I came from PN 8/21, rooted, encrypted, SU.. this installed fine. The aroma installer was awesome. There are a few minor hiccups that you need to be aware of that I ran into..

1. After install, it took a reboot to get project Fi to activate.. don't panic if your carrier activation takes a while..mine hung for almost 10 minutes, i rebooted and it took another 10 minutes after that before it activated..

2. As the post a few pages back said, it does bust you back down to TWRP 3.0.2-0 .. this will cause problems.. DO NOT set fingerprint or other security during setup.. immediately after setup, go into TWRP (via pwr and vol dn from phone off, when bootloader comes up, use vol keys to move to recovery then hit pwr) and update it to your SD copy of 3.0.2-2 .. if you don't (like my attempt lol) you will get locked out of TWRP because it won't decrypt.. I had to fire up my Linux machine and fast boot install updated TWRP for that mistake.

3. Some apps will fail, especially Google docs, sheets and drive. After restore via TIBU, I went into root explorer and deleted these apps from sys/data/apps (just deleted the folder) go to play store and it gave me option to "update" the app, and that fixes it. I went one more step and re-wiped dalvik and cache from TWRP after. All apps work fine for me..

4. If you want a custom kernel (I like NINJA), don't choose elementalX in aroma..it will boot the stock if you unselected it..and you can manually flash any other nougat kernel via TWRP.

5. I saw people saying this ROM was running slow and fingerprint was slow.. that is true and false. the first few hours after flashing this it was sluggish as well. Suddenly it "let go" and running fast, smooth and without issue.. my guess is the apps and system are updating in the background.. battery stopped sucking so much as well..

6. Time.. from downloading this ROM, wiping, installing, fixing my boo boos (see above) TIBU restore and back to everything the way I like it was 2 hours.. not bad..

Thanks for this ROM! The aroma installer you put together is the easiest way to flash I've ever done.. excellent work!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbl1979:
Thank you for all the info. I read that the latest TWRP has errors and the team said to use 3.0.2.0. But your saying without updating TWRP after first install it will fail to decrypt on boot?

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Also I take it that this install will not wipe internal storage as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] siphonsoul:
Hey guys, first off I want to say I love the rom. However I'm having an issue with Root permissions. Every time I open up a root app (including substratum), it doesn't give me a popup to request root. It just says "Root permission has been denied, closing app". Any suggestions? I tried searching the forums and I wasn't able to find anything regarding it. I'm using the Magisk root method included in the rom installation.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrjake1970:
i was on 3.0.2-2 on PN .. when i was done flashing this, i had 3.2.0-0..

no, it will boot fine and you can use ROM.. but you wont be able to get into TWRP if you leave security on with the -0 version.. and the -0 version will have issues flashing nougat ROMs.. you need to update it soon as you can.. i mistakenly put fingerprint and pin on during ROM setup.. when i booted back into TWRP it asked me for code.. i entered it then sickenly remembered that verson wont decrypt.. it hung for a bit then rebooted itself.. i tried to get back into TWRP but it hung at splash screen.. i fastboot loaded version -2 back on, removed security just to be sure and can flash fine again..

no internal wipe necessary.. personally i wiped system, data and cache in TWRP before flashing this ROM.. in the aroma installer it will prompt you to wipe again, and i did just to be sure.. no internal storage loss.. clean install you will have to reinstall all your apps again with your choice of backup software..

edit: from what i read in the forums, the twrp issues are with making and/or restoring backups.. the issues arent when flashing.. and my personal opinion after reading dozens of threads in the 6p forum, the vast majority of problems come from one of 3 things.. not wiping data properly, using theming software or xposed modules, or not following the posted instructions or missing a step..

this aroma installer the dev has lowers the chance dramatically that you screw up a flash.. i wish more devs would use this method.. its very cool, easy and quick..gives you the chance to customize everything..

personally i did not install theming or audio tweaks.. i have seen more problems with those then they are worth for me.. my music plays, and i am learning about KLWP to make my phone look cool lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbl1979:
Thank you for this, it is very helpful. So I'll upgrade TWRP, flash this, setup without security features enabled, reboot into TWRP, reflash updated TWRP, reboot profit..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] humdrum2009:
OK ill ask 1 more time ia m sure others are having this issue,how do we update su binary on this rom.

