I'm trying Aquamail, looks fine, thanks !

Was looking for a (free) nice layer whith true black for a while, but never have founded one trully acceptable.

I've just bought Black swift substratum layer (the true black one) today. Looks great, no bug, no color superposition. Everything I needed :D Facebook and skype excepted which I took from TBO (Black switch left too much whites into imo)

You may try this one. Flux looks to be nice too
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
I gave substratum a look and test. Compared with copying layer-apk's to system/vendor/overlay it's some more hassling. But it didn't work completely with Google contacts.

Do you have Google contacts completely blackedout>
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
Yup, everything works perfectly well.

An easy way to install every main apps layers with just a click..

The theme don't work, for now, over maps and earth. But I don't really care, just concerning settings..

Some screenshots joined, if you want any others...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Char_G:
Some themes require theme ready Google apps from TBO for the best results. They can be flashed on stock or custom ROM, just disable auto update for those apps in the play store as updating will overwrite theme ready. Also, uninstall any updates after flashing. That said, an up to date Nougat OMS ROM is by far the best way to go when using Substratum.

I stopped using my shamu as a DD because of the size, it was too big to fit in my purse :p I still use it daily on WiFi as a mini tab, the screen and speakers are too good to give up. I also have the 5x, which I now use for testing purposes, but as a DD, I moved on to first LG G5, and now the LG G6. The G5 has root and is now running a custom OMS ROM, while there is no root yet for the G6 but with native themes and minimal bloat, I can live without it for now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
G6 looks fine, especially the good camera.

But don't you miss

6" AMOLED

screen and dual front speakers ? The rest may look similar, depends on your use..

How about the 18:9 ratio ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
The best phone out right now, imo, is the Moto Z Force Droid. It's gorgeous and really amazing except it cannot be rooted on the VZW variant, which is where it looks like Androids are headed. To me, this is a deal breaker. If I cannot have something as important as TiBi, the ability remove bloatware, theme and customize my device, like the US Judicial System said I can and if I cannot have something that works like V4A and a root explorer like app, then I'm not buying in.

The luster of Android in the beginning was that amateur development was welcomed and encouraged. Look how many thing that were designed by CM and others have been implemented into stock Android. THAT was the purpose.

The best device (rumored to be) coming is the Asus Zenfone AR. I've been watching for months for a release date and who'll carry it but so far, nothing. My fear is that such a beast will be not affordable. I, myself, am feeling backed into a corner. My N6 is fine and development is still chugging along but my battery, too, is starting to fade. Fortunately I work for Dish and we have the tools to do screen repairs and battery replacements on certain phones so I can get mine replaced, and will soon.

Like most of you guys, going to a much smaller screen would be very difficult, also. I got the N6 on release day and had no problems with the screen size out of the box. It's really one of the things that sold me on it in the first place
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
Same reason I upgraded from N5, a big screen :) And I really enjoy it like we all do, i guess.

I was afraid I can't get used to it, but I did. Since, I can't even imagine going to a smaller screen. There is some devices which have big screens too, but the problem is they don't have dual front speaker or wireless charging or stock ROM/custom ROM/root..

I just changed my back cover and switched it from cloud white to the midnight blue, just waiting my intelliglass pro which is on his way right now. I love the silver frame+blue back cover. Looks new and exclusive ^^

Can't upload pictures for now, the phone can't shoot himself :p I'll try to find another way.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Char_G:
I do wish it had an AMOLED screen, but honestly, the screen looks fine. The speakers aren't bad, but I still use my shamu for a lot of media on WiFi. The 18:9 is fine too, I've always thought LG stock DPI was too big, but that's not an issue for me with the G6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
So my question is, if you only had one device, which one will you choose ? :)

Too easy answering with 3 devices ^^

About 18:9 ratio, I meant how do you feel the unusual length ? (the length size, not the definition)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Char_G:
I would stay with the G6, as shamu was too big for me to use comfortably as a DD. My hands are not that big, so the size of the G6 works really well for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
Google recently added a one-handed mode into Gboard. Just when N6 isn't supported anymore... xD

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
It's gonna be hard for me to find a replacement phone for my Shamu (quite frankly I don't plan on replacing it unless it's with another Shamu :) )

I mean, even though it's a 32-bit phone, the specs on it are still relevant to some of today's phones.

I was considering a Nexus 6p but it's​ just too buggy. And the Pixel brand is too iPhone-ish looking. Yuk!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I wouldnt even look twice at that. It will most likely be a cheap low-low tier device.

Too be honest I will be glad to get rid of my n6. It is just really too big for an active life style.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
100% agree with you

Furthermore, he's not giving me any sign of tiredness for now.

But i'm a bit concern, soon we won't receive any security update.. Then, if my N6 dies tomorrow, I will be hesitant buying a device which isn't upgraded no more.. Don't you ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
I don't really worry about security updates. I usually install an anti-virus app (TrustGo, which includes a firewall, is my security app of choice) and although no amount of security on a phone is totally unhackable/unbreachable it is good to have some level of protection.

