Good afternoon / evening / morning everyone.

In order to continue to build our ROM repository database I'm reaching out to You to help me fill in any of the many "?" That have been place holders for the details of each ROM.

I'm looking for each ROMs:

DRM Level:

Custom Kernel support:

And more detailed descriptions of some of the ROMs.

If you'd like to report these things about the different ROMs, I'd appreciate it and we will have a much more complete repository to continue to allow others discover and explore the many great ROM choices for our great device ?
[Nexus 6  General] king:
For Cosmic i am using lineage trees

And the custom kernel support and DRM is same as lineage too
[Nexus 6  General] amynjimmy:
So u are not using any input boost at all now?. But u still have the duration set at 800ms
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I left this 'as is' because a change I made resulted in the phone not deep sleeping. So I felt it best to leave it alone since it has no ill effect.
[Nexus 6  General] amynjimmy:
Ok so 1728 is the boost freq then
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
No, it should look like this.
[Nexus 6  General] amynjimmy:
Ok thanks I'm gonna wipe app data and go thru everything again. Is there anyway u can give me screen shots of the rest of settings. I would appreciate it. I'm such anoob today. Lol

Latest AOSiP

Just thought I'd post on the latest version of AOSiP 20180426 on AFH. This build has the addition of Smart Pixels and Burn in Protection. For all you fans of center clock, that's also been added.

Been running AOSiP steadily since the 0409 build and it's been great for my needs. This latest build is really sweet with the new features mentioned above.

[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
That [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] knows what he is doing ? I ran it for about a day but found a few bugs. ( Long pressing on the smart pixels quick setting icon force closes settings as well as clicking smart pixels under the battery option.) Also it seemed like the ROM wasn't running as smoothly, some stuttering going on while pulling down the notification shade. I'm sure it will get ironed out.

I actually pulled the kernel from this build and flashed it over Beltz 4.5.18 build and I've been getting incredible deep sleep and smoothness. You know it's a great release when there has only been 1 build posted this entire month, with no bugs.

I'm still planning on giving Screwed Unofficial a go, maybe X ROM too, just haven't had a reason to leave Beltz and not flashing anything new all month has been great.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Do you mind sharing that kernel? ?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Just download the 4/26/18 AOSiP ROM from Androidfilehost and copy the boot.img from the zip.

Then flash the img in twrp to the boot, not recovery.
[Nexus 6  General] Unreal_Shogo:
Isn't Elemental X kernel from that build?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes, but it has updated interactive settings, and other slightly tweaked changes.
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
Yep, I can confirm the force closes. Didn't notice them, as I set Smart Pixels in the Owl's Nest settings. As for the stuttering, I'm not seeing that at all in QS. I don't know if the launcher is any factor but I'm using Lawnchair. As you mentioned, I'm also sure the force close bugs will be squashed.

Oh, and you can't go wrong with X or Beltz. I was running the original Android X and then Beltz right up until the time I started with the 0409 AOSiP build. ;)

[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
I suppose you understood the explanations were not for me, but I assumed they could be useful for the user you explained to.

In these 5 years since I joined XDA, I've got a lot of experience in flashing, tweaking, etc.

I just thought clearer explanations are better for the users that are not so experienced.

Anyway, forget my post :)
[Nexus 6  General] camcory:
Yeah that build was for the guy on G+ to test out the wifi hotspot thing. I forgot I had pulled in some of the open gerrit topics to test, so those features arent ready for prime time yet.
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
AICP has a new build which has been rock solid. Everything works, great performance, and not a single reboot. Beltz gets lots of Love here but I always had deep sleep issues and random reboots running it.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Have you tried running the 4/5/18 build of Beltz? I've never had a single reboot on Beltz, so I wonder if you're setup had something to do with it.

Also, I always use DU Gapps, those have been the most consistent for me when flashing any rom here.
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
Yes I have used the latest build with a combination of Gapps including DU's. I love the Beltz build but did have a couple of soft reboots, bluetooth disconnects in my car, and some deep sleep issues, might be something with my setup/app. Been running the LOS build and it just seems to be a bit more stable in regards to restarts, deep sleep, BT. Looking forward to the next release from Beltz and ABC if he continues releasing them. For now the 4/25 ACIP build is nearly perfect for me, though you might update the OP.
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
From checking gerrit, I knew that center clock was merged and saw that Smart Pixels was still an open commit. So, when I flashed the 0426 build I was pleasantly surprised. Bazinga! :D Thanks!

