Hi all.

I have been looking all over for an answer to this:

I've always used the standard HTC 2G dialler for one simple reason. As I start typing a number, the list shows not only my contacts that match what I type, but also recent calls from my call history. Which means that if I type 866, I see the contact "Unni" before I see "Tom", because I called Unni recently.

This way of sorting calls is available in the context menu for the dialpad (view- calls and contacts).

But in the 3G dialpads, I can't find this option. They ONLY show contacts from my address books, not sorted by order of recent contact.

Does anybody know how to make the 3G (or Schap's 2G dialpad) behave this way??

Thanks all!!

Just got NPD35K pushed to my phone. Hopefully some new stuff from the Google I/O?

I thought I wouldn't be able to receive updates with a rooted device and a custom kernel. Is this the new way of Android N system image pushing?

Apparently this is now the actual beta. And no longer a preview version. This counts as preview 3.

Got it here too,so far,so good!!!
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:
I've never once taken an ota but I'm tempted. Is it safe to accept if you're decrypted?
[Nexus 6  General] mrjiggywiggy:
Were you unencrypted when you updated to it? I know TWRP doesn't work when it's encrypted (on N) so I'm waiting for the factory images to be released so I can modify those and stay unencrypted, but if it works anyway I'll update ASAP.
[Nexus 6  General] akholicc:
Hello. I want to take this update too. My bootloader is locked. Though i have enabled oem unlocking and usb debugging. Can i ota update to android n beta? I mean in case i get into bootloop. I have everything stock. Nothing changed. Currently on may update mob30i.

Been waiting awhile
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:
Is it encrypting?
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
gotta go fsat!
[Nexus 6  General] blackbird5308:
So if i understand correctly, this is not forcing encryption, right?
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
DAmn it Encryption unsuccessful reset phone prompt..... anyway around this?
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
Correct. Leaves it alone as is. Should.
[Nexus 6  General] blackbird5308:
Perfect. What mods are necessary? only ramdisk / fstab i think, right?
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
All I did was edit the fstab file in the ramdisk.
[Nexus 6  General] blackbird5308:
Perfect, backing up!

Did you try rooting?
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
UGH erasing now.... I wonder if my TWRP backup will still be there?
[Nexus 6  General] blackbird5308:
not at all, all internal memory has been encrypted. that's why i always make double sure about encryption
[Nexus 6  General] XorZone:
Ok, manually flashed bootloader, radio, system, patched boot by [MENTION=2999721]aoaleman[/MENTION], loaded to twrp, flashed supersu 2.72.

Rebooted few times, I was thinking it might bootloop, but it updating apps now, will see...
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
Not yet! Will try a little later. :)
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
So it's erasing and encrypting right now then?
[Nexus 6  General] XorZone:
Ok, and it loaded to some safe mode, saying - factory reset to use device without restrictions.... wtf...
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
I was unlocked, rooted and unencrypted.....
[Nexus 6  General] blackbird5308:
if you did not flash [MENTION=2999721]aoaleman[/MENTION]'s kernel yeh, that's pretty much what's happening.
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:

[Nexus 6  General] emoney1219:
The Android beta program doesn't recognize my Nexus 6 so should I hold of until there is a fishable zip? I'm rooted with the latest twrp right now running stock rom.
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
Oh man This erasing is taking forever
[Nexus 6  General] XorZone:
Ok, so supersu 2.72 is a no go atm, reflashed shamu-npd35k-boot-encryptable.img. Booted ok
[Nexus 6  General] mrjiggywiggy:
Root works using SuperSU 2.72, Android Pay even adds card on this preview (with root too!).
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
Sounds like maybe those new security features might be included in this new preview.

Edit: as [MENTION=6133082]mrjiggywiggy[/MENTION] stated, SuperSU 2.72 sounds like it works.
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
Should erasing take this long?
[Nexus 6  General] outkastz:
Alright, so I'm looking for a TWRP flashable version that won't encrypt and will let me keep my stuff. I'm assuming someone is working on this? I've seen a couple failed upgrades so far so I'm def skeptical. Happy to see [MENTION=6133082]mrjiggywiggy[/MENTION] was able to get SuperSu working

