Not sure what happened with your install. I did a wipe and clean install with magisk 16 and wifi is fully functional.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] soopernerdy:
Yeah I'm not sure either. I've tried out a few other 8.1 roms and nothings hitting the spot quite like this one. That said, going to give it another go and figure out whats up with the wifi.

**Update**

Did a clean install of the ROM/Gapps/Magisk all at once and everything seems to be working fine. I have no clue what happened but I'm pretty stoked there's not been any issues as of yet.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I've had problems after installing Magisk after the initial boot. Someone told me to install the OS, gapps, then Magisk, then reboot. Thats what I've been doing for a long time now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] soopernerdy:
I sadly had to go back to a rooted stock rom, for some odd reason when i tried to play video via netflix the phone would just reboot. Maybe it's something I did or perhaps there is an underlying bug with something. If this ends up being fixed I'll probably reflash Nitrogen but it seems I am stuck on stock 7.1.1 for the time being.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Latest Nitrogen OS installed, rooted with Magisk version 16.4 Netflix latest version 6.7.1 works perfectly as it should, no issues to report.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
You may flash Nitro - Gapps - Magisk. 16.7 and .....profit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I set up Google pay today. I have Nitro, mini gapps, and magisk. It worked perfectly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] soopernerdy:
Would installing busybox do anything because I reflashed nitrogen, gapps, magisk 16.7, installed netflix and it played for a bit without issue. Installed busybox and turned on netflix, it played a few seconds and rebooted...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Since Oreo, I didn't install BB and didn't miss it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
when i do a voice call in whatsapp, the voice of others is so loud everyone can hear it, even at lowest volume. i think its using the loudspeaker, privacy is busted lol.

anyone else facing this ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
Yes noticed the same thing but that's not NitrogenOS related. I'm currently running a different rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Thanks to nitin.chobhe. I thought lineage would be awesome because of the support, but it's severely lacking. This rom is very responsive and smooth. You obviously put many hours into this rom. Thanks for the hard work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] philosophics:
I've been running this ROM for about 2 weeks now and it's been rock solid up until yesterday.

For some reason, camera and flashlight no longer work. Has anyone else ran into this issue? If so, did you get it fixed?

If something is needed from me, please let me know so I can help fix the issue on this otherwise amazing rom that brought life and performance back to this old device!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Been running it almost from the beginning, no cam or flashlight issue. Flashed nano gapps since day one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xconwayx:
Yes. A reboot fixes it most of the time. I also downloaded an app called kill camera that requires root. My latest problem is my phone won't pop up phone calls. It will vibrate but nothing on the screen. No text messages will come through during this time as well. If I open the phone app its completely blank. Rebooting brings it all back to normal. Still trying to figure out if I am doing something. Did both clean and dirty flash of latest nitrogen with open apps nano.

Edit: I want to clarify I am not blaming the ROM. Just letting you know I have similar issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] philosophics:
I used the super gapps aroma pack and installed everything except 3-4 things. 3-4 times, reboot does not bring the flashlight back. But my camera is working again.... kinda. Mostly doesn't work when I'm trying to send a pic in messenger.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I'm currently ok. But did have the same issues with lineage Oreo. Both cam and flashlight would not work right.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
After flashing Gapps there could be 2 camera's. Maybe that is the cause of the issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tesla:
Hello.

So, i have just got my hands on a Nexus 6. Stock with root.

Convince me why i should flash this rom plz. :)

And do try to be specific please.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick491:
I'm currently also having this same issue. Used Nano Gapps the first and second times.

I may end up deleting everything off the device, then flash the ROM, latest Nano Gapps, and Magisk. It may be a couple weeks before I get the time to do this..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
Just out of curiosity, why on earth would anyone want to spend their time doing that?

You spent none of your time sharing what you look for in a ROM, or a phone. Or what you've tried and liked, or tried and disliked. Or what you're using now.

I'll try, though; I think you should flash this ROM, for the specific reason that you seem to be curious about it.

