Did you need to do anything special to get your system mounted in rw mode? I can't make the tmp dir.

Tried es explorer pro (fails to get root) and solid explorer, gets root but fails to create dir.

How did you manage it? Edit. Root explorer seemed able to set file permissions.
[Nexus 5X General] gubshi:
I tried .498, playstore and beta. Always crashing when restoring messages. That was clean flash with the images. I'm now on MHC19J. Did you update via ota?
[Nexus 5X General] chadmd23:
Yes, I used ota, not a clean flash
[Nexus 5X General] samu_cappe:
Here! I installed the update via OTA and I have the same problem.

I like this preview very much but of course there are some bugs with some applications

[HOW-TO] [Review] My quick review for Android N on my Nexus 5X (bullhead) and guide

First things first. Screenshots gallery!! (click)

Hey guys!

So friends started pinging me late at night yesterday as I was the only one they knew having an N5X.

So I flashed the Android N developer preview, here it is. I have summed up my experience so far (It is a bit buggy, since it is the alpha preview, but we make do ;) )

The link below is my blog post, I've written the review and whatever features I noticed and I'll keep updating the page with any new features I discover (please mention anything you find).

Instructions for installations are also given for doing a clean flash according to Heisenberg's guide (thanks).

Here goes:

[Nexus 5X General] parthabhatta:
I was on MHC19J before I flashed this N version. I unzipped and saw that bootloader and radio versions of Android N is same as that of MHC19J. So I didn't flash either of them. I only flashed the remaining images one by one. Boot, system, recovery, cache, userdata and vendor. I lost all my settings and apps. I reinstalled the basic things for daily use including WhatsApp and everything runs pretty well. A few apps doesn't recognize the GPRS connection which includes my SMS banking app which is the only problem for me. Rest is very good for an alpha. Planning to stay with this and enrolled for beta. Didn't try root or TWRP being afraid of incompatibility. Overall pretty stable and ok as daily driver for me.
[Nexus 5X General] graffixnyc:
I'm so tempted to flash it on my 5x. I have it on my 6p at the moment. The bugs don't really seem to be show stoppers though, seem like for the most part everything important works besides some apps not working right because they need to be update but all the important stuff works, calls, texts, etc.. So I might go a head and do it even though my 5x is my daily driver
[Nexus 5X General] dryspuri:
How did you enroll, when i try to follow the link

https://www.google.com/android/beta?u=0

it is not showing my Nexus 5x as eligible device
[Nexus 5X General] graffixnyc:
You do know since you flashed the images manually you won't get the OTA updates right? So if you manually flash them there is no point in really signing up for the beta program because you won't get the OTA when it's pushed out
[Nexus 5X General] gaz31:
Yes that's the link i enrolled with.
[Nexus 5X General] km8j:
Who is using this as a daily driver? Any feedback on battery life and crashes, etc?
[Nexus 5X General] dryspuri:
When u clicked on link what happens, does your nexus 5x shows up on eligible devices, Mine is not showing up, i dont know how to clear the history or cache in google or it is not available in UK
[Nexus 5X General] gaz31:
Yes that's right, shows my 5x next to eligible devices. I'm also in UK.
[Nexus 5X General] dryspuri:
What a strange thing, it also does not show on android device manager, i am sure that device is visible in here https://play.google.com/settings
[Nexus 5X General] gaz31:
Maybe delete account from your 5x, reboot and then sign back in see if that helps.
[Nexus 5X General] dryspuri:
Somehow mine is not getting registered on google, I wonder what i am doing wrong, tried factory reset also does not work
[Nexus 5X General] bsinc1962:
I am. Haven't really had any crashes. A couple of apps are buggy (Yahoo Mail doesn't connect to the Internet) and Tapatalk is slow to connect but for me and my usage it runs well. No worse than many of the custom roms out there. During a call the sensor that shuts off the screen when you put the phone up to your ear is slow to work in either direction.

Battery life is tough to judge but projecting out looks like I'm going to be right around 5 hours of SOT.
[Nexus 5X General] dryspuri:
Can you please tell what build you were on before was it mhc
[Nexus 5X General] gaz31:
Yes it was MHC19J, i've actually now just gone back to it. Finding the beta a bit to laggy.

Finding with MHC19J that my 5x is the best its been.
[Nexus 5X General] km8j:
Thats pretty interesting. Are you on TMOUS? Is VoLTE and everything like that working fine?
[Nexus 5X General] v1c70r:
It's easier than that!

Get root with cf-autoroot.

Install latest beta of Flashfire.

Flash latest beta of SuperSU.

Install AdAway as normal.

