i can build custom ROMs but no one know all thing bro ( thanks for your amazing build )
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
So how soon you going to fix voLTE
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Yes sir. I second this. Much help is needed to fix VoLTE

Damn, Velocity build of 1.0, is smooth as all hell at the expense of battery life. I'm down 10% in 10 mins after a complete charge.

I can't keep confusing the battery life percentage indicator for the clock. Dropping like a countdown timer here.
[Nexus 6  General] BobAzzon:
Looks like you all have a prodigy on your hands.... Hopefully you can fix the issues with pie....heck, maybe you can make your own base...but honestly.. before you say something like that...keep in mind, a lot of people in here were building and flashing roms and kernels most of your lifetime...so maybe rephrase the know everything part and give these gentleman the respect they deserve.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Then you have an issue with an app. I get great battery with all my builds. Pie is admittedly less than was attainable with Oreo but I'm sure it will get better as time goes on.

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Would be even more amazing if you used the custom built included kernel as the developer intended.... But hey, what do I know.
[Nexus 6  General] cfrank38:
In the latest pie velocity the cámara is very laggy after some time. Restarting systems and cámara is funcional. Later the cam is very laggy. Can someone confirm ?
[Nexus 6  General] matchesmalonr:
It was on my end. I changed the governor to performance and then back to interactive and it went back to normal.

Thank you for this great ROM.
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Can confirm, same issue here. Also, every once in a while the camera isn't available, camera app crashes. After reboot it's fine, but when you need the camera most, it crashes and camera can't be accessed. It's not the camera app, it's the access to the camera, kernel? Don't know much about the internals of Android, i must be speaking out of my azz.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 AM ----------

This is a clean install of Pie with nano 9.0 gapps. And chrome browser. (For testing purposes I kept it minimal) and as I was browsing the phone got warm, doesn't happen on Oreo) I get that I'm comparing Apples to Oranges here but just relaying my experience with Oreo. Phone stays cool to the touch even with normal tasks, admittedly when I play games phone does get warm, but that's to be expected

Oreo was in the same boat initially where Pie is now, nougat was the release to stick to for a while, but issues got sorted and now a solid Oreo release, VoLTE works too. . I can easily go 20 hrs on a single charge, with 3+ hrs of SOT.

I'm sure Pie will get the kinks ironed out over time. For now I switched back to Oreo. Looking forward to the next release. Keep up the awesome work.
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
This is what I get with Oreo, admittedly I haven't been using my phone as heavy today as I mostly do other days, mainly calls and listen to music through Bluetooth.

These results are with LineageOS 15.1 w/ Popcorn Kernel 1.9.2.2 and only Mako Hotplug enabled. Other than this all other kernel settings are stock.
[Nexus 6  General] teamoushy:
I tried almost all roms in this thread and happily i love to be on one of them as my daily driver, my issue is that i need to keep my device enrolled in my organizational MDM which require device encryption, and till now i cant find any pie rom that offers device encryption, may i ask for the reason of my pie roms on nexus 6 failed with encryption? And what are the chances of fixing this in the future? Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] Wizkid:
Really smooth Rom... Installed with pixel gapps and everything works so far!... Awesome job!!!

I will test battery over next few days...

Fyi...On beta 4...ARcore kept crashing but on the latest release everything is smooth...Thanks for the good work!!!
[Nexus 6  General] II_DiE_4:
And this is what I get on Nougat.

Our device end on 7, I think, for a good reason. Nothing will match the performance/battery.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Then why even bother looking at a thread dedicated to Pie builds? This is what happens with all ported devices. Without updated vendor binaries will never taste the best.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
This is resolved
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
Running the new Velocity update. It's fantastic. Thanks [MENTION=4110652]ctfrommn[/MENTION]!

Bliss Rom Pie version beta released today
[Nexus 6  General] Dernz:
For Nexus 6?
[Nexus 6  General] runekock:
Adaptive screen brightness seems worse than Oreo. I run Nitrogen, but I guess it is a problem for all Pie roms on 32 bit devices. The phone is supposed to learn my preferences using AI:

https://fossbytes.com/how-adaptive-brightness-adaptive-display-work-android-pie/

but the AI is part of Device Health Services, and that gapp hasn't been released for 32 bit pie (open gapps supplies the Oreo version).

