Same with other ROMs for Shamu. Till now every updated Oreo rom has a different kernel. It's trial and error every rom-update. Last Ex version that works with latest Beltz-rom is 5.08.
[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
Have you noticed a difference using the ElementalX kernel on Beltz?. Also, did you know the latest version of Android X uses the 5.07 version of ElementalX ?.

[MENTION=7614939]hameedf[/MENTION] maybe you can share some info and opinions with us.

So now they are 20 of them [MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes, I updated the OP.

In addition I reorganized the OP (For the second time) to be easier to read.

- I added more information and links for AOSP, CAF, Lineage and DRM. See the 'Updates' section for more.

Let me know if you guys find the improvements helpful ?
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
It is VERY USEFUL! Keep up the good job. I'll try to help as much as I can.

[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] I'm afraid the AFH link to BeansGapps is not useful, since it points only to arm64 Gapps.

Which Kernel did you use?
[Nexus 6  General] head_banger:
Ex kernel but flashed the permissive patcher
[Nexus 6  General] hameedf:
Maybe I will test it later or tomorrow, so I didn't flash it yet
[Nexus 6  General] :
Here's screwd I built yesterday.unofficial. I don't use NFC so I didn't include the fix commit for it..sorry..use beans gapps mini. Yes the arm 64 8.x.x ones on afh host..they work great..that just means it includes arm and arm64..

Edit, wrong way helped teach me to build, so this is just like his builds. Mine is just updated with a few more features the devs added to the repo since his last build. He will probably do another build soon.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
I am using the Powersave option of Ex frequently. Some less battery drain compared with the stock kernel.

Don't know about Android X.
[Nexus 6  General] hameedf:
It's didn't boot, where can I find permissive version?
[Nexus 6  General] head_banger:

Thank you

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

As I saw in some ROMs, there is a trend to get rid of the center clock. I suppose it's caused by the notch that will come with almost all the devices and, obviously, with Android P.

So we have to learn to live with it...
[Nexus 6  General] :
https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-atomic-os-t3750695

BTW, I loathe the notch...lol
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yeah same. I am not buying a phone with a notch. Nor am I buying a new phone period, the Nexus 6 is just to good to give up.

Also I've been playing around with EX Kernel settings, think I've come up with some good adjustments to further enhance the smoothness. Let me know if you guys are interested ?

[Nexus 6  General] camcory:
Just a heads up looks like Mike Criggs has stopped Aosip and I was asked to continue. So far so good on the build but I like using EX as my kernel so I reached out to flar2 for permission to package it in the rom so just holding out on that before release.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION]

crDroid just updated to 4.1, stable version (no more beta)
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Nice! I noticed you were merging AOSIP commits in your git! Does this mean going forward your base will support the newest ElementalX? (I know that AndroidX and Beltz only work with ElementalX 5-5.08, every new version after .08 won't boot)

Also, are you planning on supporting your stock AndroidX ROM or only AOSiP going forward?

Thanks for posting! Always appreciate your work and you've definitely helped bring Shamu back to life with your stable base
[Nexus 6  General] jayadev01:
New Beltz released Guys...

https://xdaforums.com/custom-roms/a...rom-builders-collective-t2861778/post76023642

Really Happy to see so much stable oreo roms for our device. Oreo has really been stabilized nicely on our N6. All big thanks to all the great developers here... Awesome work!

Cheers!!
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Thanks for the notice! I'll update the OP. Can you or someone test to see if it will boot with ElementalX 5.12?

Edit: Nevermind, just read his change log.
[Nexus 6  General] jayadev01:
Yeah the Roms itself comes inbuilt with ElementalX 5.12... it's mentioned in the changelog. So it definitely boots and above that... we get an increased battery Life... really feeling very Happy with the way the oreo roms are coming out.

Cheers!!
[Nexus 6  General] dramalicious:
Just broke the N6 display :( touch works, but it.s ugly:( sad!
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
I'll go back to Beltz, since now it's built with 5.12 EX.

[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] we are waiting for the EX settings you are using

Thank you
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Looks like [MENTION=5379942]setiawanjimmy[/MENTION] removed the build as he's awaiting permission from Flar to use ElementalX built in.

