[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew2926:
It should as long as you factory reset before flashing. Also, since you are on twrp 3.0.0-1, you can just flash the system.img and boot.img that are found in the factory images from google. Flashing these images is probably a better idea than flashing the zip since it won't mess with your bootloader or radio.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwebb34:
Hey guys I have a question. Is it possible to increase the ram on a device, like the nexus 6 or more 3 ? I was told that someone in my family can, to me that's hard to believe. Is there a chip or somthing on the motherboard.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigDig:
Of course you can't...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwebb34:
That's what I figured. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeplyyoung:
Can you elaborate more that what procedure and method you used to boot as secondary and also tell us is is rooted and Unencrypted?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcrompton:
K. So here's what I did ...... Downloaded the flashable zip listed here

Unzipped and removed all the radio and bootloader stuff and even removed the boot image. I then replaced with the no encryption N boot image from the development thread .... Rezipped

Flashed quickly as a secondary

Booted quickly as a secondary

My only problem is that when I flash the new SuperSU 2.69 the ROM won't boot anymore, at least from secondary
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Larzzzz82:
Can't you flash it and then swap swap the ROMs as primary in multi ROM? I had multi ROM in the past but it's not installed right now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonsymack:
also having some issues. Loaded as secondary but when i select it, i don't even get a Google logo...screen just goes black~

Any input is much appreciated
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew2926:
Just wanted to let everyone know that I am currently working on putting together a folder (not a flashable zip) that will contain everything needed in order to install the Android N Developer Preview 1 in TWRP 3.0.0-1, decrypted and rooted. Along with my folder, I am going to include a detailed README that will instruct users on how to flash everything so that it boots, the device is decrypted, and SuperSU is installed. I have been playing around with everything all day and it appears that there is a specific order to flash everything so that the desired results are achieved. So far, I have found that if my specific flashing order is not followed, the device will encrypt itself and erase TWRP upon first boot. Still perfecting everything but the basis of my work is how to flash the stock system.img, stock boot.img, SuperSU, and ElementalX kernel so that TWRP remains and the device boots. Stay tuned:good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcrompton:
For me I just never flashed the stock boot image. I actually took the boot image out of the flashable zip so that it would be sure and not flash. Then I flashed one of the decrypted boot images. That way I didn't do what I did the first time which cost me a complete device wipe
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew2926:
If that worked for you, power to you man. My biggest issue with flashing that "flashable zip" (which is really a Google OTA) is that it flashes the bootloader and radio every single time, which is quite dangerous as it could lead to a hard brick. Additionally, my goal is to actually keep the Marshmallow bootloader and radio as they are considered to be the latest stable releases of these components. I'm going to finish up my testing through tomorrow and will hopefully have my folder and process done sometime tomorrow, for those that want to run my setup. Not trying to slam you in any way though, you do you:good:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcrompton:
Yeah sorry I forgot to mention, of course, in addition to removing the boot image I removed the bootloader and radio files as well. Basically left just the system image. But the zip still flashes of you just re zip it after removing

can i flash this in f2fs partition with twrp?????
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile_maniac:
How do I gain root access after flashing these .img files? Do I flash the latest SuperSU after flashing the images?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew2926:
Yep, flash in this order: system.img, boot.img, SuperSU. I would also recommend flashing a custom kernel that disables forced encryption as I have found that SuperSU isn't very effective at disabling it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
SuperSU doesn't disable encryption, and its not meant to. all SuperSU does is give you root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew2926:
Oh ok, that makes sense then. I would definitely recommend flashing a custom kernel that disables encryption to anyone hoping to test out N and prevent TWRP from getting wiped.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, custom kernel that allows decryption :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile_maniac:
Thanks a lot! This helped. But unfortunately, Titanium Backup is not working with Android N at the moment. I wanted root access to restore the apps, as I have quite a few apps and I did not want to waste my bandwidth on restoring them through google play store. Probably will revert back to Pure Nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can always back up your apps, then make a flashable zip of your app backup, then flash it in twrp. its much faster that way. and titanium is working on N, with root.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile_maniac:
Will try to make a zip file from my backup. Let's see if I can flash it through TWRP. I have root on Android N, but when I try to restore, it gets stuck on the 1st app itself.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
odd. maybe you should let it sit there a few minutes? ir try to uninstal titaniun, reboot, then install it again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile_maniac:
Will give this a try soon.

