Tbh apple has been impressive with their UI ever since the only issue I have with them is they hoard money and the lack of customizability/availability that Android has.

I would be all-over custom roms if they do implement new and innovative features. Not the old battery notification light, network speed indicator; its been years and we're all past those.

Of course I have ti say it. AOSPA is an exception. Once they release O, I'd be all over that baby (they have the most well polished and well thought innovative features up to this day ever since). Also, I'd want to just add PIE on the stock rom's navbar because its slock af.

Personally, I don't see the need to be on stock ROM. There seem to be so many custom ROMs with better stability, performance and battery life and features. Are there any actual benefits of stock?
[Nexus 6P General] phantom146:
Less bugs and OTA.

Plus you get to be a special snowflake for using stock on xda ?
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Yeah, that makes sense but I get less bugs on some custom ROMs but not all. Also, OTA breaks root so it seems less convenient than just dirty flashing once a month or so for vendor updates but I guess it depends on if you are happy to use stock ROM and no root which I could never do. Also, I just wanted to say that I just realised that I never got back to you about the results from testing your hexacore profile. I've been so ****ing busy and forgot about it and being on holiday with WiFi only at one or two bars for a week wasn't great. I'll post them tomorrow in a pm assuming you're still wanting them.:)

I'm surprised you're srill using them :cowboy: I think my big cluster is broken for whatever reaso I am having a hard time getting to higher frequencies. Its locked up on the lowest frequency which is meh.
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
hey guys, since how long have you owned your 6p ?

i ask because i would like to know how it is holding up for you?

many people got that battery bug where their phone will turn off when it hits 15-30% battery life.

and the only way to fix is replacing battery i believe (this is a real hassle, the battery at least is very cheap) but still to have to go through the hassle of opening it up (for clumsy guys like me, we might damage the actual phone if not extremely careful and patient).

i have mine since well over 10months ago, i love this phone and i will be hoping that it won't cause me any nuisance for at least another year.

if it holds out more i will keep it (this is my most fav phone i have owned period).

patiently waiting for some custom Oreo rom !
[Nexus 6P General] nicholasknicks:
Has anyone used MicroG i would like to try it on Carbon Rom ....will it work?
[Nexus 6P General] Kapak13:
Gone 2 years with mine and haven't had the *knocks on wood* battery issue.

I still love my 6P, but something inside me is saying I may be slightly interested in the pixel2. That is, if it ever drops in price haha
[Nexus 6P General] greyhd:
Same here. Two years and no issues. I still believe it has to do with Rom/Kernel combo, but others will say it's the battery.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Well there is plenty of proof that a degraded battery is causing it. Many people don't take care of how they charge their phone and overcharging and then start complaining even though they aren't taking care of it. It's like you not feeding your pet and then it dies and you complain lol. Not that animal death is funny because it really isn't but you know what I'm saying lol;)
[Nexus 6P General] Kapak13:
These manufacturers need to allow us access to the battery bay again. If we could replace our batteries, we'd have a lot less returns. But I can see how you holding onto your phone longer means that you didn't buy the new phone blah blah blah.

We need to be able to swap batteries again. I miss my note3
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
I bought my 6P new about a year ago. No issues with battery (99% on Accubattery) or anything else but I've done my best to prevent battery from degrading early. Probably only fully charged less than 5 times, rarely let it drain below 25% and don't use phone while charging. Also have other phones that I use (OP3T and N6), so my 6P isn't always heavily used throughout the day.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
I still got my note 2! Running mm rom
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
so true, i am quite careful with mine regarding charging.

i usually only charge my phone when it hits 8% - 35% < around this percentage is when i start to plug it in the official charger and i leave it until it fully charges and then i unplug, i never even once kept it plugged overnight.

glad to know that some of you have owned the 6p since 2years and is holding out well.

i might also be interested in a pixel 2 (only when it drops price ofcourse haha).

and also if it comes with these sweet sweet dual speakers.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I've found out that the battery charge limit app is so useful. Do you know how many times I've been able to use it overnight and on holiday while I'm at the pool without fear of overcharging? It's become one of the most mportant apps on my phone now!
[Nexus 6P General] Namorbrowneyes:

[Nexus 6P General] Namorbrowneyes:
Thank you ?
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
i thought so too haha.

he is my favourite healer hero !

sadly i have an OW addiction ( i play 2-5hours on a daily basis) :crying:

and btw. about that charging app limit , what percentage do you lock it at ?

