Me - on the battery thread. Experience with N:

---

Before, on M, certain apps went a bit bonkers cpu-wise, ie, Twitter, which now seems to have been tamed. Before, I couldn't use it - had to use an alternate app (Fenix)

Totally stock, (locked bootloader), WIFI set to off during sleep, BT on until about 2 hr ago. That's it.

Promising!

Ok, got to re-charge now, but not too shabby. 1 day, 4h, moderate usage, now at 31%. Only 1 hr, 40 min SOT though. Still, much better than on M.

Do you need to long press POWER button to power on N5X? I noticed, I can power on the device by single, short press. It didn't work that way before...

Could you check this on your devices?

Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 5X General] imarcel99:
Any idea how to fix this annoying bug? As you can see the date is 1970
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Are you not using automatic date and time?
[Nexus 5X General] chris.k00:
I highly recommand to go back to Android 6.0.1 Security Patch 6th September!

I'm back on Android 6.0.1 now. It's a little bit smoother and a faster if everything is updated.

But if you don't update the Dialer, Contacts and Messaging App, the whole Device is mutch mutch mutch faster! I don't know why but please test it on your own! I also recommand to make a fresh install with fastboot!
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
I have been using android n and i really am happy with it. So i recommend flashing n if you dont get the update :)
[Nexus 5X General] Akopps:
So, do we have a consensus here that it is better not to install the 7.0 OTA? I was lucky to put it on hold for now.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
No, not really. I don't know if you're talking about stability or functionality, but N is working fine for a lot of people, OTA or factory image.
[Nexus 5X General] pgoelz:
Other than possibly a factory reset, what do you have to lose? You have a Nexus device and can upgrade or downgrade at will. Factory images for every revision and version of Android that has been released for your phone are available HERE.

I find Android 7.x to be the best, most stable and battery friendly version of Android since 2.x.

[Nexus 5X General] Dark Emotion:
After running 7.0 for a week I noticed worse battery performance and awful signal comparet to 6.0... I think I will downgrade my phone.
[Nexus 5X General] ABSathe:
Instead if downgrading m. Flash a factory image .. it helped me a lot

Try it and see
[Nexus 5X General] :
Which build did you flash? Because me and couple of my other friends got NRD90R via OTA. While there is new factory image with build number NRD90S is available.
[Nexus 5X General] ABSathe:
NRD90S is the one which you should flash
[Nexus 5X General] :
Thanks for the reply. I had actually flashed that build a week ago but when i saw this NRD90R build 3-4 days back i switched to that.

Also, i found a clarification on both the builds as they both are on September patches

[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
Are you guys finding more RAM is used then M and more lag overall?
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
Just tested this. Clean load of N vs clean load of M with same apps and N is averaging around 1.6GB of RAM while M is around 1.2GB. N still needs some work.

There is also a noticeable performance difference, smoother on M.
[Nexus 5X General] Akopps:
There has been quite a bit of talk about battery issues with Nougat on Nexus 5X and in general. Some people say bluetooth drains battery too fast, but for me BT is essential. I guess I'll just wait until 7.1 release next month, unless I get bored. I really like the stability of my Lollipop and Marshmallow devices. I have tweaked them by now to extent where they do pretty much what I need with great battery life.
[Nexus 5X General] andTab:
N or 7.0 is a sh!tshow at the moment.

Battery life is so bad, it's unusuable.
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
For me performance was a lot worse then battery life. Back on PureNexus for now and loving it.
[Nexus 5X General] bblzd:
Working well for me. Stock N OTA with no factory reset.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
R.I.P. your device, mine works just fine. Better, even.
[Nexus 5X General] :
I stay on LTE when I use my device and I clear 4-4 1/2 hours SOT daily on 7.0 and on Nexus 5x. Maybe use a different setup or tweak kernel differently. Happy user here. :)
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
Yep same here everything running amazingly well.
[Nexus 5X General] Harmon Rabb:
Same here. Runs much, much better than it did on M.
[Nexus 5X General] skitzo2000:
Definitely the final version
[Nexus 5X General] ErikFry:
Can't wait to see how much performance/battery life is affected. Anybody know any sources of people ready to run tests that show how much improvement Android N yields?
[Nexus 5X General] murdi:
For those that are systemless rooted with SuperSu or have TWRP, you can still install the OTA using Flashfire and keep either. At least it worked for me, no need to return to full stock.
[Nexus 5X General] tember1214:
Where is the OTA located?
[Nexus 5X General] cc999:
Beta

OK got the file update to 7.0 do I now unenrol in the beta program?

CC
[Nexus 5X General] murdi:
I got it from System Updates, under About phone in settings. I was notified in there about the OTA and given the option to download.

After that downloaded instead of rebooting from the button I opened FlashFire which automatically detected the OTA and generated a flashing process keeping root.
[Nexus 5X General] bostonirishguy13:
Worked for me.
[Nexus 5X General] cc999:
Install

How would you install that file? The unzipped file is not the normal Google Image that I could ADB - fastboot.

