You're telling me. This is what XDA has become now. Its too much work to do anything other than post and get an answer as quick as possible. To much work to read anything or search for anything. Someone said what are they suppose to do read every page. Lol Listen, when I'm using something, as long as I'm not in a hurry, If there are 30 unread pages, I'm reading them. Even if I have to skim thru them. I guess I'm in the minority clearly. Its too much work to even 3 post prior. It gotta be laziness. Its happening so much lately too. Its a Shame. We are of course here to help each other, of course, but it's s slap in the face to not do your part and make an effort to find what you are looking for 1st b4 auto posting to get the answer as fast as possible.

That's actually for specific apps like keyboards. Just install a keyboard from fdroid and enable it as input method and you'll get the popup. It could have been introduced in 7.0 though I can't remember if I installed an input method out of Google play.

It's a clean flash, just kept my data. I know how to solve the problem anyway thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Ah okay, good, thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
Why read when you have people answering again and again to the same questions? That's the side effect of the infamous thanks button. People answering are also part of the problem. But you know, you have to be polite because XDA is 'a place to help' etc..

Whatever.

I tried to reflash the wallpaper zip from this post http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/gener...er-preview-t3483739/post69221358#post69221358

How do i get rounded circle icons working on Pixel Launcher? Tried flashing the .zip , manually installed as sys app for the launcher but no icons
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Here's where I downloaded the pixel wallpapers....

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-live-earth-wallpapers-pixel-backport-t3481221/page4

And the wallpaper picker is available on the play store.
[Nexus 6P General] corywf:
The wallpaperFix.zip or the APK on the first post of that thread? I tried the APK and it fails saying "This package appears to be corrupt". I have the newest version of the wallpaper picker installed from the play store. It crashes whenever I try to select a live wallpaper. Works for regular ones though.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
The wallpapers are in the part marked for arm 64 the first page. Sorry the link somehow went to the 4th page. Go to the first page for the download. I'd install it with root explorer or something similar if you have a problem.
[Nexus 6P General] corywf:
Yep, I tried installing that APK using SolidExplorer. I think since the wallpapers are already installed it's failing due to app signature conflicts. I guess I can live without the live wallpaper.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Remove the app and start over? Other than that I can't see what will work. Good luck!
[Nexus 6P General] corywf:
I'm trying that now. Not sure if there's a good way to totally remove the app as it looks like it installs a bunch of stuff.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I just tried it 2 hours ago and soft bricked my phone while I was roaming around am hour from home. Lol maybe the update will allow it to work.

Anyone find a way to get AdAway to work yet? Pretty sure the app worked on 7.0, but isn't fails on 7.1.1.
[Nexus 6P General] therock3181:
Have you flashed the systemless zip file from AdAway thread ?
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
This is super jacked up but what you have to do is...go to your AdAway preference and change the target to data/hosts

Then run AdAway and it will tell you it's missing a symlink, it will try to add the symlink but fail, this is normal. Then go back to preferences in AdAway and change the target back to system/etc/hosts

Not open up root explorer or whatever root style file explorer you use and navigate to the data folder...in there you will see the hosts file...copy it over to system/etc/ and overwrite the hosts file there...reboot and you're golden

I know this is a BS way of doing it but it works
[Nexus 6P General] hmillos:
Just finished reading complete thread. Entertaining read, I've learned a lot, and now I will flash OTA.

To resume:

* if you want to try developer preview but you don't want to lose root or TWRP, you have to flash SU after flashing OTA.

* If you want the weather widget you need the latest Pixel Launcher (Get it from apkmirror): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69241485&postcount=530

* If you want google assistant, enroll in Google app beta program, update Google app, edit build.prop (Requires root): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69226378&postcount=375

Thanks to these guys and many others who have taken the time to answer the same questions several times, they're the real mvps
[Nexus 6P General] Sheetzie03:
You are welcome. Wow if only other user were like you. Very good post
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I have not. AdAway is hard to find info on nowadays. I just used the regular app I've used for the last 7 years, tried it as a data app and also as a system app, no luck. I'll try what was described right after your post.
[Nexus 6P General] hmillos:
I must admit that it was mildly infuriating when I finished reading a page and then there was like 5 more :(
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
The AdAway zip didn't work for me... Not to say it don't work...I just didn't have luck with it
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Worked perfectly, and honestly, is easier than it sounds when reading it. Only took a minute. Thank you so much!

