What kind of stuff do you use on it? Games, music, videos?

My heavy usage is browsing (forums and news) while playing music on BT, youtube videos sometimes, Google cards on, whatsup and FB messenger active, yahoo and gmail sync on and sometimes with 1-2hrs call. I am getting 4hours SOT and 12 hours up time minimum.

I didn't see any OTA links for DP3. I'm guessing Google didn't provide those this time.

Dammit, I'm losing my touch. Always found it hard to navigate that website. Ideally that page should be linked from this Test on a Device page, instead I found it at the bottom of Support and Release Notes.

But it can be easily found with a search.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
To be fair, this took me awhile to find too. I completely agree with you, preview OTA links should be much easier to find. I checked the most natural place too, the "Test on a Device" page and was greeted with nothing to my surprise.

To flash custom rom coming rom DP, I use TWRP as usual or it won't work that way?

Tbh, Android N looks pretty promising, but it gives me noticeably worse battery life and it likes to freeze sometimes on custom kernel.
[Nexus 5X General] drewski_1:
You may need to flash vendor.img for MM, if it's not included in the Custom ROM.
[Nexus 5X General] deluxxe51:
Im on dp3.. How can I root, twrp und use a different Kernel ?
[Nexus 5X General] mxrider97:
Flash modified boot.img, decrypt, flash twrp. Have fun!

Has anybody tried flashing the OTA with flash fire? I'm kind of feeling adventurous and want to try it, but won't waste my time if it's already proven not to work
[Nexus 5X General] bluelinebrotha:
I want to test DP3 , currently on Chroma rom. Would I go to TWRP and do a full wipe, and then use fastboot to flash?

I've seen some modified boot files that I think I should probably install too, but not sure when in the process to do that.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Just follow Heisenberg instructions. Are you encrypted?
[Nexus 5X General] mykenyc:
No problem, the one i bought was 17 dollars, when i first used it on MM i was like meh. Now, for 17 dollars it has blown me away, i seriously can't imagine the more expensive ones. Exciting times.
[Nexus 5X General] bluelinebrotha:
I am encrypted, yes.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Well coming from another rom like you are you do need to fully wipe system partition before you flash. So go into TWRP and just do a wipe, but not internal. I think it says something like, "factory wipe without internal this is usually all you need." Do that and then boot directly to bootloader and flash according to Heisenberg without userdata.img. Everything including bl, radio, system.img etc. Finally fastboot reboot and sign in. That's really about it. If you want root (systemless) you can run cf-autoroot from your pc and get root with stock recovery. On the 5x TWRP is not working with N encrypted, which is why I asked. You will not have access to your flashable zip files yet. So plan it out accordingly. I copied everything I couldn't live without just in case but I had an unlocked bl so cf-AR worked without a hitch. Good luck.
[Nexus 5X General] bluelinebrotha:
Does this mean I have to first unencrypt my partition, and then install the N DP3 via fastboot? i'm not too concerned about having root, but TWRP I definitely need.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Why?
[Nexus 5X General] bluelinebrotha:
For future flashing/wiping/etc

TWRP is just an ease of use thing for me. I could always do fastboot, but when i'm in a bind I use TWRP 9/10 times.
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Not gonna happen until they fix it. Fastboot for now.
[Nexus 5X General] mykenyc:
You can only use it with an unencrypted system. Install N via fastboot, flash custom boot.img, flash twrp and you will be fine.

* I must warn you though, when i flash certain files for some reason i get stuck in safe mode. I flash xtremebeats and system went into safe mode, yet SuperSU and other files are fine. I tried everything to get it out of safe mode and have not successfully got it out of safe mode besides factory reset.

[edit] i believe what is happening is if a specific driver is installed on N that isn't compatible it goes into auto safe mode.
[Nexus 5X General] blinkin:
I've tried but got into bootloop... But I was coming from custom rom so that might have been the problem
[Nexus 5X General] Yeah/%#:
when are the modified boot? pls
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
Alright, so for those who are running DP3, be honest. Is it truly worth flashing and maining, despite the issues?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
I have N since DP1 and I must say it became stable as daily driver on DP2 and now is rock stable, buttery smooth and has the best battery optimization. Seriously, don't waste time rooting and bricking your phone coz I have not seen one with custom ROM and Kernel that is better than N DP3.
[Nexus 5X General] mykenyc:
Yes and rooting it is fine, just use a stock modified boot, decrypt, install recovery then system-less root if you need to root. I only need it for viper and adaway.
[Nexus 5X General] gururoop:
You should seriously consider leaving this forum. I mean every other post of yours in this thread is about bricking your phone due to rooting. How many people you know have bricked their phones just because of rooting?
[Nexus 5X General] Dave11:
Yes, stock rooted before flash and dp3 rooted after so works fine and still all encrypted.
[Nexus 5X General] sireangelus:
Battery life was the worse of any room and kernel Combination I've tried
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Really? This is about Android N not some pepper spray and kernel corn. Show me a huge difference between the two and I will tell if it is worth the effort of flashing different files and profiles which most of the time an excited user will post here and ask the same question again and again.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Definitely. It's been faster and smoother than stock Marshmallow for me. No slowdowns where I usually would get them.

What issues in particular are you talking about?
[Nexus 5X General] bobby janow:
Can I assume you are talking about the ghost pepper profile and different kernels? Kind of a weird way to put it but so be it. I don't believe that you can flash another kernel without decrypting since there are no custom recoveries that work yet. Some people decrypt and do it that way, but I'm not going to do that just to flash a zip file. That can wait until final release when I'm sure twrp will become functional on an encrypted device.

