[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
Which gapps did you use? And did you clean flash?
[Nexus 6  General] selw0nk:
GZR Gapps and sometimes Open Gapps mini. I don't have problems with Google Play Services eating up my battery.
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
Ooops, wrong person, sorry lol
[Nexus 6  General] selw0nk:
:silly::eek:
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
Had the same problem. The newest beta Google Play Services (11.9.49 beta are the ones I used) from apkmirror fixed it for me.
[Nexus 6  General] pinkfloyd3:
fixed for me too thank you ;)
[Nexus 6  General] BUZZAPT:
Problem to start

Hi. after install the rom. i restart the cellphone, it prompts the pattern, but it don't recognize my pattern. what can i do?

I reinstall factory image for now
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
This seems to work for some people, if you can get into TWRP..

Boot into Recovery

Mount - System Partition

then go to Advanced - File Manager

Go to data Folder and then system Folder

Delete locksettings.db File
[Nexus 6  General] greeneyez15o:
Seems to be occurring on multiple ROMs
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
It's an Oreo bug. Google claims it's a high priority to fix.
[Nexus 6  General] greeneyez15o:
Does it only happen when pin/pattern lock screen is being used ?
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
I believe so. Hasn't happened to me personally and I don't use either.
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
It happened to me a few builds ago, I was encrypted and had to format data in TWRP to get back in. I'm still decrypted and having no more issues. If it hasn't happened yet, might be best if people back up their data and decrypt to try to avoid it
[Nexus 6  General] pinkfloyd3:
Camera is not work in last build right? Or just only me?!
[Nexus 6  General] fraz14:
Camera works fine.
[Nexus 6  General] BullSpit:
I wanted to drop a thank you to the dev for this work. My phone currently is showing over 32 hours uptime.

Not a single random reboot since flashing.

Everything works as it should, so far.

I forgot to mention I am on the latest, 16.4.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Good to hear... Btw did you restore any apps using Titanium Backup?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] BullSpit:
Partially. I mostly restored from my Playstore library and used TIBU to restore data on some. These back ups were from a 7.1.2 ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
That was the thing I wanted to hear. Thanks, you have been a lot of help.
[Nexus 6  General] BullSpit:
Good!

Glad to help!

Two days, 8 hours and 41 minutes uptime. Not one random reboot.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr.Demous:
Did anyone try EX Kernel Manager for oreo on this rom? Does it work?
[Nexus 6  General] Setialpha:
Yes and yes.
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
A little teaser from [MENTION=5283048]TheRingMaster_GzR[/MENTION] :)
[Nexus 6  General] namzahoy:
I also have the Google Assistant issue. Tried to train my phone to be able to say "OK Google" at any time, but when I try to record, before I can say anything, it immediately switches to the old "Sorry, your recordings don't match closely enough. Let's start again" screen. This feature works on some other Oreo roms I've tried, so hopefully a fix is coming soon. If I reboot my phone, it's the first thing that I get asked, to record my voice for "Ok Google"... I would if I could.

The packaged kernel doesn't allow for vibration control intensity, but I actually haven't found an Oreo rom that has vibration intensity working properly (my desired vibration level keeps resetting back to 100). ElementalX kernel 5.0 allows for vibration control that doesn't reset afterwards, and it works well with Validus 16.4 build (well, no perceived issues yet). It also seems to have working NFC, like 16.4.

I previously mentioned an Android Auto issue with 16.3, not being able to proceed with the final step of pairing with my vehicle, but I haven't had time to test this out yet. I've installed Stock Gapps right now, so maybe it will work?

UI issues I've noticed with 16.4: I use PIN unlock to unlock my phone. But if I pull up the PIN pad, and at any time, I back out of the process (use the back onscreen button), my lockscreen goes almost totally blank. I actually don't even have any of the onscreen buttons at the bottom (mic, unlock, camera) and it does not return if I press the power button to turn the screen off and on. I have to pull down from the top (at the status bar) to see things again. And every once in a while, my app drawer hasn't returned to the top of the apps, it sometimes resumed to where I backed out.

All and all, a great update and an excellent replacement for the Pure Nexus rom. I haven't experience any reboots yet (3 days) and only a few system slowdown/hiccups.
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
What gapps were you using?
[Nexus 6  General] namzahoy:
GApps 8.0 Stock
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
Some people have said clearing Google app cache/data and even cache/data in TWRP helped.
[Nexus 6  General] BullSpit:
Where is the "ElementalX kernel 5.0" you mention? I did not see it listed at https://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-6/ .

Thank you.

Please disregard my question, I saw it is available through the EX kernel manager.
[Nexus 6  General] selw0nk:
You have to download the app and the kernel will install. I too am looking for the 5.0 link for the kernel as the app won't let me download it. The app says it's not compatible for me. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.exkernelmanager
[Nexus 6  General] BullSpit:
It would not install for me when I selected custom install. It showed that it did flash successfully, however my device status showed it as the original kernel. I downloaded it again and chose express install and it did "stick" that time, Device status shows it as EX 5.
[Nexus 6  General] selw0nk:
Let me know if you find the standalone kernel so I can flash it manually in recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] namzahoy:
This was not the case unfortunately.
[Nexus 6  General] lazer77:
You can flash it manually but kernel is only available through app.
[Nexus 6  General] AmalD:
Anyone received 8.1 update or rom file o.O
[Nexus 6  General] Setialpha:
No, as mentioned, iz's a teaser, not a release (yet).
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
When it's released, I'll link it on this post. It's not ready yet
[Nexus 6  General] BullSpit:
Over 4 days up time

4 days, 1 hour and 30 minutes as I type this.

