8.1 final is out with December security patch. But I'm hearing this is actually an older build then dp2? Google tripping lol

Can we expect a new build of the ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bdwilk:
Nope. He's done. C'mon dude. Give the man a little time. Dang. It'll be done when he posts it. Not one minute before or one minute after.

Anyone else running into random UI reboots? It happened on both October and November builds. Goes away when wiping cache/dalvik cache on TWRP but it returns randomly a few days after.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wambam1:
Not experienced any reboots myself.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rbouza1:
Me too
[Nexus 6P Android Development] psychomaniac82:
No reboots here also. Must say, superXe is the most smooth, battery friendly rom I used on Oreo. Running Oktober version though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mogul420:
It appears as a quick UI reload on which the last part of the Google boot animation comes out (when the Google word forms), then SIM/Signal recon, then sometimes does the same a few times in a row. So it is not a full reboot, the process is about 3-4 seconds long.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xtc_24:
No random reboots whatsoever on latest custom 8.0 Nov build.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mogul420:
Forgot to mention, this is happening on 8.1 builds. Haven't tried 8.0 yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rbouza1:
I have rebooting on 8.1 also
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cile381:
Do you have a log? Without it the reboot did not happen!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mogul420:
Just took a bug report. Will PM you with it in a sec.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dxt6191:
Having issue with my Bluetooth. It is not working properly on call and will behave like it has poor connection and have of static, it works fine while listening to music though. Also for some reason when in call the data will go to "H" instead if "LTE"

Don't see an "Always On" toggle on 8.1.0. Are you referring to Ambient Display?

Thanks !, with pixel mod ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] legolascd:
Thanks for your work, fast update. thanks for it.

This rom have a pixel mod true?

sRGB is available on dev options in oreo 8.1? I dont like the saturation of display whit out this setting.

Regards.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
So... I am to install the 8.0 vendor image and then the 8.0 rom? Is this because the vendor image will flash the latest bootloader and radio, or is there another reason? I'm used to just installing any necessary radio/bootloader files, and then installing the rom itself. Upgrading to 8.0 seems different than what I've done in the past. Also, what gapps should I use?

I'd like to upgrade to 8.1, but it sounds like people are having too many problems w/ no cell signal, random reboots, etc.

Thank you.

I'm reading this thread from back to front (latest post first) and I'm seeing a ton of references to DP1 and DP2; what is that??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Peppespa:
hi guys, I installed the rom, but I no longer have the root, does anyone have the file for the recovery flash?

Inviato dal mio Nexus 6P utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cile381:
1. You did not select root (magisk) when installing.

2. You changed the kernel after installation.

:)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
Just search XDA for Magisk and you can download it from the OP.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:06 PM ----------

As long as you flash the corresponding vendor when you flash the ROM you'll be fine. The vendor doesn't flash anything else. That partition contains files that Android needs and vendors change with new full/point releases of Android. BL and radio are included in a zipped ROM like this, whereas they are all separate partitions if you were fastboot flashing the stock IMGs. In most cases you wouldn't have installed separate BLs/radios for custom ROMs in the past either, but the vendor change happened with Nougat, so it's not particularly new either.

You don't flash GApps, as this is basically a completely stock version of 8.1 Android, and includes the same pkg of apps as if you'd used the factory image. It's installed by Aroma, so you can choose to install some things like Magisk for root and Viper for sound. If you are looking for options that aren't stock, that's not what this ROM is. It's focused on smoothness and decent battery for those who like stock Android.

DP stands for Developer Preview and they are the pre-release versions of Android you get when you are enrolled in the beta program.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mangusZen:
So guys, Im comfused, what fonts are we using now? What fonts superxe installs?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
Wow, thank you very much for the reply. As long as I have root and am able to use substratum/andromeda, I'm fine. I don't need mods.

I have taken into consideration all of the problems ppl said they were having, and I'm going to go for 8.1. Sounds like as long as I remove my pin code from lock screen, and make sure to install magisk, I'll be able to make calls, have wifi, and keep superuser.

Having done a little reading on magisk (not much reading) it sounds like I'll need to uninstall root on my 7.1.2 before I flash? Or just a wipe is good? And if I go back to 7.1.2, do I have to go back to the old bootloader? If I hate 8.1 or it doesn't work for me, I want to be able to go back to that, so I have a copy of my old bootloader on hand.

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
If you are still on Nougat, it would be wise to fastboot flash the factory image and then flash Super XE if that's what you want. Many people have had problems going from a custom N rom to a custom O rom. And, you really should do a full wipe. A lot of problems will likely be avoided, even though it will take more time.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] xtc_24:
Pixel 2's Product Sans, flashable zip ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
You're talking about upgrading to the system image linked in the first post? So just do it in order of how he said, I think? I'm getting information from everywhere, and I'm pretty sketched out, lol. I'm worried about a lot of things, including losing recovery during install.

