Official:

milestone release, when there are enough changes to bump the version (10 to 10.1 for example) and all their supported devices are ready for it.

Weekly:

normal scheduled release (every Friday), which has all merged commits from Gerrit. Pretty much same thing as the official release but the version stays the same and there may not be that many changes.

Test:

not announced on here but these are just as they sound. They have open commits from Gerrit, which could be unstable at times. These will only be talked about on Google+.

As for your problem, don't wipe the data with Titanium Backup. Do it in Settings > Apps > Menu dots > Show system (Themes and Themes Provider). If all else fails, reflash and don't restore data from Google.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
One thing I've noticed with this ROM compared to others is there is a slight delay when pressing the navigation buttons. My guess is it's the smart bar feature. But I feel like I'm back to my note 4 again with the delay. Anyone else notice this? You'd have to be familiar with a recent rom to notice the difference. But pressing the buttons is definitely not instantaneous.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] 21cdb:
It's instantaneous on mine. Do you have any double click actions assigned to the buttons? That would cause a delay because it would have to wait to determine if another click is coming after the first one.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
I do...maybe I'll try changing that.

Also, is there a setting to allow silent mode and not DND mode when pressing volume down all the way?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] jesssiii:
The test versions are on the I vendor. If the weekly gives an incorrect vendor notice, obviously try the V, then the Q. One will be correct.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Turns out I is correct. I tried again today, all working fine until I restored ROM setting BU. Then would not boot. Turns out ROM settings BU is not compatability with this build. I had used it until now, but no more. I'm back on 3/20 for now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mystifiyer:
I failed to see how my posts were whiny. I post a question, somebody answered and off I go. Your tone in your post however , I take offense in it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
There is a warning after opening the app, not compatible anymore until they fix the bug and the warning indicated a ROM 6.0, not only DU, so mates is not safe anymore to use ROM settings backup sadly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] dadoc04:
while talking about backups, Is there a way to backup the apps permissions? I use TB usually, but restoring apps still requires me to set the permissions...

thx
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JP_93:
I've seen others mention this and I've had this problem every build. Sometimes the bottom of my wallpaper goes black randomly. Anyone know if this can be fixed?

I'm now on the latest weekly build.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bixorastexante:
When it happens to me, it's the rotation that doesn't work as it should. I'm confident you can "fix" it by rotating your device to landscape and back to portrait.

Dirty flashing

After yesterday, I can definitely say that dirty flashing is still off the table. Tried to dirty flash the 3/27 weekly, and system UI and phone stay stuck in a loop of FCs. Wonder what's breaking dirty flashes so much lately?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
When they do major/big changes dirty flashing will cause a lot of issues. This is why they say to do clean flashes.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Preeeeeeeecisely.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] bkrickles:
Not entirely true.

As I said yesterday, I dirty flashed the second 3/25 weekly over the first and then dirty flashed 3/27 weekly over the 3/25 and all is good.

The one I couldn't dirty flash was the first 3/25 weekly build over 3/18. Maybe that's why they pulled that one.

Anyway, it did work for me but obviously everything is much better with clean flashes although that can be a pain sometimes.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] evolver10:
Latest DU clean flashed hangs on DU splash screen. Can't get latest TWRP to restore my backup. What's best way to return to stock and start over?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
Do you have another version of DU on your phone? If you have your phone hooked to your computer you can still put stuff on it when you're in TWRP if not. Unless you just want to start all over with stock.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] evolver10:
No. Nothing else on it. Had a stock back up but it won't restore with latest TWRP. Just got phone yesterday.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3206928

I believe step 10 is how to go back to stock
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
What partitions are you attempting to restore? Only select system, data, boot, and vendor.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] evolver10:
I don't have a vendor option. Just got the back up to flash but it's hanging on Google splash. Looks like I'll have to start over with a tool kit I guess.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
No, wipe everything but internal and then restore, boot, system and data.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] evolver10:
Thanks. Got it. First time using latest TWRP. Still don't know why DU was hanging up though.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
Prob a bad download, try downloading it again, sometimes I download builds twice just to make sure, if you have a laptop is kinda easier, while booted into trwp use adb push (This only if you can't boot into android) to place DU zip file on your sdcard and try flashing it but now that you're booted into android just re-download it, latest weekly is 27/03.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zige:
Why to use adb when you can do it with usb cable in TWRP?

ROM Settings Backup

Anyone confirm whether ROM Settings Backup works with Android 6.0+ ROMs?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
No, it does. Something changed where it may not work properly (source).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Loving the quick reply pop up for the messaging app, but is there anyway to change the color to something else besides the green?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
I just clean flashed the 3/27 weekly, and unfortunately, ROM Settings Backup didn't restore anything. This was the first time it wouldn't work.

