hello guys, I start with the compliments for the work done, I installed the rom passing from the nitrogen Android 8.1. I wanted to know if it was possible to have a guide for the installation a bit 'more detailed, because I tried them all, factory reset, wipe all the partitions, but some things still do not work, like the face unlock

Dude

There is a video and tons of instructions.

Here is the key: FORMAT not wipe or factory reset, you will lose all ur data. Flash P and enjoy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] anomal77:
ok, thanks, in any case I had already tried so but without any result.

radio works great on Fi

just wanted to report no radio issues with this ROM as DD for almost a week on Project Fi, using FiSwitch as well (force toggles Sprint/TMobile at will; it's a must as I'm usually commuting for work)

so thanks [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] for your dedication to shamu :highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
There is a difference in wipe and format.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
You can't expect to address every variable before you begin. Typically, start with the OP then address each issue as it presents itself. In most cases the OP works, but as this ROM is working on a device many say should be retired, there are always extenuating circumstances.

Good luck,

Hail to the Dev's
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
a lot of blabla.. i'd say, at least when considering that your question was simple easy and clear and the answer is also simply and easily and clearly NO and it has been discussed on every page, mostly many times. your device has to be decrypted, period.

all you text does not have anything to do do with your question whether it works or not when encrypted, again, it doesn't and it doesn't in each single variant of your described "situations" because those have nothing to do with encrypten/decryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Had same thing happen to me. My phone was encrypted from 8.1 ROM,. Doing a wipe did nothing, to decrypt. You have to FORMAT it.

So go to "WIPE > FORMAT" button, you will need to enter "YES" to continue. After format go back to the main screen, then "reboot > recovery" and wait for the phone to reboot back into recovery, when you enter recover you will not be asked to enter password or pattern decrypt, so now everything is wiped on the phone.

You will need to mount the data partition on TWRP, select "mount" and select the data partition checkbox., and plug it in your PC to transfer the ROM, GAPPS, and magisk If you want root.

After transfer, try flashing nitrogen, then gapps.

If you get a /cache/recovery/ directory is not found error, then mount the data partition again, download latest TWRP for Shamu variant and place the IMG file on the phone, then go to "Install > at the bottom select Image" and you will see recovery image there, when you select it, you will be presented with two partitions to install TWRP (boot, and recovery), select "recovery", after the install, go to "Reboot > Recovery" and now you will have latest TWRP recovery, decrypted phone, and flash Nitrogen as normal, this time it will install just fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
As there are no major complaints, I've updated the OP with latest build :good:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I have yet to try this because I need to decrypt and would like to back up my files on a computer first, which I havent had an opportunity for. If I format to decrypt so that I can play around with Pie, if I go back to an Oreo rom that is encrypted afterwards, am I still decrypted? Would it cause an issue running an encrypted rom on a decrypted partition?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] milocj:
Thanks for latest work [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] all works perfectly, but the latest version of substratum and themes, does not work or install layers, I do not know if it is thing of the ROM or the app

Overall DD status ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Will try format and clean flash this weekend. Can't wait to have some pie.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
Flash this zip via recovery. You can also find instant face unlock in the setting.

In my experience I find this feature a bit buggy in the latest update as it not working some times.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
It works always for me (on timen with same commits). Face unlock is dependent on the gapps pack that you use.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
Am using

open_gapps-arm-9.0-micro-20180907

It used to be perfect on nitrogen oreo .

However maybe am alone getting this issue. Waiting for others to comment if possible.

By the way thanks for the instant unlock option :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] marisaleh:
Casting is still not working like it used to work in

Oreo and Nougat.

I added the line: persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 to the

Build Prop, it didn't do anything.

I wonder if anybody else has noticed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rostop4a:
After updating 09.14.2018 the battery is very quickly discharged ...((

PS: dirty flash
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
It will take some time for Pie to reach the level of Oreo and Nougat. I think that should be acceptable. Shouldn't it?

Then you know what to do.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hoantjes:
The level from the Oreo rom is tremendous!

I'm hoping ( I know actually ) that the pie rom will be the same!

