[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
I completely overhauled the op :P the new logo will be carried over to the log the features list and the manifest shortly
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
Dirty flashed.....1.11 over 1.10 and system UI force closes.

No root, just theme.

Should 1.11 be 100mb smaller?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
It's probably the odex, did you wipe system before dirty flashing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
No
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
That's why, the system is now deodexed and not wiping system caused backup tool to restore all of the odex files.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
So wipe caches and system.

Flash ROM then gapps?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Wait, you've lost me. Ever since I started rooting / modding in 2010 a clean flash was a wipe of /system. Where a dirty flash would be just flashing the update over the currently installed ROM without wiping /system.

How do you dirty flash a clean flash?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikey:
3 types of flashing, that I know of....

Dirty flash= flash ROM (no wipes) or just caches, no data

Update flash= wipe system and caches, no data

Factory flash= wipes caches system and data
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
I mentioned it a few times in this thread

You need to atleast wipe system if you don't want to clean flash

You should probably clean flash

1.11 is deodexed hence the size change
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
A clean flash implies you wiped system data and caches

A dirty flash is done to keep data.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Ooo this is an interesting new wallpaper ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zarriskem:
Thanks to the Dev for this simple and great ROM. Dirty flashed it and it's been running without any issues. Can't wait to get back near a PC and use F2FS. I see the ROM is regularly updated so thank you for your time and commitment :) can't wait for more! Great stuff.

Just a question though, is there any difference under the hood (performance wise) between the pixel and non-pixel?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Nope other then the round icons and the blue accent colors the pixel and normal builds are identical
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zarriskem:
Alright, I'll give it a go when I wanna use F2FS.

Thanks for developing this :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] note3userr:
If I clean flash new update I'm gonna a keep f2fs correct? I won't have to do the whole procedure again?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Loving this rom! Good stuff. Will probably like it even better when my new battery gets here.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] williamder32:
hi, My 6P got warm after install the last build, I don't know why, the before build did not happen,What do you think it is? the rom or my phone?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
You guys are probably gonna get one last update and then this thread will be put on hold... I need to send my angler in for RMA so expect there to be no updates till atleast a week from now. Worst case my next build might be my April first build but then after that my April 2nd or 4th build will be my last build but [MENTION=6842057]The Flash[/MENTION] will handle the April update for you guys and then it will be normal schedule... So basically what I'm saying is expect a screwed up schedule until April 12th. I'm sorry guys :crying:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Edit: read your post wrong.

It got warm? What does that even mean? What's your battery and CPU temp?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Eager for your return, great work you're doing here. Can't say anything but good things about your ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Thanks! I'm gonna be pushing 1.12 tmmr then RMA the device I mean atleast now everyone can enjoy the rom without rushing to update :P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
What was it that happened with it anyways? I might have missed it if you already said
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
A while ago I rma'd my angler and they sent one back with a broken radio and I've had to deal with almost no service for a month... Tired of it :P should of rma'd it before going public with vanilla but eh :cool:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Wow, that's a crock of ****
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Yeah :/ atleast Huawei is fast. I'm expecting to have my angler back sunday-wednesday
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PuffinNugz:
Before I update, since wiping system is recommended, does that mean i will have to redo all my system setups, wifi, bluetooth, smartwatch etc? Or is all that kept in data? I usually do a clean flash everytime, but since I did all that 2 days ago, and have a watch now, I really don't want to mess with all that again. My watch has to be reset every time I clean flash and takes longer to set up than the phone does.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] adinkwok:
That is all kept in data. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] note3userr:
Take your time . The ROM is running perfectly. There is no need for any urgent updates anyway
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Randomsmack:
Super smooth Rom w/f2fs enabled, keep up the good work.

Is keyboard cursor control somewhere on the list for features? Mahalo
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
Yeah I'm good with where it's at as well. Stock + OMS is all I wanted.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Thought you fell off the face of the earth

