Ye all good with nova, also d2tw is more reliable than it was on 8.0/7.0 Roms.

Nope always clean.

If you are encrypted and want it to be decrypted, you have to

- wipe all + internal storage

- format data

- restart back into recovery

- flash the s*** out of our shamu (rom+gapps+root)

- do a factory reset after you have flashed everything and you are good to go.

If you already are decrypted or don´t care or what not you can go on with the default clean flash procedure. :good:
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Thanks for the quick response. What is the battery life like on 8.1??.

I have Beltz 8.0 on one of my Nexus 6 and is was pretty good so is 8.1 battery life comparable?
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
From my understanding, that's a new feature with 8.0 to prevent unexpected unlocking of device.
[Nexus 6  General] aerohp:
Hmm... interesting. I did the editing and re-zipping on the phone but let me give it another go on my computer a d see if that helps.
[Nexus 6  General] EternalFlame:
I have never ever, in all this years on android, accidentally unlocked my phone with a swipe, i hope there comes an option to disable this "security feature" :p

Pretty similar from what i have seen until now, "Doze" seems to work better (at least for me) .
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
I hear you. Just what I saw in another thread. I'm sure they'll be something to rid of it.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
When I modified OpenGApps stock for my Galaxy S4 running Android 8.1 I made changes to both installer.sh and g.prop and had no issues installing it.
[Nexus 6  General] aerohp:
This is what my g.prop looks like. Any changes I need to make?
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=4820090]aerohp[/MENTION]: Your g.prop is correctly modified. In installer.sh, I modified the following lines: installer_name, req_android_sdk, and req_android_version. Of those, I probably could get away with changing the SDK to 27, but changing the other lines just makes it look better.

[Nexus 6  General] nixie2121:
which gapps you use?
[Nexus 6  General] jtiesinga:
I used six ROM 8.1
[Nexus 6  General] aerohp:
Tried it again on the desktop and got an error again but not about ROM and gapps mismatch. It had something to do with the zip file itself.

Here's how I made the edits: unzip, make edits, save and then rezip. Does it need to be rezipped in a specific way?
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I didn't make the edits on my N6 but used my laptop. The programs I used were Notepad++ and WinRAR (file compression). Notepad++ can save the scripts in Unix format while WinRAR compresses the files.
[Nexus 6  General] fkfmfz:
Drag the install.sh file out of the zip, make the edit save it and drop it back in the zip. Flash, profit. 7zip and notepad++ also work

Don't re-zip the folder created when extracting, zip the contents inside the folder. Enter folder containing zip files, select all, compress.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
I assume this needs to be compiled? I've tried that with some other ROMS in the past and failed miserably.
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
You don't flash a ROM on top of another ROM. You need to clean flash before switching ROMS.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
Sure, I understand that but I'm not sure what to download from the repository that is linked. It looks like all source that needs to be compiled before it can be flashed. Sorry for my confusion, I just get lost when looking at a repository.

Is anyone running beltz 8.1 having wifi issues? My phone can see and authenticate to a hotspot but it gets stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" every time. It's weird because it worked at first and then stopped working later. I've booted into safe mode to try and eliminate if it is an issue with an app I installed and it doesn't work in safe mode either. I'm to the point that I am thinking about dirty flashing the same version over what I am running but I don't know how many issues that is going to create.

[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Note: I had to clean flash

'okay google' works now reliably all the time with screen on. It worked once while the screen was off, but once the app was updated it stopped. I'm running the Google beta 17.17.28.21.

Thanks for your answer, I even restored a Nandroid backup back to stock 7.1.1 that I was running before I upgraded and wifi still gets stuck at "Obtaining IP Address". I've been googling for a fix but no answers so far. I guess I'll try clean flashing the latest stock ROM later today and see if that helps.

Digging a lot this latest Beltz ROM. Restored a lot of apps using TBU without any problems, even the wifi keys are working (which in every other ROM didn't work at all).

Hi there, I still have my Nexus 6 with 6.0.1 purenexus, and I love this rom with this stability and tweaks, but now I'd like to upgrade to 8.0 or 8.1 if possible :)

So is there a full stable rom with almost same tweaks as PN (d2sleep on navbar and notifbar, add menu in navbar, not red color when low battery...), so a 100% daily rom as is Purenexus, or are 8.x rom not well optimized for our Nexus 6 ?

Thanks a lot guys :)

Wonder what cpu kernel settings beltz kernel is using... Cause I flashed this, and now my Shamu is back to disabling two cores at 50% battery. CPUs are even maxed at 19xxmhz. Ugh. Haven't seen that since the last time I was running stock.
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
Go to twrp, advance wipe and format

What kernel app are you using?
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
I don't have one installed. Just using default settings for this kernel. Are you suggesting to use a kernel app and set my own cpu settings? I'm not currently rooted so was hoping the stock kernel settings were configured differently from stock.
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
And how do you know that it disable 2 cores and set the cores at 19xx if you dont have any kernel app installed?
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Downloaded cpu-z and also cpu monitor. Battery was at 50% and two cores were disabled, and capped at 1958mhz. Charged up to 75% battery and no different. Rebooted and they are now back online.
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
I'll check later when my battery is below 50%
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:

[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:

[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Go to your recent apps, and pinch like your zooming out. All apps close.
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
55% battery, not rooted, just clean flashed, no other changes or custom anything. Two cores are disabled. Wierd.

