I decided to go with arter97 patched YT

https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-patched-ad-free-youtube-apks-t3449312

And this maybe super obvious to many but we have some background playback built in to Nougat. Utilize multi-window and you can browse wherever you like. The YouTube video will keep playing in the background. Only thing you can't do is turn off the screen.

***Sidenote--Im surprised the apk cant be modified to allow this. Seems like it'd just involve changing to code to something like "keep audio alive" or prevent the power button from pausing YT.

But if there are coders reading this they can probably tell Im not one of them. And Google most likely blocked the ability to do simple changes like that.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Another option for YT background playback--BROWSER

Doesn't really matter which browser you use, but for simplicity Id choose one that does NOT need to go into desktop mode to play with screen off (because desktop sites tend to look really bad on phones).

-bookmark YT

-save it to homescreen

-edit the icon w something nice (bookmark icon's usually ugly)

-install adaway

The result will hopefully be something people find comparable to xposed mods....

***I still use Chrome beta as my main browser. The second browser will only be used to bookmark and play YT. If people are interested please share which browser they think looks and performs best for YouTube. Thanks

hey guys, i see more and more roms coming without either root/supersu or that busybox thingie?

and V4A gives me issues at times, i will be downloading that aroma one , i would like to know whether the latest RR official one comes pre-rooted or not, so that i know if i have to flash supersu zip :l

and also it has OMS now ? if yes i am back to RR.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
I'm really seeing poor results in terms of battery life with N compared to Marshmallow.

Currently using DU 11.1 Flash kernel, Drunksauce

I haven't had time to get a thorough breakdown through better battery stats, but it's clearly eating up more power.

My daily routine is pretty consistent. Before I leave the house I have 100%. I listen to audio podcasts for approximately 45 minutes on the drive (screen off). Usually this results in 3-5℅ drop. But now its more like 12-15%

Any recommendations?
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
You can get background playback on the normal app from the play store by using the custom patch with lucky patcher. I don't think you can get both though as I couldn't get both
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
I'm using DU 11.1 with Flash kernel and wingoku 2.1. Used Spotify for about 40 min with Bluetooth headphones. Mostly had screen off and battery only dropped 4%. You should use a battery monitor to look for anything abnormal.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
I have BBS installed but haven't had time to get a good reading yet. This was a clean install and no apps were restored (just installing one at a time from playstore and running very few apps, only essential stuff). So it's surprising my battery goes so fast, but I'll look into it.

How's wingoku in terms of performance? Any noticeable difference? Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
For my usage performance has been a bit better with wingoku.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
I'm liking this wingoku also!
[Nexus 6P General] burningcreation:
Same here! :D
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
Interesting. When you open it in Lucky patcher is there an option to remove Google ads?

Only ask because I tried it with my already patched version but it doesn't give the option to apply a custom patch. However I can apply "remove Google ads" but of course thats redundant since it's already been patched.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Removing Google ads doesn't work for it. I dont know why you don't have custom patch option. I made a modified version of YouTube with the custom patch for you. Download it from here for background playback.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
There's nothing to download...

Can this be used with arktube. ?

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 AM ----------

Think I must give du another chance.

Loving megapixel rom with the following

Franco kernel

Ark tube

Latest arise 2.78 aroma with holy sh+% Preset and ice 2

Nx cam (freaking amazing) shame about our 810 chip which is sh/%

Solid Explorer

Showbox (:angel:)

Pulsar (best music player ever) similar to LG one which I miss.

Amazon apk to install Amazon video so I can use my prime video account

Magisk and Magisk hide so I can use my banking apps

Franco kernel app for high bright mode..

Anyone recommend a great stable rom with no bugs? Fancy a change guys. Another massive thanks to op as this thread is friendliness all over :)
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Why not Neutron player and yes ark tube should be fine
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:
Because Neutron looks old and dated like power amp. No lie the layout and fonts and images make my eyes sore... I have very sensitive eyes. It's also so confusing. Player pro is also really great

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

Sorry I forgot thanks so much for the link. Peace.

Your download failed (::
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I agree Neutron is confusing and the layout is **** but what about the audio quality? Do you know if there is a difference? What do you mean Download failed? I tried the link and it worked fine. Do you want me to send it again?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
DU 11.1 official build with Flash kernel is rock solid. Haven't had any issues. Usually look for different ROMs to try but I'll be sticking with DU for a while.
[Nexus 6P General] wgrant:
Has anyone tried Velocity? Saw it on AFH tonight and the name has peaked my interest lol

