Sorry for the absence. I've been working 7 days a week recently. Just over 70 hours a week. I'm too tired to do anything by the time I get home.

But I have an idea what's causing the battery drain issues. I'll look into it more once I finish setting up my new laptop. (Acer Predator G9-793-78CM, with an SSD as my secondary drive, and upgraded to 32GB RAM (max 64GB)). I know a few of you have asked me before what my specs were.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] crking1980:
No need to apologize. We appreciate everything that you do.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ChemicalCrunch:
No rush! We all appreciate what you are doing, cortex has been wonderful so far!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Cortex is honestly the only reason I don't stay on stock. I've tried a number of custom roms and the only one I've stuck with is Cortex. I just think it's a shame the rom isn't better known.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
Any reason I should not take this system update?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Some people are complaining about battery drain on the Feb build. It also creates wonky kernel settings by default. In my case I can't get all of my kernel settings to survive a reboot. The camera won't work unless you flash the Camera NX apk. I would stick with the January build, personally.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
What's the most commonly used method of disabling the system update notifications? I noticed there are several methods.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Are you on Cortex or stock? If you are on a custom rom you shouldn't be getting notifications to update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I tried Franco's Kernel for a day. It made me hate my phone. I had the profile set to "balanced' but the phone was still noticeably laggy compared with either the stock kernel or Elemental Ex Kernel. Four cores were offline for the entire 24 hours that the kernel was installed and, going through the myriad of settings in the FC Control App, I couldn't figure out any way to turn them on. Yes, my battery life was improved with Franco's Kernel but I felt like I was using a hundred dollar budget phone. I had a similar experience a couple years ago when I tried Franco's Kernel on a different phone but decided to give it a try again since I keep reading positive posts from people who use it. I guess you have to decide which is more important to you--great battery life or a phone that works great. You only get one with Franco's Kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
I'm on cortex and getting the 2017-02 patch update notification.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
That's strange. I've never gotten an Android update notification while I was on a custom ROM. Are you on Verizon?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
Yes I am on Verizon.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Do you have automatic updates turned off in developer settings?

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
I do now. Before that I blocked notifications in google systems framework. Can I unblock that now? Or does it matter?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Grassinator:
Very odd... Are you using FK Manager AKA Franco Kernel Updater to manage his kernel? I have been using his kernels since my OG Droid, have always experienced excellence.

35hrs uptime for me right now and battery is still at 35%.

He implemented an amazing function called "Naptime" into his kernel which you definitely wanna utilize.

Don't wanna clog the thread with kernel tweaks/settings... Blah.

Please feel free to PM me and I'll gladly discuss this with you further
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I used the paid version of FK Manager. If you've been using his kernels forever you probably don't notice the performance lag his kernel creates. I'm not even talking about using apps. Simply swiping into the app drawer or going through settings was slower and everything was less responsive than on stock kernel. It was like my phone had been sedated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
Wow. I'm still getting the system update notification. Why am I the only one? I'm confused.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
I received it until I updated to 5.0 yesterday. Haven't seen it since.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

I noticed this as well. There are definitely moments where it performs great, but I do run into sluggishness for sure.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Not sure why you are the only one but for Feb Android created a Verizon only OTA which the dev didn't use to create Cortex. I figured Verizon thought you were on stock and was trying to push the Verizon specific update to your phone. Verizon is more controlling than other carriers. Just out of curiosity, does your phone function without any problems on the Feb build of Cortex or are you still on January?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
Still on January and its functioning fine. I generally like to wait a while before flashing ROM updates and let the bugs get worked out.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I don't really have problems charging during the day so I would rather not sacrifice performance for better battery life. But if you need the phone to run for a long time on a charge I can understand it might be worth the trade off.

