[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swa100:
Hey guys,

Pixel launcher seems to be constantly crashing after flashing the 7.1.1 ota with twrp. When I flash the 'pixel stuff v1.1' (that installs pixel launcher and navbar via twrp) I get a constant system UI error.. So I had to restore my nandroid backup. Also, installing apk files doesn't seem to work anymore. I get an error saying that there was a problem parsing the package? I tried multiple apks.. So, does anyone else has this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JotaJgreen:
The problem is the SystemUI apk... It is from 7.0 not from 7.1.1, this is the reason why it crashes.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swa100:
Yeah I've noticed it just before reading this post, thanks anyway! Installing apk files work when I do it via root explorer, it just doesn't work when I try to installl them by going to downloads.. Oh well.

I've got the pixel launcher working now (made the app a system app using titanium backup. It kept hanging on processing, but after rebooting it seemed it worked). If anyone's able to get their hands on the new pixel launcher apk (with the weather info on the home screen), feel free to share it with us! :D
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JotaJgreen:
I was able :D i made my own flashable zip with the pixel_launcher, and i have the weather next to the time in homescreen.

OK, I posted this in the general forum without much luck..there is more traffic here so I figured I'd give it a go here. Hope someone can help:

I have a few questions about sprite backup that I hope someone here can answer:

First off, my device is a Kaiser in case it matters (I don't think so in this case except my last and least important question)

1) When backing up with sprite, I always get the error that it can not include Windows\lic\Isoma000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.db. Why doesn't it back this file up and could it pose any problems in the long run?

2) After a hard reset, if I restore using one of my backup files, i get a lot of errors on the report. Most of the errors say "Error creating value Defalut" but a few say other thing like "Error creating Threading Model / Merit / IsRendered". However, if I do not hard reset prior to restore, i get no errors. What is the problem here? I can't think of any reason why a hard reset prior to restore would be bad.

3) After hard reset, restoring one of my backups causes sporatic duplications in the programs view (i.e. windows\start menu\programs). Usually it is tasks, calculator or calendar that is duplicated but if it is one or all is completely random it seems. I know I can simply delete these dupes but why is it happening in the first place and how do I prevent it? Secondly, i don't know what else it is duping on the device and don't want to browse every file on the device to find out.

4) This one is a little more Kaiser specific but still in regards to sprite. On the apps disk, the are two separate sprite files it seems. The only difference I can see is on has the PPC and desktop version while the other is just the cab for PPC. Funny thing is, the cab is labled as HTC Backup even though it is obviously sprite after install. This is the one I used for install since I didn't care much about the PC agent. Could this be part of my issue? Also, is there any reason I should install one over the other if I don't care about the PC side of sprite (I suppose I could install using that file and then uninstall the pc side but....). This one is more of a curiosity overall as I don't see why it would matter shich version I installed (assuming the file called HTC Backup...... is the same.)

Please help me to understand what's going on here. While not new to PPC, I am new to sprite as I have always used SPB in the past and never had these issues. Wanted to try sprite due to the extended options. Now I'm wondering if my decision to try sprite over SPB was the wrong one.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mbn:
Don't know about your other questions, but I had the same (windows/lic/lsoma....) file that would not back up and I was able to restore fine.

Would really appreciate your inputs. ?

[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] poults:
On the other hand, I came from an S5 and the Huawei is a far better phone...
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] guitarsmurf2501:
I've had Samsung Note 2, LG G3, OnePlus 2... The P9 has them all beat if you ask me. Great design, great camera, good battery life, fast and smooth processor. EMUI takes some getting used to and takes a bit longer to set up, but after that everything just works. No little quirks, no overheating, no random reboots...

I've had it for 3 months now and I still see no reason to root it. Very happy with the phone.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] shaunydub:
I came from Windows and Lumia 950XL, tried a couple of Android devices before finally sticking with the P9.

It's a great phone and is much more stable and less issues with apps running and permissions etc than I found on other Android devices.

The only problem for me would be there with most devices..there is no dedicated camera button like I had on Windows for last 6 years.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
Thanks for the feedback guys. I have tried the demo unit and so far everyrhing seems really nice. My only qualm I guess is the slow support in terms of software development but I could be wrong as well. After all this is a new phone that needs some familiarizing.