Attached image.

Edit: Two of the cores came back online after a while. I'm assuming it's MPDecision doing it's job. I've been running ElementalX with 7.1.1 for the last little while, and I think it has a different Hotplug driver that doesn't disable cores like MPDecision. Anywho... the phone feels a little chuggish when this happens, but otherwise the rom works great!
[Nexus 6  General] EternalFlame:
It's a problem with those apps, get ex kernel manager for instance, you will see everything is working as intended.
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Ok. Ya. You're right. EX Kernel Manager needs root to see CPU stuff. So I installed Magisk 14.5, and then EX Kernel Manager, and now I see all CPU's active, whereas CPU-Z shows two inactive. I'll keep an eye on it. Cause when I opened EX Kernel Manager, two CPU cores were inactive, just like CPU-Z, but then immediately became active, as did CPU-Z. I'll monitor it.

i was having a similar issue with AICP 8.0 rom until i pulled the sim and reset network and apn settings then when I inserted the sim like magic all the proper missing apn setting appeared android automatically like provisioned them or something xfinity mobil has its own particular apn COMCAST.RSLR.VZWENTP and for some reason I can't get BELTZ 8.1 to automatically provision it and manually adding it don't work

Any other suggestions ?
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Hmm. Ex Kernel Manager showed two cores disabled when I was at 50% again today. I suspect beltz kernel is using the stock bcl driver which disabled cores very aggressively
[Nexus 6  General] EternalFlame:

[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Did you disable via Ex Kernel Manger? (How?). Or did you run a command through ADB?

[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
I may just put up with it till ElementalX kernel gets updated to support 8.1. That kernel has modified the bcl driver to not unplug I think.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Update:

Since install I had a couple of reboots, in different situations. Battery drains a little bit more than on other ROM's (in stand-by that is, although while using the phone was above average).

I have been using stock dialer and google dialer from apkmirror and on both cases I had problems talking to someone. Stock dialer made me miss a couple of calls because I couldn't open the call, while on the google dialer even with screen off the call was put on hold or the mic turned off on itself (don't use any screen protectors).

Anyway, overall it was a good experience, though for the moment I will stay away from it. Back to LOS 14.1.
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
Do you have logs for the couple of reboots? I haven't had any reboot since 8.1

My battery standby was pretty good. Left if of charge overnight (7hours) and it lost 2%. See screenshot.

Im using stock dialer and called/received roughly about 25-50 calls each day for my work and never once had any problem. Shamu is my only phone and it's my daily phone.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Same here, haven't had any reboots since last 24 hours. Battery backup is great. Lost 40% from full charge with SOT of 2 hours. Going great. Only thing I noticed is sound of call ending or sound when you are on call and receive SMS or call, it's very loud. Would be helpful to let me know if I am missing on any settings.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Interesting... I have been doing something wrong then, although I tried to follow the instructions of a Clean Flash as much as I could. I have rooted it using magisk 14.0 and did some tweaking to the kernel, mainly lowering the min. freq. to 422MHz.

My battery usage overnight, after a full charge, goes like 8-9% over a period of 7 hours or so, while on other ROM's, Oreo or Nougat it would be like 4% at most.

Anyways, I've pulled a logcat for this and I hope it can help you identifying the problem.

Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 6  General] dramalicious:

Hello,

I just want to make sure that these SHOULD be safe to flash (I realize that there are always risks flashing anything) on the latest version of beltz running Magisk 14.6.

Thanks in advance!

If it's not too difficult, can you explain the steps needed to do this? I just downloaded EX Kernel Manager tonight and figured out how to disable mpdecision easily but went I went to Tools --> User Settings there is nothing there but an add button.
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
I wouldnt turn off mpdecision. Mpdecision doesn't disable cpu cores. It's responsible for input boost and onlining cpu cores. From my experience, you don't disable mpdecision, but just replace it with something else. If you don't have the option to replace it, then that kernel doesn't have any other hotplug to use.

You need to click the add inside user settings, go to sys, devices, and fine qcom,bcl.39, then select mode. Instead of "enable" change it to "disabled".

Note. That if you reboot the phone when your under 50% battery or so, bcl will turn back on when it powers on. You'll then need to charge up past 60%, and then restart again. Bcl should be disabled again.

Also check your thermal file as discussed here. Needs to be changed to 100 and 99, etc.

Tempted to try

I have been tempted to try one of the Oreo Rom's and I appreciate the tremendously difficult work that these developers are doing. It's like a composer bringing together all the instruments in a composition that will be played in Carnegie Hall when it's finished and the professionals can play it. However, I will be 71 next month and rely on transmitting blood pressure readings from my device to my phone via bluetooth. So as much as I would like to try it out, bugs and all, I can't.
