Hi, finally I upgraded to pie ... This rom is great with popcorn kernel . I had no bug since yesterday , but sadly Android versions upgrade always take out some features.

One of the great loses at least for me is the option in dialer settings ,to activate automatic loudspeaker switch when you take the phone away from the ear.

Is it possible in any way to port it to pie? I tried with Tasker on nougat , but it's not the same as the integrated feature in resurrection remix marshamllow dialer.

I think this feature should be present in every smartphone in every stock rom ... Even the nokia 7650 had this
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Reporting in. No issues so far. Smooth as glass. It won't wash the dishes or do the laundry. Maybe it will in the next build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dernz:
You're right. The September build is smoother. I realized it from the get go. I dirty flashed

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

It's a bit laggy for me too...not a huge deal but it's noticeable. Didn't notice that in the September 14th Build.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hankfrennig:
decrypted etc for original install of this ROM upon release, no issues besides not getting TWRP BnC Atmos+Viper to take and occasional (and undetermined) GPS drops.

dirty TWRP flashed update 10/05 a couple days ago as follows:

manual Dalvik/cache wipe, ROM update package, mini GApps reflash, Magisk 17.1, Dalvik/cache wipe, reboot. ZERO real issues as of yet

-radio etc as image attached

-had issues with QS transparency (weird gradient black-white frame behind rounded edges), no longer present with update as pictured

-still cannot get TWRP BnC Atmos+Viper to take, though Magisk Viper module works just fine (better than nothing, though Atmos tweaks on car stereo still blow my mind; awaiting eventual success)

-Google Project Fi as carrier with FiSwitch works great on both T-Mobile and Sprint high speed (4G equivalent) OTA

-battery life is doing fine on stock kernel, unwilling to swing on over to Popcorn as screen off power-hold flashlight gesture became broken upon initial attempt

this ROM is incredible, it makes my breakfast taste better and my beer more hoppy
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
even though i would not want to revert back since the latest build is definitely much better than the previous one, i still want to confirm your findings.

i have no issues with that but it's true that everything is a bit slower and twice the device took some length to wake up after several hours of idling.

what i've seen in the kernel settings looks normal and deeper i wouldn't dig and play with a generally well working setup. just reporting as you did to make clear that it's not placebo or imagination.

as far as i know the LOS kernel is in use and that might improve over time, let's hope.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dernz:
Yes. I'm sticking with it. It's no big deal to me. This is the best pie rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Nice try but not happening took the working apns-conf from the previous Nitrogen and didn't do jack

any other suggestions ?

Thanks Nitin for awesome Pie!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] H4X0R46:
Not getting calls on the 10-5 build. Had to restore a TWRP backup of the September build. Even changing to LTE/WCDMA didn't work. Just a heads up [MENTION=6175226]nitin.[/MENTION]chobe
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Whos your mobile service with ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
calls incoming normally here,

as a little aside, those settings have no impact on calls anyways, just on mobile data or voip calls on mobile data accordingly.

on exception would be if set to LTE only and Voice over LTE doesn't work but i'm using the lowest possible radio because as many forget, LTE is a battery hog and 2G is a batter saver, hence it's a good idea to use 3G and activate LTE only manually. in most cases LTE has not benefit because 3G at it's highest speed usually is fast enough to cope with the actual bottlenecks, means only when both sides can cope with highest speeds, bandwith is pentifully available and not bottlenecks hinder the full flow, would LTE be significantly faster in daily life, but consume significantly more battery.

i'm mostly smiling when i see folks talk and complain about battery life, having SOT way below 5-6 hours, and then each screenhots shows LTE, often with week signals.

as it happens LTE signals are mostly weeker which ads to the battery consumption, thought to take the opportunity to hint into that direction since we're already talking radio stuff.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Wizkid:
I can confirm same issue.

After I changed from LTE to 3G, I can receive calls but I am stuck on 4G - no more LTE... Any help?

I am on TMobile. Thanks!

