A customer of mine actually had the same happen but like yah said it was already failing. Good thing that it didn't collapse completely I was about to recover and move everything to his new SSD now he won't have issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] medichloreans:
Problem solve. Change to Beans Gapps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ahmad Rady:
I am on RR Final build; can I move to your ROM without clean install?

Is there any specified suggestions or instructions for dirty flash?

BTW, I flashed RR Final + OpenGapps "Aroma" + updated Magisk to 14.3 nothing more.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verossa_jz:
I install the latest version of your ROM, then put the OPENGAPPS (stock).

After loading ROM, I enter the Google account data, and then the recovery takes place, but the interface starts to crash.

What should I do?

The installation is done cleanly.

The TWRP version is the latest.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Try a different set of Gapps like Bean's, or use a smaller installation of official gapps. I personally use pico just for Google play services and framework, then reinstall whatever I need from the play store.

Make sure to install gapps immediately after flashing the rom and then wipe cache/dalvik before reboot.

As some of you may have figured by now, that lovely display of hostility and me breaking pins due to voltages in a kernel was all for show :laugh:

orangekid is a friend of mine and loves to troll from time to time, be it boredom or a need to get some excitement in this thread. He's also a recent former Senior Moderator/Moderator Committee member who we all dearly miss and wish would come back to work :silly:

For the record, it is possible to burn a usb port via messing with voltages to usb fast charge, but I highly doubt you could ever make the pins melt or snap through that process. Additionally, I never recommend over-volting anything on your phones.

For another record, his pins did break, but it was due to wear and time which inevitably happens to us all. He was fully aware of that and not idiot enough to blame it on firmware.

Thanks to all of you who came running to my defense though! You guys rock.

orangekid, Neo, pstevep, and The Merovingian take a bow.

In other news, I may be releasing a Lineage-15.0 build today. This time, the screen doesn't stay off when trying to wake it from sleep. Additionally, the brightness slider works again. I have tested it also with the latest Magisk so it will root. Gonna throw my Neofied changes into it and flash it again today.

The only thing I noticed is after the very first boot, it will perform a fast/quick 5 second reboot and then is stable after that.

I am aiming for this evening to deliver.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] I'm just curious: what ROM are you using right now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
The one I built yesterday: Lineage OS 15.0 (Oreo) using the latest available android-8.0.0_r23 branch. Been on it for the past 24 hours.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
So this is plain lineage with a neo secret sauce?

There are 2 main features I use so will ask... does it have expanded desktop and back to kill

If not wont stop me from running it btw :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
Lies.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verossa_jz:
Tried all possible versions of gapps, cleared all the memory, but still there is an interface error.

I checked the MD5 amount, everything is fine.

What should I do? I also tried to install an official PP, but the error is repeated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Nope, and nope lol. It doesn't even have advanced reboot features either. It's plain Lineage OS with Neo Sauce. It's not even rooted so I have to modify the updater to install a Magisk package that I will toss into the rom so it will root. It's very Vanilla Lineage

:p

Does the rom run fine if you don't flash gapps? You downloaded ARM 7.1 gapps, right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verossa_jz:
Yes, ROM works well.

GAPPS ARM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
So coming in on the ground level thats not sure thats a bad thing either, come to think of it :D as almost all features i can think of i would use can temporarily be given by apps loaded from appstore... ok you convinced me to load it when you post :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
Neo you should check out the AICP Oreo source. It runs very nicely.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I've been busy with another project today, so my Lineage OS 15 build will be tomorrow night (27 hours from now).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HaRdC0r3:
I noticed an angler build....you got a 6p? All the same Neo mods like Shamu?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
Neo got caught like a boss..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Ha, good eye. No, I still have shamu. I built that for orangekid since he's on angler now. It hasn't been tested yet and it carries most of my changes. You're welcome to test if you have a 6p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Look at the sources and' you'll see that shamu on AICP is Lineage :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
I've tried a couple 8.0 ROMs, none of them would let me move the nav buttons, maybe minor, but I really really hate the back button on the left.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Is your bootloader updated, twrp version?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
Honestly sounds like dude should fastboot flash complete stock then reflash twrp and try to flash again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Yeah something sounds borked
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
dear [MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] will we see RR version of oreo in the future ?

