You're definitely not alone. I'm trying to move to Oreo or Pie for a long time but it's always something that's not quite right. I'm talking about two or three minor things that drive you nuts.

For example in Oreo the exponential volume slider and not being able to listen to Whatsapp audio msgs thru the earpiece and in Pie the BT headset doesn't connect when the phone is already ringing. Other than that, no problems whatsoever. Call me strange. :eek:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Right! So do you still stay on Nougat?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duhec:
Yep. But I keep trying ROMs. :)

What is that famous quote about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? :confused:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mahir555:
Me too .. On every pie rom . what is the cause ! Isn't there a fix ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
When I try (admittedly another app and another rom), it's a question of waiting maybe 2 seconds before pressing an icon. I guess the share menu displays before it is actually ready. [MENTION=700493]mahir555[/MENTION]

Edit: I've got a moderate number of apps on my phone (126 according to settings). I would expect the delay to increase with the number of apps installed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MaxPower742:
My camera seems to have stopped working after the latest 15.1 from the 17th, anyone else? No app that tries to use the camera is able to.

Also does everyone still use MindTheGapps or does one of the opengapps work better? It's been common for me for months that when I search for an app in the Play store it crashes. I also get a lot of the popups saying "google framework has stopped".

Also is a clean install required to switch gapps? Searching this question yields mixed impressions
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Camera is still working perfectly here, as well as apps that use it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sharankumar420:
Some little feedback to Dev

I'm not able to connect to Miracast device to share/cast my screen, Build in USSD blocker and wifi shortcut in status bar notification just provide on and off, expecting to choose from list while turning ON.

All too good except these. ROM was too good.

Please assist these in an update, if worthful.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michele72:
Hello,

I installed the last build, 7 Aprill from https://download.lineageos.org/shamu I cannot find a way to access the Privacy Guard tool anymore in any way. Also, I remember that my previously installed build was 31st March but it disappeared from the list. I tried reverting to the 24 February build instead, but the screen is not unlocking.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

At the moment I found this workaround by creating a new "Activity" shortcut from Nova and pointing it to ".Setting$AppOpsSummaryActivity".

I extensively use Privacy Guard to limit specific apps from starting at boot, or keeping the device awake or preventing some apps from running in background. Saves a lot of battery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Wifi Display (aka Miracast) has been removed by Google in Pie.

I don't know what a USSD blocker is, but we don't accept feature requests

Afaik we haven't removed anything. where do you expect the AppOps settings to be located?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sharankumar420:
Issue in mirroring to Miracast TV

[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] : First of all, thanks for looking into my observation.

I have tried other ROMs like Carbon, Pixeldust (pie), and I am able to connect/mirror screen to my Miracast compatible TV in wireless display option seamlessly.

But only in this ROM it gets disconnected immediately after 'Successful connection'.

In other ROM, I use to connect using Option: Settings >> Cast >> Enable Wireless Display and choose the TV in list.

But unluckily my TV doesn't even prompt in the list now and I use to pick it in wifi direct option, where it disconnects after connecting.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michele72:
Hello Elektroschmock

In previous builds it was under Privacy if I remember correctly. There was definitely a "Privacy Guard" link.

Now in Settings even searching for "Privacy Guard", nothing is returned, whereas previously I found it in that way.

However the activity ".Setting$AppOpsSummaryActivity" still definitely opens the tool so I'm fine at the moment.

Best

Thats it! Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lagarde:
[MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION]

Nothing in the logs on these VERY minor items, or I'd post those.

Setup: Latest LOS 15.1, Mindthegapps 3/20, clean install.

- Some nasty lag spikes. Not happening often, but occasionally I'll click through a menu and the phone hangs for about 3-4 seconds. Doesn't look like high CPU or memory use, and there's nothing about it in the logs, so I'm not certain where it's coming from. Going to strip the phone down to barebones with just the app I'm testing and see if it's maybe an issue with one of my apps, rather than LOS.

- When unlocking the phone with music playing, I'm still seeing the 2-4 second delay where the equalizer keeps going, the phone is unlocked, but it won't move past the lock screen. Doesn't happen every time, but maybe 50%. This was definitely a thing on the previous nightly, and it's happening less, but it's still happening.

