I'm not getting what you wrote in this post. Please use punctuations so others and understand.

If it's working with Google Now, then use that launcher. What's the problem?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Sorry I'm not so good at punctuation's I got my high school diploma in prison :)

I was just asking if theres a way to enable the icon shortcut feature on the other launchers like the Quickstep or Pixel launcher

The Google Now Launcher is like old school launcher missing features like notification dots and change icon shapes ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] youssefkr:
Hey everyone, does anyone know how to change that LTE font and size to what it was on oreo ? It's hideous on this rom lol

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I've no idea about that :(

I use Nova launcher and it has what I need.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] H4X0R46:
I'm checking back here and seeing a newer build from the first one this month! Neato! Is the data issue still the same or has that been tweaked? Are we still changing to GSM/WCMDA for a workaround? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] glockman4519:
I agree that there supplied launcher has few options. Pixel launcher is the same way. Like [MENTION=7580658]nittin[/MENTION].chobhe mentioned, Nova Launcher, IMO, this the better launcher. I use it as well. It has tons of great features and you can back it up after setting it up the way you like. That way you can restore a backup if needed. I have several backups with different icons and folders... You should give it s try.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I haven't heard anything about data on last build (i.e. on 14 Sep); and no news is good news ;)

....and my testers informed me that data works as expected, no need to change anything.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] maksimreder:
Few bugs noticed from my week of testing.

1) Woke up this morning and saw the data is gone, no cell bars, went to #*#*4636*#*# to enable radio power which then data came back. After data returned, power cycled the phone and again, no data, had to manually enable. It was working great from the beginning, I changed nothing from the initial flash. Other than governor settings in the CPU.

2) Netflix is not working, keeps saying "Loading" wondering if this is a DRM issue?

3) interactive governor is very aggressive, and hangs at high frequencies, then slowly drops down, jumped back up to 2469mhz and stays there for a good while even though the CPU usage is less than 4%, which yielded a 10 hr battery, i changed governor to conservative, which was better, got 15 hrs before needing a recharge, UI elemts we're sluggish, I want to get the smoothness back, so changing back to interactive governor is what I think the interactive governor should act.

I went from interactive > conservative > interactive and getting a full day usage from the phone. I'm not sure why changing to conservative and back to interactive works, maybe the conservative governor is setting settings then interactive sets it's own settings and conservative settings are retained, bit now my idle frequencies are at 300mhz where as before we're 2469mhz, and stayed there.

4)cant get substratum to work, installed the theme engine, downloaded a substratum theme from Google play, and applied it. Nothing changed.

5) Google duo echo, I use Google duo to keep in touch with my family and my wife says she here's her echo, as she talks, there's a echo she hears on her end. It's ROM related because when I flash a Oreo ROM and repeat the test few times, no echo, voice is fluid, and clear. When I go back to NitrogenOS, echo is back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
1. & 3. Related to kernel - can't do anything from my side. For 1. observe the data when you do not tinker with the kernel and report back with results.

2. Can anyone else confirm this?

4. You need to enable the overlays from Substratum App - Manager

5. Will have to wait for a fix. There were reports like these on Oreo too iirc

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Netflix will play the Trailers.

Try to play a movie directly and after download.

Both do not work. Continuous loading animation.

Same after installing an old version 4.16.

The app Swift Installer is a dark theme that works great with Pie and this rom.

Includes many layers and install routines for the selected layers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
1. Cellular Connection is fine, data connection is fine... Going to #*#*4636*#*# is crazyness since we have in settings, network & internet, mobile network, preferred Network type has all the options we need.

2. I tried latest Netflix... It works fine... No issues to report

3. Set to powersave

4. I Don't use substratum

5. I Don't use duo, I use Hangouts for ALL my voice calls via GV and all my SMS texts via GV and all my Hangouts messages and it works perfect. Kernel adiutor or EX Kernel has options to fix microphone problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
I've dirty flashed from O to P. No issues, but Netflix only plays trailers. Not movies or downloads.

Curious if you did a clean flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
AM happy that there is a hope to fix this . Thought that developers forgot about this annoying echo bug as it is there since 1st oreo rom .

About fixing it via kernel apps .. I did tried both kernel auditor & ex with no success. Will be glad if someone can confirm this fix .

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
You will need to clean flash.

I tested a dirty flash from from 0807 to 0914 it mostly seemed OK but it had issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
It is logical. I did a factory reset. No diifference. Same issue with Netflix.

I leave it as it is. Netflix is mainly for our TV at home.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
In stead of factory reset, wipe the partitions manually (as mentioned in the OP). It makes difference.

