[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
yep the app has problems have encountered and observed that several times and you may have a point, i just didn't consider this the culprit for two reasons:

- i use the app for many years (doesn't mean much i know after API upgrades)

- the reboots happend before i re-installed it while testing an 8.1 LOS ROM that was enforcing and kept it again.

however it is i'm going to uninstall the app and see how it goes and/or what's going to change

thanks for pointing at this so that i now pay due attention to this know but neglect issue/app

:highfive:

EDIT: uninstalled and rebooted the device to keep it clean from residues (caches etc.) let's see ;)

perhaps it's worth to mention that i use the app on OP6 stock rooted with the identical setup and no issues at all and that OS comes Enforded which is why i use the app since it applies on boot, other than

having to terminal upon each boot, i shall consider a tasker script instead ;)

My battery troubles me. At some time the Nexus 6 shuts down.

If I restart remains ca 30%.

This occurs at least three times a day.

Anyone else?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Dud battery. Time to change it. I bought a new one but haven't screwed up the nerve or enthusiasm to install it. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] McMannes:
Dear friends can u advice an original battery? Where can i found? İ found some batteries who sellers say it is original but i wasnt sure
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
After all this time you don't know whom to trust. Just look for a seller with a good approval rating.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
According to Reddit the battery to get is Akku Polarcell, directly from their manufacturer. Apparently they are the only Nexus 6 batteries being newly manufactured in 2018. Some users had ones created in April 2018. Something you might want to research more on.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] runekock:
I bought a Polarcell battery back in spring, but it only lasted half a year. Now I've got a noname China battery, and it has been better so far - and a lot cheaper.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Axel85:
My new battery is an original one, since the change I had no reboots, crashes or problems going down till 1% . Battery came performed and with the flex bent in the right position with 40% charge inside ( this is important with old batteries) . I bought it on ebay germany and the seller sold 130 pcs so should be a trusted source . I couldn't find the manufacturing date on the battery but I don't mind since it's perfect till now and if stocked with charge and in the right way there should be no difference with a new one . The new battery has writings in a smaller font compared to the original , but if I have to compare them the old one is the one that seems fake since the writings are low quality there ( it's original for sure because the phone is refurbished from google) . With the new battery I can reach 4 hours sot with an intensive working use compared to about 2.5 or 3 hours of the old one

I can give you the object number , but I can't post the link since xda filter it even in pm

Here it is : 201990676146 the seller's name is ti-trade

AND GUYS REMEMBER TO CALIBRATE THE NEW BATTERY. mine lasted 1 hour at 1% the first time . So I run it till the shoutdown, charged it with phone turned off and then reset the battery stats from bootloader. Apparently looking on internet the correct way is:

Go to bootloader logs and press the power button till the phone turns off ( someone told to push the power button one time and then keep it pushed till the phone turns off , I tried both methods the first 2 times I charged the new battery)

Don't use this technic many times because I read that you can use it only 3 times before the battery ic go to protected mode and the battery won't last as expected ( don't know if true)

Give the battery 3 or 4 full charges from 0% before run to the conclusion it's not good

Today I'm at 2h 44 minutes of screen with 45% left

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm a technician and I want to share my experience with batteries. After many years of battery changes for my customers I run to the conclusion that I have to buy only original batteries from official suppliers . There are many fake batteries around , even perfectly made and 99% the times alternative brands of batteries even reliable ones like polarcell , seidio ecc use low quality cells that doesn't last like original ones . The only brand of batteries that I trust is ifixit for iphone devices , because is the only brand that never gave me a problem and is on par with the original ( for iphones you are forced to go with third party because there are no original ones even if the seller assure you they're 100% originals) .

For nexus 6 we have no choice instead to trust a seller on ebay . My official motorola parts supplier told me motorola has no more a line to produce nexus 6 batteries so there's no original one made in 2018 . So trust the ebay seller and pay with paypal so if you have any problem they're forced to fix it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdbull:
Are the LED notifications functional in the 20181112 build? I see some posts referencing the LED notifications in the Personalization -> Notifications -> Notification light section, but I don't have any options in there. It justs lists apps with an on/off toggle. Clicking into an app doesn't give any further options to do anything with the LED notification. The only LED I get is the charging notification. I've dirty flashed 3 times now as some mentioned they got it back after that, but still no luck. Any other ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Have you actually tried searching the thread for "led"?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdbull:
Yes, as I referenced a couple things I already found in the thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
No, LED notifications are not working in the latest builds with the exception being the charging LED.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdbull:
Thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
I had my battery replaced at Batteries Plus, a nationwide chain store here in the US back in February and it is still going strong. It was a little expensive with labor to have it replaced but I couldn't be happier with the results.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
that is a very useful, absoltuely correct and very important piece of information, it's not easy to find good and not totally old batteries for shamu nowadays, i had 4 in total till i found the right source which you mentioned.

