[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] b8842dc0:
Does anybody know if there is a way I can see what Android Security Patch Level is included in a lineage zip? I usually don't update my shamu but once a month. And I would like to time that update with the Lineage zip that includes the newly incorporated monthly security patch level update. That usually means the second Lineage update of the month, but that doesn't always correspond. I'm thinking that there must be some way to determine this on-line, somewhere?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
You can't see that in the zip file. If you look at the changelog, it's usually in there.

For example: Update Platform Security String to 2018-08-05 for August
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Once the zip is installed, it's under Settings / System / About phone. The 20181002 zip has the September 5 security patches. And electroschmock usually says something about it here when the new security patches come out and he gets them included
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReedN:
In the last few weeks everyone I call tells me I have a bad echo on the phone. I don't experience it on my end, but this is recent, I didn't get this complaint before a few weeks ago.

Any ideas on what might be causing it or how it can be solved?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
I have neither of those. In fact, since the last 2 nightlies, the phone is much faster than before with the LOS kernel.

My settings: in battery management, set the performance profile to fast. With a kernel manager, disable mpdecision.

Battery life is still OK with the original 4 year old battery, SOT usually a little over 4 hours.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
I agree with that. With 2nd October Nightlies, the phone is a lot faster even in efficiency mode. I have 3-half to 4 hours of SOT. Not rooted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
Was not saying you were lying, just saying not working for everyone (including me :crying: )

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Actually there is no proper way to see it. The patch level itself does only say up to which level the platform has been updated. It doesn't say anything about the patches going into kernel, device or vendor.

Also there is no rule when I merge the monthly updates, as they are not always easy to merge.

Usually the latest build should be the greatest. :)

If you have limited bandwidth or data volume the 2nd build per month shoulnd't be that bad.

If there are security issues with high severity like blueborn, krack, etc. I'll usually let users know when it is patched.

But personally I wouldn't care too much about every single patch, as there are not many security flaws which alone could be exploited. We're just updating regularly to make the attack chain longer. :)

May I ask why you disable mpdecision? The reason why I ask is, I am thinking about a valid use case for the 'performance' profile. Right now hotplugging is disabled in performance profile, but it's also locking the minimal frequency at 1,5 GHz.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] everdium:
The phone is much more responsive when hotplugging is turned off. I guess it takes some time to get all cores online when its idling at 300 MHz on one core.

I do not see any noticeable difference in battery life with mpdecision on or off.

Disabling hotplugging would be a good idea for the performance profile. But setting the minimal frequency to 1,5 GHz, I think that the main effect would be to increase power consumption when the phone is idle. Maybe it is a better idea to set hispeed_freq to max and lower go_hispeed_load. I tried that, works well and not much difference in battery life.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReedN:
I called myself to experience the problem first hand, since it only manifests for the person on the other phone from a Nexus 6. The issue is that you hear an exact echo of what you say, but at a quieter volume. It's extremely annoying/distracting.

Doing some searching, it looks like this was an issue that was fixed by Google about a year ago.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/5z7yjb/nexus_6_speaker_echo/deye3m5/

Is it possible we lost that fix at some point or some other changes caused it to be an issue again?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
My apologies. I did actually think that you were saying it wasn't working for anyone. Must have read your post wrong. Sorry about that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
The earlier issue that you mention was when using the speakerphone - I believe it was because the bottom loudspeaker was active and right next to the mike.

On some other roms, I've seen reports of echo when using messenger apps for calling, but not with old-fashioned calls.

So just to clarify: your problem is with regular calls without speakerphone or headset? Do you use the phone app from LOS or the one from gapps? Do you use Xposed, any special Magisk modules or other mods?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReedN:
No Xposed, no Magisk, no other mods of that type.

I believe it is the feedback between speaker and mic. It is non-existant with a headset, moderate with normal phone and very bad with speakerphone.

