Remove the mod that you have and then observe if you still get the reboots. If you do, get the log and share.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michaelnothing:
Kind of hard since that mod provides half my default programs to include my SMS program which I need. The reboots really are few and far between.

Also mod Dev suggested ElementalX kernel. Is this a good idea, as I thought you said to use stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
In that case I can not help you. You'll have live with those rare reboots :)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michaelnothing:
Also mod Dev suggested ElementalX kernel. Is this a good idea, as I thought you said to use stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
These 2 are diff. things. I always suggest stock setup; but if you want to try another kernel - you can.

Remember if you face any issues, before posting it here,

reproduce the issue with stock setup (no custom kernel and clean flash of ROM and Gappas and nothing else) and then post it

.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] michaelnothing:
How about just ROM? I don't use gapps,
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
That is even better :0

Blank Screen in Dialer

I'm using the ROM for 2 weeks now with Opengapps package.

The first week I had no issues making and receiving phone calls. But since a few days I have a problem with Dialer: When I make or receive a call, the screen goes off and stays off for the duration of the call. I can hit any button - power button, back, home.... - nothing happens. This is especially annoying when I want to check my voicemail, as I cannot enter the password to even get into voicemail.

After rebooting the problem goes away for several hours or even a day. And then the same thing happens again.

Any idea what I could do to further analyze the problem or to find a workaround?

/Hermann
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I would try a clean flash and see if that solves the issue.

Before that you can check the permissions of the dialer (i.e. phone app) abd clear its data from Settings -> Apps -> phone

With no updates for more than a month, and git commits also about the same, is this project dead?

Updated 28 days ago

Updated 29 days ago

With the last update on https://github.com/Colt-Oreo/android_packages_apps_ColtCenter/commits/cos8.x on the 11th Nov.

I don't like asking for updates (just to get the canned response, "When its ready"). But if a project doesn't produce timely releases, and other rom projects do, why should users stick with the older rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I linked you 2 links. If you still think devs aren't working on it, then it's good for you.

No one is asking you to stick with older rom :silly:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Haizum74:
Hi,

I'm currently running a 7.1 ROM and after a few hours surfing the forums for a good oreo ROM, have downloaded this. I noticed it is unencrypted and my phone is currently encrypted. Will I have any issues or will my phone (when installing) become unencrypted? I don't mind either way, I was just under the impression that they had been some PIN issues, unless I have misread.

Incidentally is there a way to unencrypt if necessary?

Many thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
It is safer to be decrypted. Search in general forums for how to do that.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gettes:
Why is it safer to be unencrypted?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Haizum74:
Well so far the search has revealed that its a simple case of formatting data in twrp after installing the ROM etc. Done that but no joy. Still says phone encrypted in security settings. Weird. Never mind, it's working so kudos on the build. Battery has taken a caning but I am sure that will settle in time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] faaaaq:
did a quick search and didnt see anything similar reported yet, so hopefully someone can assist. This is the only "stable" Oreo rom I have found that doesnt break Project Fi compatibility for me, but I do have a minor issue. EVERY day, between 830pm and 845pm (Central Time), the phone reboots. I am going to try a logcat tomorrow to see if I can sort it out on my own, but am hoping maybe someone here has seen a similar issue or maybe has any ideas? thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] runekock:
Sounds like an app to me. Have you installed any apps that require root?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] faaaaq:
Nope, the only thing I have installed that requires root at the moment is Magisk. It could definitely be that though, if you think it is a root-accessing app. That should be easy enough to test. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
A quick test can be, just install the ROM and gapps and see if you still get the reboot

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] faaaaq:
Simple maybe, but not exactly quick or ideal lol. I am going to check Magisk and logcat first before we get to the extremes of reflashing ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
If you are ok with that reboot then live with it :)

I know it is not ROM related (and that's why I will not spend time on that) and thought that that would help you.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Not really. Devs moves on into more recent phones. Not because people ask is there any update to the rom. The nexus is a great phone but you gotta admitt its been 4 years already since its launch and i dont think development will continue forever. Devs will move on to newer devices. Lucky we have devs taking their time and making roms+updates for this nexus 6 still. Godbless the devs for there time and effort.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] KryptonKal-El:
Can someone tell me which native launcher is included in this ROM? Please tell me it's not Pixel launcher.......
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AbdouRetro:
I thought krypton had technology beyond what humans have ever seen, so modest of you to ask us for help..Kal-El..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheGreatess1223:
I don't know if you are still updating app but I flashed and flashed fix but every time I turn on location phone reboots.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] giannis1288:
I have the same problem, phone do a lot of soft reboots when i turn on gps and maps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Wait for 8.1 version. The dev team is busy in real life so it would take some time

