Can someone recommend a stable Oreo-based ROM? Lineage seems to crash on Netflix, YouTube and other apps.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
I have a question, not really rom related but more kernel.... Electro recently redid the bt implementation, I think the new implementation is also in elemental x 521+ .....

The newest nameless kernel based on neobuddy I believe has the older BT implementation as does the kernel based off despair....

The question is what do people think, is the newer implementation or older implementation better and why.

Thanks

Where if anywhere are your kernel changes, cant find them under camcory or under aosip? Are they posted yet?

BTW awesome work was wanting to see the code so I could see what you did to make it run so well :D

Aka is it JUST 522 and the one revert commit, did you add in the proximity fix or any of the other stuff since 522 other then the revert... I know, I know lots of questions, but enquiring minds like mine would like to know :D

Guys,

New "My experience" update for AOSiP and other ROMs I briefly tested.

New custom kernel settings version 4 test 30 using Popcorn Kernel 1.1

Refactored OP, (Hitting that max character wall again, freaking XDA..... -_-)

Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Maybe I am just stupid but was trying to implement your latest settings test 30 or #4 or whatever and cannot fit all the settings for target_loads in the space given by ex kernel manager.

Dumb question would it be possible for you to simply post your ex-manager config file with the changes already in it and then give simple directions on where to place said file using a root file manager?
[Nexus 6  General] camcory:
Ok I opened a thread for AOSiP. Oddly when trying to apply it the page hung and refreshed so I hit apply and viola there was 2 threads so one was closed. I will try to check it regularly but I appreciate a group effort with issues. If you can help then please do. Thanks, Cory

I hate replying to posts like this... Flooding the forums with questions that you can answer yourself. Make a backup and shoot.

I've seen this asked somewhere else.... Like senior citizens, needing to be spoon-feed everything.

I have AOSiP 8.1 w/ popcorn kernel.... Last night I played 2 rounds of PUBG just to see if the theory of "all ROMs running 8.1 don't run PUBG smoothly"... No chicken dinner but made it to #11 & #4.

I never had an issue with Beltz w/ elementalx neither as I played PUBG, prior to trying out AOSiP ROM(1wk in).

Hello [MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] . I dunno if it's okay to add another flashing option in OP Section 2.

It's the so called SEMI-DIRTY FLASHING which I learned from [MENTION=8146955]fullofhell[/MENTION] in his Screw'd thread.

This is how it goes:

1. Make full Nandroid backup

2. wipe everything except internal

3. Flash ROM

4. Flash Gapps

5. Flash Magisk (optional)

6. Flash custom kernel (optional)

7. Reboot

8. Skip everything until you reach actual homescreen

9. Turn on advance reboot (if ROM provides it), then Reboot again to recovery

10. Restore DATA ONLY from last backup

11. Reboot

Viola! It's like nothing happened, just updated ROM. You'll have your EXACT setup, apps, and everything from before.

NOTE: Only works if you intend to flash the SAME ROM (or updating the same ROM)

Hope this helps. And sorry if this is already general knowledge for everyone. Maybe it should help other beginners, like me? :confused: :laugh: Cheers! :victory:
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Thanks. Yeah I used that method on 7.1.2 Uberstock. I'll add it to the flashing instructions.

Updated info

[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION]

Thank you for your thread. Can you please update the info for LineageOS?

==> We're not forcing encryption

I have several suggestions on how to make this thread even more informative:

- Add SElinux status: Some ROMs ship permissive. This is a huge security flaw. I think users should be aware of this

- Add links to the sources from which the ROM is compiled. For some ROMs this is very unclear or the sources are private

As example for LineageOS:

ROM: https://github.com/LineageOS

Device: Device

Kernel: Kernel

Vendor: Vendor

- Split Security patch level into two items - Kernel and ROM as some kernels are missing a lot of patches.

[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I was thinking the same thing, I'm running into the character limit once again because XDA has such a legacy back end. Seriously hope they're working on not only a website upgrade but an android app that allows a more advanced editor. End rant.

You're welcome, I hope its helping everyone by having a database for shamu roms. I'd love to start filling in the ? I have for some roms that I haven't tried. No idea how I can get people to post that...maybe a telegram channel? Thoughts?

Also, currently preparing to build my first ROM thanks to Camcory...

I wont run it though cause posts say he does not use smartbar, also last i checked it was completely closed source and since its not a camcory tree base I dont know if popcorn will work either. All things I have really come to appreciate and would miss to much

Also X rom by neo now uses a current popcorn kernel.

Please note I am posting only to help your great effort on this site. Please don't take this as anything other then me trying to help out.

[Nexus 6  General] FReaX908:
I want to thank you for this database of Shamu roms. A few months ago when I first tried Oreo roms I really would have needed such a great thread. I wasn't satisfied with Oreo at that time so I went back to nougat. But lastly I switched to Oreo and your thread gave me a great overview. I would love to help filling in the ? but the n6 is my daily driver. I need mainly a stable rom and at the moment I don't have time to flash roms over and over again. So much to do for university...:rolleyes: Even I don't flash every monthly release like I did on marshmallow or nougat lol.

