The reason I say to reboot back into TWRP recovery is because when you format your data partition, in order for TWRP to be able to access that partition again it needs to be rebooted back into recovery.

When you format your data partition you are not touching the system or the recovery. You still have a rom installed, but it's like doing a factory reset... That's all.

This is what pops up in TWRP after you format your data so I just trek people to reboot back into recovery, like TWRP says to do.

I just released another video showing installing LOS (with time codes so you can go to the section of the video you want) this video may help you and be a little clearer. Just substitute LOS for this ROM.

Also, even if you don't have a rom installed, you can reboot back to recovery. You get a window pop up saying "There is no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot" just ignore it and reboot back into TWRP.

I hope this helped in some way.

Just curious why you seem to think there won't be?

There have been monthly updates for quite awhile and it has barely been a month since the last one. Past performance is no guarantee, but just curious why your asking.

No lag, nothing unusual. Very smooth.

Since 3 updates ago I have been able to turbo charge with my usual regular charger. Not sure if anyone noticed. That is a plus I have been meaning to mention

[Nexus 6 Android Development] ardaalisahin:
I also updated via ota. No problem at all for now.Thank you [MENTION=280897]nitin[/MENTION] for your work. I am using nitrogen os on my nexus 4 and nexus 6 and they are both alive. Using nexus 6 as my daily driver, after changing battery, it is much better now. It lasts 1 day, wifi lte mixed using, bluetooth always on, 3.5-4hours sot at 12 hours standby.

I am just trying not to get a new phone. I really appreciate you to help me in this case with your work :D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
Updated and its said restart and update from recovery and done. Works great as always. Thanks Nitin.

Hey so I formatted data, rebooted TWRP, and now I can't hit otg storage. But I was transferring files just fine to my laptop while the phone was booted. The laptop will pickup the device while it's in TWRP, because it pops up on my laptop. But in TWRP, it won't let me hit OTG
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
What file format is the USB formatted as?

Think it has to be fat 32
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 93fuelslut:
Sorry for the confusion. I formatted my data to decrypt, and my phone won't let me hit otg storage in TWRP while my phone is connected to the laptop. But I'm still glad you said that though
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fahadahmed11:
Finally found the time to upgrade to Pie over the weekend. Running smoothly so far. Had installed the Feb version on Friday and observed the loss of signal upon reboot. As it was mentioned here to either toggle airplane mode or wait a couple minutes, I did both and I got network. Updated over the OTA last night to the March version and have observed that the loss of signal upon reboot is not there anymore. Phone is working flawlessly so far and no stutters whatsoever. All apps working as intended. Read all the comments in this thread so am troubleshooting any minor issues/hiccups on the go. Lovely ROM Nitin, really appreciate your hard work in delaying the purchase of a new phone for me.

Just a note: Phone was observed to switch off at random battery percentages and I am chalking it up to a failing battery which has been heavily used over 4 years and 2 months. Nothing to do with the ROM.

Hail the developers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Also reboot back to revovery after decrypt.

Update the latest version and OPEN GAPPS. After the phone is turned on, you need to enter the password to unlock it. It only displays the GOOGLE voice input screen without the keyboard. Is there any way to solve it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Format your phone including data. Format not wipe, and reflash. Back up your stuff, your N6 will be deleted except twrp. You ll need pc to move data back and forth. See ya

[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
I am confused by what your saying.

There's no way to connect OTG cable if your connected to a laptop. There only one usb port on the phone, cannot have both cables connected.....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] D3THR3D:
Hi,

I am using this OS for a while now and always managed to update it until recently. In the past I have had to delete the assert line from the updater-script file to be able to avoid error 7. With the latest (2019.03.08) update I can't update the OS.

Any solution/suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What do you mean by "....I can't update the OS."?

1000+ users could do that without any issues. So you should what you are doing differently.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Error 7? Update TWRP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 93fuelslut:
I confused you because I'm an idiot. I used my USB port on the phone to connect to the laptop. But the laptop wouldn't pick up the device. So inside TWRP I hit the otg storage, because I thought it just meant external storage that's not from the phone
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I cant seem to get split screen to work. I usually use it but holding the recent button doesnt trigger it. I tried Aosp & Smartbar Nav Bars. Other than that its solid for my use.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
Keep investigating - it is something in your setup. Split screen works perfectly here.

If all else fails, clean flash.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I rebooted the phone and it started working.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hoatienii:

I faced issue while using Google map. I was on the way with direction guided by map but while on map I want to go back by home button but map is not godown.

Ps & Qs

March build smooth as silk so far. All hail The Mighty Nitin. :victory:

Interesting look at Android Q - if the for real dark mode is ah for real, I would gladly dump Substratum and Swift Black.....and all the incessant updates. Hope you crack developers can crack this also. I hope my sexy Nexy 6 can run another 3-4 years. All my friends are jealous of the build version and how fast it is....

