This is may flash setup

if any one have problems and would like to try

using fastboot

flash bootloder then reboot the bootloder

then flash radio ,system and boot img

then directly Reboot to TWRP

and install supersu 2.71 and elemintalx 4.04

I did this over dp1 and most things work better than dp1
[Nexus 6  General] jason504:
I don't have a computer right now. But I already have the radio and bootloader because I have already flashed the first beta. Then I went back to Pure. So I already have the new version of TWRP and stuff. So I should be able to just flash the 2nd beta version? But like I said I am hearing about this TWRP problem.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
no if you don't flash recovery img

TWRP will stick no problems

so just download super su and elemintal in to phone

then flash system and boot then go to recovery to install su and the kernal
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
no if you don't flash recovery img

TWRP will stick no problems
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
That's not true in my case...! I was on Dp1, wiped system cache, dalvik and data. I downloaded factory image..extracted system and boot.IMG . I flashed system.img, then boot.img..rebooted twrp recovery.. Then flashed Su2.71. After su finished, phone immediately booted into OS. It was all good, just wasn't rooted. Tried to reboot into twrp! It was gone!! I ended up having to fast boot flash twrp.

I haven't had any random reboots or any problems. All my layers work.. All my root apps work.

I'm reading that if you flash twrp just before the other stuff..twrp will stick afterwards.
[Nexus 6  General] jason504:
Do you have a zip of TWRP?

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Do I have to flash super user again? I flashed already when I flashed the first beta. But I did go back to Pure. I could be wrong but since I flashed all of that already I should have the new radio bootloader and super user right?

[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I'm sorry... No I don't. I flashed IMG.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
If you get the ROM and SuperSU flashed successfully, you can use TRWP manager to install the recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
if you flashed radio and bootloder for Dp2 then went back to mm with out flashing radio or bootloder then there is no need to reflash again

but su is system file so you have to flash it with every update to stock android

Unlike most custom roms that have it included
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
twrp is img file

you can install it through fastboot

or through twrp it self (for update usually)

Is anyone having like memory leaks? Occasionally, I'll have severe lag.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Not near as bad as NP1. Just try to swipe out of apps.
[Nexus 6  General] fhblake04:
That's what I've been trying to do. If I run more than one apk in the background, I have a bad time, lol.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Wow that's much worse than mine, mine usually caps at 15-20+ apps
[Nexus 6  General] fhblake04:
What kernel do you use? I'm on EX pretty much stock with BFQ and the highest read ahead.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I'm on EX on my N6 nvm
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
So after some initial testing I think I may have solved the random reboots.

Here are my steps:

1) turn off Ambient display

2) disable chrome (this will switch your system to using the system webview (also noticing a performance improvement) also I suggest installing nochromo as a ad-blocking replacement browser.

3) turn on "Keep cellular network active when wifi is on" in Developer settings.

4) profit

So far my Nexus 6 has been blazing fast, not getting warm and stable. Let me know if this works for anyone else. Especially interested in seeing if the crashes are related to the chrome build in DP2.
[Nexus 6  General] jason504:
Finally got beta 2 working. The only thing I see not working is about phone in the settings. It force close when you click on it.
[Nexus 6  General] meissen:
Using beta 2 right now - buttery smooth and a lot more stable than PureNexus was for me. On the PureNexus rom, my phone was constantly dropping signal and a bunch of apps just wouldn't work [Snapchat especially]. Android N Beta 2 installed and it's working GREAT! Was able to drive home and maintain a phone call for the first time since I switched from the factory ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] jason504:
I came from Pure and did not have one problem. That sounds crazy. The signal should not matter from rom to rom. The only problem I am having with Beta 2 that I did not have on Beta 1 is I am getting a lot of force closing in the settings. Going through the settings my normal thing i am getting fc. About phone fc as soon as I hit it. Other than that it is a lot smoother.
[Nexus 6  General] ztmike:
Is anybody having low volume sounds on Facebook Messenger? Like notification message alert and another one I can't think of atm.
[Nexus 6  General] jason504:
Ok I Flashed beta 2 and yes it is a lot smoother than 1. But I have a lot of problems that I did not have on 1. I am getting a lot of Fc. All over the place today. I push my phone pretty hard so maybe it could not keep up today. I got some screen freezing today. I do like it beta 2 but had to go back to Pure. It is a beta preview so it is to be expected. Maybe I need to reflash it. Is anyone else having these problems to?
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
I see some people talking about corrupt photos and see that listed on the official Google page, but I have not experienced any using the stock Google Camera.

Looks like the issue was with HDR disabled and taking a photo in portrait mode. All the test shots I've taken come out fine.

Am I missing something?
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
Stability has not been my problem on beta 2 (I am using the OTA version, not rooted but my bootloader is still unlocked) my problem has been battery life. Not that it's terrible, but it's certainly draining faster than it was. I'm at 33% right now, 6 hours off the charger with 3 hours SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
I can replicate the problem if I use like, Messenger+ to take a picture. The camera app itself works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] drnbrk:
My Nexus 6;

WiFi is too slowly on Play Store. Play Store WiFi download speed only 200~300 KB.