Now if I could just figure out why weather on the home screen is so buggy. I've had it working only twice. And did something to lose it each time. It takes me like 2 hours to get it back each time. And each time it starts working after doing something different, so I can't nail down a pattern yet.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Glad it worked...now swipe over to google and refresh it ...as long as google shows the weather, so will the launcher
[Nexus 6P General] Atticustrd:
How do you do that?
[Nexus 6P General] phillymade:
I flashed OTA in TWRP and lost TWRP. Tried to fastboot flash it back but it would not stick, I only have stock recovery now.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Did you not flash supersu after flashing the ota?
[Nexus 6P General] galakanokis:
You need to flash twrp and Super SU or else twrp will not stick after booting. Been this way for awhile.
[Nexus 6P General] schwartz.matthew.e:
Did you just reroot with the wugs toolkit?
[Nexus 6P General] casonswag:
Got it and rooted
[Nexus 6P General] phillymade:
Foolishly in my haste I did not. I'll have to return to 7.0 and restore my backup and start over. Oh well, it's still cool I can live on straight stock for a day.

In case someone asks, Android Pay DOES work fine, since this uses Final APIs. In fact, AP got a few UI tweaks.

How do i get the icon app to work?? I installed it but nothing happened ?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
In July or August, Google re-uploaded and repackaged their entire list of factory images for Nexus 5X and 6P. They are all zips now. Google also added the sha 256 for file checking as well, instead of the md5. Flashfire should handle it fine still.
[Nexus 6P General] ariefabuzaky:
Its force encryption disabled ?
[Nexus 6P General] bmg1001:
New camera is in there. No Launcher though.
[Nexus 6P General] GatorsUF:
I have pixel launcher installed but no Google now page when swiping left.

How do you get to gifs in keyboard?
[Nexus 6P General] stm8:
In System UI Tuner you can select the option to show hours, minutes AND SECONDS on the status bar.

ETA: nvm. not a new feature.
[Nexus 6P General] ps000000:
I will try this.

Oh I just flashed full factory image. It does look better than 7.0.
[Nexus 6P General] vng10:
So I tried to dirty flash the OTA through TWRP over stock with root and adway. Didn't go so well. Ended up wiping my entire internal storage and encrypting my phone again lol. But I am on 7.1! Guess I'll have to wait for the modified boot to get decryption or if I can root on encrypted, someone let me know.
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Haha! Trust me, I've tried that over 500 times. All of my higher apps are system apps, they all have permission to use my location, I've wiped the data of all my higher apps 20+ times. I've updated within the Google now type thing, and I've updated disarms of times in the news and weather app too. She's not coming back, no matter what right now lol.

I think it's just buggy and unstable. And even if it is stable, then it must be the way I use my phone that is not conducive. I never have location on, so maybe it won't work for me anyway. I only turn on location to allow Google to track me if I really need navigation lol.
[Nexus 6P General] BakedTator:
Only works with location as far as I know
[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
Yeah, that's of no use to me then. There's no reason they can't allow you to set a location, and use that. You should be able to set the update frequent as well. At least that's how it should be, if they cared about their customer's, which thrust providing more and more each day that they don't. Ah well.

Thank you for your help with AdAway!
[Nexus 6P General] hmillos:

Substratum is working. It's just a few themes that aren't.

Edit: are more people seeing the message in the play store that substrstum isn't compatible with their device? I'm on version 238 now and I'd like to update to 350. And apk mirror doesn't have the 350 apk already.
[Nexus 6P General] suzook:

[Nexus 6P General] rogi19:
can someone pls share his build.prop with the assistant enabled, i accidantaly soft bricked mine by copying the build.prop that worked with 7.0 and i am too tired to flash the entire ota again

[MENTION=5021800]swa100[/MENTION] can confirm boot animation running fine with nexus 6p
[Nexus 6P General] swa100:
Could you also make a flashable zip for just the navbar buttons? Would be great man! Then I won't be needing substratum anymore. Might come in handy when the new dev previews will be released! Thanks in advance dude!

Did you make ANY effort at all looking for threads about this? They are quite a few. Its been talked about SO much. We help each other here on XDA yes, but you gotta make an effort more than auto posting looking for a quick answer. I'm done enabling people by explaining over and over and making this problem worse.

This is what 7.0 should have been...though I really enjoyed 7.0, but 7.1.1 beta is 100 times better and more stable than 7.0...thank you google for making something worth a damn...a real upgrade
[Nexus 6P General] ViperXvenom8888:
Do you have drive? If you do, it will open it and not download it, so you have to disable drive to be able to actually download it.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
I don't know what is "beta" about 7.1.1 it feels very finished to me. 7.0 was a mess beside it.
[Nexus 6P General] Sigray:
I think the google will release this build without any modification.
[Nexus 6P General] mosd:
does this wipe data?
[Nexus 6P General] Chilled26:
Same thing happened to me, except I clean flashed. It hung during the flash in twrp then auto rebooted in to a boot loop so I booted back in to twrp and my internal storage had been wiped.
[Nexus 6P General] r3ix:
7.0 was terrible, this 7.1 is great. I think Google has only to add assistant. Again i love my nexus 6p
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
Call me cynical but Google release a "final" 7.0 which is a mess right through the Pixel build up, launch and pre orders then all of a sudden we get an almost perfect 7.1 when the Pixel is released?! Couldn't be that they wanted Nexus users to pre order the Pixel could it?
[Nexus 6P General] ace-user:
7.1.1 is great. 4 and half hours SOT with 25% left. Everything stock, no root.