plz say yes:confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] verossa_jz:
What's the matter? I do all wipe and then install ROM and GAPPS package (pico). After that do wipe cache and davlik. The phone starts, I enter their data guggl account, Wi-FI, choose the apps to restore after you set up the voice assistant. Then on screen is written restore" and it should load the desktop, but I get an interface error and then black screen.

Tried to install your build of RR, but RR official, but with the same result.

When you install other firmware all right. What's the problem? Earlier never faced, and Android smartphones I sew about 5 years.

I apologize for my English.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
When the RR team brings their sources up to Oreo, yes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Might have something to do with you restoring apps that were meant for Nougat onto an Oreo platform. Perhaps try going through it all without restoring your apps?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
thank you :svetius:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Totally forgot about magisk and the flashing problem before uploading. The ROM isn't ready and will be coming down so for those of you quick draw downloaders out there, don't flash it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Just a heads up I'm not sure if it will matter or not, I'd def check and make sure y'all updated y'all's bootloader before jumping to Oreo. Last week when I tried a few different ones I had a boot loader dated back in like March and it would cause some weird non booting issues. As soon as I updated that it was fixed.. so just something to keep mind of. Could of been a fluke but never know
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cujo6801:
No fluke..

Definitely need to be on the latest bootloader

"Sent from the Dog Pound"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
So I've had just about enough of my Oreo build, lol.

I modified it to allow it to flash ok and boot. It also flashes magisk for you as well as install the necessary app. However, it only roots the phone HALF the time for whatever stupid reason. Also, sometimes you can have a good flash, others will have a bad flash. A GOOD flash is having only 1 hot reboot when LTE first initializes after your first boot. A bad flash is the rom boot looping after the first hot reboot, forcing you to reboot it manually to get it to come back up, followed by possible random hot reboots during the day.

I miss have b2k, statusbar sleep, advanced reboot options, and so much more. I will be dropping Oreo for now until the RR team brings their source to date.

Today I will begin refreshing source and building a fresh nougat build of my Neo variant of RR.

Then, IF I have time, I will look at trying to bring the MM platform up that some of you have been requesting for months.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
Right on bud.

Don't be one of those A Holes who puts put a half baked featureless Oreo build just so you can say you did it.

I say wait till the features are there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 9wire:
I've tried a couple Oreo builds, they're just not quite there yet. I prefer functionality and features over being on the bleeding edge.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
ya , any one who tried your perfect RR 7.x.x roms will never live with stock or semi stock android even if it was oreo . so take your time boss :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FCORivers:
I'm used to go to Twitter for funny stuff but this charging port episode is the funniest thing I've read today. Lol

[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] since I have another phone now I just flash the nexus6 to play with crap but I always keep a backup of your latest rr version available in case something goes wrong. They always work and i wish you guys see how I got this phone out of the box. Almost three years later the charging port is as loose and flimsy as the first day. Ever since I turned it on I've been waiting for the charging port to fail, lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dannycellestio:
I plan changing to a 6P, and also keeping the N6. I hope Neo will still have mercy for [MENTION=1698146]orangekid[/MENTION] and build RR Neo for him so I can have it too. #not-egocentrical-at-all
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fahrer17:
So what is the latest version and do you maybe have a link where we can get it from?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Haha. I debated deleting it all but I though, eh, it was a collaborated performance so might as well leave it.

I bought my N6 used from dottat for a very generous friend discount. The charging port was already a little loose when I got it and he had made me aware of it. Since then I've been waiting for it to go out but I take decent care of it so it still holds out ok. I do have to keep it plugged up with a relatively new micro usb cable though. Otherwise, the pins won't line up and we all know how frustrating that is.

