Is there anyway to change this to aosp for those who don't want custom ones? I can confirm pico works and aroma works when you remove all the custom system apps and use the replacement google ones. I think pixel dialer and messenger were included because I have both somehow and they work perfectly. Haven't had camera issues either or sysUI issues unless using custom nav bar or changing wallpaper via long pressing the home page. I use SuperSU and not the included superUser if that helps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phr0zen:
Is there any way to make the built-in aosp apps a separate flashable zip? Or could I delete them through TiBu without causing any issues?

When I downloaded Google's phone and deleted the aosp version, the phone would ring but I couldn't tell who was calling or answer it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
Not sure what you mean by built in aosp. If you use aroma you can remove the apps that come with this ROM and add the google ones. That gave me pixel launcher, pixel dialer and pixel messenger and all work perfect. Plus the added benefit of removing all the bloat apps from this ROM to save more storage space. :) Even have the 3d touch and Google's VPN.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phr0zen:
Last build I installed open gapps pico and got aosp apps :rolleyes:. Wiped, reflashed with another set of gapps and had 2 versions (google and aosp respectively). I'll try aroma, thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] abalam:
No problem here with rom or gapps. Just download banks dynamic gapps sdk25 from here https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/0Bwcofov-xyI0ZVhQUWJhMm9PMkU

Running fine
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TopOfNewYork:
Is it safe to use substratum theme engine again?

It is available for download in the playstore again but it also has a disclaimer about actually using it?

Anybody successful theming 7.1/sdk25?

:thumbup::thumbdown::confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
No problem. Aroma is pretty great just make sure you get everything you need and remove their duplicates or it will bloat. It's kinda confusing the first time lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Emilius:
...or use OASP apps remover and wipe all out, install pico apps and the rest get from Play Store. Can not be cleaner then that ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DaRealBlurryface:
Will the custom kernels like Franco or elementalx work with the superuser or do I need to flash SuperSU
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
... or Titanium Backup 7.5.0.1 which can do a LOT MORE useful things
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DaRealBlurryface:
I themed my nav bar to look like the pixel nav bar using substratum
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Would you care to share the way you have done it?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
Well aroma makes everything I need a system app so I don't have to do it myself plus it's all done from recovery all at once while you install your ROM and SuperSU so I don't have to boot in and waste time then reboot to recovery and do more. Aroma is the perfect way to tie it all up nice and neat to the point where we won't need to worry about things not working right. I mean everyone has a preferred method obviously and I just found aroma so so far that's my favorite. I haven't tried titanium much but I might jump in and give it a shot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phr0zen:
Indeed it was lol. Must've had a bad download because it shuts off at 4% and goes back to twrp. Boots fine but still have aosp apps ugh... Slow internet

Even with pico gapps, I still get aosp gapps :( never remember having this problem before

Yeah, I tried removing apps that way and ran into issues. There must be some other files I should remove as well so they don't conflict with each other.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
It's probably not a bad download. That's a issue they face with the installer. Just have to re flash till it works. For me it worked 2 out of 3 tries. To bad I can't find my aroma save because it's already written to remove the default ROM apps and install the new Gapps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Mikegrmn:
So I was trying this yesterday and always got an error when recording my voice which means I couldn't activate always on listening. My phone is fully set to english(US) although I'm in Europe. Turns out that the search was set to google.de. Once I changed this to google.com, it worked. Just thought I add this little tidbit for others, just in case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phr0zen:
I really appreciate the time you and others are taking, as maybe someone else may run into the same issue. Just downloaded dynamic gapps as another person suggested and still ended up with this. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone to use that browser... Except maybe my ex. Guess I'll attempt TiBu again. Oh, and aroma didn't work 3 out of 3 times so I 86'd it

