kernel #41

can confirm kernel#41 from post 427 does the following:

-BT drain in 12 hour interim drops to 3% opposed to stock kernel 64% (per GSam Battery Monitor & system battery stats)

-random system freeze occurs 1 every 12 hours rather than 3-6 every 12 hours (still trying to pinpoint cause)

-DT2W now available

-manual reboot still does the double boot thing, I believe it is after establishing OTA connection (no biggie)

-battery life is spectacular (22 hours and climbing, per GSam), better than coming from 7.1.2

-has no issues with HEBF, whereas ROM beta 4 crashed and stock beta 5 wouldn't apply at boot (for those wanting more responsive touch)

-handheld no longer gets red hot while charging

coming from clean install, I simply:

-advanced wipe Dalvik/caches

-flashed kernel

-re-flashed Magisk (precautionary)

-rebooted without wiping

-patiently made coffee and waited 15 minutes to settle

-marveled

thank you OP :highfive:

Does anyone know if VoLTE works in this ROM?

Here's another random reboot while sitting on my wireless charger - on 41 kernel:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
Anybody else losing data? I can not get it back without reflashing or restoring a backup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hameedf:
It's working fine here
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
JFYI to everyone -

Sometimes, logs are not much useful.

It is most helpful when file called "dmesg-ramoops-0" exist under /fs/pstore - This file indicates some real problem with kernel that caused oops and needs fixing. "console-ramoops-0" and "pmsg-ramoops-0" will be always there when device reboots. They just help to see last conditions kernel was in when it rebooted - with that I can know what part of kernel will require upgrade that can help to survive more. Errors without real problem are likely to get ironed when ROM, as whole, and device tree including vendor blobs stabilizes - which will be slow since we don't have official oreo drop for shamu.

Thank you to all those who submitted logs and who reviewed especially ones who did point-by-point putting in some numbers and real effort. Every input helps to build better next time. New build is due this weekend. Till then, cheers!

If you take a backup from TWRP and restore it later the wifi bt noting turning on. Is this a known issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
No. And not on to-be fixed list either. TWRP is quite outdated, needs some dev and bringup for new Oreo-based ROMs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bitwarrior1:
Fresh install of beta 5, unable to enable NFC. Same behaviour on beta 4. Toggle turns over but remains grey and NFC antenna won't pick anything up or do android pay. Toggle goes back to grey after reboot. Have tried force stopping and clearing data/cache on NFC service. Log attached.

Thanks for all the great work, this ROM is buttery smooth and fast
[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidstyle:
Hmm odd...this is the only issue I am having. If I use dialer code to pull up phone info, it shows the LTE tower but just says connecting and never reconnects. Ping tests fail.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
Man this rom is not even official and the speed of os is significantly fast as compared to nougat, the dedication and hard work of devs , kudos to them. Respect.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] almahix:
Is there something like TWRP that isn't considered "outdated"? I rely upon it for backup/restore when checking out ROMs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] luciusfox:
Just to clarify, there is absolutely no working camera on build 5, right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vasolini:
Mine works! :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
I would recommend to buy Titanium Backup Pro. Why?

Taking TWRP backup of all partitions is quite bulky.

TB Pro backups data apps and their data swiftly on sdcard and restore reliably when you clean flash ROM.

When you want to switch back to Old ROM, you can flash new version of that ROM + new Gapps and then restore your data. This refreshes ROM and gives new life.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] luciusfox:
How did you manage to accomplish that?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vasolini:
I didn't know there was an issue with the camera! I just clean flashed this rom yesterday from the links in the OP. Other than it taking a while to settle down at first, I've had zero problems, and everything is working for me including the camera. :confused:

Don't know if this makes a difference or not, but I also installed the Pixel launcher, since that's the one I like the best.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] luciusfox:
Did you do anything *at all* besides that?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] vasolini:
No. Just flashed the rom, gapps, Magisk, booted, installed all my apps, then installed Pixel launcher apk. That's it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] luciusfox:
Bloody hell.

I did exactly the same thing. Except no pixel launcher (which can't have any effect on this).

Amazing how insanity actually works for phones....

You know the definition, of course... doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result... well, got a different result.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Thx. There's a risk of a createTarFork() error 255.

Got this with TWRP 3.1.1.0 when I tried to restore my daily Nougat. Restore failed.

A full wipe including internal storage is needed than.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenety:
Not sure if needed since a new build is coming already. But phone just crashed. So here's the pstore files.