You mean, this?:

I was thinking of getting a 6P but what's the real deal regarding the alleged hardware caused rebooting issue, anyone knows?

Hi,

Anyone having problems with latest N build and camera please? Both build in Camera and Google camera cannot be opened. They instantly FC.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Just wanted to say rom is a winner with a new battery and Franco kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Quick question guys, I've purchased these in the hope of a cheap upgrade to 64gb storage. Do you think I can get them working? Both look like battery damage by hopefully not damaged the motherboard. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/162736100245

Agreed, no better combo
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
You probably can
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Should be fine to be honest, and of course the phone is really easy to change that stuff out as long as yah go easy on the glue part.. I didn't even have to use a heat gun just time. I might need to get some new adhesive though
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Yeah will do, just going to use mother board and back cover hopefully
[Nexus 6 Android Development] awandroid89:
Which RR build date you use?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I just uploaded the one I built yesterday or the day before so..

Update is out! Enjoy
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Turns out 1 of the motherboards is a 32gb and other has damage to power/volume button connection on main board but does charge, I know the wireless charger turns on the phone and I have 2 more 32gb boards for spares so I'll try to change the component over and test. Both had blown battery's but are well old as the one that worked is still on 5.0 and not unlocked haha

November patch?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Nope. Google hasn't pushed it for N yet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Good looks, young one. I'm still on M.. How was the Oreo experience?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Eh, not so great. I like RR too much. I did notice however that it felt smoother though and possibly quicker? Can't wait for the RR team to bring their source up to O.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
Ok fair enough, one last thing if I may, is it easy to change the power connection on the motherboard?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
If you're referring to the micro USB cable connection soldered to the main board, then no. It's like performing microsurgery and it's not forgiving if you mess up. Just ask Apophis.

A lot of new devices now have the micro USB connection as a replaceable ribbon that makes it super easy, but our N6 just isn't one of em.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jimbomodder:
It's the connection that's on the motherboard for the power/volume rocker button ribbon cable that's shot. Shows charging symbol but just can't switch on and really hoping that one is a 64gb. I have currently 2 spare 32g boards both shot around micro usb port. May ask a friend who works at a PCB company to switch erm over, I was disappointed though as add stated 2x64gb and first one was a 32gb but hay still a spare board that's not been updated since October 2014!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Does anyone know where in the world the haptic feedback vibratory intensity scale moved to? It used to be in "Other Sounds"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
On stock you select your keyboard setting in virtual keyboard under languages and input.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Thanks. It's not there for this source. I assume the RR team removed it. I'll have to investigate to see if I can bring it back. Adjusting the vibrator intensity for notifications/keyboard was a big thing for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Are you looking for this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Yes. Vibrator Intensity. I don't see it on my latest build.

What date and build number are you currently running?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Yours. The latest one.

OOOOhhhh I think I know what happened. I flashed Franco Kernel. Thanks for confirming it was still there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
No problem.

Every single time I'm coming back from testing another ROM I use your latest build. I didn't find any other stable ROM for falling back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
latest one, also was able to achieve about another 30-40 mins by using a magisk module (Enable Doze for GMS) + add servicely and naptime to. Oh and a black substratum theme and I'm pretty confident I'm getting the best bat life I can out of the n6 without loosing much performance

oh and almost forgot after doing Lspeed tweaks that has pushed my bat life I believe to 5 hours, ill get a accurate read this week thought to verify

Having some trouble with adding quick settings tiles. I'd like to add caffeine, but it's way down in the list. When I try to drag it up, the list scrolls up until there are 9 tiles above it off-screen, then 'lets go' of the tile. Same thing if I try to drag any tile from low on the list.

Also wondering if a livedisplay/night mode tile is in hiding anywhere. I see discussion back in the spring that it should come around in upstream releases but can't seem to find it

Clean flash of RR-N-Neo-v5.8.5-20171108-shamu-Unofficial with pico open gapps.

