I've made the following:

1. rolled back to Marshmallow

2. got rooted and TWRP again

3. made backup for my rom, all other user data "photos, apks,...."

4. booted to TWRP and formatted DATA "the lower right option when choosing wipe option from the main menu "it will FORMAT your user data completely", because this error is just because my phone was encrypted.

5. I rebooted phone into recovery again.

6. sideloaded the new OTA for the second N preview that been available yesterday., you may not use sideload and manually flash .img files that included in the .tgz image from google, flash all with fastboot flash commands except boot.img "you'll need to download the new build's hacked boot.img file posted in XDA today", also don't flash recovery.img.

7. after installing, you can flash boot.img & TWRP img file with fastboot commandsor through "Nexus Root Toolkit".

8. you can use "CF-Auto-Root-angler-angler-nexus6p-v2.70" for rooting your phone.

hope I could make it easy for everyone.

I f-ing love the look of Android n .
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Well actually it is TWRP that is having issues. The previous version (v3.0.0-0) however works fine for now.
[Nexus 6P General] cutmylifein2:
google has posted flashable zip files for android n dp2.

can i just flash it like any other rom? like goinf in twrp wiping data, cache system and dalvik and then flashing the rom and then new super su 2.71

will i lose twrp post flashing(i am on twrp 3.0.0.0)

and if i flash back any marshmallow custom rom, will i be able to do it?

thanx DJ in advance
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Those actually are the OTA zips. I haven't tried the method you stated. But yes, if I am on latest MM stock or DP1, I was able to update without any problems and I didn't need to wipe any partitions.

About TWRP staying persistent, I am not sure about it. However, I am onto it. Will check and let you know.
[Nexus 6P General] koupa:
I have problem with the back camera. I can't remember what's I have to flash.

[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Mate, how are you "minimizing" the Camera app and then reloading it? (I'm feeling pretty dumb right now - probably something very obvious). I cannot get any camera app to actually connect and work.
[Nexus 6P General] Grudgie:
How is Prev 2 as a daily driver?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
The preview is great, only if app support is not your concern. For me, my basic apps work pretty good, including WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, Page Manager, Android Wear, Amazon app, Ampere, Uber, and Swiftkey.

I just flashed ElementalX 3.01 on the Preview 2, and it did relieve me off the lags, that I occasionally got.

My Setup - N Preview 2 + ElementalX 3.01 + Root = Awesomeness! :highfive:

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Camera is running and clicking all fine. Tested with modified boot.img and EX 3.01.
[Nexus 6P General] ManMOuntain:
Now I'm rooted again, I'm happy using as daily driver. Haven't encountered any issues.
[Nexus 6P General] bmg1001:
When the Camera app loads and doesn't work, there is the "Can't connect to Camera" message and I just press the dismiss button on the message or the home button, then I open the app again and it usually works.
[Nexus 6P General] Grudgie:
Thanks! Downloading now.. :)

Edit: Okay and this was weird. The update was downloading.. then it was installing.. screen went black and then i got a error message. Rebooted the phone and now i dont have a N update. How can i get the update back? OTA
[Nexus 6P General] simorangkir_dcs:
How is elementalx kernel with the N preview? Is it based on the latest stock firmware?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
It's definitely great! Completely stable plus it has the EX features for customizing various kernel attributes.

Anyone have issues with Xiaomi Mi Band 1S and Mi Fit app on the new N Preview?

The phone recognizes the Band and the Mi Band Tools app too.

But the f@@@in Mi Fit app does not pair the Band.

[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
It's a known issue and might be fixed when the next release comes up.

Already mentioned in the Release notes: http://developer.android.com/intl/es/preview/support.html

Scroll down to Known issues section.

I don't quite understand. What were you downloading, exactly?
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
[MENTION=3998397]DJBhardwaj[/MENTION] It seems like you know what your talking about so just to confirm, I have never flashed a beta before, but it looks like the only way to root is to format userdata to decrypt and then flash the modifed boot img?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Before we go to that, what ROM do you currently have installed, and is your storage already decrypted?
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Just yesterday I flashed the 2nd N preview over stock marshmallow so I am still encrypted, which I am assuming is why twrp doesn't load.
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
For TWRP, you could try switching to v3.0.1-0.

Over to decryting:

Flash the modified boot.img

And then use the following command to wipe off the storage:

fastboot format userdata
fastboot format cache

Finally Reboot:

fastboot reboot

Oh, it's good now. Even better with ElementalX kernel. :highfive:
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Of course, MM is deadly stable right now. Totally agreed.

Anyways, It is subjective. I could spare a bit of battery life for the features.
[Nexus 6P General] jamaniek:
I recommend using Flashfire if you don't wanna decrypt. Works for my needs :)
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
How did you get root if you are encrypted
[Nexus 6P General] jamaniek:
CF-Auto root
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
On preview 2? I tried a cf auto root but it didn't work but maybe it was an older version?
[Nexus 6P General] jamaniek:
Yep. It's only partial root, but I flashed systemless zip for Adaway via Flashfire and it seems to work just fine.