Thanks again, man.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
The OP of this ROM thread isn't where you get Android factory images, this is: https://developers.google.com/android/images?hl=en

The guide for flashing them is at https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928

You will always lose recovery on a full factory image install. There are ways to not do it, particularly on a monthly security update, but going between full android versions (ie - 7 to 8) you absolutely want to do a full wipe, or don't be surprised if you have all kinds of problems. After you do a full factory image install, you can just re-intall TWRP after your device boots (before and it will usually just install the stock recovery during the first boot up) and you'll have your custom recovery back. If you're going to flash the factory images with a full wipe, then you also need to ensure you do full backups and move them to your computer so you can restore data by dragging it back. You'll want your data and a full nandroid so you can do a complete system restore if you bork things (once you re-install a custom recovery). This last bit assumes you wipe everything. Not absolutely necessary, but wiping your internal storage insures you have nothing left behind and your device is clean. Your call.

The guide I linked gives you very complete instructions for all scenarios. Avoid tons of random opinions and use the guide. If you haven't done much command line flashing, it's a bit scary at first, but it gets very easy and it's pretty fast.

For thanks, the thanks button works too ;)

Does v4a work on superex 8.1 with a custom kernel installed?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
So I installed this earlier. Does anyone know what would be causing really bad screen tearing? It happens quite a bit.

On 8.1.0

And I think I read somewhere in this thread that if you change the kernel on this rom, you'll bork it and have to reinstall? Becuase I just read changing the kernel may help, and I wanted to use ElementalX.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bdwilk:
EX just updated to 8.1 compatibility. I'm using it on stock 8.1 right now and it's pretty nice. Waiting on SuperUbeR to be finished.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] psychomaniac82:
Running since last evening 20.00 (in Holland) it's now 7.30 This thing is fast and smooth! Installed pixel package, elementalX kernel and v4a works great. Battery looks better than 8.0. is definitely smoother than 8.0, can tell scrolling cache is more enhanced. The boys at Google did a great job! At the moment i see that gboard, sometimes doesn't enable haptic feedback engine. Not a problem and it happens almost never.

Thanks [MENTION=823251]cile381[/MENTION] for the awesome work. Am just downloading the same to clean flash.

Just wanted to ask whether the Driving Do Not Disturb rule is working in this new build or not? In the earlier build, it was missing. Hence the query.

Just upgraded to 8.1 and the weird audio stuttering with the speakers is back again unfortunately. I play music on my speakers like when I'm cooking or something, and when I use the phone during the music playback it stutters. It just stops and continues for a split second when you tap the home button or switch apps.

Sync Issue

Hi dev. The ROM is absolutely GREAT. It is giving me the best battery life on oreo by a country mile.

Couple of questions:

1. I flashed the december 5 version. Is that the dev preview 2? Have you released a final one?

2. There seems to be some contact sync issue. This happened when I was on stock as well dp2. Some contacts do not show while they are clearly present when viewed from browser

Other than that, excellent work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nico4k:
Is the custom 8.1 out yet? :laugh: I'm waiting for the release to upgrade to 8.1. No rush, just curious!

Thanks for the custom built it is the best ROM my Nexus 6P ever had! :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coachcrey:
Hey anyone else not receiving phone calls on the latest 8.1 I am on the right vendor
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
I had the same thing happen. From what I can tell, just my kids and my ex disappeared from contacts. Weird. But, it's not, most likely, related to this rom. Probably a issue on Google's end.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clshores:
It was there for me but still caused a system freeze so I had to turn it off.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
I installed this (8.1) last night. I had screen tearing at first, but it went away for the most part. Now it just seems the os is running really choppy. Does anyone know if going to 8.0 will fix this? I've never seen android run so choppy. I did a clean wipe before install. Also, I get a notification on a fresh boot saying, "Magisk manager has stopped working". Is this normal?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sjancura:
As far as the contacts not syncing, I had the same problem. Seem all the favorites did not sync. They are there on my Google account, but would not sync. Googled it and it is happening to many people. Seems to be related to Google + somehow even if you do not have the app installed. Being that Google + is pretty much worthless to me, I went and deleted my + account (Googled it again), and the made the contacts resync and boom! Other people have success uninstalling updates to the Contacts app and then letting it upgrade through Playstore and resyncing to solve the issue. Others do a factory reset that solves the problem for them. Hope this helps!

