>> Shamu: Add the missing permission for google now listening everywhere
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sincereless:
I'm actually quite fond of google assistant for queries and setting alarms on a daily scale. Got it to show up and replace "Launcher3" in the home after downloading Google Now and Google then a reboot.

I'd also like to know how to remove the tint, or lower the app drawer position on the main screen. I prefer that clean picture look and it's mudding up that bottom 20% of the screen.

Pretty much Launcher3 is my only issue. After replacing everything feels much cleaner. Great ROM by the way. Only issue I've had was with that substratum app crashing when trying to set it up. Don't know what it does but I'm sure I'm not missing out on much.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] N_t_N:
Problems encountered thus far:

-Gallery's Video Player top frame turns white and buzzy after few seconds

-Clock's widget Digital clock wont display

-Slow Unlock speed

-Google Map doesnt navigate when car is moving

-reboots when it gets hot?

and my worst nightmare from Android lollipop is back!

- Split screen!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] gcounts:
Wow how unfortunate. I've not experienced ANY of the issues you describe. What version are you on, clean or dirty flash, what gapps? You don't provide enough information for people to help. Read the OP, re download the zips, clean flash, and report back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
Anyone using multirom with this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] stevenbw:
Using ver 1.6 with capt. Throwbacks modified multirom. Works great. Thanks Frankie and co! Appreciate your hard work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Strange thing. I have used v 1.6 clean and rooted with SuperSU 2.82 SR4 for the last 3 days or more without a problem. Not a single random reeboot or bootloop, with exception of a single reboot on the initial flash. Today, I powered the phone down to go surfing, and left the phone in the car. Than a few hours later when I powered up the phone it went into a bootloop and repeatably rebooted into TWRP. This had happened before on one of the inital builds, but it was allways when I had low battery. This time I had near 100 percent battery. I was able to recover by restoring a recent Nandroid. Just FYI.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cfrank38:
This although happened to me. In low battery or fully charged. This is very strange , I don't know what happened
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jrohbock:
The way I got "Google Assistant" and all of the voice input to work was under (Settings) - (System) - (Language & Input) - (Keyboard & Input) - (Virtual Keyboard) - (Manage Keyboards) Then turning on "Google Voice Typing" - Automatic - This at least allows voice input in emails, texts, and the google search. This doesn't allow the "OK Google" function, but it's most of everything.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CoreyWillWhat:
I used titanium backup to convert the Google app to system app. That seemed to do the trick, but as you said. "Ok google" still doesn't work. Change log for 1.7 shows there's a fix coming though.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] George_Bushels:
If you search Assist & voice input in settings you can set the Assist app there. That's how I got Google Assistant to work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tembares:
The only option I have is Google enhanced services. Google Assistant isn't in the list.

So, it must be a gapps thing and not the ROM? Or, is the Google enhanced services the same as Google Assistant?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] George_Bushels:
That's what i set it to. Seemed to do the trick.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bitemeoftn:
Tried that myself. It goes to try then closes out directly after.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sincereless:
Yeah. I got the "ok, google" working by installing both of those and switching the launcher theme to it. No issues so far. [MENTION=3601914]bitemeoftn[/MENTION], you need to try activating the assistant by long pressing the middle icon. This will give a prompt to ask you what launcher to use in which you can switch to Google.

When a new update comes out like 1.7 or higher, is there an easy way to update or do I have to keep flashing each version?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] N_t_N:
rom and gapps were provided in OP. you can guess which version.

flashed as instructed in OP.

define clean & dirty flash.

I'll wait until 1.7 link comes out. for now i'll just deal with it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alatnet:
clean flash - flashed rom while also erasing cache and data.

dirty flash - flashed rom while you didn't erase data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 175pixels:
Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this rom!

I'm using 1.6 with a clean install per the instructions. So far it's been amazing. The only time it reboots is when my Podcast Addict app does its daily auto feed update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jsk108:
same here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gcounts:
No I can't "guess which version". There are a few out, and you could be on any one of them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HTC_FUZE:
Noob quest: Make a backup before flash another ROM, but can I restore the backup after new ROM flashed? Or the backup is only used if I want to flash back the original one?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gothy.gothy:
Yes, the backup is only used if you want to flash back. Never for restoring once a new ROM is flashed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
How are you making the backup? If your using titanium backup, just do not backup any system data.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HTC_FUZE:
I see, then I do not need backup. Usually I flash a new ROM because I do not satisfy with existing one.