OMG! Thank you so much! Just saw your post and this cleared everything up. I'll leave everyone alone now :silly:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
Well we are a community to help each other. If for some reason you decide to use aroma again I'll include my .txt from my install. It will show you my logs and options so that you can choose exactly what I did and everything should just work without tweaking. Glad you got everything working though! Enjoy the ROM. I have, it's absolutely amazing. My battery is way better than it used to be which is good because I got the phone in 2014 so it's way old now :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
AdAway v3.2 works with this ROM and has systemless option. There was something that I did a few days ago which I think may have been a bug but I'm not sure. Can anyone check so I know I'm not crazy lol. Anyway here was my issue. I run this on an AT&T Nexus 6 and when I used the LTE Enabler/Disabler quick setting in the pulldown it actually shut my GSM service off and switched it to CDMA and I wasn't able to get GSM back until I Reset all network connections :eek: not exactly sure why but I shouldn't have that error anymore because I never use that setting. I've just been bug testing the ROM basically. It's my daily driver so anything I find I'll just mention here. But it would be helpful if other people could report back on if this bug is happening on other phones and not just mine :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
For those who asked no you don't have to re flash Gapps when you dirty flash this ROM. Tested.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] heisenbergfromIN:
Pleasing don't share links to files not freely available to everyone. Ask people to download EX Kernel Manager to support the developer instead. Newer versions of ElementalX are available to users through a paid app for a reason. Please delete the link or at least seek the developer's permission before posting one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
ive read somewhere that kernel must be flashed before magisk if u want to root.

so rite now iam already rooted and if i want to update the kernel to 5.19 what procedure is good .

and one more thing do i need to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the updated kernel ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
If you have a question on the Kernel, please post in [KERNEL] [January 29] ElementalX-N6 4.27 (Nougat) 5.05 (Oreo)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
ROM running nicely. Thanks again to the Dev's for your hard and dedicated work to the N6.

I am working on a project related to battery usage, charging your device, and different charging practice.

I am conducting this project on the N6, it's respective users, and this specific ROM.

When the survey is complete, may I post it here for your participation?

I second that.

It has improved battery life on this rom by manifolds.

If you look around, there are lots of fixed in May security patch, so there are major changes; but dirty flash should work anyways (And if it doesn't you know what to do, right?)

Hi,

Flashed clean yesterday withe the April edition. When tapping the round button at the bar, keeps getting to choose the launcher. I push always (pixel) but it keeps on asking me. Dirty flashed the new May edition few minutes ago, still does not help.

On other issue, can not get Root. Can someone explain how?

Thank you.

It wasn't necessary but i did, you can skip this and follow as mentioned previously. It should be working and if not, then clean flash again.

How to consume battery in the new update? Improved ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ajaynsurana:
Always loved this ROM. Was on and off as I was getting deep sleep issue. I was using naptime, stopping apps from running in background and not sure because of that I had issue.

Tried new update, didn't make any kernel changes, didn't install naptime, didnt stop any apps from running in background and yes, my phone is getting into deep sleep now :)

Thanks Nitin for all your hard work and support.

Hi,

thanks for the new build!

Since I'm very curious in this things, I would like to know, what will happen, if I wipe only system-partition + cache/dalvik and flash than the new NitrogenOS?

I always did clean flashes (exept one time, when I was curious to see if anything bad happens after a dirty flash. Nothing happened but I did few days later a clean flash) and actually I'm searching for a way to update the ROM without having to make all the settings again.

Thanks,

Cristian

I had some lag issues on this end. also has some intermittent charging issues.

Put the N6 on the charger overnight, like usual, went to take her off the charger and was only at 55%. Checking cable/charger/etc today.

re-flashed update, Gapps, wipe dalvic... seems to be better... still working on it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PielunA:
Thanks for a fresh new build.

I found you've just shipped the latest build with elementalx kernel included. That's good. But the built-in kernel keeps me from installing elementalx kernel manually. Flashing the kernel after the rom causes bootscreen loop. Is this intentional? I want to setup that with custom settings.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
Use EX Kernel Manager to setup whatever you want:good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cmh714:
Try holding Power and Vol up at same time for several seconds that usually clears that issue for me....YMMV

For future update from Ex Kernel,

I Flash the rom but when I flash ElementalX from Ex kernel app i got a bootloop. I know this rom is build with 5.19 which is the last update from Ex Kernel but in the future, if there are 5.20 update, it will cause bootloop also ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ng1025hk:
dirty flashed new build by twrp3.2 , from 15/4 build ,and all good

using magisk , kernel adiutor, all works

thanks nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jkdrinkard:
Clean or dirty flash? Updating the kernel should not cause a bootloop. The last time I updated there were no problems. Clean flash usually fixes abnormal problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krakou69:
Clean flash.

After clean flash :

Flash the rom

Flash gapps

-> booting ok

Flash the rom

Flash gapps

Flash exkernel 5.19

-> bootloop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PielunA:
Good suggestion. I'll take-a-look if it does.

In my case, clean flash. I tried as much combinations as when I order a pizza. With no luck.

