[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mystifiyer:
I'm really curious how do you guys handle all the wakelocks (events, alarm, launch) sprinkled all over this ROM?

Those wakelocks drain quite a bit of battery.

Interestingly, in my quest to find out previously if it was the ROM or my apps that was causing the issue, I followed the steps below.

1) Wipe /system, /data, /cache and /data

2) adb push the latest weekly rom and gapps (Banks or otherwise; doesn't matter at this point)

3) Install and reboot

With a clean slate, I noticed the wakelocks straight away in less than 10 mins idle.

I tried the same steps again but without the GAPPS this time. No wakelocks after more than 30mins (Just to be cleared, still in clean slate without any apps installed; just go through the initial setup process).

I tried with different variations of GAPPS (Bank's, DU's and OpenGapps'). All have the wakelocks (*launch* and *alarms*) in particular.

I have also played around with the built in wakelock blocker and Amplify. Neither helps much.

Pray tell, what's the secret sauce to reduce those wakelocks?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
I don't really pay attention to wakelocks unless I notice unusual battery drain. I take my phone off the charger at night and use it as an alarm clock. I always wake up 7-8 hours later with 97-98% battery left. I use PN's Dynamic Gapps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Btw. If anyone's interested as to why the first weeklys were pulled:

There was a repo sync error which is why everyone was getting a fc when dirty flashing.

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
For me, the *launch* and *alarm* wakelocks don't actually cause any drain. They show up in BBS but I can't see their effect in the battery graph, leading me to believe they don't matter. The built in wakelock blocker handles them just fine for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
I checked them in the DU wakelock blocker and found I got worse drain. I just leave everything default and get 5-6 hrs SOT. I put it in airplane mode wifi off at night and get zero drop in 8 hrs. at night.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] smac0628:
I recently stopped using Google Keep and have seen my normal battery usage return.

I average 5+ hours of SOT. That's with mostly browsing, e-mail, and some phone.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] acheney1990:
You mean this? I keep getting this issue with half the screen going black...on regular home screen and lock screen.

No themes BTW and clean install.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mystifiyer:
Thanks for the reply.

Frankly, I am just very perplexed why the installation of those tested GAPPS will cause this phenomenon when without them, DU sleeps really really well.

Perhaps I should try PN's GAPPS as well. Maybe one of them might show some difference then perhaps the devs or whoever can work something out.

I will measure my overnight drain as per your advice.

Thank you once again

Actually I would love to write these off as nothing more than a cosmetic issue as many of the other posts in both XDA and DU G+ seemed to suggest. There is an insane amount of wakelocks (hundreds and thousands of them per hour) but the impact on the battery seemed to be minimal at best or negligible.

It's a bit like a dead screen pixel situation for me. Some people will just brush it off and avoid looking at that area. Others like me, "what's seen cannot be unseen" and the thought of that tiny inconspicuous pixel will nag at every thought.

I will try to investigate a little further before giving up entirely. It's a good thing to have a Nexus; I have alternatives.

Thank you for your kind advice and reply.

Have a good day ahead.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Must be the launcher. I've never seen that with Total Launcher.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] acheney1990:
Would launcher effect the lock screen too though?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Possibly. I set my lswp with my launcher. You don't set a different dpi do you?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
This happened to me. Solved it by applying a theme and rebooted then removing the theme.

I'm using Nova launcher by the way.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
I'm using Nova Launcher as well and I never had this issue on any build. I'm also using blacked out // regression+ theme actually.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] d08speed3:
Yea this!!!! Drives me nuts lol
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
I use Keep, not daily, but I use it. And I get great battery life on this ROM. Like I've said earlier, I take it off the charger before bed and rarely lose over 3% at night.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
I use keep as well and get great battery life.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] winsucker:
I have flashed last weekly and everything has gone to hell.

Phone is stuck on boot-loop even if I restore any of my backups. I have also tryed wiping everything but storage partition and reinstalling ROMs that way - no luck. I am not at home, so I can't use ADB since i only have my charging cable. Any idea of how to fix this? And why it happened?

A month ago I had a similar problem, but all my applications were crashing. Everything worked fine after complete ADB reinstall.