I searched what I think was all posts from that user (glockman) and didn't find a link to a video to remove encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] H4X0R46:
NICE! I'll flash it and report back here, any news about WiFi calling working?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Yahoo1:
It is this one:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Is this a DD, I don't think in the long run you will be happy with the performance on a dirty flash from O To P.

If this is a wifi phone you might be ok.

Hope this helps ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Agree. I've started Netflix to confirm an other post.

The dirty flash O -> P was to avoid the hassle of reactivating some apps.

My battery life is in the toilet. Doesn't look good. Going back to Oreo.

I am getting good battery performance on Pie. Maybe I would say little bit lower as compared to Oreo but I am fine that considering my Shamu is on Latest Pie ROM.

Thanks again to Nitin.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cypresshill555:
The battery holds the charge perfectly. 116 applications have been installed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] thegrim11:
What app do you you recommend to change the kernel setting to conservative?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Added in second post.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cypresshill555:
Thanks for the work you've done. Everything works fine, there are no problems. Installed 125 applications and micro gapps.

The battery holds about 4.5 hours of screen. The brightness is a little small, but I hope to fix it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
do that but even better is to learn about what impacts your battery life most:

- kernel without bug 10% max +/-

- rom witthout relevant bug 10% max +/-

80-90% userspace, that's YOU the user.

as it happens most users get normal, i get even very good battery life >8h SOT full brightness+HBM 0.6-0.8%/h over night

hence it's definitely your setup because if it were rom or kernel nobody could achieve decent battery life.

two links to:

a) meake you understand : http://elementalx.org/the-truth-about-kernels-and-battery-life/

b) tell you how to find the culprit after an issue persists, first try easier steps of course : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62192068&postcount=4059

Can you share your setup? Have you tweaked the kernel since flash?

[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I also have really good battery life on Pie... Not as efficient as Oreo yet but real good considering we are still in beta on Pie and there are no kernels available as of yet.

We need to be patient and let the Dev's work through this.

If you are having battery problems my guess it's something to do with your installation or your setup.

All I have done is change kernel governor to conservative via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Completely wiped. Didn't make difference.

Netflix only plays trailers no movies or download.

Clean flash Pie September with opengapps pico.

Netflix stops at the download animation.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jolinnard:
If you flashed Magisk is possible that 1 process is eating 25% CPU all the time... I personally had this issue at boot, but I can kill that process with the app: 3C Process Monitor. Look for magiskd process and kill it. Then all is fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Tested again... Latest Netflix works perfect, no issues to report
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Thx. I can't get it to work. And just restored my data partition.

For me it's no problem, but I am curious.

I'll wait for the next version. And try again.

In the meantime I'll uninstall all unused stuff we don't need here in the EU and try other gapps

Can you post here the gapps you installed?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I never ever restore data or apps, it takes less than time to start fresh.

I always re-download from the play store my apps and log in.

I am using

open_gapps-arm-9.0-nano-20180914
[Nexus 6 Android Development] elliot2112:
You wouldn't by chance have the TRACFONE.VZWENTP file?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Wiped everything except sdcard.

Flashed ROM and opengapps nano.

Did not copy backups, pure clean.

Netflix didn't show up in the play store.

Flashed magisk 17.1 - safety net passed.

After 20 min. Netflix shows up in play store.

Netflix installed. Same issue, only trailers will play, movies are stuck at the download

animation and doesn't start playing.

Can't do more..... [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] followed exactly the method in op. Can't figure it out . . .

Everything works except Netflix.

No VPN or proxy installed.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
All this discussion about wiping. I think most have said the best way is to choose format data in twrp. Caution, this will wipe the storage. You will need your files saved somewhere other than the phone and tranfer them back to storage after formatting. I tried dirty flash. Wasn't good for me. Format, clean flash, and it's all good.

Use Nexus Root Toolkit, and "Flash stock and unroot". Check the box that says "No force encrypt" and you're good to go.

Nice upgrade solid rom exactly what us geeky people live for :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Where is this equalizer in the settings?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Wipe=format. Trailers will play movies not. So probably is has to do with codecs or the use of decrypted phones. Or the Netflix app. It is pay more view less here compared with the US.

But you have a point, the sdcard is not reformatted, since the decryption years ago. It's the only thing I didn't do recently.

