My installation procedure:

1) WIPE WIPE WIPE, everything and it's mother

2) ADB push:

- statix_angler-20181014-1210-9-v2.0-OFFICIAL.zip

- SimpleGappsMini-arm64-9.x.x-official-Oct2018.zip

- recovery.img (should this be version 3.2.3-1?)

- N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

3) Flash rom zip & simple gapps zip.

4) Flash recovery.img to recovery.

5) Attempt BLOD patch. <-- tried with and without this step.

6) Wipe internal memory.

7) Reboot.

8) Wait. Wait. Wait some more.

Based on what I've read, this seems to be the correct line of events. Please let me know if I'm missing something here. I, like a few who already mentioned, am getting stuck at the loading screen with the G and bar right below it. Not sure if I am affected by the core issue, but I've also tried with that patch to no avail.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Is this still hosted somewhere? (9/29 build) I'd like to try it and see if I'm chasing my tail with this new 10/14 release.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dracinn:
After install backup any important data and wipe internal storage.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] manish_bhaumik:
Any chance you applied the BLOD fix without actually needing it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ZedAz:
Nope. ROM, Gapps and Magisk.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] glockman4519:
Going to try this beast if a rom out. Thank you [MENTION=5980525]Jert[/MENTION]lock and all else involved for keeping this devices up to date.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
You need to flash the recovery linked to in the OP first, reboot into recovery, wipe everything, flash ROM and GAPPS, FORMAT data, then reboot into system. Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JesseK:
should this be version 3.2.3-1? Or something else?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dracinn:
Yes, you need to use the recovery pinned in the Telegram group.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
FORMAT DATA, not WIPE DATA

This might help a bunch of you if you are stuck on the Google logo after your install. THe screenshot shows the WIPE menu. You do not Wipe Data. Instead, press the FORMAT DATA button and say yes to the prompt. Hopefully, a picture will help with this part. Oh, how do I know this? Because I did the same dumb thing! Haha...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clumsyoxygen:
Terminal Rules All

I had a mount error with storage and didn't realize it on my first attempt, which I think a lot of people are overlooking the error and rebooting thinking they did format. I was wondering why I was having errors when I did format my data. On my second attempt, I noticed the mount error.

From my perspective, it would be best to force people to use

fastboot -w

because they would have to reboot into bootloader after installation. Either dismount and mount again or just boot straight into bootloader post-flash.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ssenbonzakura:
Coming from a Note 4 to the 6P. First rom in 2 years, and this thing flies. No issues so far, everything works. Thanks for your work Jertlok
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JesseK:
smh. SMHing so hard my neck is about to snap!

Every time I read where someone explained to "type YES" to format data, I assumed I was doing something wrong but didn't really look into it. SMGDH

I'm finally in the OS. Going to rewrite my instructions for installation so hopefully I can save someone else ~12 hours of messing around.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] squidblaster:
Ahh I missed the wipe all internal storage part, and adb push. Thought it was optional for some dumb reason . I'll still wait because data is hit or miss with my 3 year old USB c port.

Thanks all for responses :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mohsin.android:
Thanks, it was something related to download limit.

Successfully download after 3-4 hours.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JesseK:
My installation procedure, start to finish.

Prerequisite: TWRP. (I used WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.9 to return to ANGLER-ANGLER: Android 7.0.0 - Build: NRD90U, then used the same kit to install root+ TWRP)

* Once stock, rooted, TWRP installed (WugFresh toolkit does all this)

1) Boot TWRP. (when asked, make sure to SWIPE to allow MODIFICATIONS)

2) Move recovery.img to device --> Install --> Install Image --> recovery.img --> Partion: Recovery

--- 2b) Reboot recovery (should be version 3.2.3-1 when done)

3) Return to TWRP main menu which displays 3.2.3-1 in the top blue header

4) Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Select EVERYTHING!

5) Move files to device: (with WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit, use Advanced Utilites --> Push/Pull, target: /sdcard)

- statix_angler-20181014-1210-9-v2.0-OFFICIAL.zip OR newer from DL folder

- SimpleGappsMini-arm64-9.x.x-official-Oct2018.zip OR OpenGapps arm64 9.0 or other packs.

*** IF NEEDED *** - N5X-6P_BLOD_Workaround_Injector_Addon-AK2-signed.zip

6) Select "Install"

---3a) Select ROM zip first

---3b) Select Add more Zips, and choose your preferred GApps zip

*** If needed, add BLOD zip here ***

---3c) Swipe to confirm flash

7) VERY IMPORTANT: Wipe internal memory.