Meh, looks like it's a minimalist rom. Not a ton of features but reportedly it's quick. I'm all about features. May flash if I get some free time though.
[Nexus 6P General] BIRD BOLT:
I use WETA rom on my nexus 6P in combination with elemental x kernel and DarkspiceR 7.5 profile. My battery life is amazing, and everything is smooth. My phone actually feels fast. When I got it, I used it on all the beta versions of nougat before the final release, and it was always laggy, so I never got to experience the phone the way it was meant to be used. Nougat got me terrible battery life, and stuttering, etc. I then discovered WETA, a rom for audiophiles which was on Android 7.1.1 with some Google pixel features. The audio is BEAUTIFUL. The audio customization options are abundant (viper4android and dolby atmos) and nice to play with, plus I use NX Camera, a modded version of the stock camera app which is similar to the Pixel's version. It has no shutter delay, and is smoother than the stock version I remember from android 6. I highly recommend this rom if you listen to music a lot on your phone. Now, with this I can actually go to class everyday without my charger. Before, I'd leave at 8 am and need to recharge around 11 or 12, but now, at 4 I've still got around 30% or so. Plus, my phone doesn't randomly heat up anymore.
[Nexus 6P General] KLit75:
Workaround for YouTube background playback!

Download Blackr from playstore. Pro features are now free!

...If you have questions Id be happy to help but it's pretty self explanatory. If you want YT background plackback, this is the best option so far imho
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:
Can download other files no issue... Click free download and get the below.
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:

[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Try this and what about the sound quality between the 2 music players
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:
I use viper.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Yeah I know but you need a music player regardless of if you use Viper or not
[Nexus 6P General] TrainNanpaMaster:
This man speaks the truth, and he knows what he's talking about. Neutron is the best music player and it sounds considerably better, than pulsar. A nice looking UI is nice, but it's not what is most important in a music player, in my humble opinion.

You're not looking at a music player for incessant mounts of time, you're listening to it. The audio quality on neutron is far and away better. There's a reason audiophiles use Neutron.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
I appreciate it, I was sure Neutron had the best audio quality but I wish they had a better ui. Surely someone has created a custom version of Neutron with a better ui? Do you use 64bit? Also I tried copying an EQ preset from the arise thread to Android, data, then the Neutron folder but it always fails. Any idea why? The theme works fine.
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:
I like pulsar with latest arise and ice 2, holy shi) Preset and some other small changes in viper. I don't like power amp or Neutron as change music and look at music player a lot. Sound suits me and sounds great. People should use what they like best.

Did you not like PN? Seems similar
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
I still like PN. My backup phones (N6 and 5x) are still on PN. I just prefer DU for my main phone since it has some extra features like fling, pulse, built in update app, OmniSwitch and flash notification. Performance and battery life has also been quite good with Flash kernel.
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:
Nice. What vendor image are you currently using on the Latest weekly 11.1 du.
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:

[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Imagine if this were our reality now? An old device, also made by Huawei, Android 2.3.6. it is now my alarm clock, bedside flashlight & sometimes recording device. 20 days on a charge with more to spare! On airplane mode
[Nexus 6P General] natec003:
Lol that's awesome! I have an S4 Running 7.1 that I use to stream music in my home gym that I can get 2.5 weeks out of on airplane mode. I'm impressed on 2.3.6 though. There's no way my HTC thunderbolt could do that ha
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
You're using it more, streaming music during a workout, unless you do so for 5 minutes a day lol. Point is, all this talk about battery life expectancy diminishing over time sounds like fiction by comparison.
[Nexus 6P General] natec003:
I was saying my 2.5 weeks is great considering I stream for an hour or so per day on a device that's like 4 years old on the original battery lol. My thunderbolt battery on the other hand sucked from the very beginning...thats what got me into rooting/tweaking.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
Hi guys, something weird is going non with pure and nitrogen ROMs. I lose the volume rocker and finger sensor sometimes works and sometime doesn't.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
I thought that finger sensor issue was kernel related.... Either way, it responds faster when I implement touch boost
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Anyone use PURE****? WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT AND HOLY****?
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
I wonder why my volume rocker gets disabled.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Chad's uber and faster angler has no problems
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
What ROM? I've seen setting for that in nitro.
[Nexus 6P General] Mikey:
I'm on Pure now...I have a backup of Nitrogen also. They are both the same.
[Nexus 6P General] redduc900:
Normally the volume rocker issue is related to TalkBack and the Switch Access setting under Accessibility. As far as the fingerprint sensor issue, make sure both CPU governor's are set to Interactive.
[Nexus 6P General] ipmanwck:
Been trying Neutron again. Firstly I totally forgot the audio is amazing %/++/ no joke like really amazing... The highs just amazing. I selected 64bit on PN rom and initially had a constant buzzing so restart sorted that. I still maintain the layout and user friendly Ness is pure shocking. Enough to make me not want to use it which is so annoying..... Another issue is I was testing a wav file and it won't recognise the tracks?

I wish the dev would clean the app up as it's so good in audio quality but totally let down by accessibility and ugliness. I mean no offence just truth.
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Sorry man, was away. I really dont know. Good luck
[Nexus 6P General] ahmed534:
anyone having hotspot tthering issue ?

Tethering does turn on and it does work to an extent but it'll either turn off whenever it wants or it'll simply stop serving requests. There is not a set amount of time for either before experiencing the issue. I'm pointing this issue directly at the tethering aspect as the phone will always browse and do anything as expected even tho the tethering clients are unable to. Even when the clients are unable to browse I can still ping the exact website that will not load. I can even curl those pages and get data back..

