I am using Elemental X Kernel. Gives me great Battery Life :o

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

BTW if one of you wants to root this, some of the older SuperSU versions gave me bootloops.

This one: https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip worked fine with the most recent build

Xposed also works fine. Just get the sdk23 version ;)
[Nexus 6P General] abusedcloth:
I agree, I expected to see some features. Great ROM, nice and smooth but I just wanted to play with more options. Just feels like stock android. But they did great work here and its appreciated to have options for my 6P.
[Nexus 6P General] deXter55:
can anyone help me with the banks gapps latest link? i tried to find but the one with the dirty unicorn is old.
[Nexus 6P General] thloe:
No vendor needed it´s backed with
[Nexus 6P General] MaxNXS:
So what are the maintenance plans going forward? Are they going to keep up with Google's monthly security updates? If not, this is DOA for me.
[Nexus 6P General] yhwh111:
did not encrypt your phone?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
It will encrypt the device. It's better that you flash a custom kernel that disables dm-verity, or simply flash latest SuperSU before the first boot. I am currently running decrypted using the same method.
[Nexus 6P General] smallsmx301:
So pointless to decrypt
[Nexus 6P General] sketchypotato:
This might be a dumb question, but has anyone been able to find how to enable pie controls? I have a pie settings menu in my system settings, but there's no option to enable it.
[Nexus 6P General] syrkles:
Enable immesrive mode for pie controls and it will be following cafs security updates so no it will not follow googles updats

Stuck at google screen on bootup

I flashed the 6.0 pa on the nexus 6p. used bank gapps. did everything as normal for flashing on the 6p but keep getting stuck at the google screen on bootup. is anyone else having this issue?﻿
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
Did you flash the correct vendor? Right now it is MTC19T.
[Nexus 6P General] ayyra2:
yeah. maybe it is because i flashed the vendor before i flashed the actual rom and gapps?
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
That doesn't matter. You just flash it before you boot, after/before flashing the ROM. Hope you're you using the correct version of GApps.

I am downloading the ROM right now, and If I face the same issue, I will let you know. Until then, make a fresh install with BaNkS GApps.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
Same here. Flashed PA & Banks. Didn't flash vendor but I had flashed it last month via fastboot so don't think it matters.
[Nexus 6P General] ayyra2:
when you flashed the pa rom, did you get something like this in the terminal

mount:failed to mount /dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/system at /system: device or resource busy

This only happened when i wiped the system when wiping data, cache, dalvik cache but when i reinstalled a different rom and and left the system alone but wiped all of the other things besides internal storage, that error did not come up but it still got stuck at the google screen when booting up.
[Nexus 6P General] kingmikel:
Okay here are some screenshots for anyone that is curious. I flashed PA with Banks Gapps. The ROM is pretty smooth so far, like someone said earlier it is a little bare but its great for a first build :)
[Nexus 6P General] Skyrocket2Paradise:
yes they stated on google+ that they use the stock kernel which only supports encryption. It was suggested to flash a custom kernel before the first boot however I tried that with Kylo and it doesnt boot. So im not sure if encrytion can be disabled
[Nexus 6P General] kibmikey1:
If it can keep up with the monthly security updates, I'll consider it. Lately, anything other than stock seems to be a waste because of this. Also, with N right around the corner, how long until an update to that? I'll keep my eye on this and see how it pans out, so far I'm seeing the usual beginners hiccups (gapps, hot phone, bootloops, etc.) and when those get sorted out, maybe I'll take the leap.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
I use multirom and flashed this to my secondary (no wiping, acts like clean install). Everything flashed fine, no errors then it just hung on google screen. Waited over 5 minutes
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
i was so happy to see PA back but flashing this has been nothing but a mess. i flashed rom with newest gapps and it got stuck on the original boot. i then forced it back to recovery and without me realizing it formatted my data and erased everything on my phone. Since i didnt realize this i wiped to reflash only to see an empty storage. Had to re download the rom and gapps on my pc and use adb sideload to flash the rom through my pc and now it finally booted up.
[Nexus 6P General] sherbbibv:
Can someone post the wallpapers? They look dope AF!

Cheers !
[Nexus 6P General] DJBhardwaj:
They simply used the stock boot (kernel), and may be forgot to disable forced-encryption.

I flash PA + Nano OpenGApps + MTC19T vendor. Don't forget to flash a custom kernel or modified boot, before you boot the phone after flashing. Or else, your storage will be encrypted.
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
i booted with stock kernel. after setup i flashed elementalx and supersu. working perfect
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
Just remember that PA doesn't have have a central settings button. It's features are located in the appropriate places. So if want to switch the battery icon it's in the battery section. Quick settings can be swapped in the quick settings pull down on the fly. The ROM does have some features built in.

