[Nexus 6P Android Development] Gonzo2026:
A couple of days ago a friend of mine convinced me to flash this rom on my Nexus 6P. At first I was a kind of unsure, but after further reading about it, I decided to stick with it. And I don't regret it at all. It hasn't been that long, but I have noticed no lag until now, and as for performance, it isn't neither better nor worse than stock android Nougat, and it offers a bunch of really awesome features. Every single Pixel feature works remarkably well and, as expected, it feels like a big step forward in functionality.

I have noticed only three issues. First, the battery life shortage, which I have read that it's an issue on Lineage OS and not this rom in itself (as mentioned in a previous post, it can be normalized by setting Location on GPS instead of High Accuracy). Second, when trying to change the date format on the status bar, Lineage Settings crashes (I believe this bug has already been reported to the Nexus 5 thread). And last, after having protected apps enabled, when a protected app is opened, the launcher crashes. One last thing I have noticed is that the Nexus 6P version of the rom lacks the blurred background feature for the lockscreen, which I thought was pretty great when my friend showed it to me on his Nexus 5, after flashing the rom on my phone. It would be nice to have that back.

Anyway, when talking about this rom, these issues are little to nothing bad compared to what you get with it, and will surely not make me go back to stock android anytime soon.

I have to say I am in love with Dark Rom.

Thank you, [MENTION=5445418]Dark_Eyes_[/MENTION] , for your time and dedication.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Is anyone getting insanely long boot times? My phone vibrates four times as if it wants to turn on, but it takes approx. 5 minutes to boot up.

I am trying to figure out the exact cause but the only difference between before and after is the 2/12 version. Only other thing I updated was Viper4Arise, and I already removed that. I am using Flash Kernel 2/7, Magisk, and F2FS. I am attempting to flash the factory images, then reinstall everything from scratch and see how it goes. I remember when clean flashing earlier today that the first boot got stuck at a black screen but the phone was on, while the second boot was normal and quick. I will also attempt a logcat when I get home.

EDIT: Just clean flashed nothing but this rom, gapps, and Flash Kernel and got the same boot issue. Gonna factory-flash and see if that fixed it.

EDIT2: Still didn't work, but I think I solved it. Frustrated, I decided to try two things: adding a line to my build.prop (ro.config.hw_quickpoweron=true) and changing sdcardfs to false, and the quickpoweron actually kind of fixed it. Boot went back to superquick speeds. Just removed the line and it's bugging out again, regardless of sdcardfs.

EDIT3: Same problem...again. Decided to flash the last version (1/30) the exact same way using the same 2/7 Flash Kernel and Magisk and all, and no issues whatsoever. I think the issue might be related to a clean flash of the 2/12 build but I can't be too sure since I'm not using the included kernel. I tried to grab an adb log when I had the issue but my 6P wasn't ever detected. Rebooted on the 1/30 build around 10 times and all was normal, on the 2/12 build, boot sometimes took a minute, sometimes it was normal, sometimes it never booted, other times 7 minutes :/
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hawgguy:
I have noticed the same to different degrees. I have not studied it as well as you. I did a clean install after backing up (which is my usual process). I flashed the new vendor image. I gave up on the initial boot - I got the starting double chime but then a black screen. I then reflashed an older vendor image and it booted up fine (except for the warning about incompatible vendor image). I then flashed the latest, recommended vendor image with fast boot rather than twrp and it seemed to boot fine. Since then the boot times are variable - sometimes normal - sometimes delayed. Other than the boot issues, operationally the build seems to be its terrific usual. I dig it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Might be something up with Lineage then, but I searched their threads and didn't find anything. I ended up just going back to the old build, but I left the new vendor image on there.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hawgguy:
Is the long boot up the only problem for you? I have not noticed anything else. I guess it doesn't bug me that much because I don't reboot that often.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Yep, only problem. The 2/12 build was otherwise very fast and fluid. I don't reboot often either, but the times that I do, it just seems to bother me a bit. I'll just wait for the next update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Just a little update about the boot time. I noticed it and it's been bugging me too, but like others said I hardly reboot the phone, so it's not a big annoyance for me. At the moment Lineage hasn't merged the February security patch, so maybe it's something about that update that's causing it. I'll wait for them to officially merge the update and I'll release a new build at that moment. Hopefully it will be fixed, but if not I'll try that build.prop tweak.

Stay tuned!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rpxz:
Is there anyway to get dark themed messenger? Or dark theme gapps?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Sheeesh lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
New build is up!

Guys,

I just pushed a brand new build that has the Security security patch, and a couple of fixes. The protected app whould be good, along with the date format. I also added the blur lockscreen!

