Best Nexus 6P ROM Ever!!

I hope every one's doing great here, First of all i would love to thank the Statix Team for keeping us updated and adding new features on angler. :good::)

I had a little question if any one could tell me that can i DIRTY FLASH the latest build onto my statix_angler-20190321-0315-9-v2.0-OFFICIAL build through TWRP because i don't see any update option in my settings.

Thanks in advance! :):)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Yes Update can be Dirty Flash,,,,I have done updating my Rom many times,,,Just wipe cache & Dalvik cache
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
What the.... lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tirmazi3:
It worked

I did as you said and BOOM! It worked fine, i am using the latest ver now.... Thanks!:good::)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Well Glad to hear that ,,,Enjoy?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clumsyoxygen:
Odd. Worked fine for me before May and Android Q features. I'm not even sure how to troubleshoot TWRP (3.2.3.1). I'll attempt osmosis' modification instructions on 3.3.1.

Hit or miss, I guess, on dirty flash. Could it be my GApps contributing to it? I'll attempt to dirty again on June build.

Off topic : Anyone else joining the class action?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Only people I've seen talking about it either didn't keep receipts of having to get their battery replaced, or didn't have either issue with the device wondering if they can try to scumbag money from it even if they didn't have issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ffejy462:
I did. I'm on the fourth battery. Just screenshot the Amazon orders. Who knows if I'll get anything...What I found odd was even though they wanted verification of issues, they never asked for verification of actually owning a 6p. You'd think they'd want a serial number at least. Unless I totally messed the submission form up...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I mean four batteries is pretty crazy, and yeah I'm not sure how they will handle it. I'd assume for people that paid a ridiculous amount of money having them replace the battery by a company etc they would get the most.

But with the amount of batteries you've gone through of think that should be at least a couple hundred bucks lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] igylan:
try clean flash the next update then for the next one dirty flash it. I don't need to flash gapps again after the update, I just wipe the cache and dalvic. See how it goes.

Smart Pixel is effecting Overlays

Smart Pixel when enabled is messing up with other apps and permissions accepting dialogs.

like forexample if we have enabled smart pixels and then you try to open vpn and the vpn asks for permission then you wont be able to click on "OK" to accept it, similarly you cant give any application accessibility access due to same reason of smartpixel messing with permission dialogs. there was one time this was messing up with my another app where i have to complete registration and i cant click on "register" button to proceed further.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Its always messed up context menus
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clumsyoxygen:
I remembered that I'm on the Google Fi build tree.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
Nice ROM. Installed today no issues at all.

It would be nice if it was somehow possible to use this ROM without encryption. I've read all about the Google forced encryption etc. but was hoping, maybe sometime in the future there could be a Pie kernel that could avoid encryption in some way. At the moment, unless someone knows differently, if a password, pin or fingerprint is used for security, the booting into TWRP will not decrypt the data. The only way is to remove passwords, pins etc, before going into TWRP to take a backup and then to set the fingerprints and passwords again afterwards. A bit of a pain unless someone knows a better way
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
You must be very confused here.

1.You can in fact unencrypted this device if you format data while using a kernel that does not force encrypt.

2. I am encrypted and use a finger print and pin all the time and don't have a problem with twtp un encrypting data. I don't have to remove my pin just to go into recovery.

3. Learn how to work on twrp? I don't know what to tell you about backups. This device has never been able to restore a backup with a security pin set. If you do it by accident, then use the twrp file manager and delete the lock screen config, other than that just remove the pin before making a backup, not sure why that's so big of a deal you'd make a post about it, do you make backups daily? Kid of weird it is a deal for you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
So what kernel do you suggest to avoid encryption with this ROM?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I've never had a reason to not be encrypted, so I'm the wrong one to ask
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Droidxda:
Hi, I have the same problem with twrp patched for the blood. Is it possible that the uncrypt problem is due to the 4 cores patch?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clumsyoxygen:
Same boat dude. I've been watching TWRP updates and osmosis patch updates.

