[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaumerS4:
So my battery has been draining at an alarming rate lately, up to 20% an hour, even with the screen off. The only new app I've installed lately (besides BBS once the issue started) was the leaked Google Nexus Launcher a week or two ago. Has anyone else who installed it seen a change in their battery life? Or perhaps some other app that got updated recently and has been killing their battery too?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
In settings - battery you can see what's draining the battery.

Great to see an old standard reborn:good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] burninghouse:
does both of these are based on aosp?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cujo6801:
Well I read the op in this thread for you and it says aosp base...

Do you want me to go read the other threads op ?

"Sent from the Dog Pound"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] burninghouse:
yes that's what confusing me. both are aosp based. so does it mean that both roms are having different features?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cujo6801:
What it usually means they build off the aosp base..

But build it differently and with different features

"Sent from the Dog Pound"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Don't get confused, Liquid is based on Team Horizons base and nitrogen is based directly on aosp source from Google.

I'm not going to list down the features of each of them, it's much easier to flash and see those features.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
I don't care much about my phone being encrypted and so have always left it that way. However, this is the first ROM I've flashed in a long while that has sat on first boot telling me to wait while my device is being encrypted. Is it normal for Lineage/Team Horizon to spend time encrypting a device that is already encrypted? Not a huge deal, more a curiosity question. Usually the encrypting process just doesn't start up. Is that something that has to be added manually by a dev to bypass to save time for those already encrypted? Or I guess lastly would be the possibility a kernel or ROM would have unencrpted my device without doing anything extra which I was't aware of, is anyone aware of a kernel of ROM that has a built in unecryption feature? thanks, great work again dev!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
To be honest, I do not know how this encryption thing works :cyclops:

But it should be same as Lineage/Team Horizon

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Me too, usually see the word "encrypt" in the forums and just stop reading b/c never cared enough to keep my device unencrypted. No worries, figured I'd give the ROM a try today and just hadn't seen my device being "encrypted" during a boot up in a very long time so was just curious. Thanks again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Can you try this: Switch on bluetooth and make a call, see if something wrong happens

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Nothing unusual happened for me, worked as normal.

Edit: I just switched it on as you said, didn't actually connect to a BT device and make the call through a BT device. just making sure I tested correctly for you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks for testing mate :good:

A guy reported on G+ that it reboots if a call is made while BT is on. But it seems he's doing something wrong :laugh:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
tested while connected to BT and made calls and still worked fine so all good here. gl
[Nexus 6 Android Development] evervescant:
Really enjoying the rom so far. I was using Pure Nexus but I kept encountering the bluetooth battery drain bug so I had to switch to something else. I love the fluidity of LiquidDark and the features it has. Hoping to keep it around for a long time. A couple questions though:

1. Is anyone else having trouble getting Viper4Android to work? When I try to install the driver I get a message saying "Driver install failed: I/O error, please reboot and try again".

2. Just out of curiosity, why don't custom ROMs include the "disable throttle when battery low" fix (here). If I don't have that fix flashed, I get infuriating lag on ANY rom when under 40% battery. Just curious as to why this isn't included.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
1. Rename system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf to audio_effects.conf.bak and Viper will work.

2. Because this is just your problem, no one else faced/ reported it.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] apoorv.mehrotra:
@ evervescant

You need to uninstall VIPER now since you didn't rename / moved "system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf"

Once uninstalled, flash the VIPER zip file through recovery rename / move "system/vendor/etc/audio_effects.conf"

Open Viper, grant root permission, (Please ensure you are connected to internet). Let the driver install, be patient, OS might report that "App not responding" please ensure to tap "wait", you will get driver installed finally

Reboot :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] andrewjt19:
Does this have permissive kernel or enforcing stock?

tApPeD fROM mY nExUs 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HueyT:
Enforcing Encryption unless you flash FED Patcher or custom kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hawksronny:
Just curious - Isn't using the word DARK in your title falsely leading people to believe that your ROM or gapps are inverted? Setting isn't inverted, nothing is inverted. All white white white everywhere. Just curious as to why the work DARK is used? Ive heard of Liquid Smooth, which wasnt falsely claiming anything in the title. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Check under display and you would understand why DARK is used in the title. Nothing is claimed falsely

Just saying: It drives me crazy when people allege others without even using the work that they have done :angel:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] str8str:
What is disabling bytecode I see in op? And how can I do it

It is there by default.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] hpbrasil:
The best rom:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] VaniENES:
Really nice Rom and runs really smooth. One suggestion i would make however is that the battery percentage text inside the icon is really small when the display size is made smaller. If the text could be made bigger it would make this amazing. Thanks for all your hard work :)

Hi. I want to enable Slim recents but i can't find the setting. I miss something ? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
Hi community, rom is lovely dark and smooth, does lift to wake works for you?

