I had installed it perfectly and i was reporting every issue timely. If third party app can manipulate the behavior of the OS otherwise it worked well for me only a day but unfortunately it started weird things. No offence to the dev. but I was expecting it a much stable custom rom. I was sharing my experience with all may its only me facing this issue.

BTW you don't have any solution. Please be nice you don't seem to be a professional.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] uzairahmad1986:

Notification LED

So I downloaded "enable_notifications_led_android_N.zip" .. and that got my charging LED working, but I still don't get any kind of LED light when I get a text message / email / etc.

It *looks* like I have them turned on, and when I'm in the settings page it for messages etc. it comes on, but it's not actually working in practice.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks !

So far the ROM has been fine for me (coming from PN 7.1.2). I am using it stock, unrooted and the only changes being to use the Pixel Launcher, Camera NX1 (so I can have photosphere mode) and an older Google phone (13/0?) that supports searching places as well as contacts. That feature does not appear to be available in later releases of Google phone that are not Nexus or Pixel devices.

Every now and then it seems a bit sluggish but then resolves itself. About the only other problem I have seen is, is randonly (and infrequently) the main screen will have large chequerboards of other apps overlaid on it. The only way to remove those is to press the power button off and on again. Have no idea why that is happening.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I see you sent me the same in PM too. Thanks!

Just one question - did you read the OP? The text in bold and red?

Exactly my thoughts :)

In fact, he had told you a solution

Search Google and you'll find your answer. It's your screen and not the ROM

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] Do you have any guesses as to why this is happening? (More detailed description in my quoted post and in my Q&A thread linked)

I am beginning to think I am missing something obvious like "known issue: video recording broken" was posted somewhere and I have totally never seen it.

I don't know where else to go for help. ElementalX's kernel was my fix for this issue in NitrogenOS 7.1 but EX current version (5.10) isn't working with NitrogenOS (bootloops).

Logcats are attached to that quoted post.

The Q&A Thread from the 7.1 NitrogenOS build is:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
Sorry for being somewhat slow here, but I tried a number of Google search terms but nothing relevant came up. And if it's a screen issue, I wonder why it never occurred either when I was running stock or when I had Pure Nexus. Still it appears very occasionally and the fix is easy to I am not going to worry about it.

All other apps I have tried are working and that is what counts for me.

I am now in a dilemma whether I should make this now my daily phone over my current Moto Z. The Z is faster but is stuck on 7.1.1 (Motorola don't seem to be interested in providing a Nougat ROM) and has terrible battery life (a known issue) and of course has Moto Mods and I have a bunch of those.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Ex5.09 works on the ROM. Check if that helps to solve the problem.

I remember seeing a video showing the same issue that you mentioned; but I'm not able to find it now. I found this video instead.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xNotta:
EX doesn't make previous kernel versions available and I wasn't lucky enough to keep the 5.09 zip.

However, I did try PureZ kernel and it fixed the recording issue.

It is a problem with the rom's stock kernel (and 7.1's stock kernel, and Franco kernel in 7.1)

What would be causing this? I can try to help you fix it if you want to.

- - - PureZ Forced Encryption - - -

Edit: I was asked to include some details from my experience flashing PureZ kernel. This is going to be short but I might come back and improve it later.

Here is what I did: (typed from my phone, might be rough)

Clean flashed Nitrogen, booted, tested video recording to find a issue. A different kernel fixed it before on 7.1, so I tried PureZ 5.1 for Oreo.

PureZ says it has Forced Encryption DISABLED.

After flashing the new kernel, I booted into the rom and tested the video recording bug to find it was fixed by the kernel.

An app started showing toasts saying it couldn't obtain root. I checked Magisk to find it uninstalled. PureZ must have removed Magisk from my boot.

I rebooted normally and when the phone started back up, I was as the "Android is encrypting your device" with an ETA of about 5.5 minutes.

I had to let it run because interruption encryption was going to damage the data.

It finished and my phone rebooted into. The rom as normal.