Here's what I've tried:

- Disabled adblocker on the phone

- Kept phone awake

- Connected to the charger

- Disconnected from the charger

- added net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop

- Nuked and paved with different ROMs

Installing a different tethering app also produced the same results !
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
[MENTION=4587163]ipmanwck[/MENTION]

I've used Neutron for years and kind of gotten used to the UI. It's not great but changing some of the colors and background can improve the overall look quite a bit. IMO, the exceptional audio quality more than makes up for the UI.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
32 or 64 bit?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
I use 32 for battery life.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Is 32 better for battery life but would sound be better with 64 and would it only use more battery when using the app and playing music through it?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Yup. Noticed it makes a difference with battery life when playing music for 1+ hrs.

How can I enable wifi calling? Resurrection remix ROM

Schwarz und Weiss wie Schnee
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Go to settings and select search. From the search option search wifi or WiFi calling. If it is there then tap it and enable it. If it doesn't show up then it isn't in that rom. It is in Chad's uber but I don't know about resurrection remix.
[Nexus 6P General] Samuel Holland:
Yes, I installed with the latest pure nexus and my screen looks amazing.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Would someone be able to share if what settings and services you disable if you use services please. I've had the app for ages but never used it properly. Thanks:)

That's gr8. My friend has a 3t and I miss the power of it but there r couple of things for me holding on to 6P

1. DUAL speakers (In love with it )

2.Diaplay. I travel a lot and I used to watch movie and this bigger qhd screen works better for me.

3.Camera. it's the SD810 making the camera slow but give it some time it's on par with pixel.

4. (Imp) that I will see Android O sometime around April. (First from all )

[Nexus 6P General] nicholasknicks:
Doesn't change the call screen
[Nexus 6P General] mukesh22584:
Correct...

No any substratum theme is able to change that...Sorry mate...[emoji20]
[Nexus 6P General] Balthazard:
Heeyy you guys! I'm in need of some advice. I keep swapping Roms daily but lack the time to do so. The reason why I do swap a lot is because I still haven't found a rom that has all the options I want.

I'm searching for a lightweight rom with the following options.

- Full Substratum 7 OMS support.

- screen recorder (with a Shortcut to the power button)

- navbar cursor arrows

- full and partial screenshot options

- customizable statusbar (left clock and date and battery % text)

Of course being stable and battery friendly is nice to have. Also any sound mod that actually improves calling would be appreciated.

If anyone has these options in his/her setup would you be so kind to share?

PS. I tried PureNexus but somehow WhatsApp gets a lot of delays.

Nitrogen lacks the video recorder. And Resseruction Remix has a unstable Substratum. Cortex and the kind lack the customization.
[Nexus 6P General] DEVILOPS 007:
Try dirty unicorns. It is highly recommended and seems to be better than most roms. I'm on Chad's uber as it is faster and probably better battery but doesn't have all those features but I personally prioritise speed, performance and battery over those features you want. For you I highly recommend dirty unicorns:)
[Nexus 6P General] smatherlee01:
Not sure if either have all those features at this moment, but have you checked ABC or SIX ROM?
[Nexus 6P General] Balthazard:
Thank you for the advice! I tried DU but somehow I keep getting the vendor error. There is nowhere where I can find which version I need to use.

I'm now on NUF26K. Which one do I need?

---------- Post added at 08:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Six is based of PureNexus so WhatsApp doesn't respond to well with it. As for ABC Rom. I don't know that one. Is there a Google plus page? Or something where the required vendor is written?

I'm on latest DU 11.1 using N4F260 vendor image with no issues.
[Nexus 6P General] Balthazard:
Thank you! I'm gonna try it and take a look at ABC Rom. Both look really promising!

As for the kernel. I'm in doubt about Franco and Flash. I'm really satisfied with the speed my 6P is giving me. So I'm really concentrating on battery life. Anyone got any opinions about battery focused kernel?
[Nexus 6P General] seabro01:
Franco is known for being battery friendly. Been getting good performance and battery life using Flash with wingoku 2.1 profile.
[Nexus 6P General] wgrant:
Tesla by Ground Zeeo has all of that, it's snappy and battery has been good for me so far. Worth a test. Newest roms from GZ come with Magisk and use 26O vendor so don't flash supersu.

nitrogen 7.1 or pure nexus 7.0 ? which one should i install i want 3d touch and new calling screen

edit: i am using digitalhigh rom now but i dont like it and i heard abc rom first time should i install it ?
[Nexus 6P General] ahmed534:
dont hesistate to try new roms. there is no "best rom" or "bad" rom, it depends on users.

"3D touche" like feature is not rom related, it is launcher related, you will get it with piwel launcher.

I advise you to try both ROMS for some day and you will decide yourself wich one suits your needs the most.

hope that help you !
