I just bought this device today , I tried this ROM and it's working fine thanks , dev
[Nexus 6P Android Development] larryxw:
,

I'm stuck in boot animation as well. I followed the OP instructions with clean flash: flashed recovery image, flashed ROM and GApps, formatted data, and reboot system. ANd now it won't reboot into bootloader mode. I need help.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JoeBruin32:
So for a layman, is this fix something where you could say, "Don't worry about it, it works now"? Or is the phone gimped in some way by having IMS services (whatever that is..) removed?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] larryxw:
Nevermind. I was able to solve it!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tasneem khan:
How...?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] JoeBruin32:
When I try to install the amazon app store apk, it fails saying the Package installer keeps stopping. Here's a log

Edit: I did another clean reflash and that fixed it, for whatever reason
[Nexus 6P Android Development] manish_bhaumik:
This may be a juvenile request, but with the new encryption etc in this ROM, perhaps someone will be kind enough to share simple steps to install this ROM over the already encrypted by default stock Oreo OS. Thanks in advance. I read the first post, but I was not sure if it had the complete info.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jigsawcrank:
Still have cpu 4-7 stopped, even after flashing BLOD fix. Any idea whats going on?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] kantjer:
Do you have any idea what the BLOD fix is?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CapnKitten:
The BLOD fix disables the 4 performance cores.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] 99percent6:
I use Magisk v.17.1 and ctsProfile is false.

I tried to install universal safetynet fix, but it doesn't help.

How you fix it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mslatter:
You could try 17.2. I could not get Samsung pay to work yesterday on Oreo with 17.1 however 17.2 got it fixed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
Don't worry about it.

It's the IP Multimedia Subsystem and it's used by carriers for providing VoLTE for instance, or video calls.

Flashing Instructions for clean flash for new users:

1. Grab our recovery from the download section and install it:

a) via fastboot: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

b) or via TWRP: Install Zip > Install Image > Choose ‘recovery.img’ > Select partition ‘Recovery’ > Swipe to confirm flash.

2. Go to Recovery and do the usual wipes for clean install:

- Wipe > Advance Wipe > Select System, Data, Cache, Dalvik.

- Swipe to Wipe those.

3. Install the official ROM, GApps.

4. Then FORMAT your internal data partition:

a) via fastboot: fastboot -w

b) or via TWRP: Wipe" > "Format Data" > Type 'yes' in order to format your internal storage; this will erase all your stored files, backup if you wish to.

5. Reboot into system and wait until the process finishes, it could take a little bit. After the installation is done I suggest waiting before using the phone because it usually goes into thermal throttling after installing a ROM.

(Existing FBE users who have already installed October build are not required to clean flash every time they are flashing a new build. And also, no need to re-format data eveytime).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jigsawcrank:
sorry, git it wrong then. Is there a way to get all 8 cores working with this rom?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Tymotey:
Nice rom so far!

I jut finished installing it and apps are still sync :))

I've been waiting for and Android P release!

So far i see 2 things:

- that my Spark experience menus: Miscellaneous and Naviagation are empty(no data there)

- navigation is still the old one(3 dots). i saw the bar once(after the rom was first booted) then it went away. how can i get it back? :)

Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
I would say read the first thread, but today I feel good.

Download all the necessary files;

Backup your files somewhere;

Reboot into TWRP;

Go under Wipe > Advanced Wipe and choose everything except for Internal storage (just to be clear: Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Cache);

Go under Install Zip and choose the statix ROM zip, then press on Add more Zips and choose the GApps package you prefer - at this point you can Swipe to confirm Flash;

Go back Install Zip > Install Image and choose the recovery.img (you can find it in the download section);

If you have a semi-working phone (affected by Bootlop of Death - big clusters dead := 4 big cores dead), you need to flash the BLOD patch (which you can find it under DL section) - this zip will patch both recovery and kernel in order to make it working with your faulty Nexus 6P;

Go inside Wipe > Format Data > type 'yes' and press on the confirm button (the blue / enter button).

And that's it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
Unfortunately it's a hardware fault, there is no software fix except for shutting the big cores in order to make the phone working.

Sparks menu is still Work In Progress;

In order to activate the new navigation bar go under

Settings > Gestures > Swipe up on Home button > turn it on.​
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
From changelog in OP:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] simarguram:
Are u a BLOD user .. If yes , then there is no way.

If no, and u flashed BLOD patch. Then start fresh again. Reflash the recovery and wipe everything and start again.

Also after bootup. Let the device cool down for 30 mins .. Sometimes it goes to thermal throttling . after that check if all d cores are working .

How can i add Googel feed when swipping to left on main screen?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Nevuly:
Can you give me a commit about this?