Result: I have to turn down the brightness every time I use the phone in darkness.
[Nexus 6  General] maksimreder:
Yes, solid release. By far the best PIE room for the Shamus.
[Nexus 6  General] Volidon:

In the official velocity rom, Stay loading netflix but not video playback...
[Nexus 6  General] Markeee:
I've installed and tried every rom listed here no problem but getting an unusual error when trying to install this Bliss rom and latest gapps the Install fails on latest gapps with error code 70 in twrp

I've googled searched it out hard and followed every work around video and thread out there i can find nothing seems to work

Hoping someone more knowledgeable is familiar with it and has a fix
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Are you saying app doesn't load or videos aren't playing?
[Nexus 6  General] ChristianF2:
I can use the app but when i choose a movie, stay loading the movie, but after 30mins still loading... Only on netflix and prime video, youtube working properly.
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
Hmm, I seem to be experiencing the same issue. I tried playing a video on my PH1 to see if it was a Netflix issue, but it plays right away.

However, if I tell the N6 to cast to my Chromecast before trying to play a video in Netflix, it works just fine when casting. If I disconnect from cast and try to play on the N6 again, it goes back to "Loading" forever. But I can back out and tell it to cast again it the casting works. So it looks like it just won't let me load and watch on the N6.
[Nexus 6  General] MartinN6:
.. not at my device.

When I first open Netflix-app, there is a error message "Device failure occurred. Please try again (500-117)" and the app closed. If I open the app a second time, it works as it should (HD / L1).
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
But you arent on the same build as they are ;)
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
I assume this works on other Roms? If so, I have no idea what would cause this so unless someone does it likely wont get resolved.
[Nexus 6  General] MartinN6:
Solution:

you have to rename or delete the file "liboemcrypto.so" from the folder system/vendor/lib!

Then there is the first start of netflix an error message and the second start of netflix start and run the movies!

It works at my device because I restored the netflix app with TitaniumBackup!

Edit: of course you can use the Magisk Netflix_Enable Modul as well
[Nexus 6  General] MiltonFine21:
On Velocity V1.0, if the phone drops below a certain battery percentage, and is restarted, it will fail to stay powered on for more than a minute before shutting down again. Plugging it in will allow it to restart normally. Lowest battery percentage I've seen the problem with so far is 26%.
[Nexus 6  General] Volidon:
seems to be working for me but time will tell. How is it running for you after installing?
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
Your battery is old...nothing to do with the ROM..
[Nexus 6  General] EpicKip:

New Velocity build up. See changelog for details. This is round 1 of features. More will come next build.
[Nexus 6  General] matchesmalonr:
The date and cell network signal icon are too close to the edge of the quick settings panel. Any way to fix that? On velocity ROM 2.0. Otherwise a good daily driver.

What's an unpin screen? And I'm not really interested in "bug" reports. This is my personal Rom I choose to share. Use it or don't.
[Nexus 6  General] hameedf:
Sorry, but I have been on this rom for a while and I liked it, just for notifying.

So anyone using latest Cabon rom?

Im using bliss latest but they messed with substratum...

Is carbom rom the most updated right now?

Thanks in advance for all...
[Nexus 6  General] SilverSix:
I'd ask that in the Carbon thread. OP doesn't seem to update since Bliss has been out for a hot minute and still is unlisted. Also, you get feedback from only Carbon users.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Android has taken a back seat for the last month as my personal life has taken precedent. I will try to update both ROM Repo's at least twice a month but I will not be as active as updating almost immediately after release as I was before.
[Nexus 6  General] Wizkid:
Velocity rom is really smooth...Thanks for all your efforts!

