Not necessarily. If your installing the rom for the first time then definitely yes. If your just updating the rom to the monthly security updates and bug fixes, then usually wiping dalvik, cache, and system is all that's required before flashing the rom update. Although, there are many that like to "clean flash" every rom update. Which is always a good way to go. Personally speaking, over my 2+ years with the 6p, I always "dirty flashed" my monthly rom updates without issues. Having said that, as good SOP, always backup, and save your backup to your pc before flashing anything. You never know what can go wrong ?

What's the difference between the custom and the stock version? What features are included?

To all it may concern I "#@ked up and accidentally did bullhead, the file has been deleted and any vendor issues can be fixed by restoring your old one or flashing. I myself even flashed the vendor. Here is the correct angler files from Feb.

This had been asked a ton of times, I've answered it at least two times already. Please use the search function in the future.

The difference is one is based on the factory image, with a bunch of add-ons baked into an aroma installer you can choose or remove.

The custom build is built strait for source, no aroma installer, so it is pure vanilla
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Subhojit:
Dirty flashed (wiped cache) February build including latest vendor but shows January build and get vendor error at startup.

Do I need to clean flash?

I can confirm: now playing function doesn't work. Even with always on display active, now playing still doesn't work.

With this function working, rom will reach perfection. [emoji3]

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aeonxul:
Well, after the rom settled and now that I've been using it for two days, I can say that it is definitely a lot better when night light is enabled, though definitely not as smooth as when it's disabled but still fine and perfectly usable. I tried setting a schedule and the performance was the same.

For Franco's night shift we must have his own kernel to be able to updated with his own app, is that right? Because with the stock kernel I cannot see the night shift option in Franco's beta app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gomaling:
Yes his kernel and Franco kernel manager. After your post I checked to see if it was happening to mine and I just wasn't noticing. After looking explicitly for what you mentioned, I did notice a bit of a lag right when I enabled it for about 15 secs, but then it subsidies. In Dev options try turning window and transition animation scale to 0 and setting duration to 1x.. That seemed to nullify any lag in the ui after nightlight

I'm using the latest version of this ROM, Feb security patch, and having issues with tethering. It works but I got an email from Sprint saying that I'm about to hit my 10gb limit. I've never had this issue, coming from from the latest PN ROM. Is there anything I can do or do have have to flash my backup of PN?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
How much data did you use?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] daswahnsinn:
Around 9.1gb. When I was on PN I could use up to 100gb with no warning, so I was just wondering if this ROM reports it back.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
This does not make sense to me. I don't think ROMs have the capability to hide the amount of data going through your provider's servers.

The 10 gig limit warning was valid then.

I'm not sure how you could use 100 gig and no one noticed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] daswahnsinn:
I have only gotten this email twice before, I had to a line the build.prop, 'net.tether.noprovisioning=true' to get tethering working. Then I had to adb shell this line 'settings put global tether_dun_required 0'. Took me awhile to find the second bit.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LuisJugo33:

Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] daswahnsinn:
No he visto un mensaje como ese mostrando cualquier ROM. Creo que sería mejor volver a descargarlo y actualizarlo. Lo siento usando Google translate.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
Try this vendor
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LuisJugo33:
now I try. you can flash the rom first and then the vendor

he probado todas las formas posibles y no consegui solucionar el problema :( por ahora voy a usar rom stock de android hasta que encuentre una solucion.. no logro entender que hago mal
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
My apologies I thought it was the stock ROM you where having issues with. I think I used the provided vendor from stock SuperXE when I flashed the custom SuperXe.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LuisJugo33:

I have this rom installed in my Nexus 6p and today I received a ota update, What should I do? Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bcuraman:
The problem is with the vendor image. Supposedly we are running February security patch, but on the system it is still listed as January. So you have to use January vendor image ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
[MENTION=823251]cile381[/MENTION] the vendor provided for stock doesn't work but if you flash Januarys vendor it does?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] borxnx:
Download the vendor image that corresponds to the version of this ROM that you are running. I believe someone provided you a link a few posts above and place it into your adb/platform-tools folder on a PC. Reboot to bootloader, use fastboot command

fastboot flash vendor --slot all vendor.img

If you've tried installing the vendor already and it didn't work, it's possible that you flashed it to the wrong slot. This command will flash the image to both slots, ensuring that it's installed in the correct location.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
This message that your device being corrupt is normal with an unlocked bootloader. We all have it. It's actually a badge of honor!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] RazGame:
[MENTION=823251]cile381[/MENTION], Thanks for ROM! I installed custom ROM, and it cool!

But I found some bugs, I hope you can fix it on next realize!

1) Sound of making screenshot sounds as AOSP, not Pixel

2) Function music around (as at Pixel 2 at lockscreen) not work for me

3) When nightmode is active, phone starts lag
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
1. - not a bug, its he sounds he chooses to use

2. - if you're talking about it listing song names playing near it, also not a bug. That feature is built specifically for the pixel, there's no way to add it. Check the play store and see if there's something similar. Even if someone could back port it from the pixel to the 6p, this is source built vanilla.