Battery %30 or less than; applications is lazy. I don't understand this.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
Please don't take this as me being a wise ass. You have to understand it's only release 2. I'm actually waiting until final release. I feel your pain though. I had so many problems with beta 1. Maybe I'll give it a shot when they release beta 3. Android team is pretty good at fixing bugs.
[Nexus 6  General] meissen:
Definitely not ready to be a daily driver. The phone app doesn't work half of the time when receiving a phone call - that's kind of a deal killer. Most of my daily driver apps don't work as well - especially Wink app for my home automation.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I'm curious as to how you installed the N preview?
[Nexus 6  General] meissen:
Followed method 2 (running flash-all) in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/android-n-preview-2-npc91k-flashable-t3358335
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
Coming from pure Nexus.. I used method 1 after wiping system, cache, dalvik cache and data.. I didn't have any problems. Now I'm on preview 2

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

I'm on preview 2..I downloaded the Kindle app and didn't have any problems. It loaded all of the books that I had.
[Nexus 6  General] meissen:
Hmmm, maybe I could give it another shot. There's things I did like about N compared to MM, but I also like that I can have the mild customization using xposed like the expanded power menu, dotted circle battery with percentage, etc.
[Nexus 6  General] :
You actually can have percentage, it's in SystemUI tuner.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
If you do decide to try again.. Make sure you turn on allow oem unlock.

Preview 1,2 have been rock solid for me. All my root apps work and I'm using elite kernel. Great battery life
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
The battery percentage doesn't stick after rebooting or charging the device.

Really hope they fix this in DP3.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
it stick if you don't change the night mode setting

Leave it on or off (up to you )

then activate it the percentage <<<< weird problem
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Ah gotcha. Well I like the night mode so not a big deal to have it battery percentage off.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
After you but night mode on

go and but the battery percentage on

Bottom line if you change the settings for night mode

the battery percentage will revert to default
[Nexus 6  General] dpalmer76:
I have both in at same time. No bugs for me in this area.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I switched mine and the percentage disappeared. I thought it might be due to the layer that I'm using.
[Nexus 6  General] dpalmer76:
I don't have layers installed at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] muabaylentroi:
I got my books and my documents but when I open it show blank. :(
[Nexus 6  General] westers035:
Trying to leave N2, (too many things not working for me to use it daily) but failing miserably. Have unenroled the device and got the download but fails on the install phase, done this 3 times now. At a loss.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I just redownloaded it to test for you..work for me on Dp2
[Nexus 6  General] muabaylentroi:
Thanks sir, I 'll try another reader app and wait for dp3 or a newer version of kindle app.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I downloaded it from the Amazon underground app.. I clicked on the book..a check mark popped up.. I think it said "downloading".. Then opened up.
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
How's the battery life guys? I hardly manage to get 4 hours SOT now.
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
Mines not very good either bit they probably have lots of debugging stuff going on in background, the mm dev previews weren't very friendly with battery at the beginning either so......
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
OK, let's hope the next previews get better battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I don't know if this is good or not...

I just cleared the cache.
[Nexus 6  General] sandip_909:
Much better than mine.

the battery percentage no stick with reboot

I found new problem reboot app don't work

tried 4 apps so far
[Nexus 6  General] jblakz:
My is same as OP. Butterly smooth, some apps crashed (MX Player Pro, Camera FV-5, ...) and some is missing libraries. Some toggles (like Hotspot, Data) are not functioning normally.

For who experienced lags and hiccups: Turn off Switch Access in Accessibility. I accidently enabled it and faced those problems. Turn it off and it is smooth like before
[Nexus 6  General] bultras:
Yes, reboot option is hell...

Only Titanium Backup doing this correctly.

[Nexus 6  General] StykerB:
My experience is basically the same as a stock experience with more software bugs:

Starts of great smooth wow this is nice... 6 hours later.... laggy as hell because the kernel is still awful.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Running N for 3 days now. Not going back. For my daily use it works perfectly. I'm on Project Fi and haven't had any issues. Love the dark theme. Tbh I liked the look of notifications from M better but these are more interactive so I guess it's better. Very surprised and pleased how well this works for such an early build. With the options to update thru OTA on future builds I feel like things will get fixed in a timely manner. Only apps I have found that don't work was Eleven Music player and XDA Labs/Forums. XDA Labs was updated yesterday and now fixed.
[Nexus 6  General] fiffan86:
While using playing music, if the screen turns off, the music stops playing after a minute or two. Sometimes some menus just show up as a long line and you can't tell what you are picking.
[Nexus 6  General] Negotiator50:
Had the complete opposite experience. I experienced about 4-5 random shutdowns in the first 10-12 hours (phone didn't even reboot; just shutdown). I did a factory reset thinking it might have been an app or something. After the reset, only had one shutdown but the phone froze up a handful of times, slowed to a crawl other times and just experienced too many problems to serve as my daily driver.

I returned to M and it's usable again. Updated using OTA and stock. Not rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] FCORivers:
Mine didn't stick with ota version.

[Nexus 6  General] MeltdownSpectre:
Just installed the N OTA.

