So that press conference was SUPER disappointing. I was thinking of either purchasing a Pixel 3 or last year's Pixel 2 XL, but now I'm going to again skip this next generation of phones. The Nexus 6 is still the king. And to me that is hilarious because they continue to sell inferior products.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Google has officially turned into Apple. Zero chance I'd ever pay that much for a phone. Hopefully the mid range Pixel rumors for early next year are true. Nokia has my interest right now. Beyond that I'll keep Shamu another year.
[Nexus 6  General] ChristianF2:
im gonna better buy a one plus,6 and keep my nexus 6,

excuse me, in your rom why the brigthness is lower than the stock color profile,? how to change it?

Thank you for your support in this pie rom wavedashdoc.

Anyone figure out a solution to the lost mobile LTE signal after reboot where you have to toggle airplane mode to get mobile service back issue ?

I been trying to trouble shoot it for a few days with everything that I could think of with no success including different radios

I'm on xfinty mobile which runs off of Verizon network

Issue only started on latest 10/5 Nitrogen build previous builds work fine and haven't had this issue before going back to PureNexus days

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
Imo....From my experience after a reboot if you call voicemail, it says turn off airplane mode, first then it will kick to data on even though airplane is not toggled on...so I think the phone thinks airplane mode is on at startup.....but I have gone back to Oreo for now
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
It's something in the device repo. I changed back to my old one and this issue is gone. I have some new ones to deal with but that is absolutely caused by something newer in device.
[Nexus 6  General] Aimless Rambler:
Entirely agree! Trust is an issue as well. Granted, about everything since the Nexus 5X has proven, it's best to wait until all the bugs are worked out ... which is usually about a year after initial release. Why I'm such a Nexus 6 fan, twas a quality build from the start.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes, after the disasters that were the Nexus 6p and 5X later on in life, then the failure that was the first batch of Pixel 2Xls... Google's quality control has been lacking.

Its just funny that in 2018, 4 years after the Nexus 6 came out there isn't a phone by Google that matches the features of our great phone.

I say to those of you whom are looking to upgrade throw a extremely stable Oreo ROM on your phone. Those of you that want to continue with the latest Pie is getting there.

I actually went back to AOSiP 8.1 for my DD after about 2 full days of work trying to get VoLTE. After going through and updating thousands of lines to the new Pie file paths on the IMS.apk and having it still not work really brought me down. Plus the battery life just isn't on par with Oreo yet.
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
I give up after spending a few days and like 20 clean installs trying everything I could think of I went back to the previous Nitrogen Sept build.

Hope this glitch don't continue on into future builds without a solution that would suck big time
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Again, that issue is solved on my current build. I need to deal with a couple other ones now but that is absolutely fixable.
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
I am not sure if it is related to this rom, but since using this rom the caller id is not coming up when receive a call. It shows the phone number, when it is stored in the contacts.

I´ve found a "caller id" switch in the settings but it was enable.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
You have to specify which ROM. There are 6 ROMs currently being discussed here. As the thread name states.
[Nexus 6  General] AmirHRC:
update . there is Nitrogen os 5/10/18 pie
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
Yeah thanks for the reply

I've tested all the roms listed here and its not an issue with any of them except for the one latest Nitrogen 10-5 build

So I just went back to Nitrogens previous Sept build no issues there and I'll wait till other roms catch up with Nitrogen added features and customization's that I've kind of gotten use to already

I'm looking forward to a new Velocity release to test
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
Netflix App Not Available in Play Store, No G-Cam (Velocity)

Awesome work on the Velocity ROM! Thank you! My Nexus is actually usable again, and perhaps preferable to my PH1 (I like the wide screen 16:9 ratio: easier typing!). However, I'm very inexperienced with this whole process, but I did seem to figure out how to get Velocity to load (correctly, who knows?). Strangely, Netflix can't be downloaded from the Play Store as it's "not compatible with my device" and the Google Camera never imported with G-Apps. Using a third party camera app leads to the app crashing (OpenCamera), or it's really slow. Face unlock also crashes during set up. LightRoom is able to use the camera, however. Maybe I did something wrong or need to start over? Do I need to re-encrypt the phone?
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
You are right. I forgot it. Apologizes.