Flashing chainfire su freezes boot process ,i tried that then thought i could update wit chainfire su then remove it.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rcurtis805:
I know the question I'm about to ask is gonna differ from one person to another depending upon how they use their device and personal preferences, but in everyone's opinion, what is the best kernel to use with this ROM? Stock, elemental, Franco if nougat compatible, etc etc etc...thank you very much, look forward to hearing your responses. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Hahahahahaha...that's like asking which is better Ford or Chevy! No disrespect intended BTW. Only you can decide which is best. Try stock for a couple of days, then move onto the others. All the ones you mentioned are done by fantastic devs and all work great. You'll find the one you like best [emoji106]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrjake1970:
i tried all of them on MM and found for my phone and how i use it (basic apps like fb, insta, msgs, ect and some light gaming) ninja worked best for performance and battery.. i use glassfish 1.2 profile with msm on and core contol off..ajust input boost to 134k on core 1 and 96k on core 2, rest zeroed out.. i use ninja on N also now and im getting the same awesome results.. also gives me the sound boost i like..

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

i switched to phh on MM a few weeks ago, there were/are some questions raised about superSU a while back.. i loaded that on N to use with magisk.. so far ive had no problems.. i started getting the annoying upgrade messages when i was on superSU as well and the first time i tried it failed and i had to reflash it.. then i started reading and decided to switch.. maybe look into the open root..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbl1979:
Flashed ROM without any problems. Running nice with ElementalX. Has anyone found a way to have center clock on N yet?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrjake1970:
there is a zip people said would work in the general section..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbl1979:
Thanks bud.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] humdrum2009:
got an email from phhh superuser developer concerning su binary update

This has been answered.

To update the su binary, you need to reapply the update.zip, i also stated this is not common knowledge and should be in the forum.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jesssiii:
KLWP?

Nevermind, Google search works great, lol

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TransportedMan:
Anyone knows if this ROM will receive future updates? Last time OP was this silent he/she went away for like 6 months haha.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
I am indeed alive, and it will.

After I put out the N release, I had a series of lengthy discussions with [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION], the developer of Magisk. I offered to help him with the Magisk Manager application, and so I have been diligently coding away since then. I have a few more things to polish up on that so he can release it, along with a new version of Magisk, and the goodies I'm working on there are enough to make me want to wait to update this ROM until then. Once that's ready, many other things about the installer will be changed up as well.

So, I'm here, not on vacation, and actively doing Android stuff. I just need to finish one of the pieces for the ROM first. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xadidas4lifex:
trust me...

itll be worth the wait... ;p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mike_augie:
Man its been a while sir, believe I tested for ya and ran some of great blueness back in the moto days .. maybe lg, forget, but glad to see ya alive and well and still around sir. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nighthawk626:
Never got so say thanks for this ROM. I've been running it since release and I've never stayed on a stock-ish ROM update since gingerbread was released
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbl1979:
Same here, super easy, everything went smoothly from the first boot. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dane1312:
Enything about Sense???[emoji3]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Not directly, at least not right this second. However, if the sense apps are still out there as flashables, it's definitely possible we could see those turned into a Magisk module. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
Xposed

Hey, will xposed work on this ROM? That's kind of going to determine if I get it now or wait unless there's another option for mods/modules.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] indian84:
No Xposed for 7.0.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
Yea I figured as much lol. Are there any alternatives for mods? There are a few of them I can't live without that are through xposed. Otherwise, I'll just have to stay on 6.0.1
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spotmark:
I'm a fan of Xposed and CMTE as well, but for now I'm using Substratum for themes and some mods from the Themes/Apps section to get my phone the way I like it. I have just about everything blacked out, center status bar clock, and I have eliminated the nav bar buttons and use Pie exclusively for navigation.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
One more thing, at any point will I be able to revert back to 6.0.1?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spotmark:
Simple enough. Either flash the images yourself, or use Wug's all-in-one tool.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xMIChael91x:
Will this ROM enable tethering?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
No Root