I also tried Franco's Naptime but it wasn't for me. It definitely extends battery life but I had to exclude a lot of apps from power saving because Naptime kills everything when the screen is off. I finally decided I preferred to have my phone function as intended to squeezing more time out of my battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
yeah i'm starting to lean that way too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
A bunch of people on another rom got Google notifications to update too. Don't know why for sure. Never heard of that happening when you are on a custom rom before.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Question for the dev: I'm assuming this is an issue with the Google image but I thought I would ask anyway. Any idea what's causing the wonky kernel behavior on the Feb build? The kernel (I've tried three) defaults to only running 4 cores. I also can't get some of the kernel settings changes that I make to survive a reboot, which is an issue I have never encountered before.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
I know you said question for the dev but I figure you would have a new phone by then, lol, I'm on flash kernel using ex kernel manager, I loaded in couple profiles and they have been sticking. I'm on the HawkTail 6P profile, battery life and performance is kinda nice. Shame it seems this phone is falling out of favor fast. I still get ROM updates for Galaxy S2.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I haven't tried flash kernel. I'm using ElementalEx Kernel with Ex kernel manager. Every time I boot my large core governor has reverted to on demand and I have to switch it to interactive. Other people using the same kernel have said their settings are surviving a reboot, so maybe I'm doing something wrong without realizing it. It took several boots to get the other settings to survive a reboot but the governor setting for the large core never does. Normally after a rom update I don't need to screw with the kernel settings at all because the ElementalEx app retains them, but Feb update was different and the kernel defaulted to strange settings I would never use. Hexacore mode was enabled so half the cores were offline and other half were running at Max frequency.

I'm honestly thinking about moving on from the 6P myself and just keeping it as a backup and for WiFi calling. I don't trust the phone long term because too many people are having boot loop issues and I've had some problems as well. Updating Cortex has twice put me into boot loops so serious I had to flash the stock image and start over. I've also never successfully restored a Nandroid backup on this phone. Never had that problem with any other phone I rooted. I've also never had a phone break so if the 6P goes into a boot loop I can't get out of it will be the first.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
yeah i have read about people having issues, I guess so far I am lucky and have not had any issues, I am moving on from 6P as well, I do think it would be great to run Kali Nethunter though, nice and compact device for pentesting, only reason I got Nexus phone was because ROMs were updated along with monthly patches from google, looking through forum that is not the case lately. I just read the even Tupac4u will not longer update the Stock debloated rom for 6P. I am just waiting for new 2017 devices.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Sorry again guys. I made a booboo when changing a couple security settings and accidentally corrupted my drive. Reinstalling to factory now. Once everything is back up and running, I'll take another look into an attempt at fixing the issues with the February patch. Of course, by that time, the March patch might already be out! ?

FYI, this is my new baby..... http://steelroms.com/about.html

Anybody hear any recent news regarding the status of the Angler 7.1.2 beta? This is getting to be stupid.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eqbirvin:
lmao i thought you actually had a new baby human for a sec
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Shemploo:
I'm trying to understand your post, are you doing something to make this ROM work with Magisk?

I'm interested in using Magisk and trying this ROM, so I'm very interested in what it is you're talking about here.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
The issue was that my secondary installers weren't actually installing. He was just mentioning that he found out why, and what the fix would be. He had to make the same change to his Magisk installer. That's all. Everything should be good to go now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] italbomber:
Acer machines are so underrated. I have had 4 and only had one issue with a screen in the 13th Month. I called customer service and the guy was easy to understand and backdated the warranty and replaced the screen for free except shipping to them. What more can I ask for. That Predator is. Phenomenal setup. Good luck.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Damn right it is! ?. Heck, I can run Crisis 3 on max settings and still average 58fps. Not bad at all. But the dual M.2 cards in Raid0 make my VMs and other ROM-related tasks about 25% faster than my old Predator. Can't wait to get a hold of a new Samsung 960 EVO. O...M...G. lol

I'm almost done setting it up. Going to take it with to work tomorrow and finish up what I can. I'll look into some ROM fixes for 5.00 tomorrow night. Can't promise it'll fix everybody's issues, but I'll try to do what I can.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
I'm on NUF26K, if I would try this ROM, will I need to downgrade to N4F26O before flashing this ROM?

Also; For those of you that have tried both Megapixel ROM and this ROM, what is the difference between them?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
yea man, I would love to know also. Megapixel has been the most stable rom I've ever used the only thing that is holding me back is that megapixel rom is not updated. Im currently using PN
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
You don't upgrade or downgrade. My ROM isn't flashed over top of a factory image. You just wipe system/data/cache/dalvik, and flash my ROM. And no need to mess with vendor, as it's included in my ROM zip already.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Yea, it seems dead.. I never got Google now to work there either with the upcoming tab, and that's something I use a lot, so that and also lack of updates is a disappointment.

