[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Next your going to tell me that I could do the same thing to switch the round icons in 7.1.2 to square.... :rolleyes:

I HATED when they switched to circles, now I'm used to it. I ummm, I did not realize that was a feature you could just change in Android. I remember back (Samsung S2/S3) when it required like an icon pack and theme LOL! :)

So far so good, exactly what I wanted AND this is the first time Google Pay has worked for me in months. I had it working on 7.1.1 but could not get it working on 7.1.2...

Tried the theme but I don't notice any difference. I even paid the $1.99 for Andromeda. I will have to investigate more later.

Side note, what kernel are you runnning? This seems REALLY slow on the stock kernel compared to even stock 7.1.2... Any suggestions? Figured I would play with Franco Kernel later, I paid for his app.

Give Beltz a try as you're evaluating ROMs. It's in the Android Builder's Collective thread

I'm on Validus 8.1 for the nexus 6. Quite clean and very smooth. I've tried SIX ROM and AICP. Kind of a toss up between AICP and Validus. Six ROM isn't getting new builds I don't think but worked great. Just my opinion.

Hey, how do you like your Nephiboot kernel? I hadn't heard of that one and couldn't find anything in a search. Can you link me to some info?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cianz94:
Try Beltz... Best clean rom ever!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynacopas79:
Toss up between nephilim and beltz. Both smooth and clean
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Yeah I may have to give Beltz a try as I'm having an issue with Clean Aosp. I really like it I'm just having a lot of issues with it hanging up on me no matter what Colonel (voice to text fail that was supposed to say kernel) or no matter what configuration I use.

It literally feels like I'm running on a single-core that's throttled to like a couple hundred megahertz.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
ABC for the N6 was just posted in the same thread as Beltz (linked earlier). I'm very happy with that.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynacopas79:
Beltz ROM is stripped clean. Be ready to choose all your apps. Camera, messaging etc. However it gives you a lot of choices. No random reboots fast and smooth. Have not rooted yet! But I may do that in the next few days.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Does Beltz look like stock 8.1.0 like Clean AOSP or a Pure Nexus ROM would?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynacopas79:
Yes it looks stock. Just stripped down. It basically gives you a clean slate.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynacopas79:
As you can see you have to choose camera, text msg app, browser etc.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
So I installed it and it definitely seems to run better, Beltz that is but is there an already built in default way to get a lighter theme? This doesn't feel very stock to me it feels like it's been themed very dark and also there are some other apps installed that I would not expect to see in a stripped-down ROM. I know I can just install a theme but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a checkbox to toggle between he more pure Google look up verses what I have right now. For example that Google search at the bottom of your picture is black instead of white.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameedf:
Me too, I don't like the dark theme, so I deleted it and installed pixel launcher white instead
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
What did you have to do to delete it and install pixel launcher white? I don't see anything baked in about themes. Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
So apparently Android O 8.1 is supposed to have a theme setting in the display section of settings. I do not see that on Beltz ROM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Ok I reinstalled and now I have the themes menu but I can't seem to get rid of the annoyingly dark windows.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynacopas79:
A lot of the extra apps have to do with the gapps pkg you install. I use pico which is basically the play store app and nothing else. The darker app windows will help battery life. But the pixel launcher will brighten it up.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Oh so that's what I'm missing, the pixel launcher... OK. Thanks.

Edit:

Okay the pixel 2 launcher that works on clean AOSP does not work on Beltz ROM. Fails to install, I guess I'll have to find some other version.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Okay maybe I'm misunderstanding this here but apparently the only launcher that I have is the pixel 2 launcher and I see no way to make those windows lighter.

Am I missing something here? According to my default settings and according to the XDA Labs app I have the pixel 2 launcher baked right into this ROM and that's the one that sent to active in fact that's the only one that I have to pick from.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dynacopas79:
Could try nova launcher they use white background by default. I know you can select the slider for app draw or button depending on what you like.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameedf:
I used sd maid with magisk to delete it
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
What did you install in its place? I was able to use an app to remove the baked in pixel launcher but the one that is referred to as the pixel launcher to would not install on this ROM. I'm just trying to figure out how to get rid of these dark windows and apparently themes don't do it either.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameedf:
You can delete it and restart your phone, then go to sitting, storage, files and install pixel white.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Yeah I'm doing something wrong I don't understand what pixel white is? The current pixel launcher that I have installed it is a white icon, the one that everybody told me to install is blue. The blue one is called pixel 2 launcher? And it doesn't appear to be compatible with beltz ROM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
Post a link to what apk you're using. Because of the 64-bit vs 32-bit, the pixel launcher has to be ported to the N6.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
Well it works on my end 6 if I'm using clean AOSP so I just assumed that it would work on this. Hold on!

