I think I know what happened. Fix soon.

I messed that up. My bad. I'll fix it in about an hour.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Link fixed on the website. ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Here you go guys. Sorry about that. Bad header. Hosts file is fixed now. Just unzip and copy/overwrite the old one. If you need to set permissions for some reason, set them to 0644 (rw-r--r--).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] arregnelle:
Is native tether unlimited? Or will it use my hotspot data?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Should be unlimited. I have the noprovisioning flag set to true. I use it from time to time, and have yet to see my bill reflect that I used "hotspot data".
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Does this not support f2fs anymore?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
Theoretically any ROM should support F2FS as long as you flash an F2FS compatible kernel such as Flash, Electron, or Franco.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Triscuit:
I believe you also need to add two commits into the rom to make it compatible as well, I could be wrong though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
I've seen this as well, but I've used F2FS on ROMs that have no mention of these two commits, such as Nitrogen, Unholy, and Resurrection Remix. Flash explained what they were for, but I can't remember or find his post at the moment.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
As long as my fstab has the F2FS lines added to it, then yes, it supports F2FS (along with a kernel with it enabled). But it's also stock, so it's not as stable as some of the source-built ROMs that have it patched up. I can't fix that on a stock, image-based ROM.

Also, ODP4 is out! I'll be tearing into that over the next week or two. Hopefully I can make a flashable zip from THAT build. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Triscuit:
Of course DP4 comes out the day I get rid of my 6P (not by choice) :( :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
lol, go figure! I still have mine. And after having the Pixel XL for a while, I'm a little torn now. I like the front facing speakers on the 6P, but the Pixel is lightyears ahead of the 6P in terms of GPU performance. BUT, my Pixel has a little burn in already from the home buttons. Almost want to go back to the 6P, but like the graphics performance of the Pixel. I'd likely go for the Pixel XL 2, but damn, close to release and NO real detail on its specs. AGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Triscuit:
I have gotten so spoiled having the front firing speakers, everything just sounds like crap now. I'd love to get the Essential PH1 but it does carry quite the price tag with it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jaKz9:
Hope we can have Pixel Features on DP4! :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Deadlights:
I was wondering if there was any way you could do a modified boot.img for us in the meantime that would disable forced encryption? :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'll look into that later this evening. Got a lot to do before I have time to sit and play. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
I second this, would be nice, thanks again!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
AGREE about front facing speakers!. My last 3 phones had them, it's almost a must now for me. A while back I picked up an S7 edge, was nice, but the speaker just didn't do it for me, I guess it wasn't necessarily bad, but comparing it to ff speakers of 6p, it was terrible, so I returned it. My next phone will have them, it's just one of those things, for me, now, I have to have them. And it stinks that makers of these phones are not valuing quality and more so placement of speakers.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
Just installed DP4 w/ magisk , man it is so much better than DP3, could be in my mind but seems to be running a lot snappier

Edit: Wow, better invest in a Portable Power Bank, stock kernel was brutal.

Running Elemental kernel, and clearing cache for Google Play, Google Services, and Google App helps tremendously.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] starfarer:
This is a very good ROM. I was on DU but annoyingly used to get very laggy after a day or two. Opening camera, apps or even fingerprint unlock used to take very long time. No problem with this ROM so far with uptime of 132hr and very snappy. Only thing is F2fs is not compatible as was not moving past google logo during initial boot. Yes I did try with other kernels. Looking forward to ODP4
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nighty:
the perfect ROM is back.

v12.00 - 7.1.2-N2G48B is the best 6P ROM ever.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] leaffan99:
wrong thread
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bubbler4343:
Is there a way to get more customization from this rom? I love the speaker tweaks but there's not a lot of customization
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
This is one of the few ROMs w/o all that tweak stuff which just drains battery, I use Cortex and between Nova Launcher, KWGT, and KWLP I got tons of customization, I am not a big fan of Substratum but you could throw that in to the mix too.

I even heard that Xposed for Nougat is out in a beta or unofficial capacity.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Working on a DP4 ROM. But it's taking a bit longer than I expected.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kero68:
Thank you. Cannot wait ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
Man I've been running that DP4 since release w/ stock and with Elemental kernel. Battery drain is real. I thought I had it beat but its just brutal, hopefully you find the culprit, I'm back chilling with some v12 Nougat.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Im running a manually debloated DP4 on my Pixel XL, and the battery life is actually stunning. At least for me. Don't know about the 6P as it's not currently my daily driver.

