Not saying that, I just don't know how. It doesn't have cellular or a phone number. There is an LTE model for data, but it doesn't have phone stuff in it. You can use Hangouts for video calls to other ppl on Hangouts. I mean, it's not a phone so you have to look for some creative solutions. Some people use Google voice (in countries other than u.s. that don't use alot of sms), but I'm not sure how they accomplish it.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Aye this is a tablet not a phone. The LTE model has mobile data, but doesn't make phone calls. In theory it could, but you would need to mess with configs and build it yourself
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] inertiamonster:
Just a week with this ROM on my N9 and it's been great so far but the first time battery hit 15% it automatically shut down, is that a feature or a bug? I couldn't find any reference to it by searching. I'm also using Elemental X kernel.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] didnt1able:
This is just the "nexus" the xperience imo. Same thing with my 6p,5
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] inertiamonster:
Didn't happen on stock ROMs though, so are you saying it's a Slim/Nexus thing?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] tdamocles:
I'm on the 1020 slim 7( 1.15) and Hangouts keeps on force closing when I start typing. Is everyone seeing this and is there a work around?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
This doesn't happen to my flounder at all (admittedly older build). [MENTION=6876250]didnt1able[/MENTION] you on elementalX as well?

Logs else not much to do. Personally running month+ old software due to my situation.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] tdamocles:
Hope this logcat helps with the hangouts force close when I go to type.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Unfortunately I can't open it. Says it's corrupted, not sure if it's your fault or just my crap net dropping packets.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] tdamocles:
Not sure what to tell you. If I extract it, it extracts as a txt file. I did my part of supplying log...any other idea?

I guess I'm stuck with Hangouts force closing.?

It is a compressed zip type file because the txt file was too large.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yup I can't help you if I can't read the file :p. Pm me a Google drive or Dropbox link with just the file?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Also dumb question what gapps are you using? You theming? Etc etc?

In general I've been loving this ROM, save for the occasional lock up. Have been on STABLE 7.1.2 Build 1.0 for a couple of months, just reflashed the latest weekly 7.1.2.build.1.15. A couple of questions:

(1) Does anyone else have the problem that the tablet won't bluetooth pair anymore with the official Nexus 9 folio keyboard? Sees it via NFC tag, initiates pairing, but never connects. I know the keyboard works because I can pair it to my HTC10 phone and use it fine.

(2) Any way to stop the tablet from trying to download and install the automatic Google system updates? I get the persistent "Couldn't Install System Update" warning in the notification tray, click through says "Verification Problem".

Any insights appreciated.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Can't comment of the keyboard, don't own it. But bt in general is quirky to day the least. Attempt to unpaire reboot and repair. I've never gotten update notifications... You sure you are on latest vendor and bl?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] kcsims:
I am getting the same issues with the goggle system update. Is there a fix to this?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] psychomaniac82:
Guys,

Having a problem flashing this ROM. I come from 7.1.1 stock version. I flashed latest TWRP and after that magisk (according to a guide on XDA, not sure why). After that I factory reset, Cleared cache, dalvik, data, system etc. Flashed Slim and Gapps nano. But it wouldn't boot. Strange thing is, Slim rom is 7.1.2, but google never made 7.1.2 for the nexus, so I am afraid the vendor i use (tried: (N9F27M, Oct 2017), (N9F27L, Sep 2017)) is for 7.1.1 and not 7.1.2.

Am I missing something? Is it the wrong vendor and where can i download the correct one, I use factory images from google.

Hope someone can help me with this.

BTW i got the 32 gb WIFI version.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Got it to boot! Flashed the rom without the Gapps nano (arm64), strange... but am a step further now. Going to check the stock version from gapps.

This is the right way to flash?

Wipe data/dalvik/cache

flash ROM

Flash gapps

Reboot

-------

Found the issue! The problem is OpenGapps. Doesn't matter what version i use (full / mini / nano) after flashing OpenGapps, SlimRom doesn't boot. I pushed BeansGapps mini to the Nexus. Factory reset the device, Wiped everything exept internal storage (did that before all this), flashed SLim Rom and without reboot Flashed BeansGapps. After that I rebooted without any wipe. Took a little while to boot (I guess 5 to 10 minutes) and I saw the Google Setup.

Hope I could help someone with this "sort-of" guide.