Mike T

[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] I think I'm seeing what you meant by stuttering on the 0426 build. I just noticed micro stuttering while scrolling through my library on Play Store. I turned off Smart Pixels and it went back to smoothness. I guess as camcory said, not yet ready for prime time.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Smart pixels and whatever place u want the clock to go has been working fine with screwd(unofficial..) for a month or more...new build will be up soon..
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
Thanks man, I'm aware of your builds and I've always liked screw'd for my devices. But I'm not rooted, I'm anal and I prefer selinux enforced. :p

Mike T
[Nexus 6  General] :
Oh no prob I completely understand, I had been that way for some time and finally gave up the enforcing kernel.. it hurt my audio mods and that bummed me out.:silly:
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
Hey, I get it. The audio is important to you, so you had to make that choice. Over the years, I've grown tired of messing around with build props and other hacks, so I decided to keep it simple. I find a rom that suits my needs and stick with it...I guess besides being anal, I've gotten lazy. LOL

I do thank you for your devotion in building screw'd and your overall helpfulness in the forums. Btw, I'm a big fan of Omniswitch, have you figured out a way of getting it to work with screw'd? I've been flashing a zip by [MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION] on my builds of other roms and it works just fine.

Mike T
[Nexus 6  General] :
I just figured out how to keep enforcing and use audio mods. Try my new build. See attached.thanks for the kind words. No luck with Omni switch..sorry.

I've told you twice now. No links to the download of these ROMs, unless it's your own ROM.

I appreciate the heads-up, but please stick to my OP rules.

As long posters stay within the XDA rules there's nothing wrong. Maybe you should stick to the xda-rules.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Cosmic OS 4/30 is up
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Look,

I assume those of you ( that are not developers) whom have shared ROM links merely to help users find the ROMs they looking for, and not to just get 'likes'. This is all well and good, but did the dev of the ROM your linking to approve sharing their work? Did you ask permission?

I'm not sure if you guys were around for the 2017 and earlier drama, but a developer and a bunch of users caused a lot of drama that started a mass exodus of talent leaving XDA. Which without saying, was another goal of mine by starting this thread, to unify the community where the developers and their works we're made known and in addition getting permission to share the downloads to their ROMs.

I want to bring great talent back to XDA and give these developers whom share their work for free, credit where credit is due. ( Which is why some ROMs don't have direct download links.)

Please respect what I have put together and my 2 rules posted in the OP. As I stated before, just pm me the link to the ROM if you see the need to and I'll update the OP as I have been doing.

Edit: clarified post.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
NLBeev doesn't share links for getting "likes" and I assume you are not insinuating that I'm posting in order to get "likes".

Cool! Thanks :laugh:
[Nexus 6  General] C.Hatfield:
I believe the Smart Pixels feature as well as Anti burn-in feature have been added into the more recent AOSIP builds ... However, I have been trying so many ROMS (the more fully featured builds bc of my OCD/ADHD ... I really loved X but it (& others casop, aoscp, etc) are quite simply too plain and boring for my mind & for my preferred experience after all these years) .... AOSIP with Camcory's base & N2O OS take the cake for me as far as Oreo builds are concerned (with Neo's RR ROM solidly up in there as well)

Sooo, being an audiophile and not wanting to use Magisk bc of my past experiences (nearer to it's beginning, def pre-10 - I have since returned to the Mag fold with v15 & later and it's much improved).... I have been getting very frustrated with Oreo so much so that I went back to SIX ROM 6.0 N (12/31) and now, Neo's January final Nougat RR 5.8.5 build and I'm SO MUCH HAPPIER, I can install ~working~ AINUR SAURON, BANG & OLUFSEN ICE, ARKAMYS, DOLBY, JamesDSP Magisk audio mods that I prefer without having to deal with trying to figure out what's causing the damned bootloops and ALL the other many little frustrations that were quickly driving me insane. Nougat boots soooo faasssst, I can install most any other mod or variation I choose and it ALWAYS boots (well, better than 95%) ....