- DRM/Netlfix issue, which we all already know about. Just putting it on the list in the hope that it'll cut down on a dozen people reporting it. :D

That's all I found. Everything else seems perfect!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] acex1:
Hello,

I am facing a problem with the ring volume, it is too low, even if it is maxed in sound settings. Media volume, alarm volume, notification volume are ok. Anyone else having the same issue?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] lpjunior999:
I had to wipe completely to get on the latest weekly to get around the encryption issue. I paired my phone to my car's Bluetooth, and couldn't pair to my headphones. The phone would freeze and reboot. I couldn't get it to pair until I had it forget my car. Apparently it can have one paired device at a time. Is this an Oreo issue or a LOS one?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Sparks:
Does this ROM get occasional reboots? I use Nitrogen OS and it gets frequent reboots daily which is my only complain.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SoTacMatt:
Honestly, I haven't had one on LOS 15.1. Neither with 0402 or now with 0412.

Question for everyone out there: does Android Auto work for anyone? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mikevb:
I've gotten the random reboots on every Oreo ROM, including LOS 15.1 betas, but not the official LOS 15.1 builds.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] deathpod:
Sadly, no and I'm starting to miss it. :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] manish_bhaumik:
Can anyone please share the best way to keep all the cores online when battery is low on Lineage 15.1? My device is throttling and turning off 2 cores completely at low battery. Kernel Adiutor on its own is unable to keep the cores online. I did search a lot of forums but a lot of the mods seem quite old, and I was not sure if flashing them on this new build/Oreo was the best idea.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] athulele:
https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/LineageOS/android_kernel_moto_shamu/+/212787/

That will be fixed once this is merged. Elektroschmock is testing it with his device as of now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] genti.b:
Except for the DRM/Netflix issue, which I don't use, I cant say that I have those other 2 issues that you mention.

I listen to music all the time, and even use faceunlock, can't say that I have any problems with it, nor any other laginess whatsoever. Maybe this is because I clean flashed the latest version.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Sparks:
Is there a way to automatically uninstall a list of system apps after an update quickly?

I keep having to remove some system apps, but after an update they get installed again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Just disable them in settings and you're done.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Incoming

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Literally just moved from LOS 14.1 to LOS 15.1. Flashed using the update instructions provided, not a clean flash. Haven't noticed any major hiccups in the process or using Project Fi network.

Thanks to [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION], [MENTION=614507]razorloves[/MENTION], and rest of the LOS team.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Axios_:
It's great. Thank you!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
Well it works on my (own compiled) april 4th build.

It did not on my april 8th build

I've stayed on my april 4tb build because another thing doesn't work (won't start) in my newer builds : Galery
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] manish_bhaumik:
Thanks for the update. Great to know.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
I did the same upgrade and the result was excellent, the only problem (besides some system settings that weren't retained) was losing all locally stored contacts. I restored them afterwards and had to select "Device" in the Settings -> Default account for new contacts".
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MartinN6:
what do I have to do to patch the system?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Sorry my fault I thought this was the 16.0 thread, but it is the 15.1 thread. I don't have a miracast enabled device so I can't test.

Same applies here, I can check when I get home, as I don't have any 15.1 device with me. But I would have searched it under the Trust settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michele72:
Bingo!

it is there in fact. Quite buried though.

Settings > Security and Privacy > Trust > Privacy Guard > press on the dots in the upper right > Advanced.

('ll be using my new shortcut... :))
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
I haven't seen this mentioned so I'll go ahead and ask. Has anyone's LiveDisplay stopped working correctly? I guess it has been a few builds now that my phone isn't switching over to night mode thus the color temperature doesn't change when set to automatic. The settings menu turns black, it's only the screen temperature not changing (blue light filter).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Still working fine here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
So your screen still turns a yellow tint at night?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duttyend:
Yes, it does.

You could try to switch automatic time and automatic time zone on & off as I remember having to do this some time ago.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
I tried doing that and it didn't work. Oh well, it's not a big deal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Anyone know of a way to stop throttling down cpu frequency while under 40% battery? On 7.1 it was perfected by blackbird kernel, but I never saw anything about it for Oreo.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
The throtteling is on purpose. If your battery is good enough it doesn't throttle at 40 % battery.