Looking forward for next update!!!
[Nexus 6  General] The Doctor04:
Big, big thanks to this Nexus 6 community. Hands down the best experience for the last 3 years!!! In all my years here at XDA, this N6 Dev community has blown me away on a daily basis and is one of the best group of Dev's on the planet. My N6 is on its last leg with the battery which I believe is probably causing all my issues with camera, overheating, slow response, LTE is starting to drop, and I'm seeing a number of WiFi issues once I start getting around 60% battery. I could replace the battery but I just think it's time. This is the longest I have had a device in my hands and I will miss it. It's captured some great moments...It's like I saying goodbye to the family dog before being put down. Being on Verizon, we don't have too many choices and too many unlocked devices. I decided to go with the Essential PH-1, hopefully I'll see some of you guys over there. Thanks again for all the help, guidance and kick as ROMs for the big boy Shamu!!!
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
I went to a ph1 aswell,but still have my trusty back up Shamu running on a different line
[Nexus 6  General] mahir555:
So now am on unofficial X rom . is there any way to customize the led color for different app notifications?
[Nexus 6  General] Wizkid:
[MENTION=4110652]ctfrommn[/MENTION] Hope you are still working on Velocity rom (not asking for eta;)). I am still rocking and loving your release 1 rom... I think it is smoothest rom with incoming calls switching to 3G automatically! Thanks...
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Most definitely. I build every day. In the process of updating to December security the incoming call issue over LTE popped up again so Im working through that. Are there other Roms that have that fixed?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
No other Shamu ROMs have this fixed yet. Though I found some possible commits to try from the Pixel Experience Opt_telelphone repo.
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
I had it fixed. Once I get it resolved again Ill let you know what it is/was. Carbon seems to have this resolved as well though Im not seeing anything in their source that looks familiar regarding it.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
For VoLTE?
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
No, switching to 2G/3G when calls come in so they can be received when youre on LTE.
[Nexus 6  General] Galati93:
I wanted to ask, ¿is there any way to get the launcher which OG pixel had in 2016? I know it's pixel launcher, but i mean the look it had on homescreen on any pie rom? Or it will automatically update to the new look?
[Nexus 6  General] Wizkid:
I have not found any rom which switches to 3G for incoming. I am using Velocity as daily driver and it is rock solid! Really appreciate your efforts and am looking forward to next release!!!
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Velocity absolutely receives incoming calls perfectly whether on LTE or WiFi. If on LTE youll see the network type change to 3G (or 1x if on VZW) prior to the call coming through. The only other Rom I found with this issue fixed was Carbon. Now that I "lost" the fix Im not sure if or when a new update will come. I spent weeks working on this the first time and I have no idea what the fix ended up being at this point.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Try removing the IMS.apk. that's what the bullhead folks had luck with apparently. Unfortunately for Verizon it seems like no mater what, unless VoLTE is on calls drop the data connection on Pie even with this workaround. (Not able to browse the web on a call) (not that this needed clarified) lol
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
Nope, that changes nothing. Though I must admit Im very surprised data still works without it.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Same. It must be the new IMS Pie implementation in the back end. The IMS is even showing registered in the Phone info menu.
[Nexus 6  General] Wizkid:
Sad :( to learn that you misplaced the "fix", hope you are able to find it. May be Carbon developer can help finding it or maybe you guys could work together to fix VoLTE! Thanks...
[Nexus 6  General] mahir555:

[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:

[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
Not for Shamu, NO Pie ROM for Shamu works correctly on Verizon,some users have given up and move on to other newer phones,my self includied (now have a ph1)Istill have a Shamu active on my account but leaving it a Oreo ROM
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Pie ROMs work fine on Verizon. Minus being able to use voice and data at the same time, because on all carriers right now VoLTE is not working.
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
My statement still stands correct,voice calls not working on HD voice means it does not work correct on Verizon, such as my case i live in a rural area and with out HD voice the phone is useless,if you live in a more populated area with better signal it may work correct
[Nexus 6  General] ctfrommn:
The fact that this, the encryption issue, and enforcing still isn't resolved months later leads me to believe it won't be. It's not like lots of really good developers haven't been working on it. I think we're just getting too far away from unavailable, needed updates to expect these to ever work. There is only so much hacking you can do. As soon as I find a suitable replacement I'll be moving on as well. Shamu has been an amazing device and I've ever only owned Nexus phone so this is going to be very difficult to move on from. My goal is to find the device that best respects the spirit of the Nexus line. We'll see.
[Nexus 6  General] ECrispy:
It is sad to see this phone come to end of life. It seems there are multiple issues with no fix since Google stopped supporting this phone years ago and devs have been working tirelessly but only so much can be done.