EDIT: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/gener...er-preview-t3358173/post66358671#post66358671
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
But you still can't use twrp though right
[Nexus 6P General] Yathani:
On preview 2 I noticed that if i shoot a video while the phone is locked, I can play the video without unlocking the phone. Previously only picture can be viewed.

Fast charging is working properly? and you can send images on whatsapp?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
You could trust our word here itself, my friend. Just for your satisfaction, here are a few screenshots.
[Nexus 6P General] e753:
Thank you for the thread, it is really helpful.

I managed to flash Android N and everything is great, but there is a big problem: I cannot use the recovery.

I read that 3.0.2-0 does not work (in fact i got stuck with the image) si I tried the 3.0.1-0 and 3.0.0-1 but I cannot see any file! If I try to install a file I can just select a folder but every folder is empty (and I am sure to have few zip file inside)!

What do u suggest me to do?

Thank you!

Once they get Bluetooth sorted, this will be my daily driver. I use my phone for streaming music in the car and to my fitness tracker.
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Where did you get an adaway zip?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
You are not able to mount, because the /data partition has not be decrypted, and hence no files are visible. To deal with this, you will need to decrypt.
[Nexus 6P General] Simer03:
use 2.8.7 version
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Will there eventually be a new twrp that can decrypt?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Yes I hope. Once the complete N source is out, the bug will probably be resolved.

Did you try v3.0.0-1?
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Ya the older ones can load into twrp but can't mount internal storage... Wait would usb otg work?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Do you have your storage encrypted?

Yes, USB OTG should work.
[Nexus 6P General] Chilidog:
Ya I'm still encrypted I don't feel like wiping everything but I guess a twrp backup won't work unless I do...
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Exactly.
[Nexus 6P General] Funkym0nkey:
Its mostly great but there are some issues. The multitasking cards sometimes turn completely transparent for me. So you cant see any preview. Just glass card with the app name. Not the huge issue.

Some apps still have issues. E.g. I go to different places in city a lot and when searching for local food joints, Zomato has selection issue from the search results where top result cannot be clicked.

Some games have minor issues. Clash Royale has hiccups during gameplay every now and then after few minutes of gaming. Throttling is not handled as well on N as of now as it is on M.

The BT issue is well documented.

Other than this, a lot has changed since the dev preview 1. Lot of apps have received updates and they now work fine with Preview 2. Phone is largely stable. Can be used as a daily driver if you are ready to ignore these minor bugs.
[Nexus 6P General] intruda119:
What Bluetooth issues are guys having.

I stream music 8+ hrs a day, phones calls and other normal voice stuff with a LG tone infinim and no issues including marshmallow. Also use a cheap generic Bluetooth adapter in car.

I streamed Pandora on a 2 hour drive this morning via bluetooth and didn't have one single issue. Not sure what it is.

Bringing my work from the N6 to the N6P! all files: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=54255

this is a hopefully working flashable zip FOR NPC91k. there are flashable radios & bootloader in the folder which are confirmed working.

the mod is just something you flash over the system, kinda like cataclysm. it includes speed ups, stability improvements and other tweaks.

the N6 thread is in my sig if you want more info. I will be posting a thread later but i would like to here from users if the system flashable works.

the mod works fine just dirty flash if you already have N

Hey, I visited your thread for the Nexus 6 briefly and opened this mod zip for a gander. All I did was remove the fonts folder as I'd like my emoji unchanged. Flashed just now over the latest N(k), rooted with ElemenalX. So far so good. Thanks for sharing. I'll report further when you have your own thread. Cheers
[Nexus 6P General] :
can you test the system flashable? all you have to do is just dirty flash and then reflash mod. just need to know if it works. don't have a 6p sadly..

The mod, or the full system zip he has posted there as well? (1.10GB)

Does anyone know how to disable wi-fi scanning and enable battery percentage?

Wifi scanning is in the triple dot menu of location settings and battery percentage is in the system UI tuner but it doesn't stay after reboot.

I just came across a thread about Android N and viper, but for the life of me, I can't find it now. Does anyone knows how to make viper work on N?
[Nexus 6P General] slipmeknot:
Try checking it here
[Nexus 6P General] ttminh1997:
Thank you! I knew I saw the flashable zips somewhere!

If anyone runs into any trouble running viper4android, go to [MENTION=2669141]gubacsek[/MENTION] thread and flash this zip first (MD5: f0f219552ace44e5f12297403f5fc8e3), which replaces the stock logd with a modified logd that supports permissive mode and then this zip (MD5: ab3584c4044659653d3ec30f9732a50f), which sets permissive at boot.

All credit goes to [MENTION=2669141]gubacsek[/MENTION] for modifying the logd, and [MENTION=790321]bouchigo[/MENTION] for making the flashable zips. For more information and discussion, please visit his thread here.

Seems like layers works with light themes or navbar/statusbar only themes. Couldn't get layers to work with transparent or dark themes, because the font is dark against dark background in certain system apps and notification.
[Nexus 6P General] DAE1964:
I agree contacts was my issue dark with dark text. Grrrrr.
[Nexus 6P General] force70:
Ah ok.

