[Nexus 6 Android Development] photolarry:
So is this safe to flash and does it have NRD90M as the build? I am just curious if I already have DP5 whether this matters and would get me to final. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
This won't get you to final, To get final Stay on DP5 or Stock MM and wait for OTA
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheCoryGuy:
So what does this mean, Nougat for Shamu...? I'm not quite sure I understand.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JNewms:
It's exactly what it sounds like.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
It doesn't show up in About phone, but this was compiled on the 7.0.0_r1 tree which is NRD90M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheCoryGuy:
So informative!

Seriously though, is shamu a nickname for Nexus 6 or something? I just got an Android a few months ago.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] photolarry:
So does it all function properly? I've seen how Gapps and other things might not work. I'm scared to flash this
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JNewms:
Yes, every device has a name like this. Shamu is Nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] photolarry:
Yes Shamu is code name for moto Nexus 6

Angler is 6p....bullhead is 5x
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
If you are not sure whether you should flash it or not, your best bet is to wait for Google to get the official images out, which should hopefully happen in several days. To answer your question, most things should work properly. A few tweaks are required for GApps to work smoothly, though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] photolarry:
I'll wait. This seems like it wouldn't gain anything in my case
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Albinoman:
How did you guys get Gapps to work? Wont even do setup....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
Try some build.prop magic to skip the Setup Wizard:

ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED

Then, grant Google Play Services all permissions to get rid of the constant FCs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] replica102:
You can just skip setup without editing the build.prop. Just tap on the four corners of the screen, starting from top left, clockwise. Do it right, and you'll get sent to home screen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
Didn't know this one! Thank you :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Has anyone tried this as secondary in multirom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] glockman4519:
I am downloading now and am going to try as secondary. I will let you know.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] glockman4519:
No go for secondary. It will not finish the flash and gives a fault "incomplete zip" I did pull the TWRP log right after and I will look at it to see if I can see anything but I'm not that android Savoy.. Lol... I also tried as primary and it did flash with a fault. But it said it was successful. But as soon as I swiped to install the Open 7.0 pico gapps, it immediately rebooted into the start screen to pick the boot rom. I think i will hold off until a later time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] serch826:
It works fine you just should make a factory reset after flashing gapps (i flashed the stock open)and do the 4 corners method, mentioned here to stop the setup wizard and the permissions for the google play services, all this i did as single Rom in my phone, not in multirom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuekiin:
Had problems setting everything up (especially gapps), but now everything is working and it is buttersmooth and blazing fast :good: :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] glockman4519:
I will have to try that. Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HueyT:
1) Force encrypt

2) RIL broken for VZW--LTE works for data but 2g won't make phone calls--maybe why official release for Shamu delayed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
root works with elemental x if you use magisk phh superuser
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lawlrus:
Yeah, ive been back on here reading the last few days and I've seen a lot of people posting that there's possibly a baseband issue with the official release, and that's why its being delayed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Im able to use multirom via the following method:

1) Used multirom to copy my primary MM ROM to seconday.

2) flashed regular TWRP to recovery

3) Wipe Primary without wiping internal

4) flash Nougat, kexec custom kernel, gapps, etc

5) reboot

6) flash multirom back to recovery
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikaole:
For me N is already a daily driver. Mobile bug is gone and it's smooth and stable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KingpinZero:
I read your sig and it gets me curious. What is Velocity Nougat? Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] liam_davenport:
A quick google search will find what you need ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KingpinZero:
Well i did it and results arent good lol, the few results i got are from this thread, my very own post. So i'm at loss.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
The Google search should get you to a Dutch forum. From there you should be able to find it.

Search: Mikaole Velocity Nougat
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikaole:
Dutch no way:) German
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
I'm sorry, my deepest apologies!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kidhudi:
do you think it is possible to just flash the system.img over the latest preview?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexBrookes:
How does this ROM hold up? How does it compare to dp5 for example? Battery life, performance?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Everything works great here! Tethering isn't enabled by default. But I was able to get it working using standard method of adding

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

To the build.prop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
Hm... I'm unable to install OpenGapps on top of any AOSP Nougat ROM I try. If it helps, every time I install the ROM TWRP says : "E: unkown command [log]" twice then if I try to reboot into system is says there is no system installed but if I reboot it, the device boots into the system just fine. Another piece of info, when I install the GAPPS, it goes fine without errors but the files themselves dont get installed to the system. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
I had a small issue flashing open Gapps but figured out a work around. I flashed ROM, then custom kernel, then Gapps. The Gapps caused twrp to crash and my device to reboot. I immediately held the hard reset buttons and used the bootloader to go back to recovery. Then I flashed Gapps again and it didn't cause a reboot.

