Just an update on my Netflix/DRM issue with the latest roms on latest verisions of the Elemental X kernel. I flashed the latest AOSIP and had to use the boot.img from the 4-24 build to get Netflix to work correctly. The previous build from 5-2 also had the issue. The latest 3 builds of it all report version 5.18 of Elemental X but that is not true for all. Commits from later versions of the kernel are included even though it says 5.18 on the latest. Also, the previous version(one build back) of Nitrogen works fine with Netflix. So, if you want to use the latest version of Nitrogen you will need to flash the boot.img from the previous build to get Netflix/Youtube TV working. Just FYI for anyone having this issue.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Do you use greenify with that SOT?
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
Hi,

Thank you for this return.

I use the latest version of Nitrogen (Nitrogen-OS-O-shamu-20180508.zip) and I have the same problem.

Can you tell me exactly what I need to do ?

I need to extract the boot.img from the "Nitrogen-OS-O-shamu-20180415.zip" ZIP ?

And, I flash this file wtih fastboot ? --> fastboot flash boot boot.img

Can you confirm that?

I'm not gonna lose my data.

Thanks !!
[Nexus 6  General] hbenz2008:
Flashing boot will have no impact on data
[Nexus 6  General] Stevica Smederevac:
Why would you fastboot img when you can flash it through TWRP?
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:
some times yes
[Nexus 6  General] indians810:
You need to extract the boot.img from 4-15 build of Nitrogen and flash it in TWRP. Click install, then click on install zip to change it to install Image. Then choose the boot.img to install it.

Remember to refresh Magisk right after installing the boot.img to re-patch the boot.img. Then reboot and it should be good to go. You will not loose anything.
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
Ok, thanks ! I'll try it !
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Okay, so this has been one of my longest tests with kernel settings. I ran this one through the gammit even more so. Every situation I could think of in order to have full confidence in these tweaks. There's a lot so bare with me.

This can be applied to ANY AOSP or Lineage Kernel.

Note: I shared these with [MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] just a litte while ago, he's going to test them out too. Hopefully we can bring the best to shamu for all.

These settings are tweaked tunnables from the App L Speed ( with some adjustments I've made too). Which is also an app I highly recommend everyone check out. But if you just want to set and forget and not worry about messing anything up, this might be your route.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] What about Min/Max CPU and voltages? Did you do anything on those or just leave them alone?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I actually left them alone this time, since I'm not over clocking this round. With the GPU set to 389mhz, that is plenty of compensation for performance instead of over clocking and I think it strikes a great balance.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Thanks! But did you stay with your under volt and under clocked settings is what I meant to say.

Scratch that...I just read it again LOL. You left them alone roger that...Thanks, I'll try these out later.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
On a side note, apparently Google pushed an update to stock 7.1.1 today. Build N8l11F with a patch date of Oct 5 2017.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/8lclr5/nexus_6_gets_system_update_today_52218/
[Nexus 6  General] :
if someone links me the download, since google hasn't posted it, i would be glad to dissect. I just want to know if it is an update to the radio as well, that is always helpful. Oh well i'm sure they will post soon
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Looks like its only in OTA form currently :/
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
After using [MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] new kernel for a couple of hours, with my newest tweaks, I'm liking what I'm seeing.

Nice even disruption of frequencies, and as you can see the kernel is staying at much lower values, which in turn is keeping the device cool and lag free ?

Also for those like me, his kernel doesn't include the YouTube TV reboot bug.

Note: it does run in Permissive mode. Check out his Unofficial Screwd thread for the download link. I'm running this on Beltz.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Thanks again for sharing your settings bud! I would also be interested in seeing the settings that [MENTION=4240132]BigDig[/MENTION] & [MENTION=9064613]MiroALG[/MENTION] are using to get all of that battery life...If they are willing to share. That is some crazy battery life!

I think I finally figured out my deep sleep problem...fingers crossed!
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
it's the modded despair kernel, right? :D
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Might be off topic but I know on the rims I been testing elemental x had deep sleep issues with 517 and 518 and 529 and new seen to have drm reboot issues... Personally I would try a516 kernel and reboot after using bt
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
nephilim_shamu-v3.8-20180523-R3Ds was just posted. :D
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I got it figured out I think last night...I had the Always On feature ticked and it seems that was keeping it from going into deep sleep. Have tested it with 5.19, 5.20 and 5.21 and hitting deep sleep in all of them. Now just need to tweak settings for better battery life and I'll be set.
[Nexus 6  General] hbenz2008:
What feature is that?

