[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
hates? I don't know about that. maybe would want us not to be so public, not anymore at least. I remember a time when someone from google would drop by and help us out, like on the nexus one.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Yeah not anymore. We have reached out to them and they refuse to have anything to do with us as we break all the security they put in place.

Take the nexus as an example. It is meant to be a developer device. So somethings they are willing to help with but as of late they are getting unhappier with us each time. I mean look at all the apps they have banned from the play store that we advocate the use of like ad blockers.

Editing build.prop

I want to change the lcd density from build.prop. Here's what I have tried so far

1. Temporary boot using twrp.

adb pull /system/build.prop

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

adb shell

chmod 644 /system/build.prop

and reboot. This was working on marshmallow, but is not working on N. Anyone got the same issue or any workaround for this one. Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
If you go into Settings > Accessibility and adjust the Display Size (or something similar to that), moving the slider all the way to the left makes it look like it's running around 480 density. Looks like you can also do "adb shell wm density" commands as well. http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...ge-your-devices-display-dpi-with-screen-zoom/

[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
Hook it up to your computer. Make sure computer has fastboot setup. On computer, download TWRP. Boot phone into bootloader mode. On the computer, open the command line or terminal and type in "fastboot flash recovery link-to-downloaded-twrp.img".
[Nexus 6  General] mexiken:
Very happy with it so far. 1.3% per hour is about the best I've EVER been able to get the phone, given my situation. To be able to get it with a bone stock kernel and ROM is rather impressive. Kudos to Google.

P.S. on a side note, my wallpaper selection (a live one) isn't sticking after a reboot. Anyone else having this issue????
[Nexus 6  General] mad_fitter:
I want to ask a serious question here:

Who all is as impressed with this preview 1 build as me?

I'm stoked. It's lightning fast, battery life has been pretty damn good, lots of new and USEFUL features, and the changes to ART and JIT seem to make the OS just fly. I'm kinda bummed about some app compatibility issues (no root explorer makes me sad), but we knew that would happen anyway. Other than that, I can't really complain.

Who's happy? Tell me with the number of likes. (I know this sounds like a cheap attention grab for likes, but I'm genuinely curious.)

Phh's Boot.img and Superuser.

read previous posts.
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
I am glad you like this update but I thought you may be amused by hearing an opposing views. Bear with me please because I'm about to rant. I am not at all impressed by this update. It is lightening fast, sure, but the phone was also lightening fast after a fresh install of marshmallow or lollipop, so what's new. Some of the apps that I use do not work well (or at all) anymore. For example I tried 2 live wallpapers and neither one stuck after a reboot. I used the cooltool app to monitor the most CPU intensive process in the status bar and now that doesn't work well either. And don't get me started on what's under the hood. Now you can't even have READ access to the system partition (which is a first in Android history) without rooting the device and the only available root method today is selinux permissive which leaves the system vulnerable so I prefer not to use it. So the only recourse to modify things is the awkward method of using the recovery and who knows Google may even kill that in the next Android.

So what exactly should we be happy about? The fact that you can change the DPI on the fly (which if you think about it is a useless feature to begin with)? Or that it gives you doze? Which raises the question why Google software, especially Google play framework, has become so chatty in the background over time that a solution like doze is even necessary? Truth be told, after 4.3 every Android update was a disappointment for me because in every update Google broke 10 things for every small feature they added, like restricting access to the external sdcard or the ugly material design that is so unfriendly to OLED displays, or progressively poorer battery performance after KitKat, or the crappy way that the power consumption is broken down on the battery report (which gets worse after every update), or the battery discharge graph itself with its stupid "X hours left" prediction which is never true, etc. And what's up with making it virtually impossible to obtain root? People used to buy Nexus phones because they wanted to root and customize them and now we have to jump through so many hoops just to get proper root access. If I wanted a phone locked down like this I'd buy an iPhone. And all of that is done under the guise of better security which is BS. I'm running my old rooted debloated xperia tablet on Android 4.4.4 with almost 3 months of standby battery time and I feel no less secure.

Android is beginning to look frighteningly like iOS.

Bleeding edge, yes, but too far for me.

I'd love it to be my daily driver, but I read the warnings and went ahead anyway. I don't regret it - there are some interesting things in N - but just too much lost functionality for me.

