'll try this trick asap.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Peppespa:
refer back the question, since no one answered me, I kindly ask, can someone tell me if it is functioning on Miracast and videos at 60fps? are fratures which already has the rom? thank you so much

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Great ROM that runs smooth as the last one.Clean installed two times, and I still can't open settings for Wi-Fi, where I should configure stuff like network notification and keep WiFi on during sleep.. I get FC on settings instantly when I press the wheel cog. To bad, since that is kind of important for me. Because of that and the other bugs, I ended up with the previous version instead with the newest Franco kernel. Android 7.1.2 beta is to buggy at the moment maybe.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Xavier102296:
**IF COMING FROM THE PREVIOUS BUILD OF THE PIXEL ROM**

This is what i did

1. Downloaded both the official angler 7.1.2 update and the update to this rom.

2. Went into recovery and did a backup of DATA only so uncheck the boxes except data and don't worry about doing any wiping all you have to do is boot in Recovery and back up your DATA

3. Once all your data is backed up flash that official 7.1.2 Angler Update.

4. Restore your data , for me it had a slight fail message at the end but don't worry about this.

5. Flash the March update rom and go through the installation process.

6. Wipe cache/dalvik cache.

7. Reboot (For me this took about 5 minutes give or take)

8. Profit.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Just to report back-

I dirty flashed the 03/05 build with stock kernel over the 7.1.2 developer's beta preview and am not experiencing any issues except substratum themes not sticking. (I'm still playing with it though)

ROM is running smooth and I'm evaluating battery life.

Thanks [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mtalbert63:
I can also confirm that split screen results in a systemui crash and the only fix is a restart. Clean flashed cover 7.1.2 beta zip included in this thread. Clock goes big after split screen recents but the systemui continuously crashes. Thanks DH, only a matter of time before this is perfect just like your 7.1.1 build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Can't comment as to whether it works or not, but is it possible to leave that an option in aroma installer? If I remember correctly, making that change breaks HDR+ in Google Camera.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Wi-Fi icon force close is a bug in the 7.1.2 preview.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
If they cared they would have done something. I don't think they will, but in the future if they do, they'll probably just make a change similar to what Microsoft did a few years back with their cloud storage. Doubt strongly they'd take action like that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
Should i delete the previous nexus xml or juste copy paste the new one after whats already written in the stock nexus xml ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
All I did was copy/paste ( along with other steps) and it worked. If you notice it's not working after, you could try to delete the other, but I didn't delete anything else, just the copy and paste. Let me know if it worked

Edit: also, and it's not in those directions, make sure you set the permissions to match the others in that folder, it's probably not listed because they assume we know to do that

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

Only thing is that HDR+ goes away, if that's why you mean by problems, then yeah, but I didn't notice any other negatives/Drawbacks but whoever tests, let the OP know for sure HDR + is the only negative or if there are other things.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
Didn't get that last sentence.

About HDR+, can't we make it work with another camera app ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] freezer2000:
I love the HDR+ on the N6P.

Just replaced the Nexus.xml as provided previously and the unlimited seems to be working at least as per the photos app. Will need to check my drive storage.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Nope it's pretty well known that you can't have both, no one has figured it out as far as I know, gotta choose one or the other.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
i did what you told me and reboot the phone but it didn't work. But i didn't get what you said in that quote : which permissions are you talking about ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Yeah I check it by opening Google drive swiping from left, and clicking on upgrade storage and it shows a breakdown of what's using what. I actually just tried it to check, followed those directions exactly and it's working. Afa hdr, check my prior post.

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Me and another guy just tried and it's working. You have to set permissions to that XML file you added to match the others in the folder.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Alright last post about this since this is technically off topic. But it should be like this. To op, sorry for derail, just trying to help.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Will there be a non beta based release? Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
It seems like its working. Just uploaded a video, went to Google drive and it didn't eat up my space. See if it lasts. Thanks a lot dude !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
The ROM is great, thanks Dev!

Has anyone managed to apply any substratum themes? I have tried uninstalling the app, fresh installing, reinstalling themes and clearing data etc, all to no avail.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
gotta say the split screen is really buggy. if i use split screen, system interface stops working and relaunch, and then i get stuck in a loop of previous apps opening and closing without being able accessing the desktop.

except that, the rom is wonderful, thank you very much !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puertorecon:
I am getting that too. Multi-Window force closing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tarroyo:
Bummer guess I gotta return to stock to use the latest beta, currently on the December megapixel build. Usually I would have clean flashed factory wipe, format data, dalvik, etc.

I'll wait for 7.1.2 stable if that's the case, should be sometime this month.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ipmanwck:
Me too. Really hope to see a stable build soon.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I returned to December MegaPixel after a day with the new release. So nice and smooth.

The new is also great but some bugs because of beta 7.1.2.

I'm reading on beta forum they have the same problems, so the beta is a bit buggy at the moment.

I guess the newest Franco kernel with December MP will patch some of the security..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] neeko92:
Did you return to December rom with only a dirty flash ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] drolgnir:
Amen brother! This ROM is rehab gold.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cablefuzz:
Just to say... been on this rom since day 1, I downloaded the march build, flashed with the upgrade option, zero issues,

just a big thanks to the developer,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] letrain02:
I'm also curious about this. I haven't hand any issues so far on Dec 10 build.. But if the build.prop name is changed will this remove unlimited photo storage?

---------- Post added at 04:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

Unlimited photo storage has worked just fine for me...And I'm even on project fi...So if they should be able to tell based on imei...But unlimited still working...And my old beta enrollment even says pixel XL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
Is multi-window crashing for you? The only way I've found to exit from it back to full size without the system UI crashing and a return to lockscreen, is using the back button.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
No, I flashed the whole factory image first (NUF26K) , then December ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rajanprash:
Could you please point me to the March build. Google is only leading me to a March build of 7.1.1, is there a 7.1.2 somewhere. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Won't be druv:
Try this if it's this ROM you're asking about:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Hmmm...

I currently have unlimited storage, as well as HDR+ in Camera NX. Am I doing something wrong? :P

Just want to take a look at SystemUI today, see if I can't fix the lock screen sizing, disable (or fix) split window, and replicate this wifi icon bug.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
If this the case that's amazing. But I always thought when you change the one build prop line to google that hdr+ goes away, I re tested it yesterday and indeed after adding the new .XML as well as making the those buildprop edits, unlimited was working but hdr went away.

If you are saying you followed the exact directions and kept hdr , again that's great, but I'm confused as to how. Now I do have the Camera NX and not the stock Google camera, but I dont see how that would make a difference. I could try dl the stock Google camera but already know it will be the same result. Maybe you are using a completely different camera and that has something to do with you having hdr even after changing the build prop line to google.

Hey if this is the case, please look into it more, do some testing, to make sure you DEFINITELY have unlimited after making the changes, and you kept hdr+ and how you did it.

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Good good, Digitalhigh is saying he somehow kept hdr+ after following the directions from my post. Is that the same for you? I always lost hdr when doing this and as far as I know, everyone has as well, I just did a test yesterday, made the changes, did a test just like you to check to make sure I had true unlimited, and I did, and then I went to camera and hdr+ was gone, which is normal after making these changes. So I'm really confused as to how he was able to keep it. Usually as soon as you make that buildprop change from Huawei to google, you lose it. So yeah I'm super curious to hear what's up and if this is definitely the case, how.