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

I am using ADB backup, Nandroid backup and Titanium backup. I think Nandroid is complete backup so it can not be used to restore on new ROM. How about restoring ADB backup to new ROM?

opr6-v1.6

gapp-arm-8.0-pico-20170920

doubt that helps.

I wiped dalvik cache. and press factory reset. does that consider clean?

but previous apps was still there, nothing a little update from playstore couldnt fix.

fyi 2years ago my split screen problem was fixed by flashing a different kernel. just thought i'd put it out there
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
Factory reset but apps were still there 0.o?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mikevb:
Don't use the Factory Reset slider in TWRP if you're doing a clean flash. For a clean flash, go to Wipe -> Advanced and select everything except Internal Storage (should have System, Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache selected), wipe those, then flash ROM, Gapps, root, etc.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] N_t_N:
ah i see.... ok I did as you said. all apps were gone this time.

right off the bat i still see 2 problems persisted:

-Gallery's Video player top frame goes fuzzy white after 10seconds

-Digital Clock widget still wont load.

-Wallpaper crashes when CPU load is too high
[Nexus 6 Android Development] acezhi:
Loving the ROM so far.

I have seen a strange issue of my data "LTE Verizon" connection dropping.

I am on 1.6 clean install with recommended gapps.

If I open Chrome and try to open a new page I get a not connected message. I also missed a few hangouts messages for the same reason.

If I toggle Airplane mode the issue goes away.

Anyone else with same issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bitemeoftn:
Same here. I have to turn data off and back on a few times a day.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] George_Bushels:
Same things happening to mine. I noticed in developer options cellular data always active was on. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
Yep. Never know when it's going to do it. Kinda hard to get a log.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnb380:
Well about the logs most reboots will identify on a last kmsg if it is caused or even affects something in the kernel. So pulling the last kmsg, dmesg, and logcat directly after the random reboot happens can and usually is beneficial to development.

So instead of debating whether it will show something just pull them and post them and the developer can at the least review them and see for themselves whether they help development.

I use KaMod to pull them go into kamod settings and click pull logcat, pull dmesg, and pull logcat then look on sdcard and upload them somewhere and post the links.

EDIT: Also when talking about other than reboots bugs the best way to help is logcat if its ROM involved and dmesg if kernel involved. Last kmsg is more for after reboot and figuring out what happened.

To get the best info to the developer is ... To reboot the device to clear logging, then reproduce the bug a few times in a row then pull the 3 logs then upload and post links to logs with directions of bug and how to reproduce the issue and all info such as ROM build version and any info that can help.

Good luck
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jckjr:
Understood. I replied about loosing Network data randomly thru out the day. Only way to get it back is to go into airplane mode then back out. So far this Oreo rom is doing that to me.

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

I could fire up catlog and let it run for hours and see what it shows.

4 - REBOOT
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Georgiafan1969:
Been on 1.6 for over a week with no reboots. Thanks Frankie..runs smooth with no hiccups
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gcounts:
Me too ....no issues, reboots, of any kind. My phone runs long and lean. Frankie has worked really hard to get us to this point on 8.0. He pumps out 2 or 3 builds in no time during testing, and I don't care what time it is, when we have issues to report he's available to answer questions or suggest fixes. Even though he just updated S.i.X N, I'll stay on O for now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cheews:
I'm using this rom for a couple of weeks already and i really satified with it. Running really smooth. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] soundwave123:
I am not sure what I did but the r worked great then after I installed apps, ambient display doesn't work and my screen never turns off. It dims a bit or if I hit the power button it will turn off for a split second then back on. Anyway I can narrow down through troubleshooting what I did?

I clean flash by wiping all except storage

Flashed recommended gapps

Flashed magisk 14

Tried - dirty flash with cache dalv wipe after. It still didn't resolve

***I fixed it! I enabled pattern lock and the ambient display works again!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] soundwave123:
I have tried everything which way to get Okay Google always on to activate but it keeps closing when I select Next. Anyone else having this happen? Thanks ahead of time and thank you for developing for the Nexus 6!