Also, I read somewhere you would get a update notification, my guess is that you could turn that off in developer settings, but have to experience and try that.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] odjinan:
hi, thanks for your feedback, and got the same notification on boot: this room required vendor N9F27L, and i've the most recent N9F27M ( Oct 2017) installed.

I hope they fix this in the next build~

did you flash after that supersu (base, or beta?), magik?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Uh this is odd as I've always used opengapps O_o. Time to dl latest and clean wipe to see.

Or you can flash down to N9F27L until we do. Those new blobs need kernel changes that I haven't merged.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] psychomaniac82:
Maybe problem with the latest opengapps. Beangapps are also nice and clean. I flashed magisk after flashing, booting and installing apps. Rooted just fine, running with ElementalX kernel, fast as hell. Never experienced that with the Nexus 9. But will see over time if it stays fast.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] calebcabob:
Hey there, I just grabbed flounder and I was just wondering if you guys had anything in beta newer than 06232017 available. I didn't see anything on the main site, but I see mentions of it in the thread. Thanks! :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] madbat99:
The weeklies are the new ones. Latest is 11/4, scroll to the top (up past beta) 8n the flounder section.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
It is. Flashed newer opengapps and broke boot up (stuck on Google screen). Not quite sure why...
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] scoliosis:
prbassplayer, I'm back :) Settled for speed vs having Google Voice in Hangouts.

Weird thing now though. Gmail keeps crashing on me. Latest Gmail package, fresh Slim install using ElementalX kernel (happens whether I use this kernel or your bundled one). Are you seeing the same issue?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] WhammyDroid:
So, the 11/4 image does not boot at all? Is anyone looking at determining what is wrong?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] madbat99:
Opengapps not booting. Use beans
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not seeing that on my end, to be fair right now my tab is near no use as I still don't have broadband.

Used gapps from a day or two ago and worked fine, but for a few days they where broken.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] scoliosis:
Yeah, I finally got Gmail working properly today. No amount of reinstalling it would work but once I installed Inbox it started working. Uninstalled Inbox and it stayed working, so I don't know what it was that made it work :/
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] WhammyDroid:
prbassplayer, do you know when this is going to happen?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Probably this week, it's been merged for a while just haven't built weekly. But this week should have latest aosp updates and some translation updates
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] daitalos:
Slim works very well, stable & fast on my device

build 1.16 ,beans gapps mini

Nice work - Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] brightjh01:
not sure what i'v done wrong flashed n9f27m vendor.img, on bootloader 3.50.0.0143 .

factory reset ,wipe all.

flash Slim-flounder-7.1.2.build.1.16-WEEKLY-20171104-1351.zip.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
What gapps did you use?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] brightjh01:
arm64 7.1 nano
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] daitalos:
as I said in the post #271 my device works very well stable fast etc..

the only problem I have,big battery consumption..

I use only for browsing and few videos.I have closed sync accounts & only few apps etc (I'm using ElementalX) i tried some cpu & gpu settings smaller ..(maybe I have better battery management)

no other problem,rom works very well

(other user with battery problem?)

Thanks & sry for bad english
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] brightjh01:
flashed on Nexus 7 same as Nexus 9 came up less then 10 mins. works fine on Flo. thanks.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Date? Something been funky with them as of late. The nano from the 13th of this month would cause a no boot situation, but the gapps from 18th worked fine so duno.

I mean follow your wake locks, cpu usage etc. Not much anyone can do to help you on this front.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well I mean not the same gapps though, flounder are 64 bit, flo isn't.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] brightjh01:
n7 work great that's why I keeping it have had trouble with n9 from the start. well maybe not trouble just a greater learning curve for flashing rom.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] daitalos:
I mean follow your wake locks, cpu usage etc. Not much anyone can do to help you on this front.

yes I understand ..maybe I try to get back to stock kernel for a few days ...perhaps there is a better difference in battery management(?) ..one test is worth it I think !

Thanks for your reply
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] gerhart.steiner:
I've installed the Android Messages App from Google Inc. via apkmirror.com started it on my Nexus 9 LTE and it changed the default SMS-App to the Messenger and no more notification from hangouts ;)

[MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION], any update on the new build?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Waiting for someone to be near a pc to write the website post and publish lol.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
Great! Cant wait to try it. Will be my first Nexus 9 Rom. Will this version install from N9F27M or do we still need to downgrade to L first?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Never needed to downgrade to L lol
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
Ok :) It was mentioned a view times, I believe else it bootloops?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Nope that's something with gapps. We where however needing to be on older security update though due to the fact we hadn't updated yet.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
Ok, thank you for the explanation.

