Dont i have when coming new to LOS?

Maybe that schould be exolained.

And this one was not against you, i know that this is a hobby for you, sorry if it came off like that...

it was just my frustration over this being an official build, usually im not on xda at all and i wanted to write from the normal user sphere outside xda.

And on the LOS homepage that was not possible :)

I waited long time for LOS Oreo, so thx for ur work.

Its just that i think most LOS users dont even know xda exists and have lesser technical knowledge then me. :confused:

And i didnt make any backups with twrp, so why cleaning data didnt work and i had to format..still no clue.

So the new build for nexus 6 should come out today between April 10th or tomorrow?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] umpireflux:
There doesn't appear to be a new build either here https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/shamu/ nor is it scheduled to be built here https://www.lineageoslog.com/build
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] tigernero:
so having not had it yesterday we have to wait another 7 days?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] umpireflux:
That appears to be the case, unless someone more knowledgeable chimes in. But I, for one, am happy to wait seeing as this is an open source project with limited resources providing this for free.

Normally, I agree it's a battery issue (I have battery issues under a certain % and have for a year+), but this update I'm getting a few reboots randomly WAY above that %. The one last night was when the phone was at 100% battery. Trying to catch it in the act and get a logcat submitted. If anyone else is having the reboots, esp when at high battery, please grab a logcat. Over the weekend, I rolled back to previous version and had no issues with reboots. Latest reinstalled and getting them every so often.

dropped calls with putting on hold

PLEASE HELP!!!

when I am on the phone with someone and another caller calls me if I choose to put the caller on hold it drops both calls.

I have verizon and did update the radio to the one post in the 1st page. Everything else is working fine. Also I flashed the google package on first page. using stock dialer please help me

Shamu getting FC when battery reaches 45% -10 %

I think I was the first person to notice this stuff, then I though may be it's with me only, no one responded, but the truth is that the twrp latest version and shamu's nightly update around last week of June or first of July was the culprit, my hot damn sexy shamu getting FC, thought electroscmhok is on a break, its a request to him that please look into this case, it's quite serious, FC in shamu... Please resolve it....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Make sure the dialer is set to be the default in settings -> apps -> default -> phone

Just curious, is there any improvement if you delete the bootloader log? Reboot to bootloader, use the volume buttons to scroll through to "bootloader logs" then long press the power button until the phone reboots. It takes maybe 7 seconds.

This issue has existed for a while. A few of us have sent in bug reports and logs. The consensus from Lineage has been that the google dialer is the problem.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lagarde:
While we're discussing random Google Phone issues, anyone else having issues turning on "Filter spam calls"? On mine it toggles right back off. Not sure if that's a Project Fi issue, a Google Phone app issue, a LOS issue, gremlins...

For anyone not currently using it, I'm using latest app version (22.0.0204206752), 3-dots menu, settings, caller ID & spam, turn on both options. Top option works fine, but bottom one will not enable.

Center clock is back!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpectedCrayon:
Just flashed today's update - running smoothly.

Noticed something interesting - the battery percentage when in TWRP is vastly different than what my phone is showing when powered fully on. Before the OTA rebooted, phone showed 84%. In TWRP, it showed 64%. I'm wondering if this battery discrepancy is what's causing my phone to shutdown prematurely. Any idea how I can get the battery readouts to match?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Likewise: today's update running nicely. And yay for center clock!

Center clock before circle battery? :)

Couple of things I noticed Jul 31st build: Notifications louder? and home button no longer returns to home screen?. Hope to keep my Nexus 6 going a lot longer - thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] brandonb0013:
Firstly, I'm running the June 11th build. Is it okay to dirty flash to the latest build from the 6/11 build? I have never dirty flashed and I couldn't find specific info for this ROM specifically, though I assume it's the same for most. Do I just make a backup and then flash the updated ROM via twrp? Do I need to do gapps or root or kernal again? Just looking for clarification please. Thanks everyone!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
The home button works fine for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] OldUncle:
+1

No problems detected... Yet
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
It should be fine to do so.

You don't need to reflash gapps because it has a script in

/system/addon.d/

which allows it to survive dirty flashes. If you are rooted with either Magisk or LOS' own su you can skip reflashing root for the same reason (addon.d script). Most custom kernels generally don't come with an addon.d script so you probably would need to reflash a kernel.

Backups are hardly ever a bad idea. :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] brandonb0013:
Awesome that's what I wanted to hear. Thank you very much for the info. Is there an update that automatically puts you on the latest nightly? I feel I've read comments about it but, again, never saw it in the beginning of the thread. I apologise if it is there.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:

Oh I knew about that, but thought there was a program to do the update for you automatically. Thanks for the info. Gonna give it a shot

Yes, that's the program that does it for you automatically (LineageOS updater). :)

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Rajsingh333:
Should I go for installing custom ROM?

I have 4 year olf Nexus 6 which still runs stock android stuck on Naugat.

It has started lagging a lot. Also its battery used to give reduced backup. So I used to use it in all time power saving mode. Also used to kill any unnecessary processes that were running from Settings > Developer Options > Running services. This way I was able to squeeze out 1 day out of that poor old battery.

