I couldn't get the one from tamcore working? Any trick to it? It said that it could not detect that my device was shamu. I'm coming from electro's latest.

---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

TWRP is latest...didn't wipe system but will backup and try that. I have magisk installed but don't see why it would prevent the flash.

---------- Post added at 06:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Ok just checked...I see a new TWRP...will load this one up and try again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razorloves:
lies. lol. jk

but seriously... your twrp is old. you need new one.

oreo has new property service and the old twrp is not capable of reading oreo props.

a hack was needed in oreo rom's to work with old twrp. obviously whoever's rom you're using did not apply that hack. so that's why you need new twrp.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
LOL, I admit...total lies...it wasn't until you smacked me that I checked. 3.1.1-0 has been there for so long that I took it for granted. I'll report here of the outcome. Thanks! You guys rock.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Ok, updated TWRP to 3.2.0-0 and the latest from Tamcore. Everything went without a hitch and I'm back in LOS15. Thanks all!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] daavvis:
We told ya so ;) ... Every month or so I like to check for a new twrp... You wouldn't want an old outdated "recovery" room in a hospital would you? Lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Yeah, I now have the TWRP app installed so I can get the latest and greatest.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Does FED patcher work on oreo or more specifically the builds of cm15 floating around?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razorloves:
yes it works in oreo.

but it's not needed on the unofficial builds made from elektroschmocks's github.

he already has it changed from forceencrypt to encryptable.

but when official builds come, they will be forceencrypt, so you can then use fed patcher, if you desire
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChosenHero4:
Does this fix the crashing with Lineage OS settings like the Buttons section?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I really hate the fact that he is compiling LineageOS, pulls random unmerged patches from my github or gerrit and calls it LineageOS.

He doesn't upload the sourcecode so we don't know which fixes he already pulled in. This just leads to confusion and makes me want to quit developing for shamu.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Please don't quit. Many if us are patient and trust your work. My N6 is stable and smooth on your nightly. I know that your Oreo will be awesome and stable. Keep up the good work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Albert52:
Please don't stop your work for Shamu

I quite agree with Fred Simm. I am also waiting patiently for the original Lineage rom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
please don't quit the project as i really rely on the nexus 6 and your builds. trust me i am very grateful to have your builds. please please don't quit the project and please develop for us who are very grateful to your development efforts.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Aktivehate:
Please don't quit based on a single person compiling what he likes. There are many more people using the builds, are happy with it but not or not much posting over here.

Most of them are patiently waiting on ongoing development while still enjoying LineageOS 14.1 :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Please don't quit! You've saved our Nexus 6 from obsolescence. I'm so grateful... Some of us can be impatient (myself included) but mainly due to being excited to get the latest and greatest. Thank you for your work!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NewDayRising:
I get that. It's sloppy. I think I saw someone do something similar in the past few years on XDA and they lost a lot of respect for it. Lineage OS is a respected name because the maintainers and team members, in my experience, are methodical and have a process. While I'm sure it isn't perfect – nothing is, and all processes are always a work in progress, the buzzword being continuous or continual improvement – it absolutely shows what can be done when it comes to Lineage OS versus the manufacturers when it's something as straightforward as security updates, which in the world of data security is a very basic, very emphatic must. That being said, you don't know me, I don't know you, but you have my respect for the work you do, along with the other maintainers and team members. I'm a big enough fan of this phone that even if LOS 15 weren't to land on it, but security updates for 14.1 kept happening, I'd delay upgrading for as long as possible – I picked up a new/open box model this year, so this device is mostly a new experience for me. Like everyone has said above me: Please don't quit.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Same here. Brand new a couple months ago. Went with pure nexus until support stopped. This rom saved me from upgrading because the stability is awesome. The "official lineage" gets my vote.