No idea how to even troubleshoot TWRP.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AmyClaraRose:
If you have pin set in ROM its pin code in twrp password in ROM is twrp password
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
That doesn't work. I tried pin, password and pattern and TWRP doesn't accept any of them.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
For password request issue in Twrp Set Your Screen Lock to swipe,,,Then adb Reboot to recovery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rty1138:
I'm having issues with the google NX camera. it wobbles and gets stuck in this wobbling back and forth thing just showing the last couple frames on the liveview.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
The screen brightness is very low on this ROM. Outdoors, even on full brightness, it's difficult to see anything. Any update to fix this?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
There won't be an update to fix it cause pie brightness is the worst, go on Oreo and then you'll be able to see and the screen will be way brighter
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Use High Brightness Mode. There's an app or you should be able to enable it in a kernel manager.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
That must only apply to this phone and this ROM then. Samsung phones show the same brightness on Pie or Oreo
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
Oh does it? I didn't know that, thought it was for all phones running pie.

I'm sure there must something in the pie ROM for Nexus 6P developers can change to match Oreo brightness then
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
Yes that works to an extent. It puts the phone on full brightness, but then there is no control with the brightness slider. It stays on full brightness regardless of the slider setting, with auto on or off.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

It's more likely a bug in the ROM and/or kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
It actually puts the brightness about 20% above what the default maximum brightness is. No you can't control it with the slider, but you can use the auto setting so it will go back to your normal brightness when you don't need it (e.g. when you are indoors). But at least this way you'll be able to see your screen when you're outdoors.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
You mean auto brightness setting? That does nothing. It still ramains of full brightness
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
The auto setting in the High Brightness Mode app.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
LOL

I'm setting it via EX Kernel Manager. Which app do you suggest? Link?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
High Brightness Mode by flar2. Its in Play Store.

EDIT: There is also a setting in there to enable/disable autobrightness when HBM is on.

EDIT 2: There is also a QS tile toggle for easy access.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
That's a paid app. Thanks for your help but I don't think I need to pay for an app because of a bug in the ROM. I can wait until it's fixed :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
The brightness bug will never get fixed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
There will be other ROMs
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
All pie roms have the same issue.

Switch to Oreo then you'll truly understand how good the display is on the Nexus 6P. Pie roms doesn't do it justice.

On Oreo i only have to put my brightness up to about 40-50% but on pie i HAVE to have it on 90% and above, or otherwise the screen is too dim, which kinda sucks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
You have been told multiple times now, it is how it is for PIE for this device, NOT the ROM.

That means, they are all like this on 9.0. Spend a couple bucks for an app that supports someone that does a ton for the community for nothing, move back to Oreo, or learn to deal are about your only options.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
Who asked you for your opinion.? Keep your nose out.

I will check other ROMs because this one is not satisfactory.

Any future posts by you will be ignored. A**hole
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
If you don't want options, don't post on public forums.

Flash any ROM you want, but the brightness you're complaining about won't change if its 9.0

And I'd be thrilled if you block me, not sure why you think I would give a damn about some random that gets butthurt when they get called out for comprehension problems and results to name calling because "muh feelings"

But the new "Sparks" interface is pretty strange and doesn't work well with material guidelines !

Can you revert to a more standard interface please ?

Just wondering what happened with the June Fi build?

Going to attempt to dirty flash. Fingers crossed on TWRP with PIN.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bigcelo75:
Having some issues with accent colors. The settings icon won't change back to default even after I restart the phone. Definitely Not a deal breaker. Was just wondering if anyone else had the same issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] akatyal2009:
Hi,the app wants kernel as requirement. Right now there is nothing stable frm elemental and franco fr pie..looks like a endless loop.olease correct me if im wrong.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lughnasadh:
Should work on this rom with the built-in kernel, but I'm not on this rom at the moment so can't say for sure. But its worked with every rom and the kernel that comes with it that I've tried. You do need to be rooted though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] igylan:
It works with this rom with the kernel that comes with it. Im using it right now.