Does AOD got the burn in protection?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
I can't say yes or no, but this is google; I would imagine they would code it around being careful with this sort of thing. Other people in this thread were saying battery life is terrible w/ this enabled, however.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bdwilk:
You are true, but this was an added in feature that does have separate commits for burn-in protection. So unless someone wants to check cile's git for the proper commits then only he can answer that question with a fact.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ibawanzingee:
That makes sense. :)

[Nexus 6P Android Development] KBizzle:
Anyone ran into screen wake delay or even the phone locking up while on the lockscreen? I have tried every 8.1 SuperXE rom and I have never seen anyone complain. Wondering if its my phone hardware going to crap. I have tried flashing without installing anything in Aroma and with all the parts. Turned off always on display option. Turned off ambient display all together. No go. Just wondering if there are others out there that have maybe experienced this and found a fix. TIA
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clshores:
It happened to me and turning off AOD cured it. Hasn't frozen in 24 hours after I diabled it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KBizzle:
Hmmm..... I did try that but it still happened again in my case. Only thing i havent done in a while is go back to stock with a full internal wipe. Guess it is worth a try. I hate doing that...... LOL

Try wiping data and cache of magisk. Also if you have any substratum overlay on it remove. Hotspot works make sure you fastboot latest vendor, bootloader and radio.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Peppespa:
nothing, it does not work either, in magisk when I select the superuser voice, it crashes abnormally, and I can not get the root, substratum obviously without root does not work, the rest instead hotspot works perfectly

[Nexus 6P Android Development] clshores:
I stand corrected. I didn't disconnect my ethernet yesterday so I too get a connection but no data. I didn't flash bootloader or radio and will do so and see if that clears things up.

Anyone have a TWRP flashable bootloader/radio from the OPM1? I've gone to Mac and havent setup adb to work yet.

Yes I had the same issue with freezing on the lock screen. I turned off AOD.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Clean flash. Again.

Try flashing the vendor image after flashing ROM.

And of course select magisk in the aroma menu.

Good luck!

Custom 8.1.0 build is not ready yet...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] psychomaniac82:
AOD also not working here. Our device isn't still ready for AOD. My guess is that the phone doesn't wake up correctly from deep sleep, hope the dev's find out if and how it's possible for the nexus 6P.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cile381:
For now, we do not have the option of repacking apks. Turn off AOD or do not install Pixel 2 Mod.

What rom you coming from?

Re dl rom, full wipe, make sure you're on correct vendor and that your on the new radio altho I'm not sure how important that is, remember too, im sure the 1st boot will take longer than usual considering this is 8.1
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kennyh32701:
Same problem then I realized I forgot to flash the new vendor. After that it starts no problem.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
You like that huh? I don't understand why it's popular. The nav bar, yes, definitely, but the animation? Have no interest, def don't want any animation when pressing the home button. Just me I guess.

It's for the ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ lol

The new vendor is right below the download link for the rom in the op tho, not sure how it's possible to miss.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kennyh32701:
Oh I agree. I saw it, downloaded it and had it ready to flash. But when you get to your 50's and can't remember what you had for breakfast... You'll understand how easy it is to "miss" or forget.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Hey I like s*"* to look good too, but that animation, it's just a waste to me. Def not something I think looks good. But hey, that's why Android is so awesome, We can do so many different things to our phones. And we aren't going to like all the same stuff.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] virtualstrawhat9x:
This is true haha
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Haha Well I'm not there, but you'd be surprised, I'm not as young as you think.

No I understand. That's different. The thing that bothers me is the laziness, a % of users here want everything handed to them, it's too much work sometimes to even read the 1st post or a post above then, when other users are reading just about everything. It gets frustrating seeing how often it happens is what it is. Well glad you got it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aaroncal:
Still have issues with hotspot transmitting data. It will connect with the other device. I have done three fresh installs and tried each b/l and radio version. Reflashed 7.1.2 and hotspot works as intended. Flash back to 8.1 and its a no go.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Have you completely wiped your phone yet and flashed stock firmware? Generally a good idea when switching android versions. At least flash the latest bootloader,radio and vendor through fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aaroncal:
Yes I only do clean installs each time and only flash bootloaders and base bands through fastboot. I started with a clean slate each time to eliminate any and all discrepancies on my part. I have also done a md5 hash check on the ROM itself so I know I have a good download.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
I was including internal and stock Google firmware full 8.0 or 8.1. I've had issues when my internal hadn't been cleaned up in a long time.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aaroncal:
I will give that a shot as I really like the support within this thread and appreciate the insight. BTW other than the hotspot fiasco I am having the ROM runs nice and smooth.