Edit: less you're not the Jason downing I'm thinking of lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
Definitely me haha. I got married and bought a house so I pretty much fell of the face of the earth. Still lurk around though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Good to see you still around
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
Much appreciated. You as well.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Finally got around to installing 1.1.1 and it's great. Just the right features I use and still very minimal, this rom just got a lot more awesome.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inspire4gfreak:
Exactly what I was thinking, the best ROM out there at the moment! Clean, fast, buttery smooth, superior kernel, rid of useless features -perfect!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Vanilla Ascent 1.12 is now public :P both version are on AFH as of this point angler build are on hiatus due to the fact my angler is out for RMA. stay tuned :P progress will continue eventually for now enjoy your build I cannot wait to come back :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Thank you for sharing your work! And to Mr. Chancellor!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zborn:
What font is that?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Questrial from fontfix.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] martinomac:
Nice theme, can you tell me which one this is?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Mono
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Mono- carbon with blue and some Swift black too.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] martinomac:
I dig it, can the colours such as carbon and blue be modified within the theme/substrantum? Sorry for all questions, I'm new to sub and want to give it a go.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Came from latest DU weeklies to try this ROM. Now it's booted but didn't go thru setup wizard, it just boots right on the homescreen. I cleaned flashed of course, flashed the newest vendor and Gapps and 1.12 version. But now I can't download Google apps and Play Services keep fc'ing please help, my computer is not working now :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset from TWRP (just the basic swipe for reset in the wipe screen). Flash the gapps package again and then boot. Lmk if that gets you up and running.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
It's up and running but it didn't go thru the initial setup wizard like we used to do when we cleaned flash a new ROM. I don't have play store and play services just keep crashing. I can't log in my Google account. I flashed the full 2/15 Gapps and latest build of this. Please help :(

I also can't pull down the status bar, just the quick toggles :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Something is horribly screwed up. Redownload the files (with the md5sum we provide so you know you have a good download), reboot to TWRP, wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache, then flash ROM + GApps in the same session, and reboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
I don't know sir, when I'm using DU all is fine. Btw, I'm using f2fs if that makes sense or has some effect. I did what you said, wiped system, data, cache, dalvik cache then flashed the ROM and Gapps. Still, the problem is there. No setup, no play store and play services just keep fc'ing. I can't try any ROM as the status bar shows no status of my download. I really need my phone to function :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bkrickles:
Gotta be bad download. Redownload rom and gapps and start over. Should be fine
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inspire4gfreak:
Since clean flashing 1.11 version a strange thing happened... My photos are acting up and all of a sudden I have 2 same folders: dcim and DCIM! Of course, when I delete something from one folder, the same is done in the other one. Sometimes I have a bunch of photos missing, but they return after some time. Free space on my phone doesn't change, they just come and go.

Anyone knows what this is about?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
Redownlaod the rom

downlaod the md5sum lie you are supposed to

open twrp

wipe system

wipe data

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

DO NOT RESTORE ANYTHING

flash vendor

flash ROM

flash THE RECOMMENDED GAPPS (no other GApps will be supported)

flash NOTHING ELSE

boot the rom

if you can't get it to work YOU are doing something wrong
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
thats.... interesting.....

i didn't touch anything involving photos.

the only thing i can recommend is a clean flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
FROM THIS POINT FORWARD:

If anyone reports a problem

THEY MUST BE ON A CLEAN FLASH using recommended GApps and either stock or flash kernel.

If you flash anything beside the ROM, the vendor, dynamic GAPPS, and (optional as its included) flash kernel YOU WILL NOT receive support.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
I redownloaded the ROM, the non pixel one and the pixel version. Still the problem persists, no setup and etc no play store, clean flashed. :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
Try what I said before. Reboot to recovery, factory reset the phone and then flash gapps again. This is the exact same problem I had on this ROM as well. That should at least get you set up so you can download the files again on mobile.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blitzkriegger:
Are you using Magisk by any chance?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lesterinidad:
Tried this, factory reset then flashed the Gapps again and still no go. Play services FC, no setup etc :(
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blitzkriegger:
Do you have the -rm rf option checked within TWRP? If yes try to disable it then re-do the factory reset and re-install gapps. Also after doing a factory reset, when you re-check your file system is it back to ext4, or is it still in f2fs?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Citizen_Snips:
If you have a different gapps package downloaded, try a clean flash with those instead. OK Google won't work, but you should at least be able to get a working play store and chrome.

If not, you'll need to download the files to your PC, boot to recovery and transfer the files over via MTP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inspire4gfreak:
Like I said, I did a clean flash. The only thing that crossed my mind is maybe I should wipe internal storage, maybe there's something at fault.

Edit: never mind, I tried the most dumb thing and it worked - moved all photos to a new folder, deleted both dcim folders, took a photo so the phone can create a new one, moved all my photos back to newly created folder.