CC
[Nexus 5X General] -DarkKnight-:
which settings did you check?

It keeps failing for me. I only have supersu flashed
[Nexus 5X General] bsinc1962:
In Flashfire do you install as a firmware or as a zip file?

If a firmware which boxes do you pick?

Procedure

Here you go, found it:

Instructions: How to use “adb sideload”

1. First, you need to install the latest Android SDK (or at least steal the newest adb.exe from it). [Android SDK]

*This isn’t a guide on how to get the SDK installed or basic adb. There are dozens of those out there.

2. Plug in your device to your Windows machine. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled.

3. To test that you have adb up and running, and that your device is recognized, open a command prompt.

*The best place to open a command prompt is from within the Platform-Tools in the SDK. Hold SHIFT and the right-click and choose “Open command prompt…”

5. Type the following

adb devices

6. You should get a serial number followed by “device.”

015d182f9a0aac28 device

7. If you see something along those lines, your adb is working properly, for now.

8. Download the update.zip from Google to your PC that you would like to install on your Nexus.

9. Move the file into your Platform-Tools folder.

10. Type the following:

adb reboot bootloader

11. Your device will now reboot to the bootloader.

12. Use Volume Down on your device to until you see “Recovery.”

13. Select it with the Power button.

14. Your device will boot to an Android logo with a exclamation mark.

15. To jump past this, press Volume Up and Power at the same time.

*Depending on the phone, you may have to press Volume Up first, then Power. On the Nexus 5, though, you press Power first, then Volume Up.

16. You will now be in stock recovery.

17. With Volume Down, highlight “apply update from ADB.” Press Power to choose it.

18. Back to your PC, type the following command:

adb sideload <filename of update.zip>

*I tend to rename update files to something simple when I get them. For example, the 4.2.2 update for the Nexus 7 I renamed to JDQ39.zip, so my command was “adb sideload JDQ39.zip”

19. If your adb is working properly, you should see the file transfer to your device in adb.

*If you get nothing, it’s time to troubleshoot. This trick really helped me.

20. Once that finishes, your device will begin to update.

21. Once it has finished, simply reboot and enjoy the update.

No night mode? WTF Google..
[Nexus 5X General] newhor1z0n:
Could anyone give me the link for the latest fastboot/adb files and the recovery.img? I have TWRP installed right now, need to remove it asap.
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
It was removed prior to DP5. One of the Googlers already stated it's not up to their standards and may return later.

5X Stock rooted OTA

5X Update from stock rooted MTC20F via OTA to Android N final release working for me and very simple.

I signed up for the N beta per the links you have already seen mentioned.

My 5X immediately received a notification to download Android 7.0, which I did.

I backed up with TWRP to be safe.

I have SELinuxModeChange set to permissive. Don't know that this is a requirement, just my scenario.

Open FlashFire, which will see the OTA and I used the default options provided to flash.

Running final version of Android N on my stock rooted 5X and still have root. No probs at all.

FYI, looks like the radio went from 13 to 14.

Also, Chainfire has some instructions for flashing the full image with the same result as above.
[Nexus 5X General] Javi22:
I always use custom roms or stock roms so I'm not used to factory images, but now I want to try full android stock. Do I have to use the tutorial above with adb or will be a easier method soon?

Also, do you know if I'm gonna need to decrypt? (I read android N needs it for twrp to work)

[Nexus 5X General] Crateman:
I'm running final 7.0 (upgraded from DP5) and I'm trying to enable Direct Boot. According to the official android documentation, there should be an option to switch to File Based encryption on Developers Settings, but I don't see any option. Has anyone had any luck enabling it? Apparently, if you type "Enc" on the search bar inside Settings it shows you the option to "Convert to file encryption" as it was a readily available item on the Settings apps, however, clicking the option only opens Developer Options and that's it. Does this mean Direct boot is not enabled in 5X?

My device was rooted, upgraded via OTA and Flashfire.
[Nexus 5X General] dkkerry:
Sorry :) you are enrolled on the Beta program?
[Nexus 5X General] colorado_al:
If you are rooted, You should be able to flash the zip with FlashFire.

Here are the settings that I used.

You may need to do some other config after the update, but I didn't need to.

PS- I provide no warranty for your device. If you brick it, it is on you.

Its there on my Nexus 5X. It says it will wipe everything and it is experimental. Sound correct?

I'm currently on Cm13, what are the steps to get the new N zip running via FlashFire?

[Nexus 5X General] The1nonly1:
I'm on MTC20F 6.0.1, systemless root, have TWRP installed and also the new nexus launcher that i flashed in TWRP. Can I use flashfire to install the OTA if I enrol in the Beta program?
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
Just load the factory image from google and flash all. It will make your device all stock.
[Nexus 5X General] Crateman:
It enables Direct Boot. Ars Technica explains it in detail. . Basically is a new encryption that allows the device the boot all the way to the lock screen without a password. This means that if your device reboots for some reason it won't get stuck at the "Enter pin" screen, draining battery as crazy and not allowing your alarms to go through.