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Thanks. I forgot mention I'm on a custom ROM already (PN).

Isn't it a rule to not flash custom ROM over another custom ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Your actually not "flashing over another custom rom" if you properly wipe data, system ,dalvik, and cache before flashing the new rom. If you were not to wipe, and then tried flashing a new rom....then you will have problems.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Are Google now fully working with the "upcoming" tab?

I have been told that's Google related, but after going back and forward between ROM, some ROM simply don't get this working even with updated Google.

Can anyone confirm?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170221
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Thanks. You have two feeds then, one "normal" and the new upcoming?

I never got that on MP ROM for some reason.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
I'm on Cortex and don't have an upcoming tab, is a forthcoming update or something that should already be there?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Yes there's normal and upcoming feeds. Dr appointment is showing up now as upcoming.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sandnes74:
Two questions;

1.What happened With the unlimited photo Storage?

2.Under Device info,is the phone called Pixel XL or Nexus 6P on this ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] justin1221:
Both questions are already answered in the thread.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Wozdoesitbest:
No whats happening to it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
If you want unlimited photos back you need to change one line in the build prop and reboot phone. Ro product manufacturer should be changed from Huawei to Google. You will lose the cameras hdr+ function of you do this. Device shows up as Pixel because that's necessary for Google Assistant to work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone can upload the media files from this ROM for me? (Ringtones and notification)

TYIA
[Nexus 6P Android Development] OneNutShort:
I believe what he's referring to is that nothing seems to be happening. We have a nexus device, but the moment the pixel came out it became a red headed stepchild, and is now getting neglected.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nighty:
Hi Mikey

http://ul.to/j1gq4ujy

the full Media Folder from the Cortex 5.0 ROM..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Wozdoesitbest:
I seen on twitter that a developer twitter said the 6Ps end of life has come & passed witch is sad this phone is a beast at least we have some great developers supporting this phone for now anyway
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
It seems like some developers have abandoned the 6P. It also seems like Google is running out the clock on the warranty for the 6P in the hope that the boot loop of death occurs after the warranty has expired and that people will buy a Pixel when it does. Google has repeatedly, emphatically claimed that all major issues with the 6P are hardware related. If that's the case why hasn't Google recalled the affected phones? They don't even offer a discount on a Pixel if your 6P turns into an expensive paperweight after one year. I was thinking about getting a Pixel but after seeing Google throw Nexus users under the bus I really don't feel like giving them any more money.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evolver10:
It really is amazing how fast the discussions can change. One day all you read is what a beast the 6 and 6p are and how the user is never letting go of it. All of a sudden the Nexus is being abandoned. The BOD talk does make me a bit nervous and therefore have started contemplating my next phone. For now though I'm still enjoying this great ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I agree but I'm still planning for the worst if this phone doesn't last. I honestly never even thought that way about any other phone I've ever owned. But when you read the threads dedicated to the BOD it's hard not to get a little fatalistic.

7.1.2 Update

Anyone else just get a 7.1.2 update notification?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] reverex:
I did, should install it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Grassinator:
Hold off at the moment. This just dropped, and there's not too much that has been released on it at present. We don't wanna lose root or any other potential problems. Let me look into this further and report back
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Grassinator:
No Command

Phone will not boot -- DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE

Have deleted Cache / Dalvik / Art as well -- NO GOOD

Will investigate further and post if/when I discover anything more
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Are you talking about this rom or beta 7.1.2?

Cortex boots fine and runs great on my end. Using flash kernel and arise 2.84. All systems go. :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Grassinator:
The 7.1.2 beta of course, See my previous post. Cortex is KING! :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nighty:
disable beta Program and the problem is solved.