On a side note, I think I have a lead on the Android OS/LineageOS system drain. I read on some OnePlus forum that this drain was caused by the built-in weather feature. I'll add the weather packages back, along with LockClock, so maybe it will fix it. At least you will be able to add the weather on the lockscreen lol.

Hope all goes well with this update!

Enjoy!

EDIT: BTW guys, there is a new gapps package in the beta folder on the server. It has the ZSL Google Camera and it should fix the OK Google hotword. Please report how it goes before I officially release it!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Alex1188:
Just updated with out a hitch through open Delta, love the blurred lock screen glad you added it! This is by far my favorite/best rom I've used on my 6p!

As far as the beta Gapps, I'm curious to know what's the difference say between the dynamic ones you have on the server and your own dark ROM Gapps you have in the beta folder.

Keep up the awesome work!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Currently trying this one coming from PN rom. Is it okay for me to use the NUF26K vendor img rather than the one in the OP? They're both feb vendor img tho
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Yeah, I guess it's OK if you are on Verizon!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
The beta ones are based on the beanstown dynamic gapps and are more up to date. There are probably not much difference between the two, except that I now include Google camera in it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NOTilyass:
basketbuild is so slow ! Just use AFH !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Basketbuild is the only free server that can support delta updates. I would like to rent my own server, but donations would not always cover the cost, and I don't want to end up paying with my own money for it. Sorry about the speed, at least you can download smaller files lol.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NOTilyass:
DOES ANYBODY HAVE THE "CANT SEND ANY VIDEO THROUGH ANY MESSAGING APP" BUG ???

Got the same problem using lineageOS too ! DAFAQ ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Looks like the new update fixed the long boot issues, so it was most likely related to the security update. Everything running nice and smooth! Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] NOTilyass:
can you please try sending a small video via fb messenger or wtsp or any messaging app ?? I always get an error. I'm on F2FS btw
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hawgguy:
Thanks a bunch. Clean flashed the upgrade and gapps - so far so good. Fixed the slow boot here. I appreciate your effort.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Does this rom support substratum? Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] iaTa:
Thank you for the update.

If I disable the option to pulse the notification light it continues to pulse.

Is there any way to make the notification light solidly lit on the 6P?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mustbevick:
Beautiful Rom.. Thank you !

A few questions

1 - "Separate ring and notification volume" - where is this option?

2 - any way to add google assistant without root

Thank you in advance
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
1. 5th option in Settings > Sound

2. It should come with assistant by default...Did you flash the right Gapps?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mustbevick:
1- Not seeing it

2- I used banks dynamic Gapps 7.1.x-20161214 for Dark Rom

thank you
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Not sure what to say then. That's weird. Are you on the newest update from a couple of days ago.

EDIT: I also noticed you don't even have a notification volume slider...Are you on the right ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mustbevick:
20161221

i think i just downloaded 24... let me try that and reinstall Gapps

Update: and yes.. all is well... Thanks !

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Sh*t I know what I did... i flashed 12/21 build... at the TOP of the download list... realizing now that latest builds are on the bottom :rolleyes:

Thanks... I'm sure assistant will work after i CORRECTLY update
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zborn:
What theme are you using? I like it and the fonts? What are they?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
No theme, just the way the ROM look, used the Pixel design style. The font is slightly-modified Roboto Condensed. Here is a Magisk version if it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4CYHidtQWQGbzY0TWdPVW96RDg/view?usp=drivesdk

I made the zip using the template so let me know if it works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aeonxul:
Has anyone been able to dirty flash the latest build over the previous one?

I know dirtyflashing is not supported but I want to know if anyone has successfully dirty flashed the latest build?

I tried many times but it gets stuck at the Google loading screen (no bootloops) and I have to flash back the previous build to boot up the phone. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Normally dirty flashing any newer version of my ROM on top of an older one should work fine. I don't know why it doesn't boot for you but I have been dirty flashing for a while without issues. I'm afraid you'll have to clean flash if it doesn't work!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] exelinguy:
This is a great ROM and thank you very much Dark_Eyes_ for making it.

I am having weird issues exporting stuff from the Dropbox app ("Permanent Failure") and making WhatsApp backups ("Unable to backup."), something I have never experienced. I am on the latest nightly and am using FLASH's Kernel on EXT4 filesystem. Was on F2FS before, but complete wiping and switching to EXT4 didn't help either. I tried unrooting as well, but it's still not working.

I have double checked the permissions on both the apps- all permissions have been given, still somehow am unable to do anything that requires creating files in the memory.

I am able to download and access WhatsApp attachments just fine and view the Dropbox files as well. It's just the backup and exporting that isn't working. Anybody else facing similar issues? Any ideas what's going on with my phone?

Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aeonxul:
Yes, it really is weird. I have tried dirty flashing with/without gapps, with/without root, and finally with/without stock/custom kernels and all to no avail.

Anyways, thank you for the answer and for the update. I will try to make time for a clean flash asap.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] adame09:
I'm having the same issues, can't even Download big games from the play store that save extra data to the memory.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] anderson79:
Which gapps recommend the dinamic?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Badger50:
Mini dynamic always work well for me [emoji106]

Sent from me :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] anderson79:
Well I install the 2 oppen and the dynamic and I always get this I do not know why reason
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
You need to flash the No_Gapps package if you want to use a different gapps package than mine. It's all explained in the OP, follow it and it will work.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dmband64:
Can anyone explain exactly what i need to do to get OK Google hotword detection working? I've updated to the latest build and flashed the newest Gapps from the beta folder and after clearing data and cache to the Google app and retraining it will not leave detection on. It just keeps turning it off. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rockingondrums:
Try checking the hash and re-downloading the file if necessary. I generated one off my phone: 44b80d4d653671d1b8d37ef6a06f38b2 but I don't know if mine being a delta update will have a different hash. Sometimes, if it doesn't boot up, a reboot WHILE it's trying to boot works. This actually happened to me on the most recent update as well. Took a long time to boot so I force reboot it.

In this thread search hotword and follow the quotes. You will find a zip and instructions.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aeonxul:
Thanks for the tip. I will try the reboot thing. I just tried to compare the checksum for my downloaded file and it's different than yours, it is also different from the md5 checksum uploaded for this build. It may actually be a corrupt download even though I've received no errors in TWRP while flashing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
New build is up!

Guys,

I just released a new build that has a few more options. Here is a changelog:

- Shorter long press back to kill timeout (1000 ms)

- USB Tethering Tile

- Updated location tile (click to choose high accuracy, battery saving or device only)

- Revamped columns/rows in QS (3 dots menu when editing)

- Probably some more I forgot

Hope you guys like this update!

Please consider a donation if you like my work!

Enjoy!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] churchey360:
Would love to try this ROM! But i just got my 6p yesterday and don't wanna do any flashing until I've had it for a little while since my 5x malfunctioned and stopped booting and i was without a phone for a month lol but I'm happy because i got this nice 32gb grey Nexus 6p ?? Lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coolsid8:
Was running chad's f2fs uber rom before. Did a full wipe and flashed it using sideload. Stuck at Google logo.Flashed latest 27/02 build. Anything i missed ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
The first boot might be a bit long, did you wait a while? It should settle down and boot quickly afterward. If you followed the OP and used my gapps there is no reason it didn't work... F2FS is supposed to work too, so that's not the problem here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Any custom kernel installed ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hawgguy:
That is GREAT! I have been wanting that for a while. I've been using Power Toggles to achieve that functionality - this is even better.

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coolsid8:
I waited around 5 minutes. But it didn't got past google logo.

Tried first with faster kernel. Second time, just flashed rom and booted. Both time got stuck on Google logo for 5 minutes. Should I wait more on Google Logo itself because generally, i atleast reach boot animation by that time. Should I also wipe system before flashing ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] johnp357:
google assistant voice training option is not working properly. I noticed this on this rom as well as another. has anyone else seen this error?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eqbirvin:
.... What exactly is the error?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GabMus:
Sorry if this has already been asked, but would you consider adding substratum oms support? It's really a bummer that this rom doesn't have it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] johnp357:
the hotfix zip file doesn't work (error on install) so it's that voice option on google assistant

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

I should clarify that following the instructions of putting the file as a replacement apk and changing permission to 644 did not fix it per instructions.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Azathothian:
After the last delta update, there are some problems I encountered.

Apps that require data to download, as updates or stuff, fail to do it.

IE: Dandy dungeon when try to download data, it says "Administrator authority acquisition etc might not occur properly in modified folders". Other games fail to do that too.

I tried wiping cache and dalvik to no avail.

Any ideas what can I do to fix it?

Nevermind. Flashed The Update again and it worked.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hawgguy:
Dirty flashed 0227 over 0224 - all is smooth. Thanks again, really appreciate the USB-tether toggle.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hangsquared:
Hi recently installed your rom. Been running great so far, but in the last 2 hours or so my data has cut out? Connecting to wifi is fine, and the usual cycling of airplane mode/cellular data toggles don't seem to produce any effect. Restarting also hasn't changed that. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong, or what's wrong with the device? Thanks again!