Done!!
[Nexus 5X General] woodp241:
It seems to be my experience that as soon as I root DP3 becomes laggy and freezes a lot, and that's only with greenify having su access. Reflashed a few times and I get the same result. Silky smooth without root though. Anyone else experience similar?
[Nexus 5X General] v1c70r:
It's not specific to an app. Whatsapp, Google Play Services, even Android System itself. Some screenshots attached.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Why make it complicated if not miserable? ?

Just install Adguard
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
I used Root Explorer. Did you get it working?

---------- Post added at 07:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

Interesting solution. Did you install it this way? It didnt work for me though. Probably from all the tinkering I've done lately.

Just a warning of sorts for the future, if you use this method you are essentially converting from systemless root to system root. So if you wanted to use Android Pay this would break it. On the DP its not a big deal since AP isnt working anyway.
[Nexus 5X General] lexcyn:
Yes I have/had this as well. I ended up reflashing via the image download instead of the OTA... seems to have helped a bit, but I'm thinking it's because I dirty flashed and have not factory reset... I'm just going to deal with the occasional lag until the final release then do a complete wipe.
[Nexus 5X General] neo4uo:
I hate to say it but the last preview f****** sucks. Every app that I run when I press the home button there is a three to five second delay. Is everybody else getting that seems like there's a three to five second delay on everything.
[Nexus 5X General] woodp241:
Mines smooth right now but it's 100% stock clean install.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Fast and smooth here as well. Especially the double tap of the recent apps button to quickly switch between the last two apps. Better experience than I ever had with Marshmallow.
[Nexus 5X General] Dadud:
You're a terrible nitpicker. you really shouldnt be using this if you're going to call an entire preview build garbage because of a "5 second delay"
[Nexus 5X General] ralph9994:
Getting confused with all the flashing and Modified boot.img. I currently have DP3 stock isntalled. What do i do to get root and install a custom kernel?
[Nexus 5X General] v1c70r:
I forgot to say that you have to install busybox but yes, I've installed this way and no problems at all. I don't mind about AP because it's not working on my country.
[Nexus 5X General] neo4uo:
Well you can have your opinion and I can have mine but my opinion is it's almost non-functional having to wait 5 Seconds switching in between apps. Rumor is only two of the cores are working also. This third preview build was supposed to be beta not Alpha. In the io they said this was supposed to be a daily driver.
[Nexus 5X General] k.s.deviate:
From what I've read, the issues you are describing are due to taking the OTA. Clean flashing shows little to no issues, I clean flashed and have zero issues related to the build. In fact, my 5x is snappier than stock M and most of the custom roms available. The only thing is some 3rd party apps need to be updated as they are currently force closing eg: Manual Camera. The "big" cores being offline is not true, use a different app to view CPU stats and it will show that they are up and running. I use EXKernel manager, all six cores are functioning properly.
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
I OTA'ed and its running brilliantly, a lot better even than DP2. Had gone back to MM stock between versions and definitely as slick as stock MM on DP3. Battery is the only thing thats slightly worse.
[Nexus 5X General] k.s.deviate:
Maybe it's just a few devices having the issues after OTA. I'm not having any issues, even with battery.. it's been great.
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
Battery wise overnight usually I put my phone down about 6.30pm at 100% and dont touch it until 7.30am the next day and its usually at 97% on MM stock.

On N Preview its been at 93%. Hardly a disaster but still higher drain for me.

This is with data saver on, no wifi, no BT, location on battery saving mode and mobiledata left on.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
If yours is running clean and stock N DP3, no rooting, no kernel corns, no pepper spray, no butterfly wings then it is interesting coz mine doesn't hiccup even for a second. It is so far buttery smooth and has better SOT than most with customizations.
[Nexus 5X General] tlxxxsracer:
Same. Wanting systemless root so AP still works. But wanting to block ads.

Is there a kernel that supports systemless or will any kernel break AP?
[Nexus 5X General] pargop:
I would rather agree, even battery seems to be better, although it is of course highly user-dependent.

Surprisingly with N apps and system are using also a lot less internal memory - I had about 3,8 GB used with latest M, now it shows only 2,4 GB used. Or it is actually because momory use of the system itself is not shown?
[Nexus 5X General] drewski_1:
I don't have the 5 second delay you talk about. It's pretty instantaneous on DP3.

DP2 & DP1, on the other hand, were pretty laggy.