Good work dev's!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
? Good job [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
No, if you flash a rom with "forced encryption" you will be encrypted again.

Nitrogen OS is not force encrypted.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Which gapps do you use?

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

When you have some pie you don't go back to Oreo.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jolinnard:
In my case, I have 1 magisk process which consumes 20-25% of CPU after boot. Until you kill it., then all is quiet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]

took me some time due to my quite demanding setup but here is the verdict:

- following instructions to the "T" i had no issues, less trouble than my setup made on oreo

- best ever custom rom so short after release after there were no more factory images to start with

- didn't find anything but the below mentioned, that does not work while nobody is using all the features but i certainly tried most of them

- some missing features were easily to be had with either tasker, apps, and/or build.prop additions

- only thing that didn't work was camera, downloaded open camera and all is well.

. the camera app was obviously installed but did not show in any place but Titanium Backup but was not runnable from there as well.

. i searched for the APK and installed again, further i booted at least 15 times, still no camera2. must be an exceptino because else

. the thread would be full of it but then, even though i'm satisfied with my workaround, i thought it's still worth to mention after i found

. someone else in the thread with the same glitch but his could be resolved with several reboots while in my case no way.

BTW, off topic, the XDA-Search for camera came up empty even though the word was clearly present several times, just FYI, could be

a problem with the site or some browsers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] joseavazquez:
Thanks for such a great rom. In my case the Google camera from the play store is working fine. I installed the app right after flashing the rom on Friday it didn't work. Uninstalled, installed on Saturday it works,??? didn't do anything special just uninstalled and installed again next day. Anyway the rom for being in such an early stage is working great phone LTE and WiFi are working perfectly. No random reboots. Battery life is what I expected for a rom in beta stage. Thanks Nitin for your hard work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Has there been a kernel change from Build 9/9 to 9/14?

Noticing the phone runs warmer, and battery draining quicker. Opening Kernel Auditor I notice Core 1, 2 cores are online, and one of them is at 2.6ghz while the other fluctuates, Cores 3/4 are offline unless I start dragging stuff. I do not remember seeing this on 9/9 build that a core is at 2.6ghz at all times. I do remember seeing that Core 1 and 2 are online, and Cores 3/4 offline but both cores were fluctuating.

Edit: I clean wiped and flashed 9/14 build, nano gapps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Golf c:
I experienced the same behavior. I went back to the kernel for the 9/9 build. CPU cores are back to normal.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Agreed. Did the same. Flashed 9/14 build and restored 9/9 kernel. Best of both worlds. Heat. Battery and cores back to normal.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Skinner7777:
Is there a .zip of the 9/9 kernel? I did a thread search, no info. Also clicked on "thread source" in OP, not a language I currently understand. I'm on 9/14 rom from 9/9, both worked great for me except for intermittent dropped cellular coverage(AT&T)on 9/9. Face unlock is something I haven't quite figured out yet but it's not a big deal to me, I'll get it when I get it. Thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Substratum works. See attached screenshot.

In current build I used trees from carbon. But those are based on camcory's trees. I'll check if there is a difference in kernel commits.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Worth nothing that on 9/9 build, kernel drops LTE signal, can't send/receive calls or texts. Have to reboot, then enable airplane mode, then signal comes back. Happens multiple times a day.

But on 9/14 build, haven't noticed the LTE drop, may not have waited long enough, or issue may not be present in the build.

Edit: another thing I've found during my tests. Is 9/14 kernel has constant 25% CPU load at all times, I checked selinux and it already set to permissive, after flashing 9/9 kernel, CPU load is 2-4% fluctuating.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks for this information. I see 2 users fleshed the kernel from 9/9 build. Let's wait for them to report of anything is broken.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Abdo shniba:
I have the same problem with this kernel, high CPU usage of the first 2 cores all the time, can some one post the 9/9 build kernel file please!.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Golf c:
Just copy it from the 9/9 build and flash it in Twrp. XDA labs won't let me upload it. So far I haven't had any issues running 9/9 kernel on 9/14 build. No signal drops so far on tmobile.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Edit: answer in post above.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Abdo shniba:
Thanks for replying, I'm on a limited data plan and don't want to download the build just for the kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Pie and Titanium

Hi-can anyone confirm a Titanium apps only backup (made from Nitrogen 8.1) can be used to reinstall all with the 9.14 build? Would save a few hours after a format, and in general would be super useful as it may take a few more builds to get all right. Thanks, and thanks also to Nitin for all the hard work keeping the '6 on the bleeding edge..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Just info for those who want a dark theme.

