I'm having trouble authenticating over wifi after flashing. I'm using the Ex kernel with this, but used the ROM and Vendor image included with this release.

Wifi is continually dropping, and is often not even connecting. Occasionally I get an authentication error message, but not all the time. Mobile data works fine, but it's finite on my data plan.

Is anyone else experiencing this, or did I do something wrong? LOL, I'm hardly an expert at this.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Skitts:
What's the point of flashing no force encrypt kernel ? Sorry to ask it been awhile since ive done this.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kalamos:
For me it was so I could decrypt my factory force encrypted phone. Huawei Nexus 6p.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] c_86:
Try factory kernel. If the issue persists then factory reset your device.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kalamos:
Thanks for the reply.

Man, I was hoping for something that wouldn't involve me wiping my phone again. I have'nt found restoring apps pleasant this last go round. TB did a header off the roof and splashed a lot of my backup on the ground. Took all day to sort out.

If you could indulge me: Could you help me understand what about the Ex kernel could cause this? Not questioning your suggestion, I just want to learn as I go. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alexandruvlad:
I don't get this, folks - please explain "You need flash no force encrypt kernel, you should be running the same build as the kernel you install

On adb

fastboot format userdata (this wipe internal so, make a backup)

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img"

I already a custom recovery (TWRP) & custom ROM running 6.0.1 on my Nexus , i'm encrypted - can someone articulate what steps are needed to be done?

Regards

Finally took the plunge and upgraded from PN + Ninja Kernel. I decided to go the full monty, wiped/dencrypted, and flashed clean. Everything's running perfectly. Now I'm debating if I should go custom kernel as battery life does seem a little less than on MM. What's everyone elses experience on this ROM with stock and modified kernels?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] douri:
Speaking from my personal experience, but I didn't follow the instructions for the no force encrypt kernel the first time and upon install, the data was automatically encrypted, but I didn't have the encryption key. When I went into twrp, I was unable to mount the data and ended up having to erase everything including the internal storage in order to get my phone working properly again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Subiegsr:
Same, now titanium back up force closes on me. Actually it's random now. When I try to add more finger prints under settings it closes on me. Any fixes?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MrDSL:
I haven't installed the ROM yet but the way I understand it was at the time twrp couldn't decrypt data from nougat so you had no choice.

The latest twrp shouldn't have this issue. Check the twrp topic under original dev section here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kalamos:
When I first installed this ROM I didn't decrypt first either. This thread helped me figure out how to decrypt without a full wipe. Although, I have to say, it didn't go very smoothly for me, as my post in the thread indicates. Read every post in the thread to get the best idea. I hope it helps.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] nadya30:
Nice rom thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Subiegsr:
Thanks, so I'm guessing you didn't get this solved yet correct? It's weird, the apps that force closes or not responds will work at random times.. Either with a reboot or whenever. Camera just did it to me tonight too. Is this because I came from encrypted rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
can u make a "just debloated nothing else" version of it? ur version fails safetynet so no android pay and also no pokemon go with it. leave the users the option to choose which root they want.

edit: full unroot then magisk v6 and phh root makes safetynet work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Appreciated, cool reply!

Ok, so this didn't work with TWRP 3.0.2.2 either? Still same error?

Regards & thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Subiegsr:
Didn't try 3.0.2-2, only if 3.0.2-1 and -3.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] douri:
Unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to spend the time to try to get my phone unencrypted to backup all my data. I was travelling and just needed to get my phone working. The good thing was that pretty much everything on my phone was backed up with the exception of my SMS messages (but that didn't really bother me). So here's what I did:

*****************DO NOT ATTEMPT******************

NOTE: THIS IS DANGEROUS YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE ADB TO PUSH TO YOUR PHONE DO NOT ATTEMPT

Format System, Data, Cache, AND Internal Storage

Use ADB to push this rom, the radio and SuperSU from my PC

Flash the Rom, Radio, and SuperSU

I believe that this ROM already comes with a no-force encrypt kernel so you don't have to flash one if you're basically starting over. I've been using this since it came out and I haven't had any issues so far. At least none that I can remember.

I claim NO responsibility if you read my post and decided to follow my instructions anyway, the information provided was simply the steps I took to get my phone working again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Subiegsr:
Just redownloaded and fresh installed. Works flawless now and butter smooth so far. Great rom! Thanks for the help everyone.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
anybody else having this play store bug: it downloads, stops at 100%, doesnt start installing. after swiping away the play store recents card it installs the previously downloaded app and then downloads the next if any again hanging at 100%. playstore doesnt freeze just doesnt do anything anymore.

it hasnt been like this from the beginning. right after installing it worked. can magisk + phh root be the issue? not much else special on it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
I have no such issue and yet I have Magisk + phh's SuperUser
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Izeltokatl:
Ditto, no issues with the Play store.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
deactivating playstore in settings did the trick. it reverted to factory version of it (6.7.whatever). activated it again and it downloads and installs apps like it should yay

updated playstore to 7.0.16.H-all and it still works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BSav:
[MENTION=4152720]4RK4N[/MENTION] , I don't have this playstore issue. everything works fine for me
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kalamos:
I did finally get it sorted, but not smoothly. Ended up restoring a lot of stuff manually, and even had to do some sdcard backups by putting them on my pc manually, and restore them after i reflashed everything by using es file explorer. At this point it all seems to be working for the last several days, except somehow I have multiple copies of sms chats from some contacts. The messenger app did not restore though, and I had to redownload it from the app store, then restore data only from titanium. I suspect thats what caused the redundant chats. No force closed apps though. I would argue that stock messenger could be included in a debloated rom, if the stock phone app is included. My humble opinion.

