Thanks! So will the format clear root as well? I am stock rooted at the moment.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Don't know, but I'm sure that flashing a new rom will.

If you have installed TWRP already, these things are easily fixable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] barats:
I do have TWRP. It's great to use and better than Clockwork for me.

I didn't know installing a new rom would clear root, though. I thought you had to be rooted in the first place to be able to install these roms. At least that is how it was for me on the Evo and Note 2.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Download Rom, gapps, magisk. Copy everything to your PC, including all photos, documents, backups of anything else you want.

Boot to TWRP, make sure you can access phone from PC to copy stuff back afterwards. Make sure this works or you'll be stuck without phone until you get it going.

Format Data (have to type yes) them wipe system and data. Reboot to TWRP. Copy Rom, gapps, magisk to the phone, then flash them all in the same order.

Reboot to system, setup phone and restore backups etc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] barats:
Thanks man for the concise way to do it!

I have moved to Colt as this ROM is no longer supported. But Colt seems to have performance issues that NItrogen doesn't and plus has greater battery demands. I have seen Colt shutdown my N6 suddently and without warning.

Anyway out of interest thought I would go back to Nitrogen to compare and tried the last release. Loaded it onto my phone and then tried to install it using TWRP (wiped everthing apart from storage). But received an error message (can't recall the exact text) about this version of Android is only for Shamu (and that is where I was trying to install it). Did a few times with different downloads and the same message. So have gone back to Colt!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] axlsand:
Try to reinstall the TWRP, and about Nitrogen, it's a good ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
For me Yes . I used it heavily for the last several months and it was fully working till i shifted recently to crdroid beta .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Despite loving my OnePlus 6T, but came across a near mint in box Nexus 6 for $60. So I snagged it. Its been about 18 months since I replaced it with the 6T. Despite my enjoyment of the 6T I have always missed the N6. Anyway,s I am stoked to have a N6 again and am looking to flash this rom when I get the phone later this week.

Wondering what peoples experiences are for this ROM? I loved Nitrogen OS when I had my old N6, but wondering how this current iteration is?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Most are on android 10, but Nitro is solid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I know it's probably subjective, but what A10 rom(s) do you recommend? I also read that Los 17.1 was released recently for N6.

[MENTION=2857649]ozzmanj1[/MENTION]

I was surprised to see this thread awake again... :)

I would definitely go for a 10 ROM rather than Nitro, which is no longer maintained. Me, I'm very happy with crDroid 10, which naturally has a few complainers, but for me is totally stable and all the features that I use (including Bluetooth audio) work absolutely fine.

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-crdroid-v5-4-t3931622

I was a user of Nitin Chobhe's ColtOS 9, and I would also be using ColtOS 10 if crDroid had not appeared first. (This ROM, Nitrogen, was also Nitin's ROM and I was a long-time happy user of it.)

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-coltos-shamu-t3709921
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Bluetooth audio works in almost all 10 ROMs now including Colt ;) (as it is fixed in lineage device trees by [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] )

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Do a twrp and flash one. Linrage 17.1 is android 10,solid. Colt is smooth. Crdroid is well done.

So you gotta try. All are daily drivers. ?

Nitin does a good job and maintain always since long ago. So colt 4 me.

There is, also blissrom, really nice.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Thank you for the information. I shall check these out.

Thank you Nitin for the information. Also I would like to thank you again for the nitrogen os and all your work. Of Al the customs ROMs I used in the past for nexus 6, nitrogen is still my hands down favorite OS and I always appreciate your work.

Side question, any chance of a nitrogen os revival? May I ask why nitrogen os was discontinued? I just absolutely love this rom and am sad to see it no longer active. I don't mean any disrespect, just curious, if anything I have great respect for your work.

Either way thank you again.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

Thank you for the suggestions. I shall try them out, thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I wrote this when I decided to stop Nitrogen for shamu.

I don't have enough time to maintain anymore ROM than the ones that I'm maintaining presently (at least now). Maybe someone take Nitrogen ROM and build it for shamu, I can help with whatever I can :highfive:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozzmanj1:
I understand, thank you again. I got curious and saw pixeldust, is this still active or just coltOs?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Pixel Dust (another Chobhe Mark of Quality product) is no longer developed. I think that it was the nicest ROM I've ever used because of the customisations, but as I said I'm now OK with CrDroid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ozzmanj1:
Okay, been looking at ColtOS, and it does look really nice. My like new (9/10) will be in a day or two. Can't wait to dig into this. Sorry for necro-ing a thread.

Someone posted a link to this thread for an install of Substratum that does work with Nitrogen. I will try to find it for you. I downloaded it and it installed and works fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
But don't forget to unroot before

SR3 is out!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gadgetwiz:
I'm sorry to ask this, but I root my phone about once a year.

I was using SuperSU before the install and don't have a preference.

Following the instructions:

(DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU, SuperUser is included in ROM. If you need to flash it, download SuperUser from here and flash it)

When I "Install" GApps, it get an options:

Customize

Install the Super package

Exit to Recovery

What do I do here?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
That has nothing to do with SU.

Just install the package, or customize what gets installed. Up to you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
The confusion comes, probably, from the "Super" word, common to the gapps package and to SuperSU.

In your case Super is only the name of the gapps package,not at all related to the SuperSU.

Why do you install Super gapps package, do you need Android Pay? Otherwise, if you don't need it, just install stock gapps package - at least it doesn't have options.

Just noticed too that when someone calls, I never get a box to answer or reject the call...it just rings. I get the notification after I've missed the call though and can dial out ok. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What dialer are you using? Did you flash anything else apart from ROM and gapps?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] kidhudi:
if you have installed the pixel dialer you must set it as default in the apps section. same thing was happening to me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chrishuff1:
Whatever one came with the rom, guessing just the stock google one (non pixel). My old google dialer had a VM tab too...is that gone now?

I'm using WeatherM8 and it updates the lockscreen but only on the interval that it's set to in WeatherM8 settings., and it's my favorite weather program. The developer is a guy that put it together in his free time, and it's so clean, minimal, beautiful UI, perfect functionality, and you can feed weather stats from any of the current sources, like, AccuWeather, Foreca, Weather Underground, Aviation Weather Center, or Yr.no. I use it combined with MyRadar.

Got a question for you guys. I am eyeing this ROM to give it a try, but there are a few things I have been having some issues with on other nougat roms that I wanted to see if they were working fine here before going through the hassle of switching.

Is always on "OK Google" recognition working? I didn't realize how annoying it would be to not have it, but havent had it working in a while and really would like to get it back. And second, does wifi-assistant work properly? Just another one of those little features that I didnt think I would miss until it was gone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Slickademo:
It's after you install the project Fi app. You need it installed to jump networks I'm pretty sure

So why OpenGapps PICO build..?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] angus242:
I've got it to work...sometimes.

Here's what I did. On Nitrogen 10/24, I followed the steps to edit build.prop to get Assistant to work. I loaded Google app version 6.8.14.21. I could NOT get Assistant to work. I updated to 10/31 which overrode any build.prop edits I made. I changed default language in Google app to English (UK), cleared app cache and rebooted. I could then set detection to "always on" and it did work with screen off.

I just checked the app settings right now and "always on" was turned back off and I couldn't turn it on. Ok Google did not work from any screen.

I deleted the voice model, changed default language back to English (US) and retrained voice. It works again even from screen off. Who knows if it will stay. If it continues to be inconsistent, I might try going back to a Google app version that is stable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Emilius:
That is really shame...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
How I handled this was to make a backup prior to installing any overlays that you can go back to, then install your overlays and set it up. Then you can just dirty flash over it again if you need to. I dirty flashed after removing layers and it worked.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NJD316:
Donation sent. 3HL28813T41594219. Thank you for all your work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
I would also restore your backup after making it, just to make sure it works before messing with layers. I recently had a couple of backups that didn't restore on other roms.

Also, just make a backup after each dirty flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] grgana:
Thanx, so it looks like the safest way to do it to remove layers, make a backup in twrp, in case it bootloops i will need to clean flash, because i didnt make backup prior applying layers.

ps I'm on 24.1o. Bulid..and want to jump on 3.11..

Thanx , for your reply!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
And DON'T use the theme ready gapps. You won't be able to install any overlays if you use the theme-ready gapps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] grgana:
Thanx man!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
.x
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gadgetwiz:
What is this "theme ready gapp" we're not supposed to use?

Edit:

Google told me this: The theme ready gapps are supplements for themes..like BSC,KleerKat,etc..they are modified for themes.

So I'm assuming it's something I would accidentally use with the normal gapp zip file.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mashuto:
I wonder then maybe if this is a nougat AOSP issue and not related to any individual ROM itself.

I'm going to assume I'm the only one, but anyone on Verizon have any issues with flashing the 10/13 build? I always clean flash no matter what, so I flashed the 10/13 build like I always do, fresh and new... Went thru the set up process... It hung at the activation cellular service.. I had signal bars but could never get data.. So I backed up and used WiFi. Got the phone set up, went into the cellular settings, and had no APN settings. So whipped everything and flashed my backup of Nitrogen OS and everything is fine and have data. Anyone have any clues what might went wrong? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
all you had to do is add your APN info and you would have been fine

On the last build, I lost root with the supersu in the op; I rebooted and flashed SuperSU 278 and all was fine.

Had the same thing here 10-11 build works fine but the newest one has no apn settings for me, and no options to add them as far as i can tell.

Maybe a Verizon thing idk, might try dirty flashing later tonight.

I had data issues this morning and could only pick up Verizon 2G. This was between 5:30AM and 7:30AM EST. After a few restarts I finally resumed service. Had to be a verizon issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
So okay Google function is not at all dependable I've found. I've flashed every version of this ROM so many times that I found okay Google works sometimes and sometimes it won't. As for Google assistant, that works perfect :) I've been using it. I'm unsure if you care but mirror cast seems to be an issue for people but I think that's Google's fault because I've only seen mirror cast work on a marshmallow build.

Yeah I named everything off in my post.

ROM: NitrogenOS 11/3

Kernal: The Flash 1.3

Gapps: Custom Aroma. More than happy to share my custom selection in the form of a .txt file :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] khanam:
Guys I had ok Google anywhere work on Google assistant for a short period of time as well but then it went away. It is very finicky it seems and at least for me wouldn't survive a reboot. I don't think these mechanisms like changing language to UK English etc are permanent fixes. We probably need it to be properly ported over instead of shoehorning it in somehow. Kind of reminds me of the antenna tricks people had to play with televisions in the 70s.

Can we make that the final word for now on Google assistant so we can focus on the ROM? I have the black camera on open issue. Could it be due to Gapps or is something to do with the ROM? I don't have the issue with other camera apps such as open camera so I suspect Gapps could be the issue

Theme ready gapps are NOT something you would normally use unless you want to use Substratum and layers. So, don't worry about this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ZerosMadness:
Same here. It's an issue for many. I mean Chrome cast app works to cast to Chromecast but I want to cast my screen to anything. Not just a Chromecast and I think it's just an issue with 7.0/7.1 unless there is a real fix that works for most people. But I've tried them all with no dice :/

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

I prefer The Flash kernal over the PureNexus kernal. It seems to be more snappy and idk how related it is but my battery lasts longer on The Flash kernal. I'm actually at the end of my day as we speak, my day starts at 2:30pm and ends at 5am(I run a night life as I work for a school in the AV department) and I'm at around 48% battery life. It's better on days when I don't use my phone all day because a huge part of my job is using my phone and then I can end a day with it somewhere in the mid 50s. Days I watch YouTube it ends at about 19%. Those were my 3 day experiences. 2 were on the 10/31 build and 1 was on 11/3 build. I've also noticed that nothing stays on a whole lot in the background. I often stay between 800mb to 1.1ish GB or ram usage in a full 24hrs. On 7.0 I was normally up to 1.5 or 1.7. idk how relevant any of that is to kernal but that's my experience mixing Nitrogen os and the flash kernal. Usage probably varies because not all batteries and CPUs are the same. Just because 1 phone scores a high mark doesn't mean another will. So play with a combo and choose your favorite. And if you want to flash a kernal just go to recovery and flash it. I normally do cache and delvik wipe to. But I have been clean flashing it all lately in this order:

Wipe data, cache, delvik>Flash ROM>ROM unroot>SuperSU>Aroma Gapps>Kernal>reboot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Naseerkhan:
So i was on PureNexus (The latest version) and wanted to try another ROM, went for this one but boy did it disappoint me.. I don't know it maybe just me but this thing is slow and lagging, and needs a lot of polishing.. Hope the developers look into it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Are you sure you are on Nitrogen and you are saying is lagging?? This is the snapiest ROM I've ever used.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Naseerkhan:
Sure and yeah it was lagging, i clean installed it wiped the internal storage before hand Just In Case. Then did a clean install in TWRP and the end result was lag and slow response. Switched back to the PN after an hour of use.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] DroidDredd:
Somethin' up with your phone or your flashing process dude, this is a Great Snappy ROM, though I make sure not to knock any DEV's work, lets just say I have tried others and came right back to Nitrogen within hours. I am positive most folks here will agree with me :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Naseerkhan:
1st I went to the TWRP and wiped the internal storage then restarted my phone and put Nitrogen OS and GApps in the internal storage.