Hello everyone, my question is how much delay Firmware Finder to authorize updates? Since end of December I figure Oreo for my C185 and for now is still not authorized for installation
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] 5[Strogino]:
About month for normal updates.

There can be updates which never released by Huawei. Don't know why Huawei posts them on to HiCloud.

P.s. Migration to Oreo is not normal update.

It is too hard to determine what update is truly normal, cause Huawei rules FUT program and no info what region finished beta and went to release.

Simply, If you read that someone received update via settings/system update -> fact of release.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] cobraxxx123:

Hi,

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurcay:
Up
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If those two partitions contain the IMEI, they cannot be offered as applying them to your device would in effect be cloning the IMEI, something which is illegal here in the US and most everywhere else to boot.

I'm afraid you're looking at having the device serviced, if your backup doesn't work.

I know the question has been asked here before, but what i'm looking for is not one of those single ear head headsets. I want a decent, price should be not too expensive (read, I'm not spending $500 but $100 would be a good price), and work well with the mogul.

If it can handle taking phone calls as well, that's great.

I am pretty happy with my new Plantronics Voyager 855, which are convertible, mono/stereo.

They are probably not the ultimate in sound reproduction, but they suit my purposes well. I am an avid classical music fan, and have a good ear. I like the convertibility feature very much. I can listen to music with just the main earpiece, or with both.

Ben
[General Accessories] jakethespud:
Before I bought my S9s, I read the reviews on Engadget. They received more reviews than any other brand. While a couple read, "these suck," the majority said that the quality was top notch for a b/t headset.

The problematic parts will be the earbuds, which, based on your head size, may or may not fit all the way into your ears. Also, the entire headset is an active mic, so when talking on your phone while riding the subway, your caller will hear everything.

For me, I only hate it when the high back collar of my ski jacket interferes with the back of the head strap. I don't have this problem indoors, at the gym, or in warm weather. I can even listen to music while lying on my side.

Before you choose any headset, ask to try them on for fit. You won't have any problem with audio quality.

I sync my headset to my laptop to listen to music, and it automatically switches to the phone for calls. I also connect it to my phone for portable music without re-pairing.

I would like to back-to-back compare these to the Bluetrek ST-1. But no retailer in my neighborhood sells them.

Cheers.
[General Accessories] reddhanky:
Voyager 855 vs. Motorola S9

I own both the Voyager 855 and the Motorola S9. I find the stereo sound quality on both of these headsets to be nearly equal (very good quality).

I find myself using the Voyager 855 more because they are more comfortable. The S9's get in the way when I'm laying back in the passenger seat of the car.

Another pro for the Voyager 855 is that the telephone quality is superior, not to mention that you hear the conversation in BOTH ears, instead of just one.

I keep both because the S9's are better in wet climates (I live in Portland, OR) so if it's raining out and I'm going to be outside, I put on the S9's.

When I first bought the Voyager 855's, I thought the sound quality was awful. When I went to return them to the store I bought them and complained of sound quality, the rep showed me how to properly insert them into the ears... WOW what a difference when you have these things seated properly in the ear!

I think you would be happy with either headset. Before you buy, make sure you understand the return/exchange policy of the store. These things are not cheap and you don't want to get stuck with something that doesn't fit your needs/lifestyle.
[General Accessories] BigBen:
After a few days' of use of my Voyager 855, I found that the volume of the main earpiece seems very low. When I use both earpieces, the volume is much better.

I have contacted Plantronics, who have offered to replace them. I wonder if I am not fitting the earpiece properly, as you were doing? Was your volume low until you learned to insert them properly into you ears?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
[MENTION=6560619]Samir2298[/MENTION]: try to get adb-access before flashing anything. Google for adb-mini-package. If your device is recogniced on PC, you can copy your data by 'pull', delete them on device and overwrite the free memory with dummi-data.

Afterwards, flash firmware with Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shivadow:
Flashing the exact same firmware via odin will replace all the broken software without deleting your data. As to whether it'll remove the lockscreen is another issue but it is the 9nly way I know of without twrp, of which you'll need a working screen.

If you don't have USB debugging on then you're not going to get far with a pc and adb. If you DO have usb debugging enabled then do as the other member said.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curiousrom:
S3 Dead screen + lock pattern

Dead screen + lock pattern + USB debugging disabled = pay a local phone repair guy (or your buyer) to temporarily connect a S3 screen > unlock it > connect to his PC & copy data to thumb drive & factory reset.

Sales price - guy's fee = profit.

Or working S3 turned off side-by-side with broken one for temporary screen assistance as per more or less post #18 from which the photo in the attachment was taken from: https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...w-transfer-files-galaxy-s3-broken-screen.html