:highfive:

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 PM ----------

they are working perfectly well when using the right apps, saying that they're not working can be misleading because it could imply for some newcomers that LEDs don't work on this rom but of course they do, just not system settings wise.

my lights work like they always did with lightflow download from dev-site + root + mixer in direct mode.

if someone is interested i can send my backup file to import, it's easier to go from a perfecty working setup and make changes to it than to setup all new with all the multitude of setup options available for all kind of devices of all kinds of age.

reason for dev-site download (the app is in the playstore) is the recent enforcement of minimum API versions while the dev versiion covers a whole bunch of scenarios that the playstore version does not anymore.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bdbull:
Can you elaborate more on your setup? I had light flow installed a while back so I know how to enable it for the N6, however the LED's are extremely dim now when using light flow, to the point where I can barely see that it is even on. I was able to bring up the brightness using the mixer so I think it's ok now. Do any of the flashing methods work?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
as i said, there are so many parameters to consider for a setup that it's hard to guess what you're doing different.

my lights are extremely bright so that i had to change position of the phone on my night stand,

i shall upload the file to my server and post the link here in this post later tonight, so you can import it and compare to your setup.

most effects can be had via mixer mode and giving some colors values of 999% that has a great impact on brightness.

further weak lights are relative, if you ever get hold of an OP6 you will consider any light bright after that LOL

EDIT: decided to share from dropbox, less work ;)

Lightflow backup file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ug9a1mi7owl94af/2018-11-26.txt?dl=0

Lightflow correct app version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oc8qt5piitg968c/LightFlow_4.00.00.apk?dl=0

EDIT2: perhaps i should mentione that even though free version does a lot, i use pro version to get best and always working results and after 5 years of using lightflow i forgot which features

are free and which are not, sorry ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] piperthedj:
Is there a particular version that may work better or not? I'll seeing 1.8.1, 1.2.4, & 1.4 or does it matter? This is my first venture into magisk modules with this ROM.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
flashed viper4android fx , 2.5.0.5 material. installed as system app.

no issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Should this be flashed clean or dirty?

Also, today for the first time, I had an automatic reboot. The phone service was not there, so had to click on the airplane, that is, enable and disable few times to get the service back. Would this rebooting matter be addressed in this release?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psychoela:
Thanks.btw new build have weather at clock lock screen right?:D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Dirty flash should work (but I always advise clean flash ;)). Regarding reboot - there are tons of pages (I mean it) discussed in this thread - but none of my testing team had any reboots (soft or hard) so there is no way to fix it. Lineage dev said that the soft reboots are due to missing commits in gps repo, but it is being used directly from aosp. Moreover same repo is being used in PixelDust ROM and no one reported a reboot there. So, as you can see, it is a bit tricky.

Yes, I think :)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Just informing you on that reboot. Not a problem, if few clicks on the airplane mode would bring it back. Let's see how it would work after the new release. Any concrete date?

Could you put some of the Pixel Dust navigation gestures here, but without the vibration sounds?

And, in Pixel Dust pie recents? It has only Oreo recents.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Right! It is directly from AOSP, but AOSP stopped supporting apq8084 with Android N. That's why I made a commit chain for O. You need the same commits on P.

BTW. even if nobody reports the reebots doesn't mean there are no reboots.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I'll pick the changes mentioned by [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] and make a build

Regarding features - no, these 2 are different ROMs with different philosophies; so no feature requests please.

Even though I do not agree with that, there is no harm in picking the commits :D

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
It is not exactly a feature request for Pixel Dust, it is about some feature not working. I'll post it in that thread. I am at a dilemma in choosing between the 2 ROMs. I don't like the sound of vibration. I am an old guy with bad nerves. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
So here is the build with December security patch....

Other major changes:

1. Smartbar is now comes to Pie

2. Commits suggested by [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] are picked. [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] and others who were getting reboots, can you test that with this build?

The work you do is really really awesome and seriously appreciated ... I hope there are users that show there appreciation by sending you some coffee money and some ice cream money for the kids.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazzyvishal:
Thanks! Have you ever considered uploading ROMs to Google Drive? Drive gives (me) uncapped download speed. ? Or you can mirror it there... Because many people get that benefit of speed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i think we should once and for all clear this ;)

a soft-reboot that does not even have an impact on up-time can't be excluded. it's visible only if you have the device in use or an always on clock or screensaver that disappears and seconds later is replaced with the lockscreen or a dark display that suddenly shows the locksreen and takes a few seconds to connect to cell-towers which is even less chance to observe it.

what i'm saying is that reboots definitely can happen without being recognized and i'd be very interested to learn you reasoning as to how you can so bluntly state that this is not the case.

theoretically it would be little relevant but since the effort to solve a problem depends on:

- frequency ( how often )

- how many users

- testers experience

it's absolutely relevant to admit that reboots that are not observed can still happen while the device is not in eye-sight or directly looked at.

there is nothing i'm heading at here, but if there is a valid reason how you can exclude the possibility so strictly, even towards a recognized developer and despite all the reports about those reboots, i'd really like to learn about it, and if only for peace of everyone's mind ;)

BTW i have no problem if those RRs persist and there is not much that can be done, no problem, after all the device is rare, old and development has mostly stopped, hence it's either live with it or let my grandson play with it LOL, no problem as i said.

basically i'm just curious and yes i have an opinion and would like to know if i have to revise it, thanks

:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Thanks!