I did have 2 random reboots after the initial flash with the stock kernel.

I flashed ElementalX 5.01, manually, and not one random reboot since.
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
Here's a peek at what the team has been working on, it's still in testing ;)
[Nexus 6  General] javiharis:
:good:
[Nexus 6  General] namzahoy:
Hey, just an update. Android Auto does not work properly on 16.4, but it's not you guys, it's Google:

http://piunikaweb.com/2017/12/15/an...nnectivity-issues-with-nexus-confirms-google/

Which goes to show you, Oreo isn't fully baked yet.

Still a lovely rom. Some random reboots usually associated with stress on the machine (gaming, or resource intensive transitions), but I'll chalk it up to Oreo itself. I'm subscribed to a few other roms, and a lot of them suffer catastrophic problems, so I'm very thankful to the developers of this rom and the Shamu maintainer.
[Nexus 6  General] bfmetcalf:
Some roms have a setting in their custom settings area that is enable mtp. Make sure that isn't checked out Android auto will not connect.
[Nexus 6  General] namzahoy:
Yep, I cycled through all the USB settings (mtp, charging, etc) and it's not that
[Nexus 6  General] bfmetcalf:
This is a different setting. In the republic of madness rom it was under RoM settings, and was a check box to enable mtp, it needed to be unchecked. Seen that problem on a few ROMs, it's been a long time since I ran validus though, so I can't remember exactly where it was.
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
Ok Google should be fixed in the next build ?
[Nexus 6  General] Char_G:
Happy New Year, everyone! We haven't forgotten shamu, the devs are working hard on a new build for our beloved whale. ❤️

I Guess it should be GS
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
If your MCU does not start wth "MTCD" or "MTCE" its not MTCD/E unit, try the Android Headunit general forum.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] cagdas:
Thanks I found the right one finally but the hu says please wait and news starts the process.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Where did you find it ?

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Can you share a link to the file ?

And post a screen shot of your MCU ? (it should b "v2.56" not "Vs 2.56").
[MTCD Android Head Units General] g.mariano85:
HI this is the link and screen. Thanks

https://yadi.sk/d/umCvHqCDzHccr/All dmcu for PX3, PX5, Intel Sofia3g/CHS
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
As far as I know you can, but Sofia mdels have the wifi on the SoM, so the MCU may have some differences, do you have a copy of an older CHS MCU ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] g.mariano85:
No, I'm sorry, I don't have any copies. I bought it from a friend. What do you think I risk? I would like to try to update it because I have problems with Bluetooth or do you think it can solve maybe changing roms? But even I wouldn't know where to start, which rom I could put and how. Thank you
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Usually all MTCD/E units use the same MCU and I was always under the impression Sofia units did too, but as I said they have wifi on the SoM which may make a difference as on other MTCD/E units the wifi is on the motherboard, so I m not 100% certain, also the link you posted has "Sofia MCU".

So I would read this thread starting at the beginning to find out for sure.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Green Daddy:
Hi, did you succeed with any update? ROM or MCU?

I have a similar MCU CHS 2.51, BT frequently needs a complete 10s-Powerbutton reset to work....

Tx!
[MTCD Android Head Units General] g.mariano85:
Hi, I also have your same problem with the bt. No I have not tried to update I am afraid of breaking everything not being so heady
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
You could try changing the MCU to a different one - see [MENTION=4974080]marchnz[/MENTION]'s "Verified Cross Compatible MCUs" thread.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Green Daddy:
Thanks. However it seems there is no existing experience for CHS, there is no factory Image available to restore in case it fails and [MENTION=8728281]g.mariano85[/MENTION] and I are both afraid of bricking our units upon trying ?

I do think that any custom ROM will not make a difference (BT is very much MTU related in my understanding) and there is also some risk that the custom ROM will cause other issues on an exotic unit. And we do not have the factory ROM to back out either.

I also tried to contact support. aka „black hole, inc.“ ?

Any further suggestion welcome ?
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
There are no custom ROMs for Sofia units, but if there was, there would be no "risk".

Your only solution is to try changing the MCU - you ll just have to be the first person to experiment with a CHS unit - there are many successful MCU changes in that thread and everyone who was the first to do it was in the same position as you in that there were no "existing experiences" for their MCU. I can remember anyone bricking their unit when trying to change their MCU.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Green Daddy:
Sorry, I do not catch the "Sofia" stuff. My unit is very much similar to the g.mariano85 one (PX3). I attached some details.

Any hint on which MCU could be a good try? (as MTCE-CHS seems not to be if I did understand correctly?)
[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
I ve no idea, sorry, you ll have to read the thread and just try.

[MTCD Android Head Units General] typos1:
Why are you in this forum/thread ? - Your unit has a Rockchip RK3188/PX3 processor, not a Sofia one and the MCU does not start with MTCD or MTCE, so its neither an MTCD nor Sofia unit.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDethEgineer:

Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.