Also, for some reason, I'm unable to swipe down from the status bar and get to my quick settings. Can't pull it down with one or two fingers. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
I'm on the official build but my phone doesn't vibrate when I set my phone to vibrate.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] mannyalba:
It's working well here, you using nova? nova has a option named expand action using root on look and feel, disable it if so.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Not having a problem with that, I clean installed the 3/27 weekly yesterday. Could have something to do with the ROM Settings Backup going wrong.

Haven't had a problem with that, have you installed any mods?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tcat007:
Same thing happened to me. Clean flash is only way out (or restore previous). Rom BU not compatible (we were just lucky on previous builds).

https://plus.google.com/108063042411934399293/posts/gPnFSszq49N
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
No mods installed. I think I'll just try the test build.

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Where can i find a change log for the weeklies?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Merged section of Gerrit or their Github, this was asked a few pages back.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
Sorry, I saw the question a few pages back.

I have been to the two links but dont really know what I'm looking at.

help a newbie out?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
So Gerrit is their code review tool. Click on the merged section. These are commits that have been approved and merged over to Github. The title of the commit tells you what it is about. The repo column tells you where the commit is located (most features and stuff happen in the fameworks_base, DU-Tweaks, and Angler repositories so look for those). Anything that has happened after March 27th hasn't been released yet. If you see a commit that looks interesting, click on it and see if there is a more detailed message to give you a better idea of what it is. That same process applies to Github as well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tennisshoeninja:
Awesome!! thank you greatly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Dirty flashed latest weekly with MHC19I vendor with TWRP 3.0.0.1. All went wrong. 80% apps forced closed. Restored previous backup(system,data,vendor,images,cache all options) and the effect was terrible lol. Formatted data partition. Now again restored backup. This time only data, system, boot, vendor. Rebooted well and found my lost device. But from then on Google photos keep on crashing. Gave all the require permissions, removed additional app security but still no effect. What else to be done? Should I just clean flash the latest weekly or the official? if that done can I get back the apps again(Too lazy to download again from play store).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
Clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
As Heisenberg said, you should clean flash at this point. It will take you less time to just start fresh than it will be to try and get everything working at this point. You will have to re-download your apps from Google but you can use the restore feature if you don't want to manually go through and select the apps to install. Every time before I dirty flash, I back up my messages and Nova settings (and occasionally a Titanium Backup even though I very rarely use it), that way if I run into major issues, I can clean flash without losing anything major.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Ok so need to download the apps again right?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
You might as well if you're clean flashing.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
So I can clean flash the latest weekly with latest banks Gapps. You said :

Official: milestone release, when there are enough changes to bump the version (10 to 10.1 for example) and all their supported devices are ready for it.

Weekly: normal scheduled release (every Friday), which has all merged commits from Gerrit. Pretty much same thing as the official release but the version stays the same and there may not be that many changes.

Test: not announced on here but these are just as they sound. They have open commits from Gerrit, which could be unstable at times. These will only be talked about on Google+.

(Sorry couldnt quote.)

So i can use the latest weekly as daily rom?

Thank a lot :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
You definitely can, I've been running it for a few days and it's been rock solid. The only problem I've noticed is a bit of a delay in the phone walking up when I use the fingerprint scanner. We're talking maybe one second or so at most. Other than that I have no complaints.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Correct, the 3/27 weekly is running flawlessly for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] doki81:

Had a few problems with opengapps on the latest weekly, got stuck on the splash screen for about 20 minutes. This was with a full wipe.

Just tried again with banks dynamic gapps and it's booted up fine!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] D-m-x:
Opengapps have never worked without any issues for me. Either Loops, Force Closes or missing libs for Voice Recognition or something.

I would recommend to anyone using Banks instead of Opengapps to avoid problems.

ROM Settings Backup/DU

Okay. I have clean flashed the 3/27 weekly twice now, and can confirm, at least for me, that ROM Settings Backup borks parts of the ROM (inability to pull down quick settings). I even dirty flashed the 3/27 weekly over itself after restoring with ROM Settings Backup, and it still didn't fix the issues. Maybe there are new settings or ones in different places that ROM Settings Backup isn't yet coded for? I don't know. I do know it works with the 3/22 test and 3/01 official builds, both of which are Android 6.0.1, so something has changed, I just not sure what.