Apps are closing automatically (After June Update)

Just updated to the June Release, one thing that i find very weird is that apps are closing automatically after just 2 or 3 secs of them being opened...

Any suggestion and help will be appreciated.

I have already try resetting the apps preferences, clearing the caches of the apps and restarting the phone so many times that i cant even remember....

So is there anything that i can try more?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AmyClaraRose:
There were some changes in this release did you reflash gapps if not could you reflash them please
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aitsamahad:
No i didn't reflashed them and i will flash them now if you are saying that it might fix it, but should it really fix the problem of apps getting closed? not just one or two.... each and every app is closing.... well except for playstore that is (playstore is working fine).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wrkerr:
Does this ROM have the option to enable OnePlus / OxygenOS style navigation gestures?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] taisharmoridin:
Greetings, followed the instructions and got the rom to install after flashing the other recovery - no issues there. Went back into recovery to flash Magisk, only to find that I can't mount the data partitions without decrypting... which requires a pattern that I was never asked to set. What gives ? Is there a default one somewhere ? I've searched the thread but can't find any reference....

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
If you are coming from stock rom, and it sounds like you are, then apart from wiping all the patitions, you need to "format data" and answer "yes" when requested. This will remove encryption.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] taisharmoridin:
I thought I had done that... but I'll give it another go. Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Buddy3927:
Sounds like you set a set a lockscreen password or fingerprint and didn't remove it before booting into recovery. If that is the case, try removing it and try again.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
Oh ignore my previous reply. I forgot which ROM I was responding to :)

To get back into TWRP you will first need to remove any passwords, patterns or other forms of locks to allow you to get back into TWRP. Once finished in TWRP you can put them back. This is normal for this ROM.

Phone can't boot into recovery

Hi everyone.

My Nexus 6p is actually completly clean. No Data, No Rom, No recovery. I don't know why, but it's impossible for me boot in TWRP. Flashed correctly by Fastboot (procedure OKAY) rebooting the phone, this version of TWRP (fbe-3.2.3-1) doesen't work. Any help or suggestion? Tks in advance
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
I'm using 3.2.3-1 and everything is OK.

I assume you can get into Fastboot/Bootloader mode with Vol down and hold Power?

What happens when you use the volume buttons to select Recovery with the Power button?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TaWa82:
Tks for quote

3 days ago, everything was grate me to......I can get into fastboot/bootloader mode, and everything is ok with power and volume buttons. It's just that the phone, despite the recovery being written correctly, cannot access it......I don't know why. I use the ROM correctly from November 2018. I decided to do a clean installation and deleted all the data from the phone, including recovery. An operation that I have already done at least two more times. This time, phone decide to no longer recognize the twrp fbe 3.2.3-1 which I need to use this great ROM. I do not know what to do. Phone write and read correctly other versions of twrp, but not this one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dave457:
I would suggest you download TWRP again from the OP. Other than this, I have no idea. Maybe the dev can help
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TaWa82:
I don't konow what to do man......i've just re-download the file 4 times......but ther's no way to boot in the recovery, even if the installation procedure is successful.......i don't understand.......I'm starting to think some alternative to fastboot for flash, but I don't know which one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Have you tried flashing OP fbe recovery through fde recovery?

If not then first flash the fde recovery after that flash fbe recovery and see if it works,,,if it does then don't forget to format phone after flashing Rom,,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TaWa82:
Hi, tks for quote

No man, I have to try. If it works, the phone will boot automatically in the fbe recovery, or I have to do something first? (A wipe cache data or something.....)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Nope just flashed the fbe recovery thorugh the fde one and then click reboot to recovery ,,if it worked for you it will directly boot into the fbe recovery ,,,,After flashing Rom you must have to format your phone afterward and then simply reboot.