GPS on to battery saving, adaptive brightness up to half way, wifi 90% of the time.
[Nexus 6P General] Woodrow256:
Im glad im not the only one. This rom is great on my 6p. Its a better upgrade than from 6 to 7. Im loving the assistant too. I may not go back to pure nexus for a long while.
[Nexus 6P General] dutchy716:
Anyone experience poor reception on 7.1?
[Nexus 6P General] madeSICC:
Love this phone with the new preview, did a clean flash and then flashed the zip that has all the assistant, launcher and nav bar icons and all worked perfectly. Got AdAway and Viper working great as well. Now I just need to wait for substratum tweak that allows me to change my nav bar height to work and then I will be all set.

Tried it out and just got a bootloop.

Really impressed with how good Googe assistant works. Pretty fun.
[Nexus 6P General] rchtk:
A boot animation showing 4 jumping dots doesn't need a 2k res.. This one perfectly fits the screen.

Ugly? It matches fine..

The point being. It has a black background..
[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
7.1 is so much better than 7.0 that it's not even funny.

I'm seriously wondering what lead Google to release 7.0 as a "final" software version since it was clearly not finished.
[Nexus 6P General] Batfink33:
The 6P is like a new phone with it. I really think they were trying to sell Pixels by sending out a janky 7.0 6P Rom.
[Nexus 6P General] OGWAUN:
I downloaded the boot animation but now it only says Android on a black screen..
[Nexus 6P General] phillymade:
So far the only thing I noticed is when I have Bluetooth connected, I get freezing when opening the lock screen and swiping the notification shade. Turn it off and all is back to normal.
[Nexus 6P General] nardow:
I am experiencing some lag while pressing the power button to wake the phone. It's a 2-4 seconds delay.

Anyone else?
[Nexus 6P General] mosd:
There is a zip with all that? Where? Plz tell
[Nexus 6P General] alex9898:
Not a good move in my opinion.

I was seriously considering to buy a Samsung phone again since Google wasn't able to maintain software better than any other manufacturers (delay to release the final version of 7.0 on the 6P, random battery drain, stability issue, ...).

In fact, I have buy and return a Note 7 (not because it was explosive but because it was not nearly as smooth as my 6P...) and I was seriously considering to buy a S7 Edge or an HTC 10.

Now that 7.1.1 is released and that I see how great the software is, I might consider buying a Pixel XL when it become available in my country (but my 6P run so well on 7.1.1, there is no reason to do so right now. I will certainly buy the next generation of Pixel's phones in 2017).

[Nexus 6P General] HikingMoose:
I've been on this for about two days now. So far, I'm fairly happy with it. It's pretty smooth, with acceptable battery life. But I think I'm having a few small issues as well. Does TiBu always work for you guys, or does it sometimes fail to load, and you can't use it for a bit, but will work later? It does this often to me. I have busy box installed. It's actually done the same thing with a couple other apps as well. I'm considering re-flashing it with fastboot this time instead of TWRP'ing the OTA. If no one else is having apps fail, then I'll re do it.

Edit: So no one else is having apps close?
[Nexus 6P General] jesssiii:
I don't call that cynical. I call it realistic, the truth.

[Nexus 6P General] asj0422:

I totally thought you were kidding. Finally looked, and wow. Really is a yadda yadda folder! Thanks!

Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes to both. Unzip the factory image and the vendor, boot, and system can be flashed in TWRP.

The Google provided 1 GB OTA image can be installed in its entirety in ADB sideload through TWRP as well.
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
I know lol!
[Nexus 6P General] Won't be druv:
Tibu often closes immediately after I open it. Perhaps even two or three times. Then it opens properly. I would imagine the app needs updating. I haven't any problems with any other apps as yet though.

I haven't done any flashing, or backing up via twrp in several years so if this sounds noobish please give me a little slack, but I downloaded the 7.1.1 ota zip, also supersu 2.78. I should flash the OTA zip and then flash SuperSU to keep root correct? And when I backup do I only have to backup system, boot, and data? Or do I need to backup a anything else? One last thing is do I have to unzip the OTA zip somehow? Or just flash the zip the way it is? Thanks in advance. I did read the whole thread I just don't wanna end up messing up this device.

Correct, mate! Just backup the data as you described. And also, flash the ota zip just as is via twrp. After that, flash supersu again. Enjoy 7.1.1!
