I had to do this. I've tried it twice and it worked both times. Dirty flash did not work by itself for me. Copy the camera apk file from root to storage. Delete the root apk and restart. Now install the apk in storage. If it still doesn't show, uninstall the app and dirty flash the latest nitro pie. It will definitely show up after you reboot.

Edit: A root explorer is required.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] McMannes:
Thanks for your answers about camera issue.

As a result of after one day usage of rom, I can say:

Application opening speeds are very good but the folder opening animations are very slow. this is a bit annoying. but in general it looks successful rom. Thanks for this great job.

Here is what I ended up doing. The .db file that was in there, I took it from a previous build of Nitrogen. After I copied it into the new one, it basically made my phone assume that it had no mobile data and it was a tablet. Which was no good. (I am sure it was something silly that I did)

However the steps I took to get it to work.

1. Open apn settings and go into one of the apn editors.

2. Remove sim card

3. Back out of the editor and you should see where there are no apn's saved at all

4. Click the + to add a new one

5. Edit as required by your provider

6. (Super important) Insert sim into phone Before saving the apn

7. Save apn

8. It should be on the list now and select it and it should work

Let me know what you guys think. (Seemed easier than trying to fight with db files.

go to developer options and set animations to 0 and see how it goes, it's the first thing i'm doing, after all we pay so much attention to snappiness and at the same time we give more snappiness to useless animations than we gain through expensive new hardware LOL.

built in popcorn kernel was the reason why i switched to PIE prematurely (earlier than intended) it caused immense lags for me and at times i had to boot twice to get the device up to speed.

i'm aware that this can be related to specifics of my setup, nevertheless i think it's worth to mention just in case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drzak:
it should certainly be related to any other thing rather than the pop corn kernel as this is the most stable kernel i ever used and hands down i have used every single kernel existing on planet earth and the milky way ..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I think you are mistaken. Pop kernel was never a part of Nitrogen OS for shamu. With Oreo I shipped EX kernel.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
look man, i'm glad that it works great for you but if you look at my history i would perhaps not just make a statement without further

base than your opinion and experience with your setup.

if you read my post i explicitly mentioned the possibility that there could be a incompatibility with my specific setup.

that says it all and starting a defense against facts discussion only because you apparently belong to the group "what is use is best" does not make much sense.

i had trouble with that kernel and non other before that.

further i'm well known for my various troubleshooting tutorials that include to find culprits that it again doesn't make much sense to simply doubt

my judgement without more than believe and bias in the luggage.

the moment i admit that it could be something in my setup the discussion has to end, hope you understand that for the future.

last but not least when it comes to reliability of custom kernels over the years that goes in this order:

1. ElementalX

2. Franco Kernel

and then comes the whole rest with intermittent stability, once they are stable over months and then they have glitches, mostly due to experiments and premature release (lack of testing)

and very rarely due to lack of skills.

that order was about stability only, about features there can be other personal preferences which is nobody thing to judge, it remains mostly personal preference.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drzak:
the 9.0 comes bundled with ex kernel as well ?

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 PM ----------

whoah ... hold your horses buddy i havent said any thing that necessitated this massive defense indictment ..

it was clear i was just stating my personal experience along with a touch of sarcasm just to enlighten the mood .. im neither related to the founder of the pop kernel nor im his head of marketing department .. with all due respect to your history in trouble shooting neither of us speaks out of the bible in other words what ever what we say its up to the consideration of any individual who is a part of planet earth .. simply non of us speaks scientific theories hence why their wasnt any reason to take my words at heart this intensely .. chill out its just a kernel with whom it worked or not will not going to change the fate of humanity to either the farthest heights of paradise or the deepests depth of the abyss of hell ...

[Nexus 6 Android Development] drzak:
can i use ex kernel with the 9.0 release ?? .. ex kernel is a fine choice for me too ..

has any fellow member tried it already and wouldnt be bothered to share his experience ..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jolinnard:
You can open it from Google Music app, go to settings, playback, equalizer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick491:
EX Kernel has not yet been engineered for 9.0.

Side note, I had any VPN/APN issues but have had a couple of times where the device completely shuts off. Also, the volume adjuster stays on screen like with 8.1 and doesn't disappear until you touch something else on the screen. The battery power seems to extremely diminish and reduce anything lower than 80% (shown in the screenshot). Almost forgot to mention the brightness issue that others have noted.

Otherwise, these are minor issues for me (except for the power issue of course). I use Cricket carrier in California so LTE is mostly always on for me.

Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to test.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cristian86:
Thank you! (And shame on me not searching at first in the most obvious place...) Turning the equalizer on, I get at least for the moment sound on the speakers of my Shamu.

I wanted to give thanks for this awesome ROM, for keeping our Shamus running safely and with current software.. Really cool!!! I have a 4 year old phone rocking Pie while others with 1 to 3 year old carrier phones stuck on 8xx and 7xx..

Wanted to give some feedback as well the things I have noticed which is not much..

On Fi my visual voicemail mail works fine and I had the same Google Play music sound problem as others but it seems the equalizer workaround has got me sound in both speakers and headphones.

Thanks for the tip whomever came up with it.

