As I scroll through everyday threads here on XDA I keep getting amazed how fast the developers are building Shamu ROM's with Google's latest and greatest Oreo 8.0.

So far I have used only SiXROM, versions 1.1 and 1.2 and it has been very good, especially the 1.2 version, which now looks more polished. Force closes are almost entirely gone now (it random rebooted just once, don't know why), and to my knowledge with only the NFC not working at all.

I've seen also (and getting very good reviews by users) that there are a couple of more Oreo ROM's like crDroid (version Beta 2 - 18-Sep-17) and Republic of Madness ROM Oreo (21-Sep-17) with a lot more coming, like PureNexus (I guess), LOS and Dirty Unicorns. And although we are still at early stages, these builds are almost ready to be used day-to-day.

Anyway, just wanted to know from you if you had a chance to use any of these Oreo ROM's for the N6 and what you think of them thus far.

Cheers and keep on flashing.
[Nexus 6  General] Lawstorant:
I'm waiting for PureNexus
[Nexus 6  General] KobySam87:
I am on Nitrogen O Shamu. Its great.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Although PN is my favorite I just couldn't wait to get a taste of Oreo
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
I don’t like these kind of polls because then we’re trying to favor one rom over another. We shouldn’t judge a rom based on feedback, because every rom is different. It’s like everyone will have a different opinion.

But anyways, I’m waiting for a stable build, I know these devs are doing good work but patience is a virtue.
[Nexus 6  General] KobySam87:
I don't think we are judging which rom is superior over the other here. We are basically discussing the kind of Oreo roms people are using and their experiences with them.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Exactly why I started this thread. Just want to know from other users how things are going and their experience with Oreo roms. Sorry if I didn't clarify it in my initial post.
[Nexus 6  General] KobySam87:
Don't worry... I understood the topic from the onset.
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
definitely waiting for a stable build
[Nexus 6  General] AsuraDas:
Using Nexus 5x since my Nexue 6 is cracked. I can say that although Nexus 5x is officially supported and "more stable" Shamu runs Oreo like a champ and is actually faster. My Nexue 5x is constantly freezing up. Can't wait until my girlfriend's iPhone gets returned so I can enjoy Pixel XL.

What About GApps?

So far I've only tried S.i.X's first Oreo build, it was looking pretty good then and it's likely gotten jmuch better. Not only waiting for more stable build, but I want GApps, I use OpenGApps. My shamu is my daily driver, I travel a lot, and I use it a lot so it's gotta be stable. Though I usually keep a copy of a good stable release build at all times in case I run into trouble and need to get things working fast. Most of my favorite devs are building Oreo for shamu so I'm sure there'll be some cool stuff happening in the next month or two. I can wait. I think Carbon ROM is building Oreo too and I'm also curious to see what OctOS might do.
[Nexus 6  General] KobySam87:
Nice......
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
How is it working so far? I'm willing to try this one as well.

[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
I've checked before but I don't think there is one. It is like a continuation inside the 7.1.2 thread. Maybe because is still in the early stages of the development.

Anyway, if you didn't know, it starts from here:

Another update guys! This time it's gonna be six rom. Frankie has continued the development and is gonna release version 2.5 but hey wait, Guess what... its gonna be Android 8.1.0 based on 8.1 developer preview which got released few days back. Thats really great. I think our shamu is the 1st device to get the 8.1 custom rom. Cheers guys. Just wait for the release and hope frankie releases it soon!!

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

Here's the teaser guys, looking awesome and is gonna be packed with lots of 8.1 features...