Could I have curpoted my NAND? I have 128GB one, with enabled encryption if that matters.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] doki81:
clean or dirty flash? i think DU cant be dirty flash as it's very risky..better clean flash everytime..
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] winsucker:
Dirty.

Ok - good to know.. but why does even my backups loop out?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] raspdeep:
Pls keep us informed and if you have found a fix
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] D-m-x:
According to the Bug Report this should be fixed http://jira.dirtyunicorns.com/browse/MAR-28
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] owngaurav:
Sorry for the question.. But since Fling and DU Navigation is open source.. Can anyone suggest layer based rom with DU features? Sorry again for this question
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] :
If it has no effect, why do you need to go Charles Manson on it. And its not like a dead pixel - you are searching for an issue. Like you said, "It's a good thing to have a Nexus; I have alternatives." So go. Or, if you want to actually help development, post in Jira instead of whining here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
Not true. I've dirty flashed every update of DU with no problems..... -except- this last one. Even after the weeklies were removed and re-released, dirty flashing is still a no go. I got persistent, non-ending system ui and phone FCs. Restored backup and all is well. Will clean flash when I have time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
I believe Pure Nexus layers version is as close as it gets.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pro4ever:
Awesome rom flashed the weekly on friday 1st one before it was pulled :D
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
I agree, as long as there is no base upgrades done dirty flash should be ok on all roms.

I have been dirty flashing DU since first using it.

Only times I have had any issues resulting form the dirty flash is this weeks nightlie.

Most issues are caused by kernels/xposed/bad apps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Because DU uses layers?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
PureNexus will eventually get fling and pulse, but not yet. I haven't used it, but from reading the thread I saw that Resurrection rom has all the bells and whistles. Pretty bloated though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] setul34:
Unfortunately it's not fixed in latest weekly (25 march). its not launcher or theme coz after i clean flash the latest weekly; i keep all the settings default (no theme no launcher) and still have that problem

Next update might fix that problem
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] winsucker:
Ok. So, anybody have a clue why my backups aren't working? What kind of NAND flash test could I do to know if I got corrupted chip? Or am I just using my phone wrong in some way? Like not disabling encryption and running highly modified ROMs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
You need to disable security locks before doing nand.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Is there a feature list for this rom? I clicked changelog but nothing there regarding actual features. Didn't see anything on the DU Google+ page either. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] winsucker:
Thanks! I will look into it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Their Github and their Gerrit (merged commits) serve as the changelog.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Thanks but I'm looking for what actual features are in the ROM. I did click those links you posted and maybe they're hidden in the code, but I don't see anything like a feature list.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Well you can check the commit list (go into a repo like frameworks_base and click on the Commits tab) where the titles will tell you what the commit does. Other than that, there is not a features list and they most likely won't make one as they will just tell you to flash and find out.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Okay sounds good. Feature wise, pretty on par with the other popular roms? Just confused why this is in original Android development, and what makes it different. I did see that is aosp which is good. Just wanted to make sure I'm flashing the kind of rom I think I am lol
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Fling, Pulse, smart bar just to name a few, all original features.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
This ROM has tons of features. Here are some screenshots of the options I took. I'm not going into every single section of course, names are enough to understand. If you want to see everything by yourself, just flash the rom or if you're too lazy to do so, watch some videos reviews on YouTube. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Thanks guys. Those screenshots sold me! Definitely give it a go. Just asked to join the G+ community as well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Yeah, the navigation panel is what sold me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] adamo86:
There are two different versions of banks what's the difference
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Been running stock + cata for awhile and never upgraded vendor in Feb. to Q. I assume I'd have to upgrade my vendor first?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gagan_Singh:
No Difference.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
Correct
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Stephenparrigin:
Just wanted to say thanks to [MENTION=6168320]smac0628[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1289361]Mazda[/MENTION] for bringing us this amazing piece of work. Ran the test builds for a while and was very pleased with my very first DU experience!

Edit: Guess I should also thank the entire DU Team also! Sorry I missed you guys the first time.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
They are two parts of a talented team of developers who all got together to make this great rom. Where is [MENTION=470268]bigrushdog[/MENTION] in hiding lol...
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ploopower79:
Yes I have T-Mobile in Houston, Tx and it works for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] heleos:
It's fun to see all the matching avatars between xda and g+!

