It was always there ( cell standby or mobile network standby ). It's your signal. Easy fix, take off your SIM card.
[Nexus 6  General] sdg1980:
I am a junior here, so please bear with me and if I have overstepped, kindly point me to a thread that will be useful. So far, I used two 8.1 ROMS--Nitrogen and Beltz. On both ROMs I had two issues

a) voice recognition issue when saying Ok Google during set up at the very beginning right after boot)

b) Google Duo audio issues (echoes, hissing/screeching noise, audio not audible either on my side or the receiver side).

I took troubleshooting steps including few complete wipes--data,cache, clean install--on both ROMs, but the voice recognition thing persisted. As for Duo, I never got it to work well (just the audio portion of it).

Has anyone been on the same boat as I have been?

I am back to Google 7.1 stock (Oct 17 build) and neither of those issues are present. So, what could have gone wrong with my experience of the Oreo ROMs?
[Nexus 6  General] runekock:
That part works for me (Beltz rom). I guess it may be a question of which gapps you install - I used these:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569947776
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Same here, used those gapps to dirty flash the last two beltz upates. No issue with voice recognition from any screen.

[Nexus 6  General] chopt51:
On these 8.1 builds my phone acts buggy. (DU, Nitrogen, Nephilim)

1. massive lag every once in a while in while using Google maps beta when using directions.

2. double restarts when rebooting.

Anyone else have these minor issues?

I just updated the radio to 5.51r on Verizon. Still a double reboot on a restart.
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
I'm on Beltz and Verizon and also get double boot on reboot. No idea why just thought it was par for the course with oreo roms since I have had it on all of them so far. Anyone on verizon not getting double reboots?
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
.

I'm on Verizon and also get the double boot. I don't see any harm in it because the second boot is pretty fast.

On a different note, my Google feed have stopped working as has my weather widget.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Thanks, just dirty flashed it. So far so good. I was little worried as I had xposed installed.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Got it thanks
[Nexus 6  General] chopt51:
Have you ever read before that Xposed is to ONLY be installed on stock AOSP ROMs, and it's highly suggested NOT to be installed on a custom ROM base?
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
If you need more customization, try Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 .

The customization depth is enormous .

That's what I am using right now.
[Nexus 6  General] Gysper:
I haven't tried DU or Nitro but nephilim had been the smoothest ROM for me so far.

I get a couple of random reboots but yet again there more like soft reboots and it had never rebooted while I was actually using the phone, only when the phone goes to sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] chrisbrew:
Is anyone having deep sleep problems on Nephilim 1.6? Been running this since yesterday and it sticks at 300mhz. I'm using EX kernel manager but I don't want to mess with the settings.
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
Every 8.1 build I tried, I experienced this specific behavior. It sticks at 300MHz and does not goes deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Have been running since Oreo version is out and specifically for Greenify and Amplify. Getting good battery life and no issues so far.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Ex kennel for me says always 300mhz at the lowest as well, bbs won't work for me at all but Accu bsttery says it's deep sleeping fine. The time I am getting on battery also implies deep sleep really is working.

For me, the only 8.1 rom without deep sleep problems is DU....
[Nexus 6  General] EAK128:
No issues with deep sleep on Belts here, I did get a random reboot per day while the phone was in deep sleep though, thought it might be voltage issue, but after raising them still happened, so had to move back to PN for now. Will keep trying the new Oreo Roms though when I can, thanks to the awesome devs keeping N6 alive.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Yep. Me too.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
I'm on Beltz and my deep sleep is working just fine. On a different note, what up with Google feed (Cards) right now???, the feed is jacked up and weather widget has stopped working??
[Nexus 6  General] kwdan:
I'm currently on ABC rom.. latest release. When I try to lower ring volume, it only lowers media volume. Any way to have volume up/down lower the phone volume?

When "use volume button to control media" is checked.. I can't lower phone volume. Is there a away to leave it checked and still control phone volume?
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Kudos to developers of DU. Getting amazing battery life & SOT for my 2 years old device. Using xposed as well for Greenify and Amplify.
[Nexus 6  General] wolfballz:

[Nexus 6  General] Cristian86:
Hi,

ok, I found the thread. Currently I'm on latest Nephilim with the same behaviour of mobile-standby on battery drain. Did I get it right in the thread: just trie the radio-images listet and stick with the one which works the best?