I tried activating NFC but it isn't listed. I feel like this is user error on my part. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sac164:
If you look at the change log for v1.7 the developer removed NFC for now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Intel_ins1de:
Official OpenGApps are up for 8.0 on their website, can we use them now?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LenAsh:
I suspect nobody knows until someone tries them and reports back - why not do just that?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Sanabil:
Some bugs

First of all huge thanks to the devs and people involved in bringing this rom to life.

I installed accordingly, every thing is working fine but a few bugs .I did searched the forums but few problems were not highlighted.

1 - Substratum is not working it crashes .

2 - Ok Google assistant is also not working as intended. Like Saying Ok Google will open search but not take commands.( i did read the forums and applied the fixes )

3 - Is there a way to remove stock messaging app, camera app and other apps which are included in the rom? I would like to replace them with stock android apps. I have them but i cannot uninstall the apps with this rom.

4 - Also when multitasking the three icons to lock, kill app etc cover the text or whole page often merging with the content on that app.

Other then the above its very responsive and i can feel things loading quicker and smoothly then Nougat 7.1.

Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DerekTyWill:
I installed with the latest gapps not from the op but the opengapps page and got ok google to actually train my voice model but not move any further it only has skip as an option from the training screen after it trains your voice. Don't know if this is helpful or not can post logcats after I get some sleep. I'm just a user with a shamu but I throughly enjoy the rom and thanks to all who work so hard on this stuff especially frankie. This post can be removed if not helpful or for any other reason the mods see fit I wont be butthurt.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] zxpatric:
Recovery used to flash this ROM

it may be a newbie question. But, what's the recovery you guys used to flash this ROM? Can the nexus stock recovery be used or I must install TWRP or others 3rd party recovery? Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexX-DE:
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/shamu/twrp-3.1.1-0-shamu.img.html

Your question would be better off in the Q & A thread, not here!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dparrothead1:
Just as info. I have been on several teams as a tester. If you want to keep your test builds private, you can sit up a private team AFH where a username and a password is required or a private HangOuts group where the test builds are shared.

I can promise you one thing.....if you put the builds on public AFH.....users WILL find them. And they WILL use and share the builds.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Is quick charge or turbo charge working with this ROM? It isn't working on my end.

I flashed that ROM last night.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BDProductions:
Has anyone else had "Checking for updates..." stuck on for over 30 minutes after install, just after transferring account from other phone to Nexus 6?

The account details transferred fine, I can see the wallpaper imported on the lock screen.

It seems to be trying to update apps, except after initial transfer seen by wifi icon upload and download speed indicators, it has sat at zero in or out, but won't continue updates or install.

I have patience, but seeing no wifi traffic for over 30 minutes tells me it isn't checking for updates as it claims.

Am I alone in these symptoms?

Thanks,

BDP
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlexX-DE:
Restart your Phone.. That Helps!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BDProductions:
Thank you fkfmfz & AlexX-DE

Thank you AlexX-DE! That worked for me.

A huge THANK YOU to fkfmfz for making Oreo a reality for my Nexus 6... there may be others working on it, but your version looks like the most reliable, complete, and it has all the features I care about without many that I don't care about. That's quite the balancing act, choosing the required functions that please the most people and not introducing massive bugs. Great job.

Thank you to you both, for being helpful and socially responsible.

Guys, my phone is charging really slowly with this ROM. It's a huge a deal breaker right now. I don't care if Snapchat works or not, but quick charge, it has to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Anyone know why my phone is charging very slow with this ROM? Is there some problem with the kernel it ships in with or some other issue?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
Try reflashing? My phone seems to charge very fast with this ROM. Maybe your battery is going bad?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BDProductions:
y300owner: quick charge works fine for me...

Reflash or time for a new battery maybe...

MY only issue since install (fresh) happened this morning after GMail updated... Now I can launch GMail app, but it crashes without letting me open my inbox... it was perfect before play store updates.

I am gonna reflash the gapps, since I didn't make a backup yet from when everything worked.

Still happy with the ROM for the most part... EMail isn't a deal breaker since webmail still works until I find a true solution.