Thanks again everyone ? ??

[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
If I recall correctly, we have only passed the minimum GUARANTEED support date, not the maximum possible, which remains technically "until they finally stop". I would hope that the N6 gets a pretty good bit of longevity, since it was bloody expensive.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Mario:
I'd agree. Nexus 6 is probably still the best Pixel phone because there's nothing like it, not even Pixel XL come close. I'd feel bummed, but if I ever decide to get Pixel, I'd wait and see if Verizon version is not locked down, if it does, I will keep using good old Shamu until I can buy Google Store version. Hopefully Google still support Nexus 6 for a bit longer.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
I believe it has already been confirmed that the pixels sold by (and on behalf of) verizon, ARE locked down.

Having said that, we received a Pixel 5"/128 yesterday, and it is a phenomenal phone. And while I wouldn't buy one *as* a replacement for my Nexus 6 (this Pixel was replacement for wife's fairly beat up Nexus 5), if I was needing a phone, I would definitely go with a Pixel.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Mario:
At least I have two choices; pay $200 for Verizon Pixel (if its bootloader is locked down, well, screw Verizon), or $650 for Pixel from Google and knock off its bootloader lock.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Verizon will get 2x the difference back from you.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Mario:
That's true, but I had no drama coughing up $200 on Verizon Nexus 6, and unlocked its bootloader as soon as I got home.

It's looking unlikely I will go down that route again, though.
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
Its good to see Shamu will be updated to 7.1. I see some ROM developers are already working on a 7.1 aosp build.

Regarding the pixel vs Shamu. Picked up a 5" Pixel for my wife. The build quality is fantastic and its blazingly smooth and fast. But even my wife says its too small compared to Shamu and thinks it looks way too much like an iPhone.The setup process was a piece of cake. Plugged the two phones into each other with the cable provided and the Pixel copied everything over from her Shamu. Google is CLEARLY aiming at converting iOS users with this device.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Mario:
The funny thing is, Pixels were originally supposed to be destined to be the Nexuses. I guess Google is trying the half-assed approach to be the next "Apple", and given the fact that us Nexus fans are being quite vocal about the demise of Nexus program, I can see it going badly.
[Nexus 6  General] HueyT:
I've been watching and waiting but since they skipped SHAMU for Preview 1, we'll have to wait for Preview 2 in Nov
[Nexus 6  General] uberbdon:
How are they trying to be the next Apple?

Also, Nexus users make up a tiny fraction of overall Android users. Ending the Nexus program won't effect their business in any way.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Mario:
The answer for that is very simple;

1. HTC Pixel that looks very much like Apple iPhone. And that it does speak Apple design language (won't be long before Apple sues HTC over dumb designs look-alike. And I don't care about Apple - I despise them for their crippled software and being the most cockiest patent troll.)

2. Verified boot is pretty much like what Apple implemented in their iDevices (except messing with the kernel or bootloader in iDevices usually result in total brick).

So yes, Google is now much like Apple, or at least trying to be one. I saw the writing on the wall already, although I won't abandon Android, as it usually have fewer bugs compared to iOS, and is very stable. Not to mention customization options.
[Nexus 6  General] uberbdon:
Verified boot is copying apple? I guess using encryption is copying Apple as well?

I'm still trying to decipher what this even means.

As far as the phones looking alike, what shape do you want your phone to be? Some sort of rectangular shape is the only logical shape for a phone.
[Nexus 6  General] holeindalip:
Well Samsung did get sued for having a rectangular phone with rounded edges, still don't understand how you get sued for a shape
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Mario:
The option to force encryption is not new, BlackBerry phones may probably have done that for a while long before iPhone came to the smartphone scene. So it's not Apple-y enough.

But locking you out, it's Apple-y. Verified boot is meant to discourage you from ever trying to root (which is a big problem because systemless root is now also checked for in Android 7.0 and root is obviously required to unlock specific bootloader) - which usually result in a soft brick. Walled Garden of the Bootloader. Screw that, it's all too Apple-like.