* From TWRP main menu:

--- Select Wipe, then "FORMAT DATA", type "yes".

--- If you format data a different way and don't have to type "yes", you did it wrong!

--- If you receive "Failed to mount '/data' (Device or resource busy)" etc etc, reboot to recovery again, then repeat step 6 from the beginning.

--- Once "...done" is displayed, reboot to system.

8) Install TWRP app? I'd choose "DO NOT INSTALL", since we are using this custom TWRP and updating might create problems.

9) Reboot.

--- If it hangs on G screen, reboot again (hold power button). "Hi there" should come up within 30 seconds after 2nd reboot in my experience.

--- If plugged in you should also see a blue LED. If in a loading loop I don't believe it lights up since it's hung.

10) PIE!

Hope this helps someone! I spent half a day working on this!

Personal Working List of Problems

Wi-Fi Assistant working just fine on Project Fi

Apps that modify the notification light (LightFlow and/or Light Manager) not working as intended

Going to contact app developer soon...​
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Audioffensive:
Is the wifi disconnecting issue while dozing still present in the latest release?

Was the main reason for switching back to 8.1 for me. Drained battery too much.

Edit: nevermind. I read the OP again and saw it now.

Will test this for sure again now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mhammadakkad:
After 2 days of testing i noticed my phone is not dozing at all, losing 20% of battery during night, did i mis something?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sthbr82:
Disabling Always On display to off eases on the battery. Plus I have enabled "Aggressive dozing" in Greenify. So only 10% battery drain overnight for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 3c:
I used XpressVPN and it worked ok, except that it disconnect very often. Once or twice a day I have to manually reconnect it. On 8.1 it works much better, so there might be something there, maybe doze is creating issues, haven't bothered excluding the app on either 8.1 or 9.0.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JesseK:
Am I blind, or is there a place you can enable AM/PM in the status bar for the time? Not overly necessary, but it seems off without it. lol.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] KaSrAHiDe:
Really want to flash it ...

But before doing it, Is the battery drain too much?

And is it necessary after flashing recovery , installing BLOD too ? (On N6p)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] spyke1999:
The battery drain isn't bad only around 10% to 20% a night depending on settings you don't have to flash the blod unless your device is experiencing the blod problem with the big 4 cores
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abhyuzzz:
After installing this latest build ,it was so smooth than before. But there is a bug while taking the screenshot.

Its not capturing the whole screen.pls do fix this in the next update :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DJ_Sample:
2 issues

2 things

netflix doesnt play video, audio and everything runs but no video

aswell as i install the patcher and it pretty much put me in a boot loop where it keeps sending me back twrp.

if there is a simple way of fixing fantastic. other then that the rom is outstanding compared to the beta very stable and didnt have a problem till the netflix issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JesseK:
I am not having the issue you describe.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abhyuzzz:
I changed the resolution to 1080p.Is it because of that the screen shot is having a problem?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] squidblaster:
Pie :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] simarguram:
yes. Also if they dont have a pc in hand at the moment and face the format error. they can just reboot to recovery and try Format Data again and just reboot after that. it will work.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

have u lowered the resolution of display from 2k to 1080p? its bcoz of that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aircraft800:
Crap, I can get everything flashed and to start, and then install my apps and stuff. When I reboot to TWRP to install zip, the Downloads folder is all scrambled, I can't find any file name I downloaded (Decripted?) I tried to wipe everything and format again, installed recovery, BLOD, ROM, Gapps, Format, it starts like normal, reboot to TWRP, everything in Downloads folder is scrambled again! WTF...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hsiehboss:
Same too,

All folder in internal storage is all scrambled.

If you find a solution, please let me know. Thank you

Hello friends,

I would like to know how to install the pixel launcher and google camera version 6.1 with the features of pixel 3.

I installed the open gaaps stock android 9.0, and the launcher pixel that came across I found weak. I upgraded the camera to version 6.1 and portrait mode is not available.

Need to install the camera via root to enable the features?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Swordsman001:
Hotspot error

My 6p crashes when i try to turn on 5ghz hotspot. Is there any fix for that?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aircraft800:
Yes, Me too.

I noticed if I boot to TWRP more than once, it forgets to ask me for my password. It seems to always ask for my password after the first boot and decript the external storage, but when I went back to install Majisk it didn't ask and the files were all scrambled.