So First TWRP - Su 2.78 - Slimrom - Elementalx? Is this the proper order?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] voice.lex:
Loving this ROM, my N9 is finally usable! One question; can/should I let the OTA Security update download and install? Just want to make sure it won't mess with anything.

Android 7.1.2

Slim-7.1.2.build.1.0-STABLE-20170629-0835

Thanks!
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] WhammyDroid:
Downloaded and installed the latest build (1.17). After getting it set up, I noticed some of the apps via the play store would not install as it stated it was not compatible.

Apps being:

Google Camera

Paypal

Any idea why this would happen? I was able to install them manually by downloading the apk via apkmirror or using TB to restore the app. The stock rom allows these apps to be installed from the play store without issues.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] daitalos:
I upgraded to 7.1.2.build.1.17 , rom works very well & I have no problems

dirty update, but I did re-flash gapps (I'm using beans gapps), ElementalX & Supersu V2.82 ....

everything works properly on my device (sec patch 6 November)

Thanks for great work , for supporting & sry for english
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jerrylzy:
I can't pair my tablet with my official keyboard, too. So yeah there's probably a bug in the ROM.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] JeffreyJDavis:
Jerry -

I moved over to the latest Lineage. I got the nexus folio keyboard to work with that ROM (not without a little bit of fiddling but once you pair it once it works well.). Actually I have found Lineage to be quicker and fewer lockups / reboots than SLIM. (I'm not dissing the SLIM developers, just my own personal experience.)

It's been a while since i've used my Nexus 9... but boy what a terrible slow device on stock software... I'm glad i found this thread because it seems it's still being updated! That's nice to hear. I just have a few questions:

1. Do i need to instal a custom kernel also? Or is it included in the Rom?

2. What's the most stable version? I need to prepare this tablet for my GF and her studies. So nothing fancy pancy just stable and no battery drain would be good enough.

Thanks in advanced,

Len
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Rom has its own kernel. I always recommend latest, but there's some oddity right now with some gapps.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
Just installed 2 days ago. Bean mini gapps works fine. Also decrypted the nexus. It's fast now, and until now no slowdowns. Great rom :) also I use elementalx kernel.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] len.asdf:
You guys are fast! Thanks.

Your advice is then to download the second latest? Or wait a week to download the update?

Cheers,

Len
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
No technically the fail will happen regardless which build you use. It's something with gapps. I don't have tab with me so can't check which gapps working for me right now
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] len.asdf:
Alright, i'll just install and see what happends :)

Thanks though !
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
I used this one:

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=171927&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC

Worked fine

Also If you decrypt (I think a must on this tablet to get good performance) be sure to do a factory reset in TWRP and after that in the same menu on the right choose format data! Factory reset states it also does data but it doesn't and your nexus will remain crypted.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] madbat99:
Factory reset just wipes data, for decrypt you need format data. Format is different than wipe, that's why factory reset doesn't work for that.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] TheCarol:
Hello to everybody,

I'm looking for help to install this ROM on my nexus 9 LTE. I've flashed several times ROMs on nexus 4,7 one plus one and so on. Never had any problems with adb, fast boot, twrp,....

I am new on nexus 9. I have installed the latest stock google ROM through fastboot. No problems. Bootloader unlocked twrp installed without problems. I did a factory reset in twrp to remove encryption. Then I wiped out everything (not internal storage). Flashed latest weekly 1.17, beansgapps mini, elementalx and supersu. Then I reboot and after the google logo nothing happens. I tried the steps several times making changes (one time without supersu, one time without elementalx, one time only slim and supersu). I got always the same result.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Update:

I installed successfully lineageOS with elementalX, beansgapps, supersu and xposed. I think it may be a problem of the 1.17 release of Slim7 for the nexus 9 LTE.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] daitalos:
For decrypt you need format data & not factory reset

You can try with beans mini pack : https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195918677

you updated in N9F27M with last slim build 1.17?

sry for english
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] TheCarol:
well the latest stock ROM comes with the N4F27P. N9F27M is not the WiFi vendor?

I've used firstly factory reset and then format data. then I've installed slim7 (1.17 LTE) then beansgapps and finally supersu 2.82.

nothing worked. I did the same thing with lineageOS and it worked.