Definitely not, I only heard of it and have a slight idea what it does :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
The only issue I am having is not getting "ok Google any time" not sticking.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blitzkriegger:
Did you install the recommended gapps, or did you use openGapps? Also are you using the latest version of the ROM? OK google is working excellent for me ever since flashing v1.11, and still works fine even after a dirty flash of v1.12.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
I thought recommended gapps were opengapps. My bad. Flashing recommended now
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blitzkriegger:
No prob. Opengapps overrides the Hotword apk built in to the ROM with its version which is somehow causing the issue. For best results I sugges you clean flash the Rom again then flash dynamic gapps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
Wiped system, flashed rom and recommended Gapps and all is good. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] martinomac:
I have a similar issue with downloads. After clean flash with Magisk, I have 2 download folders. 1. /downloads 2. /Downloads

Both were empty after clean installation, I deleted /Downloads and then all of a sudden all of my files reappeared​ in /downloads. Anyhow, files are back and life is good.

I'm super impressed with the responsiveness of stock/default kernel settings and screen idle time is the lowest I've experienced on any ROM. Well done and looking forward to future updates. I feel like my 6P took some 'E' but barely sips gin and battery juice. Great combo.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
yeah man got the same issue this rom trash lol.

No but in all seriousness as someone else said before open gapps was your problem :) i'm not trying to be THAT person but the op does state that opengapps isn't supported and one of my recent posts says anyone who flashes anything other then the recommended wont receive support.

I'm glad your issue got resolved! i hope you can help other users who end up doing the same as you did.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jasondowning85:
Yeah. That was completely my fault. I'll definitely help out. Funny thing is I remember seeing a post about it before but couldn't find it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kero68:
Hey All, really interested in giving this rom a try. Read through the features and couldn't see it so perhaps it's not included but I'll ask a silly question anyways. Does this have OMS included?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Arzee08:
Yes It's in the title
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kero68:
How embarrassing... My apologies, I totally missed that. Thank you for your reply.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] patriiice:
But note that since version 1.10 i'm using opengapps pico because I don't use Google Now and OK google. And I don't have any problem :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
...okay?

good for you???

i'll just remember that when you complain about bugs because as I've said multiple times i don't support users of any other gapps beside the recommended ones
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
1. it is in the title....

2. snippet from features

Google Fi 1.11+
Notification light 1.03+
OmniJaws 1.12+
[B] OMS 1.0+[/B]
Passes safetynet 1.10+
Pattern Lock grid size options 1.11+

3. all my screenshots are themed

so let me answer your question... sorry the above info isn't useful. OMS is not included.

Anybody else getting a screen like this when they try to activate an app in Device Administrator? I did figure out where to tap, but it is rather startling the first time you see it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
This is not with a theme installed ?

[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Well, don't I feel like a dumbass. :mad: You would think that all the times​ I've seen people with weird issues caused by Substratum that would have been the first thing I checked. Now I've got to figure out which theme it is (I've got 2 that are apparently touching settings), or if I reeeeeaally care. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] patriiice:
On flash kernel's forum, I read that init.d is enabled, but is it the case in this rom as it is integrated? My first tests are not successfull but maybe I'm doing something wrong.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] riganta:
Having issue connecting to Wifi now. Have full logs if Ok to post. Any ideas ?

NativeCrypto: SSL shutdown failed: ssl=0x79eb7a3c80: I/O error during system call, Software caused connection abort

init.d is still used on nougat? Search for su.d

does anybody have the previous version of the pixel launcher? Not a fan of the new one

You can get it from APK mirror

System UI FC on clean wipe and install of 1.12.

So, I am coming from Nitrogen, and wanted to try this. I did a regular factory reset, flashed ROM and flashed the 2-15 Mini Dynamic GAPPS from the OP. I am not setting the phone up as new, but want to copy my apps from my Google account. But right around the screens where you can setup Google Assistant, I start getting System UI FCs, and can go no farther. Any ideas? I will download the ROM again in case I got a bad D/L, but everything in the install is very normal up to that point.

Edit: I am using TWRP 3.0.2-3 if that makes any difference. Also, I am NOT using F2FS, yet. I may try it in the future, though. I also d/l the file again, this time with the MD5. The two files are the same size, but I will not have any time to try it until this evening.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] patriiice:
That's working with "su.d", thanks a lot!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Trust me when i say you aren't missing much without f2fs, minimal improvements if at all, its all in the hype.