Does it have control OC, screen on/off gesture or specific options given on its Aroma installation?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
Everything you want as far as I know. Give it a try or claim a refund in the playstore
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MiroALG:
why you flash exkernel its already built in
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
can you plz pm me the screenshots of kernel audiutor settings pages. all of em thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krakou69:
I know that exkernel is build it in.

But just in case if any update of Exkernel was out, it may cause a bootloop.

Are you agree with me,

if the rom is Exkernel compatible,

if I want to flash Exkernel 5.19, it will not cause a bootloop.

I just back up what I experienced.

Thx
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
it didnt cause bootloop for me. iam running previous build of this rom which came with 5.18 of xkernel version, but then i updated the kernel to 5.19 with no issues. still running it tho. will update to the current build when i get time.

How can I remove encryption status on this rom?

If someone could point out the exact procedure please :))

I have Oct 2017 Full OTA if that needs to be flashed again. Or should I just boot latest ex kernel! * Confused *
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
You need to format all memory including sdcard. To avoid forced encryption when booting, you need to flash first a kernel like ElementalX that doesn't force encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] def1003:
Best rom since PureNexus in my humble opinion, appreciate your work, only thing ive noted is that when dirty flashing i have had to also reflash gapps and redo face unlock for it to work which isnt surprising since it is not a native feature on our device, thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Max.Payn3:
Thanks for the reply

so what will i do is wipe everything in TWRP including sdcard ( internal memory )

Flash the Nitrogen rom again - Gapps then latest Ex Kernel ( Btw what's the latest version :p Ppl saying 5.19 but the official thread shows 5.05 o.0 ??

will that do ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Nitrogen has already ElementalX 5.19 (latest) built-in
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Max.Payn3:
But in Settings / Security / Encryption Status: it says Encrypted!!

I'm so confused right now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PielunA:
You should format whole data partition, and boot with the system not forcing encryption. N2 ROM won't force it so give it another shot. Format /data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
That means only that you are currently encrypted. Unless you decrypt your phone's storage, any kernel will say that.

EX will not force your phone back to an encrypted state once you decrypt it, but neither will it force an unencrypted state. It is not an unencrypted kernel - it just doesn't FORCE encryption like some will.

You have to study up on how to unencrypt if it is important to you, and I am pretty sure the process has been well documented.

You should search.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Max.Payn3:
Yes my bad I was actually going to Advance wipe in TWRP - wipe Data -_-

The option was already there to Format

Thanks for the help guys ^^

March 2018 build random hangs and System UI not responding messages

I am still on the March 2018 build and while the ROM performs fine most of the time, every now then it will hang and I get messages like System UI not responding and occasionally some other app.

I didn't get this error when I first flashed the ROM but after a couple of month's use I am seeing it more often. Sometimes I have to restart the phone to get back to normal or the phone will restart itself :(

Since I don't really have critical data on the phone (it's my secondary one) I wonder if I should clean flash the latest build (May?)

Does that mean erase everything (one at a time) apart from user data and also GAPPS?

Thanks

I strayed for a while from my Nexus 6 due to switching from Verizon to MetroPCS back in November, been using a zte blade zmax which was very similar to the n6 just the camera lacks but the battery is literally almost 3x as good as the Nexus. Anyway switched back due to the zte losing wifi at work lately and it's been pissing me off (2.4 band is messed up at work and the zte doesn't have 5g). Booted up my Nexus and still had the previous 7.1.2 nitrogen build from August 2017 going and the phone didn't miss a beat. Decided to take the plunge to the newest 8.1 build 2 days ago and it is absolutely rock solid running it with the newest 8.1 stock gapps and it's been absolutely amazing. Nitin thank you dude for keeping us up to date with the builds, this rom is better than what Google puts out!

Clean flash means erase everything including user data, i.e. wiping everything except internal storage (where your flashable ZIPs should be) in TWRP.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
Playing around with kernel auditor last night. Forced a kernel panic.... Go on, laugh at me. I'll wait.

Anyway, forced a restart. Nothing came back up. No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no flashlight.

Had basic phone and data services, nothing else.

Couldn't figure what happened clean wiped and flashed . Same thing, dirty flashed and everything was back.

I got curious so I forced a kernel panic without using kernel auditor. Got it to happen again.

Once I did a manual restart everything was fine.

Anyone have thoughts on what happened?

My thoughts if it's going to shut down one service in or shut down all services. Are there something services that take priority over others? For example basic phone and basic data?

Outside of some hard testing, everything smooth and stable.