It sounds like TWRP is the issue, hopefully it can be fixed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aureljared:
You might be using the wrong version of TWRP. Are you using the version with FBE support?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rafael.rm.moreira:
HDR mode does not work on google camera? I installed other versions of the camera and continue without the HDR feature, nor the Portrait mode.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hsiehboss:
I use the version that download from offical StatiXOS web.

The twrp just remember pin code once。

If reboot into twrp again,twrp seem to return default setting.and the internal storage folder name become scramble .

[Nexus 6P Android Development] jeddy877:
I had that issue with my files all encrypted when I would have to use a type C OTG and install everything from there. I also had severe lag and no VOLTE. No could call me. Text worked back and forth no problem and I could call out fine. I found a solution for both. First the encrypted files in TWRP. I found that the password it was asking for when I would sign open TWRP every time was just my lock screen code. That simple. After I entered it, it decrypted everything. Second for the lagging and no VOLTE... I simple wiped everything the old fashioned way after the initial setup suggested by this great developer ( thank you so much for your hard work ). Go into TWRP. Select Wipe. Check boxes for everything except Internal Storage. Then just swipe to wipe. Go back to the TWRP main screen. Select Install. Select the Pie ROM and Gapps files. See to flash. Once flashed, can tap the Wipe Cache button on the bottom left. Reboot system. Phone flies. Everything works but the camera and flash but I think the developer stated that he would fix the camera/flash in the builds to follow. Also if you flash the Magisk zip, and it doesn't matter which one, you will have to install the Magisk Manager apk ( I used the 6.0 version ) to get the app to show in your app drawer. Hopefully this helps.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tymotey:
After 3 days of usage i like the ROM!

I have a few problems:

- my camera preview is not fluent, is slugish

- switching from app to app is a bit slugish, i have to waitttt(i saw this happening in whatsapp and google sms app)

- over all it looks like is a bit of battery drain
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Profetorum:
I have BLOD issue with the first boot, the BLOD fix doesn't fix it. What can i do?

EDIT: now it works, i don't know what's the problem there
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sthbr82:
Yeah, when screen is on I noticed battery drains a bit faster. Dozing seems to ok.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ScOULaris:
Yep, same in my experience. Idle drain is same as stock. Screen-on drain is faster.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wyv3rnn:
I don't think so, I'm on the same ROM too. Maybe something else is causing your issue?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Bobbysz:
Camera NX works pretty much ok.

I got stock apps and circle icons by downloading unofficial 9.0 Gapps
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zooyork8998:
pretty much figured it out as its stock i cant use the free hotspot i have to pay $20 :o woopsie
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dracinn:
You can edit your build.prop to get to get tethering just add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zooyork8998:

Ok so i got magisk working but none of the modules work
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alek889:
Guys,cant receive calls.I can make calls but not receive them.Anyone had this issue too?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zooyork8998:
Havent tried it personally.

just wipe everything but internals and do a fresh install, dont use a boot up protection pin or password when setting up. after install try installing the magisk manager and then using magisks latest experimental zip. everything should work, im currently running magisk 16.7 which has the latest experimental and andriod pie support.

[MENTION=4723245]Jertlok[/MENTION] , this post for you.

Bugs in build from 08/22/2018. I make this list using all reply's on this thread

1) default Phone application

2) SafetyNet (SeLinux and userdebug)

3) stock camera

4) crashing Pixel Launcher (?)

5) connection to hidden Wifi by entering the SSID manually (?)

6) proxy when connection WiFi (?)

7) sRGB mode is not working

8) Sometime freezes notfication sounds. (?)

9) wifi "add network" doesnt work

10) noticed sometimes wifi gets disconnected when phone is in sleep mode.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zooyork8998:
pixel launcher crashing happens when i change the build.prop properties. i tried adding the noprovision to the tether but it didnt work and the launcher would bug out if left a space or changed the number of lines in the file. default phone application you just have to re-click the phone in defaults but still tedious.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
Can you please tell me which Pixel Launcher are you using?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] saytann:
DELETED
[Nexus 6P Android Development] videotape74:
A couple of more things I've noticed that will have me hold off until the next release...

16% battery drain overnight.

Cannot load default Gmail account into the app, says the account is already in use on the phone but it doesn't show up in Gmail app.

Other than those issues already stated...fantastic ROM!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zooyork8998:
the launcher that is in the full stock 9.0 unofficial gapps
[Nexus 6P Android Development] fuadhdmini:
Dayum. Really tempting. But I'll wait for next build
[Nexus 6P Android Development] alek889:
Can someone confirm phone cant receive calls,please?