3. - no answer for this, I use substratum themes
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jimbomodder:
That's Google's fault, but ithink superxe is running the latter
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aircraft800:
I had the corrupt message too (I'm not talking about the unlocked bootloader message) on the stock build with Amora installer, switched to the custom build after a full wipe and problem went away. I couldn't find a vendor that worked for me, but the custom build had the vendor baked in.

SN will not pass when exposed is enabled.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nexus Radical:
Ah, thanks! So is the point of a "systemless" xposed meant to be that it will pass the framework when disabled? and pretty much never enabled? Damn I had so much hope :laugh:

Yeah, unfortunately, you can't have both enabled at the same time. At least not now anyway. There's a lot of explanation on the matter in this thread if you want to have a look.

guys do i have to clean install if im coming from previous release but from this rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
You don't "have to". However, most Devs will always recommend a clean flash. Many just wipe cache/dalvik, then flash the update, custom kernel, and root . That's pretty much what I did for 2 years with the 6p without issues. The choice is yours of course.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cloud36426:
I have said log if you would like to look it over. It only seems to happen when the phone has a long timer set and it hasn't been used for a while. I set a few 10 minute timers and it didn't recreate the issue. However setting a 20 minute timer and leaving the phone alone the whole time caused it again. X

Flashed ex kernel.

Newest bootloader / radio.

I have no data during a phone call.

I was previously on the custom build, and data worked during a call.

Any help?

A few things to try.

Toggle airplane mode a few times.

Reset your APN's.

Remove lock screen security and reboot.

Power off, remove sim, power up, power off replace sim, power up.

Change network preference from global to CDMA, GSM etc..etc.

Hello, i haven't seen this rom untill now, and i don't know much about it.

1. What is the diference between the stock rom and this one?

2. Does it have always on display like the pixel 2?

3. Also, is this looking like the pixel 2 with blue accents and so on?

;) :eek: lol if you read seriously 1 or 2 pages you will see multiple answers for the same question that is asked weekly.

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

I tried those things and nothing worked.

Flashed newest boot loader and radio.

Dirty flashed rom.

Typed *#*#4636#*#* and checked in there. The VoLTE provisioning and the other VoLTE are switched off and when I switch them on the just go back off.

It also says ims not registered.

I logged into my vzw and turned off hd voice for 20 mins rebooted the phone. Then activated hd voice waited 20 minutes and rebooted the phone.

Either something is missing in this rom with it to work with vzw? Or vzw won't let it work with it on their end.

I'll probably just flash the custom rom again since the hd voice and data during calls worked fine with that set up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ophilia:
hey,I'd like to install this time but I got a few questions as to I'm used to simple rom flashing.

1. what is vendor, how do I know if I need to install it or not and how do I install it? I see people are saying both ADB and TWRP. I know how to use TWRP but ADB no idea

2. do I need gapps for this?

3. for TWRP I need a 'bootloader' . I don't know what that is either

thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rizqi_ir:
you should do some research on google first, like what is vendor, what is bootloader, radio image, adb fastboot , etc before you enter advanced forum. or you should check nexus 6p general forum.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ophilia:
I really did do my best when it comes to research. I wouldn't have asked for help here if I understood. I expected some step by step instructions,or at least a link to something like that. but thanks for your reply :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] live4vball:
These are pretty beginner questions so I'm betting you'll get a lot of flack for posting them (do your research). Here's the skinny - if you've already flashed in TWRP on this device you can use it to flash the vendor (download the vendor image only from the IP, switch TWRP to .img from .zip when you're selecting a file to flash, flash to vendor partition). Gapps is baked in (at least as far as I remember it is). If you've already used TWRP you can disregard the bootloader. If you don't have TWRP you'll need to find the forum for it and follow the directions to get it installed (the toolkits are pretty seamless for this).

Battery consumption in stock-based ROM with aroma installer is the same as ROM stock 8.1? or have modifications that spend more battery? someone can clarify my doubt please.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
This is completely subjective.

Everyone will have a different experience.

In my case, stock with stock kernel gives me my best battery life.

You're going to have to test each for yourself to know.

Good luck ! :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LuisJugo33:
if I already know that it depends on the use and experience of each one. but I doubt if it is ROM with aroma has some modification that consumes battery. or are they just visuals? sorry for bothering
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
That's the nice thing about the aroma installer you get to choose which features you want to add or remove. I generally just add pixel and charging led. Nothing I've seen would make any major imapct on battery so your safe bet is stock version.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LuisJugo33:
Well now I'm testing the stock and it's going very well. what happens if you blocked the bootloader after installing? Do you lose the pixel mod?

ah bien ahora estoy probando la stock y va muy bien. qué pasa si bloqueó el bootloader después de instalar ? se pierde el mod pixel ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Exodusche:
No you wouldn't lose pixel mod but why would you want to lock it again? Its ok to leave it unlocked better that way if you ever get the dreaded BLOD.
