I'm not being an ass, just don't know what los has to do with me commenting on this ROM.

And yeah I was being an ass to him because its pretty silly to ask if a exploit is patched when the latest build was how long before it became mainstream it was an issue? Don't like strait forward posts that fail ooze an over excessive amount of emojis so you don't take it the wrong way? Do yourself and I a favor and block me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] liam8216:
A couple of hours after he asked his question like rage patched the KRACK. You were so quick to be an ass to the guy that simply asked a good question. That being said if lineage has patched it maybe cortex has done the same thing. I love Emojis. ??????????????????????
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
We were all thirteen once, I too used to enjoy them.

Edit: oh noes, fixed my typo
[Nexus 6P Android Development] liam8216:
I'm a lot older than 13. What is unused!!! ??️
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
This isn't built from source, it's based on a stock ROM image, so you won't find any source anywhere.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lion Man:
In this rom, is there a way to be able to see the bluetooth device battery level?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ELH305:
First time with cortex.. Love it.!

Hey, thanks for the ROM.

First time approaching it this way; vendor, root, and everything else already baked in..?

Smooth.

I just wanted to see if someone had advice for getting one particular app to jive with custom ROMs.

(In general)

Yours is not the first: AVIARY (super awesome photo editing app/Adobe owned and created) has a funky connection/setup/database..?

Between, the Adobe sign in, and the plethora of files you download from their store.

(Thinking that may be why it's so hard to sync with anything)

I suppose I could ask a different forum since mainly it's that one app that totally quites on me usually 3 uses in...

But, also this is the only ROM I've used with this setup.

(Hoping y'all would know best..?)

Appreciate any workaround; like should I find it as APK..?

Does this 'sesame shortcuts' app (new to Oreo also..?)

Create issues with an app like that..?

*Any advice from anyone, or extra little info y'all wanna drop on a newbie.. Go for it..!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jiggs82:
Hey does anyone have a flashable zip for BL.74 or .75 with .84 radio? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Maaan, looking to me like you need to learn for yourself how to make flashable zips, can't be that hard. Ever think of putting the effort in to learn? Or nah?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bobbaloo:
Actually, it never occurred to me either. Good idea.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
I seen him asking in multiple threads, seems he REALLY wants it, that's the only reason I recommended it to specifically him
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Filgaliel:
I'm currently running this. Do I just flash away?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] justin1221:
Yup
[Nexus 6P Android Development] speakeasy1:
I'd there a way to unroot this rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Yes, inside the SuperSU app, I believe it's near the bottom, is an option to fully unroot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mickyw1980:
Just trying this ROM out and must say it is the smoothest ROM I've tried as of yet. And battery life seems excellent. Only flashed yesterday,but seems really good. Good work dev keep it up, I'm staying here for a while
[Nexus 6P Android Development] galaxys:
Agree, this is my Daily Driver! :) :cool:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] suzook:
@OP, any plans to add some mods? Expanded desktop, center clock, batt percentage and such?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Filgaliel:
Shouldn't the icons be round?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
No, you that's a pixel launcher feature
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Some, yes. Haven't tried to add things like that to a prebuilt all for a long time. But I'm looking into it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] breadman2843:
After messing around with 7.1 with no Volte, no working assistant, etc, etc. Its great to be on a ROM where everything just works. This is by far the best option for the 6P. Super smooth and buttery compared to stock 7.1.1. No issues with Viper, and getting some unbelievable battery life with interactive profiles and ElementalX. The NX camera mod in the apps forum is a nice addition also, timed it against a Pixel XL today, and processed HDR just as fast. Used to enjoy your work with the OG, nice to see you are still at it. Just sent you a beer. Thanks for what you do.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ariefabuzaky:
What costum kernel do you use ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] breadman2843:
ElementalX, with their app from play store.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] lemacster:
Those of you reporting cmte themes working, how did you achieve that? I feel kind of dumb, but I can't find any traces of it..