[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
2.4 was supposedly his last public release. He may update to 8.1 but may not release it for everyone. Time will tell.
[Nexus 6  General] jayadev01:
Yeh true. But I hope he definitely releases it. Need to keep a check on his pushbullet.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
Same here, I hope he does to.
[Nexus 6  General] banshee2008:
Does anyone know if any of the Oreo ROMs for shamu have a working implementation of T-Mobile WiFi calling?
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
I don't use T-Mobile but make a backup of what you are currently running and flash one and give it a shot.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Velocity Rom works perfectly.... and no I cant link it.... The dev has very adamantly stated he does not want links on xda
[Nexus 6  General] banshee2008:
Thanks, I may give Velocity a try -- though I gather it doesn't work with mobile hotspot, so I may wait and see if a fix arises.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Your correct no hotspot, but I don't think you will see it anytime soon if ever. I know he has been working on it with no success.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Sorry, but my Galaxy S4 has had Android 8.1 DP for nearly two weeks now. I figure Android 8.1 is partly why Pure Nexus still hasn't updated yet.

so far thought is Stable I rain both S.i.X.AOSP.ROM-R3Ds & now Republic of Madness ROM Oreo

Both work great but go into boot loop if they go low on Power
[Nexus 6  General] Sanabil:
Can anyone confirm if ok Google is fully functional in s.i.x rom v2.4?

Like if it records and recognize your voice.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
If you skip training, it works fine when screen is on / unlocked. It doesn't accept training unless you disable touch sound in sound settings, but after training it stops working altogether and you have to delete voice model to get it working again.

Due to this issue I have switched to S.i.X Nougat and really happy with it, one of the most stable and functional ROM for me.
[Nexus 6  General] cianz94:
Anyone have tryed the S.I.X ROM kernel on VELOCITY ROM?
[Nexus 6  General] gcounts:
Frankie's last public Oreo release is 2.4. When he releases 2.5 it won't be on Pushbullet. Sorry but he has stated he's done with public releases now.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Don't worry guys, there will be plenty more Oreo ROM's coming this month. Although SiX is good, I still prefer DU or PN over it any time of the day.

Even if R3D doesn't make the next version public, well who cares, we'll wait for another developer caring enough to share Oreo with us.
[Nexus 6  General] selw0nk:
What is DU?
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Dirty Unicorns... Although you won't find them on XDA anymore.
[Nexus 6  General] Ta3miyyasandwich:
S.i.X and Velocity are great, PN Nougat was brilliant too but the oreo ROMs would increase temps a bit too much

Now back to stock 7.1.1 Oct + Franco Kernel, don't need much more. Maybe Xposed later before considering Oreo ROMs once again
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Any custom kernel for Oreo ROMs?
[Nexus 6  General] jerico123:
Yaa I believe he is the most arrogant developer and interestingly he feels pride in it ..otherwise no one would use those kind of language at the end of gitlab change log or telegram group ..It's everyone's choice whether he will share his work or not ..but this kind of attitude is nowhere acceptable ..It feels like he thinks he is the most important person/developed in entire forum...I find him remove people from telegram group only for asking questions..I do not know whether he is a billionaire but it's feel like his every second which he spent in xda for developing ROM is worth billion dollar [his attitude speaks that way only ] and he is doing greatest favour to the mankind by sharing his work .. and by using his ROM we will end up in heaven ..
[Nexus 6  General] camcory:

Sup lads, someone can help me how to change rgb values on latest s.i.x oreo build? can't change color profiles in KA-Mod . Does it work with Velocity? TIA
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
We'll the problem was people couldn't keep their mouth shut and it's too bad to say the developer messed up: trusted a user and that user went behind their back.

It happens when people demand too much and they don't get what they want. Stability vs features. If there was one thing I would change, I wish every XDA could learn something and give back. Developers takes too much critism and it just becomes a nuisance to help all the time.
[Nexus 6  General] jerico123:
It's your view .. yes people do expect better feature .. but no one ever blaming a developer for features ..and I am not talking about other developers .. yes xda is a open community ..Developers here are great and they share their work with us because they value the community and not only for getting back something .. And those people who just want to listen only to praise and so sensitive to handle anything else should not go out in public .. I understand many developers were gone from xda but it was their own decision and choice rather than the fault of xda ...
[Nexus 6  General] imaGine00:
BTW, Can I use Google phone App from play store without risks on velocity rom or any other Oreo roms ?

[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Frankie isn't the first developer to leave and he won't be the last.

Why they leave should be a concern for everyone on here.