Settings and a few apps were stuttering a bit, however I'm in stock recovery now doing a cache wipe. Let's see how this goes.

Other than the slight stuttering, the preview is great. Everything works perfectly.

I also figured out how to fix the WhatsApp screenshot problem, I cropped the screenshot, just a little bit and then it sent fine. :)

Enjoying it so far.

Back and home keys not working in lmt for me.
[Nexus 6  General] kc2kzz:
First Try: I manually flashed everything except userdata over my Rooted March image (No xposed). Somewhat laggy at times, especially Hangouts and the camera. Also seemed the CPU was higher than it should have been. Things were clearly not right.

Second Try: I flashed the March Image, set everything up, did not Root. Then took the N OTA. After 2 days, over all everything seems to be working very well. Aside from the annoying missing library messages, the only app I seem to be having a problem with is tweetings locking up on occasion.
[Nexus 6  General] gavin19:
On my N6 was 95% solid, barring a few FCs and 1 random reboot. I reverted to M for a few reasons - mainly because I couldn't get Light Flow to work and some other apps I prefer like ASUS keyboard wouldn't fly either. Also, I'm used to the CPU/GPU overclock I get with custom kernels and I'd rather an OC'd M than vanilla N. I use a 380 DPI on M and on N some apps using the same DPI would display differently (like YouTube displaying in tablet mode). If I can get those things working then I'll jump back. I didn't see the split screen option either, as shown in the preview screenshots.

Edit: Might be worth compiling a list of broken apps so folks know what to expect.

Light Flow - LEDs don't work

BBC Sport - Starts up but no content loads

BBC iPlayer Radio - FC on startup

Google Now (On Tap) - Enabling it shows a FC of 'Google App'

Google Now - the 3-step voice training doesn't register when speaking

Anyone's Google Now not working after the Google patch yesterday? I get the "Google Now cannot be reached at the moment" error.

Mods: This corrected itself and is unrelated to N. You can delete this post.
[Nexus 6  General] Fuse8499:
I switched from M to N because my calls kept dropping every 10 seconds. It was insane. I have no idea if Xposed caused it or what. All I know is it happened on various Roms. My only problem on N is Gallery Vault doesn't work yet and all of my stuff is encrypted ?

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 PM ----------

Also I can't get Titanium Backup to restore my apps in N. It starts the restore process and just freezes on first app.

will on may 2 the monthly update is uploaded to the site so may be next week
[Nexus 6  General] johnciaccio:
This version seems worse then preview one for me. Needs to be restarted several times a day. Camera is VERY slow at HDR processing sometimes hanging the whole system. Generally more laggy then preview 1. All kinds of bluetooth issues including loosing connection to my watch requiring shutting off the bluetooth and restarting to regain connection. Lost all sound to my Sound Platform 2 which never had a singe issue in the past. Had to reflash the Preview 2 image to get sound back on bluetooth. However it still will not play sound after the first track with Google Play Music.

I really like the new ui changes so I'm still holding on until preview three.
[Nexus 6  General] refthemc:
For both previews it works great for a day and then it gets really sluggish after opening 1 app. After a couple reboots I always I go back to 6.0.1

in fixing problems?

Latest WhatsApp beta fixed the share menu

Although it took them 3weeks to solve it ?

I hope dp3 don't break it ?

[Nexus 6  General] cfrank38:
Its working for me short distances if you drive with Google maps some hours it was shutting down without error showing

Google maps. It was working good for small distances. If you were driving some hours it shut down without a reason. And some important programs for me had libraries problems. I'm installing security cams and I need the application for viewing the cams. And the software shut down with libraries problems
[Nexus 6  General] cfrank38:
I dont think Google will release dp3 before his developer event or what do you think ?
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
That might happen

if they have new features that they want to introduce in Google I/O first
[Nexus 6  General] :
I think they are hoping to get the first three previews done before the I/O. Based off the last preview, we should get 3 sometime this week.
[Nexus 6  General] abogrhen:
Will I want it today if possible ?

I am really bored ?

and don't mind trouble shooting a new beta?
[Nexus 6  General] Joe92T:
N Previews are killing me... If they only fix one single thing in Preview 3, have it be the slowness.

It will run fine when your lightly using it and then I swear to God the moment you actually need to do something important it turns slow as hell... wanna zip from one app to another quick? Nope... And let me tell ya. Don't even THINK about trying to use the camera and have it be quick
[Nexus 6  General] :
Seems like you having a bad time lol try Elite kernel, it seems to make it more stable
[Nexus 6  General] Outatime67:
I don't like it, but I can deal with the occasional instability. The thing killing me is battery life.

Not getting the slowness u mention. I am getting less battery life. I sideloaded the NDP2 OTA.

Nope just sets it. I can't get the lock screen wallpaper to change. If I set a wallpaper the lock screen one stays the same. Really annoying.

Edit: I figured it out. I had to go to settings\display\wallpapers then select Google now launcher. I then got the prompt for home\lock screen after selecting the pic

It doesn't seem to work in the rest of the settings screens though. It might just be a bug.

so the only hide it from ui tuner

Maybe because of instability