Using a 6p and having no other issues with this room so far, seems to run really smooth!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] igylan:
CMTE on a stock build.? Im not even sure that will work. :p
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Tbh, as far as expanded desktop, no need for it to be baked in. Seen another post in another thread recommending Tiles app by Rascario.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] suzook:
Its not the same, with it baked in, you set it per app. Hoping for a 7.1.1 ROM with some customization.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
My mistake, apologies, did you figure it out?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ikenvape:
Absolutely great ROM! Love that you implemented so much, especially swiping gestures. Fluid, fast and stable. Not much because I'm unemployed but will send something your way.

Could someone help me understand something? OPR6 is where Oreo is at on Nexus 6p... but this ROM has build OPR5.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
OPR6 was for August and September. OPR5 is the latest October build. I don't understand why Google did it that way, but that's how it is.

Sim card problem

When I install the ROM the SIM card does not read.

how can I solve this problem
[Nexus 6P Android Development] imnotkevin:
read the last 5 pages through and all your questions shall be answered!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
List of possible solutions I've found:

Turn fingerprint/pincode security off and factory reset.

Turn encryption off and format user data before first boot.

Backup and completely wipe phone (inc. internal) factory flash any of latest Orea stock images.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] tikonux:
Just want some clarification here. To solve the SIM card issue, we set our phone on F2FS?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kenfly:
I'm having major issues with this rom

Most notable, I'll be watching a YT video with 50% battery left, then I'll get the red power saver bars and instantly get the "powering off" window, then a shutdown. Then when I power it back up, I'll still have roughly 46% battery.(just one example)

This behavior happens daily.

Oh and if I'm streaming BT audio to my headphones from a YT video (with the screen off) and I get a text message , turn on the screen to read it, then get an instant soft reboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Yep. Just need to get a little free time. Running it on my Pixel XL right now. Really like it. Nice changes.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DerGute:
Nope, I was on F2FS and got the SIM issue, then the F2FS fact caused the issue when installing Stock ROM, just wanted to mention that to warn others.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MCL1981:
Hi folks. I recently put Cortex on my Nexus 6P after using Pure and few others for a long time. I have some problem and questions.

First, I did a complete wipe of everything before installation. Totally clean slate.

I am experiencing a high rate of failure of certain aspects of the phone on boot. Sometimes the WiFi is inoperative. Sometimes the SIM card is inoperative. Sometimes the GPS location is inoperative. Sometimes the PIN code won't unlock the phone. Sometimes the fingerprint reader doesn't work. It is extremely frustrating that every time it boots up, I have to go through every function to see if everything is working.

Now, some things I've become accustomed to in most other roms, I'm having a hard time finding in this one.

Power button menu?

Screenshot and screen record?

Volume up/down to move cursor while typing?

Make screen not turn on when plugging/unplugging charger?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Well, if you look at the op, it states the features. Spoiler alert, this is bascially stock.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MCL1981:
Gee, that's super helpful, thanks. I'm not complaining. I'm asking if it's somewhere in this ROM that I haven't found yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Pawan Arora:
Stuck in bootloop after flashing this rom

Hi, I'm stuck in bootloop after flashing this rom. I did flash the bootloader, vendor and radio images with the specified version, before flashing the rom, but still I'm not stuck in bootloop. Has anyone encountered this problem?

I even wiped the internal storage to get rid of from this problem, but still no success. I was earlier in android 7.1.2.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] imnotkevin:
1.You can easily use the Nexus Root Tool kit to (unroot &) flash the OTA 8.0. (this will fully wipe the device as well)

2.Boot the device once.

3.Fastboot flash TWRP. (Flash TWRP again through TWPR this has been just my noob move to make sure it stays there)

4.Then from USB OTG flash Cortex

5.Whipe Dalvic/Catche and enjoy this lovely ROM.