I would make sure you flash a custom kernel before Gapps so that when it reboots, it doesn't start to encrypt your device.

I didn't try this, but maybe if after flashing ROM, you use twrp to reboot back into recovery before flashing Gapps, it won't crash and cause device to reboot?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
Nothing seems to be working :/ which firmware package are you using? I'm using the NDP5 bootloader etc so that may be causing errors
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
An earlier one, maybe DP3?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
I'll try and see if the latest MM bootloader works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
I'm not on mm, it's one of the earlier n previews. Here a screenshot with the baseband version. My bootloader is the matching one
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
Nope. MM Bootloader still gives the same effects

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I cant find the proper bootloader to download as the factory images arent available for me anymore
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zelendel:
It could be a signature issue as the new update will not allow system apks that have old signatures. The dev of apktool is talking about it as we speak
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ANDR01DN00B:
I was able to get N on my Nexus 7 2013 using the same gapps package, so idk what the problem could be. It's really a shame Google is late pushing the ota to us.

I already have 71.21 installed :/ Wtf is going on lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zhaofeng Li:
GApps not showing up in system is caused by dm-verity. Try using a custom kernel like ElementalX or flashing this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thawte:
What isn't working on this build? Is it able to run apps off the play store?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] canezila:
Just updated my wife's 5x. It's running great. ..... And I keep checking the DEV image dl page hoping they update our shamu.... I check way too much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexBrookes:
How does this rom compare to DP5?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jasonsymack:
anyone able to get WhatsApp to work on this ROM? i get force closed when its trying to search for my backups
[Nexus 6 Android Development] eocobby721:
Same here can't access WhatsApp back from M.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fuekiin:
So far everything is working perfect for me. Except restoring my Backup in WhatsApp and using snapchat. And there is a volume bug for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alphaandomega:
Man, thank you. And by the way, Google sucks ba*ls! They are acting like the Nexus 6 team has been caught by surprise by the release of the final Nougat.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Got all working except a proper root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:

First you have to flash the magisk zip, then flash phh magisk sure zip, then install phh superuser from play store
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SageWilliams:
I am still getting Play Services FCs after allowing all permissions and rebooting. I am using STOCK OpenGapps if that matters.

EDIT - Switched to Nano and it worked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] perruquard:
Hi,

This rom is only in english ?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hpnhannghia:
We can also Install 7.0 BETA on Nexus 6 via OTA more safely if you are on stock : https://youtu.be/xlxNxDJfTmg
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Nice ROM.

Got it root and got tethering working unfortunately I broke the phone back to my carbon ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zelendel:
Just a heads up to those that that might wonder. Power Hal fails on touch boost.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aligh2014:
Maybe google decided to release android 7.1 instead of android 7 for our beloved nexus :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MysticKing32:
Just wanted to report that I enrolled in the beta program and got the 7.0 beta OTA. And it fixed my problem that's been plaguing my experience on marshmallow. Everytime you scrolled on YouTube while watching a video (to read comments for example) the video would freeze and stutter while you scrolled and would be just fine as soon as you stopped.

So when I finally got the beta that was the first thing I tested and boom! Fixed. The solution before on marshmallow was disabling hw overlay.

Anyways just wanted to report this bug fix as I made a thread a few months ago where a lot of others were having the same issue.

Thanks for the ROM btw
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alphaandomega:
More like they are trying to hold out until October at which point it will be a two-year-old device and they will no longer be obligated to upgrade it at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] snowrelyt:
Gapps aren't working. I get a Play Services FC whenever I try to add a new account, and this is after granting every permission and rebooting.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Knightvision:
The phone was still being sold in the Google store until 10 months ago, and some places probably STILL have new stock in the box.

My Nexus 6 arrived in my hand the day Google announced it was being dropped. Great timing.

It is disappointing to see how Google wants to quickly abandon the device that was their flagship for a long time, until the newer sexier 6P came out. Then they dumped it in a flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mituzora:
To be fair, the N6 wasn't very popular to begin with. First nexus with a premium price, too big, and at least for some users, rather problematic, especially at launch.