A day ago, I changed the battery and it seems that I will be able to squeeze out 1.5 days out of it in always in power saver mode. However the phones still lags sometimes. Its not definitely buttery smooth like newer one.

Now I have started to get the feeling that I should try installing custom ROM. (Obviously LineageOS since I love stock android.)

However I am a bit wary as I have never done all this (rooting, modying) earlier. I once tried installing custom ROM on my Karbonn (local Indian phone company) android phone and ended up bricking it.

However looking at this big thread of almost 150 pages, reporting various issues faced by people trying custom ROM, I am thinking whether I should go for it or not. If I use latest lineageOS build (lineage-15.1-20180731-nightly-shamu-signed.zip) and follow instructions given at wiki.lineageos.org/devices/shamu/install , will everything simply work? Or I should avoid it altogether and simply stick with whatever I am getting out of my stock ROM? Point is I dont want to waste time in debugging and testing various issues for weeks and still dont get fully functional Android.

Can someone give some firm opinion to this noob? (I really hate to ask this, being developer... x| )

[MENTION=9339578]Rajsingh333[/MENTION]

I've only heard about two ways to hard brick the nexus 6:

- install a bad rom, then lock the bootloader (you can't unlock the bootloader until that is enabled in the rom)

- use a Google account and forget its password (theft protection)

It's easy to avoid these two pitfalls, so don't worry.

About lag: of course the phone lags when in power saver, but assuming you didn't mean that, the stock rom should become as new with a factory reset. LOS is only slightly faster than stock.

My recommendation is to install LOS because it gets security updates. It is really very stable, but nothing is 100% bug free, so no guarantees.

I looked at the guide you mentioned, and it is well written with no errors that I noticed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Rajsingh333:
That was very great reply... :good:

Well one point. It seems that after replacing battery, my volumn down button is not working... I hope there will be some workaround to boot in recovery... :( May be adb reboot bootloader will work...

Anyway, I am definitely going to give it a try...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Popo001:
About your volumn down button not working, it's maybe because you didn't well reassemble your Nexus when you changed your battery (happened to me). Have you checked that ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpectedCrayon:
This definitely sounds related to the ribbon that connects the volume rocker to the board. Two possible causes could be it wasn't reconnected properly when you reassembled the phone after you replaced the battery, or it was damaged while you were replacing the battery. It might be worth popping the phone back open and checking on the status of that ribbon...

As for workarounds, I have used ADB to reboot to bootloader and reboot to recovery. And once you're running Lineage, long-holding the power button will give you the option to reboot straight to bootloader or recovery (this might be a setting that needs to be enabled).

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Something I noticed - when I have the center clock in the status bar, if I get a lot of notifications, the notification icons will start to overlap with the clock. Is there any way to limit the amount of icons that pop-up so that doesn't happen?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Wasatch_Oz:
This ROM just keeps getting better and better. I'm not sure of which nightly fixed it, but Sprint LTE now works! WOO HOO!!!

I loved the ROM so much, I was willing to use it at 3G speeds. Now that Sprint LTE is working, it just doesn't get any better.

Thanks again for all the efforts on this one!!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Rajsingh333:
Can you try if your Nexus 6 lags when two instances of Microsoft Word are opened?

Hey guys, have you tried running two instances of Microsoft Words (one original and another cloned through ES parallel spaceapp) in split screen mode?

I usually do this, open docs with at least 40 pages in two instances and try using them split screen mode. I dont know if this turns out to be processor heavy work, but my Nexus 6 (stock ROM) lags quite a lot on this. Can you try doing this and tell me if yours also lags? My primary reason to flash lineage OS will be to improve this multitasking performance.

BTW I have recorded the video doing same (but with empty docs) on Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus:

[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_EBqLl2Dmo[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] johnyg07:
My observation is that since last 2 updates the phone is lagging. It's slow compared to earlier speeds. My phone has new battery installed couple of months back.

Anybody else has the same observation?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
My guess is that your Nexus has too little ram for that. Maybe your Tab has 4GB?

Android has a lot of memory settings to tweak, and the roms try to find a good compromise. But different settings may do better in your specific case. I don't particularly expect LOS to do this better than stock, but LOS will have some settings set differently, so maybe?

Perhaps the best solution is to look for a lighter app than word.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Today my battery was down to 50%, and the phone crashed completely. When I rebooted it still said 50%. So I rebooted into TWRP, and it said battery was 14%. When I rebooted from TWRP to normal system, battery said 14%. Battery continued to get lower. At 1%, I activated Strava, which is usually pretty battery intensive. That continued to work just fine for 30 minutes, and then the phone crashed completely, again. I plugged the phone in and booted to TWRP, which then said the battery had 7%

In short, it appears that the battery usage percent is somebody's wild guess. It is interesting that TWRP and the OS's estimates of battery percent is so different.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

....