I went ahead and installed this and on my first boot was fine. However after I applied a substratum theme and rebooted, I lost root access. How do I get it back?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] froughie:
Do you still have SU in your app drawer? I would flash that via twrp to see what happens..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
Anyone else get this?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Is that out already? Aw heck. I'll have to add it. You *should* be OK to flash the update, although Magisk will probably need to be reinstalled. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
I'll wait lol but thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bobbyricha:
I want it! I really like this ROM!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] willhemmens:
Had some app updates earlier and since then Google Play Services keeps stopping. Doesn't appear to effect anything, just annoying that it's popping up every minute or so. Perhaps time for a reinstall.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
Do you mean the software update? You can turn off the notifications in the setting so it won't annoy you. That's what I did.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] willhemmens:
No, app updates. I've cleared the temp data for Google Play Services and that appears to have fixed it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
Have you don't the software update and if yes did it mess with anything or Uninstall anything?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] willhemmens:
Nope, haven't been given the option to yet, could be because I'm in the UK. When I get it, I'll update though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
I'm a take one for the team and try it out right now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bobbyricha:
I went from this rom to the NRD90U release though the factory images. I came back to this for the added features, looking forward to the base would being updated to NRD90U.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
This is what I get.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
Apparently it worked tho
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xadidas4lifex:
My brutha...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
11/18 build is UP! Changelog in Post 2. Notable change is the addition of LeanKernel as an option.

Dirty flashing will see varied mileage right now. In previous ROMS, I had a whole section devoted to deleting app updates that may have been installed to /data/app, which can conflict with the updates I include with the ROM. For now, as nothing should have changed, a dirty flash will be safe. As time passes between this release and the next update, this may change. I will be working on adding this feature back to keep dirty flashes as friendly as possible.

Crap. I forgot about this. I will try to add it in the next update. Otherwise, you should be able to steal it from a sense ROM and have it work...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 09eric09:
Thanks for the great work on the m8, can't wait to flash this tonight.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] networx2002:
I don't see the link or im I blind?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
Look again, you must have caught me updating the OP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] networx2002:
Got it now thank you!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Uh oh... I've ran you're M8 rom forever, glad to see you here cause I get my 6p on Friday!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] networx2002:
Working great! Just one thing is the way the home screen on the htc launch screen just a bit off.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] networx2002:
Just a bit of the htc launcher
[Nexus 6P Android Development] badboy47:
Yep I believe OP is working on fixing the dpi :).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] toknitup420:
Nice to see you on the 6p [MENTION=3400685]digitalhigh[/MENTION]. Used to love you're builds on the m8.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Swamphound:
I'm interested in trying the htc sense keyboard and selected that option in aroma along with sensify but must not be installing the keyboard itself as I don't see it. Do I have to also install the blinkfeed launcher or something else?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] digitalhigh:
You may have to enable it before it will show up? I know Sensify has to be enabled in Xposed for it to work, but I think you'd see FC's otherwise. If it's really truly not there, you should still be able to download it from the Play store. If that doesn't work, Sensify has a download section that will grab the IME and necessary lang pack from APKMirror. ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] schnob:
A somewhat minor nitpick but has anybody been able to get the notification LED to work on this? Otherwise running great, nice to see a few other former M8 owners in here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] luckdog:
I couldn't get lightflow to work either with this ROM no matter what I did, once this is working I will come back as everything else was great.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbudness:
So I fresh wiped and clean installed the newest update last night. Running Xposed with every option except CrappaLinks. Not running any of the Sense options except the Keyboard and none of the CM12 apps, along with the Kylo kernel. This rom is running buttery smooth. I'm loving it!! For just launching a couple days ago you're doing amazing keep up the great work.

If you need anyone to test builds or anything just let me know. I'm a flashaholic so I don't mind wiping often to try new stuff.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxys:
Like the title of this rom! :) cool
[Nexus 6P Android Development] markwebb:
Ok, what am I doing wrong? I have tried every possible variation in Aroma and ROM won't boot: keeps bootlooping and then takes me to TWRP? Am coming from PureNexus and did full wipe..numerous times.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kallell:
Anyone try out VOLTE on this?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] p70shooter:
You try flashing vendor zip?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Anyone else get an OTA update notification? Looking at the security update right now.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
I tried flashing the latest systemless supersu again to regain root access but everytime I booted up my device, it would hang on the splash/logo screen so I had to wipe and reinstall the rom. Now I have encountered the issue again where I have lost root access and now I know systemless wont work (I do have magisk and phh supersu)

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

For awhile, Magisk Manager says I have root mounted then out of nowhere, I suddenly dont have root access.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] apostol96t:
Try flashing the latest Magisk manager and the Magisk version of SuperSU. You can find both at the Magisk thread here. I lost root as well and flashing those on top of the rom fixed it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] warri:
Did you check Settings -> About Phone? What build are you on. I believe the September Security Patch is NRD90T
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SlakWReX:
Yes I did. On NRD90M the update was about 47mb. It did something cus it now says I'm up to date.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] warri:
Please Take a Screen Shot of the Settings -> About Phone Screen.