i only started doung that with titanium as of recently, as i didnt know it did that. but since ive found out..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidphilev:
Hi Simms,

Bit off-topic:

You will get some problems with TiBU zips. It never really worked correctly. Most of the problems are with app data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belek1979:
Why SuperSU isn't effective at disabling forced encryption? I was flashing system.img/boot.img and then SuperSU hundreds times and never became encryption....
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
thanks.. but so far its been problem free, considering that i dont care about most my app data :)

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

supersu does absolutely nothing to stop encryption.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belek1979:
So why when I flash system.img and boot.img and then SuperSU, I stay unencrypted?

SuperSU modifies boot to not force encryption.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
as far as i know, it doesnt do that, unless it was added later on. as far as i know, you still need a kernel that allows for you to be decrypted(a boot.img is a kernel).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belek1979:
Modification, letting one stay decrypted, was added to SuperSU some time ago. You don't need a kernel. Just flash SuperSU zip after flash system and boot omg to stay unencrypted
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwdan:
I flashed N today.. I had to download/install the app then I could restore the data with. Titanium backup. I couldn't get adaway to work. Said that it couldn't copy host file.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Now decrypted, fkernel r42, lite rom Danvdh.

After reading this thread I flashed only the System.img of Android N with TWRP 3.0.0.1.

Reboot - boot animation.........[stop]
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
well, flashing only the system.img, would allow you to stay unencrypted, since your kernel does that. BUT.. I highly doubt that a 6.0.1 kernel would boot N up. youd need a N kernel that allows decryption, and there are a few now. flash one, youll boot and stay unencrypted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwdan:
I agree with you, after I read your post about how you did it, I did it that way. It's been running perfectly for me.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Just downloaded the flashable zip with N-preview. Just to be sure I extracted the 'boot.img' and saw that 'forceencrypt' is set. That's not what I want.

Changed the boot.img to 'encryptable' and flashed the chabged boot.img and system.img of the N-preview.

Did not work. Reboot always ended with TWRP.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Just to let you know that. I changed the boot.IMG of N to 'encryptable' and flashed boot.img + system.img of N-preview.

Did not work. Reboot ended in every time in recovery TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwdan:
I used the boot.img from this thread http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/android-n-preview-npc56p-twrp-recovery-t3332599 and the "system.img" from the factory img and su2.70..booted right and it didn't force encryption or wipe internal sd. If you don't have the bootloader and radio.. Follow the thread.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
Thx. I will try again with another boot.IMG from this thread. I will report about it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:

Use boot.img from the factory image and immediately from bootloader/twrp SuperSU - you will stay unencrypted because SuperSU modifies force encryption
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I did that and it worked.

N booted and my data was kept and srayen unencrypted.

But..... many apps did not work (forced close).

Night mode is not what I expected. Too white.

Google has still a lot of work to do

At last some experiments. Flashed the cataclysm mod (complete and some parts). Did not work. Stopped at boot animation.

Restored M and the cata-mod and my dark themes. IMO that is better than Android N-preview.

BTW thanks for your info. See you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vxkillswitchxv37:
Did you take anything out of the zip file such as bootloader files. Or did you just download and flash the zip without modifying it?

As my Nexus 6 is dead after I tried Android N.