i dont now why but i was enabled for the pixel beta program, after disable ... the notification is history
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
I did. Installing it boot looped my phone, which wasn't exactly a surprise. I'm currently on stock 7.1.2 without root. I don't notice any new features or anything. Battery life is good idle but poor if you are actually using phone. Might stay on stock for a little while before rooting and installing Cortex again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Back on Cortex. Phone just isn't the same on stock. But I installed the January build. No more wonky kernel settings and much better battery life. Hopefully March will turn out better but I won't be an early adopter this time.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
I think I will do the same, my phone is stuck in hexacore mode for some reason, just started out of nowhere.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] reverex:
[MENTION=2545403]chevycam94[/MENTION] ohh dear sir did you forget about us and our power monger 6ps
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Hopefully the problems will be fixed in the March build but I wouldn't expect an update before then. And 7.1.2 was pretty power hungry itself, so there might not be much the dev can do since the rom is based on Google's factory images. I think Google may be screwing with 6P owners in an attempt to get them to abandon this phone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Lol. No, I didn't. Just waiting for the March security patch. To many complaints to bother updating v5.00. Try again with v6.00.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
Will you still do it Pixel-ized, or does the news that google assistant will be rolling out to more devices change things?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Yes, still pixelized. Same great feel. ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] reverex:
Do you guys think it's worth buying a new screen replacement for the Nexus 6p or just get a new 6p. Or try to play the warranty and see if they will give me a refurbished phone. My phone dropped and has a crack at the lower left corner and it's irking me...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
It depends on how much it would cost. You might be able to get warranty service at a Huawei Service Center (they use retail phone repair outlets) which would probably allow you to keep your current phone. But a cracked screen might not be covered under the normal warranty. Usually you have to purchase an enhanced warranty to get accident protection.

[MENTION=2545403]chevycam94[/MENTION] can i restore my data partition from v5 to v4 or thats a no no!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Honestly not sure. But likely a no-go.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
I know this rom has built in ad-blocker, but how do I whitelist certain sites? I did see anything specific in Chrome, and tried to it in TugaBrowser, but no dice there. Thank you

I am on cortex 4.0 and I am still getting miscellaneous drains in the high 30% help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Gotta be a rougue app
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jhs39:
Install an app like GSam that will show you what is draining your battery. It could be so many things--a badly programmed app, sync problems, poor signal. Are you talking about idle drain overnight?

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

Then an app like Servicely or Greenify can help you control services or apps that are draining your battery.

Is it possible to get the playstore to think we have a Pixel to get the HDR update in LR Mobie to work? http://www.droid-life.com/2017/03/06/lightroom-hdr/
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
I'm looking into it right now. Also working on v6.00 as we speak.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ossito2012:
I seen this out there on the old interwebs.

"Edit build.prop file: Add the ro.opa.eligible_device=true line to end of build.prop file on your Android device. And change the value of ro.product.model entry to Pixel such that it looks like this: ro.product.model=Pixel."

Save & reboot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
So far, I have not been able to get this to work. I'll try a few more things, but if I cant, then your SOL (for now). :p

UPDATE: I have tried everything I can think of. It still doesnt accept HDR capture. It must be polling some other settings or something. Looks like a straight build.prop edit, and/or adding the nexus.xml to /system/etc/sysconfig, wont cut it. Just have to wait for Adobe to add more phones to the support list.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Uploading v6.00 right now. Not a HUGE changelog, but hopefully this fixes most of the issues that plagued v5.00 for some of you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigsnack:
Yeah I ran into the same issue of it not working. I deleted the app, updated build prop, rebooted then re-installed the app. Chevy were you able to solve it, or did you run into the same issue still? Thank you for all the work btw.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Nope, couldnt get it to work. Its a nice idea, but I think I'll wait until there is official support.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] chevycam94:
Enjoy v6.00!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tomv5314:
Did any one last month on Verizon have any problem not using the fragmented (Verizon ) update version. I do not remember as I put on Cortex and almost immediately went back to January cause of problem, I am a little fuzzy cause I have been battling somewhat severe Pneumonia. What I am asking IS there a easy whey of just adding the Verizon radio or whatever difference on top of this? Sorry if this is a combo semi-noob and fever delusional. question. lol:

Why not download 1.2? It has fixes. lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] king3opobn:
Does this rom have the ability in settings to swap back button with recents button ?

If not, does anybody know of a root app that will do it for me?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] justin1221:
Boot animation worked fine, and I logged into Snapchat after flashing root. really liking this ROM so far.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] justin1221:
Yes, enable system tuner.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] justin1221:
Sorry for a post but I seem to everything working. If your having problems, it's probably user error. I have root, AdAway, arise, Snapchat, substratum, nx camera. Everything I use daily is working great. Thanks Chevy.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] joethinksblue:
I dnt see how it can be user error when all you do is to wipe everything and flash a zip.. and for all to post the same issues (root and no boot animation) i highly doubt its a user error..