[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
If root is a security issue, why do they have an option to unlock the bootloader via fastboot ?
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
unlocking a bootloader isn't root. you need to unlock the bootloader to flash a factory image. root permission is completely different than an unlocked bootloader. with root permission, any attacker could do pretty much anything to your phone that they want, and access any files.
[Nexus 6  General] metallized:
So twrp asked me which partition do i wanna flash the images to. Can someone help me with this pls. Which partition do i flash the bootloader and radio to and which partition do i flash the system and boot img to ?
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
I understand root is different, however; both are "security" features. One prevents anything except factory images from being loaded, the other allows system access. Maybe different importance in terms of security, but both are security related. You can loosely argue a locked bootloader is security related in the fact that someone can steal your phone, re-image it then have your device.
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
twrp can only flash a boot.IMG, system.IMG, and a recovery.IMG. all other images you need to use fastboot.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------

yes, the bootloader is also a security feature. and a phone invader can be very bad to your phone, if they have root access available. but both are different, even though they are/can be related.

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

I dislike how this app handles immersive
[Nexus 6  General] mikeprius:
My point was that's it's pointless to have the ability to unlock a bootloader made available and not include a stock root for the factory images. If there's OEM unlock, there should be a SuperSU root toggle implemented stock. You effectively are partially compromising security anyways why do it half way ? There's no point making things "half secure".
[Nexus 6  General] simms22:
while i dont disagree with you, to a point, supersu isnt a open source project, its very closed source now.
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
It is important to recognize that unlocking bootloader is not compromising security halfway. An unlocked bootloader only allows you to flash images in the bootloader mode onto the phone, which means the owner has to make a conscious decision to reboot into the bootloader mode by pressing certain buttons, then go grab a cable and a PC, and then run fastboot to flash the images. This is not a vulnerable position. A virus or malware cannot exploit that. This is very different from having root, where (in the absence of proper gating software like SuperSU) any app can just call su and own the system.
[Nexus 6  General] yellowman82:
Ummmmm you do know this is a preview correct? And at that the first preview. When the first preview for marshmallow was out it was just about the same as now where a lot of things and apps was not working, your making it seem like this was a final stage OS update which is not.
[Nexus 6  General] najoor:
I am of course aware of this being a preview. None of my rants had to do with the bugs of the preview. I am just underwhelmed by what this update has to offer, even if all of it's bugs are fixed.

PS: You know what would be a good OS update? If Google spent enough time creating a Linux-like secured root system built into the OS so people wouldn't have to go through this cat and mouse game, instead of the random crap such as the shape of the battery icon, I would be very excited. But that is not happening in my lifetime.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
An unlocked bootloader is not making things un-secure as to where root does just that. Take for an example there is a combo of root app and binary that will grant all apps root access without even a prompt for the user. Even with the currant setup this can be done. Not very easy but it can be done. So I could write an app that requests root and auto grants it and then use a built in keylogger (this is already in the wild in one popular SMS app) to catch all passwords and user logins and then upload it to my server.

See where this is going.

Google believes that root is a security hole. As it really is for 99% of people. You will learn that people here are less then 1% of users and really mean nothing to OEMS. If all of us went to Iphones they wouldnt even bearly notice.

[Nexus 6  General] lyrical1278:
What people buy something for AND what Google intends for it to be purchased for are two different things. The amount of people buying Nexus phones is VERY small... The amount of people who actually ROOT and mod Nexus phones is even smaller.

The thing most people on XDA need to realize is that we are FAR from the target audience for Android. Even though companies say they support developers, they're not going to openly say they support rooting. Not when money is at stake. So, if Google cam give Android top level security, I'm all for it. These companies may KNOW about XDA.. Probably use XDA to find out about the exploits that are used to root and they patch those holes.

So yes, they will break those things people on XDA find useful because Google doesn't find them useful to their bottom line or their end game for Android. Especially when they want to expand Android into other arenas..

[Nexus 6  General] christianpeso:
Root is an issue/problem on any Linux based OS. Root allows you to do ANYTHING to an Operating System include redirect traffic, spy on traffic, and anything else that comes to a persons imagination. So its not that Google thinks root is a problem, it is an overall issue with the Linux kernel itself. It's like running as an Administrator on a Windows based OS instead of a User. Root is HORRIBLE for your typical user to run in normally. Too many security vulnerabilities.
