That is weird. As I write this comment using my Shamu's hotspot on my N7 2013, I can't say that I have this problem of yours. Did you do a clean flash?

I'm also using Beta 4.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrsg:
I don't even get why they removed that feature but for that reason alone I'm gonna hold off from 15.1. Did they ever give a reason because that's one of the most idiotic things I've seen in Android history and I've been on Android literally from the start.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Sorry to say that, but I just dropped my Nexus 6 and my screen is broken.

So I'm going to drop support for Nexus 6 as I'm not getting a new one.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePhenomenalOne1:
What does this mean for the future of Shamu? :( :( :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Muggins:
Sad to hear that. Thanks for your past work!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I really don't know. Perhaps npjohnson will maintain it.

N6 is still ~200 € in germany. It's too much for such an old phone
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rudder2:
Oh, no, I'm sorry to hear that. This will make the second ROM that has dropped support for the Nexus 6 that I switched to. So, does that mean the Official 15.1 build will not come out Monday? Will there be security patches? I hope someone picks up the Nexus 6 Lineage OS updates... I'm tied of wiping my phone with hope that the ROM creaters will stay up to date based on previous history just to have them drop support as soon as I make the switch. I thank you for all your hard work on this and if this project isn't continued I don't think I'm going to bother to change my OS again. It takes many hours to get my phone back to where I like it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Hello,

I would be willing to donate something so that Elektroschmock could buy a replacement device.

But others have to go along with it.

Many greetings
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rudder2:
I too am willing to donate to Elektroschmock for another Nexus 6! They are still such great phones and I haven't found another with the same screen dimensions! I love this phone's screen.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePhenomenalOne1:
I was so excited for monday to get official LOS 15.1 on our Shamu. But this news :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I you have a bad battery life on 2017 1 2 you'll have it on 2017 1 4 too. But it's not the ROM its a missbehaving app or a f...d-up GAPPS-package.

Dirty flashing is usually OK if everything was working before. If you have a borked system a cleaner flashing approach is the way to go.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] id242:
From recovery (TWRP 3.0.3-0), wipe System, Dalvik Cache, Cache.

Install lineage-14.1-2017xxxx-NIGHTLY-shamu.zip

Install open_gapps-arm-7.1-stock-2017xxxx.zip

Reboot.

First boot may take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on how many apps you have installed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] EasyDeath:
OK, I flashed as you told me. (new nightly +gapps)

The ROM seems to work fine, but I'm still not sure about battery, I'll update this post later.

EDIT:

1h 35 minutes screen on and still 75% battery

2h:30 minutes screen on and still 54% battery

4h:05 minutes screen on and 25% battery

using whatsapp, Facebook, chrome, WiFi only, no LTE
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
If you wanna see what battery is like... You have to get a couple of charge cycles without flashing again...

Nightly flashing don't make for good battery...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] LordDeath:
Does the current 20170104 build from Elektroschmock already include the January 2017 security fixes from Google?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] EasyDeath:
[MENTION=371565]LordDeath[/MENTION]

No
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] t3chwizard:
Um so [MENTION=5303006]electros[/MENTION]chmock today I was relaxing on the couch and I hear a beeping sound that seemed like a smoke detector. Turns out it was coming from my nexus 6. I checked notifications and there was nothing abnormal. I also know I didn't set any notifications to that noise. Either I got hacked or something else happened. I'm kinda scared and was wondering if anyone would have any idea what is causing this. Please help someone.

I should mention I flashed your NIGHTLY lineage OS build last week or so. So that is what I am running.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------

Please for the sanity of others in the forum quote who you are responding to.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ljnkshady:
anyone use TitaniumBackup on this ROM? I can't restore 3rd app, it stuck :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] LordDeath:
In the "Troubleshooting settings" select the interactive mode. This worked for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Every once in awhile my phone makes really obnoxious noises for "amber alerts". If I catch it quickly enough, there's some kind of transient alert message. But I've never been able to find any persistent record of the warning. Anyway, maybe that's what you were hearing?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ljnkshady:
thank you, btw I have updated stock 7.1.1 :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tnthd2:
Have been enjoying all the Unofficial builds a lot more than the previous CM nightlies, which had apps crashed left and right and everywhere. :)

There are two issues that may be related to the unofficial kernel, not sure if the dev already knows or not:

1- Phone powers off whenever the battery reaches 9℅. The reading changes from 9℅ to 2℅ almost instantly and the phone turns off immediately. 9℅ is more correct because that's what it shows when plugged in while still off.