I've replaced the substratum app and sub-themes by an all in one app, called

Swift installer. Works great on this rom (root).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rijazbinu:
Titanium works

No problem with titanium backup for me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fahadahmed11:
Reading the thread daily and staying up to date. So far loving the fact that there is a Pie ROM from Nitrogen OS team and that it's already stable even though it's a beta. Itching to install it but I have just one Shamu and it's my daily driver. Will be replacing the battery day after as it's been 3 years and 8 months with the original battery and it has gotten me so far but the battery life has become horrible with about 1 and a half hours average SOT. I want to replace the battery and then comment with the superb SOT I am expecting with the Oreo build. I am a short vacation so I'm hesitant to try out the ROM along with the replacement of the battery. Will definitely do it once I'm back home from leave and give my feedback if any issues arise.

Thanks to Nitin and the developer team.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neil_swann80:
Could we have a 'what's working and what's not' section within the first post please?

Does the pie rom support encryption now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fahadahmed11:
As far as I have read, encryption is not working with PIE for the time being. And I think Nitin is waiting on feedback from the users to identify and quickly resolve the issues. It would be unnecessary to have a What's working and What's not section in the OP as from what I have read, all the major issues are being tackled within a couple of days and a new version is released. The last few pages also highlight issues that some face but others don't. Since the issues aren't persistent with all users or are being taken care of immediately, regular update of the OP can be avoided for the time being.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hoatienii:
I don't have 9/9 build, could you upload kernel 9/9 please!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neil_swann80:
Seems like it would avoid repeated questions in the thread... my question on 'encryption' being an example.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
This is actually not a bad idea. Might be useful to have 2 sections - one with multiple user experiences, and one with odd one off problems. I assume Nitin himself has some sort of tracking of these things. Maybe there is a way to share - it might indeed answer questions reducing repeats.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Can anyone of you prepare the text? I'll add that in second post.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 93fuelslut:
I'm not going to flash this new update, but do wanna say thanks for the explanation. I just screenshot this for future reference
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
I think Neil has perhaps a better handle on this so deferring to him. But Nitin, I would have thought you have some sort of table/spreadsheet that tries to track this as you code different builds and get feedback? What gaps remain/ or what are frequent or repeating problems vs. just odd one offs? Could you somehow rework this and just copy and paste it?? Thanks (again for all the hard work).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Let's keep it light on Nitin as much as possible, it is wonderful enough he compiles the Rom and maintains it.

I don't mind putting some text down as to whats working and what is not once I get on pc later.

Overall a solid daily driver in my case.

Such as :

Working from my experience :

LTE/3G stable ✔️

Calls/sms✔️

Gps✔️

Compass ✔️

Camera/HDR a bit unstable, reboot or reflash cam to get it going

Battery performance ok✔️

Sound is good, no distortion✔️

Bluetooth ok , doesn't reconnect automatically.

- both Bluetooth headset and GPS watch

Video/YouTube

Advanced reboot working ✔️

Torch ✔️

Night light ✔️

Ambient display ✔️

USB and wifi tethering ✔️ will credit user mentioning it...

We are watching deepsleep, most of the time it is an app restricting n6 to go nanight. Keep reporting. My N6 is sleeping fine.

