What's your setup? What all things did you flash?

Write step by step please.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Formated all, including user data

Flashed rom

Flashed gapps

Flashed Magisk stable

Rebooted

Configured

Rebooted

I have no more than 2 random reboots by week so it's usable.

Once time I've got the message "Bluetooth keeps crashing".

Other than that, everything is beautiful and working well.

Thanks for the good work.

I must agree
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atharwaqas:
I have seen a couple of Nougat roms out there which have App Ops built inside their Nougat custom ROM (recently the Nitrogen OS N has it). My question is is there any way to get it for Stock ROM as well? I really like this app and would love to use it on my stock ROM. If somebody has an APK for it for Nougat and can provide the link that would be great.

Bug

Very great rom...I'm using now :) I found a little bug: video not working in facebook app. Any fix???

Thanks guys :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
flash this

[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
Are videos working in other apps for you like YouTube? MxPlayer?

My personal experience with video errors is its usually the kernel so maybe try another kernel and see if that fixes it. Or you could try to wipe app data then uninstall Facebook then reinstall.

Just suggestions that have fixed it in the past for me. As I'm not currently on this Rom let us know if anything I suggested fixes it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
how I missed this in magisk manager is beyond me....thanks for the help works like a charm.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] USMC retired:
Banks Gapps

It came right up when I googled it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
Before I flash this is anyone else having problems playing videos? I saw and commented to someone earlier that did. I just want to know because I do watch a lot of movies, YouTube, twitter videos and Facebook videos.

So is anyone having trouble playing them post and let me know PLEASE!

THANKS! Lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] salilpune1:
Rebooting mobile would do trick for me. This happens on Marshmallow as well.

can you please try..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cracjackson:
I get stuck at the setup screen says Google services has stopped and it won't let finish setup is there a recommended gapps?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AM3:
Yes! Working good now :) many thanks...:D

Rom is very great and stable...in my opinion missing some options to be perfect! :) for example...the shortcuts (for app) at the lockscreen, some options in recent section, the 3 way for GPS, and other features for navbar. Repeat...my opinion, just to report my experience :)

Many thanks dev :)

PS. Next update by OTA or separate zip to flash? Thanks again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] RokuP:
I knew what you meant, but I didn't have the stock launcher. I usually remove anything that I replace with another app.

I clean flashed your 10/31 with no modifications and the recommended Pico OpenGapps and tried the stock launcher. There were no FC's while multi-window is active.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Same problem with OK Google hotword no matter what I do. The best I can do is to get it to respond from the home screen and within the app but not from anywhere else

None of these actions have any effect of mitigating the system UI crash when accessing the app drawer while two apps are actively open in Multi Window mode when using anything but the stock launcher.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Thunderbolt69:
You can use open gapps stock... They include the pixel launcher, pixel icons, the wallpaper app and the new messenger app. Believe it also has the pixel dialer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] avinab:
Please add screenshot quick tile.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
... yes, it has also Pixel Dialer and it's better looking than any other dialer :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RokuP:
Yes, I use that normally. I don't think you understand the problem I'm having. Yes I can use all that with no problem and I do, but try to open two apps in Multi Window mode then press home then open the app drawer. Boom, instant system UI force close loop.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You can add that in nav bar using smart bar...

Thanks for sharing your work. I appreciate it. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere in the thread, but weather in the lockscreen doesn't stick. You set it, it shows once.. Then not again. Anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jlokos:
I have been having this issue on all 7.0 and 7.1 roms. If I toggle the weather setting, it usually comes back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
I don't have this issue with pixel launcher or launcher 3, did you set permissions to the launchers you use.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RokuP:
I enabled all permissions for Pixel launcher. I don't see how you can be having a different experience on a clean flash.

What was your exact flashing procedure. What superuser? What Gapps Package and did you customize it in anyway? What Kernel?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cpc71783:
I went with Gapps 7.1 32bit 'mini' because I wanted gmail and a few other bits of functionality. Some can be gotten from the Play Store, but others, not so much. It's a good bit bigger than 'pico' of course, but it's much, MUCH smaller than 'stock' which is just, a ridiculous amount of bloat.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

What exactly is banks gapps? What does it include?

Edit: Nevermind. I looked it up. I would assume it's something similar to mini or micro, but scripted to install gapps versions for specific devices.

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Coming from Chroma MM, and with TWRP I did the holy trinity of wipes, dalvik, cache, data, of course. Flashed ROM and 'mini' gapps and rebooted. I know it said it would take 3-4 minutes to reboot, but now I've been watching the Nitrogen loading animation for about 10 minutes now. Wondering what's up.. Hope this didn't screw the pooch.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
No, not clean flash exactly, I came from previous nitrogen, in twrp I wiped, cache, dalvik and system, I kept my data.

