i don't even know what is dm verity force encrypt?i mean i know its kind security thing in Roms to prevent modifications in Rom,,,

but still i didn't get that why to disable it i mean i have flashed alot of Roms including this Rom,,,But i never have interaction with this dm verity thing...

If you can increase my knowledge in this Regard...

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AndyYan:
Uh... This seems to be written for users with unencrypted data, but

1) The unencrypted kernel is supposed to be flashed after the ROM

2) Last I checked, the DMV/FE Disabler fails to disable FE (cuz our fstab is kinda special - that's why I offered a separate kernel), and DMV doesn't matter on custom ROMs.

Hi [MENTION=4467696]AndyYan[/MENTION]

Please verify, is this v16 Lineage used with FDE or FBE?

I love v15.1 and would love to try the Pie version but don't care for the FBE steps.

Thank you & Best regards.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] D@rekills4:
It's with FBE. You will have to install the FBE recovery to make it work. It won't work otherwise, I have tried, unintentionally.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NatesLaw:
Thanks for the info. Greatly appreciated.

So it's Oreo for life! :victory:
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Thanks to Google For Upcoming Day by Day ****s,,,
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] ipdev:
:confused:

What extra steps?

If you are talking about recovery, yes you need to use a recovery that supports File Base Encryption. It's been linked a few times recently.

FBE (File Base Encryption) is the current encryption on Android.

FDE (Full Disk Encryption) started being depreciated with Nougat.

I'm surprised some newer device still run FDE.

https://source.android.com/security/encryption
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NatesLaw:
Yes, I've done the FBE process with the special twrp a few times as I've tried ROMs such as PE & StatiXos. It's not necessarily taking extra steps that's the issue as I don't mind tinkering with ROMs, etc.... perhaps that was a poor choice of words. It's that wiping the device also seems to wipe my APN so I never have data for internet, maps, etc and they don't have the "+" to add an APN and the edit option is greyed out so I can't edit mine in. I've mentioned that in other threads and apparently it's only my issue and nobody else so I've been forced to move on.

As for FBE being what's used on all of today's devices, that's fine...I'm no expert so if you say so I believe you, but since this is a 4-5 yr old device I just hoped I'd have more options (and any Pie options) but apparently it's not in the cards for me. So, I'm team Oreo and that's okay. I do like LineageOS v15.1 coupled w/ savagezen's kernel so I can't complain :cool:

Edit: btw, I realize there's a couple Pie roms that are, or were, FDE (like RR & ACIP) but they don't work well for me.

[MENTION=7193890]NatesLaw[/MENTION]

This device doesn't run bad for an 810, which arguably was one of the more terrible soc's that Qualcomm came out with. The thing really holding this device back development wise, I'm assuming is the hardware issues the device has because of huawei using terrible hardware.

Then again I haven't looked into seeing if the 5x is still popular since these both come out at the sane time, but if you can find a ROM that works and you're happy with it, then keep at it.

Google going to the dual partition bs really made development a pain on the ass for pixel devices, I have the 2xl and its mind numbing how much it differed from nexus devices.

Tldr: Use this device as long as you can, because google based devices are going to eventually get to the point where people don't want the headache anymore

I pre-load all the archives in my phone after step 3, however ADB sideload would work as fine. :)
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] NatesLaw:
Sorry to be a pest...

So you fastboot (from computer) the twrp, and archives thru step 3.

You then are able to boot your phone, install the rom, Gapps, magisk.

You then reboot into bootloader to finish the fastboot from computer. Then reboot & voila?

Is this correct?

Prior to the upgrade (using June's snapshot) I had this strange phenomena where suddenly after a minute of use the ui will freeze then it will get restarted loosing all work that was done during that minute. And then again in a loop.

So I have updated to latest ROM snapshot, wiped caches and restarted. That did the trick for me.

Battery life
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AndyYan:
Um, no quarrels here please. Especially that this isn't even my thread O_o

I would say both your comments make sense in a way - N6P is nearly 4 yr old by now, and the batteries in most units would be decayed heavily, especially with pressure from SD810 resulting in more discharge cycles. My own decayed 20+% within 2 years, prompting me to install a new one at the end of its active duty. But on the other hand, if it behaves worse in a comparison on the same device over a short time span (i.e. unchanged battery condition) then surely something's happening.

Unfortunately it's not something I can help track down or remedy, as I'm merely a builder (I don't maintain the device sources), plus mine is now mostly idle (and idle consumption is normal at least on my side).

Sorry for the question to a 2 month old post, but does using the boot.img item mean this rom can be used without changing to FBE (ie: stick with my old, trusty FDE)?

I use my 6P as a backup.

Also, what my simCard is in when I'm flashing my main phone.

LineageOS 16 is working great for me.

Actually, encryption is a mute point if you run unencrypted.