I always do that way like flashing fde one first then fbe one,,,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TaWa82:
Hi again,

tried to flash from fde to fbe, it worked only once but the twrp fbe seemed poorly written and worked slow and badly. I didn't try to load the rom and the blood patch.........doubt the writing would have been successful. I tried again using a version of twrp found here on a topic of XCnathan32 (twrp3_1_1_4Cores.img) and then doing the twrp3.2.3-1 flash again. Installation completed, but after rebooting the phone still did not start in the new recovery.

I solved by installing twrp-3.2.1-0-fbe-4core-angler (found here https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/bootloop-death-blod-workaround-zip-t3819515) read immediately from the phone and then writing the ROM (July build) and the blood patch. The phone is restarted as usual and the installation is completed correctly. For now it all seems to work properly.

Thank you for availability and courtesy.

No, I only flash the ROM as I always did. is it necessary to flash Gapps too?

is there anything special about this Gapps?

because i prefer minimum package and usually install OpenGapps nano version. will this do the work?

You can try it.

Thank you, I'll try this. Although I tried to flash Gapps I had from January which was based on Pie but surprisingly I encountered an error saying the version is incorrect and I should flash Oreo 8.1 gapps!!

I'll download the latest gapps and give it another try.

Yes, twrp is upgraded. I'm using twrp-3.3.1.0-FBE-angler-working.img from here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/st... TWRP FOR SYSTEM AS ROOT(2019-08-07 ONWARDS)/

Although I don't know what is recovery.img in this folder which I didn't use.

And again I'm using Official release not Nuclear one (what's the difference?)

I'm going to flash this Rom again. thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hsiehboss:
"I encountered an error saying the version is incorrect and I should flash Oreo 8.1 gapps!!"

I encountered this error too,

I upgrade twrp use recover.img in the florder to slove it, but it can not boot to system.

Reboot in to recovery, I find the cache filetype is preset to f2fs.

I reformat cache area to ext4 and reboot to system successfully.

A few days later, I try to boot into recovery but it can not.

I use adb command to flash recovery.img, and it boot into recovery successly.

After I responded to this question to the developer, the developer released a new twrp version(twrp-3.3.1.0-FBE-angler-working.img)

I don't know what is differed.

The step of dirty flash latest ver i think:

1.upgrade twrp use recover.img in the florder.

2.flash latest officeal ver and gapp(but can not boot into system)

3.reformat cache area to ext4, then reboot recovery to confirm if cache area is ext4 type.

4.Reboot to system successly.

5.A few days later, can not boot into recovery.

6.I use adb command to flash recovery.img, and it boot into recovery successly.

7.I responded to this question(cache preset file type) to the developer, the developer released a new twrp version(twrp-3.3.1.0-FBE-angler-working.img.)

8.flash new img in twrp, and no problem until now.

Error flashing BLOD-PATCH

Hi everybody

someone knows something about:

"Unkown ramdisk compression. Aborting ....... Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip' "

Never happened before flashing the BLOD File.

Same error using twrp-3.2.1-0-fbe-4core-angler and twrp-fbe-3.2.3-1

I don't understand what means "Unkown ramdisk compression" error

Tks in advance
[Nexus 6P Android Development] igylan:
Yes, i get that too. I tried Carbon, statix and Crdroid, opengapps and slimgapps. I dont know what's causing it. The only rom that flashed clean in my experience is the Pixel experience rom July build, tried to update to august but i get the error again so revert back to july.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] TaWa82:
Hi, tks for quote

Same goes for me........ In the end, I temporarily solved doing a lots of wipes cache/data to completley clean the phone to clear all sorts of errors + repair system on DATA. New clean ROM flash, new clean blod-patch flash and I no longer found error. I do not know what happened, an error I had never encountered before flashing blod-patch :confused:. However, I switched to the Pixel Experience build of july, I still have to try flashing the August one.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] igylan:
Same here. Dont flash the august build or you will get the same error. Good luck.

P.S. Have yet to try the August plus though.