Thanks Nitin for the great rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
I had this issue when some water got into my earphone jack.

You can turn on the headset icon in status bar items to see if that's the issue. If it shows up, your phone thinks a headset is plugged in. Clean the port with a q-tip stick, cut the cotton end off.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] drzak:
i successfully installed the rom and currently im testing it .. im just having a question ... is the navigation gestures which normally comes bundled with the pie available in this release ? because the pixel launcher included does not have the pill and when i enable the navigation gestures and hide the navbar still no pill which makes navigation really a hit and miss .. i can inject the pie launcher which has the pill into the system but i just want to get sure if the rom is designed to support such setup also want to clear up that their aint something missing from my side ? .. the video that previewed this release on you tube was showing the exact navigation mechanism/interface of the pie .. am i missing something ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ExpertMC:
It is actually under AOSP Gestures not the navigation gestures
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cristian86:
Thanks! I still get sound so turning the equalizer on was the solution for me.

Untill now I did not have any water in my Shamu an I do clean every now and then the earphone jack.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
this screenshot doesn't tell us much but thanks to mention a working kernel.

one would need to know at least typical usage during the 1.25 hours SOT and the screen bightness to make an approx assessment.

for me 37% in 13 hours and 1.25 hours SOT appears not very convincing. 1.25 hours would typically account for 15-20% battery drain and 12 remaining hours of idle would typically account for 6-9% battery drain for me. that would put it in the range of 21-29% battery drain with that usage at full brightness, hence i assume that your usage during the 1.25 hours was heavy, else it's no good.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
FOR ME I usually judge the battery drain as good if

Drained 1% every 3 minutes sot (with normal usage)

Drained 0.5 - 0.8% every hour while in deep sleep.

And this rom is so near to this values .. Hope in the future it will get better.

Note: no edit to the rom kernel settings
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
agree to idle but 300 minutes is 5h SOT that's not what i consider good, anything below 6.5-7h is not good IMO but of course one would have to look very closely at the use-cases.

my nexus 6 still makes it for 8.5 hours on OREO (new battery LOL)

and the OP2 and OP6 and OPO still make it for 6.5-7h (all have new batteries as well or are less than 6 months old (OP6))

with this ROM i still have to see a bit longer but certainly more than 6h which makes it at around 4 minutes per percent down.

after all i have pie only a few days with a lot of testing and stuff, hence no proper assessment is possible by now, too many changes and installs etc.

will check soon.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I dont have a lot of sot. I choose my kernel for battery usage at idle. So far, less tha 1% per hr is acceptable for me.

Edit: Not saying I achieve any of said goals. Always trying anyway.

Just want to report one issue I faced.

Clean flashed the latest one (0927) with opengapps mini, using "Quickstep" instead of "Google Now Launcher"

Go to Settings > Personalization > Gestures > Navigation gestures > Enabled, then disabled the Navigation bar

I found the icons on Home Screen cannot be removed, press and hold does not give any responses

Is that the "Quickstep" launcher behavior or bug? I am not sure...

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick491:
Tested the new 9.0 beta ROM and lost carrier connectivity (disconnected). I really liked how the brightness issue had been resolved and the new boot splash was kind of cool too.

I wasn't able to get connected even though it did detect the carrier, SIM, as well as LTE; although I wasn't able to send/receive data. Didn't try to make any calls to test and just dirty flashed the older version. Checked the changelog; impressed by the dedication.

EDIT: Noticed that the power menu options didn't work (power off reboots system and advanced reboot also went back into the system).

EDIT2: Forgot to mention that the power image remains broken when completely powered off yet plugged in. I haven't had the chance to try on a non-Nitrogen ROM with 9.0 but if I ever get the time to try a non-Nitrogen ROM I will and post the results.

I tried couple different radios per your suggestion, tried Verizon specific from official OTA, extracted from official image and flashed latest radio, same result. On initial flash of nitrogen pie, I get LTE signal during phone setup wizard and radios work, then any subsequent reboots results in radio being disabled, I have to manually enable by accessing phone information screen *#*#4636#*#*.

I also tried the latest official global radio, extracted radio from official image, same result. I tried stock kernel, and also popcorn kernel, no change.

Is this happening to any one else?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Not sure I agree. With Nougat, my data connection was awesome. With Oreo, my data connection and calls sucked. I had to find a better radio. I started using version shamu_baseband_D4.01-9625-05.45+FSG-9625-02.117 and its been a lot better. Works well with pie so far. It does seem that the roms, regardless of origin, have an effect on the radio/connection.

That's the latest radio and is working well on my Shamu. And also on previous rom's.

When there is no connection at all you may assume it's caused by a rom.

When there are dropouts and bad signals one could flash another radio instead of blaming the rom.

With this Rom I've no issues when using the radio mentioned in the post of [MENTION=7287985]Fred Simm[/MENTION].

But I'm in the EU and don't need the Verizon and/or Sprint stuff that's in the rom. When you're rooted and have a backup you could try to delete the Verizon stuff. I've never had a disabled radio, but with Nougat I've tried the '4636' commands to enable lte, but didn't work here.

Is it possible you dirty flashed the rom and than got the radio issues?
