Latest beltz for shamu

[MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] has posted an updated beltz for our precious shamus:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75885420&postcount=21161
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
If anybody is kind enough to let us know his impressions regarding the latest Beltz... would be very useful for all of us.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6  General] xconwayx:
I see Nephilim 2.2 up for download on AFH.
[Nexus 6  General] dramalicious:
I will flash it in about 1 hour. Just finished work and need to get home

Edt. If someone is faster, please tell if double tap on homescreen to sleep is present. Thank you.

Alex
[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
My impressions are fast, clean and stable.

I always clean flash. In TWRP, wipe individually each partition except for internal storage. I do not use magisk or substratum and only apps from Play Store. Flash ROM, pico gapps from opengapps.org, and facelock-all https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/files/1618900/Facelock-all.zip in that order with no re-boots between.

The ROM has many things with I really like:

SELinux = enforcing.

Center clock.

double tap to sleep on any screen (don't tap on an icon).

Quick un-lock after entering pin on lock screen (no need to tap OK).

at-a-glance date and weather.

Pixel launcher with Google Now cards to the left.

Launcher allows for setting columns and rows for icons.

Network traffic.

Battery percentage not only in status bar but also on amoled display.

Included apps are few: phone, contacts, clock and files.

Phone app includes proximity sensor for automatic speaker phone.

Get all other apps from Play Store.

[MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] builds his ROMs exactly as I would if I were able and had the machine to do it.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Thank you for sharing your impressions.

Compared to other ROMs (no need to say their names) do you find it better, or even ... the best?
[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
Yes, it is present and a must have for me. :)

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

In my opinion it is the best

for me

. I am retired and have two N6s for testing (both batteries recently replaced). That equates to lots of time to play. Every ROM that I can find has been on one or the other of my phones. Every ROM has been clean flashed. I move my T-mobile SIM card back and forth between phones.

My uses are simple: I don't play games or do any social media except for xda, G+ and reddit. I track my daily bicycle rides and walks with cycledriod and Fit.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
If you or someone else installed Beltz and is using Bluetooth headset, is the headset battery percentage present?
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
All the 8.1 ROMS are phenomenal. There is no "Best" ROM per se but instead personal preference defines "Best".

I personally use Beltz and like it "Best" but that does not mean it is the "Best". Though, ever since I've been using Beltz, I have not touched my Moto Z Play. ,?
[Nexus 6  General] AccuNeal:
Yes, that is exactly right. "Best" is a personal assessment and by no means does it demean other ROMs which was not my intention. I should state that more clearly. The work done by developers is to be applauded, and not comparatively demeaned by us users who depend on their work.
[Nexus 6  General] BobAzzon:
Support is not stopped, Frankie has said.. since March update broke Subs, hes not going to update until the issue is fixed, yeah he can work around it but he'd rather have a fix than some (placebo) fix. Plus he stated updates will be slower since he has the rom pretty much how he wants it to be. It's still running great and honestly if it isn't broke......
[Nexus 6  General] xconwayx:
Not sure if this is just me, but Cypher 5.3 is draining my battery like none other. I was on the last DU and my battery was pretty amazing. Been on the charger all afternoon and still hovering around 70-80%.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Whats does it mean broke Subs ?

Yeah runs good just nice when the rom gets updated monthly when google updates it is all
[Nexus 6  General] BobAzzon:
It's all over the place, Googles March update broke substratum..themes don't apply without going through a 3 step process with a reboot. Why update when everything is running smoothly. It seems every month Google breaks something.
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
am i missing something on screwd or are you supposed to magically know the hex numbers or html code or whatever it is to change the notification light for separate apps...?
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Lol I don't really follow the rom scene so i guess i missed the latest substratum drama

I never really even used substratum much the one time I used it i was trying to just load stock bootup and get rid of Nephilim violin theme and never can get it to work have to flash some third party fix file to get the job done every time i update Nephilim

It could be very possible to receive soon a ... P ROM from one of our developers ...

Unfortunately, not sure how soon, but for sure is work in progress for our beloved Shamu ...
[Nexus 6  General] PhreighnQ:
No developers can start on custom P ROMs until P gets released to AOSP. I haven't seen any announcements about that happening yet.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Don't talk if you don't know ....
[Nexus 6  General] PhreighnQ:
I usually see posts about new versions being released to AOSP. Also historically Google relases previews before they add the code to AOSP. Since the first preview just came out, it is extremely unlikely for them to have committed it to AOSP yet.

There is no reason to start asking about P ROMs until it gets released to AOSP.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Ok...
[Nexus 6  General] vasolini:
Same here, but still pretty good rom overall. The battery life is incredible.
[Nexus 6  General] :
P is coming from a few of us. All it takes is a reverse engineering of the dev preview for the sailfish..and then a port ...
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
So you are on the new DU RC? Any impressions, please?
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
i like du the most but found the battery life on screwd with elementalx to have the best battery life, ive lost count of how many oreo roms ive flashed
[Nexus 6  General] vasolini:
It's one of the top two roms I like. I use it for a daily driver, and only in the past two days have I had any issues/reboots. It's been pretty smooth otherwise and the battery for me, anyway, has been incredible. I also like the customizations they've put in the "Dirty Tweaks" section. They also have in the app drawer an "Updater" icon so you check for, and download any of the latest builds.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Which is the second preferred ROM and what incredible SOT have you got?