2- The "Battery saver and performance" will crash the "Battery settings" page on every second time it is touched. It doesn't respond on the first touch.

Both issues have happened reproduceably many times, and may have the same common cause.

It's been running great otherwise. Thanks much for the good work!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Thanks for the feedback. I hope the issues you mentioned were fixed with

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/154844/

and

https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/153643/ but I haven't tested it yet as I don't usually run my batterie that low.

New UNOFFICAL build with January updates in my GDrive.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mario_Awe:
Hi,

I had the same problem with the power management settings constantly crashing. But I did a dirty flash from 160125 CyanogenMod to the 170104 with standard kernel.

Did a clean install of the 170104 unofficial and have no problems whatsoever (last 20-30 hours) and even the force closes of the last CyanogenMod nightly seem to be gone for good.

Thanks to the dev for the great work!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rivernov:
I guess we have to upgrade bootloader and radio from 7.1.1 stock before flash this new January nightly. Am I in the correct?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I'm using it with the older ones as I didn't have time to do it. But yes you should update them, as some security holes were fixed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Danvdh:
Quick question, is LineageOS branding this ROM or sticking with true to CM and not slapping their name everywhere in the settings menu? thats one of the things I always loved about Steve Kondik, he ALWAYS kept his ROMs looking neat and professional.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
I reckon it will be same as cm as it's the same guys just different name

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] timpohladthomas:
Anyone else having issues getting files to download from gdrive?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rvholla:
Does this means we wait for official version from lineage site only?

Alternatively can I flash other kernel over unofficial distribution?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It will get a build, on monday but I can't say how long I can maintain it. As the touchscreen is partly unresponsive.

I'll do my best, but I can't promise anything
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePhenomenalOne1:
So if I flash the official build that is released on Monday, who will maintain it after that and what will happen if someone can't?

And if someone can maintain will I need to clean flash the new build again?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] toto-w:
+1

I would donate 20€.

[MENTION=1730269]elektros[/MENTION]chmok:

Just send me a PN with your PayPal email address...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Me too
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
No thanks.

But I'd feel obliged to work on shamu if I'd accept that.

I have talked to npjohnson and he's going to maintain shamu as long as it's not too much work.

It's just a pitty that I've spent 100s of hours to get shamu runnig O and now I can't use it. :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] barbara-luise:
I would donate 20€ as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Kccitystar:
International Edition or the US version?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] toto-w:
European version.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SalvH:
I hope this is an early April Fool's joke :/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
It sadly isn't. I'm here for now to help keep it up and going.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SaZoN:
hmm..in my city used shamy are selling for 150$, i can by and send if we collect this money
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Well, I would say Oreo has reached an optimal level of stability, perhaps it's not going to be much work.

Very sorry to hear about your shamu, I'm still using mine as daily driver since I still can't find a suitable replacement.

Have you considered replacing just the screen?

Anyway, thanks for all the work you have done, very appreciated!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] alexhaj:
I can put $50. Just let me know where and when to send it. alexhaj@gmail.com
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] barbara-luise:
Here in Germany the average price for a used N6 on "eBay Kleinanzeigen" is between 90€ and 150€ (mainly depending on the amount of build in storage). So the costs for a replacement shouldn't be a deal breaker.

I personally wouldn't regret a donation of 20€ even if elektroshmock decides to cease support for the N6 in the future.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PerfectSlayer:
I could donate 20€/20$ too.

[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] And don't feel obligated to maintain the device. You said to be sad to not enjoy what you work hard and long for. So take it like a thanks. No obligation ;)

But if you prefer to change your phone and enjoy new device, I won't be offended.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flatwave:
Just put up a PayPal address and you'll get the money for a Nexus 6 in no time. I don't think the people donating will have any expectations for a time frame of support. We'll just donate as a "thank you" for all the hard work already done.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] stooone:
I will also donate 20 EUR just to say thank you!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] genti.b:
I'm with you on this :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
Guys, you need to realize that sometimes, those random things are able to push us to move on. N6 is ageing and I think Electroshmock tries to REALLY gracefully say that he just don't want to work on it anymore. I can fully understand that you can get tired of doing something for a prolonged time, especially if you accept money for it. Then, you just feel like it's your obligation and you may even start to despise the work you do.