Hah! Yes! Word is such a resource hog! I avoid running it on ANYTHING, much less a handheld device. And TWO instances? You're lucky your poor little phone didn't meltdown completely :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gettes:
We all clearly spend a lot of time on battery issues. Is your battery old? If it is, then there appears to be an issue with the electronics of the battery not reporting the right battery level. I had similar issues. I put in a new battery... All fixed. Like a new phone. I love my n6 and this ROM. It makes sense to me that as the battery goes bad it can have negative impact on the battery electronics. Excessive heat, part of batteries getting old and going bad, does strange things to the electronics.

If your battery isn't old then I think you have a bad battery and you should still replace it. It's dangerous to continue to use an old or bad battery especially when the behavior gets weird. Your phone and battery are telling you something is wrong. Listen to it... before your phone catches fire in your pocket or on a plane.

Just my opinion. Which is worth exactly... zilch..

Good luck.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Agreed on all points! I think my main complaint is that google decided to make a phone whose battery isn't easily replaceable. And don't even get me started on RAM! Grrrrrrr!!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
yes you can get into recovery through adb reboot bootloader then fastboot to recovery and in twrp command line you can input all the commands to wipe, as well as install the rom. That is one good thing about twrp. and the twrp command line interfce through shell .i am blind and i can flash any device through the twrp command line interfac through my linux box. using orca screenreader. I also have a script to do all this as well as set up the necessary permissions to bring up accessibility services as well as start up accessibility services as well as bring up talkback the open source screenreader that the blind use to access android on a touch screen.

Is it okay to dirty flash 15.1 + 15.1 opengapps from 14.1?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kraehetest:
Yes, but wipe system.

Make a backup!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrsg:
Thanks, worked fine. Just in case anyone else still wants to do this for some reason (I delayed because I was trying to figure out how to update 14.1 and just gave up because of unrelated issues) you need to :

wipe system as [MENTION=1521412]kraehetest[/MENTION] said

flash Opengapps for 8.1

flash Magisk 16.0 (if you need root)

remove Google Apps like Gmail and Chrome and reinstall them afterwards (otherwise they FC-loop on startup)

one issue I had (indirectly related to this) was when you uninstall Chrome, it seems to take all the downloads with it, so I lost whatever was still in my Downloads folder (this may have happened earlier in the install process without me really noticing)

I actually tried replacing my battery. Popped open the back - all the screws were stripped so I couldn't get them out. I saw online that Moto has a reputation for using cheap screws, so I guess I'm just screwed when it comes to replacing the battery.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

Yup, that's the ribbon cable I was talking about. I know I didn't reconnect mine properly the first time I opened my phone up, and then I couldn't use the power button. Thankfully I hadn't sealed it yet (was just checking if it worked), so it was easy enough to line it back up correctly and reconnect. Solved my problem. I can't tell from the pic if yours has any damage or if it's connected properly, maybe someone else who has more experience can chime in.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mezerr:
Not sure what kernel change have happened recently.. but I always find 1 or 2 cores disabled. This is even with 90% battery. I turned off mpdecision, which stops the offlining and onlining if cores, but after turning all cores on, randomly one or two will be off. Wierd. Fyi, I'm on a fresh battery, and bcl isn't engaged.

This is different then the offlining of cores for bcl, or even when thermal config calls for it. Something is wonky in core control where it randomly desires to offline a core. Meh

Bug or impending doom?

So I am running my N6 with LineageOS 15.1 and over the weekend I had a weird experience. Out of the blue my apps just start crashing. Not thinking much of it, I reboot the phone thinking something in memory got corrupted, and the phone will not boot to system. It booted to recovery just fine, and my data partition was intact. So I just reflashed the latest night build that I still had local to the phone, and sure enough, the phone booted right up. I've been through a lot with this phone, even replaced the battery, and now I am starting to wonder if the flash memory is starting to fail. Anyone else encounter something like this? Maybe just an issue with the nightly?

Thanks,

Check your screwdriver. You'll find people saying to use torx T3 and others saying T4. I definitely have to use T4. Also, your screwdriver may be worn.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
To add to [MENTION=4610285]runekock[/MENTION] excellent advice, there's a benefit to using a magnifying glass to ensure the screwdriver is square in the head of the screw. Several of the N6 screws are at an angle and this can caused stripped heads.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ExpectedCrayon:
Thanks for the tips. I actually tried a T3 and T4, and even walked over to a UBreakIFix down the street from my apartment assuming I was doing something wrong. They took my phone and battery, said since I provided the parts they could do the repair for $30, which I thought was fair. Came back and they told me that the screws were fully stripped and they couldn't get them out either. They even showed me exactly which screws were having problems (they managed to get two out). So, at this point I'm just hoping my N6 can last me long enough to get a new phone. If the OP6T gets wireless charging, there's a good chance I'd move to that, but we'll see what's out.

20180807 nightly is working fine here, too!

I had quite the scare the first time - I made a backup in TWRP, then installed the zip from "/sdcard/LineageOS Updates" with the "Reboot after installation" option. On boot, entering my pattern, decryption failed, claiming the pattern was correct but I'd need to reset my phone.

Thankfully, fully powering off the phone (seems I had to force power-off with holding power button) then powering it back on worked fine.