Edit: my bad, it seems to have a longer timeout, sry
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
OK guys is this ROM a daily driver and how compares to Nitrogen, smoothest and battery wise? Anyone? Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Definitely a daily driver. Best way to find out about battery life is to flash it yourself and compare because it varies widely based on personal use (video streaming, games, etc). No issues for me. Flash away
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamthewookie:
This ROM is fast!....battery life is good. Only problem here is that it breaks my Substratum theme I use as my daily. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subs.compound.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
I know it says any open gapp , but out curiosity Wich packet are you using?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamthewookie:
Mini
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
? that works fine for me. What set up?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamthewookie:
Dialer kept stopping. Cast icons did not draw right. Dark Grey as default background. Kaki accents.

Using Nitrogen at the moment. However much prefer the feel or Liquid. What date are your mini gapps? I'm tempted to reflash if your having success. :cool:

Cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
I flashed a few days ago so was the 2/28 nano gapps. Do you use TBO theme ready Gapps?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamthewookie:
No. I used open gapps. I will flash TBO gapps and give it a try.

Thanks for the direction.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Should work fine without TBO, was just wondering if you did to see if it was the issue. GL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamthewookie:
Alas...no success. Full wipe. Using OpenGapps 03-030-17. Dialer minimizes..then failes to maximize then stops.

Back to Nitrogen...not as smooth...yet stable as a rock. Cheers!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Playing around I see it happens randomly too for me but it doesn't actually affect/drop the call though so no big deal. Not a ROM issue but anyway just thought I'd share. gl
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
I really like ROM , only issue is BT battery drain , is this a known issue ? I got 67% blue tooth drain in 8 hrs
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No, it's not known issue. It shouldn't do that.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
Good to know, I clean flash and used stock Gapps , nothing else Ill do some troubleshooting , any suggestions are welcome, BTW this ROM is really really really nice thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
One more thing I went out and have no data , am on Sprint, I restore backup and data came back
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Restore what backup?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
Stock, also BT keep draining battery and having hard time to keep it connected, I did like everything else about the ROM unfortunately the BT not connecting drain plus no data are a deal breaker , I guess every phone is different and my doesn't play with this really nice ROM , thank you for your hard work though, I will keep nitrogen and stock as DD, good day.

BTW I did 2 clean flash evenv factory reset and no luck:cyclops:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Something wrong with the installation I reckon.

This ROM is fully tested and there are 100+ installations. No one else has this issue

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
Yes, bt works absolute stable, no draining, I use it 6 to 8 hours a day for music at work. For sprint data issue you can test another configuration file, chmod 644, reset apn
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
Thanks I know , am not a big flasher I follow Op's to the T and I get little bugs here and there but nothing that really bother me, iam on nitro now but I'll give it a try again on my day off , so I can test it like I say a really like this ROM I want to make it work even though Nitro is my fav so far, btw the Bluetooth drain is cause by instant tethering, being enable in Google app,I just disabled it and is not showing BT drain no more, Ill try and figure no data out :svetius:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ProBird79:
This might be a known issue due to 7.1.1. Have you seen this link?: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/7-1-1-crazy-mega-bluetooth-drain-t3552572
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
I forgot to say that I'm using dark energy kernel, but I'm not sure if the massive drain you had is kernel related
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pillo85:
I took care of BT drain by disabling "Instant Tethering" in Google app settings , my BT is not even showing in battery status, my otherb issue is that I lost data, I was able to do phone call's but not internet, I'll flash ROM on my day off to try and figure it out since I really like it:good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] iamthewookie:
Issues with dialer using theme : compound have all been rectified. Theme issue only. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.subs.compound

This ROM is soo quick.