Best,

Cristian
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Great, is this with stock kernal? Any other settings / apps used to extend battery life?
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Amazingly I get better battery life now with Nephilim then i did when my N6 was brand new ?
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
Yes, try several and find the one that works best. I was on an older radio for the entire time I was on sprint. With that carrier and in my area, any time I tried a newer radio, my signal got worse [emoji849]. I changed carriers and I'm now using the latest radio.

Is there anything additional I need to do - like the latest twrp or anything?
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Yes, update twrp to 3.2.1.0 and then clean flash by doing these:

Wipe dalvik, cache, system & data partitions

Flash rom, gapps & majisk for root

[MENTION=5266159]gothy.gothy[/MENTION]

I think i found the culprit, i mean i guess, do you use Nova Launcher Prime by any chance ?

´Cuz i figured when i use D2TS with "Screen lock method Device Admin" instead of "Root" it won´t work as you said some times, but since i switched to "Root" it´s working without any problems.

Maybe it helps you too Dood.

Hi again,

just gave Beltz_20180130 a shot (again good job there!). Why is there no weather info in "at a glance"?
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
The Beltz ROM is a personal build and it features things [MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] finds useful.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Are you sure was my issue you are referring to?
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
It's a Google problem. I think the latest "Google App" update removed that option. If possible, uninstall the latest update.

Google has also been experiencing problems with the feed not working and "OK Google" not working.
[Nexus 6  General] garywojdan81:
Different launcher
[Nexus 6  General] Cristian86:
Yep, that is, what I figgured. Tried to install the moded pixel launcher but it won't install. Copying it to System/privapp/Launcher3 lead to crash the launcher. Well, since I'm hopping between ROMs, it won't affect me that much. It still remains a great ROM, smooth and great to use.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
I find the nodded launcher 3 is not as good as the standard pixel launcher for this and other reasons. For example it for some reason doesn't show google app widgets like the sound search short cut. I just removed the modded launcher 3 and installed the google pixel 2 launcher as a system app and all works well.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Link please
[Nexus 6  General] Cristian86:
How did you do that?

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 6 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
I just use Chronos
[Nexus 6  General] EternalFlame:
ye ^^
[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
Well I don't have a link per se. Just Google, pixel 2 launcher and find a link on apk mirror or something. Then do this.

Install another launcher so you have one while you remove the modded launcher 3. I use nova but any will do.

Then, use a root file explorer to go into system and find launcher 3 folder and delete it all.

Reboot.

Move the pixel 2 launcher apk you downloaded into the system priv app folder.

Reboot.

Good to go. Now you can remove the temporary launcher of you want (nova for me).
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
I basically did the same except I used Titanium Backup to uninstall launcher3 and to convert Pixel 2 launcher into a system app. Everything seems to be working by doing it this way although there might be some things left over in the launcher3 folder, I haven't checked that yet.
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
pure nexus was the definitive nougat rom but no matter how much i read i can't seem to find out which is the oreo winner 8(
[Nexus 6  General] ktmom:
There were plenty of other 7.1 ROMs other than PN that were as liked fanatically as PN users were about PN. You won't find a post with a hands down winner since that's subjective. This thread is full of contenders and I've settled on one that I'm as happy with as PN. You just have to take a day and try them.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Agreed... Personally in my 7.x days I ran six or RR neo version and liked both much better then PN but so as to not to get off topic as stated above there is no clear better then all the rest rom. Each person uses their phones a little differently and thus each also has different needs and expectations If you follow this thread there are really only a handful of roms people mention over and over in here:

Nephilim (Renown)

Beltz

Nitrogen

Seem to be the most often mentioned though there are certainly others as well. For me I am running beltz it is very very good on battery, nice and fast and rock solid stable. That said you may not like it as it is not nearly as feature rich as a PN or some other roms. It all comes down to a matter of personal preference in the end. I would suggest you do a FULL nandroid backup of your current PN and also a program backup (with something like titanium backup) and just start loading roms. Give each a little time and very quickly you will likely get a feel for which ones you like and don't like.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Ran Pure Nexus until its end tested and ran all the latest Oreo Roms all seemed about equally stable settled on Nephilim most feature rich of the bunch and regularly updated with about 1 new release a week
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
I've been running the latest dirty unicorn build for the last week and it is my favorite so far, the phone sleeps like a baby. Nephilim and beltz are very good but I was consistently having wakelocks and sleep issues using the phone as my daily driver.