I want to fix VoLTE in my N5X too :(

Nexus 5X & 6P with VoLTE is really long times to enable it...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
If I had a magic commit I wouldn't have disabled the IMS services entirely.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rowdyruffbrick:
Installed successfully, rom works great! Thanks op! But for some weird reason my pixel launcher dock is bouncing up and down as if it's telling me to swipe up to see the rest of my apps. But it happens every time I unlock my phone again. Anyone knows how to fix this? Cleared app cache but same result.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
Yeah, that's AOSP behaviour. Should stop at some point. Blame Goooooogle :D
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rowdyruffbrick:
Alright hopefully it stops soon. Thanks OP!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jigsawcrank:
is anyone experiencing issues with Titanium Backup. I've tried multiple version and it just won't launch (fc). The main error is "could not open database". Any idea?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Jertlok:
Can you please pull a logcat? This might be related to SELinux.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Titanium backup works okay with me. Clean install and all, used opengapps.

How's the battery life been during ur usage , SOT I mean?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] David_UK:
For me SOT is quite bad, But my battery has always been poor from when i bought it a few years back.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sjandroiddeveloper:
Well on Oreo ABC it's not particularly great for me either at 2-2.5 hours(It was like > 4 hours when I bought the phone 3 years ago, never replaced the battery) . Is it worse then 2-2.5 hours ?coz I can't manage less than that?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Clom801:
Twrp not accessible

Hi, followed directions, would not finish booting. Went back to start over and cannot access my internal storage on twrp. Any fix for this? I am on a BLOD device. Thanks for your help in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
You really go off of a ROM being installed for 16 hours as a proper gauge to how the battery life will preform? Lol
[Nexus 6P Android Development] cozykb:
I'm new to everything. I followed all the steps and installed this ROM. Very happy with everything but the pixel launcher 9 doesn't start. It keeps crashing. I then installed rootless pixel launcher by amirzaidi but in that I'm not able to install rootless pixel bridge. I'm total noob. Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Try to Switch to desktop view, , other wise, and you HAD to have already known this, try a few different browsers.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sthbr82:
ROM's perfect, everything works great.

Only small quirk is that when display transitions from dark to light theme or vice versa, some notifications get stuck white background with white text or vice versa. However this is just a cosmetic issue. ROM is fluid, quick and very responsive. Thanks for the update.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] simarguram:
having a working pixel launcher with the new gestures is a bit excessive workaround. you can install Lawnchair launcher + flash Lawnstep zip file, available in their telegram channel. its easy. has more features and will hopefully your pixel launcher needs.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

after u change the theme from white to dark or vice versa. just reboot the device and it will fix this issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
Rootless Launcher, which is made by the the talented Amir Zaidi, as well as Lean Launcher are also amazing launchers based off the Pixel Launcher. Especially Rootless, I used multiple Pixel based launchers by Amir Zaidi, tbh, his stuff is better than the official.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] larryxw:
I was able to boot into bootloader and use the fastboot commands, following the OP instructions.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] simarguram:
yes. always used his launcher in Oreo. preferred it more than official pixel launcher.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] evrk:
Today I flashed this rom and it works great.

I haven't encountered any issue until now.

It's sluggish though and doesn't feel very snappy and smooth. I hope this will be improved in the future.

I take smoothness and snappiness over any extra feature any day.

I'm looking forward to the next builds.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] omarblu:
How to test if all cores are working correctly?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] omarblu:
Battery probably dead as draining quite bad.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CapnKitten:
If you haven't flashed the BLOD fix zip file, all cores should be working. You can download CPU-Z from the play store to check though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] AzraelsKiss:
Let the ROM settle in for a while. It'll become more responsive and snappy after a bit. Have a good one!

So I have a unique problem. After flashing the 10-14-2018 ROM, I have a touch sensitivity issue in one application. I am adding my G Suite account (as a sole proprietor for my business) which opens Google Apps Device Policy. When I try to select the "activate" the device admin app, it won't respond. That's a problem because then I cannot connect to all of my G Suite apps such as Google Voice, Gmail etc. Anybody have advice please.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soopafly Incredible:

My regular carrier voicemail will work.

If you have Smart Pixels enabled, try disabling it. Overlays can interfere with interacting with buttons and such in some apps. If Smart Pixels isn't the culprit, you may want to disable other apps that display over other apps until you find the offender. Good luck! Have a good one!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CapnKitten:
Netflix requires L1. There's a magisk module, liboemcrypto disabler, you can install to workaround it, but I've read that it's only 480p. Haven't tested it myself though.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
I just tried TiBu, and it is working fine. It detected BusyBox and Magisk, and starts just fine. No fc, backups work fine. Have not restored anything yet...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] larryxw:
That did the trick - disabling Smart Pixels. Thanks for the help!!

[Nexus 6P Android Development] hsiehboss:
After refreshing the customized TWRP and successfully installing the system, the first few system reboots seem to be fine.

But I don't know why my phone reboot automatically log in to TWRP after the system restarts last time.

When booting to TWRP, all settings are reset to the TWRP standard - it seems that TWRP does not remember the security password. Then, the folder name in the internal storge is garbled and cannot be booted to the system again.

Now I reinstall the previous version.

Thanks so much for sharing and simplifying everything. Of course thanks for your (and your team's) efforts on the ROM. I am about to do a battery replacement. As long as I dont wreck my phone, flashing this ROM is the first thing I will do.