Hard to believe that it will solve the issue, but I'll give it try......
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
The shamu that I have on Nitrogen OS 0914 that the latest Netflix works on has not been formated since 2014
[Nexus 6 Android Development] H4X0R46:
So I flashed the latest Nitrogen build finally, I've been so busy with life but found the time! Camera needed one reboot and it was fine, data works!!! Only thing is WiFi calling, but I realize that's hard to fix, few carriers really use it. I saw someone say battery life was bad, but I don't see it. The battery life for me is great! Thanks Nitin!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Well the Netflix issue is solved by installing a module in Magisk called liboemcrypto disabler.

Happy I found a solution, although I hardly use this app. Just curious. .]

Formatting not needed. I've installed a module in Magisk.

Liboemcrypto disabler.

Brightness Slider in Status Bar

Took the Pie plunge yesterday - formatted to remove encryption, did the ROM flash, then inside TWRP, installed Titanium Pro backup zipped file, this unfortunately copied all apps somewhere it seems (still looking), but not where they could be read - had to reinstall everything (hours...). Next time will copy full apps backup into new Titanium folder....

A few Oreo apps seem not compatible-my "WiFi manager" cannot start scans and says it "may have a problem", but in general pretty solid and no major problems. WiFi, phone, 3 browsers, media via VLC, Skype, Whatspp, Hangouts etc. all working exactly as they should. No tweaking needed. We will see about battery life - no great difference either way so far.

Nitin -Fabulous effort, all very fluid, and a huge thanks for all the hard work.

One request - maybe I can't find it, but the Oreo builds had a brightness slider option where you could tick a box and have it always on top of the status bar. Much more convenient than pulling it down. Now using the old Display Brightness app, but not ideal. Xposed options months away if then. If the slider option it is buried somewhere in Pie, could someone let me know, Otherwise, could you kindly consider adding this feature-super useful, saves time, battery, better than autobrightness, let's you see effect immediately etc. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I dont believe that is correct. There are two different options in twrp. Wipe deletes contents. Format refomats the phone and removes encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Could be. I saw the message 'Formatting...' when I wiped the partitions manually. In TWRP wipe is the only option. I think it's a quick format... only the allocation tables are cleared.

Edit: the button DATA FORMAT is a full format in my view.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lolerinc:
Visual Voicemail isn't working with project fi. Everything else is working smoothly so far.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure. All I am sure about is the three options. Partial wipe, full wipe, and format. The members here earlier stated that the format option was required to remove encryption and the password prompt. This was the issue that many here encountered including myself. I'm repeating this info just in case new people are viewing the thread.

Please help, I've spent hours trying to setup something that seems like it would be easy and just can't seem to do it. Wondering if I'm struggling due to this specific rom or pie or?

I would like the clock screen saver to come on and stay on when I charge my phone (via a wireless charger if that matters).

Current settings are:

Settings>Display>Sleep:15 seconds

Settings>Display>Screen Saver: Clock

Settings>Display>Screen Saver: While charging or docked

Settings>Display>Ambient display: All off

Settings>System>Advanced>Developer options>Stay awake: off

Settings>Personalization>Miscellaneous>Wake up on charge: on

I have tried various on/off combinations with these settings:

Settings>Display>Ambient display

Settings>System>Advanced>Developer options>Stay awake

Settings>Personalization>Miscellaneous>Wake up on charge

I just can't seem to get the desired result of the clock screen saver staying on while charging.

I'm having trouble with something on the 9.14.18 build. I did a full format flash with the latest twrp recovery. My total wireless Sim card (Verizon) won't get data at all. It won't let me add a new apn. Everything is grayed out and won't let me edit any of the settings. Is there anything I can edit with root on there to get it to work.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
I had the same problem with xfinty mobile which runs off Verizon

Heres the solution I found took days of searching to find it

APN setting are stored below link in the telephony.db file you need to save a working copy of your telephony.db file from a previous rom and overwrite it into the 9.14.18 rom works great for me when all else fails

Also make sure before you copy the file over from the previous working rom to confirm which apn is checked and working so you can make sure the same apn is selected after you copy it over

Been using this for two days now, and I have to say it's really good.

Battery life on par with what I got from Oreo. I ran it through it's paces yesterday for stability, and had zero issues. No reboots or anything.

Oh my god lol. So I finally "gave up" and decided I'd just download tasker because I can probably accomplish said goal through tasker. About 1 minute after installing tasker everything works as intended; I probably spent about 8 hours trying to get it to work without extra apps! I didn't need to use secure settings which is nice because 1 of my annoyances with tasker is I feel you need a million different tasker modules to actually do anything with tasker ha.

Right after getting it working with tasker I check to see if anyone had a fix and I see your response. Sorta funny, thank you for your input ^_^