That being said it's a great phone, and I'm being incredibly patient with google on this one. it is a two-year old 32 bit phone(last one that they are officially supporting at the moment) so I expect some issues with them getting 7.0 to be stable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] serch826:
Google Official OTA NPD90G

Just to share my experience of this Official OTA NPD90G update, works awesome, with rpmod-2016-08-03-final-v2, Rooted, kernel: ElementalX-N6-4.07 and TWRP 3.0.2-0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jasonsymack:
OTA is out?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] serch826:
NPD90G
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Which is the preview build that everyone's had for a while now...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Which build number is the 7.0 beta OTA?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cam30era:
NPD90G
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Also I'm very very surprised that we still do not have an official build yet. I am fine with some delays but 10 days... Really? All supported iphones get their builds simultaneously. A significant delay in updates for older flagship nexus devices in even the staggered release methodology is obviously going to make users concerned on numerous fronts including fragmentation, coordination with hardware manufacturers etc. This is not a small negative. To be honest given the amount of time that they have had between m and n, I'm not even certain why we should be apologists for the fact that our release is not out yet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ztotherad:
but if you look at the 6p factory images, the 6p doesnt have nougat yet either, the only newer nexus that does is the 5x thus far so there's obviously something going on here with both phones. just my 2 cents
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Yes, actually that must be getting the 6p owners mad as heck as well. Their phone is just a year old. Given that most of us chose to move away from Samsung/other manufacturers only because of the expectation that we will be on the latest and greatest sooner, this is not a happy place to be. What the heck have they been doing?

If Google is having issues coordinating with even nexus hardware manufacturer partners, can we not have doubts about fragmentation. Maybe it's time Google became owned a manufacturing platform for the nexus (or whatever they call it now) line.

---------- Post added at 01:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

I believe 6p has nougat. http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/0...gs-full-android-7-0-nougat-nexus-ota-roundup/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chipis:
so only issue is gapss?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikaole:
Gapps issues is already sorted out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ztotherad:
6p doesnt have have nougat according to the factory images that I've refreshed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] canezila:
I flashed the op zip and now my twrp is locked and decrypted. I wasn't before. Anyone know the password?

PS... Using my wife's phone because my n6 is locked out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] h.baraary:
6P have ota image's (that is different from factory image). But they can enroll to beta channel and get the stable Android 7.0, or they can download OTA image's and flash. I updated my friends phones the exact same day that Nougat released.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FCORivers:
I can't get gapps installed at all. On twrp as soon as the ROM is installed it reboots the and literally takes 35 seconds to boot but no gapps. Is there more than one ROM and I got one that doesn't let gapps installed? Which gapps did you use?

I would like to give it a try. So far very fast but no gapps for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ztotherad:
then maybe baseband or they gave the finger to us n6 users.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Here's the deal. When you flash Gapps it causes twrp to crash and doesn't actually install them. So what you have to do is be ready to hold volume down and power button as soon it crashes. Then use the menu that appears to get back to recovery. Try to flash Gapps a 2nd time and it wont crash. For whatever reason, the first zip you flash after you flash the ROM causes twrp to crash. Once you use hard reset buttons to get back to recovery you can flash as many times as you want
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lawlrus:
That's not hard when they only have to optimize it to one hardware vendor
[Nexus 6 Android Development] istperson:
Don't feed the trolls.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Lawlrus:
That's the thing, it doesn't look like a troll post, I honestly think he doesn't get how easy it is for apple when they only have to worry about one device lol.

You'd be surprised how often people can't seem to make common sense of the fact. Then again, I've been wrong before, its possible it was a troll post haha
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Wasn't a troll post. I switched to being an android user in 2010. Have been rooting and tinkering for years and was a part of the iOS jailbreak world prior to that.

The reason I am starting to believe that Google should control the hardware at least for the nexus line is because I look at the iPhone 5 getting the last iOS update - that's 5 generations... The nexus phones seem to get left behind much sooner. If Google needs others to follow their lead, they have to have just 1 hardware manufacturer partner, and force them to keep devices updated for a much longer time. No one wants to feel abandoned. Choosing Motorola, then lg and huawei, then HTC hardly gives any control to Google.

Instead of losing ourselves in fandom, maybe as users, we should challenge the android manufacturers and Google to be competitive and offer better longer relevant products.