I have an issue, which I don't think is a rom issue, as I think I've seen it in other roms, but wondering if anyone else has seen it or knows a fix.

Settings search seems inconsistent. Right now, if I search "default" to get to the default app setting, search doesn't find anything. On the previous test version of du, it did work, but I also remember it sometimes not working between versions.

This was a clean flash last night. The only thing I can think of was I chose to restore apps instead of new device during setup
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
I just tested the word default and it works just fine, re-flash and don't restore.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chefthomas99:
Top notch ROM! ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dreddge:
Angler User on the official release. Having an issue with calendar storage. Tried to reflash, cleared data and cache on calendar storage and calendar. Any help would be appreciated. Also receiving some odd behavior from play services.

This was a clean flash. Did not restore from google.

Which gapps did you use banks 2-27 version?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Fentadroid:
I guess android pay doesn't work, right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, CMTE breaks Android Pay.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dreddge:

[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Mazda:
I replied to you in the G+ community bud
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dreddge:
Gotcha. Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
I recommend reflashing rom and using banks 2-27 gapps and see if you still have the issues. I use those gapps and have zero issues.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] slipmeknot:
Can someone kindly share md5 of the official release? Thanks :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
It's in the official folder right under the ROM download, did you not see it?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] st0nec01d:
[ROM] Dirty Unicorns v10.0 Official 6.0.1 {Angler} (03/01/16)

I had the exact same problem. Wouldn't boot, backup wouldn't boot, installing an older version wouldn't boot (even tried flashing latest vendor via twrp with no luck on all these attempts). Just kept boot looping the boot animation. Eventually ended up flashing back to stock and flashing vendor via fastboot. Finally booted up, waiting for apps to restore from play store, then gonna back up before trying again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
I'd really like to install this rom, I've tried twice and I clearly need to flash a vendor img. I can't find a build number to flash the right one. Even when I try to look under settings I can't seem to find it. I'm currently on pure nexus. I flashed mhc19i vendor img on that rom. Maybe I just need to reflash that img. I've read all I can find about it and it still seems vague to me. (maybe I'm just dense) Any time I've tried to asked about it I've gotten no where. I'd be grateful for any help or links.

I'm looking forward to getting this rom up and running.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Same issue here. I was running the most recent vendor img on Pure Nexus and figured that'd be the right one for this as well. Of course I get the message upon booting up in this rom. Hopefully someone can chime in. Unless this rom is built off an older version?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
If you decide to flash the latest weekly build, it's based on MHC19I, so you'll need the appropriate vendor which can be downloaded here: MHC19I_vendor.img (link by [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION])

In regards to the official build from March 1st, I can't remember what vendor you must use. I think it's MMB29V_vendor.img (link also by [MENTION=4395895]BeansTown106[/MENTION]) but I'm not 100% sure. Anyway, weeklies are very stable, you can't go wrong if you flash them instead of official.

Here are the steps I usually follow for a clean install, never had any problem.

1. Wipe data / factory reset

2. Mount System

3. Wipe System

4. Unmount System

5. Flash DU ROM + latest Bank GApps (and other stuff if you want to: kernel, xposed...)

6. Flash MHC19I_vendor.img just in case (sounds like you don't have to, assuming you're already running the latest Pure Nexus build)

7. Wipe data / factory reset once more

8. Reboot System
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] chikimonke:
Were you guys using the Layers version of PN? If so, did you have a layer installed? If so, did you uninstall it before moving to DU? If I remember correctly, layers stuff is stored in the Vendor partition and screws things up if not removed. Latest DU is using the latest Vendor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
I'm on the official now can I dirty flash the weekly?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
I was not running the Layers version. I'm guessing the official version is based on an old vendor. Maybe I'll try what the member said about and just try the weekly update so I don't have to flash an older vendor.

Also, does this rom have LED light control in it by any chance? Just flashed the rom and looking for it but can't find it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
It shows not sim card after install. There's one step there I've never had to do before so I need to try that. someone asked about layers. I uninstalled the layers I had on the rom. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] fracman:
Does this ROM have PIE? I like removing navbar.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, you can use LMT Launcher though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] frost_nz:
Usually yes, but with the most recent one, no.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
I managed to get DU weekly installed. Thanks for the help with that.