I'm going to clean flash the 3/27 weekly yet again, and instead of restoring the settings with RSBU, I'm going to rebuild them myself and back them up. I'll then try to restore them on this Friday's weekly to see if it works. If not, I guess it'll be time to say goodbye to a great tool.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
No, there's a delay between placing your fiber r on the reader and the device unlocking to the home screen.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
The developer of RSB has already indicated that there are ongoing issues with the application.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Was it ever instantaneous? Even on Bullhead, I don't recall it ever being immediate.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] slojam:
Hey folks. Quick question here. What partitions should we back up & restore in TWRP? I'm obviously doing something wrong... Haven't been able to successfully restore any backups. It did boot up for me once, after about 30 minutes, but that was a pin secured backup, & of course I couldn't get passed the borked pin code. Should it really take that long to restore a backup on this phone? Few of my other devices have taken that long , if any in the past.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Gil Smash:
Hey guys, I learned the hard way always back up even if it's just a simple dirty flash update when I flashed 3/25 over 3/20 and all hell broke loose. Not sure what happened but I had an FC loop of both system UI and Phone and it was totally unusable. I backed that up in twrp in hopes of getting some of the data out of it, specifically sms. Anyone know if it's possible to extract something like that from an unbootable twrp backup?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
/system, /data, /boot, and /EFS
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] slojam:
Thanks
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
Understand, and I've read his post. Some have said that it still works with the latest weekly, and I just wanted to throw my two cents in at the issue.

I feel the fingerprint scanner has been pretty responsive. I haven't had much experience with it on the latest weekly yet, as I have spent only minutes on it due to the issues I've brought up about RSB recently. But I'm doing another clean flash w/out restoring with RSB, and I'll be able to report on the responsiveness of the scanner soon.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
I hate asking for stuff, so I hope I don't piss anyone off, but I was wondering if it would be possible to add a way to use app circle with a button. I can never find it on the screen when I need it and always hit it when I don't need it.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
It's intended to be gesture based, so we'll likely not be adding any button that would do that. However, feel free to submit a feature request to our JIRA as we do not take requests in our threads.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Is there any way of uninstalling the system apps like camera and messenger of this rom?

I want to use google camera and messenger app.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Well there is the system app remover in Dirty Tweaks. I personally disable the included camera, hide the messenger app with Nova, then use Google Camera and Textra straight from the Play Store. I don't see much benefit to straight up deleting the apps.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Dipayan4u:
Okies thanks. I'll disable the apps which I'll not use.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] manup456:
[MENTION=2489052]NYCHitman1[/MENTION] The fingerprint sensor on latest weekly is working as normal not sure what the others users are talking about.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] JrSmilez:
Crap, sorry about that.

I believe titanium can restore from a nandroid.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
I uninstalled the system calculator app via dirty tweaks, yet it still shows up in my app drawer. Not sure why. Google now has it in the app drawer for those who don't know. I don't even see it in apps in Google settings.

Did you reboot after you removed it? if not, try it.

How do you back up your messages? I use the Google Messenger and even though i backup it through TB it does not restore my messages.

Cheers ?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
SMS Backup & Restore (linked in my signature). Works 100% of the time for me.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Thanks for the tip. My backup pro doesn't work either.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
I've had good experiences with TiBu's "backup data as XML" option in the menu for restoring my SMS/MMS. Could give that a try as well.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] nathanchance:
Which is exactly what that app does haha (that's why I use it) but that is its only function, unlike TiBu. XML is better for backups since it doesn't corrupt or ruin anything as easily (if at all).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
Something to be said for simple standalone functionality :P
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] wvcadle:
My fingerprint scanner reacts immediately on the 3/27 weekly.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
Yeah it's always been pretty fast on this device, it just isn't as responsive on this ROM for some reason.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
You're doing it wrong. Backing up the messaging app doesn't also back up the messages, you need the pro version for that, it's a different option in the list (Messages (sms & mms)).
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NYCHitman1:
Now that I actually test it for myself on Bullhead -- it is fairly quick. I guess I just never paid attention to it because I normally use a PIN. I'm sure it's just some weird peculiar behavior between devices. Others have indicated no issues and vice versa.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
Yeah, and I should clarify, in my experience it isn't always delayed. Sometimes it's exactly as fast as it should be, and other times it's dreadfully slow.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] DontPushButtons:
I recall reading people were having those kinds of results running the interactive gov. Have you tried switching to a more aggressive governor to see if that might have an effect?
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] zige:
l noticed same on newest weekly. Before it every tests and weeklys fast fast but now sometime its notable slow.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] Heisenberg:
No I haven't, and I don't really wish to. I always use Interactive and have never had this issue before. It isn't a big problem for me, a second or two here and there isn't a big deal. It's more the fact that it is happening when it doesn't need to be.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] tu3218:
Having an issue of the status bar and navigation bar going in an out of transparency and all black. Anyone have this issue? Can't find any consistency behind it.