Really loving the nightly update system. Contributors

Elektroschmock and razorloves have my sincerest appreciation.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NewDayRising:
Agreed. I have to say the maintainers do a great job answering questions, and the team members/maintainers (sometimes they're both) stepped up and got LOS running smoothly after CM pulled the infrastructure plug hard. That took a lot of effort. If you want to play around with stretching the phone's capabilities, Magisk has some interesting modules – I like ART Optimization – and there are some great kernels out there, too. I like ElementalX. I'm not sure what the rules are on mentioning those, so if they're verboten, I get it. Use at your own risk, etc.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Yes magisk on lineage is a must for me. It just works. Haven't tried modules, but the integration is flawless. Plus, with twrp, flashify, and magisk I dont have to boot up the pc for everything.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Malvarose:
Please don't quit. I, like many others, are waiting for LOS. Surely you can get a mod or someone to do something?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
How is this ROM compared to pure nexus?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Going by the first post in his xda thread he is spitting out two ROMs. One he calls "crdroid" and the other, "unofficial los". So he's not really trying to imply that his ROM is THE LineageOS. By not offering to send his changes back upstream (to you) he is certainly going against the spirit of open source, but it shouldn't affect you or what you're doing. He could also have valid (to him) reasons why he isn't sharing his source (maybe he thinks it's not good enough and you won't want it).

I'm a little unsure as to why this is an issue for you. Perhaps the best thing would be to just ignore the guy.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

Very good. Every bit as stable (IMO LineageOS is even more stable). The biggest difference is LOS doesn't support substratum, at least not yet. Other than that there are a couple of minor differences of course, but nothing worth mentioning. LineageOS is a tight, stable ROM that most PN users would feel right at home with.

Install it, you'll love it. ☺
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Thats true he never said that it's LineageOS but users get the impression it is. He is not doing changes himself he just uses my commits that I have on my github or ar open on Lineage's gerrit.

Those commits are not merged for a reason. Mostly because they are untested.

Sometimes his users are sending me logs and claim it is Lineage. I spend time figuring out why it is broken but it has been fixed in my build for a while.

That way it is slowing down the development.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Ah! Now I see your frustration. He needs to put a lot more effort into ensuring that his users only report problems to him. Could he tweak the bug report feature of LOS to have things sent directly to him? (I don't know if that's how it even works, I've never used it).

Having to determine if a report is from someone using an official ROM would be a PITA at best, sometimes even impossible. But it might save you time /effort if it is your first step in the problem solving process. Anything unofficial just gets a polite reply back... "I sorry, you're using an unofficial ROM, blah blah blah..."
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Awesome! I downloaded it and can't wait to try this ROM out. I noticed it has some built in apps such as email, their own gallery, web browser, etc. Is there anyway to remove these? I'd like to use my own apps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zelendel:
Get used to it. This has been happening ever since android hit (wasn't an issue before that) and it will always be an issue. This is why many people are making their repository private.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
I have heard of a "debloat" script, though no idea what it is called or where you'd find it. You can always disable any system app in settings (at your own risk of course). Incidentally, of the apps you mentioned, I only have the browser (I used aroma open gapps, maybe I hit on the right settings there).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xshallowgrave:
Interesting.. I used the gapps recommended in the OP. I take it we can use whatever gapps with this ROM then?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
I would assume most of these issues will go away once lineage 15 drops as official
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
All I can say is that I haven't had any issues with what I installed.

BTW, I also have Magisk and ElementalX with the same degree of non-issue-ness (I had a feeling that might have been your next question, lol). :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Exelios:
8.1 AOSP is out, and we don't have 8.0 official yet

My Huawei got updated to Oreo (stock) faster then my Nexus 6

What the kek happened to the good old days when custom roms used to update devices months ahead of vendors?

Or I'm just an old nostalgic

:crying:

(I know I know, N6 is never going to get stock 8.0, so better late then never, but you get the point)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Devs have lives. They work and have family issues just like we do. They get very little if any compensation for their work. We are fortunate just to have security updates. And then after they put their hard work into it, they have to put up with our continual crying and complaining.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Our phone is 3 years old. There are already some Oreo roms out there, including Lineage betas. And official LOS15 isn't out yet for any device.

I'd say the situation isn't so bad. Let's keep the thread clean.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
NO!!!! Tell me it's not true!!! :)

I don't want my phone to be prehistoric....

Cheers!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Azeazezar:
Yours maybe. Mine had it's second birthday this month.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Akhilesh S V:
Mine will be 1 year old next month
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Come on, you know I mean 3 years from release (Oct 2014). Purchase date has nothing to do with it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
If you use the stock version of OpenGApps it will remove those and replace them with Google apps.