Nova launcher + companion
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
post above yours has been edited, read the part about radios / LTE and battery consumption, perhaps you'll after all be glad this happened ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Wizkid:
Outgoing calls work on LTE but incoming don't.

Have not seen WiFi calling working either...

Other than network issues....really smooth ROM!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] papikev:
I had the same issue on the latest build. I didn't even realize it until people started telling me that they had been calling. Seems weird, but what got it working for me was to make a call and then after that, I started receiving calls again. I am on T-Mobile.

Just wondering if anyone else here is running on Xfinity Mobile ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sonvolt99:
Hi Nitin, any news on progress (if any) on this rom working with encryption, getting keen to try but don't want to decrypt so still on your oreo version
[Nexus 6 Android Development] H4X0R46:
T-Mobile as well here!

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Yeah I woke up today and thought "NOBODY called me while I was asleep?" Then tried calling myself with the house phone. No ring lol I just restored a backup of the September build, it's working fine! I'll probably wait it out until another build shows up, be it in a couple days or next month.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What's your setup?

Can you clean flash JUST the rom zip (& nothing else) and check the calls?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] eocobby721:
I'm on T-mobile too and mostly get ma calls except sometimes in house. :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
OK Nitin I did the a skip setup clean install didn't fix it still getting the No Sim - No Service on reboot

if you can point me to the version of Dirty Unicorns you want me install I'll test it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Skipping setup was not for you. It was for the guy who was having issues to connect to Google servers as he was in China.

I don't own shamu so don't have links of the ROMs. Check their G+ community and you should get the links.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bigmarv31:
Why dont all of you guys chill out and give Nitin a break and the credit that he deserves,1st of all he blind builds which means he doesnt have a shamu,2nd of all he really doesnt have to build anything for us but he does and we should be grateful for that,and 3rd of all we are lucky to have a 9.0 rom that in my opinion is stable enough to be a DD and Nitin did a great job on this rom,so stop complaining and whining its not going to be perfect because if it was then we would of gotten an oreo update as well as a pie update from Google, Thanks for Everything Nitin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been holding out on updating from 7.1.2 till today.

I bit the bullet and decrypted my phone, updated TWRP to the latest and flashed the latest you linked in along with pico gapps. Fully clean install without restoring Google through setup.

I have got to say it's playing silky smooth on my Shamu. Cellular on AT&T working great. The only change I did was downloaded Google's dialer, contacts, and messaging and disabled the stock versions.

I am not expecting a spectacular battery life on this due to the fact my device is almost 3 years old with continuous use. I still get a full day still without needing a charge so that is all I expect.

Thanks for keeping this device alive in the open source world.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sanumaj:
First of all Nitin, hats off on an awesome ROM. Buttery smooth and awesome battery on stock kernel. You sir are a blessing to our community.

Minor issues with installing Magisk. TWRP flashing the uninstaller and latest stable version fixed it. Face-all ZIP fixed the face unlock.

I had issues with the dialer not being able to render /receive calls on ATT. Had to fix the permissions for the phone app and restart and now all works as expected
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Thank you [MENTION=3628308]bigmarv31[/MENTION] ???

It's almost like no one wants to experiment they just want answers or feel like [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] is there personal IT guy.

Nitin has a Family and a job, so he builds shamu and other builds in his spare time.

All of us need to be extremely Thankful for what he does by buying him a coffee and his kids a ice cream.

Thanks for Everything Nitin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Battery Saver is not doing anything for me. Can anyone confirm?

It's working for me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Anyone using Xfinity Mobile ?

The data issue looks very common for this carrier: https://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=Xfinity Mobile

[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
But its not doing anything for me.

When i click battery saver , it shows that its activated but it doesnt do anything like reducing brightness, limiting cpu speeds etc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Right the no or not working mobile data issue is a common old ongoing issue related to xfinity Mobile and most all roms not just your rom i can fix that by coping an old working telephony.db over or editing the apns-conf.xml both fix it .