Downloading now. Should I leave the sim card in while flashing the ROM or should I take it off?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
thanks for the update and:

YES of course i'll report back about any changes as far as the reboots are concerned, i'll as well check my logs for hidden ones before

reporting back, stay tuned

best

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:46 PM ----------

any reason for this question, just interested because normally one never has to remove the sim for flashing a rom but i'm listening to any

good reason from your experience to do so, after all we never learn out ;)

my take on that is no, no need to remove SIM ever :cool:

With the O2 network in the UK in full meltdown today I haven't been getting many texts, and when I do it's 5 copies of the same one :), but after installing the new build an hour ago a text caused a blue notification light.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
If your shamu is running happy on NOS then In the future just dirty flash the update. No need to flash gapps or Magisk again, just flash the updated OS from NOS.

Perfect.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
The reason [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] says this is because I have had maybe 2 soft reboots in 2018 on my Shamu DD. That's about 4 less then my stock stock stock pixel 2 XL.

As far as you say... A soft reboot that may or may not be noticed... I'll tell you with 100 % certainty that when and if I have a soft reboot and I see it or not... As soon as I open my screen I can instantaneous tell if I've had a reboot or a soft reboot.

If you have reboots it's something on your shamu or a app you have running causing the issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
in that screenshot it says ElementalX kernel 5.22

does it support pie ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
With 52 days of uptime how are you flashing the latest releases? When I boot into TWRP to install the latest release it resets my uptime in EXKM. I'm not saying that there might not be a way but if there is I'd sure like to know how you do it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jashung:
is it possible to change the time from left to right? thx
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
Every since I started running this ROM the time has always been on the left. Are you running the Android Pie (9.0.0) version?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jashung:
sorry, should be from left to right
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
Ahh, you changed up your question,lol. Within the ROM itself I have not found a way. The might be a way with Substratum or some other method.

Do you have any problems with any Camera app with Popcorn?

Btw, the default Camera app never showed, even after few reboots. Just informing. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psychoela:
I don't know all, but i using gcam n it work perfect
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AmirHRC:
for me the camera is showing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Did you install the gcam before or after you installed the Popcorn kernel? Does this kernel give something better than the default kernel?

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

Did you do anything special to get that default camera icon to show? I couldn't get it to show, even after few reboots.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psychoela:
Btw i using aroma so my gcam installed as system, then install popcorn. Of course default kernel is the best, but my main reason I use it is because of kcal:D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AmirHRC:
before you flash the rom got to your file manager and go to android/ data the select all and delete them

and I don't use custom kernel
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i think it's obvious that i know all that and as to 100% that's where we disagree except if you have fool proof indicator which in this case you should not make a secret but name it here. i agree to 90% due depending on a few factors like missing notifications etc. but as i said:

- name the way how you 100% detect reboots so that everyone can benefit, verify and reproduce

- of course the issue is influence by user space, i think that's what i'm posting most of the time, about themes, kernel settings, UI settings etc.

despite all this agreement, i have currently 5 devices running with an identical setup, 2x Oneplus, 1x Samsung Note, Nexus 6, Nexus 5 and manage my dad's and my wife's devices with similar setups.

NONE of the other 4 has those reboots, in fact they have ZERO reboots over months and years (recognized once LOL) hence, and that's what i'm saying, it's a combo of several factors and to reason by saying your setup is to sophisticated, too complicated or whatever even though it' works everywhere else is not a valid approach either.

what i'm trying to do is to point out ALL possible and in parts proven factors and name them for others to get the most out of their device.

this has nothing to do with criticism but only with contribution for best possible results.

so if you read my past posts on the matter you will easiyl see that i reduced the number of RRs for myself by about 60% by now and since i updated yesterday to the version with [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] 's commit i had none yet.

i shall report back but something tells me that the "softies" are more or less a thing of the past now, stay tuned for my verdict after 2-3 more days.

thanks for your important contributions to make this work, lets agree that we're all trying to share knowledge to get best results, it does not matter who is right, it only matters WHAT's correct or WHAT's best practice ;)

cheers and a nice weekend [MENTION=9350973]All[/MENTION]