And, yes, Samsung got sued by Apple over general hardware shape (and HTC could be next because current Pixels are Android-based clones of the iPhone 6 - they both look almost the same except for a few key differences), along with some software features (Google was also involved).

I will think about buying Pixel still, as long as its bootloader is to be unlockable. This could be my first 64-bit Nexus phone, in general (And Nexus 6 Shamu being my last 32-bit smartphone).
[Nexus 6  General] morpheousrx:
I have a 64Gb Nexus 6 (cloud white), a 128GB Nexus 6P (graphite), and a 128GB Pixel XL (really black). Yes I am a phone nut. I am seriously surprised at how the nexus 6 and 6P hold up against the Pixel XL. With only considering every day use the UI is just as snappy on the Nexus 6 as the Pixel XL. Android 7.1 has truly given Android OS that polished smooth feel that Apple has had across multiple phone generations. If I were tight on a budget in need of a phone, the Nexus 6 would definitely fit the bill. Likewise with the Nexus 6P, albeit at a slightly higher price point. Cheers to all the Developers here on XDA. A much deserved Thank You! to you all.

[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Google chose to pull Android 7.1.1 for our device. The Nexus 6 was always the odd man out in the Android 7.1.1 update race anyway, as it was the only device on the upgrade short list that had a 32-bit processor. While a nice gesture on Google's part, supporting the N6 when your efforts going forward were all in the 64-bit processing space made little sense to me.

EDIT 1: The questions about the N6 have already started rolling in on the Android Beta Community Google+ page.

EDIT 2: Further reading indicates that we were never supposed to receive DP2, but are still supposed to receive the final version. If this screenshot is any indicator. Said screenshot is apparently of the mobile version of the Developer Overview of the developer.android.com site.
[Nexus 6  General] GraveDigger176:
they removed the N6 and GM 4G from dev preview 2 it was mentoid to get it, but anyways the google gangstas are the same liars as all other OEM companys, thats why i give a **** on any writen words :good::cowboy:
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Hey, you sound like the guy on the Android Beta or Development Preview Google+ feeds moaning because Google supposedly has already abandoned us. I'll tell you the same thing I would tell him if I used Google+: be thankful we were even considered for a factory update.

Google made their timelines clear here, but whether Google chooses to continue or not is at their discretion. As it stands, we are still slated for the final product, but if we don't get it, what then? Will you rant and rave about how Google "abandoned" the Nexus 6, despite knowing for at least a year now that there is no guarantee of future OS updates beyond 24 months from device introduction? Will you decide to go hang out with some other manufacturer, e.g. Sony? Or will you take the adult route, understand that there are some things you cannot change, and focus on the things you can?

Seriously, this is XDA Developers, and all this angst over Google discontinuing support is overblown. But it's always much more convenient to complain about things than actually doing something about it.

[Nexus 6  General] GraveDigger176:
You're absoluty right at some Points, but google better has not mentoined the N6 to any timeline or anything else, so many people would not be disappointed, as is the case now. For me it does not matter. I have android n and am more than satisfied. I also sell my N6 next month, so I do not care if I get android 7.1.1 or not :good::cowboy::D
[Nexus 6  General] SynisterWolf:
Looks like they are still uploading the previews. https://developer.android.com/preview/download.html

I would highly suggest you opt in for the beta program but if you are on a custom firmware, do not take it. Just go back to stock first and the notification will come back.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
The Nexus 6 will continue to get security updates until October 2017. We are past the 24 months for OS updates. Not saying we won't get 7.1.1 but there's no guarantee according to Google's Android update policy.
[Nexus 6  General] :
That is why I come here on XDA to get my hands on custom ROM anyhow (as sometimes stock ROM have problems, which Verizon Wireless is famous for - Nexuses are considered special cases as Google vet almost everything to make sure it don't cause any gripes). However, I would not really complain about the stock ROM update anyhow; Nexus 6's official OS support is already over, now all we have left is security (Linux kernel) update.
[Nexus 6  General] Milly7:
I know everyone is itching to get there hands on 7.1, but we are still listed to receive the final release. Let's be thankful for that at least.