If you are on NRD90M you are NOT, i repeat NOT running the September Security Patch. You can also look 2 boxes above the Build number to see what Security patch level you are on.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chipstien:
Can someone tell me how to take a screenshot on this ROM? I'm at a loss.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] greyhd:
Power + volume down
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chipstien:
Yeah that is how it works on all the other Roms. But nothing happens when I do that on this ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mbl1979:
Been running this ROM for 3 days now, no bumps as of yet. Good job on a solid ROM!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mistamista2000:
Try the power button and the very bottom portion of the volume down key. Pressing the full volume down button doesn't work for me
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chipstien:
Wtf? Why does that work? Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Perfect example of laziness
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mccurt29:
Anyway to remove the nav bar?

I use swipe navigation
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spotmark:
I know it's been discussed. Try using the search box and you should find it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aravinddefy:
Update can be done??

After installing the ROM today it's ask for nougat 7.0 September month patch update shall I update, is there is any problem will occur if i update. Pls replay
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mohalazio:
did anyone manage to get xposed working in this rom ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
I can't install the security update. Fails and does not apply anything to the system. Will wait for the ROM to be updated. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AmyClaraRose:
I think update can't be installed because we're on a custom rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elemenopee:
Xposed doesn't work with N yet
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mohalazio:
found an article claims that systemless xposed works on nougat!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
Maybe link to it if you think an article you found says this? Xposed does NOT work with N yet. Xposed is usually a couple months behind new Android versions and N was officially released a week ago. Blobs are available for developers usually after the factory image was released.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Elemenopee:
There is no official xposed that works with magisk on N. If that article provides introductions you should try it out and let us know how it goes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
No there's some stupid click bait article that's like "How to get Xposed working on Android Nougat" then when you click the link it takes you to a blog page that says currently no Xposed for Nougat, check back for instructions on how to install once it's released."

It's stupid, all for page views. You won't find Xposed for N, it doesn't exist yet. All current Xposed frameworks are available for SDK23. Android N is SDK24. You can't install Xposed on Nougat, it won't even let you. It checks your SDK and will tell you you're on the wrong one and then abort the install.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Did you read the article? It's a step by step to install systemless root / Xposed for Android Pay to work. They only mentioned "...on 6.0.1+" they never actually mentioned Nougat or said it was working on it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
The rom itself is great, but 7.0 isnt giving me enough pros to outweigh those of 6.0.1(my ability to use xposed and other custom stuff) so im gonna downgrade. This will be my first attempt so I have a few questions. I dont want to sound like a total noob but.

1. Can I use twrp to flash the factory 6.0.1 images I got directly from google?

2. Immediately after I flash it, can I restore my 6.0.1 Nandroid backup from Resurrection Remix?

I have the factory zip for 6.0.1 already downloaded from google. I just need the green light on

1. Wiping this system.

2. Flashing stock 6.0.1 images

3. Immediately restoring 6.0.1 resurrection remix nandroid backup right after stock has been flashed.

---------- Post added at 10:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

After extracting the zip from google, there was another zip inside containing six images.

Boot.img

Cache.img

Recovery.img

System.img

Userdata.img

Vendor.img

Do all of these need to be flashed? And regardless of what needs flashing, can it be flashed in twrp?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kapak13:
My personal approach to downgrading was-

Flash twrp 3.0.2-0 (this can be done in twrp)

Wipe everything except internal storage

Flash vendor

Flash RR

Flash gapps

Flash xposed (if you want it)

Everything worked fine for me

I didn't personally bother with the factory images. I don't believe it to be any more complicated than just making sure you're back on twrp 3.0.2-0

If anyone reading this can counter what I just said, please chime in. I tried both digital high and weta while flashing back to RR in between both Roms using my above method. Never had an issue

Edit twrp 3.0.2-0 doesn't have any issues with backups like 3.0.2-1 and 3.0.2-2

3.0.2-1 = EFS backup issue

3.0.2-2 = Nandroid backup issue

So you should be able to clean wipe the phone, minus the internal storage, then restore your backup from internal

I'm assuming you made your RR backup with 3.0.2-0??

Hopefully so you won't have to deal with the EFS issue
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzusaYoichi:
I upgraded my twrp to 3.0.2-2 then made my backup. I had no idea there was an issue. Could you tell me what it is? Also, something else to note, I flashed a device specific nexus 6p twrp labeled with the version 3.0.2-3? I may have done the backup on this. Im not too sure really as my memory isnt the greatest. Just for the sake of safety, Im gonna go back to 3.0.2-0 as you suggested