I've tried it with both normal phone and Google Hangouts. It seems a little worse with Hangouts but I have experienced the echo with both.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
My N6 is losing @ 1% of bettery an hour sitting idle; way more than it used to @ 0.4% few nightlies back. As usual no magisk, no tweaking etc. pure LOS.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Changes have been done to the cpu management so you should test the 4 different performance profiles (in battery parameters) an choose the one that best fit your needs
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Hi guys, is the option "turn on wifi automatically" working for you? Mine stopped working a few weeks ago, even if I have the option enabled in wifi settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Not exactly sure what you mean by "working", but mine seems to do the trick. If I go out of wifi range, it switches to using cellular data, and as soon as I come back into range of a wifi access point that my phone knows, wifi switches back on
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Let me explain better: here's the option I was talking about. If wifi is switched off, it should switch on automatically when I get close to a trusted network (home wifi, for example)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
Yes it works but wifi search must be enabled in location settings
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Wifi scanning? I do have it enabled. I'm starting to think it might be gapps related, I use opengapps nano.

Btw, thank you guys for your answers :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dhalsim43:
That's it. Face unlock also don't work with smallest gaps. But i think the smallest is pico, nano should work but you can try mini
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] teamoushy:
I am running this rom for nearly a month now with no issue, this is the best 8.1 rom i flushed on my shamu, thank you for the great work, any news about pie?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tigernero:
with the latest version of Los October 2 if I enable the 4-digit unlocking pin or the unlock sequence it results with a transparent background and you can not always see the numbers on a black background.

Can a white background be restored when the unlock pin insertion box appears?

Anyone else lose LiveDisplay? Doesn't activate at sunset anymore...

Ok, kicked in about an hour "late". Hmm.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
downloading the 20181009 zip ... woohoo! i'll let you know how it goes, once it's gone :)

rebooted and looks like it's gone pretty well!

Settings / System / About phone / Android security patch level says "October 5, 2018" (although, as Electroschmock says, "the patch level itself does only say up to which level the platform has been updated. It doesn't say anything about the patches going into kernel, device or vendor")
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Darkwing_Duck:
Watched tonight, definitely after sunset.

Also before 1-1/2 hours.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
In this case the only two kernel side cve patches went in. :D

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
A daylight savings related issue, perhaps?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
I sometimes get this bug , where ambient clock does not show up after picking up the phone. Also with this phone proximity sensor during call does not function correctly.

After a reboot it always gets fixed. I'm on stock open gapps with magisk.

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
Yes. And I also have problem with Style - Automatic [time of the day] working in reverse.

No. It is OK with a clean reflash.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
Hi all,

If I remove magisk and lock the bootloader, will it erase my data? I want to use google pay, but it is detecting magisk 16.7 and I am unable to get 17.2 working on my Shamu.

Also if I lock the bootloader will it create problems when moving to lineageos 16?

Are there any easy steps available to lock the bootloader?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Magisk shouldn't be needed at all for Google Pay to work.

I can't comment on possible problems with LineageOS 16 as there is no LineageOS 16.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Yes, ist will erase your data. I've tried.

No, there shouldn't be any problems.

Boot to bootloader, and type in ADB terminal "fastboot OEM lock" <-- exactly the opposite of unlocking

BTW. Use the magisk hide feature, then Google Play should work.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

@Elektroschmock

I read the changelogs a lot. Unfortunately I don't always understand everything you do. I have a question about the changes to the next version, or in general.

Are you trying to make the Nexus 6 Treble compatible? Some entries like "move to vendor".

Or, the entries for EXT4 and "net.wireless", security update?

What does "switch to power hal 1.1" do?

Thank you and many regards
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Going full Treble is something we probably can never achieve as a separate vendor partition is needed.

The ext4 changes are security updates.

The wireless changes try to fix some instabilities I was seeing.

Switching to powerhal 1.1 does nothing on 15.1, but Powerhal 1.0 will be dropped on 16.0. As we can't use the common QCOM powerhal I am doing the switch now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razorloves:
lol. what on earth are you thinking?

Of course we knew. We're well aware of what's going on with shamu builds and what happens on our build server. :good:

Woot! Downloading now ....

Backing up the 20180402 install ....

Installing 20180412 and rebooting ....

And, it's back up and looking quite lovely!

Thanks, all!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Both is fixed for me with the latest build.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:
Installed LOS first time and I should say it's very smooth
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sw2rT1:
new build (20180412) is very fast & smooooooth after slow 20180402.

thank u guys!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Hirnlego:
Couldn't decrypt, probably caused by formatting "data", instead of wiping.