---------- Post added at 03:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 AM ----------

Also the word is to wipe the system manually before flashing
[Nexus 6P General] koxx.dta:
i got the same. then says corrupt and bootloop

i dont know what im doing wrong

edit: flashed elementalx during install, no more corrupt warning

Hey! Can you pls upload all the included wallpapers in hi-res.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] sjandroiddeveloper:
Is floating window mode present on this build ?
[Nexus 6P General] IcOpRo:
I was on Android N, and decided to flash factory image (T) to give this a try, I flashed TWRP and the installed this, with Banks gapps, no issues what so ever so far bootloops or hot phone. But I'm with you let's see how long to get monthly security updates, the updates its been the reason I've been running stock.

They spent 1.5 years making this and it still bricks my phone... impressive

And now all of my data is gone, just perfect
[Nexus 6P General] rohit25:
Well.. flashed the ROM... liked it for about 2hrs and then straight back to Android N dev preview... anything less than that is just not acceptable to me now...

Also I hate CMTE... have fell in love with Layers

SENT... isn't that enough
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Pretty dissapointed tbh, no exclusive features, lots of problems installing, back in the day PA used to be one of the best, now not so much. I dunno, maybe thats just me
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
You guys should use it a little more before coming to a conclusion. There are some exclusive features and I'm glad they didn't pack it with a million customizations that will do nothing but create bugs. The installation was a pain cause of the encryption but I'm glad I went through it. It's been awesome so far
[Nexus 6P General] blaze9090:
Anyone else having trouble with Amazon appstore in pa?
[Nexus 6P General] Toutatis_:
Don't blame the devs, many people successfully flashed the ROM without any issue. You did something wrong, period.

Be patient, it's the very first 6.0.1 release, I'm sure the ROM will get better and better with time. Additional features will probably be added progressively.
[Nexus 6P General] vakenT:
How is the battery so far?
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
Can't say I haven't used it for that long. I'm go Na let the ROM settle first. I'm running elementalx and Neptune so regardless I'll be good
[Nexus 6P General] vakenT:
What is Neptune? I'm running stock with a locked bootloader, really on the fence of just going for the unlock and all of the hassle, would you recommend that?
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
I meant naptime .
[Nexus 6P General] Reddit:
A lot of people are having the same problem so no I didn't just do something wrong. Anyways it's almost impossible to mess up installing a rom. Backup, reset, and install.

[Nexus 6P General] Wickidmasshole:
Ive had a few roms wipe out my phone completely - pretty sure it has to do with being encrypted or not encrypted. Its definitely not only this rom that will do that to you
[Nexus 6P General] hutzdani:
Ah PA is back, I hope OPOS took all the arrogant DEVS with them and they never returned.

I recently flashed back from Dev3, but considering the issues with some users installs I think its wise to wait another month or two before flashing this.

I never found PA to be all that great, too many features for features sake seems like they thinned it down this time around.

For anyone's who's flashed it doe sit have a proper dark system UIC like the teaser shots suggest ?
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
I'm loving the full screen mode
[Nexus 6P General] Deekayy:
Can we close this thread until PA officially creates one? So many crying and whining about no features and not knowing how to flash the ROM. If you're truly PA fans then you know that they just STARTED developing again with a new team. Of course there's no features yet, get a clue.
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
There will be no official PA thread. They moved away from XDA because of all the whining and complaining right before the team spilt up. I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason they split up in the first place.

On another note PA never had a bunch of features so don't expect the ruin of the mill features available in most Roms.

Status bar brightness slider? Prob not... network traffic indicator, prob not. I'm sure you see where I'm going. The features they will offer will be original and actually useful and most important the ROM will be stable and fluid.
[Nexus 6P General] Cadenjs:
That's one of the reasons I've missed AOSPA so much, I was so sick of every ROM having 5000+ features that I never use and find ridiculous. Personally things like custom carrier logo, the stupid ****ty alternative battery icons, etc. were just bloatware for me.