Cheers nitin! Thanks for this build.

No issues here to report. Currently jamming out with BT...no drain.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elitepad74:
It crashes every time, I tried doing a fresh install again. Now my screen won't turn back on when I'm on a call
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
So you have any additional mod installed? Kernel? Theme? If not then something wrong with your phone.

Thanks! I'm really liking this rom! How are we flashing the update if we have already flashed a prior version? Dirty flash OK or do we need to do some wipes, if so which partitions? Please and thanks :)

Anyone else having the clock app closing instantly after I try to open it?

Clock issue resolved after the SECOND time I cleared the data via Settings - Apps - Clock - Storage
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Dirty flash should be ok, just wipe the cache and dalvik cache

P.S. Remember dirty flash is a dirty flash; if in case you have any issues like FC/ bootloop then do a clean flash and then check again before reporting.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zimler:
Thanks for the reply and patience, it's been a long while since I have been flashing ROMs. Just so I am clear on the steps for the full wipe:

1. wipe all the partitions, but the internal SD card data does note need to be wiped? I'll probably just wipe it, but I wouldn't have to?

2. flash the stock factory image from google for 7.1.1

3. flash your awesome ROM

4. restore my stuff from TitaniumBackup

5. love my phone again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What ROM (and android version) are you on right now?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Slickademo:
Anyone using this ROM with project fi?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zimler:
I flashed factory image 7.1.1, n6f26u and then flashed your ROM 20170226-1732 version over that. Your ROM wouldn't install while I was still on android version 6.xx. I assumed, that your ROM patched factory 7.1.1 and should be flashed on top of factory 7.1.1.

This may be related to mistakes in my ROM flashing, but DO NOT DISTURB, priority alerts only, no longer works. Everyone vibrates through.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Did you add apps for priority alerts?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kwdan:
Echo in call

I flashed this Rom yesterday. No modifications. My wife said there's an eco on my end on the conversation. Is there an echo fix that I need to flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zimler:
---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

I did not add apps for priority notification. My understanding was that would allow them to notify during DO Not Disturb.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No, it's not needed. No one reported issue like that

Then how would it know which are the priority apps to show the notifications for?

Go to Settings -> Notification -> tap on the app and check "Override DND"

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zimler:
The apps should be quiet unless priority starred contacts send a message or phone call, I thought. If I mark the app to override DND, I'll get all notifications from the app, right? It used to be only my wife won't notify on my phone when on DND. Now everyone does.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I never used that, so I don't really have the idea. Can someone help here?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zimler:
What I meant to say was that my wife used to be the only one who would notify through the DND, no one else would. Now everyone does.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I understand that; I was talking about the feature. I never use DND so I do not know hot it atually works :(

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kwdan:
Have you selected "from starred contacts only" in DND settings?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zimler:
Thanks for the reply. I have my settings like yours. My wife is the only starred contact I have. Maybe time for a reflash, especially if your DND is working properly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KC69:
Loving the ROM so far. Everything I use is working above expectation. Thank you for bringing liquid back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BxingFetus:
[MENTION=280897]nitin[/MENTION], My device went through an encryption on installation on the 313-2217 build. Just curious but was that normal? Fwiw, it's no big deal and wanted to try your build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I'm dumb as far as encryption thing is considered. But my tester too mentioned that, so yeah, it's expected.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garyhigh:
Does anyone know how to flash this Rom without encrypting? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garywojdan81:
Flash a custom kernel in the same session after flashing the ROM/Gapps. Most custom kernels don't encrypt by default.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] greeneyez15o:
U can flash the noforceencrypt.zip after flashing ROM
[Nexus 6 Android Development] str8str:
If you look in the n6 forums and threads you'll come across a zip called no force encryption. It will be back a ways as it's quite old now but works great all the same. Just flash it after you flash ROM and gapps before you reboot for the first time that will allow you to stay on the Roms built in kernel. Other then that flash a custom kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] str8str:
Sound is not working on latest. Even with sound fix zip still dont. Flashed custom kernel still no sounds
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Clean flash? This has been tested and it works as expected

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garyhigh:
Same here sir, no sound. Came from Nitrogen. Flashed latest Liquid, nano gapps, Latest blackbird.