Edit... Nevermind on the issue in thought I had... Looks great so far. Thanks again.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] pro4ever:
New weekly was just released
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
Another one!

Is this one safe to dirty flash.

I wont be first to try ha ha
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Doesn't that make it a daily? ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Just flashed the weekly from 3/25, hopefully we can dirty flash the build for today lol
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Dirty flashing today's over last test build fails. I'm sticking with test build until April patch is released. No bugs.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
Anyone flashed new weeklie over yesterdays weeklie?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] redskinsfan:
Yep and it was fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jayjay1234:
First time trying thus ROM and I have to say it's running great. There's a lot of fancy and functional features. Will keep on following this as ROM is it matures. Thanks for all the fine work of the developers here.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] acheney1990:
Going to try the new weekly tonight or tomorrow, the one released today. What's changed?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
The official build uses MMB29Q vendor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Toutatis_:
Ok, my bad.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Yeah, I really think they should post the vendor name with each release. Should be posted in op, on g+, and on the updater, but it's nowhere. Would solve a lot of problems! Gets confusing with monthly/weekly builds.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] acheney1990:
I know we're not to discuss test builds here but is there a benefit of flashing test build vs the weekly? Is it significantly less stable?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
That's 3 weeklys in 2 days. I'd love to hear what's different too. Thanks in advance. I'll dirty flash it when my Easter company leaves
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
The test build just has open commits which may be unfinished or unrefined (but there are rarely major problems). The weekly and official releases only have merged commits so they are tested.

The changelog is the merged section of Gerrit.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Yeah the gerrit is all greek to me but I'll flash it anyway. Thanks for quick response
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
LOL :p
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] acheney1990:
Thanks for the very helpful answers.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
3/27 weekly running great! For as much features there are, thing is running awesome. I will be sticking around.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dontbeweakvato:
How come my icons don't change when I apply?

I clean flashed everything. I'm not on weekly, I'm on 3/01 official ver 10. I've even wiped data in titanium on themes 1.0 and themes provider 2.0
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Are you using the stock launcher?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dontbeweakvato:
I've used stock and gel. But mainly gel
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah the Google launcher has problems with icon packs. Some people have said clearing the launcher data will fix that but I honestly recommend switching to the stock launcher or Nova if that is really something you care about
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dontbeweakvato:
I was using the stock launcher. It wasnt working at all. At least gel was applying two icons but not the rest. Maybe I'll try clearing the launcher
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Odd, decided to try a clean flash of 3/27 weekly over 3/20 test, and got the wrong vendor pop up. Booted up fine, set up apps, all looked OK until I tried qs pull down. It wasn't there. Then I rebooted and stuck on Google. Restored to 3/20,no issues, correct vendor. I did restore rom settings with rom bu prior to rebooting, maybe a conflict there caused the problem.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
Clean flash over 3/20 test? So was it clean or dirty flash?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Clean, factory reset, and wiped caches, system and data in advanced. Didn't mess with vendor image since already on latest. Just weird.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
Anyone have issues on latest weeklie and google camera app force closing?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] fyrstyk:
Issues with cast screen

Hi All

I'm on a weekly, and not sure if this should be here or in the G+ community (which I'm still waiting for my join request to be approved).

If I'm casting to my chrome cast and if the phone sleeps or locks the screen I end up in a loop where the default wallpaper flashes on the screen, and the phone is not responsive apart from the power button. After a reboot I have to reset my wallpaper.

Build is 18th March Weekly and everything else is standard.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Regards
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Nope, dirty flashed 3/27 weekly over 3/25 weekly and camera is fine.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
I dont mean the stock camera app.

I mean the Google camera app.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...8808-30-arm-android-6-0-android-apk-download/
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Yes, I only use the google camera.

I used pure nexus dynamic gapps, which includes the google camera and it's worked perfectly.

I just now double pressed my power button, my google camera opened and I took a pic.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Nekromantik:
Strange, I cleared data and re-installed the app but still FC.

Might need a clean ROM flash.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Love DU. Just waiting for the next official release.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dontbeweakvato:
What are the differences between the official and the weekly. I'm using the official because I came from resurrection remix and started having issues. On the official now I can't get the themes to apply properly. I did a clean flash and wiped the caches and data for the systems theming processes in titanium.
