hi guys,

i have heard good things about this rom and wanted to give it a go.

just wanted to know is it absolutely fine to keep this rom as a daily driver ?

coming from. rooted 7.1.1 and franco kernel. got no issues with that but i want to see Oreo 8.1 running on my shamu.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
This ROM is very stable and can be used as daily driver. it has builtin EX kernel which is also very good. and some other nifty cherry picked features .

However "Ok Google" off screen functionality is not present and its with all oreo roms for shamu, it works perfectly when your screen is on though. Other then this every thing works! I highly recommend you to try it!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
i will surely try it tomorrow . as it is holiday for me.

and ok google is not my cup of coffee anyways.

thanks.

and yes plz do tell me we have to wipe cache before installation or after ?

like i will boot twrp from fastboot then i will flash the rom and then wipe.cache. thats it ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
yea i suppose. have this rom and recommended gaps in your phone , flash rom, flash gaps, and if you want root flash magisk or su. and then wipe cache and dalvik. you can also wipe cache and dalvik after each installation.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
This room runs great. No problems at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
sorry to bother, actually iam doing homework before going for actual installation. lol

correct me if iam wrong.

i will put this rom and recommended gapps on the phone , boot / flash twrp recovery , flash rom , flash gapps , flash magisk, wipe cache and dalvik. Restart phone.

Fine ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
With any Rom you always wipe Dalvik & Cache. Before or after doesn't really matter.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
ok but the procedure in my mind . is it fine ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
Yes it is.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
No, that's not fine. As you are on 7.1.1, it is must for you to wipe all partitions except internal storage and the start the flashing process. Detailed instructions are in in first post. Please read it.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] slatejones:
fueled....

download rom and nano gapps packages to your phone..

boot to twrp... backup system and data...

wipe system, data, cache... i do this twice...

flash rom and gapps...

wipe dalvick and cache......... reboot...

after reboot, download magisk manager and install, flash magisk...

profit.

hope this helps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
thanks.

glad that OP himself replied me.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
guys something very strange happening.

my sim card worked for like 8 hours fine after installing this rom. but today in the morning i started getting no service msg on it. my sim network is 4g

tried another sim which has 3g network and that is working fine.

and to confirm that 4g sim is faulty or not, i put that sim on another phone and it worked.

help me.

ok its working now.

went into settings - system - reset options - reset wifi, mobile & bluetooth.

not sure why it all happened but iam glad my network is working now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
I thought Substratum is builtin in this rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
I will not, devs leave XDA because of people like him. People think we should hold their hand every step without them even giving a detailed report or trying to find the answer themselves.

oh btw. You said he was already being 'directed', that's true, but still he kept asking the same question (he already got a reply to) can't you see the irony? Them 'already being directed' doesn't help.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jkdrinkard:
It is compatible with this ROM but you will need to install the substratum app.

It works if your carrier provides the service. Check with your carrier to find out if it is available.

2. to use search button at least in the thread

3. to follow etiquettes

[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
Hi, thanks for this amazing rom! I'm using it for two weeks now and didn't have any random reboots or other main problems! Fast, smooth and stable :good::cool:

Just a little thing....I'm using the built-in gallery and every time I want to play a video the app crashes. I did some research but couldn't find something.

I attached the log (hopefully I did it right...first time catching log...). Again, thanks for the rom and especially to the devs who put all their time and effort in it!

Try this:

1. Check the permissions for Gallery, allow all permissions

2. If that doesn't solve your issues, clear app data and see if it works.

Thanks for your answer!

All permissions enabled and cleared app data. Didn't help :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Something related to audio format. Can anyone else test this and report back?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ryanallaire:
Just played 3 videos with built in gallery just fine, audio works too..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
Do you have Sync to DropBox for your photos turned on ? Perhaps have that app too ? If so, please turn that off, reboot and try again.

That's not Gallery Permission on Android, that's IMHO Gallery permission to his Dropbox account.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
I have nothing installed related to Dropbox:confused:

Edit: sry I have. I will check this

Edit2: Only the normal Dropbox app is installed. Nothing related/enabled to syncing photos
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
Can you disable that app, wipe dalvik+Cache and try again ?

I saw someone asked, but it seems no one replied to him. I got "Battery usage data isn't available" too. Is there any solution? I am on 0415 version. Thanks!