Thank you
[Nexus 6  General] vasolini:
Ya know, I never really look at the sot! I just notice that once I take my phone off the charger in the morning, I never have to plug back in during the day with normal use (normal for me anyway). Usually by the time I go to bed, I still have about 50% left on the battery.

As far as the other favorite rom I like, (it's just personal preference), is ABC_rom. Very stable with most of the little tweaks I enjoy from DU, but not all.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
If you like ABC, you could consider as well the Beltz ROM, maintained by the same person and based on the same tree (camcory's one), but having more features than ABC. Just a suggestion...
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
Beltz doesn't have more tweaks than ABC. Which is why I use ABC instead of Beltz. There are a couple of things in ABC that I've been told won't get added to Beltz.

[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:

Wondering if this is a known issue with Nephilim or Magisk 1600 - 1610 or if anyone else is having it ?

I keep getting theres a Magisk update available popup message asking me if i want to upgrade the update always fails i loose root says magisk is not installed then I have to reflash with Twrp ?
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
As I remember, had this issue when on Nephilim, now on Beltz, got Magisk app udate, it downloaded and installed fine. Sometimes it shows 'Magisk stopped working' error but otherwise root is working without any problem.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
So is it all upto personal preference and individual device differences at this point? Or do we have some consensus on which of these - Beltz, AICP, AOSIP, Abc, Niitrogen, Screwd, Nephilim, DU, CypherOS - are the most stable?

Minor feature differences aren't imp, what's imp is things like stability (no reboots), deep sleep, battery life etc.
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
Beltz
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
I think its up to personal preference. Used Nitrogen, Nephilim and Dirty Unicorn, all are stable ROMs, no major issue, now on Beltz, it's my favorite because of simplicity.

I dont know is it gapps issue or rom, but I cant update or download apps on google play store. Its show that downloading, but nothing happens. Im using latest Beltz rom and stock gapps. I wonder how can I update gapps to the latest? Do I need to flash only gapps or I need dirty flash rom and than gapps?
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I personally wipe /system, then flash ROM, GApps, Magisk, and my personal mods, in that order. I would recommend doing that, and doing so with the latest GApps package. The unofficial GApps packages apparently were the cause of a random reboot I would have once a day, because the reboots stopped once I used an official package.

For Gapps you have these three choices:

1.Official Gapps

2.Unofficial Gapps by DU

3.Unofficial Beans Gapps

As for flashing:

Wipe

Dalvik,System,Data,Cache from Twrp

Then flash Rom+Gapps+Magisk(if u want)

Then just reboot!

any suggestions ?

Beltz or ABC, I use ABC for additional settings.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Have you tried Nephilim wondering if there as feature rich

Are they both running off March update ?
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Yeah, Nephilim is wonderful ROM, I tried almost all Oreo ROMs available for Shamu, finally settled on ABC. Better you backup your current setup and give ABC (if you need some additional features) or Beltz a try.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
In these couple of months (since I have two Shamu's) I have been fooling around with DU, Nitrogen, ABC and Beltz. Right now I am on Nitrogen and DU and probably will flash Beltz again, after the April security update. All of them have been very good so far and for me the most stable of all those Oreo ROM's out there. And they get updated pretty often, once or twice a month at least.

In the end it all depends on what you want from a ROM. If you like it being simple with enough features but not too much, then use Beltz. If you need more features yet a stable release then go ahead and use the other three that I mentioned. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks. It was the page you linked to that got me to my question. The Androidx link takes me to AFH for download. After searching XDA relentlessly for instructions on both Androidx and Beltz I decided to post the question. It seems that the instructions are the same for most all the ROM's except which gapps to use. Also I can never find the "OP" that some posters refer to when gapps questions are asked. Guess I'm still too noob after messing with my Nexus 6 for over a year now!

As far a beltz is concerned, you'll be fine with a minimal open gapps package. I use nano.

[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
For the sake of experimenting, I downloaded and ran LOS Beta 4. Tested GPS by using GPS Status App.

I went and recalibrated the GPS which always resulted in reboots in every other ROM. This time it worked. Did the experiment a couple of times more, again with the same result.

So kudos to you man and to other's who worked on this. Keep up the good work :good:

After upgrading to the 3/27 release of Beltz I have had to toggle NFC off and then back on every time (3 times) I have tried to use Google Pay. There are no visible errors when it doesn't work, the terminal just doesn't register that my phone is near. After toggling it works fine. I have rebooted my phone in between each time I have tried to use Google Pay so maybe that has something to do with it. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

A little off topic here, but I just wanted to say how amazed I was this weekend with the response of the community when the lead LOS developer for Shamu announced that will drop maintaining Shamu because his phone broke (some of you probably saw that announcement on their forum as well).

Immediately after that, a lot of users offered to help him buy another Shamu, just so that he could continue the development. In the end someone bought him a new phone. Now al is well :angel: The great work being done by LOS team on Shamu will continue and I expect a solid build of LOS 15.1 to be released tomorrow :highfive:

Another very good ROM joins the list for Shamu. Happy days :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:

I agree, very strange. I am running Beltz with the stock kernel, nothing out of the ordinary.

After changing that setting yesterday I got a message that I can no longer use Google Pay on my phone and now the Magisk Hide setting will not stay enabled in Magisk Manager.