[Nexus 6 Android Development] arealcoolhand:
Without trying to go off-topic, have you tried Swift Installer? I haven't had to touch Substratum since I installed it and it's much more customizable. Works great on my N6 with the latest version of Nitrogen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Looked at it a while back but just balked at yet another paid app just to get everything black. I have had lots of problems with Google Play since the 9 ROM (keeps looping unless I clear Download Manager). Seems to have gotten better since I disabled Swift on Google Play app. Swift now works ok without it but will revisit. Or may just just wait a few months as Android Q may solve the whole issue itself. But thanks for the suggestion.

Anyone else having Download App problems?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I havent had any trouble pertaining to Download Manager itself but play store yes, when I have a theme installed over the play store. I just quit theming the play store ever because Google keeps making micro updates to it and changing stuff, which breaks the theme.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Have done the same - the problem seems to worsen over time. I never had the problem on 8: it only started a few months ago. Substratum could easily be involved though I stripped it and all themes out for a week, and the problem reappeared. Can usually fix it by clearing out cache and storage in the Download Manager (not needing normally to touch the same inside Google Play). The 2 are connected though in the sense that what you think might be a G Play issue (endless "Download Pending") can actually be the Download Manager.

Might consider the suggestion above of Swift Installer but it looks still in beta, and not so crazy about small firm's apps getting potential access to lots of data. Plus, I had the problem even without Substratum. It just takes a few days to appear.

Been on lots of fora to find answers - all just advise clean out caches and storage in Google Play, Google Play Services, Download Manager etc. A lot of work a few time a week. Not a train smash but seriously annoying. Have hesitated to post all this here as it is a bit off topic - Just curious if anyone else has had related problems since the 9 build was released.

Downloading updates has been fine since Nitin's March Pie update, but we will see after a few days.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
What you are describing, I havent had any experience with. The only time apps wont update or download immediately for me is if I'm using an old Gapps package on a clean flash. Then, the playstore will take a while to update in the background but once it does, it starts to download immediately. I'm not saying that this is whats happening with you but this is my only problem. I havent had to clear caches or data of anything related to downloading apps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Same here.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] futurixjohn:
Thank you Nitin for the great ROM and for supporting the Nexus 6. The ROM been running smoothly.

Has anyone recently had any issues with Google pay ? It stopped working for me last week. It now says "this phone can't be used to pay in-stores.This may be because the phone is rooted or altered in someway". I have tried clearing Google pay app cache. I have magisk 18.1 and have verified that the device is passing SafetyNet. I have also tried adding Google pay app to magisk hide but that didn't help either.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
Yes, I have the same issue on two of my phones so it is not ROM related. It looks like Google changed something on their end.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mirekyiv:
Update magisk to 18.2 and manager
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pdfruth:
Cant find it anywhere

Do you know where to get 18.2?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alryder:
It is likely a Canary build (found here) which are more like an Alpha build. I don't need Google Pay so badly that I need to run a pre-beta build but thanks for letting us know that something is in the works.

The navigation gestures feature in this rom is absolutely fantastic. It allows you to fully use this BIG 16:9 beautiful screen .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ardaalisahin:
I was using pie controls before gesture controls. Gesture controls are way better than that, now i switched to gesture. Sometimes back button gesture getting hard to do, maybe setting for swipe area will work for me :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fahadahmed11:
Hey Nitin, wanted to post my feedback after using my phone for almost a week with the latest update.

First, a recap. Flashed this ROM and faced a few issues but diligently searched this thread and read through almost every page for the answers. The major complain was random reboots. But they weren't random and I was sure I couldn't blame the ROM but had to test out the cause. After all my testing, the comments in this thread and numerous suggestions, I replaced my battery last week (skeptically albeit). After replacing the battery, I followed the instructions in the OP and flashed the latest version of Nitrogen OS Pie. Have been running it since Saturday and here's the result.

1. 1 reboot in 6 days. Just ONE in 6 days. Used to have at least 10 reboots a day. And now there are absolutely no reboots(almost) - Users please note, ROM is stable and does not have reboots, it is at the user end (might be battery, app or setting related).

2. ROM is smooth. Like a hot knife through butter.

3. Using the Stock kernel (no tweaks), installed all the previous apps and icon themes with Nova launcher and there are no lags or stutters in performance.

4. Used to get SOT of about 1 to 2 hours maximum earlier, now the phone lasts all day and I get at least 3 hours (probably more later on. I am noticing a gradual increase as the new battery settles in). So far have had to charge the phone just once a day.

5. I have taken the battery down to 12% and the phone hasn't switched off yet. Earlier it used to switch off at different percentages ( 67%, 50%, 42%, etc.)

6. Volume used to drop as the battery percentage dropped, I used to rotate the screen, but that only temporarily resolved the volume issue. After replacing the battery, I haven't observed this volume drop which may other users face. ( Maybe it will return, but the new battery seemed to have fixed it for now)

Verdict: The ROM is great, it's awesome and superb. I haven't faced any issue as yet since Saturday. Replacing a battery which was heavily used over 4 years solved all my reboot issues (and other issues as well) and following the instructions in OP resulted in an awesome ROM making this phone amazing and fun to use again.