Bug reports sent to myself!?

It keeps crashing and rebooting by itself all day today, I tried to take a bug report but when I share it with Gmail to send it in the recipient field it autofills my own email address lol

14.1, 1 Dec build.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
I shall attempt to maintain clean. Sorry if I sounded rude. Lineage rocks. Lovin' it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Yeehaw! "Now that Android 8.1 has been released, we’re anticipating moving straight to the 15.1". They also say that, as usual, they aren't giving out any ETA. But, nonetheless, it's great to get some news on Lineage OS Oreo development!

PS: I've been running Electroschmock's unofficial Oreo / 8.0 release, and it's doing *really* well!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
The only issue I have with the latest 14.1 build is extremely low ringtone volume especially with the digital phone one. The phone is at max ringtone volume but it's barely audible. The other ringtones rotate between too low and the correct volume at each ring. I thought the culprit was audiofx but turning it off didn't fix it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adroidken:
*deletemeplz
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
read teh lineage official change log. cant be even happy taht we will eventually get an official build to oreo lineag 15 based of of 8.1. that would be even better.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Curious. Just installed unofficial LOS 15, and Open Gapps Nano. The icons for everything are really square and ugly. Is that a open gapps thing.., or LOS 15? I'm not complaining.. Just curious where these icons came from.

Edit: I found the option to turn the squares in squircles. Still kinda ugly tho. I guess this is a Oreo thing?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] king:
Yes this is a new feature of oreo but u can change them to circles like in nougat.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Question. If I decide to flash Electroschmock's unofficial Oreo 8, when the official 15 is released will I be able to dirty flash it or update through the built in updater? I do not want to perpetually clean flash if you know what I mean.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Going from unofficial to official, a clean flash will be recommended, I guess
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] TamCore:
As always. But as the unofficial builds and (hopefully someday) later the official builds are built from the same source, a dirty flash will work without any problems, if the unofficial build was based on an untouched source tree.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Where is that option? I looked in the home screen settings and didn't find it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
I long clicked the home screen. Clicked HOME SETTINGS, and at the bottom, there's an menu for "Change icon shape". I selected Squircle
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Weird... Don't have that option in the pixel launcher.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
I installed this one from APKMIRROR. Maybe your launcher needs an update.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Hmm still no go... [emoji53]

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Figured it out... Have to enable developer options and then that setting comes up.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Seeing as the unofficial is 8.0 based and the Official when it drops will be 8.1 based I would say not a chance in hell of successfully dirty flashing. 8.1 is a completely different animal
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] TamCore:
That's just a minor update. The codebase is mostly the same. So I'm pretty sure even dirty flashing 8.1 on top of 8.0 will work fine. It's not the officially supported method, but it'll work. On a side node: Even official OTA updates from Google, etc don't come with a special update routine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Just not true!

Official builds will be signed with Lineage's private key. So going from official to unoffical or vice versa requires a clean flash.

If you're going from CM-14.1 to LineageOs 15.1 it will be a simple update with no data loss.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
I must say. So far this LOS 15 ROM from Electroshmock is doing great! Phone is plenty fast and snappy.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Well, I'm on 14.1 now, but I think I'll do a clean flash to 15.1 nonetheless. Haven't done one in months, actually ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
will there be an easy over the air updating mechanism to lineage 15.1 if one is already on the latest lineage 14.1. just wondering.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

its good that the unofficial lineage 15 is rocking solid oand fast on the old nexus 6. i will just wait for official builds to drop as i have certain accessibility concerns an that they need to be addressed on official build before i i flash on to my nexus 6.so far on the official lineage 14.1 and will just wait for lineage 15.1 to come my way through the over the air updating mechanism.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Thanks for the clarification.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
just flashed the 12/8 nightly. lookin' really good so far. cheers!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Fred Simm:
Another question. When I update, I get duplicate apps like messenger, clock, and calendar. I reflash beansgapps and it wipes the the duplicates. Is there a better or easier way to deal with duplicates?