View attachment pstore.zip

This is with upstream-stock-41.

TB Pro is such a time saver when flashing new roms. Have been using it since the Nexus 4 and has never let me down. Buying pro is worth every penny.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
hey my friend,

i hope you're aware that without mentioning a few facts like not to restore system apps except a few select ones and to restore

app data from some i.e. oreo gapps backwards to nougat will most probably end up in deep trouble.

to be honest why would bulkyness be an issue ? i have 3 nandroids on my device at all times, 2 N and one O and am at all times back

in the game within 5 minutes.

further i have no issues at all with twrp 3.1.1 backing up and restoring, hence going back and forth between N and O roms.

last but not least i have to mention that i'm an extremely frequent and intense user of TiBu Pro, just mentioning it to avoid the impression that

i disagree with it's countless qualities including the ones that you mentioned.

further one typical example where clean installs become an issue in general is once you have like myself 9 email accounts and 3 of them on my own server, hence non-gmail. they have to be setup on each clean install separately to avoid issues or at all and that IS a big work to type in server data and at times huge pass-phrases each time.

i hope (am sure) that you understand that this post is more directed to the people you responded to than towards you because i know that you know all this. i just thought it a good idea to relativate your a bit "simple" statement and make people aware that it's not all that easy and always safe, depending on the exact setup and serveral specific conditions. sure you agree once thinking it over again :)

thanks for the great job on this rom of course, very much appreciated

cheers

[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrgnex:
Is it just me or does the ROM feel slow?

Also my battery seems to drain semi fast.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
Don't know about you bro but my battery is lasting longer and speed is significantly faster then nougat 7.1.

The issues i face are

1 . Google contacts are not syncing,app stops working when it initiates .

2 . OS Often reboots

3 . Ok Google not working on off screen.

Otherwise ROM feels fast and solid. Like the Dev said these issues will be resolved on next release.

Also do a clean install .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrgnex:
Weird. Nougat feels way faster and has better battery for me.

I also have random reboots..

Is f2fs working?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
No.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
fully agree, very fast and smooth no battery issues.

people should do a total cleany and only restore apps data, especially gapps data that have proven to be safe for a long time. this does not only apply to third party backup apps like TiBu but to the built in google backup feature.

upon API upgrades i always recommend a total cleany and then restore manually in small increments with frequent nandroids to revert back to last working state very quickly.

i thinks one can easily say that oreo is a huge step forward when it comes to efficiency while some people reported heavier usage of RAM but most devices have plenty of it nowadays LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
By slow you mean scrolling or general navigation? or app performance? First thing i noticed was how quickly it booted.

Apps are more or less the same i guess a little fast, but i am coming from stock phone so no forced encryption is doing the trick may be.

Launcher at times stutters or the google feed pane lags when scrolling slowly

And I have no knowledge about f2fs.

---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 PM ----------

I cannot agree more , spot on bro Android oreo does feel like an upgrade.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrgnex:
I figured. No problem. It's way to early for that. Thanks for the great rom :)

Just everything. Opening apps, waiting for the keyboard to pop up. Sometimes it's fast other times not so much. Booting is incredibly fast indeed. It is faster than when I flashed it for sure. Maybe it just needed some settling.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
Update!!

New build - beta 6 - is now available to download. It contains new fixes for reports submitted so far. Give it a spin and have a great weekend!

Beta 6 release notes:

shamu: Update PowerHAL to more compatible version

shamu: Re-enable native double tap to wake

shamu: Add 3.18 zRAM backport + compaction tweaks for better memory management

shamu: Kernel fixes from Google

Added expanded desktop customizations. This is better than beta 5 but still experimental - as it blocks waking device in rare instance. So, use with discretion.

statusbar: Added smart pull and quick pull toggles

statusbar: Added double tap to sleep toggle

lockscreen: Fixed max notification value persistence

navbar: Added navbar visibility toggle

statusbar: Added battery bar toggle and customizations

quicksettings: Added NFC tile

DL:

New Gapps dated 13 Oct is now available. Refer link in OP.

Yes, I would recommend clean flash. Cheers! :cool:

P.S. Please don't quote this big post.

Hi all. Thanks to the dev for giving us this ROM. However, I'm experiencing a bug where my devices freezes so badly I have to restart it in order to use it again..

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Nexus 6 Projects Discontinued.