I downloaded and flashed the build before it was pulled, it's running great! Built in Dark notifications is awesome! Going to try the newest ElementalX 5.14.

Thanks Devs!
[Nexus 6  General] jayadev01:
Haha mee to... grabbed the build before it was pulled. Lucky to have it... flashed it and is working great as usual. Super stable [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] base and ElementalX is just one of a beast. Hope [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] responds soon and grants his permission...

Cheers!!
[Nexus 6  General] setiawanjimmy:
I have permission from flar2 to use ElementalX built-in but its almost midnight where i am. Im going to re-upload tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I posted about this in the ElementalX thread but have any of you encountered this issue yet?

I am concerned about this too. I just cleaned flashed Beltz (before it was pulled) but didn't come across any warning about being uncertified.

I'm wondering if this isn't being triggered wife scale yet. And or if it has to do with using an older GAAPs package from before March 16th.

Hopefully we'll get official word from Google, because I'm hoping this isn't the end of custom development and being able to run Google Software.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Okay I'll update the OP with my EX settings, underneath the Gapps section. Been testing for 3 days, so I'm pretty comfortable with sharing these and you all having good results
[Nexus 6  General] king:
Has anybody else faced issue with google camera lagging on DU 12 official whereas the aosp camera works fine?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I also noticed Google camera lag on DU 12 3/9/18 Official build when I ran it.

Are you on the Official, Weekly or RC?
[Nexus 6  General] king:
I am on the official one
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Okay, I would try clean flashing to the most recent RC. Give that a try as the official doesn't have the newest code commits. (moepda is known to fix things faster in RC's).
[Nexus 6  General] hameedf:
I also noticed that when I tried the ROM a few days ago
[Nexus 6  General] mulderato:
Hey guys.. its been a while but after giving up in Xposed I just assumed i was stuck but now I see Its finally updated and running on N & O so i can finally update.. Im using a hella-old build.. xTraSmooth MRA58R from Nov 19 20........15 lol. But it has ran flawlessly.. basically a stripped down version of M.... light,nearly stock and solid. With so many of the Roms there are feature after feature... I just want battery efficient and fast with as close to a Pixel experience as possible, and stable. The days of nightly and weekly flashing bare behind me. What roms fit this criteria? I don't need themeing, bloatware or the ability to change my font... Just pure android goodness? :)
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
I would suggest Beltz
[Nexus 6  General] mulderato:
Thanks Gothy,

I was getting that vibe from reading but hes taken it down for now. Plus im still trying to wrap my head around Xposed vs Magisk which seems to be a nono with Beltz from the last few pages in that thread I read.. i have several modules I rely on that has kept me running M for years now.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Beltz 3/14/18 build works fine if you want to jump to that for the time being.

Magisk 16 works fine on Beltz. Not sure about Xposed.

[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION]

You might want to make a change in your AOSIP info. There is a more current build than 3/15, it's from 3/19. In addition, you listed that builds after 3/15 would be [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION]'s builds. However, the build prop suggests the 3/19 build was built by a current AOSIP member [MENTION=5854483]akhilnarang[/MENTION]. Might confuse some people. :D

You've taken on a mighty task with this thread, so props to you. Excellent job!

Would you please suggest gapps package you are using with Beltz? I tried Nitrogen with opengapps nano package and clean install but was struggling with deep sleep. Currently on DU weekly and getting deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
You can use the DU GAPPs linked in my OP. They work great for me on Beltz 3/27/18 release.
[Nexus 6  General] ajaynsurana:
Great, will try that with Beltz. Thanks for your revert.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
Strange. This was a problem on the first RC's released by DU, but in my experience after the first official and then after the first weekly this problem usually went away after restarting the device.

Although in my case this never happened. My usual setup was clean flashing the ROM using their Gapps and latest Magisk.
[Nexus 6  General] king:
I also did a clean flash with rom+unofficial beans gapps+magisk 16.0

[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Maybe it will be, we don't know yet.