Try it, you'll surely see for yourself whether you should or should not have spent your own time flashing.

(BTW - the THANK button is way too close to the REPLY button on XDA Labs...)

Enjoy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tesla:
THANKS for the utter nonsens you gave me here. An answer in true xda spirit for some years now. Thank you.

People like you are all over xda and you bore the **** Out of Me.

If you can't answer a question in the spirit of it's asking, then why answer at all?

You could have answered with passion and joy about how good this Rom is. Why you like it and so on.

Did you do that? Nope, you did not.

And btw.. "tried and liked, or tried and disliked" bla bla bla.. i clearly stated stock with root. What do you want from me about that?? o_0

Anyhow... I now have this Rom installed and i like it a lot. Running a few hours and running good. No bugs yet.

Fun to have an old/new phone to play with. With time i will dive in to the swamp we call kernels, oh the joy. XD

Thank you so much [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I was trying to ignore your post but your reply to one of posts compelled me to write this.

Every user has different needs and expectations from the ROM. There is no better way than to try and experience the ROM. Instead of just asking for opinions or a vague question, try it.

And please be polite (this is for everyone) while posting here on xda.

I surely don't think ignorance is bliss. But like everything else that has survived thousands of years of human evolution, ignorance - like denial, self-delusion, and magical thinking - seems to have its uses - Scott Spencer

[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
Oreo on a device that will never get it, Nexus 6 ROM as sure as it's gonna get, much quicker than stock, increased battery life, improved performance, new life for an old device.

Done.

Hail to the Dev's.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tesla:
Hello. Thank you for this excellent answer. :good:

I asked because sometimes stock is better, sadly. Take my note 3 for an example. I think i tried all Roms for it and ended up with stock and root.

Stock was the best for a stable useful devise. Took me awhile to reconcile with that fact lol.

Cheers m8 :good:

---------- Post added at 05:27 ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 ----------

Hello.

Yes you are right. But that is at the same time a strange way to look at it from my point of view.

Hello good sir, i see you have cooked a Rom.

- Yes i have indeed.

Well how wonderfull.. can you tell me why i should try it?

- Nope, you have to try it and see for yourself my good man.

But...

.....

See? ;)

The answer from JGradyO and the attitude behind it are common here on xda. And only here.

It's like users are waiting for someone to be rude and condensing to.

I don't know why that is. Have been this way for many years now.

Thanks again for this Rom m8.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
anyone has the solution ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I completely understood your question and can't understand the reaction to it. I agree with the other post. Oreo on a N6.

Many features not found on the stock room. My cellular radio works better with this rom, which is the main reason I switched. Stock caused my phone to get hot when charging, this one doesn't. Next song or previous song from volume button when screen is off. Expanded desktop feature. Built in ElementalX kernel. Compatible with Magisk, making life better for me. Meaning no root glitches so far. Smooth , stable and quick. Battery life is way better than stock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tesla:
Hello and thanks for your answer m8 :good:

Yes, that is good reasons indeed.

May i ask if you have some phone specific apps? Like a camera app or other goodies? Changed kernel?

Kernel Adiutor seems to work good.

I'm a complete Nexus 6 noob haha. Got it yesterday.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Running Nitrogen the way it came. I'm using the camera that came with it, so far it's all good. I've added 3 magisk modules. Greenify to hibernate apps, Sony music module because I like it, and YouTube vanced module for ad free YouTube. I recently added Google pay and it works flawlessly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
This rom runs great, but i would like to try the pixel launcher with it, instead of the nova launcher. Can someone please post the zip for that launcher, and any feedback from someone who's tried that combo would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all, and especially nitin and the nitro team for an outstanding rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
You could try to modulate the mic gain with EX Kernel Manager.

Hope this helps ?

This is what i'm getting with Nitrogen Rom and Pixel Launcher 3.6. Is this the norm?:(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Definitely not Nitrogen OS
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
OK, what's the proper procedure to find out what's wrong? Should i do a complete wipe, and install a fresh copy of Nitrogen, followed by a new copy of nano gapps, and then Magisk 16? I can't think of anything else. Some feedback please, thanks.:(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Let the rom settle for a day or two if it persists the dirty flash same OS and wipe dalvik cache.

