Since most other RR I have seen don't have it by default, and it's as simple as flashing the latest magisk right after flashing the rom, I would say it would be more flexible to have it excluded. That's also more flexible if magisk requires an update that isn't directly installable on top of a prior installation. Then the ROM doesn't need a change because of that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
This is exactly along my train of thought because the RR team doesn't always include the latest magisk when it becomes available right away and then you get harassed by the updater to update magisk.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pongolo:
I installed this ROM a few days ago and am liking the features and it's running very well.

I did notice today that my front facing camera is no longer recognized or working. I tried a couple of different apps with the same result. I searched through the thread and didn't see anything regarding front facing camera problems. Any ideas?

I like my phone rooted but magisk keeps driving me crazy every now and then when suddenly loosing root....:confused:

It seems like our N6 is likely to be one of the phones where this happens sometimes. These are not the sources I found when trying to solve my problem but a quick Google search:

https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/6menwv/magisk_periodically_losing_root_access_pure_nexus/

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/losing-root-t3505330 (not N6 though)

My wife's Moto G 2 and my old N4 are running on LOS with LOS' SU and everything's fine with them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Probably better as give each individual the choice of which root. I personally prefer SuperSU as don't use any apps that need to pass safety net lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] papasmurf879:
I would like the roms not rooted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
with this approach you limit yourself to find the real culprit and/or to learn how to troubleshoot.

thing is that i never ever one single time lost root on this phone and only because a certain number of people posted about loosing root and are not aware that it was in 99% of all cases user error of one or another kind does not mean that the phone is the culprit.

considering the number of rooted N6 users and the few root-loosers and even them on rare occasions does not support your assumption.

best for your is to assume that it's your mistake and deal with it accordingly, also better for readers who otherwise have to deal with non-existent

phone issues and back and forth discussions as to what's true and what is not.

after this phone has reached an age of several years one can clearly say that loosing root access with magisk that is a bit younger of course is not a N6 specific issue and most users sooner or later found out what the reason was.

this post is meant to steer your way of seeing this into a direction that helps gathering knowledge, learning to troubleshoot and make things work.

[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] just tell me about the sound mods and changes you did,how did you do it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
In Device, I modified the audio_effects.conf to prevent sound delays when notifications come in. Also in device, I modified the audio_policy.conf to add additional sampling rates above that of stock. The biggest and most noticeable change of all however, took place in device's mixer_paths.xml, where I increased the max output of the speakers and headphone jack. You can find all of those changes here in this commit: https://github.com/IAmTheOneTheyCal...mmit/a87eb5384419c1096a42bf1e3368d9640bac6dc8

I also added all of my sounds and ringtones from all the roms I've ever made dating back to 2012 in this commit: https://github.com/IAmTheOneTheyCal...mmit/1e59696c4ef64bd5298460ddddcf9ab9db40a85e

Tons of them are from original soundtracks that I've modified to increase audio levels and remove static/distortion. I've been proud to find many of them in other works over the years so I know people like them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
I have the issue of speaker audio (music app, Spotify, yoo-toob) getting softer after a couple seconds, apparently this is a bit of a known issue on the n6? Anybody have a solution?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
That happens after notification sounds. Rather than decrease the sound temporarily at the time of the notification, it gets delayed until 1-2 seconds after the notification which renders the sound decrease useless. I've only ever noticed it on the Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
On YouTube for example it starts loud, then gets soft and stays that way, if you pause the video and restart it will start loud again and get softer after a couple seconds. It's very frustrating.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Oh? That's something entirely different. I haven't noticed that at all

Edit: What kernel are you using? Also, are you adding any sound mods into the ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drzak:
I have this same speaker issue no matter the rom the kernel it was there even on stock ...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Sounds like you have hardware issues gentlemen. I've never had that issue with this shamu device. Tried it just now and the sound never changed from the level it started at just to make sure.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drzak:
That's the 4th Shamu I own with the same exact symptoms .. this is a massive Shamu issue ..

Search on Google .. Nexus 6 volume normalization .. you'll get shocked from how many cases you'll encounter
[Nexus 6 Android Development] greeneyez15o:
I thought that was a battery issue :/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
This.

I've tried all kinds of fixes, nothing works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
I know the issue isn't ROM related, but since there aren't any issues with the ROM to discuss (dead stable, no problems at all), I thought maybe somebody had a fix.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aayush0710:
I wake up to see this... Why is Bluetooth draining humongous amount of battery? Couldn't find any fix among the recent posts.

Were you getting this kind of drain with the ROM included kernel? Also, is that the stock battery monitor you're using?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Going back on a previous post [MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] I flashed the October build with one of those newer kernels and it's booted fine. Really unsure what the issue is with newer build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] any chance you might use blackbird as a base for your rom going forward, since REV3NT3CH has retired one of my favorite kernels for n6 is no longer being updated. So figured I would see if my favorite rom would integrate my favorite kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
You mean use Blackbird kernel instead of the stock kernel? To change the ROM's base would mean it wouldn't be RR anymore as they modify Lineage OS's base and I wouldn't do that.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Ah, wasn't thinking about that, yeah if you change base kernel you would no longer be able to sync updates easily. Shame such a good kernel will no longer get updated but I see your point.