[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] did you get 8.1 to boot up yet? :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Is expanded desktop in yet? I would assume you are more focused on base but if it was in I could help you test
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Flashed over the top of the 20171023 version. Looks really good. Still does that thing where it appears to boot twice: i.e., does the lnos boot logo for several minutes, then goes to "Lineage OS is Starting" (or words to that effect), then back to the lnos boot logo for a 30 seconds or so, then "Lineage OS is Starting" again, and then settles in perfectly. I don't know if it's really rebooting, or if it's just got an unusual boot logo sequence. Anyway, I'm really liking Oreo so far. It took quite a bit of adjusting icon sizes and whatnot to get it tuned up the way I like it. But once it was, it seems noticeably more responsive than Nougat.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dramalicious:
I found Oreo roms for shamu to be little laggy..choppy. Or maybe i.m to used with the StockLite smoothness. I flashed allmost all oreo roms for shamu..except LOS and crDroid..any toughts how i can get more smoothness please?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Still running great in LOS15. One thing that's annoying.. Lock Screen Rotation. I've turned off home screen rotation using the Pixel Launcher settings, but the lock screen still rotates. Everytime I pull the phone up to unlock it, the lock screen is turned. Of course I can set the quick setting to never rotate, but then chrome and YouTube don't rotate either.

Would love to be able to turn off lock screen rotation.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
The Settings > Display is where this can be changed I believe.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Yes. This setting controls the rotation of the screen everywhere. So with this set to "Stay in Portrait View", the contents of the screen won't rotate anywhere, including Chrome and even full screen YouTube. That won't work.

In LOS 14.1, you could set the phone to rotate in YouTube and Chrome, but you could set the home screen to not rotate, and this setting includes the lock screen.

In LOS 15, you can set the home screen to not rotate, but that setting doesn't include the lock screen, which is odd.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Right, I even tried the launcher rotation settings and that didn't work either. The lock screen still rotated.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Yup. The launcher rotation settings are what stops the home screen from being rotated, but previously, when this was set, the lock screen wouldnt rotate either.

Anywho.. minor annoyance. More curious if this is a Oreo thing or a LOS 15 thing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Malvarose:
are there any notable issues with the beta of LOS 15?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] KobySam87:
So far its been smooth....

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 PM ----------

Very close to stock...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
I don't know for sure, but judging from previous cm and lnos releases, they usually start out sticking close to straight aosp and, once that gets stable, start adding in the custom bits. So, I'm guessing that the lack of fine tuning of the lock screen rotation, custom status bar options, advanced power button stuff, etc., is just straight aosp, and that we'll be getting all those goodies soon, at least by the time the official lnos 15.1 comes out.

Triggering Google Assistant Via Bluetooth Crashes Phone

I'm using the Dec 08 build. When I press the button on my bluetooth headphones which triggers Google Assistant to turn on, my device goes into a soft reboot and needs to have a full-reboot to work properly.

Ive tried the following to rectify this :

Full wipe, resetting bluetooth headphones, trying different headphones. No Difference. This issue has not occured on other ROMS so i don't believe it is a hardware issue. Any help is appreciated.

*Edit : Im using Los 14.2
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Hmm, thought I'd see if I could figure anything out, so turned on my bluetooth speaker (an old Blue Tune thingy) and tried connecting to it. But I got nothing. Rebooted the speaker, rebooted the phone, still nothing. I almost never use bluetooth, so I hadn't noticed this before. Thanks for inspiring me to try it. But doesn't look like I can be of any help :(

PS: "nothing" isn't exactly true: my phone sees the speaker and says it's paired with it, but I don't get any sound. I'm gonna restore my lnos 14.1 backup and see if bluetooth works from it....

... so, yeah, it works just fine from 14.1. Sigh.... Hopefully it'll be fixed in 15 soon

PPS: just searched for bluetooth in this forum, and, as I vaguely recalled, it looks like a lot of other people are having issues with bluetooth on lnos 15.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Same issue here. Phone connects to Bluetooth speaker, and Ford Sync, but no audio.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Genghis1227:
Yeah same issue here. The Tamcore 12/7 build works fine if you want to flash that. It is directly from Electrosmock's commits.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] OneArm:
Appologies, im having this issue on Los 14.1, ill update the OP. I get bluetooth sound just fine. it's when i trigger assistant via bluetooth that it crashes