EX Kernel Manager shows all 6 cores going on/offline

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

CF-Autoroot or flash SuperSU v2.74, if you're decrypted and have TWRP installed.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

stock kernel supports systemsless.

i'm on Racer Kernel with Systemless, AdAway, & AP working AOK
[Nexus 5X General] tlxxxsracer:
Are you decrypted? I decrypted. do I just need to fastbook recovery img of twrp? then flash suv2.74?
[Nexus 5X General] drewski_1:
yes, that's right. fastboot flash the TWRP image and then flash 2.74
[Nexus 5X General] tlxxxsracer:
is there a special twrp img? or will the 3.0.2-0 work
[Nexus 5X General] Rado_vr6:
Safe to say that Android N is finally running somewhat okay on the N5X? The last couple builds were jankkkkkkkyyyyy!
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
I'm getting 97% but around 7 hours or so idle. Very much like M for me. I have every stupid thing running like email sync, wifi, all kinds of stuff. I do like to put it in Device Only mode though, that has always seemed to help somewhat. However, during the day the usage tends to drain battery a little faster. Not horrible but still noticeable. I attribute that to not having a custom kernel like Elemental X yet. I never did find great benefit to the profiles such as ghostpepper but they don't do any harm either to my device.

As for root you don't need a decrypted system for systemless root. Just get cf-autoroot and you're done. Root had absolutely no effect on my device in terms of performance. If you need root I'd say don't hesitate. AP works with root too. All in all pretty nice system so far. It's definitely a keeper for me. No need to go back to M.
[Nexus 5X General] emp504:
stock: If the phone is choppy af and takes time switching between apps, try a factory reset. Worked wonders for me coming from OTA updates (or just flash the whole thing manually).

Big cores are switched on/off quickly with variables causing the big ones to stay off even under high load (low battery, "high" temperature). Often they'll be simply turned off already when you swap back to eg cpu-z. Try CPU Stats, it shows core use in notification bar or cat /proc/stats. Latter to check if cores never activate at all.
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
I've been on "N" for more than three days but when I open the INACTIVE APPS selection in Developer Options, all apps show as ACTIVE. Each app invites me to tap on it to toggle it (I assume to inactive), but when I tap on any app to toggle it to INACTIVE, the selection greys to indicate I tapped it but other than that nothing happens.

Anyone have any insight? Is the "app standby" feature of DOZE not currently implemented in "N"?

Paul
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
Noticed the same thing...
[Nexus 5X General] heirei:
DP3 has been running amazing for me. I clean flashed from Uberstock and Phasma. Honestly, it's been smoother and faster than any custom rom and kernel combo/interactive tweaks/Greenify/Amplify/Better Battery Stats I've tried in the past. Battery drain on idle has been better as well and it seems like I'm getting the same if not better battery life as before (about 3.5 - 4 hr SOT - more than good enough for my use). Of course this is highly subjective and dependent on how one uses their device. I didn't root or modify anything and if Google continues to improve on the build in future releases, I'm actually thinking about not running a custom rom and kernel for once!

The only thing not working for me is it's not pairing with my car's BT audio, which I think is a known issue.
[Nexus 5X General] jrotert:
My observations coming from latest Chroma 6.1

I came from said Chroma ROM because while I loved the ROM, I experienced the nasty mediaserver battery drain that I could not eliminate no matter what I tried. I don't blame that on Chroma, but after extensive net research I couldn't fix it and decided to bite the bullet and try DP3.

I clean-flashed DP3 through FB, decrypted, flashed EX (I know Flar2 hasn't officially updated kernel for DP3, but it's what worked for me), flashed latest TWRP , and latest SuperSu (1.74 I think) through TWRP. Booted fine, and then I restored data apps w/ TB.

Works fine, although I do notice some apps complain about not having root access, e.g., ES File Explorer (although Root Explorer works as expected w/ root access).

As for as lag when opening/switching b/w apps, I do notice a lag, sometimes extreme, when the RAM on device after using it for a while drops below 200 MB or so . I solve this by using Recently (an app by Chainfire I believe) and using ""Clear All" option. This usually brings RAM up to 600 MB or better, and then phone responds as it should. I realize most in Android community recommend against any sort of task killer, but this has what has worked for me on DP3. Again, YMMV.

Battery life has been excellent--although I'm comparing that to mediaserver drain I previously experienced.
[Nexus 5X General] pbailey212:
Root should not effect performance, you both have greenify installed, I would bank in that being the culprit over root access
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Have you tried using just N DP3 without those fancy customizations? I am not experiencing any lags and getting excellent battery life.
[Nexus 5X General] drewski_1:
I'm using Greenify and have not noticed lags yet on DP3

---------- Post added at 05:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 AM ----------

that's an ES issue. see the SuperSU 2.74 thread

you should ditch it anyway. it's been revealed that it now has Spyware
[Nexus 5X General] ohad88:
Hi, I'm on dp3, stock, unrooted, locked and on WhatsApp version 2.16.98.

When I add an emoji, I get the emoji selection in full screen, pretty annoying... Is anyone else experiencing this bug?

