Oreo is a WIP as noted by the dev, there's going to be problems, if that's a deal breaker for using the ROM, users shouldn't flash it then and come back later in development. It's frustrating, but making post's about being angry doesn't help fix (phone) issues​

Step 1 - Clean Flash

Step 2 - Flash ROM

don't reboot

Step 3 - flash these Gapps only, no other version

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120757579

Step 4 - hold power button down to reboot after installation complete

Step 5 - profit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Chill Dog, it's just a ROM. It's a beta, things get broken....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I already tried those Gapps, downloading AGAIN because TWRP claimed it was corrupt even though I could open the zip just fine in Windows.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Try a completely clean flash of ROM, Gapps reboot and flash SU and Busybox, change Sel. to permissive. Then restore data from your Nandroid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] buschris:
That did the trick! su after boot and I went ahead a DL gapps and rom from a different mirror. [emoji109]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I got the UI crash too when I did a dirty flash over earlier version. Clean flash, set up and data restore seemed to fix things for me.

Although I still have intermittent cellular connection issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Finally got it working. Did exactly what [MENTION=5362508]Mega Montana[/MENTION] instructed and it booted without crashes. Now to restore everything..... Ugh. Don't have time to do it though. Have to get back to work. At least it's working!

Don't call me a chili dog. lol

I had to use my 90 day free trial of You Tube Red so I can PiP YT and get a set-up looking like this.

ROM is looking pretty good on my device, great update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Get a sense of humor.

[MENTION=5362508]Mega Montana[/MENTION], is there a Gapps package that includes Google Dialer and Contacts? I can't get the latter to update or install on my phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
There is no GApps that contains those apps.

Do you need the apk's?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I have them. They're not installing. I even tried old versions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Akhilesh S V:
Download them from apkmirror
[Nexus 6 Android Development] h.baraary:
I'm guess you know this, but if anybody else wants get PiP work on YT, you don't need YTRed, there's a trick for that: http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...-picture-mode-youtube-google-maps-duo-others/

If downloading from APKMirror doesn't work either, flash Google Dialer Framework in recovery from this Thread, after that uninstall AOSP Dialer and then install Latest Google Phone (v12 right now) and convert it system app if you want.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
That looks awesome...

Just thinking how can you use your phone with that wallpaper? ;) No kids, family members around?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
I wonder if someone will be kind enough to help

I want to keep 7.1.2 installed but I also want to install 8

and be able to Dualboot

What is the best way of doing it?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
For now none of these beta Oreo versions are working in multi boot

That's my "man cave" wall. Most of the time, that would be a picture of my 5 year old son playing soccer, etc LOL.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Admiral2145:
Iytbp in xda will fix that issue with youtube, you won't need youtube red.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I did. They wouldn't install.

I ended up wiping and starting over. They installed fine this time, but I'll keep that file just in case. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
I dirty flashed the latest build and everything worked except Facebook. I spent at least an hour reading these posts as to how to fix it but can't really understand what you are supposed to do. Some people said they went into a boot loop when trying to fix it and others solved it but don't provide an easy to understand solution, sending you to other forums to figure it out. If anyone has an easy solution and can provide a step by step solution that can be easily understood it would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't seem very difficult if someone would just take a minute and explain it step by step.

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] I found another issue in your latest Oreo build for shamu.my battery was fully drained ,so I plugged in charger and let it charge for some time.then I switched on the phone keeping the charger connected to phone,the phone starts with bootscreen and then always goes to bootloader screen.if I disconnect the charger,it boots fine
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Also check the permissions on the Google dialer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Another? Which is the first one? ☺️

Can anyone else confirm this?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] avinab:
ha ha.1st issue is NFC which is already known..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Nah, I'm not sure what kind of curse has possessed his device to do that...maybe someone else sneaks their hand in and holds the volume down button at the same time without knowing...

Edit: Using the wall charger or into a USB?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sky88:
Am facing weird problem phone turns off automatically when it's in ideal state and its turn on only if power and volume press together.

When im not using it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] eocobby721:
U may probably need a new phone cos I'm not sure it has anything to do with da rom. Forgive me if it sounded rude
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Do you know how to grab a logcat using adb? There's tutorials on XDA if not, be nice to have a logcat of that to see what's going on then, otherwise there's too many possibilities. Did you change or modify the kernel Settings?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sky88:
I didn't know how to get logcat using adb ill try

No i didn't make any change to kernel settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, first thing I do is set it as the main dialer, otherwise it crashes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ikonline:
Just installed Oreo. It works great. Thanks for all your work.

Classed the notification light patch and that works great.

For the first time magisk installed, I have to tryout what this can do for me.

I noticed when I use she DND mode I don't have the option till next alarm.

Is there a option to put this on like in nougat?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I will let you know... I'm not in position to test right now.

Really like your work, a lot! Great rom! Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Everything's working great! I clean flashed the ROM, then Gapps, and booted. Set it up as a new device, then flashed Magisk, the Magisk permissive SELinux script, BusyBox YDS, and ViperARISE, in that order, rebooting into Android after each file. No issues so far, other than the NFC.

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION], how can we help out with the NFC? Do you need logcats?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
I just dirty flashed using the 8.0 gapps and did magisk with the permissive patch and everything is working perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No, logs are not needed, i need the solution ;)

Google phone APK or from the Play Store won't install

in Android Oreo.

It says your device is not compatible with this version

I tried different versions (apks) with the same problem

Anyone having this problem
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mnsiw:
I'm using 12.0.167 from APKMirror, but didn't installed it, instead replaced it with old dialer using root explorer and set permission.

I also replaced massaging and camera with latest Google apps. Replaced Launcher 3 with Pixel feature Launcher 3.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
I installed this APK using Lucky Patcher to system

When I start the phone a message pops up saying that

it may not function properly because it is not

compatible with you system

Now the phone seems to be working fine but how do you

stop this message popping up.

By the way do you have a link to the Pixel feature

Launcher 3 please

How do you install APK using Root Explorer

do you just copy the APK to system

does is matter if to system/app or priv-app
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ikonline:
I Rollback tot 7.1.2 for now. The reason is I have a view apps that doesn't work well with Oreo. Like call recorder bij Skvalex. It only record the microphone and not the other side of the confersation.

I hope this will be fixed in the near futher so I can try it again. Oreo by Nitrogen works great, that for sure, but I wait for better apps that maybe have issues with 8.0.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mnsiw:
https://github.com/amirzaidi/Launcher3/releases

I use ES File Explorer (by default root access is off, turn it on in settings) + Magisk.

Dialer app is in priv-app, I copied downloaded apk to same folder, renamed old Dialer.apk to Dialer.bak, renamed copied apk to Dialer.apk and set permission as rw- r-- r--

Did same with Messaging, Camera and Launcher, then rebooted.

I think Dialer and Launcher are in priv-app and Messaging and Camera are in app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] camcory:
This appears to be working but the switch is odd at times.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
Just did the same, now when I start the phone a pop up

says: This device isn't supported and phone calls may not

work correctly.

Thing is the phone is working correctly

how do I stop this pop up every time I start

the phone app
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
None of the LED notification fixes is working for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Set app to default and then go to apps and

Check your app permissions
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
I have done all that correctly
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mnsiw:
I'm using this apk:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-10-1-161735957-release/

Had similar issue on an other Oreo ROM but working fine on latest Nitrogen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Akhilesh S V:
Have you tried Magisk module N6 LED enabler
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
Yes
[Nexus 6 Android Development] h.baraary:
You need to flash Google Dialer framework as i mentioned in this post: https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/devel...n-substratum-11-10-2016-t3478365/post73886899

This is the old version of GPhone, Current version is 12.0.167196395
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mnsiw:
Right, just checked, its 12.0.167196395, but I just replaced installed dialer with this one without flashing framework and its working fine :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] h.baraary:
Yeah, ver. 10 works fine, but for ver. 12 it seems we need this framework.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
Yes yes yes, the Google Dialer Framework was needed

I can now install any Gphone APK

Thank you very much Guys, I can rely on you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
I tried both dirty flashing 8.0 and fresh install. I found zero difference between the two. They both worked fine, except for the led light not working for notifications either way for me, after trying all the possible fixes. I finally gave up and went back to 7.1.2 which is of course perfect.

Moral to the story is to try dirty flashing first and save yourself having to set everything back up. I saw zero difference between dirty flash and fresh install.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
None of the work arounds work for me niether.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
Back on 7.1.2, I installed Gcontacts trying to have all

the Google Apps.

Now the problem is I can't uninstall the Android Contacts

I thought I uninstalled it using Debloat_magisk but I couldn't delete the empty contacts folder in priv-app.

After a reboot the App came back again

I couldn't see the App in other tools so that I can delete it

May be that you just can't uninstall the Android Contacts

App. But why?

I wonder if anybody has come across this
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
You need to install Light Flow and enable Direct Mode. No other mod is needed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I must be having a bad day lol ... I sure can't seem to get it to work other then a ambient notification on the screen ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Maybe you need to enable Root Mode as well.

Under "Tools," there's an option to test the colors you've set up.

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION], has anyone reported video issues such as irregular volume levels? Or graphical distortion?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Here's a logcat from YouTube playing a video, with audio volume fluctuating and screen splitting into four parts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No one has reported such issue

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
I have been using YouTube videos since 8.0 was released for the ROM and can't say I have either had or read someone else had that issue with this ROM. Is that a logcat or screen recording?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Logcat. I can try recording the screen as well if that helps.

It's probably related to my hardware issue being screwed over by non-stock kernels.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
No need for me, wasn't sure by previewing it so just checking.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Tried, drained battery, plugged to charger and reebooted fine. Can't confirm this issue.

Tested Nano Gapps as per request from [MENTION=1767332]megamon[/MENTION]tana

Here is the method I use for installation.

Wipe everything except internal storage.

Install Nitrogen OS Oreo 09_20 reboot.

Install nano gapps reboot.

Install magisk reboot into TWRP and do a soft wipe.

Proceed through Setup screen and log into WiFi and Google credentials.

Work's smooth as silk.

No issues to report.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
Good to hear, thanks for testing with this ROM. Looks like a better version for others to use then moving forward for now too. Credit to Neobuddy for building those and sharing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ikonline:
Today next try of oreo. Full clear setup. Used the gapps from the latest post and they working fine.

Does anyone has a good working call recorder app under Oreo. What I tried doesn't record the other side of the call. I used always call recorder byj Skvalex but now the records are not very useful.

It looks like the mic record the speaker.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Darkwing_Duck:
Currently running a version of Oreo I thought I downloaded from this thread. Re-read the main page multiple times and searched most of the 527 pages, I can't find any links?

Didn't see a Nitrogen OS O thread in Nexus 6 Android Development, so cant imagine where I found my current file. Nitrogen -OS-O-shamu-20170916.zip

Ever since I upgraded to the 8/17 build I have the "long press power button to interact" issue when trying to wake the phone. When I flashed it I just did upgraded from another nitrogen build. So all I did was wipe cache and davlik and installed. Anyone know how to fix this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, switch off the pocket mode (if it is already switched off, switch it on and then switch it off)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pabdaddy1995:
I can't find pocket mode ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrk2815:
your not lost. the only way i found it by googling for nitrogen os oreo nexus 6 shamu and android file host and that is how i found it. for my friend who has the nexus 6. found one off of e bay for a good price the 64GB since my pixel hit the dust and back to an older nexus device till i can get my hands on the nexus 6. as that is all i can afford at the moment.

This was a kernel issue for me and some commits fixed it right up. I havent seen Nitrogen kernel source so I cant be certain. But these are the ones I used.

Ending on 9/19/17 TTY: msm_smd_tty: Fix clean up tty devices in fail case
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Unless you use Bluetooth while you are asleep to activate Bluetooth overnight would be silly, especially when we know that Bluetooth can cause issues... in light of this information you could simply toggle Bluetooth off.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mariusvlad2:
I have a good reason to keep my active bluetooth permanently. This and the problems with Callrecorder by Skywallex have made me return to Nitrogen 7.1.2.

Does AptX BT codec in developer options work on the latest Oreo? Last time I flashed 8.0, I could set AptX, but it would revert to SBC as soon as I went back to developer options.

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------

so if you do a dirty flash from nitrogen 7.1.2 to nitrogen o do you still have to use gapps in the dirty flash process or not. thats what i need to know as i am tring to figue the easiest way to go from nugget 7.1.2 to oreo 8. 8 the easist and painles wway.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Akhilesh S V:
First of all it's not recommended to dirty flash Oreo on top of 7.1.2

If you still want to do it then you don't need to flash Gapps

Very bat battery life. How can i get the system into deep sleep? I use bt fir carkit and watch so turning it iff is not an option. I see a post with the deep sleep on but no idea how to make that work. I jyst replaced my ohone battery so that may not be the issue ( I hope?)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jlmassey:
THanks a bunch.. GOnna check this one out finally. !!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
How would you get one? We don't know what triggers it and there's no way to get a logcat unless we ran it all day until the reboot, and even then, it's not guaranteed the logs will be saved.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garywojdan81:
True, but it may be worth it. I haven't been following this Oreo build, but I have some others on telegram and one of the biggest sources of reboots were the commits to address the Bluetooth sleep fix. Those got reverted and reboots decreased.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KobySam87:
Hi... I think I'm experiencing issues with my network. It has become very slow right after coming to Oreo. On shamu nougat, I could download at a speed of 12mb/s.. I really do not know if my device was exaggerating buh on Oreo I barely see 1mb/s. Is someone else experiencing similar issue or I'm just doing something wrong.

Attached is a picture of when I was updating Facebook on shamu nougat.

I will be very grateful if I can be given a lasting solution to this issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] udis:
That's like a speed of 100mbps that's pretty high for cellular on these N6's on WiFi I can do that but cellular is mostly maxed out around 40-50mbps. I'm having similar issues as you with speed now latency as well I'm still on the 7.1.2 version. Gonna try a different radio and bootloader I think I'm still pretty far behind the newest.

I am trying to figure out what the Equaliser App is for

this is on Rom 7.1.2, what is it being used by?

There is also The Equaliser service that is running

what Apps are using it.

Is safe to uninstall both the App and the Service

Thanks in advance for your help guys
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
It's for audio players. You can select presets for rock, R&B, dance, techno, jazz, etc., to make the music sound richer and add bass and clarity.

It's safe to freeze or delete, though you're missing out on the sound. Though if you REALLY want great sound, flash ViPER ARiSE.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
Thank you very much for your help

How do I make Equaliser and Viper work with players

like VLC player and MX player

Out of the box they will only work with Google Play Music

App
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Yeah, unfortunately I do not know. ViPER should be your replacement for the Equalizer, though, and once toggled on, it should work with any audio player. I'm sure it works with video players, too.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Admiral2145:
