This is a fantastic achievement, people, an N6 running cutting-edge firmware. I installed the 5th September version a few days ago and absolutely everything that I use works fine.

The one downside is the battery life, which is noticeably worse than LineageOS Oreo. Today I'm on 31% (down from 32% a few seconds ago... :)) when Oreo would still have been above 50%. Acubattery isn't giving me anything useful to track down the culprit, but does show 100%-55% SOT 49 minutes, and 54%-33% SOT 30 minutes, which I guess works out to around 2.5 SOT overall - not great.

However, I'm sticking with Carbon (my first attempt with it, by the way) because I expect that with the great team behind it it will iron out the few remaining bugs. I signed up knowing that it's a Beta and I didn't expect it to be quite as good as it is, so I'm in no way disappointed, but rather enthusiastic to see where it goes next.

Great job, Myself5 & team. Your work is greatly appreciated.

Substratum theme

What theme are you using?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
I don't know if it's just my device, but I'm unable to set device admin on apps, though puzzlingly Nova Launcher & Find My Phone are activated - maybe I followed a different route? I can change the switch, but on the following screen showing Activate/Cancel/Uninstall the screen is dead and won't accept any input.

Is it just me?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] h.baraary:
Belo, with "Q" icons for settings.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] h.baraary:
What do you mean by "screen is dead"?:-/

Device admin works fine here:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
Thanks for replying.

I mean that I see the screens you show, but when I press any of the blue links nothing happens.

As I said, it may just be my device or a conflict somewhere. I can wait for a new version to see if it persists.

Deception Unsuccessful!!

I just installed this ROM for the first time and it ask for password after installation although I did wipe everything but internal data partition. When I entered my last password it tell password is correct but data corrupt!

Phone shut itself down immediately and went back to recovery! Any help please!

I did Factory Reset and nothing changed!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ajaynsurana:
You need to wipe everything including internal storage. Basically you need to decrypt your phone. It has been discussed several times so please search.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] teamoushy:
Please go back in thread and find how to format your storage.

Note: do full backup
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
The earlier comments are correct. Wiping is not the same as formatting. I know this because it happened to me a few months ago. If TWRP "format data" doesn't work, as it didn't for me ("Can't mount /data"), you can use ADB/Fastboot - "fastboot format userdata".

And obviously back up, back up, back up...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greendragon527:
Hey sorry about that. Swear I put it in the attachments. File is too large for pastebin, so I've put a google drive link.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Pale.Rider:
Someone asked about Project Fi.

I was able to get Project Fi working. I used Open GApps 9.0 mini (10 September 2018).

The Project Fi app has to be installed during initial install, so if it's not in the app package you're using you will have to do it manually - it has to run as "system" - this can't be (to my knowledge) done when installing it from Google Play (I could be wrong - not an expert).

Without the Project Fi app calls/SMS/3G data will work, but no MMS or 4G data - so you def want the app.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] swossie:
I am having the exact same issue on my N6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greendragon527:
Thanks for that confirmation. Mind pasting your logcat too? Between the two of us we can help the devs gather info.

Camera missing

I just installed this rom on my shamu but can not find the camera app. Also, the Vanilla app keeps foreclosing. Please I need your assistance. Many thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greendragon527:
You clean flashed man? Try going back and wiping /data and /system manually, and ensure it's the latest build the dev posted. They recently fixed that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
just FYI, the file in the main link gives file corruption error in twrp 3.2.3 but the file in mirror link works fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
Sounds like a bad download for you, cause the file on the mirror is literally downloaded from the main server.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
I've just noticed that the "swipe from bottom right corner" for the camera on the lock screen isn't there. Is it just me? I don't see a mention in the thread so far.

Edit: The camera works fine. I'm just asking about the shortcut.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] h.baraary:
Settings -› "Fibers" -› "Lock Screen" -› "Lock Screen Shortcuts" -› Set whatever you need for Right and Left shortcut.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
Thanks - I'd missed that. I tried it, and also checked "Also unlock", but it still doesn't open the camera, it first gives me the PIN screen before opening the camera, which defeats the point of the quick camera access. Maybe it's a feature that has been withdrawn from Pie?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] h.baraary:
I don't know this for sure, but from what I can recall, it was always necessary to put the PIN/Pattern ..., But maybe I'm wrong. TBH, I always hated those lockscreen shortcuts and disabled them in the first steps after flashing any ROM :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
No, in previous versions the camera swipe shortcut opened the camera, but any other access, such as the photo gallery, invoked the PIN screen, so the camera was immediately accessible but security was preserved.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rajatkhare:
Hello,

I'm not able to change the battery style inside fiber settings and also not able to use the right and left gestures.

Is it just me or does someone else has this on their device as well?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I'm not able to change the battery style inside fiber settings and also not able to use the right and left gestures.

Is it just me or does someone else has this on their device as well?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
It has already been mentioned that some stuff under [Fibers] settings doesnt work yet including the battery icon tweaks. We need to be patient and wait for the Dev('s) to sort these issues out.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MikeCriggs:
Be patient. A solid base needs to be created and ironed out before features are brought in.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] lolerinc:
If I could share the logs I would. But whatsapp just crashes with no warning. It happens when downloading and uploading some images it doesn't always happens. This wasn't happening in the previous version.

Overall the rom is really good. never had a crash or a random reboot. Keep up the good work guys. I hope you guys can find the issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greendragon527:
For me it happens if I try to download the failed pic again. That's how I triggered my failures to log for them.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rajatkhare:
Sorry if I gave any wrong vibes through my message. I am patient, I just asked if the bug is only on my device or does everybody has this. I know how much hard work these developers put to keep our devices alive and I respect their work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] lolerinc:
I love this rom, seriously this rom has been running way better than lineage, resurection, and that hidden rom from that thread where everyone were comparing the oreo roms. Never crashes or had any problems like that. But had to go back to the august version because of whatsapp(now the images work again). Still a pretty solid rom. The camera has been working fine so far and the battery well I will keep all the battery savers on and the eco mode with exkernel.

:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mackendw:
I was on the Nephilim rom for about a year before coming to carbonrom 7.0 beta....must say it's quite stable. No reboots...not one since flashing it in early aug. Only the battery life is what I'd call the only issue if you can call it that. Many thanks to the devs.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
hope continue update
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iyousif:
Please keep this one alive. There's no more Pie ROMs for Shamu.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
There will be a new update around next week.

We're currently working on completely rebasing the ROM on the latest Pixel 3 tags, which is why everything is a bit delayed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iyousif:
This reply iced my heart. Many thanks and I do really appreciate the hard work! :laugh:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
Happy hear this news , thank for your work
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
New Build

As promised, CARBON-CR-7.0-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-shamu-20181111-2256.zip has been uploaded.

We finished rebasing on top of 9.0.0_r16. That means November Security Patches and we're using the Pixel 3 Tags from now on.

As always, let us know what errors you come across. Unfortunately the buglist in the OP still applies. We're working on encryption at the moment.

Happy Flashing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
I flashed , rebooted , lost mobile signal，maybe is a bug ，hope to fixed。other Pie rom may already fixed this problem。
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
I mean... Literally in the post you quoted it says "unfortunately the buglist in the OP still applies"...

How more specific do I have to be about it?

To my knowledge no other ROM has this fixed, but it happens more sporadic for some people compared to others.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
thanks for reply , sorry for my say , I no other else mean , only hope this rom better than better. I know the way *#*#4636#*#* , and thank you again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] revparadigm:
Running it now. Working great with Franco Kernel, but I did lose mobile data after reboot. Just toggled Airplane mode and it got LTE back.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
once incription and all issues are resolved will this become an official build and supportd more frequently.just wondering.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] iyousif:
Many thanks!!

Can I flash over the previous build or shall I do clean install? Thanks again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Arju:
As it is a rebase you should do a clean flash.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] yhwh111:
Has anybody keeps getting the play services FC????
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] h.baraary:
Clean flashed with Aroma GApps, not a single fc.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] yhwh111:
Tried aroma and gave me an error so I tried the micro gapss and so far no fcs. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ostrolk:
Can I do the following to flash the ROM in N6, after restarting in the bootoader mode?

1) fastboot devices

2) fastboot format userdata

3) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then reboot the bootloader without booting the phone, move to recovery and start it? Would TWRP start then? If TWRP starts up, then the phone will be seen by the computer and the internal storage would be seen. Then I can copy the ROM, gapps, root to the internal storage and flash them.

I haven't bought the N6 yet. Thinking of buying one.

Anyone?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greendragon527:
Massive thanks for this! Dirty flashed and completely fixed my Whatsapp issue. No issues so far. :D:good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
hope happy
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dr1445:
hi; just a 73 yr old user here. i see the shamu needs to be decrypted. while learning to install 15.1 i had to format, so i did a advanced wipe, without the sdcard and then format. i found twrp to be intact and backups preserved. then i plug my phone into the my linux pc, open , then drag and drop the rom and gapps from the pc to twrp and flash. note, my shamu does not see otg if i plug in a flash drive. will this work for carbon?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
The Format is whats needed, yes. TWRP will also stay intact, however backups, which are stored on your internal storage will be deleted. If you came from 15.1 there is a small chance you never were encryted though. What you could try is to backup your data to the PC, then flash the ROM (wipe data of cause) and see if it works. If it does, everything is good. If it doesn't (it would ask you for a PIN and then tell you your data is corrupt) just go to TWRP and format data including the internal storage (Don't wipe it, press the "Format Data" button and enter "yes").
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dr1445:
great and many thanks. one more question, the nandroid backups in twrp are not wiped clean. if i have a problem i can always restore a nandroid backup?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
You can restore the nandroid backups, but if you click the format data button i described they will be wiped, so better backup the TWRP folder on your internal storage as that is where the backups are stored.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dr1445:
ok, i will try to backup the internal storage to the pc.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zzenyoo:
TWRP + copy of internal storage to your PC (when you are in TWRP mode).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dr1445:
been out getting the dreaded colonoscopy. i find in twrp sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/ZX1 etc. is that the one i need to copy to the pc.? i gave up on making assumptions. thanks for your time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zzenyoo:
This is your TWRP copy (everything except internal memory 'cos TWRP can't backup internal) When you are in TWRP mode connect your phone to PC and than from your PC copy all sdcard(internal storage with TWRP backup included) to computer. Now everything from your phone is on computer hard drive.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dr1445:
got it, i will give it a go.

1ddded0e26af2c2b3fa8226b51f410dc CARBON-CR-7.0-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-shamu-20181218-2356

December ASB (android-9.0.0_r21)

New features

a secret preview of something new everyone will notice

unfortunately still the same device bugs but we're working on it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
I have flashed，very nice，thank you
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ardonhs:
I flash it and I can't pass the check for updates setup screen
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
Thats a GApps issue. Try some other GApps.

For everyone: I just uploaded CARBON-CR-7.0-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-shamu-20181222-1404. Encryption is now working, thanks to the Lineage Maintainers.

Other than that this build has a small improvement for battery information and includes the Font chooser as seen in CR-6.1.

EDIT: ok so encryption worked for me when I tested it and I used that exact build. However, now that i restarted a few times it doesn't work anymore again. So: DO NOT USE ENCRYPTION WITHOUT A BACKUP JUST YET. I'll look into this tomorrow.

Happy Flashing and Merry Christmas to those that celebrate it :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] DXist:
Flashed this image. Everything is ok except camera is not working. Open camera About says that No. of cameras is 0.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
I have the same problem，“相机故障，无法连接到相机”
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
The DU team found a fix for the SELinux in permissive. Not sure if you knew or already have a solution in the works for Carbon.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
I flashed google camera，with some Kernel，it will point “camera error ，can't connect device”，I compare carbon1218，and delete delete_recursive("/system/vendor/bin/hw/android.hardware.camera.provider@2.4-service");

delete_recursive("/system/vendor/etc/init/android.hardware.camera.provider@2.4-service.rc");

this 2 files ，the problem fixed
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Starting qseecomd even earlier in the init phase does seem to do the trick. We can do that because we mount system early too.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] vsoma:
Do you mind sharing some screenshots?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] shassouneh:
Pardon the noob question here, and yes I searched both this thread, XDA, and Google but couldn't find the answer.

How do I turn on (and/or) use Split Screen / Multi Window? Normally on other ROMs such as stock and/or Lineage, I just hold down the right square button (recent apps).

I also looked extensively in settings, and in CarbonFibers but couldn't find any way to turn this on.

Thanks!

Never mind, It's a stupid new "feature" of Pie.

For those interested, check these instructions out
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] shassouneh:
Everything seems to work except the camera. (Even cellular connections appear to work on their own upon reboot)

OpenCamera says It cannot open due to "some other application" using the camera.

Google Camera just crashes silently to home screen.

"Camera for Android" says "can't connect to the camera".

Whatsapp says "Can't start camera, please restart your phone"

I did make sure all these apps have been granted access to the camera and files / media storage.

Any idea how to fix this? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greenjongreenjon:
Signature spoofing? (for MicroG)

Hi, does this ROM support signature spoofing?

