Any chance you'll be preparing the same for DP5? Most grateful for you work here mate.
[Nexus 6P General] buckmarble:
It appears that the issue is directly tied to being encrypted. I went through the headache of backing up and wiping userdata last night and getting into twrp was no issue at all. As soon as I re-encrypted, i was no longer able to get into twrp again.

Hey guys, has anyone had any success getting Viper4Android up and running on DP5? If so, would you mind sharing how you did it? The two flashable zips I have been using on stock MM don't seem to work on DP5

Can someone remind me how to get rid of the developer program popup every time i restart my phone ?. I did it on preview 4 but don't remember and can find my note about it . Thanks .
[Nexus 6P General] DebauchedSloth:
I tried it myself. Seems much better.

There's some sort of setting related to bluetooth volume in the developer options - might want to tweak that and see if it helps with your volume problem.

Are you guys referring to answering phone calls from lock screen? If so.... damn.
[Nexus 6P General] likonvampire:
Calls can be answered from the lock screen. Messages working as before , hit reply and it will ask for your lock pattern/code and then you respond.

All good here !
[Nexus 6P General] noooooo:
Nope, in dp4 you could answer without need to enter pin
[Nexus 6P General] narcosis34:
Guys how i enable dark more in dp5 ?
[Nexus 6P General] elreydenj:
Correct. It was a newly added setting to the notifications setting menu when you hit the cog in that menu.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Does DP5 come with an updated new radio ?
[Nexus 6P General] Arzee08:
Yep
[Nexus 6P General] likonvampire:
Ok so I am confused now I have always used the replies as I stated above . How can I answer without the passcode ? Is it removed ?
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
In preview 4, you could reply to a text from the lock screen, just like you would in iOS. You didn't need to enter a pin, you would only be able to reply to the text and that is it. Seems to be gone in this one. I've gotten used to that feature so j think I'm gonna roll back to preview 4. It's not like I had any real issues with preview 4 so it's worth it
[Nexus 6P General] BigDRim:
Anyone got the beta program OTA yet?
[Nexus 6P General] kenshiroSG24:
Just download the OTA and side load it. That's what I did instead of waiting for a few more days until you get the OTA direct.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikulec:
Just a wild guess, try to disable lockscreen security and then enable it again, it should ask if you want to have that feature.

[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Encryption could be a problem here. First off, use a decrypted boot.img, flash it, wipe internal storage. After that, you will be good to go. :good:
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Did you flash your bootloader and vendor files back back to a mm?

[Nexus 6P General] indian84:
OK Guys. Apologies in advance if I am being stupid. I am coming from OnePlus One Forums. So I believe, I will be excused for a few stupid questions.

Now to the topic - I just bought 6P from one of my friends. Currently running Chroma and latest TWRP. Is there a Flashable zip for N Preview?

I have been a nexus user for a couple of years with N4 and N5, went to OPO as N6 was way to big and expensive for me. I am OK with ADB and Fastboot commands. I cannot do that on 6P as I do not have USB C to USB A cable to hook the device to my Windows PC. So until i get hold of a cable, no flashing N Preview for me. That's the reason i am checking if there is a flashable zip of N Preview.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
No, not yet.
[Nexus 6P General] indian84:
So, the waiting game begins. For my USB cable to arrive or someone to make a flashable zip.
[Nexus 6P General] dsmitty166:
Actually there is. I think it was post #105

[Nexus 6P General] todorcim:
There has been a few people who have flashed N with chainfires flashfire. It's like mobile Odin just n for other devices not just Samsung.
[Nexus 6P General] mochamoo:
I am encrypted. Was on DP4. Used flashfire to flash DP5. Deselected the data partition. Selected everroot. Worked like a charm. Bootlooped 2 or 3 times but then it was fine. I don't really have a need for TWRP at this point. Flashfire and titanium backup does most anything that I need and I can pull my sdcard to my laptop for backup just fine. It would be nice to get a nandroid though. I saw where you could flash a marshmallow vendor.img only and then do whatever you want in twrp and then flash a nougat vendor.img when done. Has anyone tried this method? I want to stay encrypted if I can.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Mine wasn't working. Go to settings>notifications> then press the cog. You get a button that turns the pulse led on.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Sorry for the newb question here;

Isn't there a way doing this all in TWRP Recovery ? Going from a MM ROM to Beta preview 5 ?

I am currently on a Marshmallow ROM, I forgot the steps to run the latest Developer Preview ? Obviously in TWRP Recovery wipe and system erase everything, and then what ? Flash the new vendor img. ? And also a new Beta 5 ROM ? Or is the new vendor img. all I need ?
[Nexus 6P General] dthiery:
I just tried that and it didn't make a difference.
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
You need to unzip DP5 and pull the system.img, vendor.img, and the boot.img. By default, the boot is encrypted but if you flash SuperSU before booting up, it will patch it and disable the forced encryption.

Alternatively, you can flash the modified boot provided earlier in the thread. Just select the flash image option in TWRP and flash each image to its corresponding partition.
[Nexus 6P General] Shaglok:
I've got that enabled, but led still not working. Maybe the modified boot.img? People who don't work, are you rooted?
[Nexus 6P General] danielrod:
Thank you very much for explaining that. And this doesn't wipe user data, correct?
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
Nope, just system, boot, and vendor (the partitions you flashed). If you are on Marshmallow though I recommend that you do wipe user data though
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Thank you, couple questions please;

-Is the DP5 zip in the first post, first page in this thread ?

-I then download DP5, and extract to desktop, and pull those specific files, and throw onto my SD/Card ?

-Then reboot into TWRP Recovery, and flash all three of those specific files into each specific category ?

-And then lastly flash the latest SuperSU zip in Recovery, to keep the system decrypted ?