Ambient display
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Yes....It's under the Ambient display settings. I turned off the "always on" and started getting deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] teamoushy:
anyone have information on this ? "looks like new update"

https://www.reddit.com/r/nexus6/comments/8lclr5/nexus_6_gets_system_update_today_52218/
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You would think that there would be information, but there isn't. There's only a thread right below this one in the forum with the name "Nexus 6 got new system update" where discussion is happening. So next time, do open your eyes and read. Or at least use the search engine.

To wit, the new update changes the baseband, but the system is still Android 7.1.1.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I got the shamu:7.1.1/N8I11F/4345189 update zip. I manually flashed the previous update, downloaded the new one, then found where it was internally in the device. I uploaded it to my drive, if u guys want to install it, its adb sideload update.zip in terminal after connecting adb and initiating the sideload via twrp. be sure to wipe the phone first too btw.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1kxRx6XpDtQ1U858FWo4AhMaWaIuwD0k1

and did our stock rom have ambient display before? I do not recall that. I think the only change is baseband. gotta look into it some more. but this is it for sure, if u are weary, navigate to the updater script in meta inf and see for yourself.
[Nexus 6  General] MiroALG:

Hey guys I'm on an extended road trip till Wednesday, I won't be updating the thread until next week.

[MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] your test kernel has been so stable, not a single issue while using my phone for 16+ hours for GPS, etc on the road. Excellent work. Going to flash your ROM when I'm back.
[Nexus 6  General] beta1204:
by looking at your screenshots, how to change the default font ?

I use the Nistrogen OS ROM.

Thanks !

Ok so I've scoured the ElementalX forum and even bought the app. How can I download a specific version like 5.18. Moving over to Beltz rom. App only wants to download 5.21.
[Nexus 6  General] FReaX908:
As far as I know it's only possible to download the latest one with exkm.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Doesn't Beltz have EX built-in?
[Nexus 6  General] janjanrex:
Since I just reflashed Beltz I can confirm the current April build has 5.16 built in.
[Nexus 6  General] jonchance_84:
Right, but I wanted to test with 5.18 and so on before going to latest version.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Here you go....

[Nexus 6  General] Blaiser47:
Want to try these out and think I have it mostly set up. However, I can't for the life of me find where to change CPU Scheduler. I am on the latest unofficial screwed and using kernel aduitor but no such section. Also looked at the L speed app but can't find it. What am I missing? Don't have elemental x manager app and would prefer not to have to but it just to change this setting on a non elemental x kernel. Thanks in advance for any help!
[Nexus 6  General] jonchance_84:
Thanks dude, exactly what I was looking for.
[Nexus 6  General] xconwayx:
Ex kernel manager is needed for this.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
I'm using the same kernel. Did you change the cpu governor to "despair"? :)
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
No. Please read my settings post where I've tweaked the interactive governor.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Ok thanks. [MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] 's kernel + settings #3 in OP then. Got it! :D
[Nexus 6  General] Iced T:
Just in case any was going to try, the Unholy experimental does not boot, it sat on the Google screen. The size of the file should have tipped me off. It's only a little over 200 mb, back on Screw'D now, testing out the kernel settings, one question though, do you use any of the hotplugs Zen, mako, or mp decision? I'm currently using mp decision. Settings seem to be just fine at the moment.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I have been testing out different kernel settings including the hotplugs and they're great. on despair governor..
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Are those the only settings that you are using? I'm having problems with deep sleep again, but I think one of my apps is the culprit...testing a hibernate on it now with greenify.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
No issues with deep sleep here, using [MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] new kernel. I will say that I might try the new beta build of Lineage posted by [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] over in his thread as he has been making a lot of big changes in regards to the Power Hal and Bluetooth.

[MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] I tried your ROM yesterday but couldn't stick with it, the over use of rounding the UI was driving me up a wall. I know P is getting closer and closer to release, but maybe make the round UI an option. Awesome work though, feature set seems great ?

I'm starting to research into ROM development myself, installing a Linux distro soon so we'll see what comes of it. I'm a total noob at actual ROM dev.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yea I would like to make it an option but using aroma installers with source built stuff is a little foreign to me..I'll maybe do two builds each time..thanks for the love guys..and yes those settings are all I'm using for now. Every couple days I'm trying new ones though
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Where can I download this kernel (based on despair) and where is the source for it?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Looks like there is a new Velocity ROM build posted to Androidfilehost. Does anyone know if this ROM is from ctfrommn?
[Nexus 6  General] :
The source is from aquarios OS and it's in my ROM. Screwd.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
In your thread for skrewd the github link is to flar2 aka elemental x. The aquarios site seems to link to ONLY a 7.x kernel source. Could you please link me directly to the github source for the kernel your testing as curiosity is getting the better of me.