It should not be a standard response to call someone a troll when he criticizes from the inside.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] istperson:
Then I apologize, you're not a troll, just under-informed

Comparing Apple who is a hardware developer to Google, who is a software developer will never make sense. Yes, if Google made the phones himself, then it might have been better for the updates. But he doesn't and I doubt that anyone on a forum telling them to do it will change anything.

But more precise it was this that made me think you were a troll:

You should know that Apple is a hardware developer. Also you should know that users usually don't give a critters backside if a phone is updated or not. At least if they get the "security-patches" for exploits that wouldn't have concerned them anyway.

So crying about 10 days is a first-world problem, and bringing up a hardware developer as an argument can be mistaken for trolling.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
I'm well aware that iOS/iPhone is an integrated product. That is why they can keep an iPhone 5 updated for 4 years and counting and the nexus 6 will get sunset next year (2 years of is version updates).

I still hate the iOS UI and the high cost of an iPhone and a million pretentious things about iphones (want to strangulate johnny ive every time he waxes about the design) but there is something to be said about a platform that pushes major version upgrades for 2 extra years. We need to expect the same timeline from Google.

How Google does it is their problem. Whether they exercise extreme control and viciously twist the arms of the nexus manufacturers till they break or whether they become a manufacturer themselves is for them to figure out.

However, relying on weak manufacturing partners (HTC for example has seen it's finances get obliterated and I wouldn't be surprised to see them fold up some day) to propagate updates and just focusing on android will only lead to many dead ends - fragmentation and whatnot. Maybe this is why Google is rumored to be abandoning the nexus line.

Apparently, none of the Snapdragon 800/801 phones will get nougat. I have no idea how many android phones are on those chips but I would guess it's a massive percentage of the total user base. So... They will all sunset this year. That's a bit too small a lifespan. Did we buy phones or may flies?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] istperson:
Apple updates for older phones are nothing more than checkbox updates. They are optimized for the new phones, so they are slow on the old phones and so motivate users to buy a new one. Apple isn't stupid, he gets rich by selling phones.

The 800/801 phones don't have neither Vulcan nor OpenGLES 3.1 so they won't qualify officially. That doesn't mean they can't get fully functional homebrew versions.

As for mayflies, I don't know what you call the Samsung, LG and most of the Chinese phones.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Apple gets you to buy their products by making them shinier and creating a cult. OS updates are neither made to convince you to upgrade nor to satisfy you forever. They just push out updates long enough for it to be a nice thing to have. I'd prefer google forces nexus manufacturers to do the same.

I moved from Samsung to nexus expecting a closer to stock ui and longer support, os updates etc. If the sunset schedule is similar, meh... What's really the difference between a Samsung and a nexus?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] istperson:
They are slow and laggy on old devices. The opposite of fun to use it.

No sense in checkbox updates on devices that have neither the processor power nor the ram needed. It's a stupid race that is not worth winning.

I recommend you study them a little more and come back when you got it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mchlbenner:
The only issue I found is the volume starts then fades very low.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] slothdabski:
Has anyone found a fix for this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozg33k:
Maybe he was just complimenting our super cool super AMOLED screens ;)!!!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Not really. My mom uses an iPhone 5 - its updated to the latest iOS. Doesn't feel laggy. What you mention was true a few years ago on the iphone4. Not anymore.

OS version updates, even if diluted, bring new features so I disagree that major version updates are pointless. You are probably in a minority versus most users on this point.

I've had god only knows how many blackberries (from the pager days), iPhones (till I switched), HTC, Samsung devices (n2, n3, n4, n5, s7edge), a few windows phones etc, numerous tablets (og kindle, og galaxy tab, HP touchpad and they are all still functional). Tinkered with God only knows how many other devices. So as a user, yes I've experimented and experienced as much of everything to have an opinion. My experience on touchwiz for example isn't as negative as some here want to make it out to be.

For me longevity in device support (in every way) is a critical sign of how you treat your consumers.

If a company sunsets a product that fast, you should be penalized by consumers. We shouldn't accept being dropped because xyz won't work.

They could make an os that stifles some aspects on 800/801 devices but at least a majority of the new features in say nougat would make it to such devices.

Also please stop being condescending in your posts - most of us have been on XDA for years. If you wish to reason calmly, fine, otherwise move on. Calling anyone a troll is not acceptable.