Reinstalled google factory image then followed LOS install guide.

Decrypting works now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] _Axios_:
Everything works well. But the bug with silent sound when recording video is not fixed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MartinN6:
It´s realy time for a test ... recommended GApps are still "Mind the Gapps" ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:
I used that, all is well :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iluvatrix:
So do you mean by following the official installation guide to Advanced Wipe, Cache, system & Data partitions will decrypt from stock encrypted?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Only "format data" can decrypt an already encrypted data partition.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xtsuname:
So, does anyone know how to disable the encryption? Because I tried wiping and everything, and it gets re-encrypted everytime...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iluvatrix:
i thought so too.

can some kind soul help me understand Post #168
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
I installed Magisk before the first boot which prevented the encryption.

[MENTION=4808470]iluvatrix[/MENTION] Maybe #168 messed something up?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Hirnlego:
No.

The issue I had and believe some others have too, was TWRP couldn't decrypt even after entering right pin code.

After the steps I mentioned TWRP can decrypt again. Maybe should have said "read encrypted partition" instead of decrypt.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpectedCrayon:
Flashed the 4/12 build - super smooth, thanks for fixing it!

Question updating and magisk - I've always updated through TWRP because on 14.1 I really a custom kernel. Now that I'm running stock, could I just update through the OTA process and keep magisk? Or do I still need to do it through TWRP?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ipunkdroid:
I got uncertified device on play store. Is this just me?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mugendon:
Yes, you can just update through the OTA process (which will also reboot into TWRP to apply the update and thus save Magisk).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
Thanks,

I just wanted to know if any issues were reported when moving from 14.1 to 15.1 with locked bootloader, and if similar may happen when 16 comes

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
To be honest i think this device is starting to show its old age. Even today's mid-range phones are fast. Also soon 32bit support will end .

But still i love this phone and the development community. The screen is awesome. If speed is not and that's ok for this device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NewDayRising:
It's still listed as faster than 80% of smartphones on Kimovil, which may be arbitrary. And I have wireless charging without spending a major chunk of cash for a flagship, or last year's flagship. Granted, I'm biased, but I think there's a lot to recommend it – if not for people looking for a new phone, then enthusiasts.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
I've seen reports of hard-bricked devices, which I believe was caused by a relocked bootloader. My understanding is that if you somehow damage the rom that you have installed, you have no way to fix it when the bootloader is locked, and no way to unlock it, because you would have to enable unlocking in developer settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Hammerfest:
I myself am going to stick with the Nexus 6 due to the following factors:

WIDER not TALLER (annoys me to no end having owned the S8+ and used the Note 9 in store)

Front facing speakers

Wireless Charging

Elektroschmock support :D

That said, I am looking at the Razer phone 2, I lose .18" from the width but finding wireless charging and front facing speakers is hard (not to mention I totally approve of the SQUARE shape...)

Side note, is anyone here building ACTUAL NIGHTLY's to test? this "nightly, but really weekly" tagging is getting on my nerves and my attempts to get into Linux to make a build box... well, might as well lube a cactus as unable to learn as I seem to be for this
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wavedashdoc:
I'm also interested in the Razer 2 Phone, but since the N6 is so good right now I don't see a reason to jump ship until either a confirmed ROM community is established (since it has to support Treble) or a price drop.

Also interested in hearing those early impressions. For now the Nexus 6 remains King and stays in my pocket.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] IMAGI0:
Thanks for the best oreo ROM for shamu...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
In the Nexus 5 and 7 forum there are instructions and zip files to enlarge the system partition. A vendor partition is also created. The whole thing is not very complicated. I have already tried it.

How big should the vendor partition be? Maybe a renaming of the cache partition is enough.

But I don't see a big benefit? Maybe the updates go faster. I have no idea.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] IMAGI0:
Is it worth trying the popcorn kernel ?? Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Questions like that are better asked in the q&a forum. This is a development forum, and now we clutter it with two posts that don't advance the development in any way.

But to answer: popcorn is based on the LOS kernel, but adds extra things you can tweak. So if tweaking kernel settings is your idea of fun, then you'll find that kernel more fun. Popcorn also has somewhat different defaults, probably more performance and less battery than the LOS defaults (unless you change the LOS power profile).