[MENTION=8568276]Electroshmock[/MENTION] thanks for all your work, especially getting Oreo fully up and running. Even with you gone, maintaining a working version should not be tiresome and I hope we will get 15.1 updates as lang as it'll be feasible. Maybe someone really passionate about N6 who has required know-how will surface later to grace our beauty with Android P.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] flatwave:
You're probably right. No one is trying to push [MENTION=8568276]Electroshmock[/MENTION] into doing something he doesn't want. I guess we just tried to convince him that if money is a problem he shouldn't be worried, that's all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ethanhunt123:
Really sad to hear this, but I understand. This rom was the main reason I haven't moved on to a new device, but that time be approaching.

[MENTION=8568276]Electroshmock[/MENTION] just curious what device you are going to move to as your primary phone?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I have orderd a Xiaomi Mi 6, but my heart is still beating for shamu. :laugh:

Maybe we've come up with a solution. A nice user offered me his extra Nexus 6 he has.

If shipping to germany is not too expensive I'll start a Paypal Pool so that we can compensate him.

Perhaps this is an even better solution then before because my shamu was my daily driver and I couldn't test that much as I needed it working.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
I'm in Berlin and have no problem buying you an entire new Nexus 6, can have it on Tuesday or Wednesday and delivery next day to you as we are both in DE.

Will DM you later.

Which city in DE are you?

PS, you know of any shops that have it new in stock?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Yeehaw! That's *great* news! I'll definitely contribute to that. Let us know when you get the Paypal pool set up
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
Ordered, will come during the week, just DM me your shipping details [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION]

64gb blue one, new.

(will include you a case too haha)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] genti.b:
Gotta love this community man. Everyone trying to save the development of our Shamu... And cheers to you as well [MENTION=5930599]Exelios[/MENTION], you are a saver
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nemanja066:
In the future, keep the phone in case to save development.[emoji108][emoji12][emoji16]

Cheers all...

[emoji123]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Enigmafied:
Sorry to hear that you dropped your phone, and thank you for all your work, as well as everyone else who has contributed positively!

Just an FYI and I am sure you already know this but if your digitizer is no longer functioning but phone still works and can access display, you can use a bluetooth mouse to navigate the phone! :) Works well actually... lol

Donation sent.

That is absolutely awesome. Thank you very much! Good thinking on the case lol

Addition: Tempered glass screen protectors have saved friends, family, and myself a lot of times as well. Only kind of screen protector I will put on a phone anymore.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Abslolutely awsome! I don't have words for your generosity. :o

You have blocked DM/PM by the way.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
Doh, hahaha, I will DM you my email.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePhenomenalOne1:
Very very off-topic question. How does your Shamu has fingerprint reader? O.o
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
hehe it's okay, as my signature says I own the prototype 05, which was still supposed to ship with a fingerprint sensor, until Apple bought the company making the sensors just before the device went under mass production, that's why we had to ship the final hardware revision without the fingerprint reader, it was a bit sad, but I believe the N6 is a great phone nonetheless :)

(oh and yeah, I actually broke my fingerprint reader :( and it was never really supported in software anyway)

See the attached picture

(this is what the final version looks like inside https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Motorola...172733&hash=item281bf1f399:g:sdcAAOSwFe5X0c7g )
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePhenomenalOne1:
How did you get the prototype? And did it work?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
Yeah it worked with the original software the phone was developed on, some traces of code were still there in the public 5.1, but then as time went on software support was gone as the mass production device didn't have a fingerprint reader.

Now we are really off topic and should stick to discussing LOS here :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ThePhenomenalOne1:
Yes, your signature intrigued me so I had to ask. And also who wouldn't want our Shamu with a fingerprint read?

Many thanks to [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] for his hard work and continued support for our device.

And also to [MENTION=5930599]Exelios[/MENTION] without his contribution the future of our device might not have been too bright.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Muggins:
I'll be glad to donate to this. Please use a case this time ;) My N6 has slid out of my pocket several times getting out of low slung cars and is still mint. Case is a Spigen. My Nokia N900, LG G2X, and Nexus N4 are also unscathed. I fire them up every once in a while for nostalgia.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Dear Exelios,

I wanted to write you a PM but it's blocked.

Anyway, what you did is truly unbelievable...

This is the most generous action I have seen in years!!!

You represent the best there is in our community and even society in general...

Thank you so much in the name of all tech' enthusiasts !!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
Thanks Duttyend, that's nice of you :)

Even tho I don't think what I did is that amazing, Elektroschmock and Razorloves invested way way more time and effort then the 5min it took me to order a phone.