Thanks,

[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] Do yo know offhand if RR or neo RR has the unlimited tether hack included?

Also can we implement this into your next build?

I can't get WiFi direct to work on this ROM. PDANet+ allows tethering but only with WiFi direct on T-Mobile. Does anyone know of a way to get that to work? Thanks!

I'm on latest build with OpenGAPPS from 12/18 stock. No kernel changes. The error message I get is Google Play Services has stopped the second I try to enable WiFi direct, but I can connect as guest, just not host.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rajperth:
Help!

Hi everyone, major problem, was running old build fine, just dirty flashed 12/12 with davlik/cache wipe. Now phone won't boot and keeps going to the OEM bootloader page - it is explaining reason as 'invalid boot image header'.

I desperately need to get this back up and running...I committed the cardinal sin with no image backup. Data still there but need app data back up or could I dirty flash the October ROM?

Thanks in advance

Raj
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
You could try flashing the older build but if that doesn't work, then I'm afraid you'll need to clean flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rajperth:
Thanks Neo,

Not sure why this happened or why I decided to to this before backing up :(

I'll try that next, but before I do, does anyone know if I can backup the app data (really only need Textra) before I inadvertently wipe the phone with a full clean flash?

TWRP is running so I did manage to back up all my pics/data - now I really need some app data (Textra primarily or SMS's)

Thanks in advance

Raj
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
Go into TWRP, do a full backup.

Now dirty flash the old ROM, boot. If still not good, do a factory reset in twrp, get booted into ad android, then boot into twrp and do full backup. Now do restore, data partition only. Reboot.

If you still have issues restore your first backup, now restore the backup you did with the clean wipe, but only system/boot partitions, reboot into android.

If none of these work you'll have to mount the ext4 partition in linix or wondows (VM or app) and get some app to read your texts or something.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Best for texts and calls is SMS backup+restore from playstore, it's free and doesn't need root and give options to backup almost anywhere( phone/drive/Dropbox)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ProjectAlly:
Give this man a cookie!

Maybe cake?

Whatever he's in to!

Finally somebody who knows and uses SMS Backup & Restore. It's great. Saved me a few times during clean flashes, or complete system wipes. :good:

[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION]

By the way, the 12/12 build is running phenomenally!

My old Nexus and it's battery have never lasted this long before. Thanks for giving this old phone some life.

@neo didn't you build a 1 off for 6p? I'm looking at getting one for £190 , 64gb but needs new battery which I'll swap out if I get it. Is it worth? I mean for now Google still fully support it or should I start saving now for pixel XL 3 lol, £800 for xl2. Don't won't a phone from network anymore as bought the LG G6 last June on contract and sold it last week as shamu is way better overall.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
That's the one I use. Use automatic backup to google drive every night. Feels much better knowing my stuff is safe if my ROM craps out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I made a build for 6p. It's on my AFH
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Admiral2145:
Running that old kernel with a new rom doesn't hurt security or the rom being newer / updated
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
Your 6P build echoes for the other person. Can't be the radio because the other RR doesn't do it, might be your audio tweaks.

Have you updated your build since the one I used?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Nah, probably should though
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ProjectAlly:
Yeah...it is old...

I'm not entirely sure it's a security risk.

If it is maybe I need to switch up.

Don't know of anything that will run as well or give me battery life as much as Blackbird.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rajperth:
Thanks for all your help everyone. I tried most of the suggestions but in the end knew it would be difficult with Textra anyway, so I decided to essentially use a 6 week old backup of Textra and import current texts with Pulse.

I'm going to see how Oreo performs but will likely be back. I always use SMS backup in the past but just hadn't... Now setup for daily back up!!!

Cheers, Raj
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Well seems I'll be using that build my good man as got a working 6p for £170 with a small amount of damage to rear casing so also got a new casing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] I don't wish to be a burden but any chance you could do a Jan build at some point for 6p? If not I totally respect that as I know you don't own it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
This is damage but I bought a new rear casing too as I love stripping and rebuilding phones lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I will do a shamu and an angler build this week. Might try and wait for Google's Jan security release though, haven't decided yet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
O crap haha need to get used to the new device name lol, and thank you sir, only gone 6p as still supported for now and don't like 1st gen pixels as too much bezel and lack of dual speaker's.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Well having got the 6p it's all good, running latest Jan patch on stock which means all 8cores are running too. And that pictured damage is so small it's barely noticeable. So again thank you [MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] for one of the best time for Shamu ( personal opinion) and look forward to a 6p build when you get round to it, until then it's staying stock but ready to be unlocked.[emoji16][emoji16]

Sorry for the late reply and happy new year to all of you :D

magnamentis, I'm really thankful for any advice and I can absolutely imagine making a lot of mistakes but I don't have the slightest idea what I might do wrong with Magisk. I use my phone in a very normal way (some texting, some emailing, some phoning, a little navigation here and there while youtube is more fun to watch on my TV etc.); I don't even touch Magisk and still I loose root (though I now have the theory it might be caused when there is an update for Magisk available).