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nanunoran:
Hi Nitin, I would be glad to wait for 8.1 update. I am absolutely not asking for a date or when would it be updated to 8.1 but just curious if you have plans of updating this ROM or should I move on to your NitroOS ROM? Last time I was on Nitro I was having a few random reboots but man this ROM on my unit has been Superbly solid/Bug Free and running stable like Stock. Simply I am loving it and if you are ever going to update this one I would just stick with this one. Thanks for putting together this solid work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheGreatess1223:
No rush was just giving you guys a heads up thats all because I haven't seen any post about it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tecno1:
Are the bluetooth deep sleep and NFC issues fixed in this ROM
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Same question on all threads? Did you notice that this is 8.0 build? :confused:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] pachangaz:
thanks nithin lets try it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
We have 50+ downloads :good:

Please share feedback on the last build. If everything is fine, we'll make it official :)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rakesh.Batra:
Cool !!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Molda45:
Everything is as expected from you. Only downside is the keyboard is too short.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Hey thanks!

You can increase the size of the keyboard, right?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rakesh.Batra:
Pls update the keyboard from play store, size will increase automatically if u dont want to increase it from settings..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pachangaz:
the camera does not work :( clean install any idea? i tried other apps without success.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Restart the phone and see if it works. Camera is tricky on Shamu. It works for others.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pachangaz:
Restared and its working thanks :), i have an smart watch and its working fine with it conected by bluetooth.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
The camera will work!, restart then try it again if it continues to have issues... Restart again.

Hope this helps ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Good to hear that... :D

Do share your feedback about ROM and its features.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Looks like there aren't any issues with the first unofficial build... No news is a good news ;)

Next build will be official one :good:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I liked the features and the subtle graphical additions but I had alot of lag and performance problems on ColtOS. I also couldnt turn off Ambient Displays Lift to Check. It was turned off by default so I turned it back on and then off again but it still persisted to be active. There was a delay of at least 2 seconds to turn on the screen when pressing the power button. I dont use a lockscreen lock. Its pretty and full of useful options but I had performance issues with it. I accidently wiped my internal storage after using Colt so I went ahead and reformatted my phone. Then I reinstalled ColtOS and I got the same performance issues. I went back to the rom I usually use and it was smoother than ever. I say this just to emphasize that I dont think it was my phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks for the report. I suppose you were on stock kernel.

I'm surprised that no one reported this even after 100+ downloads. I feel you can dig a bit deeper (if you get time and are interested) and find out what was causing the delay.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Unreal_Shogo:
I used this rom with popcorn kernel and goes flawless everytime, maybe the lag was by thermal throttle on stock
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Yeah I was on its stock kernel. I ran it a whole day and this was a few days ago. I love your work and this ColtOs, is very nice. If no one else is having the issue I had then its probably my phone. Sometimes the components are made just different enough to change ones experience from anothers experience. My wife and I's Nexus 6's dont run the same even when running the same rom with the same setup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
I have frequently noticed a delay with screen on when using ambient display. Especially right after a notification.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Can you get me the log?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
Is there anyway to install viper and Dolby. I tried v4a 2.71 / 2.5 Dolby digital. Only dd works viper is dead not processing. I did remove stock equalizer and also installed aml but no success of working both together. Both was working flawless with other roms.

I can't get the colt themes to work at all

Also the camera seems slower on this
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
No issues here with Colt themes. Did you clean flash?

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

Came over from Nitrogen today. Definitely like this Rom also. I do have a question and it might not be the right place to ask but when I was on Nitrogen and now on Colt whenever I try to use titanium backup to remove a system app they never do get uninstalled. I am rooted with Magisk and titanium backup has root permissions. Anyone have any idea? I know it isn't Rom related.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Onknight:
Yes Wiped clean and installed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Do you have any other theming apps like substratum installed?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Onknight:
I get the Following Error OmniStyle Isn't Responding After Trying to add a Theme
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Please reply to this question. I think you did something extra or missed something.

Can you write your flashing steps in details?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Onknight:
Yep

(1) Put the Rom andItems I want flashed into a folder on the phone

(2) Boot into Twrp

(3) Press wipe

(4) Advice Wipe

(5) Check The Following System ,Data, Cache ,Dalvik /Art Cache

(6) Swipe to unlock This Deletes the old OS

(7) go back to Main Menu

(8) Install

(9) Flash Colt and Gapps

(10) Wipe the Dalvik /Art Cache

(11) Reboot Phone

(12) Setup the phone

(13) Reboot into Twrp

(14) Install Magisk

(15) Reboot Phone
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
That looks good. But I'm sure this is specific to your phone as no one else reported this (nor for shamu nor any devices that are supported on Colt OS). Just flash ROM and see if the themes work.

I'll be releasing August build soon, may be you can check on that:

In the version 4.5 the UI lags and stutters a lot and makes the phone almost unusable. Can someone else provide their feedback so I can know if it's only me having this problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
In fact the UI is very smooth in this release. How old is your battery?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matchesmalonr:
I had a battery change about 7-8 months ago.