Which version of bootloader and radio images should be flashed ? The latest ones from Oreo ?

Yes. No issue here with bootloader 03.79 + radio 03.87.

Ok I have smoothness and rensposivness problems , it's very laggy even though I did a clean flash. Maybe I should reinstall the rom.

Stuck at the white screen with the new Google Logo

Hello anyone can help me?

I'm stuck at the "starting screen" (White screen with the Google Logo). I've installed everything (GApps included), but i'm actually stuck after the "new animation of Android 9". It's seems like infinite loading with the material progress bar and nothing happens like "first start configuration" or something like that.

I'm waiting since 15 minutes on that screen.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] clumsyoxygen:
Multiple Responses

I've noticed similar issues, but have chalked it to initial release and was to be expected on BLOD.

Did you wipe your internal storage after you flashed the ROM and GApps?

This is not an answer. I've read some posts from other members stating that they've been able to re-enable the other cores. I just can't seem to find those posts off-hand at the moment. So, if there was a way to see if BLOD patch is still necessary would be nice.

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 AM ----------

I was unable to wipe the internal storage on my device post-flash and had to reboot to the bootloader to use

fastboot -w

Try and see if that helps. Unfortunately, you might need to start over from scratch in the process since TWRP might not be able to decrypt your data.

High android version for old devices isn't compatible with games?

Prior to nexus 6p, I own a lg e975 with stock 4.4. When I upgrade to android 7, other tasks go smoothly but when I play games it seems to be very lag. And with my now Nexus 6p with android 8.0 the issue continues to happen. Can anyone explain why? Any solution to this? Or old devices with higher android version is not for gaming ? My games are dream league soccer and arena of valor

I'm on opengapps. So far so good.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
I also flashed OpenGApps pico package instead of SimpleGApps as suggested in OP and didn't have any problem.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] simarguram:
Just go to recovery and go to wipe section and FORMAT DATA.. Confirm it by typing yes on the next page and reboot

Or

Go to fastboot mode .. And issue commad fastboot-w

And reboot .. U would not be required to install rom and gapps again .. U should be able to boot

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

Nexus 6p has a hardware defect. Some ppl experience a 4 high performance core failure. And when those 4 cores fail. You are left with 4 low performance cores. And u wont be able to boot which results in continous bootloops. However BLOD patch is available, which when flashed, disables those bad 4 cores. And ppl can use phone with the remaining 4 cores.

However changes for blod to happen are minimised if u have a check on the temp on the phone. Heat kills this device coz of SD810.

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

I seriously doubt u can active dead cores via software patch. U can try disassembling phone. And try heat gun solution. But that too has high probability of not working.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hsiehboss:
Yes, I did wipe internal storage after flashed the ROM and GApps, then boot into system is fine.

Fist time boot into recovery also fine, and install magisk 17.2 , boot into system success.

The second time boot into recovery , all settings are reset to the TWRP standard. the folder name in the internal storge like attachment.

BLOD???

There are varying degrees of BLOD because I never experienced ALL the problems most people have had

Constant reboots and Wi-Fi outages on stock

Wi-Fi turning off on custom ROMs (Which seems to be a regular occurence)

Phone gets hot while charging, but what constitutes "too hot?"

Have always been able to boot

BLOD patch has helped with the reboots, but everything else is day-to-day.

Known Problems Experienced

I can't seem to post attachments since I deleted old xda account and stated a new one. Can't seem to remember imgur login at the moment. No logcat due to some problems below

Color gradient of some notifications in dark theme (USB Debugging notification). Black on black makes it hard to read. Not urgent

Unable to setup VPN. Haven't tested Wi-Fi Assistant on Project Fi, just yet

Lockdown function introduced in Pie doesn't show up when power button is pressed. (Found it in Sparks)

TWRP is able to decrypt data with PIN, but NOW unable to get past lock screen when entering correct PIN.

Read other post from people on Pixel devices that it's a known issue. Could this also be a result of enabling Lockdown or Quick Unlock from Sparks? Deleted the three lock settings in /data to no avail putting phone in perpetual starting screen.​

DO NOT TURN ON QUICK UNLOCK!!! Doesn't work correctly. Locked myself out twice now :crying:​

Starting over again from scratch. Will post logcats going forward...if available.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mhammadakkad:

Hi everyone!

So I jumped the ship from stock Oreo to this.

While the ROM itself is neat and clean, I felt the performance on stock was better. There's much lag all around.

Also, the setting for gesture navigation has seemingly disappeared from the gestures menu. I had it enabled and now I have the old 3 button navbar. Any ideas how to get it back?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] d_originaldappa:
No luck ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] squidblaster:
I had to go back to 9/29 build. For some reason the 10/14 build after wiping, flashing in twrp and flashing gapps continues to reboot to recovery no matter what I do. Never had this problem before and I doubt many others have it.

If anyone knows let me know. I'll stick to 9/29 build for now though.

Good rom , thanks!