[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Thanks for the heads up. I'm surprised he's bringing six back, he was so adamant about not continuing it's development past the new year.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
The internal code name of the ROM is Penguin and you'll see a lot of goodies ;)
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I won't personally be trying the new ROM. We now have a total of 20 known public Oreo ROMs. That's pretty awesome for a phone that came out in late 2014 ?

[Nexus 6  General] hbenz2008:

[Nexus 6  General] Guapo613:
It might just be me because this morning, I was unable to get a good download of Beltz on AFH. I tried Beltz+DU GAPPS+Magisk, stuck at Google screen

Beltz+DU GAPPS, stuck at Google screen

Beltz+Open GAPPS+Magisk, stuck at Google screen

Beltz+Open GAPPS, booted up. I then went to recovery and flashed Magisk, stuck at Google screen.

Went back into recovery and wiped, booted up ?
[Nexus 6  General] hbenz2008:
Beltz + opengapps pico+magisk = booted ok

Is it running March update ?
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Yes, I tried Nephilim and no, it doesn't have March security patches. The other ROM from the same dev, Frankie, it's SIX ROM and it has March security patches and it has been updated yesterday.
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
To make a personal choice is I've read the comments and response in several threads.

I'm running Beltz180327 with a built-in ElementalX kernel 5.14 and pico opengapps and Magisk.

This configuration runs very smooth with a minimum of Google stuff and decrypted data.

Beltz has a dark theme setting for system and now also for notifications.

Dark themes are good for the battery life and my eyes.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Can you post a link to it is it ?
[Nexus 6  General] akhilnarang:
[MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] is the shamu maintainer.

I just build all the devices weekly on the server, so it shows my name.

[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Did you not read my OP at all? I have provided information on all of the ROMs and where to find them..

If you click on "2. Beltz" and scroll down, the change log and link to the ROM is there. Even easier, I made another link to Androidfilehost with the filter used to find Shamu ROMs.

[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Seeing that all the already good ROMs are moving to the most stable base ( [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] ) they will become even better!

And speaking about camcory, anybody tried already his AOSIP?
[Nexus 6  General] HueyT:
Yes. All good for VZW.
[Nexus 6  General] gothy.gothy:
Any changes from the previous version?
[Nexus 6  General] HueyT:
Can't remember as it's been a while since I tried the other AOSiP Oreo rom. It's mainly kernel change if I recall.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Just a heads up. [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] has fixed the soft reboot at first boot and merged some improvements to the interactive governor and GPS in his beta 4 of Lineage 15.1. you can download the ROM and flash just the boot.img if you'd like to try it. ?

I'm running the kernel on Beltz latest release. No issues. if you want to wait I'm sure ElementalX will have these improvements shortly.

Note: it does set the kernel to permissive. If you decide not to stick with this kernel, you will need to flash the stock kernel that comes with Beltz before flashing ElementalX in order to boot.
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Does it have OTA updates? :)
[Nexus 6  General] king:
Beltz does not have OTA updates

But if u are asking about Elementalx kernel, Yes we get updates from its app.

Oh, nothing like that, personally, I just think substratum hinders performance and deleted it.im sure it prob works fine, I just have no point to use it. I like my performance snappy and subs do the opposite to me. I tried it for months then tried without it and the difference was clear. I always used black out everything and changed my nav bar icons.

Just realized that no one has actually made a feature list for screwd. For those who haven't used it, it has everything...next build I will include a feature list and screenshots. thanks to op for putting this thread up. We appreciate it man!
[Nexus 6  General] :
Here is screwd. New build just finished with a new kernel source.. Here's some screenies, just flashed it. sorry for doubles.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C6GDmWmVJKzIwueRV-uteX2_vi4FaP9J/view?usp=drivesdk

Here's the easy way,.screwd has everything but always on. It has ambient display so if u pick it up it shows u time, notifications, etc. there is lock screen weather, mid screen shortcuts, gestures, status bar weather, with scale,temp, and weather icon. Customizable battery icon. Right, left, or center clock. It really is great not just saying cuz I compiled it, and added the various kernels. I loved it so much I learned to build it. New build will be on here soon. Almost forgot, customizable header images too and a permissive kernel. Those screwd devs are amazing.