Not sure if it's android or WhatsApp bug...
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Mine is just about 1/4 of the screen. ?
[Nexus 5X General] deluxxe51:
Same problem here
[Nexus 5X General] v1c70r:
Me too :(
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
I know it shouldn't but that's what I've noticed... And I don't have greenify...
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
Use the stock kermel you will never gave a lag trust me
[Nexus 5X General] yl1504:
Stock Kernel works much better than elementalx on DP 3
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
Yes because elemental x isn't update
[Nexus 5X General] alfick3:
So I have a question about the notification light and differing colors. I'm on DP3. I took an OTA from stock (I had been on the latest PureNexus and then flashed the latest stock and then signed up for the Beta program so got the OTA) . Do. I don't have TWRP, root or any modifications. The only thing I've done is allow the notification light to blink. I've noticed that it flashes different colors; white for most, but email is blue, Tapatalk is a lime green. I can't remember if I've seen another color. I was wondering if other people have differing colors? Also how does the OS choose the color? Before, while on PN, I had used Lightflow and set some colors, but I don't recall seting these particular colors so I don't think it has anything to do with that. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 5X General] yl1504:
Which whatsapp version are you using normal or beta? Version Number?

Thx
[Nexus 5X General] tlxxxsracer:
strange, systemless root and decrypted.. I try to use a file explorer to change lines in the build prop and it wont let me save. I tried solid explorer. in ES file explorer says that root permission cant be enabled on this device.
[Nexus 5X General] Scutariu:
Using N DP3, With Art layers theme, everything ok besides that line on the top
[Nexus 5X General] banciii:
Nope. I am using DP3 for 8 days and have not experienced any lagg or reboot or anything. There was only 1 slowdown for a few secs so far, with this many apps:

On dp3 I have huge drain. I have to go everywhere with powerbank :D
[Nexus 5X General] ttakacs:
FWIW, my phone paired immediately with my car's BT audio. Have others reported that issue?
[Nexus 5X General] alfick3:
My phone also connected to my car with no issues. I just got an LG HBS760 today and connected with no problems to my phone.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
No prob here either. UConnect immediate.
[Nexus 5X General] heirei:
I found the fix! It had to do with my car's BT audio default pin settings. Setting the pin to "0000" as opposed to the default "1234" fixed the issue immediately. This issue has been reported several times on the AOSP issue tracker but it seems like this is the fix. Others with different phone/head unit combinations from various forums also report this same issue and the fix is usually the same.
[Nexus 5X General] Giorgos Chatziioannou:
Did you format the phone after updating to N. if yes, then did u clear cache after updating to DP3 from DP2?

If nothing works then go to settings>backup and disable it.

Issue #206819 - Android N, Nexus 5x: all ARM 'big' cores are permanently offline
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
You recommend doing a factory reset after doing an OTA from M to N?
[Nexus 5X General] Ja_som:
It is good to make a factory reset after going to higher version (M -> N)
[Nexus 5X General] Firipu:
I love the DP3 build. My phone battery feels much better. I get around 4h of screen on time.

But there is quite a few apps that don't work at all. They just crash to the homescreen.

Onenote crashes. Onenote beta solves it partly

Skype cannot make phonecalls.

rakuten shopping app doesn't work

etc...

:(

I love Android N so much, it's buttersmooth compared to Android M, but all the broken apps make it slightly impractical as a daily driver :(
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Ok I might consider it after I back up texts and other data.
[Nexus 5X General] Methodikull:
Anyone else not have the Night Mode toggle on DP3? Not sure why it's not there...

I have updated super 2.74 to 2.74.2 and for me it s ok now
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
1. Enable Developer Options

2. Make sure animations are enabled

3. Long Press the gear icon on the swipe-down status bar to enable UI Tuner. (the gear will begin spinning and a toast notification will appear)

Press EDIT on the quick settings menu and add hold Night Mode and drag it to the top to add it to the shortcut list

Long press on Night Mode in the quick settings shortcuts menu after you've added it to change the settings.
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
with the 2.74 you had some lag ? and with the 2.72.2 is everythings alright ?
[Nexus 5X General] bostonirishguy13:
I'm having an issue when making or receiving a call. The screen goes black. Same thing happens if I use Hangouts to make a call. Maybe it'd my phone. No issues when I sue the S7.
[Nexus 5X General] tomj44:
yes i have lag with 2.74 not with 2.74.2

for info my nexus 5x is uncrypted
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
ok thanks you i will flash teh 2.74.2 version now ahahah
[Nexus 5X General] Methodikull:
Thanks for the reply. Turns out its because I didn't have developer mode enabled. Having system ui tuner enabled wasnt enough.