I'm no expert but always got my device running smooth :)

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Before you get into the Oreo game should completely wipe your phone and flash stock 8.0 firmware. Also make sure you are flashing the latest update from Magisk or SuperSU if rooting.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] imnotkevin:
This ROM comes prerooted with Magisk though so no need to separately do that :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] driss.sadok:
Thanks ;) hope someone will find a solution.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Face_Plant:
In case you can't tell, he was being sarcastic...

If you want help, you need to be more specific. What exactly isn't working?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] k1ll3ry0:
Extremely interesting because I've had it installed since the October 15th update and it all works swimmingly. Perfect applications, awesome battery life with ElementalX. I would recommend you go full stock install, then proceed with another installation. Very bizarre, what were you coming from?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matique:
Does anyone have any problem applying subs themes? Latest Oreo build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Napa7m:
No problems here, everything works great (I don't use themes, can't comment on that).

Cortex once again rejuvenated my aging N6p, now it can hold me over for a few more weeks until Pixel 2 XL shows up.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] prozo:
Same here, after placing the 6P into stock Oreo and flashing the ROM, it's almost like the ROM was built and packaged incomplete. I have multiple APKs failing to even load, install, or labeled correctly. I would have taken a picture but the phone itself couldn't even screenshot. Apps just kept crashing, decided to flash back into Oreo.

CortexROM is still amazing, I think either I did something wrong or this is needs to be looked into...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MCL1981:
Reinstalling stock would make no sense since step one of Cortex is a complete wipe of everything anyway.

Is there recommended kernel for this that I can install?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] trim81:
You can try another vendor image but for me,in these rare cases, I would load up WUG toolkit and go bone stock and start over
[Nexus 6P Android Development] k1ll3ry0:
ElementalX on GlassCannon works swimmingly.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Restore your backup you made before you installed it, or, dirty flash the rom again.

Project Fi Compatible?

Hey there, I'm heading from the USA to Canada in early December. Wanted to know if this has compatibility with Project Fi?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] matique:
I thought pixel mod was prebaked into the rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] k1ll3ry0:
It is, that previous remedy is incorrect. This ROM isn't compatible with Substratum at this time because of the Baked-In PixelMod but it still functions beautifully and the stock appearance is growing on me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 1959guy:
Enjoying this because it works!

Was on a different ROM but too many bugs.

Can you include led charge indicator?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lion Man:
Can we dirty flash the 15.1 over the 15.01 version? If so what do we wipe and what not to wipe
[Nexus 6P Android Development] imnotkevin:
It was suggested to do a clean flash for the 15.10 due to the new launcher!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I haven't used this ROM in a while because I upgraded to a Pixel XL which I never liked and then to a One Plus 5 which has great hardware specs and easily the worst build quality of any phone I have ever owned. Since my OP5 is in RMA I had to pull my 6P out of retirement. I want to thank the dev for making such a fast and smooth ROM. I'm not even in a huge hurry to get my OP5 back after flashing Cortex Oreo. :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] stevegyds:
Project Fi works just fine with this ROM.. No issues.

Running Cortex with ElementalEx Governor. I've tried Glass Fish, Glass Canon and Hawktail and I'm currently using Dark Spice. What profile would people recommend for smoothest performance? I'm more concerned with smooth performance for normal phone operations (I don't do anything CPU intensive) than in maximizing battery life.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CPUapprentice:
great rom

i flashed this rom and recently received a system security update for 11/2017 its 41.1 mb. should i accept this update yes or no. please advise
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SkoT7e:
I was wondering the same thing ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
The short answer is no do not install the security update.