Can't help with the troubles you are having, hopefully someone else will chime in.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lamjanus:
I'm running this rom on f2fs. Can we compare results on a filesystem test? What app can we use. Running this rom without any modifications
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Clean flash. TWRP advanced wipe. Wipe everything except storage. Then flash ROM and Gapps.

It wouldn't hurt to update TWRP to 3.0.3
[Nexus 6P Android Development] RayMcGrath:
Clean flash. Wipe it. Scrub it. Get up in the cracks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
Thanks. Already tried that. I did not note it in my post, but that was the first thing I tried. I also clean flashed the 3-26 Nitrogen along wth the 2-15 Dynamic GAPPs to be sure that the GAPPs were not the culprit. I d/l'd the ROM again, and will try it again tonight. I will update my TWRP as well.

EDIT: I installed TWRP 3.1.0 from the Flashs thread, re-downloaded the ROM with the MD5 zip, and started from scratch, with the same results. System UI begins FCing at the point that you hit the Google Assistant stuff. I did the full wipe of everything except userdata.

I next wiped everything again and installed the ROM as a fresh device. It installed perfectly. So, the problem is in the area where if you say you want to copy your data from the cloud. At any rate, I am up and running.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sixgunmojo:
Or maybe even TWRP 3.1.0. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] lamjanus:
Not on F2Fs? Would love to benchmark against an ext4 user on this rom. Then it`s clear if it makes a difference or not with our 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
You get better read/write speeds, that's all that is measurable with it. Everything else is personal interpretation
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Yep, this understanding that it improves anything more is pure nonsense, please stop people.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No offense but it's not pure nonsense. I've seen you trash F2FS at every opportunity you get and that's fine. I'll be the first one to admit that F2FS is largely overhyped by people who haven't actually read the documentation and just hear the word "speed" and think it's better. You have to format your data using a special TWRP and it is potentially more unstable than ext4, big risks one has to take. However, I and many others (just in this thread) have seen real world improvements in not just copy and moving files but also boot times and app loading speeds because the system can access data and cache quicker than ext4. Just because you personally did not see any improvement or something to justify the hassle doesn't mean others won't. Just something to keep in mind :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Gotcha, but like you said, ' largely overhyped ' is exactly right.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DorianX:
Yup F2FS improvement is noticeable but also is true that is more unstable than ext4, a few time ago when I moved my data to my PC then returned to my phone (2-3 times because some times something went wrong on the process of convertion/installation of a new ROM) some of my data got corrupted (some pictures weren't viewable, some videos weren't playable, some .zip's didn't match their​ md5 sum, some of my backed up apps couldn't restore (TiBu), etc.)

I'm not complaining just saying that people should be aware that some of their data can be corrupted in the process of conversion, backup and restoration. I'm still on F2FS by the way

Enviado desde mi Nexus 6P mediante Tapatalk
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Its just not measurable. Can you tell a difference between a 54k score and a 40? Yes? No? Can it be proven by hard data?

That's what it comes down to. People say it helps with scrolling cache, like Nathan said people say it helps the phone boot and apps open faster, but others not.

Its like monitor refresh rates, some people can tell a difference and some can't, peoples minds process data differently, eyes see things differently etc. So it's not an exact science that says this is a gain, that is noticeable, and can be proven without a doubt, that I know of. Aside from read and write speed.

People need to try it themselves and see if it works for them, and not assume that it will/won't for others, but the whole point of my post was to state that trying to test between two peoples phones is moot. You need to come to the conclusion yourself type of thing.

Edit: I think that's what gets me about it, it works for one person so they say it will for everyone or vice versa, all you can say is the majority or people fine it placebo, or find it helpful, people just make the assumption that they can/can't tell, and make it seem like that's he only answer
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lamjanus:
Installed this rom on f2fs and restored data bij Titanium Backup. Works fine and fast. Would love to benchmark my 6p and post read/write speed. What tool to use? Or is nobody interested in this information?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I think most people use antutu? Not too sure though
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Are you saying it didn't work 'fine and fast without f2fs? Serious question.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lamjanus:
No of course not. This rom is fast on whatever filesystem.. but why not benchmark it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Oh no issue with you benchmarking , just making sure I understood you right Like I said I tried it, did it correctly, & the improvements were minimal, placebo and over hyped are words that should be used regarding f2fs, at least in its current state. Hopefully it can improve in the future
[Nexus 6P Android Development] WelcomeToTheSkye:
comparing f2fs and ext4 is like compairing flac and mp3. it will always be an endless war.