Just noticed that the flashlight icon on the pulldown menu does not work. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
It works here on mine - I use it pretty frequently. Is the pull down menu part of the launcher that you've been fiddling with?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Tesla:
Strange, it works for me.

It works if you get an app or try it in camera mode?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MiroALG:
shut down your then restar it do it servel time
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
It was the Pixel 3.6 launcher. Switched to the 3.0 version, and the camera and the flashlight are working. One thing that's weird though. Whether i use the launcher 3, or the pixel launcher, there is no camera app. I have to click the power button twice to access the camera. Is there a way to get the camera app on to the phone? Thanks for any help.:o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
The ROM comes with aosp camera. You must have disabled/ uninstalled it.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
You're probably right. IS there any way to get that icon back, without downloading the whole rim again? Sorry for the bother.

---------- Post added at 11:09 ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 ----------

Don't worry about it. I'll just wait for the next update. That should have the camera icon with it. Thanks.:o

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jazzcat81:
I installed this 24 hours ago and my phone has gone unresponsive twice.... won't turn on.

Once it seemed to be off, I plugged it in and it restarted, had 50% power. The second time it appeared to be dead. checked it 30 min later and it was working with plenty of power left.

Any thoughts? other than that it has been working well. would love to get past this issue as it seems to be a good rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
The battery is dying.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jazzcat81:
naww.. was on pure nexus with zero issues. installed this and it happened twice in one day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Fresh install again with no tweaks after full wipe and try.

If issue persists, go back to pure nexus and try.

Either some type of lingering code or the start of battery degradation. Speaking of that, is your battery original that came with your phone?

Had all kind of shutdowns and prob my self until i changed the battery. One thing i can assure you as of now this Rom has no battery reading bug.

Good luck
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
It was my 1st idea. When there were no battery issues, I've a second thought:

You flashed this rom and did not wipe the data partition. The previous rom Pure Nexus is a very different rom. A factory reset is needed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I don't see any other option than changing the battery for all your problems (yes, even the nav bar related looks like relate to the display issue that you described). As you are anyways sending it for repair, I would say complain them about the issue (and if they as you to get the battery replaced, get that done too).

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mattia315090:
Thank you for your reply!

About the nav bar: I'm sure it is a bug because it didn't happen with DU or lineage os.

Anyway, if it doesn't happen to you, I must have messed up with something during the flash and another fresh install of the rom should fix it for sure.

Thank you again for your time, I must admit that I wrote very (too) much in the previous posts :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Didn't happen with current build...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NGOwner:
I've also had problems with the AOSP camera on this ROM. Each time after a clean install, the camera won't work. The flashlight won't work. If I try to install another camera on the ROM it won't work either. Says the camera is in use by another application. The best advice I found was:

Install that. Kill the process. Install another camera app (I prefer Opencamera. It uses the Camera2.api in Oreo and is a really, really full featured camera.) Profit.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
Been on Nitro for 2 weeks now. Zero issues so far. But, I did clean flash. Wiped all but storage. Nice and smooth.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
Question about the phone app for this ROM.

In most cases (and this ROM is the same) when BT is connected, the phone app will say "call from... " And read the number over BT. I use Tasker to identify the caller over BT from my contact list. Instead of saying "call from (number)" it said "call from (contact name)" provided the number is in my contact list. I can't seem to figure out how to silence the BT phone notification so Tasker an do it's thing.

I could do it with the stock dialer and I have been playing around with the notification menu but no luck.

Anyone have an educated guess?

As always, hail to the Dev's,

Cheer's
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Nitrogen uses aosp dialer. What happens with Google dialer?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
Google dialer causes some type of conflict with the AOSP dialer - not able to receive calls. When I disable the AOSP dialer, voicemail does not work properly. Haven't fully tested the Google dialer because of that fact.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Did you set it as default phone app?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
That is a great question and I am not sure. I will try again, verify default dialer, and report back in a couple days

[Nexus 6 Android Development] fahadahmed11:
I haven't posted anything on xda till date. This is my first post so here goes.