Regardless if it's Full Disk or File Base.

Unencrypted uses none.

The modified boot.img [MENTION=4467696]AndyYan[/MENTION] offers allows users to simply flash a boot image instead of unpacking it, modifying it and repacking. Then flashing the repacked boot image.

If you run unencrypted, it does not matter what encryption type (FDE/FBE) a recovery or rom will handle or not.

Keep in mind, if you are encrypted, you will need to formate your internal storage to remove encryption.

Running unencrypted, will not change the encryption type used by the device or rom, simply doesn't use it.

If you decide to encrypt later, using this Lineage build, it will encrypt as FBE.

Hope this explains things a little more.

Does anyone have their photos app crash? It was working before I messed with the wallpaper.[COLOR="Silver”]
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] springer.music:
Thank you!

I just wanted to share my experience in upgrading from the official LOS 15.1 (unencrypted) to AndyYan's unofficial LOS 16

without needing a computer

and

without wiping any data

.

Important note: My N6P had the official LOS 15.1 and it was

not encrypted

, plus the latest bootloader and radio were already installed.

These are the main steps I followed:

1. (optional) I backed up everything I needed... you know... just in case something went horribly wrong ;)

2. I downloaded a bunch of files directly on the phone (all the necessary links were posted in this thread previously. Here the only new file is

lineage-migration-official-to-unofficial.zip

):

- TWRP FBE 3.2.3-1

- AndyYan's latest LOS 16 build + unencrypted boot.img (also kindly provided by [MENTION=4467696]AndyYan[/MENTION] )

- The relevant OpenGapps (I chose the Stock package)

- The latest Magisk zip (My LOS 15.1 was already rooted with Magisk... but you never know...)

- Pixel-Stuff.zip + Pixel-Stuff-Builtin.zip (please see the relevant post from [MENTION=6382957]ylescure[/MENTION] in this thread)

- lineage-migration-official-to-unofficial.zip file. I downloaded the latest I found on androidfilehost.com . I believe it was from [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] but I can't find the link again now.

3. This is what I did to flash the files:

- From LOS 15.1 I rebooted to recovery. I was on the standard TWRP 3.3.1

- Flashed twrp-fbe-3.2.3-1.img directly from TWRP 3.3.1

- Restarted the recovery and landed in TWRP FBE 3.2.3-1

- From TWRP FBE 3.2.3-1 , I then flashed the other files in the following order:

--- unofficial LOS 16 build

--- unencrypted boot.img

--- lineage-migration-official-to-unofficial.zip

--- OpenGapps

--- Magisk

--- Pixel-Stuff.zip + Pixel-Stuff-Builtin.zip

I then rebooted, crossed my fingers and waited a looooooog time. It felt like it took forever to boot but finally the lock screen appeared. It then still took another 10-15 mins to finish the upgrade.

All seems to be working and (almost) all apps and settings are there were I left them.

Hope this helps. :)

EDIT #1:

You're very right, the only app that seems to act is Google Photos. I even cleared its cache and storage but it still force closes.

Here's the crash log:

EDIT #2:

[MENTION=5633177]APark95[/MENTION]

I've just found a workaroud.

It looks like this build of LOS 16 doesn't like having Google Photos as a system app.

I uninstalled it with TiBu (other apps may work as well), rebooted the phone, and installed Photos again as a user app from the Play Store. It seems to work fine now.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] APark95:
Thank you. Yeah, I was trying to uninstall it with a file manager app but gave up halfway through. Again, thank you for your persistence.

I'm using gapps with gphotos and not a single crash yet. Clean install using default encrypted way.
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] springer.music:
Thanks. Then it may be related either to the dirty flash/upgrade or to the version of gapps that I installed. I tried the Full open gapps from Aug 10.

I then noticed that in open gapps from Aug 13 they downgraded photos from 4.22.x to 4.21.x which may indicate that there might have been an issue with 4.22.x but I'm too lazy to try again... ;)

Which version/date is the gapps zip that you installed?

[MENTION=4467696]AndyYan[/MENTION] thanks for providing these builds for our device. I'm interested in building this ROM with a couple of minor tweaks for my own use, and I was wondering if you have the source code available anywhere. These patches are a little out of date now, and while I think I've resolved the merge conflicts correctly, it would be great to see your code and make sure I haven't made a mistake. Thanks again!
[Nexus 6P Original Android Development] AndyYan:
Sorry I haven't updated you guys on the matter - [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] approached me earlier and asked if I would like to collaborate, and given that I'm running low on both GCP credits and interest in N6P (*), and seeing the many ROMs he already build/maintain, I thought I might as well just hand the job over to him. I haven't confirmed with him yet, but supposedly starting this month you'll be getting builds from his thread (when he creates one). Also contact him for sources - I believe he uses Statix sources as well.
