It's remotely possible that a different developer brings an unofficial Oreo PN to Shamu. Beans and PN in general always stops official PN at the same time as google drops support for the device. Not just the N6, it's true for all devices.

[Nexus 6  General] Castanoff:
Anyone know of a Oreo room that Bluetooth doesn't kill the battery or something I can try? I have Bluetooth on all the time for smart lock and headphones.
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
I'm using ABC. My Bluetooth is on 100% of the time. I get 4-5 hour SOT. Beltz also had it's Bluetooth reworked.

If you still have trouble on ABC, I wonder if your battery is shot.

[Nexus 6  General] Castanoff:
I'll try ABC rom. I ordered a new battery also.
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
Anyone here manged to get deep sleep on the Nephilim ROM? Just looking for a good guide on how to fix it. Tried BetterBatteryStats but doesn't seem to get me the culprit. I do have a FitBit on but that's about it.
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
Several have replied that deep sleep on Nephilim ROM works for them. The most suggested thing is to do a clean flash and add apps back one at a time until you find the offending app. That sounds like it could be a long process so I'm glad that Beltz has worked for me as I have 139 apps installed.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
+1 beltz no issues on BT at all or with deep sleep
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Same is true with DU, absolutely fantastic with deep sleep :)
[Nexus 6  General] butomus1:
getting deep sleep on cypheros 5.2 very pleased
[Nexus 6  General] Akhilesh S V:
Can you share the boot.img ?
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Found a great match for my Nexus. Running beltz 8.1 with elementalX kernel with elementalX governor and zen I/o scheduler at max speed of 2265MHZ, buttery smooth. Single charge lasts me all day and Bluetooth connected at all times, and it does go to deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Only 2:45 SOT?
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Yes, I've been listening to music majority of the day over Bluetooth. Hey it's an improvement over 6hrs of total time and 1hr of SOT I used to have so I'll take it.
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
Are you on an old battery? Just curious.

"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
Thank you all! So I think I found the culprit. In Oreo, they changed where all the settings are to sync with google apps like Gmail, Play Store, so I had to go into each app and disable sync. Then I also set my Wifi to turn off after sleep.

That trick seemed to do it and even when my Wifi is still on, the phone goes to deep sleep now.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Anyone using Google Camera on Dirty Unicorn. I tried different 4.2 versions from APK Mirror, all work but view finder is very sluggish, any suggestion? Other camera apps working fine but I like Google Camera.
[Nexus 6  General] hameedf:
Me too, I have this issue with gcam, and wish if there's mod version or something to fix it
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Google Camera (GC) problem solved, here's what I did:

Downloaded and installed GC 3.2.045 from APK Mirror

Updated it to 4.2.035 through Play Store

HDR+ and video, both working perfect now :)

Nephilim 2.0 is up!

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569953928
[Nexus 6  General] xconwayx:
I apologize for any negligence. I just went through Settings/Apps and looked for this sync feature to turn off. I did not see anything there. also looked inside of the app itself and even in the Google App to see if there was something to turn off. Could you please elaborate on where you found this setting please? This could be a huge breakthrough!
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
Sync settings are under Users and Accounts and under each account is account specific sync settings. On the latest Beltz I did not have to adjust any sync settings to achieve deep sleep. For example, under the Google account settings I have everything set to sync and my phone still goes into deep sleep. My wifi is also set to always on and that doesn't affect deep sleep on my phone either.
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
It's not a Google Account syncing issue. Guaranteed.
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
Well, there was that and some other things I did. I had to make sure location scanning, wifi scanning, and bluetooth scanning were all turned off. This probably did the trick because it was until I rebooted my phone it deep sleep started working. Also, make sure GPS is not using high accuracy.
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
In case y'all aren't aware, there are settings for instant tethering and instant apps in settings->Google. These have been battery drain culprits.

[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Clean flashed Nephilim 2.0, recommended gapps from G+, Magisk 15.3 yesterday. No issues with Deep Sleep on day 1. Took it off the charger this morning, and hasn't slept yet. Screen off (awake) for 2 hours now. Haven't installed any additional apps yet. Oh well. :)
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
Strange behavior.