80, 90 ?

and why exactly is it bad to fully charge it ?

i did read that (fully charging) could be bad for battery life but alot of people say that it is bs and does not apply for the current gen batteries.

and i am actually OCD about not fully charging, i always want to see 100% before unplugging, i do this with every of my tech devices.

e.g vita/3ds/switch/ds4 controllers etc.

always fully charging.

and also plus, if i do not fully charge my 6p it wont reset the battery stats (i often want to see how much battery life i am getting!)

because i test out profiles at times.

for instance i tried going without any profile 2 days ago and would only get around 4h sot with 1-2days standby time.

yesterday i fully charged and am on Saber V2 profile and now i almost have 5h sot with 20% battery left.

battery life is strange for me, because sometimes i do not use anything other than leandroid/naptime and i get great results and sometimes i just do not unless i also use some custom profile.

i am excited for how OREO goes !!

can't wait for our fav roms to get oreo builds.

Ok. I've been using the battery charge limiter, going from 40-81% and it's been working beautifully thanks to [MENTION=6898873]sriharshaarangi[/MENTION] !

So, I wanted to drain battery and re-calibrate. You know, to 100% one time? Dudes, it went to zero (0%) before shutting down! Is this normal/common?
[Nexus 6P General] Bryanx86:
Mine is actually at 3% right now for the first time ever. On stock Oreo it goes atw down where it used to shut down before it got to 10%. It seems Google has recalibrated some things for our battery.:)
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
I'm still on nougat-crDroid ROM. I thought it was supposed to shut off at 1%. So, Oreo improved your battery situation? I was hoping for that.
[Nexus 6P General] Bryanx86:
Yes , Oreo makes it seem like I went and bought a new phone. It's great, finally!
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Great to hear!
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
After going between 6P and OnePlus 3T over past months finally decided to go with 3T as my main phone. I'm sure I'll miss the camera and front speakers in certain situations. Don't really notice any significant screen difference even though 3T is just full HD. The 3T is quite a bit faster and gets much better battery life with stock Oxygen OS and custom kernel. Everything else seems comparable or better on 3T.

Hmmmm, interesting. I'm on the latest nitrogen build, and my battery life has been very good using EX kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] Jason123420:

[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:

[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
isn't the latest NitrogenOS O test builds only ?

i am ocd, and still want to wait for some official builds.

not test.

how is it performing though? any hiccups?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Yes, they currently are test builds, however, they are very good builds! Sure there's a couple issues with some of the special features, but, it is certainly more than good enough for a daily driver. :good:

Does anyone have a link for the September Vendor IMG for Nexus 6p Nougat?
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:

[Nexus 6P General] SGE_DEW:
Yes there is Dirty Unicorn but the September vendor img is included.
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Then just extract it from the DU rom.
[Nexus 6P General] SGE_DEW:
Yep I installed the rom and like it
[Nexus 6P General] fLipz:
they are using the August Nougat N2G48C for their September build. they just added the September security update.
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
thx man!

anything special i have to do to update to oreo ?

or is it as simple as always and just need to flash the oreo vendor (provided in the nitrogen os thread).

also are there any new radio/bootloaders out ? (for oreo i guess ?)
[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
What I did was to flash the stock factory image first with fastboot, and completely wiped the phone, internal storage included. Went through a minimal setup on 8.0. Added all my files back to my internal storage. Then fastbooted TWRP, went to TWRP using the phone buttons, flashed SU, then flashed the rom, gapps, SU again, then EX kernel. Booted up and set it up. Have had no trouble at all with anything. I know it sounds like overkill, but it's worth it to me to take the extra time and do it right :good:

Oh and yes, 03.74 is the new bootloader. 03.84 is the same radio as the last nougat build.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Yeah, I'm just about ready. Got you instructions. Got the chute strapped to my back but, what the heck, who needs it? Can I ask you a lazy question? Got a link to stock? I know I could find it in the time it takes to type this. If u gotta look again don't worry abt it lol. I'll prolly do it on the weekend...

[Nexus 6P General] Badger50:
Go get em Hoss! :good:
[Nexus 6P General] leondestiny:
thank you ! i will do the same as you, fresh start is best for a completely new android i guess!

haven't wiped my 6p since like 8months now, i think i only once (accidentaly had wiped it by flashing some rom).

i plan to stay on oreo , because i did also stay on Nougat all the way through!

i tried going back to MM once but i could not stay on it as i was too used with Nougat (felt faster/better to me dont know why).

and i bet it is the same with Oreo.

thus a complete clean upgrade is best imo. as well.

but how did you access twrp after you flashed the stock img, through fastboot (cmd)?

i dont remember ever doing that though, but i do know how to flash a twrp img using cmd fastboot (if this is what you mean then i understand!).

and also one more thing, when i flash the stock img with fastboot, will it automatically wipe the internal storage ?

or do i do that while i am in twrp ?

so after i wipe everything , i guess i reconnect my phone and put everything back (or should i just put rom/kernel/gapps etc back) flash rom and after i set it up then copy everything back?

thanks!