Can someone confirm an upgrade path from Preview 2?
[Nexus 6  General] mrjiggywiggy:
Sorry, meant to say 2.72, I'm used to it being 2.71 as that was IIRC the first one that worked on N. But anyway, it did work on mine.
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
omg this is annoying.... no Factory reset should take this long
[Nexus 6  General] XorZone:
Interesting, will retry after lunch
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
I'm going to upgrade from Prev 2, will let you know what I did and if I could obtain Root from 2.71
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
Still Erasing.... 40 minutes now OH just reset for a second showed Google boot logo then back to erasing....
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
I think that I will wait until flashable zips are available, and rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] NeoandGeo:
I did a clean install of the last preview version from the flashable zip thread, signed up for the beta program, unencrypted and not rooted. Haven't seen the OTA yet, should I expect it or will I have to manually install?
[Nexus 6  General] trvbone:
Yeah I got excited since it's a semi_stable release...... been waiting. Needed to reset anyway was pretty bogged down lately

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

about 54 min and looks like it's done erasing and booting
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
I suppose I could reflash release 2 and see if it registered the OT. Will not take it, though
[Nexus 6  General] lazerus06:
Up and running.

Android pay is now working.

Shealth won't work and Humana Vitality will not connect to anything.
[Nexus 6  General] XorZone:
Ok, as it is bootlooping into safe mode, it might be one of the root apps, but cannot nail it yet. Will wait unrooted a bit.
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
K, here's what I did:

Coming from NPC91K (I did these exact same steps coming from MMB29S)

1. Backup Everything /sdcard/

2. Backup all partitions in TWRP except System Image (had a case where this System Image partition got loaded and i lost it all, even /sdcard/ got formatted)

3. Place SuperSU 2.72 in /sdcard/

4. Fastboot commands

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img​

5. Without rebooting go to twrp then flash supersu 2.72

6. Clear Caches

(booted fine, but got that "optimizig app" thingy...)

Rooted fine with 2.72

Nice, keyboard updated to 5.1

Can confirm this is the new dev preview since it now allows me to re-enable Android Pay.
[Nexus 6  General] drnbrk:

[Nexus 6  General] mrjiggywiggy:

[Nexus 6  General] watzone69:
Thanks, I'm about to try this. I'm assuming you used the modified boot from aoaleman?
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
Nope, if I would have, I would've mentioned it. Then again; I'm running an encrypted device.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ----------

Odd, doesn't for me.

Oh well Not like we use Android Pay in Honduras though.

I can, however run the Miitomo app (which checks for root also)

[MENTION=5176577]Zenety[/MENTION] Does that mean you were rooted running a custom kernel (eX or Elite) and still you got your update? After flashing NPD35K, did you flash your old kernel back? eX or Elite?
[Nexus 6  General] sartau87:
I would love to see instructions more specific to keep unecryption with a Custom Rom such as 5-4 Chroma since our devices are super slow when encrypted? Anyone have clear advise. benleonheart These were great instructions, just looking for something different.
[Nexus 6  General] outkastz:
Alright, so I was unencrypted on Preview 2. Followed these instructions with the modified boot.img that was so graciously provided by [MENTION=2999721]aoaleman[/MENTION] literally minutes after release.

So this is how it went for me:

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one by [MENTION=2999721]aoaleman[/MENTION])
​

5. Without rebooting go to twrp then flash supersu 2.72

6. Clear Caches

7. Tried to boot, no bueno. Kept going to recovery. Went back to bootloader

8. ran the fastboot flash boot boot.img (the one by [MENTION=2999721]aoaleman[/MENTION]) again and rebooted normally.

Android booted fine and did the whole Optimizing Apps thing. Now on "Preview 3" and its been all of a minute now.

Lost root and when I flash SuperSU (2.71 or 2.72), it won't boot right unless I select "start" from bootloader or flash the boot.img again.

Annnnndddd now my device is asking me to setup my account. Safe to say this method does not work.
[Nexus 6  General] epic4grooted:
I keep going into twrp what an I doing wrong
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
Rooted with 2.72, unencrypted with my modified boot/kernel. Everything running good so far. :D
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:
Yup. Running well thanks to you and your contribution.
[Nexus 6  General] aoaleman:
Just don't switch to Permissive SELinux. Forces a reboot into Safe Mode. Hehe
[Nexus 6  General] Majinfern0:
Seems to work

Seems to work. I was running CM13 as a primary rom w/ multirom, switched it to secondary, then went ahead with your steps. It booted N, but I forgot to wipe the primary rom so I had a bunch of old apps from Marshmallow. Just wiped through twrp and am reflashing system.img. Will report back in about 10min if It goes well.