I had deep sleep issues with every ROM I tried (and I tried almost everything out there!).

I experienced the same behavior as yours.

But when I started to use the recommended gapps from Nephilim G+ page, problem solved.

Mu shamu deep sleeps just fine with every ROM I throw in.

Now I run Nefilim 2.0 and for now it deep sleeps as intended.

It is my one and only device so I use it without compromises.

Loaded with 90+ apps and behaves like a good trained whale!

Edit: I always perform clean flash before installing a new build.
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
Ya. I've been using "gapps_arm_8.1.0_10-18-17-R3Ds" from Nephilim G+ page.

It was sleeping fine the first day (yesterday), but hasn't slept today at all. I'm positive if I reboot, it'll sleep fine for another day or so, then go back to no deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Nephilim 2.1 is around the corner. Stay tuned (WIP)
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
Yeah not sure if other ROM's do this but every time I clean flash, it asks for a factory unlock pattern. Plus it even knows my email address associated with Google along with some other settings like my Alarm clock and the actual settings in Android.

Nevertheless, not sure if it's just Oreo but I actually managed to get deep sleep overnight clean flashing Nephilim 2.0 and restoring all my apps. I skipped restoring some apps that were from Google just to see if it made a difference.
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
I believe

You probly have" find my device "enabled in security settings,it's in case your phone is lost,stollen.it can only be reactivated on the last email account,untill you clear it from your account.i ran into this with a used phone I bought off swappa,seller factory reset the phone before sale but did not unlink it from his Gmail,,(he did fix it just was a pain)
[Nexus 6  General] jtiesinga:
What's up with the font on Beltz 8.1 2/8 build. Can it be changed?
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
anybody know suggested gapps for dirty unicorns?
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
It's posted on their official site so just search on Google :)
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
I never changed fonts. It's always the same since first released. Maybe you changed it and forget about it.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
I used open_gapps-arm-8.1-nano-20180201-UNOFFICIAL.zip, working fine :)

Flashed Velocity 20171027, OpenGAPPs stock and Magisk. Its just stock like experience, stable and smooth. Thanks to developer.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
I'm not sure but I think its not on XDA, please find it here Moderator Edit: The owner of the ROM linked here prefers not to promote it on XDA. Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
hi, do you know if hotspot is working with new build of 20171017. earlier build was having an issue if not showing up on other device
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Sorry Ajay, I've switched to stock Nougat for Google Assistant on lock (and off) screen. I used USB tethering while on Velocity but didn't use WiFi hotspot.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Thanks for your reply. I am currently on Six ROM Oreo, great ROM but facing RR atleast once in a day.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
I'm on Six Oreo v2.0 with no random reboots at all. Have you tried a different version kernel for it?
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Interesting... What kernel are you on then? Sigma 10? Or some other one...
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Not yet, just know of Sigma Kernel but not sure how it would work on Six ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
Whatever came with the ROM
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
On previous build of Velocity I got this problem right after clean flashing, then I rebooted to recovery and cleared davlik and cache, did same with new build, problem solved.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
I asked because even after clean flashing SiXrom 2.0, with its kernel I still got RR every now and then. Haven't restored any apps using Titanium Backup as well. Strange.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
From what I've been reading in the telegram channel is that some face the RR problem and some don't. Something with different hardware or something.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
I'm on S.i.X v2.1 (default kernel), not even a single random reboot.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
Same here and about to hit 6 and half hours SOT
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Hi Wolf,

Do you use Google Assistant? I flashed OpenGAPPs Pico with ROM, then installed Google app from PlayStore, assistant was not working, so flash zip with Velvet.apk, now its working on unlocked screen without training but if I train, it stop working altogether. I tried S.i.X GAPPs with same result.
[Nexus 6  General] pinkfloyd3:
i have one problem with six 2.1

my band will not connected !

sorry for my bad english
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:
No, I don't use assistant.
[Nexus 6  General] Stroky:
Copy that.

Works Really perfect and it looks and feels even better then oxygen beta on my oneplus 3

Edit :

Just had a reboot. Phone was lying on the desk and connected to the Wlan.