Magisk 17.x is not working on my phone, not sure why. Phone would not boot at all once I install it. and on 16.x Hide is not working, root is always detected.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Magisk 17.0 was known to cause problems, have you tried 17.1 or 17.2?

Or try Lineage SU with the iSu hide app.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] nilesh0205:
I tried all 3 versions thats why wrote 17.x. Will try lineage su. Thanks :good:

Help!!

!!HELP!!

I had flashed lineage os using twrp, faced lots of lags t

So tried moving back to Pure nexus.

Placed purenexus and gapps in internal storage

Booted back to twrp and wiped system and cache

While installing purenexus it shows error 255

My device is not being recognised in adb device list (all drivers properly installed)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
You can't switch ROMs without wiping data

So guys, why was one-handed mode dropped for LOS 15.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dlbarron:
Is anyone else having a problem with the camera app? When I start it I get a black screen for a second then it goes away. I just cleared cache and data and tried again and I'm getting the same thing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
If you mean it starts with a black screen for a second or two and then works normally, then yes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dlbarron:
No, I mean I get a black screen for a second or two then goes away. No camera app. It disappears, takes me back to the app drawer.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
Mine works OK - version 4.2.035. Maybe look for an alternative version to the one you have?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] duhec:
I had those problems yesterday when I clean installed LOS 15.1 after some months of LOS 14.1. I had to Clear data for the Camera and then restart the phone. After that it works like a charm.

That and also why when I press the home button it doesn't take me back to the first screen. Was this also dropped?

And another thing: when I receive a message (sms) and if I click on it from the notification bar, it takes me to the thread of that person and the message should now be marked as read, but when I press the back button and go to the list of threads of other's people messages, it shows like it is unread. :eek: Strangely nobody is bothered by this?

Otherwise I have to say the ROM is ok, it works great, maybe not as fast as LOS 14.1 but fast enough. The battery is also great and everything is nice and beautiful. Keep up the good work. :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] digitalcircuit:
Single Hand Mode

From what I understand, it's not deliberately dropped, it's just that nobody has put in the work to port it from Android 7.1 to Android 8.1. It originally came from Huawei and LineageOS adopted that code.

See this /r/LineageOS post, too: Where did the one handed mode go?

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tigernero:
in the last 2 releases when an unlock pin is set or any unlock code happens when the display is turned off and its activation does not exit page to insert it.

It therefore remains a facade that seems blocked and you are forced to drop the pull-down menu and click on some icon to make it appear.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] L.F.B.:
Is substratum suported?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
This latest update gives very good battery . But i don't know what happens to performance, if i quickly open apps or switch between apps for multitasking it gets slow and unresponsive. I've set to quick profile and i am on stock open gaps with magisk.

Quick update: I tried stock gapps, "Turn on wifi automatically" didn't work either and I got much higher battery drain, so I decided to give up, wiped system and went back to nano gapps.

After flashing 1016 build with 1017 nano gapps, "Turn on wifi automatically" suddenly works again, so all is good now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iluvatrix:
How would you test turn on wifi automatically work or not?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] veesix:
Well... keep wifi off while you get close to a trusted network (like your home wifi), it should switch on by itself.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Goram:
Hi,

I´m on lineage-15.1-20181009, I use tasker to lengthen my auto lock time, but want to use a screensaver at work to get fast access to my music player.

It seems that the screensaver locks the screen in the background based on screen sleep time and not auto lock time.

Happens even when I change the screensaver app, I set the screensaver via system settings

That seems to be wrong, right?

What I expect:

set auto lock time to 4 hours, screen sleep to 1 min, after 1 min the screensaver starts and after 4 hours the lock takes place

What happens:

set auto lock time to 4 hours, screen sleep to 1 min, after 1 min the screensaver starts and after 1 min the lock takes place

What happens without screensaver:

set auto lock time to 4 hours, screen sleep to 1 min, after 1 min screen goes into sleep and after 4 hours the lock takes place
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Just for fun, you might try turning off tasker and see if that has any effect. It seems like you've done a good job of narrowing it down. That's the only other possibility I can think of