Note: Using modified boot by OP

Update: Working :)

[Nexus 6  General] H4X0R46:
TWRP doesn't work on encrypted devices if they are on N? I've been flashing and keeping up with the N previews, but have always had my device unencrypted because that's just my preference. Does flashing things fail? Does TWRP just not boot? Does it give an error message on startup? Etc.
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
Just an FYI changing the built in screen density to the smallest setting still seems to break SafetyNet and Android Pay. Hoping they fix this in a future update.
[Nexus 6  General] TokedUp:
Dark ui theme is gone. I can no longer set wallpaper on lock screen or both. Anyone else?
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
Can i Unset the density and get this back?

Edit: ser the screen size back to default and my safety net helper passes!!!!!

They really have to fix this though.

On the bright side is if you wanna pay; just switch to default screen size. Haha.

Going deeper; is it possible to setup a Tasker profile to switch back to default screen size whenever pay is accessed and to switch to small screen size when exited? I see a good workaround there.

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

DarkUI is still there, access it by long pressing the tile on the quicksettings.

I can also, set the wallpaper to home,lock or both.

Vía longpress desktop->wallpapers
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
Exactly - just switch it back if you want to use AP. You don't even have to reboot!
[Nexus 6  General] cyberon:
Yep, dark ui is also gone here... ?
[Nexus 6  General] cdaly1970:
So how stable is this beta? Daily driver stable?? Or still just really a preview level??

So tempted to jump in, but I live on my phone, and the idea of time it will take to roll back to M if it is just not ready is holding me back..

Thanks in advance for your opinions...

[Nexus 6  General] johnb380:
Literally 2 posts above yours man...
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
Yes, it has been stripped out of Prev3 along with the RGB modifier...

You can still access night mode by long pressing the tile on the quicksettings... you only have access to tint/brightness though. No more dark theme.

The wallpaper yes, you can still set it anywhere. Home or lockscreen...
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:
How on the lockscreen? I can't find it.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I see that a few people have had some problems, so just to add a success story to give doubters some confidence... :)

My N6 is rooted, encrypted, running TWRP 3.0.2.

I did a full TWRP backup just in case and saved it on my laptop.

Signed up for the Beta program, checked a couple of minutes later on the phone for a system update, and there it was. I accepted the installation offer.

Half an hour to download, and pressed the go button.

As one person commented above, it rebooted into TWRP, but from there it was clearly programmed to recognise and use TWRP - given that the likely candidates for trying the preview are the propellorheads in this site with a very high probability that we have TWRP installed, this was a pretty obvious precaution on Google's part. It ran through the "unconditional update" screens and rebooted within a few minutes. No wipes, no erases.

I started back into what looked like my normal startup (is there one less dancing icon...?) and everything so far is working normally with the exception of Sygic, which won't start at all, though Here Maps & Tomtom Go seem to work. I haven't tried everything, but it looks good so far - much better than my previous experiences on previews 1 & 2 when so much didn't work that I reverted to 6.0.1.

I reckon I still had TWRP installed (given that I'd just used it to upgrade), but I reflashed it in ADB/fastboot anyway and installed SuperSU 2.72. Reboot again looked normal, and this time my root apps worked fine.

Annoyingly :) I immediately discovered that there's a new SuperSU 2.74, so being an impatient propellorhead I installed that over the top of 2.72 - no problems.

Maybe I'm just lucky, but my experience with the upgrade has been flawless.

It didn't erase anything ?
[Nexus 6  General] ridobe:
Huh. I don't see that.
[Nexus 6  General] NCtwin:
That's what I'm wondering. I really want to try, but I'm not as Android-savvy as I should be to hop back if things are bad.

Also, I see that it says that it'll wipe the device if you opt-out of the program. That doesn't apply when N actually comes out right? We'll receive the OTA and keep going as normal? Could you opt-out then and be ok? Hopefully that makes sense...
[Nexus 6  General] Dusty Rhodes:
I'll add another success story. I was running MOB30I rooted.

I backed up my phone and relocated my backup. I signed up as a developer and downloaded the tgz file and used NRT to do a clean install of NPD35K.

I used NRT to do a clean install and erased everything. I then used NRT to install root (SU 2.71) and recovery (TWRP)...

... checked everything and it was all good so then I restored my data and cache.

Perfect. HBOGo doesn't work, but thats minor.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
"It didn't erase anything ?"

No, nothing at all. Everything I've tried so far works fine with the exception of Sygic. N6 Double Tap to Wake, Wakelock Detector, TiBu, ClockSync, Power Toggles, and quite a few other non-root apps.