I moved on with Nexus 6P.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Toss3:
So I bought a new screen protector for my phone today, but upon opening the package I noticed that it doesn't even cover the whole screen (leaves approx. 2mm on both sides unprotected). So stay away from this piece of crap! It was also pretty expensive at 14,90€. I have already contacted both the reseller and manufacturer to notify them about the problem, and hopefully they will sort it out. Attached a picture below.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] whoamanwtf:
The kicked to this is if you use one that does cover the screen (Zagg) It does not sit on the screen on the edges where yours does not go. The screen is curved quite a bit and it is enough that you will probably have to use one of the plastic guards if you use one instead of glass unfortunately.
[Xposed General] Firerouge:
Has anyone attempted to flash the SDK 23 version of xposed on top of the Android N Preview?
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
If you are brave enough: backup your current device and give it a try.

EDIT: in my opinion it is rather meaningless to ask for Android N support yet, as there are at least seven month until a "final" release will hit the market. If the current Xposed version doesn't work, there will be no need to create some workarounds, as the current version is more or less a preview of a preview and there are lots of code-base changes to be expected. I guess it will take some more month until a valid support will be established.
[Xposed General] jfpbookworm:
I'm brave enough. Also foolish, because the only superuser I have been able to achieve won't let me r/w to system, so I can't install modules. And even if I could, odds are that all but the simplest modules would fail.

Regardless, it didn't boot.
[Xposed General] yanleites:
The new android has many Gravitybox stuff, so I can live without Xposed I think...
[Xposed General] martin2dn@gmail.com:
so?
[Xposed General] Wiltron:
Tried last night.

The XPosed SDK23 checks for proper API Level upon installation - and refuses to install if you're different.

TL;DR: If you're not on MM, the MM installer won't work.
[Xposed General] FoxysWorkplace:
I modified the zip script

and removed the api check. The resulting system dies at dex (compiling apps, including systemui). However there are websites claiming the Universal Systemless Xposed Installer will work on Nougat if you first flash Magisk and use the Material Design Xposed Installer (not to be confused with Materialized module) and phh's Superuser apps in place of Official Xposed Installer and SuperSU! I am about to give it a try on a Nexus 6!
[Xposed General] tarroyo:
Any luck?
[Xposed General] Curiousn00b:
Guys... That would never work. If it did, what's the point of SDK versions?

Just like when Marshmallow was released, SDK22 would NOT work whatsoever on 6.0. same if you go back another version using the previous version of Xposed.

Don't try to install it, as it just bricks. That's why the API checker is there.
[Xposed General] FoxysWorkplace:
It was worth a shot

Sadly those websites are bogus clickbait to generate ad views. (Apparently) I can confirm that flashing Magisk on Android N causes the bootstrap to fail without even flashing Xposed yet. I even tried playing with the install flags. Sorry everyone I'll continue to investigate other solutions.

To those who said it is stupid and pointless to try what I did: Tinkering and breaking the rules of common sense are how many advancements have been discovered. Your posts are negative and unconstructive, nearly a violation of XDA rules. Please try not to be so abusive for the sake of the community.
[Xposed General] CappyT:
Without bricks, we wouldn't have houses...
[Xposed General] moneybag:
Just flashed Nougat on my N7 and now I miss Xposed. :(
[Xposed General] Curiousn00b:
False. You have houses made of other things. ;D

But honestly, you're just bricking your device by flashing the wrong SDK version. If you want to begin porting it instead of messing with the install script to the Xposed for the wrong version of Android, maybe contact RomRacer. He ported Xposed to 5.0/5.1 before Rovo released an official version, so he can help you out maybe, but you need permission from Rovo to release a working version.

Good luck.

[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION]

Will there be any chance that Xposed supports Android Nougat?
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
Unfortunately, Android Nougat will be the only Android version that will not support Xposed. This is due to the fact that Nougat is a delicious, but creamy thing, that glues together all command lines when melted.

*sarcasm turned off

There will be support for Android Nougat, be patient like everyone else. If any news arise, rovo89 will make an official statement.

[Xposed General] moneybag:

[Xposed General] tech_head:
I won't update without Xposed and GravityBox.