I just don't see any phone out there right now that's catching my attention as far as me wanting to go buy it. So for now it's just me and my Shamu.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredspecial:
I was all set to upgrade to the Verizon G6, but the lack of root or any development whatsoever stopped me from doing so.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
how do you get 4.5 SOT?

I get it total max 4h, is this 4.5 and 55% left?

For me 4 h SOT is browsing with Brave browser, emailing and chat. No games. Youtube only goes to 2.5-3h.

Please advise what is your usage profile
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
I reach 6-8h SOT usually, with the same use. Maybe some lighter settings ?

Purenexus rom kernel 7.1.1, true black background, swift black theme, hard greenified, auto background data and notifications disabled for most apps. No NFC or bluetooth. Wifi at home, 3/4G always on. 25% screen brightness. No adaptative brightness and disabled wake-on-screen either.

No tape2wake but I activated the notification LED ^^

You can also lower screen DPI to save some %, but I prefer with 2k resolution.

Touching the screen drains the battery more than anything, I avoid to check the clock or the mails every 5 min too
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
I use the stock Android with email IMAP background checking, hangouts connected. Honestly never seen even close figures to what you get,although unnecessary services are disabled, as well as NFC, etc.

Respect! Very good results
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
Now you have.. ;)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
cant believe it! :)

Enjoy the device. So you know how to get what is Android System consuming. Description services does not make sense for me. Any thoughts?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
One of the tricks people use to get better battery life is greenify (which i personally think removes the purpose of owning a smartphone). Apps eat up alot of battery in the background. So as long as you are willing to give up the always connected part of the os then I would look into it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
Good move. If you want to own your phone with the freedom to unlock bootloader, root, install mods,etc. then stay away from buying a Verizon branded phone. I'm with Verizon but I got tired of slow (and I do mean sloooooooooow) updates and locked down phones that I now buy phones that I can unlock bootloader, root, etc. and still use it on Verizon, like my Nexus 6 for example.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

Wow! That's excellent sot.

Questions:

Are you using a custom kernel on Pure Nexus rom?

Are you using SuperSu or Magisk for root?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
No, I am not. Maybe next time I'll flash the device.

I'm using SuperSU for root, but is Magisk really different ? I never used it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TodNex:
I will try to disable as much as background apps as possible. But still - never get youtube playing for such long, even when I do only this. Maybe you play music and not FullHD from it?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
Oh okay. Yeah, I don't use custom kernels. Just my preference that's all.

As far as Magisk is concerned, I like it better than SuperSu. More features, options, and a good selection of modules to tinker with. And imo probably more secure than SuperSu.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
You can disable background activity for every app you don't wan't to be "waked" by. (I don't want my phone to sent me a notification each time I receive a mail. I do prefer checking that by myself, sometimes. Then I can disable BG mail app activity.. See ?)

Indeed I mostly play music on Youtube but I don't set the quality. Usually videos are loaded at the higher quality possible, at least 480p and generally 720/1080p. I use wired earphones and avoid to touch the screen for nothing. Nothing more :D

I installed V4A, which increase a bit the consumption..

Screen off + wifi and data always on, the phone can stand 9/10 days long without charging.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesco38:
I don't really know what I can do more, with a custom kernel. Maybe set the screen RVB levels, with a permissive kernel.. What else ?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
I hear you.

As for me, I get in a flash mode and for a while I switch up between custom roms. However, eventually I always come back to stock. It just seems to me that stock is the way to go, sometimes with a little tweaking. Right now I'm running stock 7.1.1 with Magisk root and Kernel Adiutor, nothing else. Working fine for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMG1961:
Same here. After flashing several custom roms in the last week i am now back on 7.1.1 stock with Magisk and root.

Works without a problem here.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
I know right. It gets a little tiring after a while flashing roms, restoring backups, etc.

Feels good to get a reprieve going back to stock.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolfen69:
Indeed. I'm using the Axon 7 now, and the speakers sound very good. Plus the Axon 7 is only like 40-50 dollars more than a new Nexus 6. I'm actually liking the slightly smaller screen size, which I didn't think I would. And the Axon 7 is Daydream compatible, for those interested in VR. The Nexus 6 was great for me for 2 yrs, but it was time for something newer, and the Axon 7 is a great phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melon_Bread:
See my issue with getting a device to replace my Nexus 6 is that I can never find something that has the right specs, that ALSO has the dev community behind it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Dev community support will soon be hard to find for many devices. With the push for better security things like moddable devices will be few and far between.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melon_Bread:
Exactly, that's why I feel locked in or trapped to something Google puts out because there will always a a dev community around there devices.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not really. Many devs are not touching anything Google puts out. Most didn't even buy the pixel and don't want it. Google is locking Android down and I can say almost without a doubt that with in a few years if you want to mod then you will have one maybe 2 devices every few years. Even then it will come down to Google not issuing update for devices that are modded.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I could almost live without modding, V4A, custom kernels, etc, but what I cannot live without and what I cannot believe doesn't really exist (that I've found) is a way to back up/restore apps with data and settings, like TiBu does, when moving from device to device. I have to be able to do that. There's just no way I can give up saved game scores, app settings, wifi points & passwords, etc. on a new phone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic757:
My sentiments exactly.