Verizon 6p Dark Rom 0224 w/ franco kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
You wouldn't happen to use Adguard? Funny thing, that happened to me too today and the culprit was Adguard. I know that Verizon has a different radio and vendor than the ones provided in the OP. Are you using these or the Verizon specific ones? Maybe that can fix your issue.

Edit: here is the link for Verizon radio :

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862693044
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hangsquared:
I'm not using adguard as far as I know, but I think I may have flashed the wrong vendor image then since I believe I used the one in your OP. I didn't flash a new radio when I first installed the rom, but i'll go ahead and flash the one you linked. When flashing radio/vendor do i need to do a full wipe?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
No, but I've looked at the LineageOS thread and they don't recommend to flash a different vendor, just the radio I linked. Hopefully it fixes it for you. Otherwise I can't think of anything that could cause that problem. It never came back by itself? Usually a hard reboot should fix it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Little teaser

Never say never right? OMS is coming ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hangsquared:
Well reinstalling, and making sure all the images were right has it currently doing just fine. Doing the verizon specific vendor image (before I read your followup) threw up a "Vendor Image Mismatch" thing so I went back to the OP one for that. Yeah, I've had this happen before on other phones I used to flash (hello LG G2), but this was the first time a reboot didn't fix the issue. I'll post again if it comes back, but for now it's running great! Thanks for looking up all the stuff!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
I'm not sure if it's been released yet, but if it has, will it be the new rootless OMS implementation or the older root one? Or is it all just in the substratum app? Or am I just completely wrong since I don't know much about OMS? :/
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
For now it isn't the new rootless one, but I'll be looking at it before releasing. Would needing root be a deal breaker?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
No, not at all. The fact that you're even adding it is awesome! I'm just asking since having the rootless one would fit in nicely with the SafetyNet-compatible nature of the ROM. I think lots of us use Magisk anyways, so we have root.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nachman11:
Could it be that it does not support the themes (Swift Dark and Stock black,supported 7.1.1) of substratum? Bought 2 and they did not work
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
At the moment the ROM doesn't have the back end to work with substratum, only substratum legacy could work. I guess not all themes support it. But in the next release, it will have full OMS support, so every theme should work!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
New build is up!

Guys,

the update with OMS support is here !

I hope you enjoy it, and as always, please consider a donation if you like my work !

Thanks in advance !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Alex1188:
Love the fact that your so on top of your build. Been running great since the day I flashed it!

Question for ya tho.... Just ran into this last night. And I'm not sure if it's due to the Gapps I used or maybe a kernel thing with Franco kernel but I figured I'd ask you. I was using Google cardboard yesterday and within 5 min of using I kept getting the overheating message and to quit the app and let cool down. I've never come across this when I was completely stock and locked. Any ideas???

Thanks again for the great ROM! Updating now!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hawgguy:
Will give it a spin - Dirty flash OK?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
I dirty flashed and have no issues so far, but I just booted up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nachman11:
Here with dirty flash, flawless ! Great job !
[Nexus 6P Android Development] diddly3000:
Cannot seem to download. Loading basket build just loads blank screen
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MidnightDevil:
Could you please upload the rom and gapps to another host please? basketbuild is always incredibly slow.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
Is dark mode removed in the newest build?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
Yep, unfortunately it didn't play nice with Substratum. You can install a dark theme though that should have the same effect.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] buddwm:
I can't seem to apply any themes with Substratum. I've tried various ones, and even if they appear to compile fine, they don't appear to be enabled, even after a full restart. Does the kernel affect it in any way? I've been using Flash kernel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
I've been having issues too. What I did was:

1. Delete aopt from /system/bin

2. Uninstall all overlays (if any)

3. Clear substratum's cache and uninstall.

4. Delete .substratum and substratum from Internal Storage (.S may be hidden)

5. Reboot, reinstall substratum, and apply one layer at a time. Eventually knock it up to two and more. If it is compiled and not applied, uninstall it and recompile by itself

It seems to work fine for me now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] i42o:
Happened to me too
[Nexus 6P Android Development] buddwm:
Tried this and didn't work, but it did give me an idea. From the errors I was getting, it appeared it wasn't installing the APKs from the themes. However, it would copy the APKs over to the .substratum folder. So I just shelled into the phone and manually installed each APK, then went into the Advanced Manager of the Substratum app and enabled the overlays from there.

Works fine - just a pain I have to do this any time I want to check out a new theme.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bmg1001:
Have you granted the storage permission for substratum? That might help. Others say this helped them, but in my case, it was already enabled.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] buddwm:
Yeah already enabled for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Dark_Eyes_:
It's weird you guys have issues with substratum, it's working flawlessly here. You should give substratum and masquerade root access, then give storage permission to substratum and it should work fine from there.

Let me know if it helped!
