Hello first a big thank you for this work.

thanks again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:

I don't know the original maker of this fix. But this will fix facial recognition. NFC I will check that.

Edit : it's good now

Edit 2 : the rom does not start bootloop even without the gapps
[Nexus 6 Android Development] keselekupil:
how about NFC ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] D4l3x:
Hello everyone

someone managed to install this rom because I impossible bootloop on bootloop
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hiapk-Angel:
Yes, I do a full wipe at first,then flash the 7.1.2 ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ihrstad:
Thanks for this! Fast and smooth :)

Only issue so far is I cannot connect to my camera, did not see any mention on this. Something wrong on my end, or is it known?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] goast:
U I think I use stock and Google camera no issues
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Arju:
reboot your phone and see if it's working.

What error are you getting in TWRP?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] The Doctor04:
I would try to redownload the file(s) you are trying to flash and start there. Are you on TWRP 3.1.1? I have been flashing back and forth for the last week going back and forth from Nougat to Oreo and I have no trouble, includes restoring a back up
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ihrstad:
Weird, after second reboot. It works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Hiapk-Angel:
Yes, I am using the TWRP 3.1.1. I am really confused about this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Kjivar:
I've never been more excited about an upgrade. Thanks alot for your hard work??

I can confirm this build is working with microG after patching. Had some CPU issues and a few FCs as stated in OP. Reverted back to Nougat as of now. But I wil test further tomorrow as I got more time then probably. Will give the build some more time to settle in.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EternalFlame:
Noice, been playin around with the beta build the whole day, ye, i know, i was the one who said fk oreo for our shamu lel bot, i changed my mind, impressive work, only thing i miss is smartbar and a fully working substratum support, coz i can get only navbar-themes to work, not a biggy, i know it will be included when the time has come, keep it um Sir neobuddy89 , you fkin rock \m/
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick w:
Thanks

I had an issue also on titanium, it installed ROM, Root and OpenGApps but just hung on Installation Complete after OpenGApps.

Powered phone down, then on and now waiting at the boot animation. The tips above helps!

Thanks MrBrady and OP
[Nexus 6 Android Development] trojan horse:
Had some trouble at start-up, but as the OP said.. let it settle in. Everything works now, almost (haven't tested all of it)..

Great work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nick w:
Mine failed to get past:

4) Initial boot took about 15 minutes, then sat at a black screen for about 4 minutes after that. Then the blue setup screen came on.

Mine shutdown and restart done the same.

Downloading all files again now
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Manosdocpap:
This ROM FLIES!!

Many thanks to the developer and his hard work for us.

I installed this rom using typical F2FS for /data /cache etc

Flashed latest gapps from here https://xdaforums.com/android/general/gapps-android-oreo-8-0-unofficial-t3670602

Flashed magisk 14.0

Patience ( it does seem like lagging at first)... but then suddenly the ROM FLIES!

My god I thought with Nougat we had stagnated in performance! Oreo is so much more fluid!

:good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
I have noticed two potential bugs so far, but otherwise running great!

1) AOSP Keyboard swipe doesn't work (how do I switch to Google keyboard?)

2) Project Fi doesn't seem to be fully integrated. The device boots, sees Fi sim, connects to network, then soft reboots. Afterward all is normal. But ROM/Gapps doesn't contain Connectivity Services which Fi relies on for auto WiFi connectivity.

Edit: Gear S3 seems to be working 100%, including Samsung Pay (w/ MagiskHide)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Manosdocpap:
Instal GBoard then switch from settings/languages -> Virtual Keyboard at the bottom of the settings page

Install Google Connectivity Services from Playstore or Apkmirror
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrBrady:
Thanks for the tip on the keyboard.

I've already tried sideloading the Connectivity Services, but it doesn't appear under Settings / Google (Normally there's a "Networking" option)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jacklite2017:
Installed and works great for me. Only issue I have is keep getting updates stopped working which I assume is the ota part of it. Great work so far. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Manosdocpap:
I've been playing with the rom for the last 6 hours. Rock solid. Not a single bug.

Daily driver for sure. [MENTION=3795148]neobuddy89[/MENTION] maybe switch to AOSP for android 8.0 ? :P

Love your work

Let me ask few question to you?