Lost root after that. Will try it without root for a few days. Maybe thats the solution.
[Nexus 6  General] pinkfloyd3:
i have same problem with crdroid rooted by magisk !

RR and losing root ! several times

but now i try supersu and is work fine

[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Any details/numbers regarding this "much improved"? Compared to the previous release or to other 8.1 ROMs?
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
i clean flashed the previous version and battery was horrid and plagued with reboots for me, nothing like that so far on the latest
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
can anyone tell me if DU has expanded desktop option
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
One of my favourites ROM. Smooth, stable, battery efficient.

Is there a changelog?
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
Hi,

I use the latest version of the ROM BELTZ.

Here is the upgrade procedure I used :

1. wipe /system/cache/dalvik cache

2. flash beltz Rom

3. flash open_gapps

4. flash Magisk

5. wipe /cache/dalvik cache

6. reboot

Since then, my phone has been switched off while I have 10/20% of the battery left.

Can I recalibrate my battery ? (app,...)

Thanks !
[Nexus 6  General] vasolini:
Same here. And to think, it's still just an RC! Awesome rom.

DU latest build, anyone use Picture in Picture, how do test if it is working, please share.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Yes, its working. I just checked on whatsapp video calling.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Thanks, how do switch to PIP mode, like if playing full screen video in Chrome, when I press home it just close and show home screen.

Edit: Got it working using this https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/enable-android-os-picture-picture-mode-right-now-0176848/

Is this a only way to use PIP or there's something better, I mean just pressing home key.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Atleast I am not using above way. Its working for me even in Chrome when I am playing movie in full screen mode.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Depending on how hard he pushed his battery, this may be only a temporary fix. The normal recommendation is to replace the battery, though I totally understand how people might be reluctant to do that since you have to take the N6 apart.
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
Thank you, I'm try !

Procedure followed :

1. Power off your phone.

2. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot.

3. Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"

4. Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Yep, that's it. It's nothing magic, just corrects the misreporting of the battery level that comes from chronic crackflashing.

[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
I don't use most of custom features, just voice, text, some apps and camera, all working perfect for me. Not even a single reboot or lag, no battery issue, easily getting 5+ hours of SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
It's not clear, on which ROM?

Tried that already, nexus 6 nexus 4 but no Shamu builds available
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about here, but....[emoji39]

The discussion in the BananowyPotwor CleanAOSP thread, it sounds to me like they were getting the source ripped off and it wasn't ready for prime time yet. I wonder if that's where the AFH files went.

[MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION], I will confirm that searching on AFH won't get anything for the N6.

[Nexus 6  General] :
Oh that's funny I do it all the time, they probably moved them to a more secure place then. I have been trying out the builds from there, but it could be available to just devs on there..I never looked on my phone till now
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
I have it downloaded on my laptop but it's an old build from December. I don't think I have seen a newer build available to anyone. There are much better choices out there that have been updated recently. Beltz builds are based on Camcorys base I believe. I would try that one out he just released a new build.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
New Beltz??,............Hooray ?. Downloading it as I type
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
I have the latest Beltz 8.1, no custom kernel. My screen won't even turn on half the time. i.e. I turn it on and it stays blank but obviously the phone thinks its on, volume keys work etc.

I'm just tired of how unstable the N6 has become, it used to be rock solid stable till Marshmallow but sadly ever since then its unsupported with crap battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
Beltz is nothing but stable for me. Best my shamu has ever felt. Have you replaced your battery? That may very well solve all your problems
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
[MENTION=2690915]ECrispy[/MENTION] - I second the idea it's your battery. Try downloading accubattery.

[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
I had this exact same issue on rr-neo couldn't resolve it but now on beltz and not having this issue. I wonder since they are really different roms if it's a word gapps issue. I would suggest we both try clean install with pico gapps. Willing to help me test?
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
Or the default kernel settings change the demand on the battery.

[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
Androidx is posted by camcory. He is listed as a 'retired developer', but I have seen his name mentioned by other developers as providing support in their efforts. There was a recent version posted on Android File Host. I think it was pulled. I don't know the reason. I tried it on my spare N6, but I did not have it long enough to offer any observations.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Thanks, man. I've asked because there is a new release as of today of his ROM
[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
Thank you for the heads-up. It's downloading on my spare N6 at this moment.