I didn't want Forced Encryption on, so I went into TWRP to wipe my /data and undo the encryption. TWRP asked from the password to decrypt the /data that was just force encrypted. I tried the password "default_password" but it was incorrect. So now I'm locked out of my /data and /sdcard/ thanks to PureZ forcing my drive to encrypt.

The force encryption bricked my /data partition with an unknown password.

I lost all my apps and everything from my SD Card.

As a test, I reflashed my rom, gapps, opt-force-encrypt, magisk and rebooted into the rom working OK. Then I flashed PureZ and my phone booted directly into the Forced encryption screen and then encrypted my /data AGAIN. the default password did not work the decrypt it in TWRP. Another bricked /data thanks to PureZ.

Then had to spend 2 or so more hours re-download files

to flash since force encryption forced me to format my /data again, including my /sdcard

Then transferring the files over via MTP, and then installing the zips.

After getting rom, gapps, opt-force-encrypt, and Magisk installed I spent another 4 hours letting Google restore my apps to then titanium backup to restore the apps that are no longer available on the play store.

Got Oreo Nitrogen OS running, decided to revert back to 7.1.2 with LineageOS 14.1 for reliability and compatibility.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I have no idea about the reasons why it might be happening. I can try and build with PureZ kernel in next update.

2. How can I turn off listening "Say ok google" Its work only on mine screen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darbizman:
I've been using the rom and for me it's working fine. Video recording and playback is working ok.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I see this post of yours in Pure Z kernel thread. So were you able to flash and boot fine with the kernel or not? :confused:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lchiu7:
Yes that's pretty much what happens. So it appears not to be a ROM issue but strange I never saw it until I installed Nitrogen. Still it happens so rarely it doesn't bother me. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Yes I was able to download Pure Z Kernel and install no problem...BUT this kernel has forced encryption.

So beware.. this will brick your phone, it will ask you for the password to access the SD Card and no one knows what the password is.

I know there are alot of users that are happy to willy nilly flash this and flash that espessially when it comes to kernels.

So unless you are preparred for a world of hurt... " Don't try to fix what is not broken"

Hope this helps ☺
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xNotta:
PureZ flashed fine and fixed my video recording issue but the kernel Forced Encryption; resulting in the loss of my /data, including my SDCard (/data/media)

PureZ forces Encryption.

The OP of PureZ says it does not force encryption, but it does. Honestly, I wouldn't build Nitrogen OS with PureZ, it seems the developer is kind of flaky.

I am positive [MENTION=7581611]ZawZaw[/MENTION] had good intentions and it was an accident but if they are going to overlook something major like forced encryption that will brick user's /data partition, I am going to be very cautious in believing anything else he says or develops. What makes it even worse it that they dev is aware of the problem now and hasn't fixed it and hasn't pulled the bad build.

ZawZaw lost my trust.

It's pretty easy to flash the dm-verity and opt force encrypt after the kernel, but I trusted ZawZaw's OP and got locked out of my /data.

Luckily, I came over from a factory restore, so my internals were already wiped and I didn't losing much more than time.

I am back on Nougat and won't be trying Oreo again for a while unless you really need me to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
The default password for that kernel or any ROM with forced encryption is whatever your last or current password or pattern is.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Ummmmm yea that is a 100 % no it is not....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
It has worked for me on numerous ROMs and that kernel.an older build though.. Maybe different now. I've never lost anything
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I didn't loose anything never have never will, what I'm saying is unless you know what the default password is you cannot get to your SD card... Because it's Encrypted...

This has been a issue since 8.0 came out, I don't know why or if it's only on 32bit phones but encryption is a problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You should have mentioned about encryption in your post. Can you update your post (the one that I quoted earlier) with the hassle you faced?

I bought a galaxy s, so my days with my Shamu are numbered.

But good side of that is, I can use my Nexus 6 as an experiment device since it won't be my daily driver and maybe I can even step into developing some stuff for the xda community.