Throtteling saves your phone from crashing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Thanks for the reply. I believe my battery is in good condition, it's brand new from a few months ago, lasts quite a long time no problems with it, but the CPU frequency does drop down to 1926Mhz I believe under 40. I consider that throttling anyway. On blackbird kernel he somehow did it so it stayed at 2649Mhz the entire battery drop.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
There are several reasons for throtteling. One is not enough current delivered by the battery. this can even happen on a new one if its of minor quality.

Onother reason ith thermal limiting.

You can look in your dmesg log why it's beeing limited...watch for keywords like, thermal, BCL
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Also, it's better for the life of your battery if at lower percentages your phone runs at a lower clock levels and in-turn lower voltages.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Thanks I'll check it out. Thanks for all you do on this device and others.

True. I don't really care about life of my battery though. When the phone turns into a laggy mess it's not that fun anymore. Plus on blackbird kernel (on 7.1) the battery life was still quite good, and that was running at 2649Mhz the whole time. Didn't notice much difference compared to now on LOS 15.1 to be honest.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
Then I think your choice is clear. Stay on Blackbird. This kernel has much better code. I use the Lineage 16 kernel in my 8.1 AOSiP builds
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Is that kernel different from the one in Lineage 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
I just updated my N6 to the 15.1-20190429-NIGHTLY-shamu - now none of my apps (Google camera, Cameringo+, Barcode Scanner etc.) can't use the camera anymore.

Can anyone second this? Is this a known bug?

Edit: Sorry for the hassle :rolleyes:

After 2 or 3 new starts everything's working again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinkfloyd3:
Yep it's know bug but because no one sending any log for this i don't think is going to fix soon anyway reboot and wait 5m then open camera should be work

Sorry for my english
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
I see. How could I provide a logfile in a case like this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
In general the more information a user provides the better.

This includes:

- Build number

- logcat / dmesg

- modifications like magisk

- number of installed apps

- when did the error occor

- where you able to "fix" the error if yes how?

- ...

It's really hard for me to debug it, as the error doesn't seem to happen always and not for all users.

I haven't been able to reproduce it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
Yeah, I am absolutely aware of that. My question aimed more in the direction of how to generate a logcat when updating the phone. I mean does logging "survive" the updating process (I guess not since everything is stopped then, right)?

But I have to admit I was too surprised by the phone's behavior - I never experienced anything like this before.

Another question please if I'm allowed to: Do you have any idea on how long you're going to keep LOS15.1 alive?

The reason I ask: My N6 runs pretty well on LOS15.1 (a big Thanks for that!) but lags eventually. I guess it might be caused by the phone's encryption and I'm thinking of getting rid of this. I just don't want to set up everything on LOS15.1 and after a few weeks I have to do it again with LOS16... :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
No logging doesn't survive a reboot which an update involves.

But I guess the error happend during the reboot.

I can't promise how long 15.1 is supported as it depends on Lineage's infrastructure.

We don't have enough resources to do builds for more then 2 versions. This means that 15.1 is dropped when 17.0 builds start.

Other then that I have no intention to drop support for 15.1.

I know it's very vague, but I'll support it as long as I have fun maintaining shamu.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
Right, I see. So I don't feel too stupid... ;)

No, it's not vague, it's more information than I was hoping for - thanks for that!

So judging from the last major updates (14>15>16) I guess 17.0 will be usable something around January 2020 - this should by far be more than enought time for me :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] grdnwsl:
Did 17.0 builds start? I can't find 15.1 on the downloads page anymore. I only see 16.0 builds.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Lol no! Source code for Q isn't even out.

Build servers were in maintenance mode, thats why there is no current 15.1 build. Will be back up in some days
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] alphster:
Can someone mirror a 15.1 build for Shamu? I've been waiting and it's not showing on the website. I have vzw so I can't use pie.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
15.1 is only built once per week. So you need to wait more then 3 days until they show up again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Sorry I'm a bit confused, looking to download the last 15.1 build as well. On the download page for Lineage Shamu, there is no 15.1, doesn't look like there has been since at least May 6th, which is more than one week ago.

https://download.lineageos.org/shamu
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Looking at the 16.0 nightlies you might realize, that there are a lot of builds missing between May 6th and today. That's when we did some server maintenance.

Since we restarted the builds a week hasn't passed. That's why there is no 15.1 build available yet.

We just don't have the money to keep builds around forever.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sugarkryptonite:
Perfect thanks. Understood for sure.:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Hello [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION]

wow, you have made a lot of contributions to the kernel of the nexus (lineage 16.0). At 15.1 they are not included?