You probably got the notification because Cortex is a stock based ROM. But it isn't stock Oreo. Cortex has been modified and is a custom ROM so unless the dev says otherwise you should not install OTA updates. As far as I know the dev needs to create a new build of Cortex that incorporates the security update for it to be compatible with the ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Is always been said not to update when your on a custom stock ROM. I'm sure the dev will add this update soon.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] stappernn:
also the update will fail since you probably have a custom recovery
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dvize:
I'm pretty sure there is an issue with my TMO nexus 6p and the OCT 15th version of this ROM. Did a full wipe to Stock October Security Release (proper bootloader, vendor, and radio), flashed twrp, and then ran the install zip. I did this twice and each time, android does not detect a sim card. However, on stock bootup, the sim card is just fine (which is needed to restore backup from cloud since i have two factor authentication enabled).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I have MintSim which uses TMO as the carrier and the latest version of Cortex recognizes my SIM fine and works perfectly on the network . You might want to try powering down your Nexus 6P, removing the SIM card and then booting up into Cortex with no SIM inserted. Then power down again, insert the SIM and power up again. I've had that help in the past if an Android phone wasn't recognizing that a SIM was inserted. If that doesn't work I would go into the network settings and see if anything looks strange. I'm not sure why a TMO SIM card would specifically be incompatible with any ROM if other SIM cards work fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
There is multiple posts on how to fix the no sim error. Flashing stock 8.0, formating user data, turning off encryption, turning off pin lock before flashing. I believe wiping and flashing stock Android 8 first is the best solution.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I believe he said he flashed the stock image before flashing Cortex. I wasn't aware the sim not being recognized was an ongoing issue with Cortex. I was under the impression it had been fixed. I didn't have to do any of those things but maybe it is a problem with some SIMs but not others.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

One more thing--to be safe I would verify that you are running the specific bootloader and radio builds mentioned in the OP--especially the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] falseman:
I'm changing roms. and this one looks the most basic 8.0.0 for me.

This is also my first time in this thread.

I couldnt really find anything quick.

but let me ask in here:

- are there problems that users often encounter?

- any not (yet) fixed bugs?

- do i miss anything in comparison to the stock 8.0.0?

- anything i should be aware of?

- how do i check the version of my radio and bootloader?

- where do i find the updated files for my radio and bootloader?

- any prefered kernels with this rom?

- any prefered mods with this rom?

- what is your opinion about this rom and why?

i guess a lot of you would ignore this. but it would be amazing if some of you can help me out with my questions. It could be that its posted somewhere in the thread but i couldnt find anything usefull and there are also some personal questions for the community.

i also couldnt find any FAQ's... :(

Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Just do a back up and try it will ya, and get the answers yourself, first hand, instead of waiting around for others to reply. The time you took to write up this big post, you could have ALREADY backed up and DL, flashed it and found out some of the things you were wondering..

Will tell u one thing, this has NOT been updated(for at least a few months I think)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/0joouy2apwbzj2b/BL377+Radio384.zip

You can get a flashable zip of the latest versions of the bootloader and radio from the above link which came from a different thread on XDA. You just flash the zip in recovery and you should be good to go.

I like the ElementalEx Kernel with this ROM because there are more options for tweaking than on the stock kernel--more governors and a lot of built in interactive governor profiles to play with.

I haven't encountered any significant bugs or instability on this ROM. Occasionally I would need to reboot if there seemed to be a weird hang or something but that's about it.

Substratum is not currently compatible with this ROM.

You will get better battery life, performance and a safer running temperature with this ROM over stock Oreo, especially if you use a custom kernel like ElementalEx, switch to interactive governor and find a profile you like. Google stock tends to run the 6P at temperatures that suggest they are trying to burn out these phones. To be fair they do the same thing with the Pixel and Pixel XL and are burning out those phones in great numbers as well--but you aren't likely to read anything about that on XDA which has never provided accurate information about the hardware issues on the Pixel phones.

I would definitely recommend this ROM. I was running the final official Nougat build of Dirty Unicorns which is a very good ROM but flashing Cortex Oreo resulted in a noticeable improvement in phone performance.

Good luck.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Another way to always get the latest bootloader and zip if a flashable zip isn't available or you don't want to go that route is to download the latest factory image from Google and extract it on a computer. The bootloader and radio are in the factory image. You find those two files, copy and paste them to the directory on your computer where fastboot and abd are located and flash them to your device using your computer. There's probably a thread on XDA where you can find the updated files as well if you look for it.