All of Oreo builds are still a work in progress and early in development, as time moves on we may see a clear winner. I would suggest you start flashing, the three I mentioned are all great, and see what plays best with your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
This isn't a competition. It's whatever works best for you
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:

How was your battery on Velocity? Was horrible for me. Otherwise it ran fantastic

[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:

Why would deep sleep prevent you from using your device? I've been only using my phone with the screen on awake. I can't see what you need it for when it's in deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
It is a behavior that is abnormal.

Device must fall to deep sleep when the screen is off for a while.

I though it was obvious that this behavior has an impact to battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] spastico:
I like roms with no fluff. Just the bare necessities.

For me; PN was my daily driver. Served me well.

I'm only back here in these forums poking around because PN is no longer supported.

Makes sense.

If it can't go into deep sleep, your battery will drain much faster.

Wondering if anyone knows on Nephilim with all the animation options in the Rom if there's an option to kill the Nephilim fiddler boot up screen and put something else or switch back to stock Oreo boot screen ?
[Nexus 6  General] mezerr:
For the record. Nephilim doesn't deep sleep for me either with Bluetooth on. I've done a clean flash, and just installed the recommended Gapps, and left it for a day. Sometimes it just doesn't deep sleep at all, other times it's fine for a couple hours, then reverts to never deep sleeping. I've had 12 hours of Awake (Screen Off) before. (No apps, just gapps).

Anyway, im over it. I just turn off BT and it's been fine for the last couple weeks.
[Nexus 6  General] xconwayx:
Easiest would be to use Substratum and install the Nephilim theme from the play store. There is an option to change the boot screen. I apply it right away after flashing. Requires root.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
I have like zero experience with Substratum but if I'm not mistaken the Nephilim rom comes re installed with it and also already has the Nephilim theme installed am i wrong ?

If not can someone please just point me to the option to change the boot screen ?
[Nexus 6  General] tsew2674:
Nephilim should have substratum, but won't have the nephilim theme preinstalled. It's in the play store, use it or any other theme that has boot animations included (I'm kinda partial to Spectrums watchdog boot animation myself). It may require root, not sure as I always root... Also, substratum used to have trouble changing the boot animation on encrypted phones. Again, I can't speak on if that's still accurate as I haven't been encrypted in a while.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Ok this is not working for me must be missing some setting I open Spectrum click the nephilim theme click Boot Animations pull down menu choose Stock0 or Stock Pixel click the check mark says boot animation applied reboot and still get the same fiddler ?

What am i missing ?
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
I just flash Pixel_START(NORMAL)_by_LELEKA.zip from here in TWRP for my splash logo and bootanimation. It has worked great for me for over a year.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:

[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
I'm running Beltz but it is not ROM specific. Depending on what you are running you may need to reflash it after an update.

[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Yeah, I'm using it as DD, no issue so far, no lag or reboot, no battery drain, but you know it depends on usage, I don't use NFC and rarely use Bluetooth.
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
And what about features?

Is it like PN or RR or is it stripped out like Beltz?
[Nexus 6  General] spastico:
How do I check to see if mine isn't going into deep sleep?
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
You have to use an app like BetterbatteryStats or Accubattery or Kernel Adiutor.

The more percentance is the deep sleep status (when device is idle) the better.
[Nexus 6  General] Kimd41:
Tried latest DU 8.1 and its pretty unstable. A lot of apps just FC (even native).
[Nexus 6  General] vlaf:
This is your problem, DU is one of most stable 8.1 roms.I have zero problems and zero force closes with DU!
[Nexus 6  General] stivakos:
So... can you use it as a dd?
[Nexus 6  General] vlaf:
Absolutely, just clean flash, use recommended gapps and the magic is happens :).
[Nexus 6  General] alryder:
IMHO, the back and forth about changing the boot animation or anything else related to a particular ROM has run its course and now it's getting personal. Can we all please go back to what this thread is about and discuss the great ROM's provided to us by the talented developers and not argue about why someone would want to replace a feature of a ROM that in their personal opinion they like something different from what is provided in the ROM better? Thank you for letting me express my personal opinion.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Interesting then. I have dirty flashed the 3rd RC build over the 2nd one and I can't say that there was any problem with DU. FYI it deep sleeps like a kitten.