All I can say is that I was running NitrogenOS for two or three months and it was 100% stable, full of customization and smooth. At the moment I am running latest AOSiP and this one is great too. Some miner differences in customization, 100% stable and smooth. What I really like is that nearly everything is translated into german:cool:

So I hope the N6 will be still alive for a long time cause I don't know a phone for proper replacement! Thank you all!

P.S. I think a "graveyard" for older roms would be nice.

I Flashed the rom from this thread but I still have the nougat logo in bootloader.

Can't find anything on yt. Thanks in advance!

Update: I managed to flash the bootloader, but I flashed it last, after the custom rom, radio and apps

Is this ok?
[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Update bootloader Logo? Maybe you want to update the BOOTANIMATION not BOOTLOADER :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] R4zv4n3:
I had older bootloader with a N logo from Nougat from the last ROM, instead of that android guy laying down. But I managed to update it successfully. I'm kinda new to this custom ROM thing. Changing the bootanimation would be nice, anyone know how? .

I am running aosip with popcorn and that is what I would say about it as well but haven't tried pixel, have you run both and still say pixel is smoother?

Curious ads to opinions :D
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
I've been running Aosip since Camcory took over in April and it was my daily driver. I tried the Pixel build and for me it feels a little smoother and more refined. I had to flash the face unlock zip to get that working and I can't get the dark pull down notification colored text right like on Beltz or Aosip. It was by far the quickest initial boot I have seen, first boot took about 30 seconds.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Another question to any and all not rom specific per say:

Does anyone know how to make a non-verizon branded N6 work with the following:

Wifi calling (maybe change build prop to a different device)

Visual voicemail through the dialer (verizon visual voicemail app works fine)
[Nexus 6  General] webdroidmt:
[MENTION=3777325]wavedashdoc[/MENTION] Just thought I'd fill in some blanks for you on current DU. The most current build is a Release Candidate from June 27 and Mark Rhodes included the [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION] commit for phone info. So for now, we should have at least two roms with this fix. This fix should also be in June 29 weekly build tomorrow. EDIT: Just checked Gerrit and it's been merged.

Test #30 still the best choice for popcorn 1.6?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I've got some more changes in store. I'm running the stock AOSiP kernel currently, I'm getting much better deep sleep so I switched from popcorn.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:
Interesting I originally changed TO popcorn as it slept better, guess its time to check out elemental x (native aosip kernel) again and compare
[Nexus 6  General] nemanja066:
They don't have conspicuous wlan_rx_wake, elementalX (based) kernel as LOS based, but i have lag on camcory's ROMs (tried aosip i nos), usually on scroll (clean install ofc). :)
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
This is my latest and greatest. It also deviates a lot from my normal 'tweak everything approach', I read some very in-depth kernel tweaking thread, I'll link once I have a moment, and it gave me some great insight on what to fine tune. I've basically made it so the phone only uses very specific frequencies in order to stay almost 100% smooth.

You'll see from the screenshot below that it is highly favoring the middle 1400 to 1700 MHz range. It will first jump to 1497 on all cores for about 5 seconds, if no input is detected it will shoot down to 300 MHz. Depending on the input and what is detected load wise it will either stay at 1497 or move between 1497 or 1574, if more is needed it will push to 1958 which for me is ideal as I can run the phone comfortably at 1958 on all 4 cores. Now where the really magic happens is that it will only barely touch 2649 unless absolutely necessary resulting in less stutter as ramping to these higher frequencies and then shooting back down to sub 1000 MHz mainly causes this.

As you have seen before I use to compensate by having the min GPU be 389 or 500. No longer, you can comfortably expected the CPU to now be in line with the GPU scaling. So leave those GPU settings alone now for these settings.

So what does this mean for battery life? Well, if your phone is running more efficiently at mid to upper mid range frequencies then only scaling up or down when needed, the result for me is about an extra hour of SOT. I'm also able to run Google Maps in the car for an hour and see about 15% drop, while using BT.

So keep my memory tweaks from test 30. Turn off and uninstall Lspeed. Keep mpdecision on and see how it is for you with pretty much only touching governor settings.

Again, this is for the stock AOSiP ElementalX 5.22 from [MENTION=4450173]camcory[/MENTION]. I did try to apply this to popcorn 1.6 but it was not as smooth for me and I was also having wake lock issues.

Popcorn kernel introduces the align window option, which isn't necessary for our phone as it is meant for the phones that have big.little cpu architecture. Maybe turning that off will improve things but I haven't messed with it in awhile.

Let me know what you guys think!

Edit: o yeah I'm using noop instead of bfq again. Noop for me seems better for deep sleep.
[Nexus 6  General] adm1jtg:

[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
I'm on AOSiP 6/25 with popcorn 1.6. If ever I want to return to stock kernel, flashing EX 5.22 should be fine, right? And selinux will remain enforcing?

Then you should consider sharing on some more mainstream forum. It was hard for me to find it few years ago and i didn't want to register so there was no way of exchanging experiences, feedback, questions etc.