Also the circular PA battery icon is pretty badass. Minimalistic & effective for battery level at a glance.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Well its not like those features are hogging your resources. Good to have the option to use them. Also quite hipocritical of you to call custom battery icons ****ty, then admire how good custom battery icon on pa is lol.
[Nexus 6P General] Cadenjs:
I think I criticized ****ty alternative battery icons. PA's isn't ****ty :)
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Thats what i meant, why one icon is ****ty and other is not? Sorry but your point is a bit ridiculous, its upto personal taste[emoji14]
[Nexus 6P General] Cadenjs:
Sorry didn't I put this? :

Oh yeah I did. "Personally".
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
Missed that, sorry.[emoji14]Still, personally, i think this release of PA is ****ty and offers nothing you cant find elsewhere
[Nexus 6P General] Cadenjs:
Well albeit this release is a bit simple, the one feature that is 100% unique is the PA OTA updater, which is the key to the unique PA features sure to come.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
It took them 1.5years to release this, and even on release day rom was already outdated vendor-wise lol. So wouldnt count on those updates
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
Hey here is a quick tip. If you don't like it and can get more from other rooms then simply go to those threads of the other Roms and enjoy. No need to waste your time or anyone elses talking about how you don't like something. No one is forcing you to use anything
[Nexus 6P General] fracman:

The system camera app doesn't show up in my app drawer but it does in TiBu but I can't open it. Can someone let me know if their camera works or not so I know if I need to reflash?
[Nexus 6P General] LiquidSolstice:
You've been on XDA for a whopping 8 years and your ROM is still out of date--oh, what's that? You haven't created a ROM? Oh, that's right. You haven't created anything, so maybe keep your editorials to yourself.
[Nexus 6P General] ayyra2:
I finally got it to work. What i did was went back to the stock image (MTC19T). then rooted, flashed twrp 3.0.2-0, then flashed the paranoid 6.0 rom, nano opengapps and the kernel.

Which gapps are you using. Everything working smoothly for me in banks.

Sprint problems

Anyone else on Sprint having issues? It keeps trying to activate even though it has LTE service and it never finishes. I can cancel it but it keeps trying every time the phone reboots.
[Nexus 6P General] trapharder4844:
Any help please i flashed this rom now my phone wont boot up and i cant install another rom because my twrp is asking for a code to mount the stoarge.Any suggestions
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Just rolled back from NP3 to try this ROM. Very happy with it so far, granted I'm only 20 minutes into the first boot up. I'm loving immersive mode to hide the nav bar, as well as the "hover" feature. This is the Android experience I've been looking for. I chose to go with ElementalX kernel right off the bat.

By default, Paranoid Android is encrypted. Boot back into bootloader and run the following fastboot command:

fastboot erase userdata

Then reboot back into TWRP and you should be good to go. But, if you want to be decrypted you'll have to flash SuperSU to prevent the force encrypt.
[Nexus 6P General] thamajam:
Use Titanium to freeze SprintDM, it'll stop it from continually trying to activate.

Alternatively you can find the app in system and rename it from .apk to .bak which will disable it.
[Nexus 6P General] feis:
This is a forum and im free to express my opinion, so no little buddy, im not gonna keep my "editorials"(wtf) to myself. If you dont like it dont read it. As far as i know, you dont have to create a rom to share opinion. You like the rom? Please use it and enjoy, i didnt like it and i said, maybe that will save some users time from flashing if they have same requirements for rom. Peace

Here is a little tip for you, no one is forcing you to read my posts or quote me, if you dont like it dont read it and dont quote me please, i used the rom and im free to express my opinion, peace.

many in the post (and some on other places) are not flashing vendor image. is it necessary? my N6p is at MTC19T, and I rooted it yesterday only. (no custom ROMS yet)

do I need to do anything else for the encryption, as suggested by some in the thread? (modified kernel)

thanks.

1. we have a montly update from google (security patches), so depends on the ROM your flashing if they merge the latest monthly patches.

2. if you want to decrypt your /data partition just issue a fastboot command, and used any modified kernel floating here on n6p.

[Nexus 6P General] badboy47:
Xposed Framework is working. On my first boot; it got stuck on the boot logo animation but I just restarted my phone by holding the power button and then it booted fine.

Here is how I flashed (I am coming from PureNexus MTC19T):

- wipe (everything except internal storage)

- flash PA ROM

- Flash OpenGapps (I flashed the mini version)

- Flash Franco Kernel (use any modified kernel)

- Flash SuperSu (I used 2.68 version)

- Flash Xposed zip

- reboot and wait for about 10mins. If you get stuck on the boot animation screen; simply restart your phone by holding the power button. It should boot quicker now.