Anyway, I've not decided yet how to cope with that (and I'm a little hopeful this problem will vanish on Oreo ;)).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Looks like Google released their January Security patches. However, we need to wait on Lineage to back patch them all. I still intend to wait before building until that happens.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
unfortunately there are too many possible combos that could cause your problem which makes it difficult to guess right because without further information indeed guesswork it would be.

if you really want to find out what is causing your issue you can do the following:

a) be sure that magisk is the last zip you flash at all times after any kernel, rom etc. flashing

b) clear magisk app data and get rid of any module and use default settings to start with

c) if the above two things are and/or were ok and the problem persists you have to do a incremental clean install, following the

. procedure described in the link below and don't make large increments, do small ones and perform nandroids after each step and

. keep a few nandroids back in case you overlook something and have to go back more than one step.

d) p.m. me in case you have specific question that can be answered. especially provide detaild input as to what exactly you did

. and IN WHICH ORDER ;) many users don't pay attention to the order they perform tasks while often the order, i.e. flashing order is essential.

the troubleshooting procedure, meaning the basic idea how to either get rid of or at least finding culprits for unaccounted for issues is neither device nor rom specific, hence don't hesitate to apply the stepps no matter that it was written in the OP2 thread. i can tell you that the success rate when performed properly is 100% if no hardware failure was the reason for a specific problem, meaning that either the non-compatible or bad piece of software was found or that the problem could be resolved.

some shy the effort because it's quite some work and when done well takes a day or two to get back to previous state. i say that if the effort is too great the problem has not been big enough. last but not least the know-how acquired in the process has it's value for a long time into the future, this because one has to pay attention to many small little details that are rarely recognized under normal conditions

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
In the meantime, perhaps you guys can help me figure out a problem my wife is having with her HTC 10...

So I bought the 10 outright from the vendor about a year ago. It was a great phone but the battery life kinda sucked from the get go. That however, isn't what my problem is about.

About a month ago, her phone hasn't been quick-charging (or regular charging for that matter) with her original quick charge 3.0 brick and cable. It will start the charge when connected for about 3 seconds, and then disconnect and reconnect again in "slow charge mode" with a warning that can't be swiped aside informing you that it is in slow charge mode and to use the originally included charger.

It does this if I use my quick charge brick for my shamu as well, both bricks of which will quick charge my phone no problem.. When I pull up ampere to check the power draw on her phone with both my brick and her brick, it doesn't charge for any more than 80-250ma, when it should really be pulling near 2,000ma.

So, in my journey to solve the issue, I have done the following and replaced myself:

Taken all of the OTA's (she was 4 behind the current one).

Cleared battery stats and wiped the cache partition in recovery.

Replaced the cable (OEM)

Replaced the charging port (OEM)

Replaced the battery (OEM)

Replaced the screen (because it's not saying what I want it to say and keeps showing slow charge mode... Kidding. I cracked the lcd behind the digitizer when carefully attempting to remove it from the phone. Super super fragile unfortunately)

Replaced the Brick (OEM) (Untested as I ordered it on-line and have not received it yet so who knows?)

Any other ideas? Perhaps a way to override the firmware/software control that forces it into a low charge state? I was very disappointed to see that the issue was still present after replacing the charge port and battery, as it was an extensive procedure.

This phone cost me near $700 when I purchased it in cash and I've already thrown about $80 into it to fix this issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Som3guy:
Heya,

enjoying the ROM so far but I would love to know if someone can tell me what's this weird bug in the quick settings I keep having throughout all the ROMs so far. Whenever I want to edit the quick settings and wanna drag a tile from far down there to the top, it kind of disappears during the dragging process.

This can be seen here and it was also reported here: https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-1199

So I guess this bugs origin is in lineageOS and therefore many other ROMs also have it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] neversaynever:
AFAIK, some OEM firmware do have it configurable for quick charging. I've noticed the cable is the culprit 99% of the times when a phone is charging slowly. I've even had some cables die on me, until I moved to the higher quality Anker ones.

That said, something like this is very reliable in testing charging speeds (especially if you want to test on a phone powered off) : https://www.amazon.com/Display-Tester-Current-Detector-Charger/dp/B015F83X0U

Good luck with the phone. Also, will probably try out your ROM as a last resort before buying a new phone (am on Dirty Unicorns at present).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Thanks for the tip and hardware link, (piperdaddy ;))! I might have to pick one up as that looks pretty handy. I currently use the Ampere app to see voltage info but it would be nice to have something like this to rule out the brick or cable. I picked up a Mcdodo USB-C Type-C 3.1 Quick Charger Cable. Looked like the best of it's kind. Still had the same issue though which caused me to rule the cable out as the culprit.

There's a workaround other than the change display size mentioned in the bug report; go into the Configurations menu of Settings, then Quick Settings and Advanced. Turn on "Easy Tile Add". With this on, if you long press a QS tile it will poof it up into the visible/selected tiles. From there, you can move it around to where you want.