Not working for some users:

Face unlock

Volte on Verizon [MENTION=5647100]deadcatsrule[/MENTION]

Needs improvements or integration:

Encryption not yet [MENTION=6203486]Sonvolt99[/MENTION]

Camera stops at time, reboot or reflash cam as a work around [MENTION=408428]magnaman[/MENTION]tis

Charging text while phone is turned off but plugged in is very small

Let's chime in

You can IM me, I will add to the list, generate a report and pass it on to Nitin. I am open to feedback.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] milocj:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
You could also try this Kernel

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/testers-oreo-8-1-custom-kernel-t3798205

Smooth, great performance, battery life is good as well, I know the kernel is for 8.1 Oreo, but works on Pie 9.0. Only issue I've ran into is the mobile network is not enabled on bootup, but toggling airplane mode a few times brings it back. Trying to pinpoint the issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I found no improvement in any way using 0909 kernel on Nitrogen OS 0914.

I did find however on 0909 you will loose the ability to power off and advanced reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazzyvishal:
I'm tired of using Screen Filter app on this at night. Why is the lowest brightness level still so high? Can nothing be done to it? :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
a few things to consider:

of course one can try that kernel but i recommend not to use it because:

a) it will make it difficult to narrow down things because one wouldn't know for sure whether it's kernel or rom related,

b) that kernel that was implemented into my last RR Oreo rom was the reason why i already switched to PIE

. the kernel caused issues for me with cell signal drops as well as notification sound and vibration gone under some circumstances

c) with that kernel i had sometimes to boot twice to get normal responsiveness and read/write speeds, mostly it works

. once booting form bootloader instead of directly from recovery.

since there were not many or no other good kernel available for lineage based oreo roms i deciced to upgrade earlier than intended and

all works fine again

i'm not saying that this is general but it took me quite some time (months) to find out that it's kernel related and at least it's worth

a little warning while:

A) is more important in the context and is a valid point. else we are going to see bug reports that have nothing to do with the rom and that

. as usual inclued all the back and forth bickering/discussions due to the fact that not all users have those issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
That's a bin file as far as I know. I didn't want to buy ex kernel app right now. Wife is fighting cancer and money is tight. I assumed a zip would flash with twrp.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
you should concentrate a bit more on the matter:

a) it's a .img

b) img files are flashable via TWRP

c) i don't think he meant to point you at the EX app specifically but to the link with the kernel

d) you can the stock kernel or a rom kernel any time from the zip and or .img separately

hence in short, you simply have to download the boot.img, place it on your sdcard, best in the same place where you store roms and other

files to flash and flash that img file from TWRP.

however i don't recommend it because i'd rather see a bit higher temps than no cell signal or wifi, further i have no heating issues at all

with the latest, who knows what exactly is causing those differences like the camera behaviour and other things.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Ex

I may be wrong, but that response sounded a little rude. And I really think there's too much rudeness on this thread already. I do concentrate as best I can. The browser I was using somehow converted it to a bin file. I didn't think a browser could do that. My apologies. Simple mistake.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick491:

Volte not working period
[Nexus 6 Android Development] camcory:
Volte isnt working at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
yeah, i understand that simple statements of fact come across rude nowadays ;)

however, please consider that there is no way to know how and what you did to get a bin file, hence without knowing that it is not rude IMO to:

a) be surprised that one can see an img as bin

b) providing a detailed and correct tutorial that shows a bit of surprise and the assumption that it was a glitch.

however, apparently things are resolved and i hope that despite the felt rudeness the input was helpful to find out what and why went wrong.

cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
"you should concentrate a bit more on the matter:

a) it's a .img

b) img files are flashable via TWRP"

For clarification, the above statement was the perceived rudeness. It implies that I'm not concentrating or paying attention. And then the two lines after appear to be corrective in tone as if I'm a child needing guidance. Personally, I am just sick of the lack of respect in this and other forums. It seems some obviously get a thrill trolling from behind their keyboard.

I used TWRP, WIPE internal storage, I found that the phone can only boot to the google icon, the phone is stuck, try a lot of ways, and finally found that after booting to twrp (power button + sound button (-)), the phone is connected Computer (usb), then copy the pie rom from the computer to the phone (making a new folder (named download)), then use TWRP, install pie rom, the result is successful. Provided to those in need.