BTW, I've also been working on my Android Job Box script for a couple hours. Fixed quite a few things, namely the Backup and Restore functions. I'm going to look into a couple other things really quick, then probably make a release. Might be helpful if you like to jump ROMs, or want a convenient way to backup and restore your stuff.

Came into the thread and was surprised to find no dp4 version. Thanks for keeping us in on the progress! Can't wait.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Yeah. Feel like I'm falling behind. Cortex DP4 may or may not happen. Hopefully it does. It runs great on my Pixel XL.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
Did you debloat bunch of those google apps like play movie/books etc, thinking I could remove those google apps I do not want on phone, reduce down to basically a mini or pico style gapps. Maybe one of those apps is my issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
I take DP4 for O has a different radio(if so what version)? Can I use that on the latest 7.1.2?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxys:
Baseband is 3.84 and can be used with 7.1.2
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
What's the radio version? Is there a flashable version of both baseband and radio somewhere? I was not able to locate it. Thank you.

Chevy you should make a survey, how many people go from Cortex v12 7.1.2 to another rom and then back to Cortex in less than 24 hours, lol, the battery life is real folks, do not get it twisted, this might be the best rom out there in terms of sheer battery lasting power and ridiculously low idle battery usage, just sayin
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
No kidding right? :D I personally don't judge the success of a ROM (or kernel or whatever) based on how many "views" the thread has. Some people have 1mil+, some have several thousand at best. For me, I believe the best ROMs have low "view" counts. If it works like it should, then there would be no posts about complaints, or other broken things. If it's not working properly, than lost of people tend to post about it, and ask a million questions. Just the way I see it. :D

Time is very tight for me, and I feel like I missed a whole month of releases, but I'll be back on track here soon. Been busy practicing and making review videos on my YouTube channel. Drones have caught my interest, quite a bit. So I'm starting off small. But I have NOT forgotten about my ROM here. It's still being worked on, don't worry.

New video going up now. If you're curious, or want to dip your toes into the world of drones, this would be a good one to start with. Video is still uploading, and has about 2 hours left to go. Once it's up, the video will automatically be available to view. It's recorded in 1080p, so it might take a while for Google you get the video converted on their servers.

awaiting updates...thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
Hey Chevy, thought you might want to know and maybe this helps out when you tweaking your kernels.

I just re-installed stock DP4 last night, battery as expected was horrible. 84% battery and it said 3 hours left.

This morning I installed ElementalX kernel, before I never had changed the governor

- changed the governor to HawkTail v1.2,

- I am 76% battery 13hours left

- 4h 1m ago since full charge

- 1h 4m Screen On Time, full brightness, no adaptive

- no battery saver

- blue-tooth earbuds full time, AptX codec, 990kbps data rate

- mostly Facebook, tune-in, and one YouTube video 27 min long

- constant background app BBM, EX Kernel Manager battery info

EX Kernel Manager battery info - 76% 28°C, Active:18.54%hr Idle: 0.28%/hr

Of course this is not close to your stock Cortex v12 7.1.2, but it looks pretty good. I may not have Arise Viper but the blue-tooth data rate and AptX make up for that.

Few things, iv seen some that prefer dp4 battery life over 7.1.2 or similar. Second, I know fb is popular but I've simply stopped all together putting THAT app on any of my phones, been about 2 years now, I find other ways to use it if I must. Imo, the negatives outweigh the positives, and I've seen others go the same route. Just a thought Maybe you should consider.

Not that I prefer dp4 battery life over 7.1.2, I am just one of those flashaholics, always want to the latest shiny toy. :D

Where is the option to change the battery symbol to a percentage or to a number instead of the vertical battery symbol? On the nougat ROM version.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
Found this on the old web.

Here's how to get the battery percentage to display on stock Android:

Enable System UI Tuner. To do this, swipe down the Quick Settings panel and you'll see the settings gear icon at the top of the display. Press and hold this for a few seconds.

After a few seconds, the System UI Tuner will be enabled and will appear at the bottom of the settings menu. Once it's enabled, a spanner

It looks like O was released today.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sjancura:
Not the flashable factory images.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
Oh, I must have read it wrong then, cause I saw people say they were receiving OTA on their Pixels and assumed that we got a flashable too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] turboedm:
only thing flashable is this https://developer.android.com/about/versions/o/download.html
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
it is kind of flashable, just use Nexus Root Toolkit, download the OTA image, once you in bootloader mode and use flash stock button, just choose the "no wipe option, all your stuff will be intact.

You will only need to reinstall twrp and then your particular root flavor.

For me I flashed recovery separately under advanced tools, then once it was I done I already had the magisk zip file on phone, I flashed in twrp right after it was installed.