The thing is we can already flash system, boot and vendor .imgs via twrp so no real need for zips.

The BL and radio are a diff story. awesome if he got those working and flashable in zipped format in twrp...thats a big one.

Sent from my Note 5 or Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] ttminh1997:
Holy crap what kind of voodoo magic is this! I just flashed it and gladly report that it works flawlessly with Android N, provided that you set up permissive kernel beforehand. Either way, it's much more stable than the official zip, as I don't lose viper and have to disable and re-enable viper everytime I unplug my headphones.
[Nexus 6P General] :
awesome if I got them working? they do work lol

thanks for testing!

Battery percentage does survive reboot, but if you go back into the System UI settings, it will reset to default (no percentage) and you'll have to set it again. Have a good one!

Can someone test this.........

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzgUrWZ7XZ0rQmtnYlRGaTdzVnM/view?usp=docslist_api

This should -should being the keyword, get you to the new build of N via TWRP. Just download the Zip and swap the META-INF folder in the OTA zip with the one in the link.

I don't have my USB type C plug to connect to my rig. So if someone can test this I would appreciate it.

I'm writing a TWRP to go from any 6.x.x build to the new test build tonight. My new cable will be in tomorrow. I really need a cmd line to make all this work properly and test on my own device before mass people flash things and think the sky is falling.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Stuck at boot animation for the past 5 minutes.

There was a red "Unknown command" text towards the end of the flashing process, however it flashed successfully.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
Did you flash anything before or after? Also a wipe might fix it.
[Nexus 6P General] DirtyDroidX:
OK, I set up a emulator and can get most Angler builds on 6.x.x AOSP base to the new preview. It involves a modified boot.img. The cache partition is getting corrupted for some reason when ART is building cache on first boot IF cache is wiped after flash or anything else is flashed to system. Again this is prior to first boot.

Also, init is kicking errors due to files not getting linked up properly. That's a code issue on there end. I am looking at logs now.

I will keep everyone posted.

I've been running on Android N for few days and I noticed some lags and stutter and when I looked at the ram usage it says only 300mb free ram out of 2.7 gigs. Thats quite high, right? After I cleared some recent apps, the lag is gone so I assume it's a memory leak problem.

Anyone having the same problem?

My setting:

Android N, preview 2

ElementalX kernel 3.01

[Nexus 6P General] Michael in ATL:
Exact same problems here, with same configuration, and with same solution. It has gotten better with each version, but still a significant issue.

All that said, I'm still using it as daily driver, and lovin' N. Surely it'll continue to be refined with new versions. I keep a widget on home screen to kill open processes, and it clears lag for several hours.
[Nexus 6P General] simorangkir_dcs:

I'm running same setup + Nova Launcher will freeze randomly.

Android N preview 2

ElementalX 3.01

Nova Launcher
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Try without Nova Launcher, and see if the freeze continues. In case it goes off, you might want to wait until Nova releases an update with better N compatability.
[Nexus 6P General] bouchigo:
I'm running Preview 2 with Nova Launcher, and stock kernel...I get no such freezing on Nova Launcher. Maybe try the stock kernel, or kernel other than ElementalX. Or, maybe there's some other underlying issue/app/change you made that's causing the freezing?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Then for sure Nova is fine. [MENTION=4597357]DAE1964[/MENTION] why not try some other custom kernel that supports N Preview? Kylo is a good option, and I see many users reporting it to be working pretty good.

Before making the transition, you can try resetting any kernel related settings that you did in EX Kernel Manager or other companion apps.

I'm on an N6 but I see no lag while using Nova. I agree try a different kernel.

[Nexus 6P General] Suprash:
Hey guys,

I'm on stock rom, rooted with a custom kernel and I registered for the beta. I received the OTA update but I was wondering what should I do know.

Will it just work if I press download ? Will I lose my data ?

Thank you for your answers. :)
[Nexus 6P General] ImARaptor:
It depends whether or not you have TWRP (a custom recovery). Because you have a custom kernel, I imagine you do have TWRP, so what you should do is download the OTA from Google on their website, then extract the system and vendor images. You should flash those images along with the modified boot image for preview 2 posted a couple of pages back, and then you should be good. :) it will not erase any data and you should run into no problems. Let me know if you have any other questions, or need more details.

BTW, the OTA update Google sends you simply won't install because of your custom recovery, so you would just receive an error.
[Nexus 6P General] flar2:
It's not the kernel
[Nexus 6P General] Suprash:
Alright, I'll try to flash those 3 files tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll keep you in touch, thank you for your answer.

I assume I'll lose root, but I read somewhere that the latest CF-Root works with N (Preview 2). :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6P General] ImARaptor:
Oh, I forgot to tell you, but you can flash root again via TWRP after you have followed the above steps and you will have your root intact. :) Additionally, you will have to reflash your custom kernel after the other images as well. Make sure that the kernel is compatible with Preview 2 (for Elemental, make sure its 3.01).:highfive:
