With this week's build, I'll update the OP :good:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I can't wait to try your new build. Thank you for your efforts.

Question:Will your new build change or use the same radio and bootloader that were recently updated for the Nexus 6 in Google's September and October 7.1.1 updates?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
They're still updating it? I thought they ended support, or was that just for new Android versions? I know they're doing security patches, but radios?

I think those aren't included in ROMs. I think you'd have to download them separately. Either from the stock image, or from one of the bootloader/radio threads on here. I'll check into it.

EDIT: Yep, the radio was updated in the October patch, but not the bootloader. Don't know if September had a bootloader update or not.

Looks like they were added here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Yes, new Bootloader in September and new Radio for Verizon phones in October. But my question for the OP was if the new build uses the new Bootloader and Radio, or somehow changes one or both of them?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] franciscrick:
Thanks for the help...one last question, I'm currently running Nitrogen 7.1.2, should I clean flash Nitrogen 8.0 n flash the more recent GApps? Or Can I dirty flash 8.0 over 7.1.2 and the apps will update via playstore?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
It is HIGHLY recommended you do a clean flash. Gapps will update regardless of what Gapps you flash or how you clean or dirty flash them. Use the one Mega Montana posted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Webdroid:
Hello together.

Is Nitrogen-OS-O-shamu-20170920 for daily use or something is still not working properly?

Can we expect a new update soon?

Greets Webdroid
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jayadev01:
It's definitely an awesome Rom. Has a very few bugs that may no matter for daily use at all. You should note that it's stillin beta and it's doing great. Wait a bit more, Nitin planned an update this weekend. So it should be released within few hours or in a day. Anywaz, you should flash it for yourself and test it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Hey everyone, been loving the Nitro room for about a year. I'm currently on 8/17 of 7.1.2. I flashed ElementalX kernel to try it out. I did make a backup. But would if there is a specific part of the backup I can flash to restore the stock nitro kernel or should I just do a full restore? If I recall there is but I cannot remember. Thank you in advance and thank you Nitin for all your support and supporting our Shamu!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Also tested nano gapps from http://opengapps.org

On Nitrogen OS Oreo 09_20... Works perfect.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lionelhuts:
Just dirty flash the same Nirtogen ROM version again. That will replace ElementalX with the kernel included with Nitrogen. No need for a full restore.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
As lionel said, just reflash the ROM, no need to wipe or restore.

Has anyone noticed their WiFi gets turned off every once in a while?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KobySam87:
Haven't experienced that...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I have not, My DD is always on LTE, I also have DD while at home on Wifi at all times and I have one to test with also always on wifi.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Admiral2145:
For those on 7.1.2 xposed just released... Dedication and hard work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
And just a couple weeks after I switched to Oreo. Great timing, lol. At least he said 8.0 support is being worked on and it should happen a lot faster than 7.1.2. Same with 8.1.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
So here is the new build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617937170

Changelog:

- October security patch

Bugs:

- NFC still doesn't work

- Notification LED doesn't work

Next weekend I'll try to build with different device, kernel trees and see if NFC and notification LED can be fixed. Till that time enjoy this build!

Enjoy!

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lionelhuts:
Is it possible to adjust the color temperature of the screen using the included UnicornBlood kernel with 8.0?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
FYI

As a test I dirty flashed 10_08 over 09_20 with open_gapps-arm-8.0-nano-20170926-UNOFFICIAL.

Don't dirty flash just yet ?

On the good side 10_08 clean installs perfect with open_gapps-arm-8.0-nano-20171005.

Thank you [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION].

Awesome Job ?

There are no apn,s listed for me. I am on U S Cellular. I have no mobile data at all. Wifi works. Also maybe in the future the multirom patch can be added to kernel?

I'm on verizon; there were no APN's listed for me either.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
Is your mobile data working?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
If he has no APNs, how would it be working? :eek:

Missing APNs, dirty flash causing errors.... Sounds like this build may be more buggy than the last. I think I'll skip this one. :silly:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
Mine was a clean flash. I'll try the next one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
These are WIP builds and always should be clean flashed, it's pointless to report any issue's unless you do.

T-Mobiles APNs are working fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I'm still a little concerned about the disappearing APNs on clean flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Been on O since 09_16 with 3 devices.

I'm on Verizon APN's are fine, stability is great.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
If I were you, I would not form my opinion based on the flash that others did and label a build "more buggy'

[Nexus 6 Android Development] eocobby721:
I think this comment is disrespectful to the Dev and it ends up affecting the rest of use users. Not even a logcat
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SageWilliams:
Anyone else has FB crashes? Faecbook, Page Manager and Messenger keeps FCing for me. Not sure if its just me. On the latest 8.0 build. Clean flashed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
I said it sounds "more buggy." Even those who clean flashed are having new issues.

How is it affecting you or other users? I'm not forcing them not to flash it. And why would I have a logcat anyway? I didn't flash it.

You have to set SELinux to permissive. Here's one way to do it, using Magisk.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] franciscrick:
Just flashed Nitrogen 8.0 on my test Nexus 6 ( Nitrogen 7.1.2 on my daily driver.. for now) I think I like the new changes ...I'll know more in a few days, I haven't checked if my led works ( takes too long to set up) but that is critical for me, also critical is root access but I guess I can do that myself, and as far as NFC goes .....who even uses that? Love the ROM in general just hope it gets better, always better.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
yeah, yeah, I know you have all the explanations with the words "sounds", "may be"....

I think now it's time to think whether to take out time for building updates (which may sound "more buggy") or spend that time in some time on my mako... :laugh:

With Netflix you need to go to APK mirror and download a 4.5 or 4.5.1

And turn off auto update in Play Store

Awesome and fast responses. One last thing. I could not see others report this but if I hold the home button. It just brings up the google feed but not the google assistant. Is that normal for now in O or is there a setting I need to enable?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] eocobby721:
I guess he will now understand what I meant by his comment affecting us all. I will perfectly understand if u decide to spend more time on your mako instead of shamu. :D:laugh::cool:

Great post...

It literally made me laugh out loud..

"Sent from the Dog Pound"
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Riiiiiiight....

When you first flashed the ROM, it asks if you want to enable Google Assistant. Did you accidentally tap "Skip" or "Not now"? If so, you should get a prompt to do so when you hold the Home button. If that's still not working, make sure you have the latest Google app, then go into its settings and clear its data. Exit, and hold the Home button once more and see if you get that prompt. Hope that helps.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jeffrimerman:
This is probably also a silly question but where is Nitrogen os 8.0? I don't see it for the Nexus 6 but someone mentioned it. Maybe it's experimental and not officially out

[Nexus 6 Android Development] SageWilliams:
Actually found the issue. Needed to assign Google assist as default assist app in settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
Weird.... do you have another assist app installed? It should have been the default one already.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
The default can be set as "None", requiring someone to have to manually assign "Google" as the default selection. I think some other ROMs/3rd party mods may have other options too, but can say for sure and definitely not sure for an 8.0 ROM.

I can only guess as to the list of reasons why Google doesn't get set as default, but a few are: Not activating it on first boot, Gapps package installer, disabling required features, etc. Anyway.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Guys, is there any ROM where NFC works for shamu? I'm planning to make a build this weekend and can try some other device/ kernel trees.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Akhilesh S V:
I'm currently on SiX and NFC isn't working. It was causing Battery drain so Dev removed it off completely
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Yeah, we have the same issue so I thought if there is any rom out there which has NFC fix we can refer it and have NFC working in NOS.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Try to review the AICP tree. It seems they are close to the solution. Anyway, they claim NFC is working. I didn't try, but I'll do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bdadd34:
I was able to receive a pic through Android beam from my wife's phone on aicp Oreo..Im running a different oreo kernel because I couldn't get rom to boot past Google screen but I don't think that effects nfc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Magic_Man36:
The Validus firmware runs NFC. I checked
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] I can confirm AICP works without much battery issue. I haven't personally ran the Validus ROM to see if there's any battery issue even though it may be working. You're most likely aware but Validus is linked under Ground Zero ROMs on G+ with a Linux link here

https://plus.google.com/communities/113790479931916889013
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I tried with AICP trees but couldn't get the build to complete due to many build errors (most probably because AICP is Lineage based).

I also tried with Validus trees, but the ROM size was smaller by ~100 MBs, need to look into this.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hameedf:
Yes there is cr droid rom that nfc works fine
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
That is going to be lineage as well I believe, not sure what other difference between it and Aicp exist though to see if it will build

Wait, what kernel? I wasn't aware that there were any Oreo kernels for N6.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bdadd34:
The crDroid thread has some test kernels for fixes. One of these, I believe the 2.2 upstream is what I use. The newest 4.1 hangs at boot for me.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I believe that S.I.X. Rom v. 1.9 has working NFC. It only dropped today.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
You have to use CAF code for the NFC fixes on Shamu now. It's in camcory and moepdas gits it's vendor and kernel related I believe.

Neobuddy89 is the crdroid developer who fixed it. It's on his git too.

https://github.com/moepda/android_device_moto_shamu/commits/o8x

https://github.com/camcory/device_moto_shamu/commits/O

Those should help....

Can't find Neobuddys git but shouldn't be hard to find.

hi just question

do you plan to keep the development for oreo for a while?

the reason i am asking is some developers start their project

but dropped it now

is it more difficult to develop for nexus 6 now to the point of dropping?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
You have to keep in mind that no 2 devices our the same, each device will react differently after installation of any custom rom.

Best to wipe and try try again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] isn't one to give up easily though. He's been working hard to fix NFC and showing no signs of slowing down.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bdadd34:
He just did an Oreo sigma kernel...running great for me..I learned that I wasn't waiting long enough at boot loader screen..the newer kernels are taking several minutes to leave the initial Google screen.

The Sigma Kernel thread is closed because neobuddy89 is moving on to a new device but he released the new kernel first.

Sad news. But at least he's still developing, even if it's not for N6.

I found the kernel, gonna try it out. Thanks for the heads up!

Are you getting notifications during calls? Is it going off every minute? There could be a variety of reasons. I did have this issue before on Nougat, and I ended up clean flashing a couple weeks later, and that seemed to fix it.

The WPA2 crack was fun to wake up to:

https://arstechnica.com/information...l-leaves-wi-fi-traffic-open-to-eavesdropping/

Just our luck, too:

October 2017 was the last guaranteed security patch from Google for the N6, and this issue fix will be released in the November 2017 patch. The issue was disclosed in May 2017. Total bull that the fix wasn't part of one of the last few months' security releases.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
That's also a router issue. This topic belongs in the General threads BTW.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Setialpha:
Also: Google will release a new security patchset, which will be adopted by all active custom ROMs for our device, so you're only screwed on Stock.

Ah, you're all lucky. I really need to upgrade too. My Nexus 6 has been getting bad screen tears off and on (though on this new kernel I haven't had any). I'm sure we'll still be getting support for it but a lot of the devs are moving on. Not that I think Nitin will, though. I'm sure he'll be here for us still.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrk2815:
we will still have lineage to fall back on if nitin moves on to his new device the pixel 2. XL . The price i am torn on that device. there is nothing new as far as innovation. if there is something then i will dump teh cash on that new device. til then i thin i will let my nexus 6 go on for a few more years.

The lack of wireless charging on the new Nexus phones is what does me in for them. I won't own a phone without wireless charging. I just got the Note 8. I don't like the locked bootloader but I love the pen, as it is very handy at work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mega Montana:
I believe Nitin never owned a Nexus 6, he's been nice enough to build us N6 owner's this ROM despite not even using this device. He may or may not continue to make builds, but If he doesn't it won't be because of not having a N6. He's been rocking a Mako before his, soon to be, Pixel2 .