But The No Sim Card - No Service is something new and seems to only be on this rom latest build and I haven't found any fix for it yet
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zzenyoo:
Had that problem too. For me *#*#4636#*#* and setting network type from LTE/UMTS auto (PRL) to LTE/CDMA/UMTS auto (PRL) fix 'No SIM...' problem. Don't ask why, it was lucky shot. Maybe carrier specific, i'm on T-Mobile in Poland.

[Edit] It was changed only once (it reverts after some time), but since than everything is working.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Wow I didn't know they had T-Mobile in Poland :)

I'll play around with those settings in there see if i can find some fix

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RedFodex:
A lot of soft reboots for me. Last build dirty flashed on previous. Will clean flash help?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:

Avoid theming and tweaks until the Rom settles
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
[MENTION=280897]nitin[/MENTION]

This is a very good pie rom, i was testing it and I need to report couple of bugs/issues.

1. Battery saver shows activated when u turn it on or when it reaches the defined limits but it doesnt do anything. No changes to brightness or lowering/limiting cpu speed. Confirmed.

2. In Nitrogen Oreo roms we have the option/slider to set the blinking frequencies of notification led, cant find it in this build.

Clean Flashed Rom.

Testing more as Iam using it everyday.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
This honestly isn't ROM related, and you will need to search XDA for what you need. I use Nova and it does it all

Nitin thanxxx for the awesome work u r doing..a suggestion if u add a simpler or highlights of the updates with the post ( like on page 93) & paste the update post link in OP,that will be helpful us to understand & goto the update post quickly with simple changelog.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
I use latest pixel launcher with wallpaper.apk and set it to change once per day, works so far. Sry, no google photos in use here. May you check if your launcher has all permissions set right. Settings / Apps / "your launcher" take a look to your permissions
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
My pixel launcher doesn't have the possibility to change the wallpaper. Any idea?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
Search for Google Wallpaper in Play Store. Install the app. Reboot phone and see if you are able to change Wallpaper now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Solved, thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
Maybe missing wallpaper.apk

Edit: too late ;)

What about my question regarding the latest Qualcomm drivers?

This is the fastest, most responsive, ROM I have ever used!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] imaGine00:
quick question : can I use current ElementalX or Franco Kernel with this 7.1 rom or do I have to wait a specific kernel release supporting 7.1 android version ? Thank u in advance :)

[Nexus 6 Android Development] George_Bushels:
I'm using ElementalX. Seems to be working fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
elementalx, flash and elite are working nice on this rom for me

franco gives me issues with the superuser root.

I use flash beta kernel with mako fix right now and it works great
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
I couldn't get it to work with Superuser, even when using the fix zip that is available.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
Flash the systemless zip and set the hosttarget to data/data on adaway settings
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NWNJ:
I believe I tried this already, but I will try again this evening. I do like Superuser better. Thank you for the information. I will let you know how it goes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fares70:
I am using Franco kernel 56 and it runs great .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] coremania:
Any special setup? it always breaks root for me

---------- Post added at 15:57 ---------- Previous post was at 15:55 ----------

I got it running like this right now, so it should do the same for you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dRoNe-:
I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or user issue lol. I have Google Messenger installed and I can't get voice-to-text to work. It seems to be grayed out and does nothing when I hit it. I've tried installing the Google app and Google voice search to no avail. Tried Google Keyboard and the microphone doesn't even show up in that app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nixie2121:
There is a new version of adaway that has a "systemless" option so you dont need to flash the systemless zip anymore. You can find it in the adaway thread on XDA.