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] :
Yeah I just switched to that kernel, didnt update my stuff yet.

They dont have their oreo stuff public. What I did was get permission to build and clone into it and check it out that way. It's despair factor's work and Mike Redd.i modified it quite a bit, but it's mostly their stuff
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Roger that bud...Yeah I think it's my Samsung Health app keeping me from deep sleep. I hibernated it with greenify and that seems to have taken care of it...I think LOL.

Awesome...I'm still playing around with settings also, but so far it is doing great. I get off my 12 hour shift in 1.5 hours and still have 50% battery left and I've been using my phone quite a bit today even playing games so I'm liking it.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Ok makes sense... just be careful on xda your not supposed to talk about test or use roms or kernels that don't have posted source.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Evening everyone, I flashed the unofficial 5/29/18 lineage build by [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] in his thread this evening. This build includes a new power hal that is suppose to help with Battery and Performance, its pretty smooth as is, but I'd wait for the official build next week. In addition new fixes for Bluetooth deep sleep.

I would like to note that widevine DRM is working at L1! But the phone reboot bug present in ElementalX in YouTube TV past 5.18 is still present. But sadly key features I've gotten use to like auto face unlock and dark notifications aren't present. So I'm back on Beltz with [MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] kernel.

Some great progress is being made for shamu, thank you devs!
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
I had reboots with netflix on another rom and ex kernel versions 519+. Just loaded weekly LOS and no reboots so far. Am curious have you tried the latest LOS weekly to see if the drm issues your having with yahoo might be solved on the official?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
New custom kernel based on optimizations from Neobuddys Sigma Kernel. Running on both Lineage and Camcory based device trees!

[Nexus 6  General] paulmerrill:
I notice a comment that LineageOS forces encryption. I am running latest 15.1 with no encryption, so that comment must be wrong.

As a test, I'm getting 50MB/sec write and 145MB/sec read and I think in an encrypted N6 phone you get no where near that.
[Nexus 6  General] :
[ [MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] the unholy ROM is not a usable ROM. It was on afh, and now it's Mia. The dev doesn't even have Nexus 6 as a listed device any longer. I had it already downloaded and just tried to flash it and like others said the download size should have gave it away. Doesn't make it past google.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yeah I understand and I did note that in the description. If its not there anymore, I'll give it a couple of days before I remove it from the list. I'm thinking about moving a few roms to an unsupported listing so we can have a more directed list also.

Also, have you or anyone else tried the 6.1.18 Velocity build on AFH? I'm thinking about giving it a go, but I'm not sure who the Dev is...
[Nexus 6  General] Iced T:
I tried the velocity build, booted and ran ok, missing a few things on the customizations. No smartbar,headers etc..not sure if it's the regular developer as the kernel was always labeled even in his Oreo builds- "mvk" in about phone, the kernel is labeled something different now. And I checked the site I believe it's a German site he posts his builds on, there is nothing since April. I ran it for a couple hours and honestly it wasnt bad. I just need smartbar so I'm back on screw'd.
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
Did you flash Magisk for root? That would have disbled force encryption.
[Nexus 6  General] paulmerrill:
Yes I did flash Magisk for root.
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
Did you flash it when flashing Rom, before the initial boot? Magisk sets the kernel to not force encrypt. You must have been encrypted already or booted the Rom and went back and flashed Magisk for root?
[Nexus 6  General] paulmerrill:
What I did was used a USB key with a standard USB connector and a micro USB connector. Downloaded the rom, gapps and Magisk, formatted data to remove encryption flashed all three and then rebooted. Voila, no more encrypted phone. Much more responsive.

[MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] ElementalX 5.19+ from the description of the AOSIP June release means it's working with ElementalX 5.21 as well?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
That's old information. I'm going to flash his latest build tonight. I'll update my findings.

Camcory reached out me and said he would come back to develop for the nexus 6 after using the Honor 10. I explained the development scene currently.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
My apologies...I got my roms mixed up! I will take that out of the post now. Sorry for the trouble...Hope it is as easy as reflashing the beltz kernel back.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
No prob, I always backup 'boot' before flashing new zip :) just restored it. Mixed up, like you're using kernel or something from Nougat Lineage OS?
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
Not that mixed up LOL....Just shuffling 3 Nexus 6 and lack of sleep mixed up. :eek: Again sorry, Thank god for backups!!
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Oh, spare yourself from nexus and access (have) some nap ;)
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
An example why this thread can be interesting.