Commenting to say I came from Paranoid Android, used the OTA zip in this thread a few pages back, used Flashfire, and now have Android Nougat rooted with TWRP. No issues so far but I'm currently restoring my apps with google play and texts with titanium backup

Edit: haven't actually tested to see if TWRP was still there but should be. Will be next up when I attempt to flash ElementalX
[Nexus 5X General] DrStrangelove41:
Just a heads up. There's a new version of TWRP out (3.0.2-1) that fixes the freeze on TWRP splash screen issue. At least it fixed it for me. Flashed with Flashfire.

[Nexus 5X General] The1nonly1:
Instead of using twrp (as can't decrypt /data) can flash fire be used to make backups and even restore nandroid backups that were made in twrp?
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Have you tried the new twrp linked above? Im guessing the "freeze on TWRP splash screen issue" that is fixed is the one that prevented it from decrypting /data.
[Nexus 5X General] The1nonly1:
I haven't no. I'm not updated to Nougat yet as I'm trying to figure out what the best way to restore my 6.0.1 nandroid backup would be just in case something messes up.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
I don't understand the problem. If you are on MM still, any TWRP (except for the first version I think) can decrypt /data. It was only N that TWRP didnt work while encrypted.
[Nexus 5X General] The1nonly1:
I am on MM yes and can use twrp fine with it. My only concern is not being able to flash my MM backup if something goes wrong while I'm on N.
[Nexus 5X General] PiousInquisitor:
Move the backup to your computer. If you need to use it, flash the corresponding MM images, flash TWRP, push the backup to the phone, restore the backup.
[Nexus 5X General] The1nonly1:
That makes sense. I never thought of flashing stock MM and then restoring my backup if needed, thanks!
[Nexus 5X General] Eagleheart9:

Downloaded the OTA update, then opened FlashFire it detects the update so i choose Flash, the phone restart try to install but when it finish rebooting I'm still on DP5... What should I do? Am I missing any step?
[Nexus 5X General] ttakacs:
If you are rooted and have installed TWRP, to flash the OTA zip with FlashFire follow these steps:

1. Click the +plus button at lower right and select Flash ZIP or OTA

2. In the next dialog, click on the folder to which you have downloaded the OTA zip and click on the zip file

3. In the next dialog box (Options), the middle box (Mount / system read/write is checked. Leave that checked, and don't check the other two boxes

4. Click the check mark at upper right

5. In the Actions dialog, click on EverRoot and then check the boxes Inject SuperSu and Preserve recovery

6. Click the check mark at upper right and verify that you are flashing the OTA zip mount / system read/write, EverRoot is filled in as above, and in Reboot is Normal and Preserve recovery

7. Click the Flash box and you are good to go

You really don't need to relock bootloader. Just download a 6.0.1 factory image, run the flash-all file, enroll in the beta program for the OTA, and you should be good to go.

[Nexus 5X General] julespetro:
hi guys! very noob question, but I would love your help. I am running a chroma rom with twrp recovery. what do I need to do to install the Nougat on my phone? Do I need to backup my stuff, then wipe everything using twrp recovery and install the OTA rom that I got from the link using twrp or will that not work, do i need to flash the stock MM rom first?
[Nexus 5X General] NForce25:
I was running omnirom with twrp, so I just downloaded the full OTA zip, did a factory reset and flashed the OTA zip from twrp. I have to note that twrp did not survive the update, I had to reflash it.

Another question from me - is there any way to extract vendor.img from OTA zip or from running phone? Because in the zip it is in vendor.dat.new and vendor.dat.patch format. Is vendor.dat.new a simple vendor.img?

Plz dont kill me????..im on purenexus rom..oem unlockboot loader...twrp 3.2...i download full ota file 1.4gb...how can i install it??no problem to lose data or root or any thing..just want full clean install..tanx
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
If you want a clean install the best way right now is to load factory image of 6.0.1, MTC20F.

The do OTA update to 7.0.

Or wait until google has a factory image of 7.0 to load. That will be the cleanest.
[Nexus 5X General] ghaem.xh:
Tanx..and another way?? if dont want clean install and without download any factory image
[Nexus 5X General] milan187:
Well if you where on stock Rom and rooted flashfire works to load OTA image.

From a custom rom I'm not sure if it's possible.

Maybe someone else can chime in?

Loading the OTA package to a custom rom if it worked would still be a pretty dirty install I would think.

If I where you I would wait for 7.0 factory image and start clean. It could be released today or in a few days, we don't know exactly.
[Nexus 5X General] NForce25:
I wrote it earlier
[Nexus 5X General] ghaem.xh:
Tanx again..but big problem is google and my country are not so good friend???and i cant reach developer page in google site to download