However, you suggested recently that rooting will (or possibly will) brick your device. Where did you get that information from? It is incorrect. A bad bootloader from another device will but not rooting. I think that the only way to root an encrypted N5x now with DP3 is to flash Chainfire's cf-autoroot with an unlocked bootloader. It's flawless and gives you systemless root with SuperSU in the app drawer for un-installation if needed I guess and configuration. Don't dissuade people from rooting this way by saying they can brick their device. It is disingenuous at the very least. You are right about stock kernel though, it's really doing quite well in the day I've had it installed.

As for the person above [MENTION=2351398]iamterence[/MENTION] that asked about if it's worth it, I say yes it is. If you can live without TWRP for the moment and you are careful if you decide to go back to M. I've not found anything so far that doesn't work and the notifications alone are worth the flash. I'm not a heavy user but I do use it a lot. If you are using Android Wear it works fine, I was a little concerned about that. Project Fi is also flawless as is Titanium backup and Root Explorer.
[Nexus 5X General] BrakeZ:
Hi guys,

I have Android N DP3 on my Nexus 5X since Friday and everything is great so far.

There is just one problem, that I have some process or application that is using GPS and so it's draining my battery. It's called 10252. I can see it in my battery settings and it's always on the first place in consumption.

This process or application is not shown in my applications list and I can't even tap the Force stop or Report button.

So I can't do nothing about it and don't even know what it is.

Can you please help me how to get rid of it?

Thank you many times.

Date not showing iin notification bar, just time

Hi, I installed N beta.

I noticed that on notification bar (status bar) when I swipe down it's only visible the time (hh:mm) and not the full date anymore.

No settings can be found for this.

System UI Tuner settings are related with clock icon next to battery icon.

Any idea / solution?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I've seen issues with battery draining, some apps not working, and someone mentioned LTE not connecting on Sprint, which is my carrier.
[Nexus 5X General] EeZeEpEe:
Strange. I see the full time and date both when the notification shade is down with shortcuts and down with full quick toggles. Did you try a reboot?

Battery has been about the same or slightly better than Marshmallow. I was having some app closures at first but they seemed to have fixed itself. Maybe app updates did the trick. And I'm a Sprint user with LTE working just fine too.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I see. I've been sitting on the idea of giving it a spin for a while, but I guess it's time to.

Okay, so I'm currently on latest Chroma right now. What would be the best way to go about flashing N DP3? Do I need to reflash stock recovery and then head on to DP3, or...?

TWRP wipe/factory reset from main wipe menu. Don't format internal storage, leave that be. From recovery boot into bootloader and flash everything according to Heisenberg except for userdata.img. Reboot and you're good to go. If you want root then get Chainfire's cf-autoroot and you'll be systemless root, unlocked bl, encrypted (if you started out that way) and ready to play. I think you'll like it.
[Nexus 5X General] Luigiesin:

[Nexus 5X General] philippsp:
Will the internal storage be wiped when I manually flash Android N over a custom rom?

You will not flash N over anything but a clean system in bootloader. Or coming from stock rom I'm not sure if the subscription update will wipe or not.

Getting very regular reboots on preview 3 on my Nexus5x. It's in no way ready for day to day use. Can't go an hour without it rebooting back to the bootup password prompt.

A warning to others. Also once enrolled, it will overwrite your OS, but keep your data, but if like me, you find out Android N is still a dog, and want to go back to Marshmallow and suffer the lag, then you will have to wipe your device and lose all your data...

Unzip the tar file using 7Zip on Windows, you will find radio, bootloader and another zip. Unzip this zip and you will have all files you need.

The commands are

fastboot flash radio radio-xxxx.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

Is the default display brightness now lower with Android N? on MM I had it to 50% now I need 75% to get the same brightness.

I like the look of this stock Android but at the same time while it uses this slightly "pale" color scheme that looks clean, the most recent TouchWiz is just as clean and mature just with more poppy colors, yet also coherent (compared to the past). I actually prefer the Samsung implementation of Multi-Window. Because in YouTube for example the entire app is multi windowed, so you can still browse and post comments etc... on N beta it seems to be just limited to the video?

[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Install AdAway hosts without TWRP

The following guide shows you how to setup AdAway on DP3 without twrp and while still encrypted. If you are unencrypted flash TWRP and the adaway systemless hosts file linked below.

Download the AdAway apk and systemless hosts file from HERE.

Place the apk on the sdcard of your phone. Unzip the systemless hosts file and copy the "support" folder on your sdcard.

Download and install Android Terminal Emulator or an equivalent. Alternatively you can use adb shell which is 100x easier.

You will also need a root file explorer.

The first thing you need to do is open the file explorer and navigate to the root of your internal storage. Here you need to create a folder called "tmp" (without quotes obviously). The file path of this folder is /tmp. Your file explorer needs root permission to perform this operation. Now go into the "tmp" folder and create a new folder called "su". The file path should look like this /tmp/su.

You now need to copy busybox, hosts, and 0000adaway.script from the "support" folder on your sdcard to the "tmp" folder you created in the root directory.

After you have copied the files you need to change the permissions of busybox and 000adaway.script files. You need to change them to 0755 aka rwxr-xr-x. This needs to be done with your file manager.

Now the fun part. Using the terminal emulator or adb shell type the following and press enter. Note that the terminal emulator will ask for permissions. Grant them.

su

Then type

cd /tmp

This puts you in the "tmp" directory we created earlier.

Now we need to mount su.img. Type:

./busybox mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime /data/su.img /tmp/su

Now you need to use your file manager to copy the hosts file to /tmp/su/etc/ and 0000adaway.script file to /tmp/su/su.d/

Now you need to unmount su.img Type:

./busybox umount /tmp/su

Reboot and install the adaway.apk, open the app and hit "Download files and apply ad blocking". It will make you reboot. When you are back up and running ad blocking should work.