I'm still trying to find a 9.0 Pie rom that will work on Project Fi, looks like Verizon also lacks support.
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Dirty Unicorns devs are working on the encryption and enforcing issue. Lineage devs are also making progress too. VoLTE being the big one that most other devices are also having an issue with.

I think the problem is the speed at which these things are being resolved is unsatisfactory for some users. While everyone is claiming the phone is useless now and end of life, I can't help but laugh. Most 8.1 ROMs are still a solid option and everything works. If time has taught us anything, development will continue, it may not be the rapid fire cycle we've enjoyed for the last 5 years almost but hey, most phones don't last 2 years nowadays.

If anyone wants to move on from this phone be my guest, but I can count only 2-3 phones that offer what this 5 year old phone can. ( If that even)
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Proof is in the pudding.
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
Re-read my post,I still have a Shamu running Oreo on a active line,my wife has 2 still running 7.1.the Shamu is not dead I just don't see it running pie as solid as it runs Oreo

[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
Just a heads up guys DU 12.17.18 -1604 is one the first ROMs to support SE Linux enforcing on Pie. I've been running it since last night. Super stable if a little bare bones. Still no VoLTE. But I'll potentially take another stab at it.
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
coolest boot animation ever

been running dirty unicorns build on the vzw network with no problems yet receiving calls even after a few reboots (manual ones . havent had any random reboots yet)

the battery lasted great on my first cycle and the phone goes to deep sleep like it should

so far a pretty good experience.
[Nexus 6  General] kgiri247:
I also moved on to the ph1 back on prime day. Love getting security patches minutes after Google drops them. Curious you running stock rom or recommend any custom?

Miss aspects of the Shamu and following this community. Nice to see 9 builds of pie. Might have to try a pie build on Shamu.
[Nexus 6  General] deadcatsrule:
I still have a active Shamu but

I'm running custom on my ph1...... Pm me if you want more info so we stay on topic
[Nexus 6  General] Elektroschmock:
Going enforcing isn't really hard if you give random services the permission to read or write everything. :p

Selinux is about writing the policies in a way that they aren't overly permissive.

So the policies need a bit of rework.

[Nexus 6  General] rushier.ivan:
Hello guys. It's been a while since I used my Shamu. Now I miss it. I've been thinking, is there a telegram group for our beloved Nexus 6? If yes, please pm me.

I wanna jump into the shamu game again. It's still left on last AOSiP oreo build. Now I wanna give pie a shot. Any recommendations? :)
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
There probably are some telegram groups, nothing that I have started. Second, try any of the ROMs listed in this repository thread or read through the comments.

[Nexus 6  General] megaceso:
For me the best right now is Nitrogen OS
[Nexus 6  General] wjphillips:
Yep. I switched from Verizon to google fi. I'm running AndroidX and it works well.

I have noticed a few small issues (no biggie for me) that I thought I'd mention here. I've been on Android X for over a month now.

1. Google pay doesn't work. (this is probably normal for custom roms)

2. In SmartLock, trusted face doesn't work. The other smart lock features work fine.

3. I had to install a camera app (this could've been my fault by not installing the correct gapps). After install it worked perfectly.

That's really all I have found after using it as a daily driver for over a month. Great job! I'm quite happy with this rom!
[Nexus 6  General] kidhudi:
i think NFC is jacked up on all pie roms.

how is FI compared to VZW? notice any big issues using that provider?
[Nexus 6  General] wavedashdoc:
No issues with NFC that I've had. What ROM (s) are you speaking to?

My friend has project Fi. Seems to work just fine for him, but he's also not a heavy data user off of WiFi. Which at this point after being trained for years, I'm in the same boat. Verizon 4gb plan.

Hello again, I gave Lineage and Bliss Pies a try and ended up restoring my Nitrogen Pie rom. I liked all the extra features in the Bliss but missed the Nitrogen and I guess I'll stick with it.