I'm interesed, what kind of changes are these. Security backports?

Kind regards

Thanks :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Kernels for 15.1 and 16.0 are the same, but I usually push the changes to the 16.0 branch first.

I moved a lot of code around to place where it is located in newer kernels to make it easier for me to apply security patches.

I also updated some subsystems to higher kernel versions, and applied some bug fixes here and there.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Johnabis:
Hello, is VOLTE working on this Rom as it based on oreo? I know none of the pie roms support volte but wanted to verify this one does.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
Yes it does.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Johnabis:
Thanks for confirming I appreciate it. I read a couple previous posts and if I'm understanding correctly the latest 15.1 build should be posted in a day or so.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
I think it will be released tomorrow as that's when it's normally released.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Bkacjios:
There still hasn't been a new build yet I think, and it's been a few weeks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
There was at least one successfull build in the meantime, but we only keep the last eight builds for space reasons.

Lately the build machine on which the shamu 15.1 builds were scheduled had a problem which lead to failed builds.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Hmm, the most recent 15.1 build I've seen is from May 19, with the May 5 security patch level. I sure hope they get that build machine fixed sometime soon.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Where do you see that build? I want to download it. I have googled to death. Keep seeing 16.0. I don't want pie.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
It was on the download page, briefly, before it got pushed out by all the 16.0 stuff. Hopefully we'll get a new 15.1 build sometime soon
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Ugg Thanks!

Anyone have an archive of that latest build they could post somewhere?

Wow THANK YOU!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
just installed today's 15.1 zip. it looks excellent so far. "android security patch level" now says June 5, 2019
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Excellent ROM donated!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dixon Butz:
I can't send MMS on Sprint with this ROM. I have the right radio and BL.

Never found any Pie ROMS that send SMS either.

All the other Oreo ROMs I treid worked.

Back to Carbon Rom Oreo backup and I can send an SMS very fast.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Hmm, both SMS and MMS work fine for me. But I'm on Verizon.

PS: i get the feeling that both SMS and MMS are kind of junk bandwidth, not even real protocols, more like something various carriers implemented any which way, in order to attract customers. I suspect there are huge differences in the way different carriers implement it.

PPS: on the other hand, it may be some simple setting, buried in the bewildering array of settings. If you just toggle some stupid, switch, in "carrier, settings, blah, blah, blah..." it'll fix your problem :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Sorry for the hassle with the downloads.

I already wrote a ticket that at least one build of each version is kept online.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dixon Butz:
Typo in that post.

SMS, calls, and data work fine. It is just MMS.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
Same here. My phone feels a lot smoother than before.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Netflix doesn't allow the install on rooted devices or devices with custom ROMs. Thats why the list our device as incompatible and hide the app.

Verizon / VoLTE / Nexus 6 / LOS 15.1?

I'm thinking about getting a Nexus 6 XT1103.

Someone said that VoLTE works with Verizon and LOS15.1 on this device. I'm checking here to make sure I am not misinformed.

Does anyone here have that working?

[Currently have LOS/nogapps on an LG RS988. It works great except when I get a call or text which interrupts the LTE data. Hence I'm looking for a new device where I can do phone/sms/data at the same time]

Thanks!

Mark
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
Yes it works but I wouldn't recommend the N6 at this point. LOS15 will be dropped in the near future so it's a dead end road for updates that support VoLTE and WiFi calling.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] markd89:
Thanks, but then, what is the alternative to have VoLTE working?

All I found so far is the OP5 (again LOS 15) for T-Mobile and the N6 for Verizon. If you know of others, please let me know.

Thanks!

Mark
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
In the states you need a phone that uses VoLTE. Verizon is going all VoLTE by the end of year as they are shutting down their CDMA network. The other networks use VoLTE as well in different areas.

Get a newer phone. LOS15 isn't the issue. The issue is that the N6 is too old for the code to be taken any further than LOS 15 so other phones might be able to use VoLTE with LOS 16+.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] markd89:
Thanks. Yes, I know it's better to have a newer phone for that and other reasons too. I asked on the LOS Reddit which is the "official" forum about VoLTE. The OP5 and OP6 have working VoLTE with T-Mobile, N6 was the only response I got for Verizon. I'll poke around some threads here and maybe there is an unofficial build that has VoLTE working on a newer phone.

Thanks again!