I'll pass on N until they are ready. ANyway, what does N really give that you can't get with Xposed?
[Xposed General] Fraught:
Nothing, really, it's just that the features you get are more refined and prettier, like multi-window and quick reply. Not to mention that since it has multi-window officially incorporated into an Android release, it'll have MUCH better support from apps for multi-window, while enabling it through unofficial methods is, and will be, much buggier. Also, there's some back-end features which aren't as immediately obvious, like Vulkan support etc.

With that said, there is NO way I am upgrading to N before Xposed is made available for it. I use some important modules that N will officially never, ever support, like Youtube Background Playback (which is honestly probably the most important thing for me on my phone, beyond, y'know, the phone functions), App Settings (used to give me tablet layouts for specific apps like Youtube and Gmail, which I've gotten too used to to switch from now), random lockscreen modification modules (Bright Lockscreen, Clean Lockscreen, Lock screen clock mods etc, and I'm not sure how much lockscreen customization N offers, but I'm pretty sure it's not enough for me), and so on.

With that said, I'm scouring through XDA like a rabid animal, waiting for Xposed to be released for it so I can jump ship ASAP. That multi-window looks great and super useful, and I've been kinda disappointed by build.prop editing-related multi-window features in MM.
[Xposed General] yanleites:
I always used Xposed, but I don't see a reason to wait.

Many features I used GravityBox for are already in the Android 7. I use newpipe.apk to play youtube background, and I can give permissions per app so I don't need app settings.

I think it's worth upgrading!
[Xposed General] king3opobn:
How about youtube ads? That's my only reason
[Xposed General] yanleites:
Don't really bothers me...
[Xposed General] king3opobn:
So newpipe plays the ads?
[Xposed General] yanleites:
I don't really know.

[Xposed General] Cares:
Youtube Adaway and Youtube Background Play are the two biggest things I'd miss by not having Xposed. Everything else I can live without.
[Xposed General] king3opobn:
So I'm using New Pipe w/ VLC as external player for background play, swipe to seek, volume control, and brightness controller gestures. No ads!
[Xposed General] ldeveraux:
Doesn't adaway remove the YouTube ads for you? It does for me.
[Xposed General] Cares:
Not with the default hosts. Did you alter it? I would like to test it.

Why did you edit my quote to include Adblock? I would never use that mess.
[Xposed General] king3opobn:

Anything is worth trying, make sure to do a backup first that way if you brick your phone (which I'd give it an 90/10 chance of doing so) you can just restore your backup and everything will be fine
[Xposed General] mcmb03:
No brick or anything. Looking at the install script, it checks your sdk and just outputs an error if not on that version without modifying files.
[Xposed General] whezzel:
If you pay for the $10/month Google music subscription you get access to all the music in the google play music app. Also you get a free subscription to YouTube red which gives you official ad free playback and background playback.

It is a much smoother experience than both of the mentioned xposed modules plus if you have an Android TV you get ad free videoson there too. The YouTube AdBlock module never blocked ads for my android tv (becuase xposed is on my phone and not my tv)

Anyways just thought I'd throw that out there for people that must have ad free videos and background playback
[Xposed General] gregfrankenstein:
Not usually. I mean it might for about a day until YouTube changes things around. YouTube AdAway is the only reliable method. More importantly, AdAway doesn't yet work on Nougat either. It fails to copy the host file every time.

My problem with that is for those devices that have been updated to Nougat, I won't get security patches if I stay on Marshmallow. This will become even more of an issue for me if CM14 comes out before SDK 24 does.
[Xposed General] whezzel:
I use AdAway on 7.0 and the 7.1 beta. Install magisk v8, the systemless mod manager, then install AdAway and point the settings to replace /magisk/.core/hosts. It will complain that there is a missing symlink to the hosts file on /system but with the way magisk works it doesn't need the symlink. Other than that it works perfect for blocking ads

If you don't want to go through that hassle then you can pay for a YouTube red subscription and it removes ads and allows background playback