I'll try again installing firstly the N9F27M and then the latest 1.17.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you leave it for a while? First boots takes a good 10+ minutes.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] TheCarol:
well after the google logo the screen was just black. the slim logo didn't appear at all :rolleyes:
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Doesn't matter, I've had it skip boot animation before. Odd though. There's some oddity with twrp lately where I flash the same rom/gapps and it loops, do it again and it works. Not sure if related or not. I've only just gotten broadband back so I could test more now.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] TheCarol:
holy me it worked! after 5 minutes on black screen the welcome menu appeared :eek: :fingers-crossed:

as I did before I performed a factory reset then a format data and then i flashed rom (1.17 LTE), elementalX, beansgapp mini, supersu and xposed in one run.

I'll work/experiment everything out with the tablet in the next few days. If there is something strange I'll let you know.

also if I can be of any help testing the rom let me know.

thank you for the help!

Update:

the rom works properly. only issue at the moment is the absence of the slim boot sequence
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
Rom workes fine, but after one week I get the first sudden reboot. What is causing this reboots on the nexus 9? Stock would reboot every 2 to 3 days.

What do you mean by split? What has changed? Downloaded the rom :)
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
How to split properly lte from wifi variant. Aosp did a piss poor job about it, I fixed their piss poor job, but it was ugly. Lineage is cleaner. Just makefile and overlay changes. If interested these are the commits in question https://review.slimroms.org/#/c/32154/
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
can we just dirty flash?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yup, I personally wipe system, cache and art but that's just me
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] velocity90:
Flashed, including the new elementalx v17 + gbeans. So far no problems
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] TheCarol:
flashed yesterday (lte version) with beans mini, elementalx 5.17, supersu 2.82 and xposed 88.2 (sdk 25 arm 64). boot animation works, camera works, substratum works (on my device). untill now no problems. :fingers-crossed:

I could be blind but I haven't found split screen. Is it available in this ROM?
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well slim recents you long press app name and you get the icon, or drag said app to the top and it starts split screen. You can also set the shortcut to navbar buttons.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jtrosky:
Hey all - new Nexus 9 owner here. I had installed this Slim ROM and was really enjoying it (thank you devs!), but after I had everything all setup and working well, I realized that I forgot to root it! So I then booted into TWRP and flashed the latest SuperSU (which worked find with stock), but after that, Slim never booted again (stuck at Slim boot animation).

Am I missing something? I browsed this thread and didn't see any "special" instructions for installing SuperSU, but maybe I missed it.

Looking forward to going back to Slim (currently running Lineage 14 while waiting, just to test it)...

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Nevermind - was user error - I was flashing the "update" version of SuperSU instead of the "Full" version of SuperSU... All is well now.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] blutigritter:
Hello,

I'm trying to install this rom on my Wi-Fi Nexus 9, but I'm getting stuck at the initial boot where the Slim logo is there.

It's been over an hour and it never goes past.

Facotry wiped.

Downloaded N9F27M from Google and flashed the factory image, bootloader, vendor, etc.

Installed TWRP.

Flashed the latest weekly and OpenGApps 7.1 ARM64 Nano (31 December 2017).

Should I try an older factory image such as N9F27L or N9F27H?

EDIT: Just reflashed Slim without Gapps and it worked just fine. I assume I'll just have to sift through older versions of the Gapps until I find one that works.
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jtrosky:
Hmm - that's strange because I recently flashed the latest "weekly" update of the ROM with the latest version of OpenGapps and all was fine... I think I used the "stock" version of OpenGapps...
[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] jtrosky:
Is anyone else having issues with the device not going into deep sleep? I'm still testing, but right now if I install EX Kernel Manager, deep sleep stops working. If I remove the app and reboot, the tablet goes into deep sleep just fine.

I'm going to keep testing, but there is something up with EX kernel manager (or one of it's options I'm setting) that is causing the Nexus 9 to not enter deep sleep...

I'll report back if I can find the exact culprit... If anyone else knows what the issue may be, please do let me know!

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] prbassplayer:
Keep an eye on recovery while it flashes. Sometimes it seems to go stupid fast while flashing. When this happens it will loop. And logs I've gotten don't really tell me much, anyone see it happen copy recovery and dmesg and link them to me (or pm me) see if I see anything common.