The rom I am talking about is AndroidX (Unofficial) (10.2.18).

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
No!!!!!! Do not rencrypt your phone you will lock your self out....also try different gapps for camera...if you are rooted that would possibly be the issue with Netflix
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
Thank you for the info!

I was not rooted, so I'm not sure about the Netflix issue. I am rooted now however, with Magisk, and Netflix is available in the Play store, so that seems to be solved.

I downloaded the Open Gapps app and it detected that I should load 7.0 version apps. I did try loading those, but still no camera. Updated: I went back to the 9 apps after getting an "error 20" with the installer. I may try wiping and reinstalling everything later now that I have a better idea about how all this works and see if I maybe didn't do a "clean install" as directed.

I installed this camera app, but face unlock still crashes during setup. https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/mod-google-camera-4-2-arm-android-7-0-t3489084
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
You need to use at least stock sized GApps to include camera. You need 9.0 GApps only. Just download them straight from the Open Gapps website, not the app. http://opengapps.org/ The app is simply reading the device fingerprint which is still 7.1. No idea if face unlock even works on Pie. Ive never used or tried it.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
So off topic, but I think the Razor Phone 2 just stole the Pixel 3's thunder. Also might be a contender for my next phone as it supposedly has Verizon support.

- 16:9 aspect ratio

- SD 845

- light skin of Android 8.1

- Treble support for custom ROMs.

- 8gb of ram

- 4,000 MAH battery

- 64GB of internal storage

- SD card support up to 1TB

- ip67 water resistant

- front facing speakers

- notification RGB light

- wireless charging

- 120 hz IPS screen

Only downgrade is a headphone jack, but I'd trade that for expandable storage and a 4,000 MAH. Maybe switching back to LCD might be hard. But I love smooth animations and Transitions.

Thoughts?
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
I´ve tried earlier today Velocity rom.

First issue, I couln´t pass the pin. So I came back to previous rom (Nitrogen), disable the pin and reinstall Velocity.

Then got into a loop restarting the phone. No success for me.

So, after being with AndroidX from time ago, I´ll give a chance to Nitrogen 05/10, for some time, to see how it works.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

I can confirm that issue (showing phone number instead of caller id) is not happening with Nitrogen 05/10.

Thanks
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
Never had a issue installing velocity
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
It was a dirty install, from Nitrogen, but the rest of the roms were fine with dirty install.
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
I see ...dirty flash from same ROM is normally ok but dirty from different ROMs usually never works out
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
From AndroidX to Nitrogen is fine with dirty way.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
A. You should never do this.

B. Only because Nitrogen is built off of the same device source as Androidx and has added features.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
the razor phone has no support from devs. they have twrp for 10 months and not a single rom can i find.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
The razor phone 1 does not have a great support community, probably because of it's lack of Treble support and poor initial interest. I feel like this will be solved with the Razor phone 2, specs alone should sell this phone. Plus many, including myself want Verizon support. Unfortunately One Plus and Nokia are not including us in their offerings.

Regardless a GSI will be flashable and all future versions of AOSP Android should be supported and that is more than half the battle nowadays.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Other than the fact its absolutely hideous it looks decent. Still too much $ for me though. I really see almost no point for that much processing power and ram in a mobile device.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

So let me clarify, this won't be a day 1 purchase for me, I never buy phones when they are first launched because of initial hardware and software issues that usually need a second pass ( Pixel 2XL as the most recent example) but, give it a couple months the price will drop and we'll see what the early reviews say. MKBDH lover the first razor one and the only reason he stopped using it as a DD was the camera. That appears to be rectified, plus I'm sure this phone will be able to run a modified Pixel Camera App which will make up for anything lacking in the normal camera app.

So, I see it as future proofing. I've had this phone for going 4 years. I expect to do the same with my next one.
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
To be honest, I only do that when it is same version.

Today I was lazy for a clean install... :o
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Velocity doesnt dirty flash over any other Rom with good results. The internal differences are vast from the kernel to the Rom to the toolchains I use. Not to mention the optimization changes. I always state Velocity is a clean flash coming from anything else. It can usually be dirtied over itself fine. I flash numerous builds a day and would never clean flash all of them.
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
One feature people is not paying too much attention is the LTE category and Wi-Fi modes.