Imo flashing roms/kernels, rooting, modding etc. gets old after a while. However, it would be great to have a way to back up apps & data/settings without having to excavate the phone to do so.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You guys do know that Google has its own built in backup system right? I don't personally use it but it is there. Just make sure you are on wifi when you do it as it will eat your data limit alive.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
I tried it on a new Rom one time, backed up prior to flashing and restored after, didn't restore data, just the apps
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I did it once and after setting up up to back up apps and data it restored it but it was buggy. Now I personally just reinstall the apps I use. Mind you I only have 10 apps that I have to install and set up and most of those I don't even really need. Most phones come with everything needed for a device to be a production tool and that's all I need. I don't do social networking or any of that other stuff really any more. 8 used to have tons but after working with devs it becomes less and less.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Yeah, same here. I have a lot saved I never restore anymore but I still restore a bunch I never use, like there's some nag in my mind that I MIGHT need to use one, some day.... lol
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah. I judge by this. If i have not used an app once in a week then I remove it. If I need it later I will install it, use it and then remove it.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gmartin0312:
So I setup my s8+ and setup my Gmail on the native email client. I selected as items arrive because I like having up to date email. When I go to delete a message on the S8+ it deletes, but shows a "deleted" sign and next to it "undo". I have since changed the setting to not ask to confirm, it still does it though. Now when I delete an email on the phone, it comes right back after a few seconds, I tested this with my Gmail opened on the website and it doesn't show deleted, however if I simply read them on the phone or mark them as read, it does correlate with Gmail and marks them as read. Testing the reverse, if I delete a message on Gmail, it does delete it automatically on the phone. What could be the problem? I've tried changing the web settings to auto expunge set to "off" and when a message is marked as deleted from the last IMAP folder move to the trash (used to be archive)
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gmartin0312:
Maybe a bit more condensed. Basically the stock email app (s8+) has deleted emails keep popping back up. I have gmail on there with the "auto, as items arrive" setting. Marking as read does sync however., any ideas? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] AzWizzard:
My Gmail app has been doing this for a long time while using a secondary e-mail account within Gmail (My hotmail account).

I've never had a problem deleting Gmail e-mails though.

Just to clarify, this is for your GMAIL account correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] gmartin0312:
Yeah, I am using the native Samsung Email client on the Galaxy s8+. When setting up my [MENTION=5499064]gmail.com[/MENTION] account., everything comes in quickly, marking as read works fine, the issue is when I delete an email, it comes back as soon as I refresh.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] slaktmasken:
I have the same problem. And I think the reason is that your mail provider has the IMAP roth path folder named "INBOX"

But the samsung mail app has it as "Inbox"

This is why it works with Gmail and not other providers.

It can handle the incoming to place in correct folder. But when you delete it sends a request to the IMAP server to delete mail xxx placed in folder Inbox (Not INBOX)

And because there are no folder called Inbox on the IMAP server, nothing is removed.

Older samsungs/Android had both the option to "erase on server" and set "IMAP Root path folder" but the latest version don't
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] rkennison:
I have several accounts setup in the gmail app. Only one does this, my exchange email account for work. And it's not new and it's not related to the phone. This has been happening for years on multiple android versions and multiple devices when using the gmail client.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] KashtanA:
With third-party customers everything is in order and even with native problems did not notice.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] slaktmasken:
"Unfortunately the stock android email app has the IMAP root folder names hard-coded in the app. They cannot be changed by user. The app expects the folders to be named

at the IMAP server exactly like this

Inbox

Outbox

Drafts

Sent

Junk

If IMAP-server uses different names the synchronization will not work properly"

So as I mentioned before. If Imap folder is named Inbox and not INBOX there might be problem. And it cant be fixed in other way than changing to a mail app that allows for manually setting the IMAP root folder name to INBOX
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] LangleyWood:
Me, too.

On my S8 phone I have 3 accounts (Gmail and TELUS) plus my Exchange account for work - and that's the only one that has this problem (Junk Folders messages reappear). Thank you for your post. Don't HAVE to have my work account on my phone so will remove it and hope that resolves this pesky issue.

Can i use only internal card wireless for airmon-ng start wlan0 ? Or i need external one with otg cable
[One (M7) Android Development] michael8t6:
99% certain the answer will be no if you intend to use it in monitor mode. There's a device that does support monitor mode on the internal card but can't remember what one it was. You can always try it by opening a terminal and typing the following:

Airmon-ng start wlan0

If it works then you'll see a new interface pop up called:

Wlan0mon

I wouldn't hold my breath though, you're better of getting a cheap otg off eBay for a couple of quid and get an external wireless card. There's a link in the first post to the nethunter wiki, they have a list of devices that have been confirmed as working.