Two reboots and you get OREO gold. :cool:

Not sure about Elemental Kernel which is what I was using for DP4, that could jack stuff up big time, so I am waiting on that.

How is O for those running the OTA/rooted?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
running fine here, takes a few days to settle in, battery usage was insane at times, but once these latest updates have rolled out in play store for various apps , everything seems to be cool now

I am running Elemental X kernel with Glass Cannon profile loaded.

I would say before messing around too much, better download and save on phone SuperXe version of stock Oreo, so playing with stuff that will end in bootloop or trying out different kernels will not be a major pain in the ass, otherwise you will need to flash the whole damn thing with "no wipe option" in adb bootloader instead of being able to flash in TWRP while not necessarily at a desktop. Not a big fan of SuperXe but all we got right now. Pixel 2 XL can't get here fast enough.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Takiyon:
Will there be an update to the latest OTA?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Don't ask OTA's, I am sure he is working on it as all devs are currently.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] imnotkevin:
Could we have some sign of life on this thread? Haven't heard a single hiss from the dev since the eclipse. Just want to know basically if this ROM is more or less dead or not.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Hey I feel u, I def do, I'm one that will share that while I know these devs owe us zero, nothing, I would hope they would just make up a quick few second post simply letting users Kno that development will be ending, if that's the case, so we arent hanging on for weeks, sometimes months in here, wondering where the devs been and what will happen.

However, [MENTION=2545403]chevycam94[/MENTION] was very clear, his time was tight, he was on Vaca, he was doing other things, but the ROM was still going to be worked on, and not to worry.. Yes it's been over a month with no word, but based on what he's said in his last post, I have no reason to believe that Cortex on the 6p wont continue onto O.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
Shoot if you look at the Nexus 6P and the Pixel phones you see dev involvement down across the board. I think it's just time for PIXEL 2 phones, RIP 6P

Nexus 5X has more updated roms at this point. Even a full Pixel rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'm still here. Not nearly as much as I used to be. I'm working on getting my FAA part 107 certification, so I can potentially start a drone business, and fly for profit.

And to be brutally honest, for the amount of time I spent on Android, I haven't made a dime in several months. I'm at a point in my life where I really need to make money to pay bills and whatnot. I need to focus my time on money-making activities.

My 107 cert, expanding my new YouTube channel, new job, etc. I'm not abandoning Android completely, but my updates will be more broken than before.

Not many devs will tell you why they either quit making updates, out go so long without a peep. 99% of the time it's either family, or money.

I'll take a look at the 6P Oreo build, and see if I can make something from it. At least get you guys something current. Next Oreo update is the October patch.

hey Chevy, do your thing sir, paying bills and making a living are paramount especially these days, don't even trip, do you my brother, I can tell that the Drone piloting stuff is big $$$, we have a vendor contracted through GE, he was telling me about the drones they use, with thermal imaging cameras and companies pay some serious money $20k on up to get them to do fly-over.

I am sure I speak for all us Cortex users and flashoholics, Mad appreciation for all you have done, smooth ROM and killer battery, now go make that money.

Yes you are right about devs telling us why, some just disappear with no word after being active for months and months. So I really appreciate you coming to thread and telling it like it is. Whatever your plan is. You guys don't owe us that at all. Obv. But its really nice gesture. This way you don't have users coming in and out of the thread for months guessing where you are, what happened, if you'll ever be back, etc etc. So [MENTION=2545403]chevycam94[/MENTION] I thank you for just letting us know your plan man, whatever it may be.

I of course still hope youll continue, regardless if the updates are farther apart, however if you do decide to end it, I wish you the best in your new ventures and I thank you for being nice enough to share your work with us.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] glockman4519:
I have had messages like that as well, telling my that I should update to Oreo for a faster more secure experience but as stated in the post above mine, if you have a custom recovery, it will not flash. You have to be on a stock build of Android for the OTA from Google to work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
So after upgrading through all the DP versions of Oreo and then finally updating to the final release of Oreo (August Patch) , I have been running it for a few weeks, noticed it started become more janky to use. Delayed sms issues, frequent random reboots, keyboard problems, and some other strangeness. So last night I wiped the phone completely and installed the stock image of the September patch Oreo version. Phone seems to be a lot better, the few apps I was having trouble with working properly. I run Elemental X with GlassCannon profile. A.R.I.S.E. works flawlessly too.

I dropped this hear because I know people here were rocking the Cortex DP versions, I read somewhere that the final release leaves a lot of DP scraps on your phone during install. So a complete wipe is recommended.