I'll reflash and see what happens.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
Clean Flash?

Nano gapps?

Data restored?

Sir I have Version 4.5... I have no symptoms like you describe and my battery my battery is original and at 78 % life. Please check your battery battery life.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] matchesmalonr:
Yes, I've cleaned flashed and used nano gapps and began the setup as new.

I am probably doing something wrong, I'll keep checking here on my end

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] psychoela:
Hy all, stock kernel this rom have support kcal?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Nitin, I'm sure many people are watching your ROM threads, especially after your announcement of the end of NOS, so I'll risk asking your advice here on whether I should stick with Pixel Dust (I know you're working on a CAF version) or if it would be better to switch to Colt. There's an impressive feature list, looking similar to the PD feature list. I'm asking because there's quite a bit of effort to clean flash, so I'm looking for a long-term ROM, and only you know which ROMs you're intending to support long-term.

Thanks, as always, for your work and advice.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You can flash Colt OS. PD is taking more time than expected and needs a lot of changes for shamu to be built with it. So I'm not sure when it would be out. Also with movement to CAF, the feature list is also started from scratch and for initial few days there will not be much features in it.

So flash Colt OS and as I always do, I'm planning to support this long term.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] leftis69:
Fast and smooth rom, rock solid, tons of features. Perfect combo with nano gapps. A 5-years old phone at his best... :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
All good with today release. I did dirty flash on last build.. Not a single issue. Keep it up Nitin and Colt team.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
The settings item name and description is changed. It's a bug or something new.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tpcrackpipe:
never used this rom before. I am coming from a rom thats about 2 years old. I tried using the old TWRP recovery and the newest TWRP recovery and I get the same result. I full wipe as instructed. I am able to get the rom to flash correctly per the recovery log. When i attempt to boot my phone it gets past the initial splash screen then asks for my encryption password(my phone has never been encrypted) no matter what I type in it tells me that the password was correct but my data is corrupted and I must boot back into recovery. I have tried to flash several times with the same result. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
You will need to format ALL data in TWRP and flash again.

Hope this helps ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
May be some leftover from last version. Flash attached zip via twrp and it'll be fine.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't get the notification light to work correctly. On the latest build. No matter what I set the duration of the led to be it only briefly comes on and then off. I am trying to get it to stay on solid. Any ideas?

Oops, I'll check this out.

Can someone help here?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tpcrackpipe:
I formatted everything. wiped everything again including internal storage. Still gives me the same error.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
Thanks Nitin. That's made it perfect.

How did you format?

Happy that it helped.

Using twrp recovery
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ukSimon:
Led Notifications

I use LED Blinker which works perfectly allowing individual customisation on a per app basis.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Exact steps you used. Often times people say they formatted, but really didn't.

If twrp didn't ask you to type in 'yes' to confirm, you didn't actually format.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
I'll check it out. I was hoping to not have to use another app for it since its baked into the Rom even on a per app basis as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Just installed Colt, coming from Nitrogen. Looks nice. Picking up immediately shows the time, date and notifications. (Was a bit slow in Nitrogen.) Like the going back and forth of pages in the Colt's Hub, just a swipe back and forth. Hope it would work that way with web pages too. The double tap works faster, opening and closing. I couldn't get the default Camera to work on Nitrogen, but here it works. This is just a few immediate notices. Thank you very much for the Nitrogen OS, [MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]. Really enjoyed it, sorry to let it go. :) I hope, there'd be monthly updates as it was with Nitrogen.

Sorry, can't upload the screenshot. There's an icon in the status bar, actually a blue circle without a name.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I've just clean-flashed Colt for the first time. I haven't even got round to trying the optimisations yet, since as usual it takes ages to set up all the accounts.

So far it's been great, right from the most impressive startup logo I've ever seen on any ROM to the stability I've seen over the past few hours.

Another triumph from The Mark of Quality Chobhe™... :)

Thanks yet again, Nitin. Great work.

Edit: And the notification light works too, out of the box, no additional apps needed. Texts leave a steady blue light.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tpcrackpipe:
Boot into most recent twrp recovery. Press wipe(I believe it says wipe) . Wipe every check box. Cache, data, system, dalvik cache, internal storage. All the check boxes, every single one of them. Plug phone into computer to put rom back on phone since phone was wiped. Install rom. Boot and it says the encryption thing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
So, you didn't format. When you select wipe, look for the button that says format. You have to type 'yes' to confirm that you wish to format. If you don't do that, you have not formatted and still have encryption, even if you never set a password for encryption.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tpcrackpipe:
Thank you for pointing out the difference to me. I didn't realize I was being dumb.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] almahix:
New Colt user, transitioning from Nitrogen. I've always admired Nitin's work. His ROMs are stable, reliable, and efficient.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wolfballz:
For some reason my texts won't leave a steady light. It just blinks once and stops. Are you using built in messaging app or a different one?