You may start with a flash of pico-gapps. Opengapps removes obsolete apps. What you miss after Pico flash, can be reinstalled from the play store.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Yes but it will use user storage (data partition) instead of system partition, some apps wont be available or wont work properly when not installed on system partition and/or will be redondant with aosp ones (pixel launcher, google phone...) that's why I prefer stock open gapps when it's working well with the rom ( with LOS 14.1 for exemple)

How to update

I have same old ROM 8.1 downloaded a month ago how to update to the last version without losing my data ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] harlekein:
How old? Most of the time you should be fine with dirty flash.

Make backups of essentials.

Just reboot to recovery, flash the new ROM, gapps and magisk 16. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.

If that works you're good to go. If it not, you will have to do a full wipe and flash. Then restore data.

Personally I never restore system apps or data anymore after a clean flash as it gave me trouble too often. But restoring user apps and data is usually fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RacerX10:
I have two issues:

1 ) notification light doesn't work when "do not disturb" is active. It did on my last ROM.

2 ) Display corruption. Now and then (seems to happen more often when video is playing) the display gets divided up into a checkerboard pattern with things not where they are supposed to be.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Volidon:
I've seen this from time to time and i'll test it with DnD on and off. What was your last ROM?

I know this has been mentioned before. But having issues with sound in video recording being delayed and photos jaggy when taking photos. I read several posts and it sounds like it could be kernel related. Anyone have any suggestions? Been using Google camera for years.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I wish I had a better answer, its not Rom, gapps, kernel or Google Camera related, I too have used GV for years.

It's feel it's device related, between my wife and myself we have 4 shamu's all have the latest Nitrogen OS, with updated open gapps Nano and stock kernel, all have the exact install method and are rock solid DD's... Only one has issues with GC similar to what you describe, the other 3 GC works fine.

Hope this helps ?

Ok. I installed the current build of 3/8 last weel fresh. I'll run it again fresh this weekend. Thanks rfactor117
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
No point to to clean Install, rather you can just do a swipe to wipe in TWRP if you want a fresh start.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick491:
Just wiped everything with twrp and flashed Nitrogen ROM from March 8th, Magisk 16.1, and openapps Aroma.

I had a couple of problems the first few times after the flash but then just wiped and tried again. Those issues are long gone. This time I didn't install YouTube with Aroma and installed Vanced with Magisk and it is working flawlessly.

So far everything seems to be working well. The only problem is that Flud and Telegram are acting as if there is no connection to the internet. I've rebooted a few times yet the issue persists. I'm using DNS66 but have set those apks to bypass and have even tried turning off DNS66 but that didn't help. Not sure what the problem is there but otherwise everything is working great.

Edit: I'm also testing out some of the kernel options included with this ROM. They are really cool! Much better than EX that I've used before. Please keep up the great work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Uninstall those apps as reinstall. I read similar thing mentioned few pages back.

Edit: ok, uninstalled then installed Telegram and that won't connect either (stuck at loading). I guess I'm in a bit of a conundrum.

Sounds good. I'll do that. Thank you again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
Starting with #2....most likely the device is starting to fail. No one else has really reported this issue. I would try a totally clean flash to see if that helps

#1 is resolved by going into the apps notification settings by holding it down and going into the apps system options. You have to turn on that specific app notification while in do not disturb mode
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Volidon:
for #1, i've tested it and even with that enabled it doesn't trigger the led sometimes so there has to be something else either related to the rom or something else. was why I asked him what other rom he was using.

I am using naptime which might be causing this indirectly but still testing this theory
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Dirty flash is fine, You just need to download the latest Nitrogen OS and install it via TWRP.

There is no reason to reinstall gapps or reinstall Magisk, unless you are upgrading open gapps or Magisk is not present.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Guys, I'm thinking of shifting to device, kernel and vendor trees by [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] as he keeps is kernel updated and in sync with Ex kernel.

Can't be a failing device, it just cropped up when I starting using this ROM 2 days ago. I saw another post in this thread about somebody else having the same issue, but now I can't find it <uhg>.

Might try a re flash .. thanks !

#1 doesn't fix it. It's something going on with this ROM .. feels like a "default behavior" issue .. my last ROM flashed the notifications light when it was in Do Not Disturb.