Already uninstalled Dropbox and wiped cache+dalvik. Same problem..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Cash you test this? Take nandroid backup in twrp. Clean flash ROM zip and check the gallery app.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
ok my phone has started to turn off randomly when i play Clash Royale or Mafia City. can anyone tell me why is it doing this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
There are two likely reasons:

1. Your battery is nearly dead and can't provide enough current

2. The maintainer changed the settings of the thermal engine. Like it is done here: https://github.com/nitrogen-os-devi...mmit/8daa576adda0ae825e7c75b6bfa3773d55cc3bfa
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
can it be the reason that elementalx kernel is overclocking cpus ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
If elementalx does that as default, yes of cause. Higher clockrates go along with higher current consumption and more heat.

Going beyond the specified limits of a datasheet is never a good idea if you want a reliable and stable system.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
dont know if elementalx kernel does that by default or not, i didnt change or edit anything .

only in games it does that.

so now what must i do to achieve stable gaming ?

change kernel ?

recommend me one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I won't recommend anything as I am the LineageOS Device maintainer for Shamu.

I think any recommandation would be biased. :p
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FReaX908:
I've found the issue. It's not the rom. It is the Ainur Audio Mod. You said something about an audio problem...I uninstalled the mod and the gallery is working fine. Installing the mod again and the gallery crashes. I will ask in the Ainur thread.

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION] Thank you very much for your time and help:good::good:

Now Google or who ever has to fix the problems with smart Lock trusted locations and everything is fine:cool:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mo2002:
Would flashing the latest radio possibly correct not having any sound during calls? Currently whether I use the dialer or hangouts dialer, there's no sound unless using Bluetooth.

I've currently already attempted flashing a previous version of ElementalX but that caused a soft brick.

Wiping and dirty flashing did nothing either.

Also checked to see if the speakers were malfunctioning but they work just fine with music apps and listening to voicemail (through visual voicemail app).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
ok just tested . it's happening when phone goes below 50% or 40%.

still waiting for help.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mal_de:
This has probably posted somewhere in the last 800 pages but I wanted to report that I successfully installed Nitrogen OS on my encrypted Nexus 6 with PIN to start phone.

There is that big red warning on page 1 that had me wary but it worked a treat. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rushier.ivan:
You really need a new battery. I changed my battery anf flashed his rom and everything is perfect. No more crashes & shutdowns.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
it worked fine when I was on 7.1.1 and franco kernel.

any other kernel that i can try on this rom ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
Most probably, flashing Radio won't solve for this problem but it sure would help in other areas. Having latest modem/radio is always beneficial since latest blobs/propitiatory files presume you have latest. A symptom there would be call drops when switching towers, if you have that kind of problem.

Will you please be kind and elaborate on your Point 2 ? Are you saying that the commit should be reverted or is causing that abrupt shutdown ?

[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] No disrespect to you, but I also respect what Elektroschmock has to say.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
iam also reading and reading on that since he said that
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I have not modified anything related to thermal stuff.

[MENTION=2865388]fueled[/MENTION] I don't know what you mean by "reading and reading"; I have seen you posts and couldn't find anything but only questions (which are already answered in the threads).

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
I know and I saw that. What Electroschmuk's pointing out is a shared proprietary blobs for Moto and not your's exclusive. (I suspect you only get to control Device tree as a DM in a shared repo) Hence I wanted to understand where he's coming from.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
no i meant iam reading and finding solution on other forums and etc about it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Thermal limits are there for a reason and not to annoy users. First of all they prevent extreme temperatures which could cause faster aging of the battery or the well known bootloops on Nexus 5x and Nexus 6p.

Those were just cracked solder joints because of thermal tensions.

https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...a32f4b2#diff-10b5c31c7c723b3b70531953a0b54b13

Every CPU has a frequency - voltage table which says which voltage you need for a specific frequency to operate error free.

Of cause oems don't specify the absolut limit in this table, there is always some safe margin.

If you leave this margins your cpu might just crash.

If you overclock your cpus you will need a higher voltage and more current for you cpu.

Your phone will also run hotter.

The older and hotter a battery is, the less current you're able to pull from it without a voltage drop.

If you now combine overclocking, disabled BCL and relaxed thermal limits the voltage might drop below the voltage the cpu needs to operate which leads to a brownout and a subsequent crash.

On some CPU, Battery combinations it might work, but you can't get a stable system for all users.

This is the reason why I will never overclock or mess with the thermal limits unless it'S abolutly needed.

I don't want to be responsible for dead batteries, fried cpus or lost data.

But every user has the right to choose the ROM he likes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
Very qualitative answer and enlightening answer for the users, thank you.

I know Flar and his philosophy. ElementalX Kernel or the Governor by the same name DO NOT Overclock by default. [MENTION=2865388]fueled[/MENTION] is either misinformed or perhaps did not understand the question. According to KA-Mod, BCL is enabled out of box in the ElementalX in this Rom. Now if the user chooses to turn it off, it's their funeral.