Developers and other members get frustrated with the entitled attitude of too many who refuse to follow simple instructions then whine and complain and attack when things go sideways. Or people who refuse to read through a thread or search for what they need, so questions are repeated endlessly, page after page. These are development threads, not nurseries or daycares. I've been a member here for 8 years and the general behavior of the average membership has become embarrassingly immature and confrontational, turning what used to be an enjoyable diversion for many into a toxic environment.
[Nexus 6  General] jerico123:
Ok so here comes the responsibility of moderator ..Tell me one open community which is 50 % as popular as xda where no one asking any nonsense questions ... The forum you are conceiving of is an idle forum that not possible in real world .either you must make a forum a close community or have to moderate it properly that's the only way..this kind of question will keep on increasing as the number of people using smart phone all over the world keep increasing .you can not stop it except the above methods ..And I believe developer should be mature enough to understand the fact. And most of all here I am not concerning about developer leaving the forum , It's a different matter and most of all their choice ..I am talking about the attitude of a particular guy and his language in public .Even in his " substratum theme" in Google play you can read the description of the guy that only proves the adamancy by nature and not by circumstances . And most of all if you want a comparison then look other ROM threads there are many such questions but developers are mature enough to handle this ... And not behaving as a 5 yrs old child and using slang languages to the haters
[Nexus 6  General] lantigua:
You must make it the default phone app for it not to crash.
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Look, I understand that you don't like the guy, and I'm not trying to defend his behavior. But you have to realize that there's a bigger issue at play here. You say it's unrealistic to expect a better run forum, I say XDA used to be a better run forum at one time. What happened to it? Moderation is one factor, there doesn't seem to be a balance there anymore. Popularity is another factor, Android being more utilized and more accessible today. Maturity, or lack of it, is an additional issue. I've been here a lot longer than most and I've seen the behavior here devolve into chaos on more than one device forum. Individual developer's attitudes notwithstanding, you can't blame moderators or developers for all the foolish crap that cycles through here. Members have responsibility too. It just seems that as soon as someone calls them out on it, they whine or throw a fit. Things didn't used to be that way here and if that's the new "normal" then there's no reason to stay around.
[Nexus 6  General] rfactor117:
Allow the permissions in Google phone and set the default phone app to Google phone.
[Nexus 6  General] jerico123:
No I am not saying that , you are saying that once it was a better forum .the things happened to it is number of people using smart phone is keeping on increasing..second thing is that now almost all the people of every country have access to internet. 3rd thing is that the choice of mid range mobile keep on increasing so everyone has access and desire to try different thing with their phone .. and people ranging from 10 years to 70 years age using the xda forum ..So how can you expect maturity from a 10 yrs old person who has desire to try some ROM on his phone.. so the question of maturity does not apply to all users of all category ..

2nd you can not compare what was 10 yrs before ...As xda's popularity increasing day by day year by year as every year new people engaged with android and the old population was not so technically savvy 10 years back.

I am not blaming moderator but it is as it is .. there is no way you can control users of age group from 10 to 70 rather it is in the best interest to moderate the posts .

.you are asking about the good behaviour from 1000 of users but not from developers?

As you are saying no way to stand around then look back do you find all the members who joined xda 8yrs back are still in xda ?? You even choose which ROM you will use ,No body can decide that for you ..
[Nexus 6  General] imaGine00:
Thanks ! that did the trick :good:
[Nexus 6  General] rfactor117:
Your welcome
[Nexus 6  General] gcounts:
Nobody is blaming XDA or the moderators for the decline of respect and civility here on XDA, clearly it's the users. I'm guilty of it myself. But some developers who choose to leave do so because people don't follow the rules. When rules are not followed there should be consequences. But often, due to the size of XDA, moderators aren't able to monitor the threads enough to stop the trolling and harassment. What happens is pages of fighting and name calling go unchecked for hours or days before it stops. The S.i.X Oreo thread had 8 pages of attacks and arguing before a moderator stepped in to stop it...and because of that we lost that thread. It was due to the lack of respect for XDA and the developer, not because the developer took his ROM and went home. That was not the case on XDA in the past. It was a much more enjoyable forum for Android development in years past. Everybody has their favorite ROMs and developers and we should be free to discuss those without being attacked publicly or through PM. For you to say what you did about Frankie isn't necessary, nor does it help in the discussion of Oreo ROMs for the N6. I read that as a personal attack on him and I think that goes against the rules of XDA.
[Nexus 6  General] jerico123:
Then number of moderators should increase .Or the user must be banned who asked nonsense questions or have not read the instructions for the penalty of asking questions and being so dumb