Flashed latest rom with open gapps nano, then

Arise +Dolby

Pixel ringtones 1.1

Sony keyboard

Pixel bootanimation

Flash beta kernel

That's it.

No battery mod, no substratum

I use latest Google app beta, latest chrome beta

for Google Assistent and anywhere.

latest pixel launcher with wallpaper.apk

Nothing more, because flashing to so many great roms for testing takes to much time
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Start over without encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheArkive:
Confusion over encryption - solution

I think I know why people are so confused about the encryption issue.

1) encryption hasn't been an issue with ROMs in a while

EDIT: Very incomplete statement - not helpful.

2) the video that explains how to disable encryption, which is way too long, says that "you must flash a kernel that disables force encryption". That makes it sound like NitrogenOS doesn't have that built in, which it apparently does.

EDIT: NitrogenOS doesn't actively disable force encryption. Additionally, the latest 7.1.1 stock kernel in the factory image does not force encrypt. So for novice users, flashing a custom kernel is still not necessary (as far as I can tell). [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] pointed out the benefits of the custom kernels for shamu. So still clearly worth while, even if not needed.

I just tested it on a clean install and no issues.

EDIT: Partition encryption wasn't enabled on my device. I was under the assumption that force encrypt was enabled on my device, but it wasn't.

You might want to update the OP to plainly state something like this:

"You must either do a full wipe and clean install, or wipe everything except Internal Storage and format Internal Storage (which is the exact same thing as a clean install almost - either way you must backup all your data)."

Also:

"use latest TWRP, and Open GApps, and ensure you on latest bootloader for the device/flash latest factory image first." <- if you really wanted to give complete instructions...

That simple statement in the OP would clear up a lot of confusion for a lot of people, and make that 26 min long video unnecessary.

I'm a seasoned user, and I didn't even know what to expect based on what was posted. I thought I had to use a custom kernel or something (that's what the 26-min long video said).

Hope this helps.

Edited for accuracy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] deadcatsrule:
In the OP it states your phone needs to be unencrypted...I don't see the confusion
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryanallaire:
I think the confusion is that people don't want to read directions and just flash away, then when there's a problem they blame the ROM instead of themselves..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Thanks for the Rom, nittin.. It's fast and works well with the Franco kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rushing:

Super cool work, thanks!

all is working great! This is a DD

Im really glad you put the effort into this ROM I really like it!

5 Stars Rating
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheArkive:
I just wanted to start this on a positive note.

This ROM is amazing. And as stated before, butter smooth. That is amazing considering 7.1.1 was the latest official version.

Bravo [MENTION=280897]nitin[/MENTION]

I've used your ROMs many times before. Top notch as always.

I don't know how to relate to you guys.

1) The video explaining how to disable encryption is too long for the actual information needed. Just "format/wipe internal storage" is all that has to be said. NitrogenOS takes care of the rest.

EDIT: Incorrect. I originally thought NitrogenOS included it's own custom kernel that disabled force encryption. Latest stock 7.1.1 kernel in the factory image didn't force encrypt my device though.

2) that video recommends flashing a custom kernel - bad advice and unnecessary

EDIT: "bad advice" is a bit harsh. I just wouldn't walk a novice down that path unless the ROM required it. This ROM doesn't require a custom kernel as far as I can tell, as long as basic "clean flashing" procedures are followed, including flashing the latest factory image.

3) a previous post actually suggests formatting and wiping will give different results, so stick with format - that's false. I did a wipe, it worked fine.

EDIT: as mentioned previously in this thread, users who enabled partition based encryption MUST FORMAT.

Not even flashing a factory image will reset things to allow installing this ROM without issues. Must format if partition encryption is enabled.

Without partition encryption, a simple wipe / clean flash will suffice. Dirty flash, as always, is subject to instability in the wrong hands.

4) if the OP included 4 simple words "format/wipe internal storage" the number of confused posts would be significantly less.

A non slotted device has not had encryption become a crippling issue for ROM installation in a long time.

EDIT: Yah that statement was incomplete...

Many users opt to not wipe internal storage because its usually not an issue for most ROMs, and is easier.

I could go on...

I just hope someone sees the benefit of making a small modification to be more specific in the OP.

It's a shame that such a good ROM has such an elitist fan base.

EDIT: That statement wasn't necessary. I still see improvement to be had, but that's not the way to get it done. Apologies to the "elites". :(

Edited for accuracy.