First of all, thanks to wonderful community out there. I bought Nexus 6 at its launch and now it's time to move on with [MENTION=3446299]google n[/MENTION]o longer supporting official Oreo for shamu. Hope to see you all around. OP5 is my next choice with its specs and value for money. I will keep this topic open for a while for discussions around development related to Oreo on Nexus 6.

If any dev would like to takeover my N6 projects, send me PM. Thanks and have a great time ahead. :highfive:

We'll meet again...

[Nexus 6 Android Development] abogrhen:
does anyone found a solution for contact sync

is from the outdated Gapps or something else
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenety:
OP5T might be incoming in november, would be a shame to buy a OP5 right now.

Thanks for the ROM anyways :)

I will probably go for a LG V30 when my device dies.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] neobuddy89:
Yeah, I know but they are rumours. Rumour also says early next year OP6. Also, from what I read it says only diff is display... Same processor... Unlike op3 vs. Op3t.

What I like most is specs are quite comparable to Pixel and Pixel 2. But pixel is overpriced.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
Thank you for everything you've done friend! Without you we wouldn't have working BT or NFC on Shamu Oreo and countless other fixes and improvements. This is truly a sad day...

You will be missed greatly in this community and hope to still see your git active.

Can't say thank you enough... I would say half of these reboots are probably users not clean flashing or from flashing other things or at least user error. I hope you won't let that discourage you as your work is like no one else.

Thanks again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Zenety:
Exactly, would have loved to have the Pixel 2 XL if it was priced normally and had a 3.5mm headphone jack. But Google let us down.. I'll see you in the OP5 development forums for my girlfriends phone ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mnsiw:
Sad to see you go, good luck with new device and everything :)

No more crDroid updates for Shamu, so now what other Oreo option we have, S.i.X?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mrgnex:
The latest update for another oreo rom is 27/9 (or 9/27 for you 'muricans). There is also Republic of Madness but this rom was the one that worked best.. Sad to see it go. Maybe someone else could take over. It's a solid base to say the least. I'm not gonna wait it out. These random reboots are annoying XD

Edit: Thread of the S.i.x oreo rom is closed..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KobySam87:
Yeah.. Search for the Dev on g+

F2FS Compatibility

Saw conflicting reports on whether this is F2FS compatible... Could someone clarify? THANKS

I have tried S.I.X. ROM using F2FS and it wouldn't boot. Just continued repeating the 4 swirling Oreos. Haha
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
No Oreo roms have f2fs and development for it is and has been dead as it has no real world benefit... Just use ext4 it's better and way more stable that is why it is stock file system.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] almahix:
I agree. I use both twrp and tibu pro when experimenting with ROMs. And i too prefer CrDroid.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sirslipzalot:
Love the ROM. Just flashed and it's already barely sipping battery. Very smooth too. Only problem I'm having right now is that I've ran into three random reboots in the last hour while listening to music. I don't know if it's something related to the audio driver or not, but I did install Viper on here so maybe that's it? Any known Viper issues?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
in fact i was hugely surprised about the improvement in speed, did not even expect that a simple software update could make such a difference, especially considering the fact that developers all over the place spent years to boost performance without hitting the stamina to hardly.

i'm really looking forward to use oreo as a DD as soon as possible which right now i can't due to very specific features i need, not just want.

enjoy further

:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Oh well the NEXUS 6 is EOL! I'm waiting for my Pixel 2 XL to arrive...in the meantime, S.I.X. Rom v. 1.9 is probably the best current option for a great O Rom, followed by Nitrogen N2, IMHO.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
Ah it's coming to an end. Sad. I thank the dev for doing this much for us. We were close . Following issues remain in latest beta 6 .

1 - random reboots are still present.

2 - Google contacts cannot sync

3 - ok Google does not work when screen is off.

But the speed and battery life are way better.

My opinion is that this room is not yet ready to be a daily driver as random reboots is a deal breaker. It can reboots any time often during calls or posting...or just sitting idle.

I will be switching back to stock nougat , root it, turn off encryption and use some Oreo based theme with pixel style launcher for now. But I surely will miss the booting speed and general navigation..

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Can you please share the link for v1.9 cuz I see the official thread is closed.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Sorry, that's not permitted. That's one reason the thread was closed. You need to access S.I.X. Rom 8.0 on the G+ thread.

I love this rom in every way possible but the persistent freezing is driving me nuts. Until I find a fix for this bug. I'm heading back to S.I.X rom. Thank you dev