Thx

[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
The best implementation Google put in was in DP1, but it's been downhill since...
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
You'll want to download the package from Google here:

https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html#device-preview

The file will be in .tgz format. If you look inside the file, you'll find the full Rom zip file that contains the system.img, etc.

You can do it from your computer and move the files over, but I just do it from my phone.

And yes flash SuperSU to maintain decrypted data
[Nexus 6P General] ArmStrongDickPunch:
Ok just wanted to double check before I update to dp5 from dp4

I'm going to use FlashFire

So flash modified boot (so I have root and unencrypted), vendor, bootloader, and system imgs and that's it right or am I missing something? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
Thanks and just flash any newer SuperSU ? We don't need a special version ?
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
Dark mode is gone. They decided to remove it. It was posted on Reddit. Here's the quote, "This one has been my pet feature for a while… So there were two “night mode” features in N DP that you might be referring to: dark theme (via -night qualifier) and screen tinting.

The former, dark theme, was a modification to Material that would automatically switch between light and dark variants based on UiModeManager’s night mode setting. Which was awesome, and I know a lot of people really liked seeing a dark theme in Settings; however, in both M and N the dark theme feature had to be reverted because of ecosystem problems. As simple as we tried to make it, implementing dark theme meant doing twice as much design work and twice as much verification that visual styling was implemented correctly. It wasn’t a good allocation of design and engineering resources. In many places, like WebView, it simply wasn’t possible to convert content to a dark theme while preserving the content author’s original intent. Leaving a half-working feature in the platform, where developers would be expected to support it, wasn’t acceptable. So I’ve had to personally kill the feature twice, and ultimately it’s been for the benefit of the platform."

Here's the article I found this from though, http://www.droid-life.com/2016/07/19/android-engineer-team-took-reddit-ama-heres-recap/
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
Yeah any new version should work. I've been using .71 though
[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Thanks m8. I gave up hope a while back and have using Layers\Magpie. Not as simple as DP1's Dark Mode, but I like it a lot.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
I recall last month on DP4 I thought I installed it mich easier method ?

Could have sworn someone had just 2 files for me to flash in TWRP Recovery, and thst was it. Obviously first preforming a full wipe being on MM, but I thought there was a super easy fast way ? Just flash couple things, and bam done, reboot into Android N DP4.

There not the same way for DP5 ?

Ok I downloaded and extracted the angler.tgz file onto my desktop.

The three files I need out of that zip, are;

- bootloader-angler-angler-03.58 .img ?

- radio-angler-angler-03.72 .img ?

- And the large 1.188GB zip " image-angler-npd90g" ?

I throw all three of those onto my sd/card, do a full system wipe, etc... and then which order to I flash each one ?

In TWRP does it give me the option to flash the bootloader and flash the radio ? I don;t recall having to do that in DP4 last time, I just had one or two files only that I flashed and was super easy and quick, I don't remember having all these files to flash last time ?
[Nexus 6P General] skw5115:
The files you need are inside the image-angler-npd90g.zip file. You need to install system.img, vendor.img, and boot.img from there. After you install those, then install SuperSU

Edit: someone made a zip file for dp4 that you could just install in twrp which is probably what you remember.
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:
And I can do all of that in TWRP ?
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Use the OTA zip from here:

https://developer.android.com/preview/download-ota.html#ota-images

Flash the modified boot image from [MENTION=790321]bouchigo[/MENTION] on page 213 of this thread.

Then flash supersu.

Make sure you don't boot without flashing the modified boot first!

All done in minutes in twrp.

- Go into TWRP Recovery, do a full system wipe, etc...

- Then flash the boot.img in TWRP ? Which tab is that in Recovery ? Is that the vendor image tab ?

- Then flash the large 1.1GB zip ?

- And then flash the latest SuperSU ?
[Nexus 6P General] DaveHTC200:
Amended your post in the correct order ?

Edit: I noticed I had to reflash su after first boot, as it hadn't shown up but that could have just been something my end.

How is prev. 5? I read that it is very slow?
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
I noticed a slow down straight away. It seems after a reboot that everything takes longer to load up. It's smooth though. And I've not had any of the freezes I experienced with 4. Not once and that's after a couple of days use. The wifi quick setting is fixed which is pretty good. I hope full blown nougat seems a little snappier!

Edit: I wonder if the slowdown is due to perception? My phone definitely takes longer to boot and particularly for apps which use root to load up. However now I've played around for a minute opening apps and watching transitions/animations and it does seem very snappy!
[Nexus 6P General] Zorachus:

From the earlier post I have read, and from my own experience, you are not the typical user of DP5. Perhaps you should read more and see if maybe you did something wrong instead of throwing a damp blanket over a developer's preview of a good product. Is it perfect? No. Is it as bad as you say? No.

[Nexus 6P General] wilbarger:
Instead of calling me a jerk, how about your read and try to help yourself. You are alone in your issues. Does it not occur to you that you might be the problem? You make a post about how bad the sw is, but not any steps that you have taken to try to resolve your issue other than to reload SU and rebooting.

Hey guys I'm having a bit of an issue.. I just (semi) clean flashed dp5 from dp4. I was having mad issues on dp4 (i'm assuming from the previous dirty flash), so i decided i would clean flash dp5.

I backed up my data, booted twrp, advanced wipe, checked system, data, cache, dalvik.

I then fastboot flashed DP5 with modified boot for decrypted.

Everything working perfectly.... but then my phone flipped into Night Mode automatically. The one with the red tint for well... night time.

It was kinda convenient since it's night time here. But after looking through UI tuner and quick settings toggles, there's no option to toggle it. So as it is right now, it appears I'm stuck in night mode.....