Not to mention, I LOVE R3V3NT3CHS kernel (couldn't get the very similar Unicorn Blood Kernel working on Oreo to save my life despite the device trees being the same - however my kernel knowledge is the most limited of the Android skills I've learned in all these years - can anyone offer me some guidance or assistance with that ? It'd be very much appreciated) ..... plus running Nougat gives me Franco and Elemental-X (and Sigma, other) kernel choices on top of that !

Thanks OP for stepping up and breathing life into our favorite Orca with this verrrry current thread and your Elemental-X settings. I got to the N6 right between the stagnant 7.12 / 8.0 / 8.1 phase last fall. In comparison, things are really moving along nicely !!!!
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
N6 unencrypted. Beltz180220 with Pico Opengapps. Magisk 1600, ElementalX 5.08.

Daily use, stable. No Google assistant.

After installing Substratum +themes forced close of some Google apps. Solved by uninstall and restore with Titanium Backup or from the play store.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
So my experience:

Beltz 02/08/18

DU GAPPs (which includes the fix for autoface unlock)

Magisk 16

Magisk module Google Product Sans 2.1R

Stock kernel (use to run elemental but stock is giving me great standby and SOT)

I've been using Beltz since since the first release found on the ABC forum for months now. Beltz offers slightly more options over the more stock experience of Android X.

Beltz includes:

- An optional Dark System theme. ( Previous to the 02/20/18 build included a black AMOLED theme)

- Expanded power menu ( reboot to recovery and boot loader)

- Charging information on the lockscreen

- Navbar tweaks including the option to use the DU Nav.

- Clock options (Left, center, middle) ( AM/PM , seconds, month and date)

- Volume rocker based on orientation

- (more can be found in his changelog within the ABC thread)

Also, for me, Beltz and Android X are extremely responsive and smooth. (One of the main reasons I can't find myself using another rom)

Battery life has also been excellent, even with horrible signal reception I get around 4-5 hours of SOT. ( This probably has to do with the excellent MSM sleep hotplug.

Because of this stability and performance and don't see a need to upgrade to a new phone, any time soon. (I also replaced the battery back in August)

Update: Beltz March 2018 update was released. Dirty Flashed over old build. No issues.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Beltz 2/20/18 build

Pico Gapps package that I found last year 12/17/17

Magisk

No other modifications, Stock kernel, stock everything.

I recently started using Greenify but have not noticed a significant difference. ( It's hard to monitor these things when you use your phone through out the day)

One thing I noticed though for me is that I use the "My Verizon" app and if I disable or uninstall the app, battery life seems to improve.
[Nexus 6  General] mnsiw:
Tried almost all the Oreo 8.1 ROMs, for last few days on Resurrection Remix by Neo, pretty solid, everything I use / need working perfect

Sourcebuilt Oreo ROM 8.1 for Nexus 6 by chineel

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/sourcebuilt-oreo-rom-nexus-6-t3695919

Based on Lineage

TWRP 3.2.1-0

opengapps-mini - Or your choice

unencrypted - If encrypted now you will need to backup and format data to be unencrypted

magisk 16 for root with safetynet pass

Been running this for a week now and have found nothing not working as it should. Not claiming to have tested everything yet, but all the basics are working fine. I came from a rooted stock factory ROM so I had to format userdata to go unencrypted. He has updated recently a few days ago but this one I'm on is running so good and I've been busy so I haven't updated it as of yet. Worth giving a try IMHO.

Edit: There was one report of NFC not working on the latest build (03/09/18) but it was a dirty flash so could be the problem. Mine works on the build before that one so can't say.

How's Neo's RR holding up now? I've run it on Nougat and have had a good experience so far, except that now the phone is now slow and bogged down, though I tend to feel that it happens inevitably every several months, regardless of ROM.

How would you say RR compares to what seem to be the more popular suggestions like Nitrogen or Beltz?