My primary N6 will remain on AOSiP because their CAF merges seemed to have cured the Bluetooth battery drain that is present on all other ROMs for me.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Could you share the link of the ROM you are on now (AOSP is very generic, though) ?
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Link please

Edit: Nevermind, I found it ?
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Accubattery after 17 days says my battery is 87% of the original so I don't think it's a battery issue. Also the beltz rom he is having issues with I have no issues with, I only have issues on rr-neo

[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
Thanks [MENTION=4980030]rfactor117[/MENTION]. It also has SElinux set to permissive, which, for me, rules it out. I don't root and I require SElinux to be enforcing. I'm one of "those guys". ;)
[Nexus 6  General] rfactor117:
Np, Nitrogen just got set to permissive less than 2 hours ago on the last build, up until then its been enforcing.
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
If you look closely at the reply by [MENTION=4386206]AccuNeal[/MENTION], you'll see that it's AOSIP (Android Open Source Illusion Project), not AOSP. You can find that rom easily in this dev forum.

Also, regarding androidx rom, [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] has contributed many early "fixes" to get Oreo going on Shamu. Additionally, unless [MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] has changed it, Beltz rom is based on the work by [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION].

I, myself have alternated between androidx and Beltz since December of last year and have found both to be extremely stable. As for any differences between them, I advise you to check out both for yourself. :)

Mike T
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
:D yeah, you are right. I just read quickly and that's the reason I was so intrigued, since AOSP is so generic. I know very well AOSIP (the ?)

Many thanks for the explanations regarding Androidx. In this case I think will worth to try.
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
I had to look closely at the emoji and then I saw it was the AOSIP owl. Very cool. :laugh:

Mike T
[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
regarding AOSiP

[MENTION=3376095]MikeCriggs[/MENTION] has crafted a superlative ROM in my opinion and for my use:

SElinux = enforcing

Latest security patches

VoLTE and WiFI calling on T-Mobile

Bluetooth with proper battery usage and connect/disconnect to my car (the Bluetooth icon in the status bar is normally gray, but turns white upon connection)

Good battery life and Deep Sleep as measured by AccuBattery

Double tap screen to sleep

Proximity speaker phone

Network traffic in status bar

Pixel launcher with Assistant (needs Assistant from Play Store)

No random reboot in 4 days

Automatic Android Auto connection every time without fiddling or fussing

No root or Magisk. No games. Just sms, calls, xda, Google+, reddit, track daily bicycle rides, news, weather/radar and casting Hulu/CBS/Netflix to my Chromecast. The battery easily lasts all day with a couple hours of SOT.
[Nexus 6  General] head_banger:
Use the kernel from previous build
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
My battery gave similar readings but it was over 2 years old and shutting down around 40%. I replaced it and phone is like new. Just saying it is worth thinking about. Just because accubattery doesn't say it is terriblen doesn't mean it is good
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Ah well, SElinux rules it out for me as well. I guess I also am one of those guys :cowboy:
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Oh I completely agree but in my case the issue is only on one rom. On beltz I have no such issues at all but on rr-neo I have the exact same not responsive screen issues
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Does anyone know if the latest androidx has expanded desktop
[Nexus 6  General] MikeCriggs:
I only maintain the ROM on Shamu for AOSIP. Thank the rest of the team for everything else.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
If you mean proximity sensor it works fine, during a call screen will turn on/off as expected. And no, I haven't taken the phone apart, not that I know how to :)

This may be a gapps issue who knows, I did get the latest unofficial gapps from the thread linked above initially.

Does anyone actually have better battery life, or even similar, with Oreo compared to Marshmallow/Nougat? It seems to me nothing is better in Oreo except for the settings menu!
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Considering that the Nexus 6 is quite old, I'm surprised as to how good the battery life is on Oreo. The best battery life I experienced on the Nexus 6 was on a Stock Lite 7.1 ROM using Franco Kernel but Stock Beltz is pretty darn good.

Investing in a new battery if your having the "Phone dies at 30-40 percent" issue is a must.