LTE category and CA (Carrier Aggregation) mode are the capabilities for speed, depending on the network as well.

Same the Wi-Fi modes. Specially the MIMO modes.

CA and MIMO are the techniques to use several data streams on different frequencies at same time.

As far as I can see, that Razer 2 is CA5 and Cat18, CA5 means up to 5 data streams at same time, and Cat18 are 1200/150 Mbps.

Regarding the Razer 2´s Wi-Fi, I can´t see further details more than a/b/g/n/ac and dual-band, but nothing about MIMO features.

Currently, maximum CA is 6CA, and Cat18 (not sure if any phone got Cat21 already).

LTE-A Speeds

Wi-Fi MIMO Speeds
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Wow this is excellent info. Thank you for sharing. Where did you find this? Second, what is the Nexus 6 rated at?

I actually ran a speed test yesterday and was surprised that in a congested city I was get 20 down 30 up. That never happens.
[Nexus 6  General] EA1DDO_SGS2:
Well, I work on this.

Actually we are deploying something called massive-MIMO. It will be able to provide up to 8 data streams per (BTS) antenna.

All of this is to be ready for the coming soon 5G.

I think our Nexus 6 is 2CA, Cat6 300/50 Mbps.
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
Velocity Install Issues Solved

Apparently my Velocity install wasn't "clean" the first time. I just redid the whole thing from scratch, and that seemed to fix my issues. I think the method for flashing to the Nexus 6 may be a bit unclear for someone like me that has no real experience with this, so here's the breakdown of the method that worked for me.

I first downloaded the WugFresh Nexus Toolkit on the computer and went through all of the WugFresh Nexus Toolkit steps to get everything set up for flashing/unlocking. (I did this almost a year ago, so I don't remember the exact steps.) I think then used WugFresh to install TeamWin Recovery Partition (TWRP), which is (to me) essentially a touchscreen visualization of BIOS settings or DOS-Prompt for Android.

From within Wugfresh on the computer, I launched the "advanced utilities" and selected the Custom Recovery option to boot TWRP on the Nexus. From within TWRP on the N6, I went to "wipe" and then "advanced wipe" and checked everything. I swiped right to wipe. Then I went BACK to the main TWRP screen (I think this is important as the OS on the N6 is gone at this point). Don't do anything else on the N6 yet.

Next I downloaded the Gapps for Pie and also the Velocity Beta and saved them in the "downloads" folder on my computer. I used WugFresh on the computer again. Under "advanced utilities", I clicked on "Flash ZIPs from Computer". I added first the Velocity ZIP and then the Gapps ZIP and told Wugfresh to flash them to the N6. This process takes a while. I can't remember if I had to acknowledge anything on the N6, but if I did, I told it to restart after completion. At this point, I just waited for the phone to restart and then set up everything when it restarted (accounts, etc.) and updated all relevant apps including TWRP. (I could not yet load Netflix in the Play store at this point)

Next I turned Developer Options back on and enabled USB debugging. Then I downloaded the Magisk ZIP (preloaded in the apps with Velocity Pie) by hitting "install" and then downloading just the ZIP. I used Wugfresh again on the computer to enter the Custom Recovery mode on the N6 and then installed the Magisk ZIP through TWRP on the N6 (it was in the downloads file on the N6). Restarted the N6 and downloaded BusyBox from the Play Store. I just told BusyBox (no idea what this really does) to install and then restarted the phone after it was complete. When the phone was restarted, everything seemed to be working fine.

Did I do right? I hope this helps someone else with the installation. If you follow these steps, it probably only takes 15 minutes total. I probably spent 5-6 hours.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
I guess you didn't read the instructions posted. All you have to do is:

- Wipe everything except storage in TWRP.

- Then flash any ROM,

- Then flash open gapps package 9.0 arm or any variety, flash magisk, then reboot.

If you were coming from 8.1 or below, you would have to perform a full device wipe, which decrypts the phone ( and deletes everything on it)
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
Sure did read them, but for the completely uninitiated, that's like saying, "Open the hood, drain the oil, replace the filter."
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes but this phone has only been around since 2014, there are plenty of guides tutorials available and the one I provided in the OP posts. Which talks about Wugfresh too.