I was hesitant in rooting my nexus 6 and installing a ROM as I didn't have favourable experiences when I first rooted my Sony Xperia Arc S. Instead I tried and tested with improving my Shamu's performance just by flashing different kernels for varied periods of time and reviewing the results. After almost a year of just playing with the kernels, I decided that with Android P around the corner, it would be wise to try and get an Oreo ROM on this phone to see all the features & benefits that I was missing out on. I spent quite a while deciding on which ROM to try out and tried to read as many of the comments & pages.

In the end, I decided to go with Nitrogen OS. What convinced me in choosing this ROM is that no matter what the issue reportedly faced by a user, there is someone who is ready to suggest a fix/method for it. Most of the issues have already been taken care of in the testing phase and others which are reported have been discussed and solutions have been advised for trial and execution. If something does come along then Nitin and the team do respond with their suggestions/instructions asking for a feedback.

Having 874 pages of discussed comments is a lot of content to browse through and like Nitin says, if you know where the search button is, it is relatively easy to find an answer for an issue one is facing. I did not find any other Oreo ROM for Shamu which has been discussed as such.

I would like really like to thank the entire team who put their effort into making such a custom ROM which endears to the Shamu community while taking into consideration all their needs. I appreciate that the developer team is always following up with their suggestions and fixes for any problems that arise. It is a very trying and testing job to commit to such an endeavour and I thank and applaud you for doing so.

I am using this ROM since a week and so far I am loving it. Glad to have chosen Nitrogen OS and hope that you guys have all the success moving forward.

i miss HDR+, panorama and other stuff from my old camera in nougat, can anyone tell me is there any way or any flashable camera zip to bring those settings back ?

Hi All,

Got the battery of my shamu changed and now running Lineage 15.1. I was earlier on Nitrogen then have my phone to a friend so didn't update the phone for 2 years. But now i am back, Does Nitrogen support Substratum? 767 pages is quite a lot to read and I m currently reading it. But a help would be fine also What's the SOT you guys are getting on Nitrogen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
yes it supports substratum. and for the battery question , i have yet to get my n6 battery replaced to new one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
I think this is the last version of Google Camera for 32 bit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Abhimanyu.2004:
Okay Guys !! This ROM is crazy crazy good. It just blows off Lineage OS out of water. Amazing performance and crazy smooth, packed with features. Hats off to you Nitin !! You are amazing. Please continue the good work for Shamu.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Fred Simm:
I've searched, but can't find the answers. When Nitrogen updates are released, can you dirty flash, or is clean flash required? I did notice an update section in the settings. Can it be auto updated like lineage os?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sonvolt99:
Dirty flash is fine, for updates
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mattia315090:
Yes, it does. It has a better support for it than Lineage in my opinion, as I've tried both. Moreover I find Nitrogen more stable, as with Lineage I had problems with the screen that with many notifications didn't turn on or it turned on after much time.

About the SOT: I can't answer about it because I have a very bad battery, if I arrive to two hours of SOT I have to go to Jesus and say thanks while washing his dishes after cooking him.

Anyway, for what I can say it doesn't have strange battery drains or stuff like that, everything works great.

I'm on nitrogen_shamu_8.1.0_OPM4.121019.021.R1 and had heat buildup problems, display was burning.. solved mounting popcorn kernel version 7.3.1 20180425. To make it work super smooth you have to change governor from "interactive" to "on demand" using kernel auditor mod (as suggested by kernel developer).

After trying AOSiP and PureNexus, both with different kernels, my feeling is that nitogen+popcorn is best so far (2 days).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Your post implies that the default kernel caused heat.

On my N6 there is no heat up with the default kernel (inc. default settings).

Did you change the default kernel settings?

Same here. No heat with default kernel.