My GMail app is set to check 2x Google accounts and 1x Yahoo mail. Normally it is very reliable.

Best regards,

BDP

Anyone using this ROM on F2FS (don't know if it is possible), please share your setup.

For me, it was definitely the issue with the ROM on the phone and not hardware issue. I'm back Xenon nougat and voila, turbo charge are amaze.

I'm on Sprint and I have to reset my apns every so often, mind if I ask what service you have?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BDProductions:
does a little x show up in the lower right of the 4G LTE status?

While i was a passenger in a moving vehicle I had the LTE status show a little x, and I couldn't use data until I clicked the mobile data icon a few times as it rotated through mobile data options. You might check to see if that helps. Once I changed the setting (I rolled through 2x after I realized there are more than just on and off) it has been perfect handing off data between towers.

Hope that helps you.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] BDProductions:
capturing a short logcat showed me there was another change that was made by me that caused My GMail app and Bank app to crash very shortly after launch.

I had disabled the Chrome browser, because I don't want it.... I am happy with mobile Firefox.

Sadly, it seems I must have Chrome browser installed and not blocked to use many apps that work fine updated on my Note 4 phone that does not have Chrome browser installed...

For me that means saying goodbye for now.

I will not use a ROM that requires me to have Chrome browser installed and enabled, just to use apps I already enjoy in other phones without Chrome browser.

I will continue to follow development here, but as long as Chrome is a requirement to open GMail or my US Bank apps I will not use this ROM.

Many many thanks to fkfmfz for all the hard work, long hours, thought, experience, and energy put into bringing us a usable Oreo for Nexus 6.... you are truly appreciated.

I would pay good money for a stable Nexus Oreo that runs my apps without requiring Chrome...

We now know that some apps use the Chrome browser in this ROM, when the same version on other phones does not. Hopefully this can be helpful for anyone else who removes what should be apps acceptable for removal. Hopefully this can be changed so I can come back to the ROM at some point.

Thanks to everyone for being part of a supportive group of people working towards making their beloved Nexus 6 phones more modern and useful. y'all are great too.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Scary Guy:
It's too bad that people (although well intentioned) couldn't follow rules or play nice.

For what it's worth I thought this was the best of the three Oreo ROMs for the N6.

Thanks for the hard work and putting up with our B.S. for as long as you did. Good luck on any future projects.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DerekTyWill:
Also thank you for your advice it helps now that I'm on 1.7 for some reason on 1.6 it didn't. the only way to get it to connect the anything was to reset the apns, but now just toggling the data from QS works the get it back like you suggest.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Setialpha:
Chrome just provides the WebView. If you uninstall/disable Chrome, you need another WebView, obviously, as all apps requiring WebView will stop working, because it's missing.

That's nothing different as on your Note 4, if you uninstall it's WebView.

In PlayStore look for Android WebView and install that one instead, that's the one other stock ROMs use, AOSP/LaOS based ROMs use the AOSP WebView implementation instead, or Chrome/Chromium.

If you've multiple WebView installed, in Developer Settings you can choise from them in most custom ROMs (dunno for this one (yet) as my Nexus 6 arrives tomorrow).

[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
Ah that's a new gapps package (although unofficial but shouldn't matter) I will try that tomorrow after work (going to sleep soon). If the problem lies there would you think I can dirty flash it? the gapps package that is.

-edit-

See in the pushbullet channel that the gapps I'm currently using are recommended so that shouldn't be the problem.

* * * Thread Closed * * *

I know some of you take great pleasure in the phrase "Thread Closed" but it really is just immaturity, disrespect, and being inconsiderate of those who want to use Xda the way it was meant.

Not to come to a thread and be overwhelmed with ridiculousness, lack of respect for forum rules and other members who just want to enjoy the Rom.

My apologies to those who follow the rules and will be inconvenienced by the closure. Unfortunately, some who lack any self respect or self control have made this thread more of a cesspool than a place for development.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] garywojdan81:
The vendor blobs and drivers will have to be ported for sure, but the finished product will no longer be considered "nougat," and it absolutely will not run with a nougat kernel that's meant to be flashed on a nougat ROM.