Anyone have problems sending MMS's with this Pie on Sprint?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rushing:
.....yup

7.1.1 is horrible.. The Wipe Video is just a little long for advanced users but he is very very thorough and I realized quickly enough that glockman was also trying to help the more beginner types to learn with a little spooning.

THis ROM is SOlid though!

ANd a big thanks to the OP for compiling & sharing this ROM

Hey man (OP) you are doing everyone a big favor, keep up the good work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Don't. There's no reason to use the word confusion.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheArkive:
Ok sorry for stirring the pot. I believe in RTFM. I just also like efficiency and sharing knowledge. I meant no harm.

As [MENTION=4436616]Rushing[/MENTION] said, glockmans video is indeed excellent for beginners. It's very nice to have a resource like that.

I'll do what i can to help users so this thread doesn't rehash the same questions as much.

Nitin, as a small token of thanks I've bought you a coffee. Thanks for all your work in keeping my N6 not only alive but on the bleeding edge. Looking forward to your Android Quark next year... :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheArkive:
Touché [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] (and nice signature quotes too - ya got me).

I apologize for adding confusion. Clearly my statements could have been worded better and more specific. Much of what I was trying to point out was for the benefit of novice users, basically suggesting a "clean flash" instead of a "dirty flash", which is recommended by many users and devs on XDA. I would have considered "how to backup your data" an RTFM topic for sure, though it's cool that the video does cover all of that.

I actually do use custom kernels. I just wouldn't normally suggest that to a novice unless it was absolutely necessary. If I did suggest it I'd follow up with how and when to flash a custom kernel for the sake of the novice users.

I wasn't trying to insist that my was was the only or even the best way. I'm not that naive. I just saw what looked like conflicting info in this thread that seemed to contribute to the reason for the repetitive encryption questions.

Again, I apologize for my misplaced words. I'll do more research and construct my words more carefully next time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
understood, glad i said "it feels like" LOL

all good, thanks for elaboration

Got it! Thanks! I appreciate that :good:

Added your name in the OP :)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheArkive:
Zoiks, sorry everyone. >_<

I see where I went wrong. I was thinking file-based encryption, not partition based. I just replicated those conditions on my shamu and yah, of course, FORMAT is needed for users in that situation. Not even flashing the latest factory image could undo that encryption setting.

I'll edit my posts to avoid misinformation.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Knightxda:
I confirm that, on T-mobile-based MetroPCS, I am not receiving incoming calls if the phone is set on 4G LTE; however, I was able to make calls. With band set to 3G, I am receiving calls, able to make outgoing calls, and internet is also satisfactory. My setup is clean flash with Nitin's 10/5/2018 ROM, and Stock GAPPs. No other mods. Thank you Nitin's and others for keeping our Nexus alive.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Volidon:
Same as the poster above. On Tmobile and can't receive calls while set to 4g and will on 3g instantly. How do I pull the logs for this one?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Hi guys

Haven't tried this ROM yet or any Pie phone/ROM to be honest. Was just wondering if it's possible to change the main volume controls to be ringer instead of the new media volume they have it set to now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pdfruth:
Yes, it unexpectedly reboots on me every night.

I've been using it as a daily driver for several weeks now.

I'm a Project Fi user.

Except for the reboots, it has been working well in all other respects. I was in Denver, Dallas, Ft. Lauderdale, and Charolette last week, and was able make and receive calls & txts the whole time.

After wiping everything, and unencrypting, I flashed;

- nitrogen_shamu-9-PPR2.181005.003

- gapps nano

- magisk 17.1

Booted up

Completed setup

Installed Titatium Backup

Restored my apps using Titanium backup

Then, finally booted to recovery and flashed V4A v1.7.4

The reboots are soft boots. Not a complete reboot of the entire system.

I'll be in the middle of using an app, and Android will stop/start. For example, last night I was in the middle of adding a Calendar event in Google Calendar, and poof... the screen goes dark, and the next thing I see is the login screen.

If I open a terminal window, uptime says 10 days.

Not sure which app might be incompatible at this point.

I've been systematically removing apps (one per day) to see if the behavior changes.

Is there some way to get the reason for the reboot from the logs?

Like, can I connect USB and do 'adb logcat' to get a clue as to the reason for reboot (after the fact)?

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm using Baseband (radio) version MDM9625_104670.31.05.42R. Been using that since I started using PureNexus a couple years back. It's always worked well for me, so I've never messed with it. Perhaps that's the cause for reboots?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Remove V4A and try. If you still get reboot, then check with flashing just the ROM and gapps.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] camcory:
com.android.phone caused the issue and like the next line says earlier logs will point to the root cause you didn't add all of the log, the error happened before what you pasted. Best to give all the log and use something like pastebin