Are coming here by searching motorola Nexus 6 ?

Are you sure?

If you have searched for that and got this thread means the thread is for the same phone.

Do you know english well ?

Hope you must have got your answer now.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jbaumert:
[MENTION=489185]chineel[/MENTION] - "20180305" build freezes when trying to enter a security pin whether at first boot or from settings menu. (Logcat attached)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:
Yes it is a bug

Work around for that.

1. Type and confirm pin

2. Wait for around 10 min.

3. Connect phone to pc

4. Open command prompt

5. Type adb shell

6. Wait till you get $ prompt

7. Type reboot

8. After reboot unlock with your pin

9. You may need to wait for some time on first unlock.

You may need to do step 5 to 7 one more time.

After that it will work .

If you would like to use face unlock you may need one more patch .

That is just few post ahead in the thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Unreal_Shogo:
You're awesome, this works
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MArtyChubbs:
Great work! Loved this rom on my pixel xl and you just made my n6 usable! Thanks for maintaining!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] D4l3x:
this rom is really great and with the shortcuts of our favorite apps on the lock screen and that's perfection. Unless the option is already present in the rom but sorry not found.

congratulations for the huge job
[Nexus 6 Android Development] LaGgY_42o:
Is there a changelog for the 20180305 build by any chance? Thanks for keeping big ol Shamu alive and well!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] H4X0R46:
Just flashed 20150305 build. I'm so glad to see crDroid back! One of the best roms posted here on XDA! This build has the infamous pin lock bug, but that's fault of Lineage. That will pass. Also, is there any plan to make this rom more compatible with custom kernels? I would really like to have this rom running with ElementalX. I tried 3 different builds of it, doesn't boot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:
for me, wifi speed is always good I used to be on wifi most of the time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MArtyChubbs:
Anyone know how to disable forced encryption on this rom? Would that increase the speed a bit? Thanks all

Also, has anyone been able to flash a custon kernel with this rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] an21281:
The kernel is what effect force encryption or not. So just flash a custom kernel that does not force encrypt then you need to format data if your not already unencrypted...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:
No it is not force encrypted , force encryption co.es from device specific boot file and not from kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:
In this ROM force encryption is not enabled by default but if you have used any previous ROM which has force encryption enabled by default . Your data folder must be still encrypted. For that you have to do a complete format of your phone including internal storage. Take back up of phone and do that process. I will put a step by step here for sure in while
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chineel:
how To disable Encryption of Data

Take back up of everything including DCIM and TWRP or TITANIUM or SMS contact backup or any other.

reboot to bootloader.

open command prompt. You will need fastboot adb installed on your computer you can get the installer from here

fastboot format userdata (This will format everything on internal storage and will recreate data partition)

wait till success message.

reboot to recovery

wipe system cache data (if you like to but not needed this time)

flash ROM

Flash Gapps of your choice.

wipe dalvick and cache

Reboot

wait for a while

let your phone settle for some time.

reboot to recovery again

flash magisk

reboot

Enjoy your phone unencrypted and fresh as new. Connect to pc copy back your data

restore back whatever you want to restore enjoy.

Looks good

I got the "vendor mismatch" error message. I looked around and I have to flash the same vendor image zip in recovery? Where can I get the same vendor image for this ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lkvee:
I also got a vendor image mismatch

TWRP is 3.2.1.0

Got the message after a very dirty flash (flashed ROM and cleaned cache/dalvik)

Got it again after a plain dirty flash (cleaned cache/dalvik, flashed ROM, flashed gapps, cleaned cache/dalvik again)

Still got it after a clean flash (erased everything except internal storage, flashed ROM, flashed gapps, flashed Magisk).

I doubt erasing Internal Storage will resolve this, but what else can I try?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] II_DiE_4:
Shamu doesnt have a vendor image. This was fixed in other ROMs. Crdroid just needs to cherrypick the fix.

Its just a msg. You can ignore it.

If i remember correctly on this ROM the bt aptX codec supposed to work correctly, but i haven't found any new information about, so asking: is it working or not?

Ohh, and what about gapps, which one would be the beat to install? I did a fast google, and it showed me a page with64 bit packages, but if i remember correctly the shamu is a 32 bit device, am i correct?