.After all If you believe that's true then it is . Every one has their own perception and point of view..So if you believe that kind of attitude and language is acceptable and happy with them then I have nothing to say. I am not here to argue with the system of running the forum there are better people here to look after it.. I just gave my suggestion about what need to do as you asked .I have nothing to do with developers .they are great here ..I just mentioned about the behaviour on a particular scale and you just started it to generalise .. if you think slang language is acceptable then may be it is , after all you are here since 8 yrs

And by the way you are still continuing the same kind of arguements for which you considered forum is deteriorated

[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Guys, I opened this thread so that we can discuss issues related to N6 Oreo ROM's.

Although sometimes we go out of topic (which is understandable), it would be better if we stayed in the same line of discussion as before. There surely are a lot of problems that different users are experiencing with Oreo, so it would be better if we could try to help them as much as we can.

Thanks.

[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Personally haven't loaded it yet as its missing 2 key features i need, expanded desktop and back to kill, but reading the forum it sounds very stable and should be more feature rich shortly
[Nexus 6  General] bfmetcalf:
I've been running it since 11-07-17 and it seems very stable. I haven't had a single reboot, very few force closes, and the ones I have had, I probably would have had on any other ROM out there. The only issue I have with it that I didn't have on Nougat is that sometimes after a call while using android auto in my truck, it will kick all the sound back to the phone speakers instead of the truck, have to unplug and re-plug to get sound back out of the truck speakers. With that as my only issue I would say it is pretty solid. Only other issue I had was battery, but I replaced the battery last night and it seems to be fine now (accubattery showed 75% battery health, pretty bad...)
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
Is there a link AICP?

Nevermind, found it.

Hi, I ve got another one for you about velocity rom : I Was using Lawnchair launcher but it s eating like +20% Of my battery life. Any Idea why? Launcher3 (the default one) is OK but i d like to go back to pixel launcher from here: https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-rootless-pixel-2-launcher-google-t3688393

However no way to install it (got error during installation process) Suspect it is due to launcher3 which is identified as same app than pixel launcher from XDA topic.

What launcher are u using on Oreo ?

Thanks !
[Nexus 6  General] Sanabil:
No one seems to discuss the fact that most of oreo roms do not work properly using ok Google.
[Nexus 6  General] selw0nk:
Does Velocity have a thread here?
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
Nope, and the developer made it perfectly clear not to post the link to it either. You can easily find it with a google search of "velocity rom for nexus 6"
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
If you want the pixel launcher you can:

Grab any other launcher from the play store

Go to system/priv-app and rename the default launcher from.apk to .bak

Reboot

Install the launcher of your choice and set it as default

Probably because most of us know oreo for Shamu is beta.

P. S. My " OK Google " works fine.

[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Which ROM are you running?
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
I already posted this in some other thread, with most of Oreo ROMs 'Ok Google' works fine when device is unlocked and screen is on, it works without training. Training does not work unless you disable 'touch sound' in 'sound settings' and after training 'Ok Google' stops working altogether, you need to to delete voice model to reactivate it. On lock and off screen it does not work at all. This is the only feature I'm missing on Oreo, everything else is perfect for me.
[Nexus 6  General] rfactor117:
I am running Nitrogen OS, Crdroid and s.i.x rom on 3 different shamu devices.
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
I agree. I believe many people are under the assumption that Oreo will work right off the box. But no....

Oreo is always and will be a beta from now for the Nexus 6 on so little things like Ok Google will only work when the screen is on with the pixel launcher and no training. Offscreen it doesn't work.

So if your contemplating about this, Nougat still works fine. I just hope people realize this from now on....