If you search change the oil for your make, model and year of your car on YouTube I bet you'll find a step by step guide. An example I fixed a part on my car that was only $60 but the mechanic wanted 500+. And get this, that tutorial was done by a 7 year old! Research my friend, is your best friend. No need to take 5-6 hours.
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
That's great, and I'm glad that tutorial worked well for you.

The Velocity ROM is working very well, with perhaps the only oddity being that it takes about 3-4 rings on the incoming callers end for me to get a ring on my end (maybe the phone always did this, but it's been a while since I used it).

Also, it's entirely unimportant, but Face Unlock does not work, even after getting the Gcam to install. This is a pointless feature of no importance, and I only stumbled upon it when I was originally trying to figure out what was going on with the camera.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Yes as the OP and the one that wrote the step by step instructions, yes it works. I covered all the possible scenarios for flashing.

You need to flash this to fix face unlock. For whatever reason only certain GAPPs packages have this still.

Edit: looks like it won't upload. Search 'facelock all.zip' on XDA. Might have a link for it still on the ROM repo 8.1 thread.

[Nexus 6  General] Dernz:

[Nexus 6  General] gravitysandwich:
[MENTION=4110652]ctfrommn[/MENTION]

I assume VoLTE isn't working on this build? But more specifically, receiving calls isn't working on LTE (WCDMA works fine for receiving calls)?

From what wavedashdoc said earlier, it seems like fixing VoLTE isn't such a simple task...

Edit: couldn't the device just detect a receiving call and handover to 3G or 2G to make the call? Because the phone switches to 3G whenever I make a call.
[Nexus 6  General] def1003:
Just my personal opinion but i have not found a P rom that i would consider a daily driver yet, that is if you're into all the extra features and what not
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Receiving calls works fine. It does just handover to 3G when calls come in.
[Nexus 6  General] luvscake:
Latest velocity running great for me! Calls and everything I use work as expected. Im using the Roku app to cast showbox movies to my roku smartTV without any issues. Great work! Thank you sir:good:
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
you on VZW?
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
No, on VZW calls just hand over to 1xrtt.

I dont honestly have a lot of confidence the VoLTE issue will get resolved. It will take either a very smart someone to reverse engineer an ims.apk from a 64bit device or to successfully revert all the PIE commits breaking it (and there are tons) I just dont see it happening.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Yes, is fixed now. I'll look to do a release build soon. Meaning in the next few days. I'm working on a bunch more stuff right now. Specifically more performance.
[Nexus 6  General] cfrank38:
A question. I have a banking app and whenever I flash a room dirty he detect it and I have to reactivate the app . I don't know Howe the software detect it. Is there a way to hide something. What is changing in a dirty flash ????
[Nexus 6  General] runekock:
It might detect any number of things, but my guess is the Android id. As you can read here, the id depends on the signing key used when building the rom:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-restore-change-android-id-t3219345/post74009818

If you dirty flash between different versions from the same dev, you can ask him to use the same signing key every time (big rom projects like Lineage already do that for their official builds). If you dirty flash between different roms, there's nothing you can do - but then that isn't recommended in any case.

I dont really do "bug reporting" like mainstream Roms do. You're welcome to post about it in my thread on Android-port if you want but I doubt anything will get done about it.

Is there a custom launcher that integrates well with Pie?

It is really annoying having the back button always show up and also not having an integrated overview screen with the dock and app drawer. Can't this be enabled by root?

I really want to use Nova, but the lack of proper integration puts me off.
[Nexus 6  General] MartinN6:
Closest to "Google Pixel" is perhaps the launcher "Lawnchair" (Lawnchair_2.0-601.apk) together with the Magisk module "Lawnstep-v1.0.2.zip".

You should try it for yourself ...
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Nope, thats something on your end.
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Thanks Velocity. Solid build. Flawless.

One thing I did notice is the phone is running warmer than Oreo, and battery drainage is more, I have not modified anything on the kernel.

Any interactive governor tweaks recommended?
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Nope, these are customized settings. And when you say "running warmer than Oreo" are you talking about my Oreo builds or some other Rom?
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Thanks. I was Referring to LineageOS Oreo, I have not flashed a Velocity Oreo build because Lineage worked so well, didn't see the need to try other builds.

Btw the screen on time counter stays at 0 mins.