On my first boot; on screen animation were loading slow but after few minutes everything went back to normal.
[Nexus 6P General] fLipz:
he's asking about the OTA, hehe! off-topic for the PA Rom

[Nexus 6P General] pahlerc1:
Left NP3 to give this a go.. Well didn't do enough research last night and encrypted the phone.. But I rebooted back to BL and "fastboot format userdata" then booted to TWRP flashed SuperSU 2.74 and rebooted and all is well. Flashed Franco kernel and seems to be running nice. Got everything back on the phone. Clean, simple, and pure. Gotta love that. To everyone hating, go back to your stock ROM or wherever you came from, devs have left XDA from people whining and crying about a ROM without logs or any information on the issue. I have never created a ROM or developed anything, I just reap the benefits, and when something doesn't go right, I blame myself for not doing enough research.. Quit being petty, maybe you shouldn't be rooted. Love seeing PA back!
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Anyone else get the following error message after every boot up?

"There is an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details."

Aside from that error message everything works flawlessly. So I'm not sure what the deal is.

For reference, here is my setup:

Paranoid Android

Banks GAPPs (as recommended by Paranoid Android)

SuperSU 2.74

ElementalX 1.18

EDIT: My bad. Simple fix. I used the vendor image from the latest factory image (MTC19V) but since PA is built from MTC19T, you need to use that vendor image. Simply flashing the older vendor image solved the problem.
[Nexus 6P General] turbo1781:
You must Update your vendor Partition.
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Yeah, just realized that. But in my case, I had to roll back my vendor image to an older one.
[Nexus 6P General] AndrasLOHF:
Does Android Pay work without workarounds?
[Nexus 6P General] fbihawk:
So I don't know what my problem is. I have tried over and over and over to get this to load and I can't do it completely. I wipe, flash ROM, flash Banks gapps, flash SuperSU and the thing is stuck in bootloop for hours. Tried flashing a kernel with it, nothing. Tried leaving out SuperSU, nothing. Re-flashed the correct vendor.img, nothing. Oddly enough, the only thing that got it to load was re-flashing the ROM again without gapps and it worked! It even has the basic Google apps which is weird (even weirder is that it seems to be doubled up on apps I.e. browsers, clocks, cameras, messaging). But if I go and try to flash anything else it boot loops again.

Edit: I saw somewhere that someone had success going back to stock first. Tried it. No luck.
[Nexus 6P General] pahlerc1:
So I was on this new PA and decided to see if I could restore my DP3 backup file, well it worked but booted into recovery and had to format userdata again.. is there a way to go about flashing this without getting encrypted and having to format userdata again? I am back on DP3, and have everything back on my phone.. I should be able to flash vendor, ROM, banks gapps, and franco kernel and boot without encryption correct?
[Nexus 6P General] Smallsmx3:
I'm using SU 2.74 and FK and I'm passing safety net. I have yet to actually try AP though

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 PM ----------

If you got it to boot you should of just deleted the apps you didn't want
[Nexus 6P General] fbihawk:
I don't know if that's possible since I can't get root. I didn't verify that though. But still.... can't get root.
[Nexus 6P General] daihl92:
Just wipe, flash vendor, flash ROM, then flash gapps. Then reboot, don't flash SuperSU or kernels or anything. You can go back and do that after the first boot
[Nexus 6P General] DxTcmix:
I don't know how this is possible but I was able to add a card in Android Pay on PA with Kylo Kernel with latest Systemless root!!!! Having No SIM issues but not related to ROM (had this problem on latest PN as well not sure what's going on)
[Nexus 6P General] note3userr:
U won't be able to. ROM is encrypted so u won't be able to flash anything through twrp
[Nexus 6P General] kenbrownstone:
Been running for several days. Been running pretty good ..
[Nexus 6P General] simorangkir_dcs:
If you want to keep your data decrypted, after you flash rom gapps and vendor, you MUST flash custom kernel before the first boot. I personally use franco. Running PA decrypted now, with twrp, no problem.

---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Try format userdata, there is chance your device got stuck in the encryption process because pa ROM forces encryption. And keep in mind that by formatting userdata all of your files, data, photo, music, all will be wiped clean.

After format userdata, flash rom, gapps, vendor, and then custom kernel, or modified boot.img that does not force encryption then you will be good to go.
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
I just downloaded Android Pay and it allowed me to run through the full process of adding and verifying a card, no problem. And I even have SuperSU 2.74 + ElementalX kernel installed. I'll give the actual purchase process a test when I run to Walgreens later.
[Nexus 6P General] DxTcmix:
It does indeed fully work, don't know what kind of witchcraft is going on here but CM Theme Engine and Android Pay working together. My mind is blown!!!
[Nexus 6P General] sn0warmy:
Yeah, this is pretty awesome. I think I'm finally done ROM jumping for a while. I'm able to use a custom kernel for RGB tweaks, setup custom ROM features, including CM themes, and use Android Pay with no issues. Can't ask for more than that.