(I have magisk working with viper module.)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
I am running an internal test with the new build, actually I don't have those modules but I don't think they affect incoming calls.

_

I have an update regarding the hidden WiFi APs, in order to connect to them you need to set that your network is hidden while you add a new network - you can find this option under the Advanced tab.

Q&A updated with this solution.

- UPDATE 16:28 CET -

I can receive calls without any issues, did you follow second post Q&A?

By the way, I have a new build and I am testing it out but is still not officially signed and SELinux is still enforced.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Zwillmaster1:
Thank you i didnt need to wipe i just flashed the 16.7 zip and my modules are working now ...everything seems to be working to my liking niw except sgrb witch ia fine because i know thats just a bug with the rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rafael.rm.moreira:
Is hdr mode working for you?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] squidblaster:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] JesseK:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aircraft800:
Yes, I'm using the custom recovery.img from the OP with FBE support.

Can someone test and see if they can reboot to recovery and reboot to system a few times? I can get it to work once, then after that I can't boot to system anymore, it automatically boots to recovery and the files are encrypted.

I was hoping to find another custom recovery like twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.86_op6.img and try it, but I don't see one for the Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] eradicator006:
Since installing the latest build I've been in and out of recovery a dozen times and have never had an issue being able to boot back in to system.

Recovery Date

Have you done a backup? Mine was dated 1969 :laugh:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clumsyoxygen:
Camera, VoLTE, Wi-Fi Hotspot, and VPN

Nope. Haven't used the camera since just recently. I've attached my logcat in case it was needed.

I haven't been on LTE or VoLTE since I've flashed the ROM. I've been on IWLAN, which I thought was the workaround. Could you verify you are on LTE?

I got my camera flash to work. Flashlight works too. Just no HDR.

Confirmed. 5 GHz Wi-Fi hotspot causes problems. I tried just 2.4 GHz and it worked, and then to enable both frequencies. When both are selected, it defaults to only 5 GHz, and it requires a restart. I've attached my logcat in case it was needed (not sure if I was able to capture what was causing it to crash)

My rule of thumb: clean flash = with PC; dirty flash = OTG. When clean flashing, the PC alleviates any issues you might come across.

I can't even get it to configure my VPN correctly. How were you able to go through the setup process?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Marced for Life:

Hi, i was in the same problem and i fixed formating with fastboot (fastboot format userdata) then i flash the recovery of the post also with fastboot (fastboot flash recovery) and then go to recovery, put the zip files on the phone and make the common install process, factory reset with twrp and finally bots in to system
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hsiehboss:
Thank you,

The installation is successful, there is no trwp login problem yet.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SKUK:
Just when I'm writing what a fantastic ROM this is, the system completely freezes.

I was not able to enter settings anymore (only blank screen). I was still able to close the settings screen once, but after reopening settings it gave a blank screen again and froze. Tried closing all apps ( spotify, WhatsApp and xda). But this was not possible anymore. Tried rebooting for 5 minutes. No succes. After pressing the on/off button for more then 1 minute the system started rebooting.

I had some minor issues with the quickstep launcher before. It crashed one time. Furthermore no issues.

I followed the complete installation instructions to the letter. Did not install blodfix. All cores are working fine.

Anyone else have similar issues?

Can this be related to quickstep launcher?

Edit: Just read on line quickstep crashes a lot on different systems. According to some people this has to do with gestures. Any ideas?

For now I turned gestures of and see what will happen.

Hello. I installed this rom, everything works great if I am at home on WIFI. Problem is when I go out of the house to go to work, or whever there is no 4g data at all, no data of anything kind. I went back to stock 8.1 after this, and have lte again. How can I fix this? I really like this rom.

Chris
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Aircraft800:
Thanks brother!

I figured it out seeing that post and what the others here were doing.

MUST DO THIS THROUGH FASTBOOT

fastboot -w

Doing the FORMAT DATA and YES in TWRP was successful, but after second boot was not asking for password and everything in my Storage was encrypted.

I’ve rebooted multiple times into TWRP recovery and restarted System, all good now!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Melmi36:
Amazing rom! Appreciate all the devs and team's hard work on this rom! I'm having problem where the dialer is not showing the pop up that shows to pick up calls. I've been using my smartwatch to do so. Is there a fix and is there anyone else experience that?