I want to switch to a v9 ROM but I need to use MicroG which requires signature spoofing.

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
It does not. I just checked with MicroG. Apparently CarbonROM is suppose to support native signature spoofing but that may be a per device/maintainer thing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
It's not a device/maintainer thing, but CR-7.0 just doesn't support signature spoofing yet. It's on our ToDo list though.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
does incription work or does device need to be decripted in order to flash the rom.for various reasons i dont want to decript if i dont have to.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jkdrinkard:
It's being worked on but no not currently working so you must decrypt to use this ROM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I fixed it for LineageOS some weeks ago. [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] just needs to cherry-pick the changes I made.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
Yup. Planning to eventually get back to shamu this week, prepare for stupid questions on Slack :P
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zilaj:
[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] Is it possible/supported to install Franco Kernel r77 for this ROM on N6?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
As Carbonrom uses my (LineageOS's) kernel for shamu I can answer your question.

NO, it's not possible and also franco kernel is outdated. Use the the stock kernel coming with the ROM - otherwise you won't have the superior power hal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] hasitCN:
Very looking forward to your work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Myself5:
Just finished uploading CARBON-CR-7.0-TBA-UNOFFICIAL-shamu-20190130-2137. Thanks to the recent changes from Lineage (mainly [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION]) SELinux is running enforcing now. Encryption is fixed, and the mobile data issues at boot are gone too (I did experience that it takes around a minute until you get any signal, but that always has been an issue with my SIM, so it will probably be fine for you).

Also this build has the long promised signature spoofing commits for microG merged.

I updated the bug list in the OP with the only remaining issue, which is the sometimes dissapearing camera. I haven't had it on my last 3 builds, but that test data is not enough to say it's fine just yet. If you encounter any other bugs, let me know.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cujo6801:
Thanks....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] swear0730:
Best thing to happen all week. Maybe this year! Thanks [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION]!

Now if we can just get the weather above 0 (farenheit) today it would be great!

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 AM ----------

Flashed newest Carbon ROM by first doing a full wipe on a Factory 7.1 ROM which was encrypted. Flashed Carbon, GApps, and then Magist v18.0. When I rebooted I was asked for my PIN, but I didn't have any unlock set before the flash. I entered a random 4 digit PIN and it said that the decryption was unsuccessful.

Where did I go wrong?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Phrodini:
Might mean you have to decrypt your phone,format , erasing everything... download the files to flash on a different device and after the format you can flash and not get the password error...I might be off tho
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cujo6801:
Soooooooo.

how's everybody liking it so far?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BhosxTris:
It is the first pie rom working rom on nexus6 back in August 2017? Can i ask why this is unofficial and at beta state??? Sorry for my confusion about this.. i feel its looks great to try... I'm @ android 8.1 and it feels pushing me to try a android pie... Does it have a always on display?

---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 AM ----------

Wow your so very knowledgeable about this great work. Amazing.:victory: can i ask why nexus 6 linux kernel stays on v3.10.x??? Is there any way to update that? Sorry i don't have any knowledge for that.. just wondering....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Well in theory upgrading to a newer kernel could be possible, but it's just not worth the time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BhosxTris:
It is the latest google cam on 7.1.1? :confused: downloaded already and ready to rock!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BhosxTris:
This rom is so amazing! Runs smooth.. fast.. and it's stable... Well i just saw something every time i reboot. Is this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BhosxTris:
Can i suggest?. It is possible to have like this overview panel? With a google search bar??? I see almost aosp 9.0 based rom wasn't have a search bar... plsss thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] greendragon527:
You can do this yourself by downloading a custom launcher. Google lawnchair and lawnstep
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BhosxTris:
I tried it now. But it seems buggy.. at all..

Waiting for stable version.. thanks again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
magisk..

version 18.1 does not appear to work.. no magisk icon.. no app populating applications to remove/modify..

version 16.7 does not appear to work.. no magisk icon.. no app populating applications to remove/modify..

clock bug..

when you disable the clock via carbon settings it reappears in the status bar when using microsoft launcher and perhaps others..

would seem to me dev on this rom has a long way to go with considerable time required to achieve any level of reliability.. with how quickly dev world moves forward.. would guess this is going to end up abandon and rightfully so.. moto g7 comes out soon.. might be time to retire the n6 for all..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] barnettejd:
Wow, that's some gratitude! Maybe what you meant to say was, "Many thanks to the dev for the endless hours of labor he has spent in order to provide us with this free ROM."