Thank you very much Nitin and the developer/testing team for the ROM. Your hard work and dedication is to be commended. Hope this post helps all other users out there who may be facing similar issues and gives them the courage to replace their battery and try this ROM at its best.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
Hi,

Since the switch to Android 9.0, I have had problems receiving and sending MMS messages.

I have already tried to reinstall but without results. I also tried to reset the network settings.

For information, I am at a French telecom operator (SFR) and I use the latest version of NitrogenOS (08.Mar.2019). Nevertheless, I have been experiencing the problem since last December and I had the same problem on another ROM.

I also tried another SIM in the phone and the result was the same.

So I guess the problem comes from Android 9.0. Have you ever encountered this problem?

In advance, thank you for your help!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Try Textra. I could not send/receive messages with Google messages before either, but Textra worked.

Other than that, please verify APN settings for your telecon.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
I don't necessarily want to change my SMS/MMS application. I don't like the Textra application.

Indeed, I use the Google Message application ! I'll try to explore this idea, I may have a particular configuration to make...

If someone has information on this subject I am interested;)

My APN settings are OK otherwise.

Thanks !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
The same thing happens with Sprint US carrier on Pie.

Stick to an updated Oreo 8.1 like Carbon ROM
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
It's a real shame to have to switch back to android 8.1!

Maybe I'll try another ROM again. It's a shame I love this ROM!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Whatever... Pie is horrible on Shamu! MMS is non functional with several carriers. Volume controls are destroyed. No cell data after reboots. Instability and laggy performance. And much more... Good luck!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
This might be your experience. Just scroll a bit up and read this post. Also 3000+ downloads and tests done by few people like [MENTION=4980030]rfactor117[/MENTION] [MENTION=3628308]bigmarv31[/MENTION] [MENTION=5143811]eocobby721[/MENTION] [MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION] (just to name a few) suggest exactly opposite story than your experience.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
Yeah, umma have to disagree pretty loudly with how broadly [MENTION=3853110]Dixon Butz[/MENTION] condemns Pie on Shamu based on his experience alone. Nitrogen is awesome, PixelDust is even better. I am totally grateful to be able to be off of my provider's upgrade path.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Exactly right. I'm fortunate that I don't live in the US and therefore don't have the Verizon, etc. problems to deal with. I have had zero reboots in weeks. I rarely send or receive MMSs, but I've managed it on Pixel Dust when I wasn't able to on Nougat or Oreo. Laggy? It's a four-year-old machine, for Pete's sake - live with it or buy a Pixel 3. Just don't complain.

By all means go back to Oreo if you want to downgrade, just don't badmouth people's work simply because you can't make everything work as you want it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
This is great rom in all respect. Day ago I applied new battery and this device is new and can beat any good Mobile in today's market after flashing Nitrogen. Thanks to Nitin, his time on keep upgrading.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wyldkard:
Did you check the APN settings? That is usually the root cause

Is it all MMS or some?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
Yes, I have already checked the APN settings.

I have already reset the settings several times.

When I reset, I can send/receive an MMS immediately but just after that it doesn't work anymore... I don't understand.

I just tried to install another android 9.0 ROM (LineageOS 16.0) and the result is the same.

It validates again that it's since I installed an Andoird 9.0 ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
What radio and bootloader version are you using?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION] deserves all the accolades he gets for having Android 9 running on the N6 as well as it does, but to say it "can beat any good Mobile [sic] in today's market" after installing Nitrogen and a new battery is an epic-level stretching of the truth. The N6 holds its own against budget and midrange devices, but not against flagship-level devices like my Pixel 2 XL. I would have some knowledge of this, as the N6 was my previous device.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
I didn't compare with pixel2xl. But still the price of pixel 2xl and n6 is way too differ. If I brought other then n6 today in the today's price of n6 then this is the best to have with this rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
Radio : radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.45+fsg-9625-02.117.img

Bootloader : bootloader-shamu-moto-apq8084-72.04.img

Thanks !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Price has no bearing on the discussion AT ALL. You said the N6 with Nitrogen and a new battery could beat any good mobile [device]. The Pixel 2 XL is a good mobile device. Yes or no, does the N6 beat the Pixel 2 XL?

If you're not understanding why I bring this up, I'll spell it out. Your opinion regarding Nitrogen and its improvements to the N6 is not an issue. I will come right out and say that the N6 is better with Nitrogen and a new battery than it was when Google stopped supporting it. The problem is the hyperbole you added to your opinion in saying the N6 with Nitrogen and battery can beat any good mobile device. Something that simply isn't true.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
What a discussion! Let me enjoy what I have in my budget with this custome rom I like and appreciate. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No one, especially me, ever told you that you couldn't. How you've gotten the impression that it's badwrongfun to use this device instead of a modern flagship from my comments is a mystery. Perhaps it's because of linguistic or cultural differences between us. Regardless, let's keep things in perspective when it comes to the capabilities of this device compared to others, ok?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Let's stop discussing this now! We got points from both of you ;)