For easy tile add just go to Configurations/Advanced and enable Easy tile add. After that you can only click on the tile you want and it will be added. No drag anymore.

i had to look it up for a moment to find i read the OP and clicking everywhere and nothing was taking me to the nougat build, is not like it would say: latest build: [link for the Rom here] or at least nougat build : [link here] is not like that just the list of the features then the thanks section and then a long message with no link to the latest one, i'm i wrong? did i overlooked?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] rajperth:
Strange situation has occurred and needing since help please.

I've searched this thread, the forum and Google. I think it's a cross between some problems and solutions but hope there is a simple answer to avoid reinstalling the ROM.

I've had the ROM going great for a couple of weeks. Other than occasional lag or stutter, it's great.

I use headphones for calls sometimes and notice the volume really loud. I simply pull the buds out of my ears to deal with it. However I think I might have unplugged the headphones during a call (not 100% sure).

Problem - when I go to make or take a call, instantly upon hitting dial or answer, the screen goes off. Clearly I can't hang up and cannot access the screen until the person hangs up. Them I need to hit power on a couple times to get screen back on.

But if I plug my headphones in, screen seems to work. I've tried combinations of plugging and unplugging phones back in/out during and other than in a call. No avail. It's not hardware, in confident of that.

Any suggestions on what the problem might be and solutions? Just got phone set up how I want out, really rather not wipe and start again.

Thanks in advance, Raj
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
So you are using this ROM released on November 8 for... couple of weeks???
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Not sure of your screen issues, but I did raise the max volume levels of everything in the rom, especially earbuds. Just turn the volume level down with the volume rocker (keys).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] which kernel offers greater battery life for your 11/8 release? Franco, Elementalx,...?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
That kind of question is relative to your daily use which encompasses a huge list of things. Additionally, I usually run the stock kernel so I can't speak with authority on the matter. There are some in this thread who are obtaining excellent battery life through a few changes of their own, which involve different kernels. They're probably your best source for info on the matter.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rajperth:
Thanks Neo, yes volume is as low as it will go with rockers. Thanks anyway. Might have resolved screen issue by research, just have to test. Could be unrelated to ROM. Appreciate you looking at it.

Hey [MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION], I've managed to find a 64gb version on eBay cheap but it's the xt1103 model, what's your opinion on whether it will work in UK or not on O2.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dannycellestio:
[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] do you plan any build for the weekend? I wanted to do a system-data-cache full f2fs conversion since I've been testing it for a while until I updated the ROM and put me back on ext4. And you know what burden to convert to can f2fs be, that's why I'm asking
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Is there even anything left to build? I would bet RR is started on O and his last build updated security patches, so what's left to build?

I see this last build as a Final except perhaps for security updates. Am I wrong in seeing it this way?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
what do you mean by last security patches? the security patches in the latest build are from October, not November
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I thought about doing a build, but nothing much will have changed. Small things to Google source, but nothing security related. They still haven't pushed the November Security update for N, as they're obviously focused on O now. That's not to say that they won't eventually ans they continued to do for M, but it's taking forever and I'm getting impatient lol. My last build is still on the Oct security patch as adm1jtg mentioned. The RR team is still making minor changes to N, but I'm sure they're focused on O now. If you guys want me to make a build today, I can, but it won't be all that updated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
It's up to you if you build it or not. Anyways, it's the best ROM for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Wouldn't hurt. Every Friday used to be my thing after all. I'll let you guys know when it's ready.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Well, might not be a build today after all lol

I rebooted the server after updates and such and it never came back up. Unless I can run by there at some point to reboot, it won't happen today.

EDIT: Was able to run by the house during my lunch break to reboot it. Got back to work and still can't access <_< Not sure what's up but there won't be a build today.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dannycellestio:
If you have the time to do so, strike us up, tbh I just want it for the sake of the build date and for the peace of mind that I'm "updated", you know :))

Edit: nvm didn't see the last posts hahah
