I unzipped the update zip inside the factory image, and then replaced the stock recovery.IMG with TWRP renamed as recovery.IMG. I then rezipped the update and flashed the "modified" factory image manually.

When it finishes flashing, DO NOT LET THE PHONE BOOT. This will either replace TWRP and/or encrypt the phone. Instead, force it into the bootloader, start recovery, and flash Jolla kernel and SuperSU 2.71.
[Nexus 5X General] rsa 329:
Sweet! thank you
[Nexus 5X General] mitchdickson:
No problem. Another tip: I had no luck with the Windows internal zip function. 7-Zip worked perfectly though. Be sure to zip the files together, instead of the directory in which they are located.
[Nexus 5X General] rsa 329:
got it. not to familar with jolla kernel. which version should I dl?

thanks
[Nexus 5X General] mitchdickson:
I'm uploading my zip to Dropbox right now if anyone wants it. I used the latest build of Jolla.
[Nexus 5X General] rsa 329:
That'd be great! Look forward to the link.

Thanks
[Nexus 5X General] mitchdickson:
OK, here you go.

fastboot flash radio radio.img https://www.dropbox.com/s/1zl73pmqw2wp5dc/radio.img?dl=0

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img https://www.dropbox.com/s/cg21kmqmt4n747o/bootloader.img?dl=0

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot -w update test.zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/s7c9ppbxn5qgv37/test.zip?dl=0

DO NOT LET PHONE BOOT AFTER TEST.ZIP FLASHES. You will need to start over if it boots for more than about 5 seconds. If you are able to get to bootloader and then recovery without TWRP asking for a passcode, you are good.

Force phone into bootloader using power button, and then open recovery (which will be TWRP). Flash Jolla kernel and SuperSU 2.71 zips, and you will be good to go.

Warning: this will wipe your phone. Backup in TWRP first and transfer the backup to your computer.

[Nexus 5X General] ChobbyNS:
Try with cpu z , you'll see that big cores are offline, and on this picture from system monitor you don't have frequency on that cores like on the four little ones.

I tried to unroll from the Beta program but my phone still says that I'm enrolled and will not let me revert to Marshmallow. Any solution to this issue? I would manually flash it but the Nexus 5X only comes with a USB C to USB C so I'm waiting for a new cable to come in that will allow me to unlock, root and install custom roms on the device.

What do you guys score in Antutu?

Im on N DP2 not encrypted, root and jolla kernel.

I had severe bluetooth issues on the previous preview (wasn't able to pair with my car, for example), is the new preview any better? I'd love to start using it, but handsfree is kinda important for me...
[Nexus 5X General] Ja_som:
Which app?

BT LE does not work on DP2, so some devices can't connect, e.g. my Mi Band :(

But my car radio works, also was on DP1...
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
That's WX Kernel Manager.

EX Kernel Manager (as in ElementalX)

FTFY
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
Is more good then the stock One kernel ?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
I was expecting Vulkan to improve graphic performance but it turned out DP1 is better than DP2. I got 73K with DP1 vs 68K with DP2. Of course the developers of apps should adjust with the new API first before we can see the eruption of the volcano. It will be good to see the match up of Vulkan vs Metal.
[Nexus 5X General] hardipatel:
Which version of Marshmallow should I select for downgrading?

So, I have had enough fun using Preview and going back to M but as I didn't enroll in beta before flashing it wont give me easy update for M :/ thus I am flashing it usual way but there are many versions of Android M (i.e MDA89E, MDB08I, etc) so my question is which one to flash as I dont remember which I had before flashing Android N.
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
Yes but the jolla kernel is more good then the stock One that come with the preview ?
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Not sure. If you can hit 74K+ without tweaking or performance hit then yes Jolla is better than stock N DP1.
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
Ok thanks you dp1 but on dp2 ? Ahahhaha sorry for all thsi question
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Vulkan was rolled out on DP2 but there was performance loss so far. I am sure this will be sorted out in the final release of N.

Here is the Antutu result of DP1
[Nexus 5X General] Ghost9867:
This is with jolla kernel ?

If yes try the dp2 with the stock kernel

Gotta say, pretty stable for an Alpha. I dirty flashed and only need to uninstall and reinstall some apps due to crashing but other than that fluid so far (reduced animations to .5 across the board.)

Are you actually using as daily driver?
[Nexus 5X General] Illogi.xbone:
Seeing as I haven't used or tried it for more than 1 hour I don't know what bugs or anything I encounter. Going to give it a good try though and see how stable it truly is.
[Nexus 5X General] bsinc1962:
Same here. It's actually pretty stable for what I use it for. So far calls texts and emails have all come in without any problems. With the screen on the battery seems to drop fairly quick though but that's just a seat of the pants observation.
[Nexus 5X General] Illogi.xbone:
One thing I noticed, I can't manually activate night mode. Kernel may be settling along with being fresh of the press and flashed I always notice battery drains within the first day or so.

[Nexus 5X General] RTNDO128:
I did a clean install of DP2. When I make a call, the screen immediately goes black. Hitting the power button does not turn the screen back on. The only way to get access to my phone again is to either long press the power button to reboot, or have the person I'm speaking to in call hang up. This will probably be a deal breaker for me.

For me Google should make better the RAM management, there are still lags, I know that is a DP but even in marshmallow I got some lags (obviously less than N), for example when you're updating apps in play store if you use the phone at the same moment it will lag alot and the device will heat too much

Maybe custom ROMs fix those problems, but Google should work for this, actually I'm not interested to install roms

Everything depends on the apps you use and how much you use. It looks like he doesn't use facebook, messenger, viber and other well known battery drainer social/chat apps. If you are not a heavy user, you can reach 6hrs sot easily. I use facebook, messenger, viber, whatsapp, skype, hangouts, google+, tumblr, instagram and still have 4hrs sot, which is still quite good in this scenario. :)

DP2 feels 10 times faster than the DP1, (and games don't crash anymore), yet you are concerned about lower benchmark scores? SMH.