I did use -2 for twrp. I tell you, best thing to do is just do not install this rom without a no force encrypt first. Doing it afterwards is just such a hassle trying to backup and restore your data. I also think that adb pull and push are not up to the task for backing up the entire sdcard, as there is just so much added time if it decides to fail. Not having a retry or having the ability to skip already copied files creates so much hassle. I suspect there's easier ways, I just don't know them.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
yet another bug i might be the only one with: settings crashes when i go to security and tap "screen lock" (where u change the screen lock) or "smart lock" option. i cant change my pin or setup smart lock with my watch -.-

would deleting locksettings.db in recovery help? resetting the screen lock. i'ma try that anyway.

edit: deleting /data/system/locksettings.db made "screen lock" option not crash anymore. after setting up pin again another tap on "screen lock" crashed settings again. gonna delete locksettings.db again and try pattern instead of pin.

edit2: pattern is the same. didnt try other screen locks but i think they are the same. once any is setup i cant change it. also i cant setup smart lock.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] c_86:
I would factory wipe and try again. I just added my watch as smart lock an had no issues. Everything worked as is.

Edit. Just changed my pin to pattern and worked without issues as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jxcorex28:
I take it that theres no need to flash vendor zip. If we are already on NRD90U. Reason I ask, is because I'm running some errands and I'm no where near a computer.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
twrp can flash vendor.img since ages ago

but like u said no need since u should alrdy have it

nah i can live with that. no other issues and too lazy to reinstall everything again. gonna wait for the next update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jxcorex28:
Why I saw that encryption spill on the first page and thought I'd need it. I'm not decrypted (AFAIK - WETA isnt decrypted)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BSav:
I'm experiencing a strange problem, everytime I unlock my n6p, after about 1-2 seconds the screen brightness goes to 100% for a half second and than goes back to the brightness percent it was on before.

does anyone else experiencing this?

I have not. Delay in the systems auto brightness detection? Turn off auto brightness and see what happens.

anyone being able to get the System UI tuner? I pressed the gear icon more than 10 seconds and nothing happened :/

edit: fixed it! if the animations is turned off you can't get the tuner, so you need to turn them on again!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hackahero:
Does anyone have the problem where every time you leave your house and go from Wifi to cells service the radio won't turn on until the phone is rebooted. I have to do this every day.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] qbanlinxx:
This has happened to me once on this ROM and a similar ROM. Think it's a 7.0 issue and not the ROM itself
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thunder9861:
Do you have the sources available on Github or something similar?

I'm interested in making my own minimal ROM similar to this and I was hoping to see how you did some of the modifications, specifically the supersu and busybox integration, as well as the odex and zipalign.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Not sure [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] is one of those devs that makes him self available to the thread on a daily basis like some other devs. Which is perfectly perfectly fine or course, so it doesn't seem he's available much to answer questions like this one. So it will probably be up to us users to help. With this particular question, I don't know enough, so maybe some one who does know can chime in and help this gentleman.

Just as i thought, tethering is NOT broke in 90U , its fine just to let every one else know. Might want to check into things fully before undoubtedly saying an update broke something specific [MENTION=1874136]uvbeenzaned[/MENTION]

Hello, thanks for this stable rom - really like it. I´ve only one question. when i turn on notification led, it won´t work in latest build. Only me? Light Flow won´t work too. It´s normal? Thanks for answer!!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] deanjen:
whether I did a dirty flash or a clean one(format everything other than internal storage, flash vendor, flash modem&bootloader, flash ROM, clear both caches, & finally reboot), I encountered a notification "Android System: There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details" and it asks me to press OK. Doesn't seem to hamper any system function, though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] marko82marko:
This notification occurs only when it is wrong

vendor

placed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] deanjen:
my bad. I was using the vendor file from previous 90u. Let me give it another shot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] oussamalabbize:
Great, thx a lot ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Rock-Ace:
NBD90X finally provides stable 2G/3G/4G signals ......

Flashed NBD90X vendor, radio and ROM image. I can observe better signal strength and improvement over stability of signals. Finally Google you nailed it :)

PS: I am in a very weak signal area hardly receiving any signal and have already tried flashing all android 'N' radios.

Silly question maybe, how do i check if my data partition is encrypted?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] therock3181:
Setting/Security.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
is there a noticeable difference between encrypted and not? except on the security :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bentez2003:
Hi,

I wanted to sideload this rom (as i'm encrypted so needed to wipe) but the radio and bootloader are in the same zip. What adb cmd should i use to flash this zip? will adb sideload <filename.Zip> do the job? i wasn't sure which bootloor img to tell adb to use :/ Can i just sideload the rom and vendor to boot? (then copy over to internal and then flash in twrp)

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] therock3181:
Didn't really see a difference on MM. N I don't know.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] samteeee:
@OP

Great Rom, Thank you for this.

