Any way of changing the lockscreen wallpaper different to that of the home screen one? Can't see an option... Perhaps there's an app in the play Store for it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
No. pretty sure its bec its stock based. Its not exactly the same, but there are a few good apps that give you this feature and they work just fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DAE1964:
Install Google now launcher. When choosing a wallpaper select the launcher for the app, select background image and option for desktop or lockscreen location should be available.?

Yeah just noticed on nova launcher there's an option for it now... Didn't see it before... Thanks anyway tho bro

Currently stock on NMF26F.

Should I flash the radio and vendor and rom after full wipe or am I missing anything??

Anyone recommend a kernel to flash at the same time??

Also is it easy to unroot or change to magisk?

Many Thanks!!!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] gabidiesel:
What version of flash kernel and what settings did in your kernel???
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Triscuit:
Did you make sure all of your vendor/radio/bootloader files were updated before flashing the ROM?

I get i/o error when trying to install v4a - any way to install it? I searched the forum but nothing works.

ok, I downloaded another version of viper - changed permission - now it says I have no busybox even though I have it installed.

Solved: I used a file manager that did not rename the filename in vendor/etc - used es file explorer and everything works just fine - I flashed Arise sound systems numbers 3.5

Tupac4u can you use a different file uploader from mega. Mega is very slow taking over 40 mins to your rom. My download speed is 100+, so I know it is not me.

Flash this ROM today and i use stock kernel, beautiful stable and smooth ROM like all the other development of tupac4u@.What kernel recommend for better battery life;

Is there a way to disable navbar animation? I want to use Substratum to change the navbar but it leaves a yellow dot and circle around the home button.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
Seriously? Not trying to unnecessarily call you out, but please don't just say things that simply aren't true. While apps running in the background and other similar issues can certainly impact the battery, kernels have far more than "little impact on battery life" ...

As the kernel basically determines how to direct and prioritize power, it can have a significant impact on battery life. The two things custom kernels do for users is let you find your preferred sweet spot between performance and battery use, along with other things like sound and colour calibration, depending on the kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
In the weta ROM, there's an extras zip that will work on Tupacs ROM, its has some tweaks, one being center clock, another allowing 4 5 and 6 Qs tiles, well when you flash those, it will revert nav bar to stock, effectively removing the animation. Not ideal, but it will get the job donem

There might be a zip somewhere or a way to just remove the animation, but I currently don't know about it.

[MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] , just trying to help a user, however, if you think it's disrespectful that I mentioned another ROM, please advise and I will delete asap.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] bluetigger68:
As Aaron aka flar2, the dev of ElementalX, wrote in 2015 there are only two things that may have a significant effect on the battery that are determined by the kernel when using the device aka active drain. Those are govenor and task scheduling that determine with what frequency the cores are responding to tasks and how fast they go back to a low frequency (govenor) and which core gets the task to finish it (task scheduling). He leaves out hotplugging, so do I.

Regarding the high quality kernels we're having around for the Nexus devices I tend to say that there is little to no significant battery improvement when not tweaking to the lowest level or activating battery saving features built into the kernel when comparing the kernels over a longer period of time. That's btw what I'v experienced over the last years as well with my Shamu and Angler. Sure back in the days of a GNex kernel made a significant difference, that's when I started flashing kernels. but nowadays the devices are quite energy efficient to quote Aaron.

Regarding idle drain there is nothing a kernel can do except blocking wakelocks. And when we're talking wakelocks we're talking apps and services that constantly or regularly keep the device awake and prevent doze to kick in. Which is imho the heavy battery drain problem many user are reporting throughout every 7.1.1 stock modded or custom rom around xda. The device just wont go to deep sleep.

Coming back to my statement you quoted before as long as apps are behaving correct, there is ihmo no significant difference between the battery life of a single device when using different kernels. If the apps are not working correct and are generating wakelocks there is only one way to improve your battery life. Finding the apps and services that prevent the device from going to deep sleep taking appropriate measures eg uninstaling or talking away some rights to use a background service what could lead to other issues.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tylog:

just realized I cant uninstall system apps. also, I can install adaway but I can not copy host files to the system..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DaveHTC200:
It sure does... if you flash the N beta ROM... [emoji1]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jwigley24:
i apologize in advance if this seems off-topic, but what is the point to decrypting (if that's even a word)? like if i flashed this rom and didn't decrypt, would it make a difference? i was reading this article because i was curious if it would answer this question, and about encryption it states "It basically means the device will automatically encrypt itself on first boot... Google did this from the security point-of-view, but if you’re planning on installing TWRP later, then you’re going to have trouble with decrypting Nexus 6P from the recovery." i've had twrp since i got the 6p, and flashed any roms i've wanted, installed supersu, no problems. because of this, i'm not sure what i'm missing from still being encrypted.

so i was just curious what advantage i would get from flashing the modified boot to decrypt? thanks for any info. just wanna build my knowledge a little more about this topic.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alanthast0s:
Same problem here!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] seangeezy12:
So that's a No for this ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] phillymade:
That would be a no for the MM version that just posted
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DaveHTC200:
No sorry was being funny, but on a serious note, there are two ROMs in the thread, one of which is the N beta ??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] marcbsmoove:
Ada way is not working on this Rom,why?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fLipz:
have you read this http://www.droidorigin.com/decrypt-nexus-6p/
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jwigley24:
Thanks for the article! That gave some clarity, however, the article states "You will need to disable forced-encryption in order to make permanent changes to the device’s filesystem, like flashing mods, tweaks, etc. Until you disable forced-encryption, and decrypt your 6P, you would not be able to perform any such functions."

This is where I get confused because I haven't disabled forced encryption but I have twrp, I'm rooted, I've removed apps from system, I have xposed installed with a few mods. So again I'm wondering what difference it would make if I disabled encryption?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] faz712:
Flash systemless adaway from here

My, phone is turning off at 15% of battery,, im usong this rom. Anyone knowbwhy is this happening and if I can fix it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kmcrane:
This is happening to tons of people. Some people shut off at 30% battery. Search around on Google you will find thousands of pages about this. You have to send your phone in for warranty or replace the battery.

Some roms are affected more than others, but it's a hardware problem.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bluetigger68:
Where do you get the info from that some Roms are affected more?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6P mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kmcrane:
I didn't mean it like this rom shuts off at 20% and this one over here shuts off at 15%. I ment it like if you read the forums, some roms have more discussion about it than others. So if you read rom "a" only you may not have heard about this.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bluetigger68:
That's no evidence though, maybe other users using other Roms are more up to date regarding that issue and don't discuss it in the threads as it is not ROM related.

This has not been proven nor do I have the problem (yet).

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Humanreflect:
I was able to slightly fix it doing this.

- It turned off at 15%

- I kept trying to turn it on until the battery was really empty and the red led blinked.

- I charged it while it was off till it was full.

Now its turning off at 4%

Update:Nevermind, its back with turning off now at 12%.........

Hey the ROM is really great so far thank you. But there is one little problem. I always get massive battery drain while listening to music.

Solution to change device name

After some experimenting and digging into the system, I discovered that the device name is written to a database of sorts on the very first boot. It takes the device name in build.prop, "ro.product.model", and stores in a database used by SettingsProvider. The constant for this entry is Settings.Global.DEVICE_NAME.

So in addition to changing ro.product.model in build.prop, I also had to update the device_name entry in the Settings database. Using this article as a reference, I came up with a solution:

I made a guide here for those who are interested.