So, [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] the original question of the battery forced abrupt shutdown remains open. If it's not OC or BCL, And assuming the battery isn't dying, would this commit alone be responsible ?

Nitin has clearly stated he uses the kernel code as is with credits. However, I genuinely doubt he as a DM has any control over the blob commits. [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] do please comment or correct me as you see fit.Kindly understand that the point here is not to state that you made that modification in any way. This is more of a discussion on merits of certain changes and have an honest dialog. As the OP, you still retain the right to state that this discussion is OT in the thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Sorry I din't want to blame nitin, when I said he did modifications. I don't know how NitrogenOS team works. But at least I think he should have control over the binaries as they are a vital part of a ROM.

I didn't look too deep into flar2's code but on a firt glance it looks like he disabled BCL

https://github.com/flar2/shamu/comm...a576cb6#diff-fe69fd0a878b10d190c924b2398bad9c
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
As [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION] mentioned I'm using flar's EX kernel as it is - Not a single modification... And I think he is a better judge of this stuff than me. Given the fact that users are able to flash/ tweak the kernel that they want, I would not like to tweak EX.

[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] I've control over device related stuff and I can also suggest/make changes in the ROM.

tried this. boot into bootloader, scroll down to bootloader logs, long pressed power button cleared the logs.

now this was done @68% battery and when phone rebooted into OS its showing me 86% battery and wrong date and time (which was auto corrected upon wifi connection) .

now i will charge the battery to 100% and see the results.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] taranvohra:
Two questions,

1. If I use this ROM without root, would apps like Google Tez etc that uses safetynet work fine?

2. Does Indian carrier VoLTE work? I am on airtel that uses both 1800 and 2300 to deploy its 4G services so was wondering if it would work?

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
1. Yes

2. You will have to try and see if it works.

I flashed this and I'm very happy with the rom but my phone settings say that I'm encrypted. I have to reboot my phone at least once a day to keep things from slowing down to a grind and people say that the encryption could be the cause of this. I thought this rom (and ElementalX Kernel) didn't force encrypt?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mo2002:
Yea I figured out it's Oreo kernel related. I installed LOS and a AOKP ROM and it was still there. Then I flashed a Nougat ROM and the problem went away. I'll just deal with it and hope for Android P support.

Thanks anyways.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Cypresshill555:
All problems with shutdown are associated with a bad battery. At me as it was turned off at loads. It was only the replacement of the battery that helped. Now there are no shutdowns even with a high load on the battery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
can u tell me why it is only happening in 8.1 ? never ever happened in 7.1.1 rooted franco kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
May be better to stay on 7.1.1 then???

Just to tell you, if you haven't noticed - You are comparing 2 totally different versions of the Android.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Key word is force. If you are not encrypted, you stay that way. Default by Google and LOS is to encrypt of you are not.

If you were encrypted before, you will also stay encrypted. There are guides on the general section on how to remove encryption, but it cannot be done by flashing a ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] herecomedatboi:
Thanks for the reply. I guess I must've been encrypted by flashing another rom before moving to Nitrogen. When the next build is uploaded I'll do a clean flash and make sure I unencrypt. I might be moving to the Onplus 6 anyway but if unencrypting makes a big difference, I might be able to wait until the new Pixels arrive like I was going to do originally. (But the slow N6 annoyed me).
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Perseus:
I truly do think that it is a coincidence that the battery problem starting and switch over to Oreo. You can either restore a Nandroid if you have one or reflash 7.1.1 builds to see if that helps.

Alternatively, you can review the thread for Better Battery Stats App and especially Steps in Post 2 for pulling an Idle Log. Once such a log in obtained, you can post in that thread and several of the experts there would help you identify the root cause of the battery drain.

No they do not. But if your internal storage was already encrypted then this won't Decrypt it. You will have to back up all data to pc, format internal storage and then reflash and restore.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Just installed this after being on Google stock 7.1.1 for the longest time (since their last update). ROM seems great so far. Only thing that annoys me is that in some apps the nav bar is black, and others it's white. Any ideas on how to make it stay the same color in everything (for example, in WhatsApp and Dropbox the bar is black, in a lot of others it's white)?

EDIT: After reading around, this seems to be Google's doing on it's newer apps..........****.....boo.

Also, double tap to wake in Kernal Adiutor will not save my settings on turning it on to either full or half screen. It goes back to disabled every time I go to a different menu or close the app. Root access is working, and completely fresh install of this ROM. Worked by installing the Nexus 6 double tap to wake app, though.