Everything looks the same, I still have the same amount of storage occupied & free.
[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
That's really amazing; I did not enroll in the Beta program fearing that it would detect my root/twrp/unlocked bootloader and nothing would happen.

Kudos to google for this move.

*enrolled in the beta program*
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Yes, I agree. Not perfect of course - amazingly Google Drive app crashes, and BubbleUpnp no longer casts to my Samsung TV. But certainly a lot of progress in this preview.

Edit: XDA Labs app crashed when I posted the comment, but at least it had the decency to do it *after* the post went up... :)

[Nexus 6  General] benleonheart:
That's odd... can you uninstall and reinstall it and still have it crash?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
Not necessary. When I posted the edit it worked fine. Maybe a one-off glitch rather than a real problem.

Let's see what happens when I push the button on this one. If it works then I won't need to edit again... :)

Are you using stock-unrooted? I'm on pure nexus and I'm very happy with it, but my flashing needs wants to try this. Is the beta THAT stable?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I'm glad that I tried it. A few apps don't work. Google Drive, MX Player, BBC Radio (but BBC iPlayer ok), but TWRP & root (2.74) are fine. I don't know if the OTA would have a problem installing over non-stock, but it was OK over my rooted stock MOB30I. I installed via signing up for beta and took the Google download, not a download of the OTA and manual installation.
[Nexus 6  General] Iconic24:
Drive is working fine on my end. I have been using it for a couple of hours and its been really smooth so far. I have yet to get a single FC. I'm not rooted and I'm on stock recovery if that makes any difference.

Its quite stable no hiccups what's so ever,only issue is for me tibu is not able to restore my apps,im using the dp3 with elemental x kernel.
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
[MENTION=4527197]Iconic24[/MENTION] "Drive is working fine on my end."

Strange. I thought it odd that Google would break one of their own apps. I've uninstalled (updates only, since it's a system app), disabled, applied updates, the works, and nothing makes any difference. Patience called for, I suppose, until the next preview comes along... :)

No big deal for the moment, since I mirror Drive with Onedrive, and Onedrive still works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Thanks! Getting ready to try it out now. A couple of quick questions though

1. Does adaway work?

2. If I want to revert back to M, can I just download the M image and flash all img files (except userdata), and be back to how my phone is currently? And will un-enrolling from the beta program cause a wipe if I flash M before that?

Thx!
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
I don't use Adaway. Almost all of my apps are paid and the few that aren't don't have enough ads to annoy me.

There are a few ways you could recover.

1) The simplest is to unenroll from the Beta program, but I believe (not sure) that the OTA that Google delivers comes with a warning that it will wipe the phone and install a clean ROM. I haven't worked out in my head yet what happens if you revert manually and also unenrol - from my experience with preview 1 I think it's ok; the device appeared to recognise that it had been reverted and didn't need to apply the automatic OTA reversion.

2) Me, I took a TWRP backup of my MOB30I which I planned to use if I had too many problems with preview 3. This is what I did with preview 1 because too many apps were broken.

3) The third way is as you suggest - to extract the various images from MOB30I and flash them individually, leaving data/userdata alone. I reckon that should work.

Little by little my preview 3 experience is getting better to the point that I doubt I'll revert. Some developers are already issuing compatible apps, even though they may still be beta - I've got BubbleUpnp working like that. VLC has temporarily replaced MX Player Pro. Some I'll just have to live without for the moment - BBC Radio & Sygic refuse to work at all. And Google Drive never gets beyond the introductory screen before it crashes.

Overall, not at all a bad experience. Good luck...

[Nexus 6  General] jj14:
Thanks :)

Adaway is just for web browsing on Chrome. Thankfully, most apps are fairly affordable, so I had paid versions whenever they offer them (I have a thing against subscriptions, but one time charges are OK). But browsing sites can be painful with so many ads - XDA also had (a few months ago) fake virus pop-up alerts - ugh

I'm hoping option 3 will work - just not sure if userdata from N will cause issues with other partitions on M.
[Nexus 6  General] ronaldheld:
org.adaway_56.apk. is there a correct one that works?
[Nexus 6  General] dahawthorne:
"not sure if userdata from N will cause issues with other partitions on M"

Since the OTA installs seamlessly and leaves everything pretty much intact, I doubt that there will be any userdata impacts at all. My few impacts have been app-related, not data. When Sygic update their app, for example, I expect that the maps will work just fine without re-downloading.