ALSO

I did a full wipe and clean flash today. I still have the issue that I can not select OK GOOGLE always on. Anyone else with this error? My camera still opens to black, This is a known issue I believe. The ok google is driving me crazy!!!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
There is a solution if you look for it.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] montoya.brandon:
Have a question I'm having trouble with led notification anyone else it's like it wants to work when it wants too????
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i agree except that nobody was in any way offensive, reporting issues is necessary, valid and allowed of course. sorry to say so but:

you are the only one who spoils the party and brought negative energy into an else normal exchange of information so you're the only one who has to chill, we are already cool enough ;)

for those who are interested:

not saying that all of the below is neede or brings something, didn't find the hours to test back an forth, but all below steps reduce the lag "some"

and no negative side-effects were observed till now (all day)

this is what i did to get rid of some of the lag we discussed yeasterday:

a) raise minimum cpu frequency to 422MHz

b) disable mpdecison

c) disable core-control

d) min gpu frequency 300MHz

e) changed i/O scheduler to bfq

f) increased readahead to 4096 (unfortunately fsync could not be disabled, that would double the impovement most probably)

once LOS 16.x is out (if it ever will for this device) i'm sure it will be resolved or we are lucky and get a good custom kernel which under oreo

was not the case IMO, at least not the level of FK and EXK.

share your findings if you like, if anyone has good experience to tune cpu governor and scheduler as far as lags are concerned

please share, i have no time to start fiddling with those but perhaps there is someone who remembers some settings from the past.

Yeah I have to agree. I don't mean to sound demanding or anything, I just try to report my findings to see if anyone else had the same issue, or if it's a known issue.

Adding decryption and formatting info to main thread

I'm here suggesting to add this *essential* information to the main thread, so that it's easily reachable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I've mentioned in BOLD RED letters to decrypt the phone before flashing ROM in OP, there is a video about how to decrypt in the second post.

What more details do you want me to add?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I think they want you to hold their hands while they flash the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
hi folks,

as to the lag thingy i just made a few reboots due to app/theme updates etc. and got the impression that all is very smooth and quite quickly responding immediately after boot.

if i'm not totally mistaken this could hint at a memory leak or similar.

unfortunately i have no experience to play with memory settings which are available, just sharing the observation in case that someone

has some experience to tweak memory settings.

did anyone try the changes i suggested yesterday and is willing to share his observations, i still think that there is some minor improvement

by them.

:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Using Nitro as a DD for a while now. I have no lag, it seems you are using substratum, correct?

You probably tried without it!

Anyway, I can't have lag and don't have any. ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dernz:
Did you dirty flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Yes sir, dirty flashed indeed.

No substratum, no tweaks, good out of the box.

Enabled doubled tap to wake and that's about it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dernz:
Same for me! But I still have some choppiness. It's not a huge deal for me though. It's just noticeable.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
thanks for sharing your observations, of course i have themes running, only that:

- before it was very snappy with the same themes

- i would rather change the rom than go white LOL those are personal prefs of course but

any white hurts my eyes, can't stand it in general, like warm colors, no white neon and no pastel stuff.

so it's good to know that themes currently and apparently slow down the device significantly, certainly this is helpful for some to know.

:highfive:

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

exactly and since some readers tend to forge the start, it was always said that it's no big issue, all is well but as you say, it's noticeable and since it was not like this before one can assume that with a bit of tweaking and trial and error it should be possible to get full snappiness back also with themes installed.

after all theming is almost standard nowadays and it has always cost some speed on deveces pre-SD835, similar to Xposed, it costs some performance always, just with SD835/845 its not noticeable anymore.

all is good but still trying to find ways for improvements, unfortunately custom kernels are sparse but i gonna try one sooner or later, just to see.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Can't stand white either, using all the black background that I can anywhere I can.

Nova launcher helps plus all other apps that have blk background such as, xda lab

You ll get your snappiness back, all is work in progress
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
hi [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]

i got mine back to speed.

to put an end to this OT in this thread and all the "but i" back and forth discussions, i offer anyone who's interested to submit my setup via PM.

you will have to be willing to install a custom kernel and tweak a few parameters that are a bit unusual, GPU and CPU wise and especially voltage wise.

if this still sounds right for you, send me PM and you'll get my setup in return, just give me time to respond, i check rarely for new messages and mostly very late in the day but i promise to reply withing 20 hours.