I had also sent a Mate 9 to phh for his Treble ROM in December, bought 2 HTC U11+ just to get it finally working with Treble for the community, and today U11+ finally booted a Treble ROM, also have a Razor phone incoming to kick start the development into a higher gear over there too.

I just do it because I love what I do and we all contribute in our own way and how we can, and the community lives on.

And the community lives on.

Have a good night all :)

Dream of long life to the Nexus 6!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Woah... Hats off to you!!!

Yes, you are right, [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION], [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION], [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] and the other contributors have been doing a tremendous work...

We don't value things enough until the day we lose them.

Have a great night and thanks again for being so awesome :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] barbara-luise:
My N6 currently runs stock Android 7.1.1. I'm planning to flash TWRP + official los 15.1 + proper GApps. Is there a beginners-friendly step-by-step guide recommended? Or should I just google one?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] moso11:
Try this official guide:

https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/shamu/install
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] barbara-luise:
Thanks. That's what I was looking for.

Another quick question regarding the GApps package. If I install MindTheGApps instead of OpenGApps I won't get the "extra functionality that is not available from the play store" which is mentioned on the OpenGApps website. What exactly does that mean?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] king:
Been a part of many communities

But ohh boii!

I have never seen such a enthusiastic one! :laugh:

Hats off to all these awesome guys:@razorloves [MENTION=1968442]elecktro[/MENTION]schmock [MENTION=5848265]npjohnson[/MENTION] for all the time invested into LOS for shamu which most of us users don't realize.

And especially [MENTION=5930599]Exelios[/MENTION] for being soo Passionate about the continuity of LOS for shamu :highfive:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razorloves:
New post on our site https://lineageos.org/Changelog-17/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
haha nice April fools :P
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] PartyPlease:
This extra functionality is simply opengapps installing non-standard gapps as system apps.

An example of this is installing chrome as a system app which enables webview to be used directly in the google search app.

However, I am not sure what mindthegapps installs and it may offer you no enhanced functionality.

Also you can just manually make these apps into system apps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Axios_:
Hello guys. Can I lock the bootloader after installing LineageOS 15.1 on the Nexus 6? I want to get a working Google Pay, but I do not need root. And if it's possible, can I get updates with a locked bootloader?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] taylormade629:
I re-locked on 14.1 and still get updates I'm sure 15.1 will work the same
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpertMC:
Google pay works with Magisk, no?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Axios_:
Yes, but I do not want to install root.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
You can install Magisk and disable root
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Axios_:
Ok, but after each update, will I have to reinstall magisk manually? If so, then I do not want it. I want to set up the phone once. I do not want to customize something in the phone after each update.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] genti.b:
No, you don't need to. The beauty of Magisk is that it will flash itself after each update that you make through TWRP. At least that was my experience.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
I confirm, you definitely don't have to flash Magisk after every update.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Axios_:
Thanks for the information guys. I will definitely try it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
Hey [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION] do you know what time today are the build servers running? (CET time lol)

Just so I know when to come by :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] umpireflux:
https://www.lineageoslog.com/build

The build should be available in about 9 hours probably
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
Thanks, so around 21:00 22:00 Berlin time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 8zabi:
thank you for your hard work Elektroschmock & razorloves

what is the status of the 15.1 su addon? i need root for adguard
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] felt26:
Thanks for the info.

Just want to know, if I want to update from 14.1 to 15.1, what should I do?

Do I need to do a clean flash in each update? (wipe the system)

What procedure should I follow in order to avoid the most of the pain? (e.g. keep the Magisk)

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpectedCrayon:
If I remember correctly, I believe you can download the OTA, and then boot into TWRP and flash it through there. Since it's an OTA, it won't wipe the system. You will need to flash 8.1 GApps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Build is already running so if everything works it'll be finished sooner then 22 PM

There shouldn't be a need for a clean flash. But as always a backup is recomended in case something goes south.

I'm not using Magisk but I think you'll need to flash a new version for 8.1

Make shure to install 8.1 GAPPS before rebooting your system.

ATTENTION

Because of this last minute commit https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/208868/ you'll get a vendor partition missmatch warning.

This is nothing you should worry about. I'll fix it a soon as possible.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Peduli:
北京时间几点正式发布呢？非常期待
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I guess 2 AM Peking time.

But writing in english would be nice though. :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Peduli:
I will.thank you
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] aankkurr:
Disable power menu on secured lock screen &

Disable quick setting on secured lock screen

Are these included on official release? If not are you planning to add these two options? It will be helpful to secured device.

Other than that thank you for supporting shamu.