Oreo advice. While we're tinkering around here and there trying to tweak things "just right" - it might be a good idea to always have a RECENT TWRP backup handy. Me? I just restricted play services from keep awake and run in background, or something like that, with AP ops and then my phone refused to boot. Luckily I had a 2 day old backup on hand.

Little update for you all... I'M STILL AROUND...from time to time

For real though, was on stock, like stock stock for a minute. Everything was great. Just those pesky ads here and there.

Decided to try lineageOS for the first time. ... Not my cup of tea.

I got 1 hour and 45 minutes of screen on time from 100% battery (I let everything settle too, no new apps aka rogue apps or anything)

Gave that one up pretty quick.

Went ahead with superXE- Not a bad room, but didn't perform as smoothly or as battery friendly as stock... Not sure why.

All in all, I finally stopped at stock, but with root and YouTube adaway (it works again, yay!!!) And good ol adaway.

BTW, I also tried the MOAab host. Not sure if it's working, but whatever, other ad blockers have my back for now.

Hope you're all doing well, this thread seems quiet lately. Did Oreo convince you all to go stock too?

Welcome back! I've been running Oreo Nitrogen for a while. I think 2 weeks, I got to check the nougat backup date to be sure but believe it or not, I love it. Speedy, stable battery good. Got to put a lock down on some of the Google play stuff though. I get abt 5-6 hrs. And I'm on EXKM. Stay off the stock! '----'
[Nexus 6P General] Kapak13:
Ok ok, ELI5 me here. How did you get the play stuff on lock to get up to 6 hours?
[Nexus 6P General] burningcreation:
Can you please give me a bit more information on this? Where can I get it?
[Nexus 6P General] Kapak13:
Before I begin, go to the play store and go to settings. Turn off app auto update (it will bring the ads back)

Here http://arter97.com/browse/youtube/adaway/

Choose arm 64 for 6p

Download the nodpi version

Go here http://arter97.com/browse/youtube/ and download the YouTube installer

Leave both files in your downloads

Extract the nodpi zip

Uninstall any YouTube app you currently have

Reboot to twrp

Go to downloads

Flash YouTube installer

It will find the APK that was extracted from the nodpi zip in the download folder and install it

Reboot

???

Profit

To update when a new version comes out, just delete the old APK and extract the new nodpi zip and repeat
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
An app called my Android toolbox. I got the pro version. Funny thing is, the settings don't stick now as they did in nougat. I have to reapply with every reboot.

When you get it (if):

Go to broadcast receiver/system.

Look for Google play.

Type in search: meas then, disable three measurement receivers.

Do the same for analytics in the same section, there are 2.

That advice came from my friend [MENTION=6638584]phantom146[/MENTION] - I recently added another item. System update services.

That is in service/system, not broadcast receiver.

Also, I got app ops play store version

And

Recently switched off Nova (sadly)

It seems to be a battery hog.

Any other tips will be welcome.

EDIT: PS - always keep a recent backup on hand in case disabling an aspect of play services causes your masheen not to boot. It's happened to me twice already lol

[Nexus 6P General] Kapak13:
I didn't go the accubattery route, but it's done it a few times now. I'm also just been hypnotized by the Pixel 2. Since 8.0 came out, I really have lost my will to root and flash roms. I have tried just about every rom and find myself wanting stock. Mostly battery life, but also the extra stuff is a lot to keep up on anymore (for me). I've also had this phone for about 2 and a half years now and still clinging onto my Nexus 6.. time to upgrade haha

[Nexus 6P General] Kapak13:
Ah yeah, I haven't put much thoughts towards them. I was thinking Samsung for a little bit, but the comparisons on the cameras is no comparison. Pixel just owns it. Plus the 2 year updates and option to root and mod makes pixel stand out to me. I'll take the lack of curved screen for now. Maybe the Pixel 3 or 4 will have it.

In all honesty, I'm finding myself on the fence a bit about my purchase. Mostly due to the price tag, but damn, the benefits I see out of the price really just about makes it alright.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
What is the price on that and how long do you expect to have it? If you don't mind my asking....?