Just wondering how come I can't update the "Root Binaries" as

the SuperSU app won't flash the script in TWRP via a reboot nor

can I do it manually hence no access to Root!

I've clean installed the Rom and flashed vendor, BL and the modem/radio.

Any help is much appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dannyqanaah:
Noob question

:confused: I just got a push notification telling me I have an update available?! Should I let it do its thing or is this going to mess anything up lol

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

EDIT: nevermind when you install it takes you to twrp lol, so was that a patch or something?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bgboii:
has anyone had signal drops and then having to reboot it just to get it working again?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] squall458:
​

Not me. Stable as a rock here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bgboii:
it happened to me a bit ago. I just reflashed the vendor, bootloader and the radio. I still have to test it out but ive had this problem even with another rom thats why i switched to this rom to see if it would get fixed. If it continues im not sure what to do.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] New Rising:
When I try and flash this I get failed to mount vendor system in red. I'm using twrp to flash the system image. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

What version of twrp?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] New Rising:
3.0.2.2
[Nexus 6P Android Development] c_86:
Are you trying too flash the vendor image or the ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nickm1889:
When trying to flash this ROM I keep getting error 7 in red. I do full wipe (everything except internal storage). Flash vendor Everytime then ROM but same thing over again. I cannot reboot then as I have no os installed so I fall back to my previous ROM. I have been on weta and benzo since nougat came out and I just wanted to try this. Got latest twrp installed 3.0.2-3. Any ideas please? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] c_86:
Try a fresh download of the ROM and vendor image. May have downloaded corrupted.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nickm1889:
Thanks for that but I have tried on 3 different occasions, all downloaded via mega and all with the same error? Thanks for quick post though? ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thloe:
cancelled
[Nexus 6P Android Development] c_86:
Only thing I would suggest is boot into twrp back up your internal media items. Download the latest factory image restore to complete factory and try everything again.

If that doesnt work then it's out of my scope and I have no idea.

Anyone able to help me with this? sorry if it seems obvious. i just like to be extra careful when things like radios and bootloaders are concerned
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 4RK4N:
just fyi i narrowed down the prob i had with settings crashing as soon as u want to chage pin/pattern/etc or setup smart lock: its the substratum theme i'm using. just updated to october build of the rom and security settings worked same for smart lock settings. as soon as i installed the "black stock substratum theme" (really nice search it on playstore) to get rid of eye-cancer white, settings crash at the same places like with the september update.

the fact that it worked w/o the substratum theme makes me think its the theme not the rom.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] acbc2k:
Was using the 90M and very solid performance. Can't I just flash vendor and update to 90X via TWRP? Don't want to reinstall everything from scratch.

You can flash the .zip in TWRP & flash the vendor image using ADB.

Hi there, you should try AdGuard. It works like VPN, but it doesn't change your IP, just blocks all the ads in apps, twitch, internet it self. And best thing that root is not required!

Snapchat looks for root now. If your Rom wasnt setup correctly or if you are not running magisk root snapchat wont load correctly. Thats my experience anyways. I have magisk root plus auto magisk to unmount root when i open selected apps that I dont want root to show. Helps with Android Pay...

There is flash able zip in AdAway thread. Flash the file via TWRP and then apply hosts via AdAway app. Before you flash the file, make sure you have AdAway installed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] thunder9861:
First of all, thank you very much for your work!

I'm working on my own minimal ROM similar to yours, and I am trying to understand how you did some things.

I have been looking at your zip file, and I understand how you integrated root and busybox. I understand that the rest of the changes (debloat, layers, etc) were made to system.new.dat. My guess is that you mounted the image and made changes to it. I don't understand how to create the file_contexts and system.transfer.list files, would you share the commands you use to create these? Are you using a script/tool, or are your changes being made manually?

Thank you for your time!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ticrandall:
Rom wasn't set up correctly, what do you mean by that?

I was using 90T from this thread and had no issues with Snapchat. I was able to download Snapchat on my old rooted S4 and use it. But now it won't work on 90X..

That worked perfectly, I grabbed the .zip folder from the XDA thread and installed the app before flashing the .zip. Now it works like a charm. Thank you sir.

How do i get back to a stock boot.img. Trying to get past safetynet checks for pogo and one of the steps is to get back a stock boot.img. When i try to flash via twrp image install the stock boot from the google factory image i get stuck on the google screen during boot.

what i did:

1. flashed nbd90x form this thread and the vendor image.

2. booted and made sure it worked

3. flashed unsu.zip (again checked to see if that worked, and that its still failing safteynet check)

4. flashed image in twrp the stock boot.img from the factory image

5. got stuck on google screen. (flashed the zip from this thread to fix...)

Edit Solved issue: using unroot via SuperSU app (fix boot not recovery) resolved issue. passing safetynet check