[Nexus 5X General] F7X:
Getting it right...

Would someone be able to list a step-by-step guide, or point me to one, about the process of going from stock 6.0.1 unlocked to the developer preview with TWRP and root access?

At the moment I'm so far as having TWRP 3.0.2-0 and the N preview installed with root access from superSU 2.71. The system works fine, however: TWRP is not starting, it just hangs at the first screen. Also, I cannot install EX kernel / or Adaway. :/

Flashed TWRP via fastboot and also tried the TWRP manager app.

Flashed N via flashfire

root access via CF auto root

This whole thing must be due to something with the order of installation I suppose.

//Also I still don't understand the systemless variants of stuff like adaway :(

Any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 5X General] mitchdickson:

[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Maybe it is just the app that isn't detecting the Big cores properly. As far as performance/benchmark is concerned, I am not seeing big difference between M and N.
[Nexus 5X General] mykenyc:
This isn't uncommon to have a phone that works and others don't. I got lock ups last night and today, i am rooted though so i'm going to test without root.

Also, i think what people need to start mentioning is if they rooted or if they did it OTA versus Flashing image.

[edit] i don't want to jinx myself, but so far unrooted seems way more stable, even the battery life seems better i been on 85% and it only dropped to 84% since first making this comment. People viewing this thread who have problems, was your DP2 rooted or OTA'd? Mines is image flashed, no root and with no encryption, i will continue testing.
[Nexus 5X General] k.s.deviate:
flashed image, no root and encrypted.. absolutely zero issues. 110% better than preview 1, cant wait to see the final build.
[Nexus 5X General] MaLiXs:
concerning the big core being a offline, I'm stock, no root, and flashed image, I even relock my bootloader. I got the same issue with the update installed by ota
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Mine was on M -> OTA N DP1 -> OTA N DP2

No root, no tweaking, all stock.

I think final N will be a huge leap in battery and performance
[Nexus 5X General] roofrider:
DP2 seems to have a different bootloader. Has flashing N and going back to M caused any problem? I didn't see any such reports in the thread though.
[Nexus 5X General] Spark007.:
Hey all,

Looks like Google changed something in DP2.

I was able to flash supersu through TWRP and also, the supersu app was granting access for interactive shell..

But, I saw that when trying to use Adaway or even ES File Explorer, I was not able to gain root access even though the supersu app toast notification was present that root access has been granted.

Perhaps, this may solve the confusion.

Cheers!

[Nexus 5X General] t3al:

[Nexus 5X General] mykenyc:
Okay so what i can see from the flashed images people everything seem to be fine, so the issue with a lot is with the cores. Is there any other way to test cores through command line? Like how Linux have lspci to display pci devices, maybe the apps aren't compatible yet? The reason why i'm a little skeptical is from the person who posted here their ram use and all apps he posted had conflicted results. I think we should ask someone like Flar from Elemnetalx or any kernel developer to see if he can take a look at this. Flar specifically said he isn't supporting N yet, but i guess we can ask if the cores are intentionally turned off or how we can send him a log or something, i don't know?

happy weekend everyone

Problem in telephone app in DP2

I did a clean install of DP2. When I make a call, the screen immediately goes black. Hitting the power button does not turn the screen back on. The only way to get access to my phone again is to either long press the power button to reboot, or have the person I'm speaking to in call hang up. This is annoying as I am unable to use the on screen phone options. Did a factory reset as well as clear cache of the phone app. Any suggestion please

[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Actually, that is not the case. For unknown reason, CPUZ is telling the 2 big cores as offline even if the phone idled for quite a while already. I would prefer that N disable the big cores or the 4 little cores to extend battery life. And popular benchmark tools like Antutu 6, Basemark, Geekbench are worthless and does not scale right with multicore SoC.

Just got rid of android N sadly. the deal breaker for e was the missing wifi calling. I rely on wifi calling in office :(
[Nexus 5X General] Bluewall:
Hello people, long time no see !

Do you feel like the phone is okay to use on a daily basis ?

I have tried the first one when it came out but battery life was so bad and performance such a problem I couldn't use it and had to revert back.

Of course this is a beta preview and I know it shouldn't be used as a daily driver yet but since the 5X is my only phone and I would love to be able to mess with Android N (mostly for app developement) I was wondering if you guys had some feedback to give :)
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Firstly, it is still there under. Is it not working?

Secondly, I can't think of a scenario where wifi calling is needed in the office unless your office is completely blocked off the cellular site. And FWIW, I think unlimited call&sms are present on any plan nowadays?

Thirdly, does Skype or Hangout or Messenger not gonna work for you?
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
What the hell. It wasn't under settings - more. Has it moved somewhere else?

I also didn't find it in phone settings.

Yes, I my network is LTE only and there is hardly any network where I sit.
[Nexus 5X General] Joms_US:
Under More... Wireless & Network

Hmm that carrier is strange, it should automatically switch to slower band when there is no LTE. :)
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
Strange, I never found it there. Anyways, will try next when N preview 3 drops.

As far as carrier is concerned, it is a new carrier and has no 2G/3G for fallback. Its a LTE only network. Where voice is VOLTE/VoWiFi only and data is LTE only.

They have no plans to setup legacy 2G/3G infrastructure.

The network is currently in beta testing and has free unlimited data and voice :D