Several ROMs are 'aosp' based; different features and functions, makes it possible that users have a choice.

And maybe it's a start to more compatibility between kernels.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I'll add this rom to the list! I knew about it from awhile back, I didn't know if development had stopped. Thanks for the info!
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
No problem....Great idea on this thread!
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
LOL....I got a few winks in last night finally. :D
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Everyone, could you please say if Netflix or YouTube TV is working on the custom ROM you are currently running? I'll update the OP with this info.

Also download:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidfung.drminfo

And report what Security level your ROM is at (if supported)

THANK YOU!
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I don't subscribe to either but I was able to get the DRM info...SourceBuilt ROM 8.1

Also no custom kernel support at this time as far as I know.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Thank you [MENTION=2343057]Jeffro64[/MENTION], I added this information to the OP.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
I installed Netflix and signed into my wifes account and can confirm no video. App opens up but can't watch anything.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
That's an issue with Widevine, interesting that it reports an L1 in DRM info. I'll make a note of that. Does it give you an error? Or is it just a black screen with audio?
[Nexus 6  General] Jeffro64:
No error at all....Just black screen with red buffering circle and no audio either. I tried it on my N6 with a factory 7.1.1 N6F27M ROM, franco kernel and root and it worked fine. But on SourceBuilt 8.1 it was not working.

Beltz 2/20/18 build, Magisk 16.0, Netflix working without a problem.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] Validus is L3 security.

No issues at all with Netflix

And Nitrogen has just been updated, so 3/17/18 for it.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes I have stated that Beltz has working Widevine DRM. All of the roms he has posted Nov - present have L1 support.
[Nexus 6  General] :
I use screwd as my daily driver. Aquarius has a lot of potential but it is plagued with lag and signal issues. As of the update a few days ago.Once those are worked out there's a solid ROM. I'm a huge fan of neos RR, nitrogen, and aosip..I tend to try more of the feature ridden builds. The more stock stuff, I find boring and my ADHD makes me change it right after install. Velocity is a cool ROM, like a beefed up stock. Pretty stable.last build didn't have a camera though.didn't like the battery life.. I also found a pretty cool omni Oreo ROM for our shamu.. Its on afh.called omni homemade. The boot animation is funny. ROM is seriously great but has a couple little probs u gotta fix yourself if u know how.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I can confirm Netflix working on N6 unencrypted 'Beltz180314'. Root: Magisk 1600; Ex5.08.

Magisk manager shows that Safetynet is passed.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
I want to test if there is any difference regarding the SOT between the kernels: stock and EX 5.08 with Beltz ROM. Have you done this yourself, did you see any?

Thank you
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Thanks and I'm looking forward for your opinions, cause I want also flash it. Now I'm on Screwd
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Honestly I've just stayed on Beltz 4/5/18. I've tried, Carbon, Crdroid, Lineage, Screwd, Nitrogen and AOSiP (not today's build). I came the closets to almost using CrDroid but a few settings (Battery charge info and slow to wake) have brought me back to Beltz.

Everything just works. Includes many key features I use every day (auto face unlock, p transitions animations, dark notifications, fling gestures) paired with the test kernel by authlele I'm more than satisfied. I really do hope Setiawanjimmy comes back, but life comes before android.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
For a week already I'm using Oneplus Gestures apk which is awesome.

And yes, I really liked Beltz. Not on it only because of the security patches not being updated, but for the rest, a very stable and reliable ROM.

Screwd I'm finding it very good also and full of features.

Since you want to try the latest AOSIP, which Gapps package will you use?
[Nexus 6  General] camcory:
Ive just merged in ElementalX 5.22 and elektroschmock's ion reverts on the build I posted today. Also it's on June's security patch.

I typically use open gapps (stock) with this gapps-config.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
A VERY BIG THANK YOU, man.

Tomorrow I'll flash it (it's almost midnight here aheady :)

What Gapps package do you recommend?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Bloody hell is this thing ever fast. Excellent work [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION]. May I make one suggestion? Could you include the android P animations as an option? Beltz github I believe has the commits.

If anyone is wondering, looks like every single feature from Beltz is now included in AOSiP.
[Nexus 6  General] mingaldrichgan:
I recall there was a previous build of AOSiP that included this option, but it wasn't in the subsequent build. I guess it was reverted for some reason?
