Google Pay working - this is how I did it / feedback and features I miss

For anyone else wanting google play / all magisk safetynet checks to pass I was able to do this by:

- Flashing Bliss / Open Gapps Stock / Magisk. This showed the device as uncertified in google play (under settings), and also failed the ctsProfile check in Magisk. Google pay failed to setup even though magisk hide had been applied to google pay/google play/framework services.

- I then tried a combination of Magisk modules, MagiskHide Props Config and SafetyPatch. Same result.

- I then flashed Franco Kernel r76. In combination with the Magisk modules, this resolved the above and I was able to setup Google Pay.

- I then disabled the Magisk modules, which again failed ctsProfile check. I then enabled each module with reboots in between with SafetyPatch only being enabled as my final config.

So far my battery life hasn't been great (I have a new akku polarcell battery). ***EDIT 20181220: Turning off Android Pie Battery Manager seems to have fixed the drain. With it on I was getting the phone heating up even when off and terrible battery usage.

***EDIT 20181224: still getting battery drain. Adaptive brightness also off and greenify on. Seemingly random at this point excessive battery use and battery getting warm. Reboot fixes it temporarily.

In terms of features, what I miss is (coming from PureNexus)

- Long press power to turn on torch

- Double tap bottom bar to screen-off

- Ability to disable 'screen on' when charger is plugged in (most notably for NFC charging)

Finally, many thanks to all involved in the development of each of these elements!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] krazzyvishal:
And I'll say volume rocker wake.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] shiftymccool:
This is great, thanks! I was able to set up my card in Google Pay using your end configuration.

However, whenever I have SafetyPatch enabled I get this message on reboot: "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." It doesn't seem to be causing any trouble yet but I was wondering if you encountered this in your troubleshooting. EDIT: I found an issue, it seems that with SafetyPatch enabled Hangouts FCs on launch.

Thanks again!

EDIT: BTW, I second all of your feature requests, especially long press torch
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 265chemic:
You're welcome! I do indeed get that message. Have had about 3 random reboots as well over as many days, have caught a couple because of that message.

How's your battery life so far? Mine wasn't great but late yesterday I changed my launcher to quickstep instead of lawn chair and it seems to have improved a lot. Pixel launcher crashes as mentioned by an earlier poster.

Hangouts force close I fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling from the Play store. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] shiftymccool:
I normally use Smart Launcher 5 (but I'm playing with Niagara) but battery has been fine so far.

Does SafetyPatch need to stay enabled to use Google Pay? I disabled it and the FCs stopped, GPay is still set up and not complaining, but I haven't tried using it at a store yet. I would un/reinstall Hangouts but I installed it with openGApps stock package. :P
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 265chemic:
Not sure, I haven't actually used pay yet. I also installed Hangouts via opengapps stock but was able to uninstall
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dfisher237034:
Amazing!

Works flawlessly! I absolutely love this rom. I have searched and searched for a phone to replace my shamu. OnePlus is the only one close and I can't shell out $500 for a phone. Thank you for keeping this old gem alive!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dreamerok:
I have a trouble with magisk and supersu.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
Then post in those threads, this one is about Bliss ROM.

Oh and btw, I suggest if you want help anywhere, to actually specify your issue instead of 'I have a trouble'.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dreamerok:
installed stable bliss rom with latest twrp & all wipes. magisk tell's me error 1 in twrp
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
It seems like you are trying to say Magisk fails installing in TWRP, so... either go in a Magisk thread or a TWRP thread. Bliss ROM has nothing to do with this... as I said before....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrCrawdad:
I find that MagiskHide Props Config works much better than safteypatch for GPay. Not sure if I need permission to post the fingerprint from the oreo rom that I 'borrowed', but I pass safety net test with no problems now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] meedeetwo:
Hello. So did not add such settings. Will be in the next update rom ?

New life in my Nexus 6!

I discovered this rom a few days ago while browsing some Nexus 6 sites that I have not seen in a couple of years. Mainly because I have been using a stock Pixel XL. The Nexus 6 has always been one of my favorite phones for several reasons including the size, front facing speakers and the overall feel of the phone.

When I discovered that Pie had been ported to the Nexus 6 I thought I would give it a try with this Blissrom. I installed 11.2 a few days ago along with Magisk and just yesterday I flashed Franco Kernel. Blissrom has added new life into my Nexus 6! Thank you developers for all the work you have done for this phone!

When 11.3 came out yesterday I flashed it over 11.2 and it didn't want to act very good so I wiped and did a fresh clean install of 11.3. I guess I should have known that a major upgrade from 11.2 to 11.3 would probably require a clean flash.

The new Gestures that are on 11.3 are pretty cool!

My setup includes Opengapps Full, Magisk and Franco Kernel. I have not yet tried any Magisk modules yet but look forward to doing that very soon.

With a fresh new case and running a fine example of Android Pie, I have a new phone!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aclegg2011:
Could be an issue with your twrp or the magisk you're trying to use.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] u_know_me:
hi dev,

could you advise to fix safetynet cts False ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aclegg2011:
Yea, if you want to provide a step by step on what you did and what's needed to pass safety net and CTS you can go ahead and post it. :)

I think the issue is because the kernel is being ran in permissive mode. I was testing my bliss op6t ROM wouldn't pass CTS. So I rebuilt with selinux enforced and everything was good. I tried setting shamu to selinux enforced but had stuff stop working. So I need to look into fixing selinux.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrCrawdad:
CTS safety net fix for Google Pay

After installing MagiskHide Props Config, using any terminal program, gain super-user access by typing 'SU' and then enter followed by 'PROPS' and select '1'. The fingerprint I used was from an Oreo Nexus 6 rom: 'google/shamu/shamu:7.1.1/N6F27M/4299435:user/release-keys'

This passes safety net CTS check with or without Franco-Kernal installed.

I have problem with v11.3. I flash rom, gapps and magisk and after I restore my backup from Titanium backup I reboot the phone. The phone boot and the screen is black. When I press the power button it say Turn off, reboot and lock phone and I can't do anything
[Nexus 6 Android Development] runekock:
Well, Titanium isn't perfect. Boot to recovery, wipe data, and this time don't restore as much from Titanium. Particularly system settings of various kinds can be troublesome - ordinary non-system apps have a better chance of success.

Im going to try and get a new build out today. Ive been busy working on sepolicy for our shamus so we can run selinux enforced.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] lnsulans:
I've been having trouble with Bliss rom failing to reboot. It will install properly, boot just fine the first time (with GApps installed), runs with no problems. If I do a full reboot, it will not restart properly. It shows the bliss logo loading screen for a bit, then the screen goes black. A minute or so later, the phone reboots into recovery.

Any ideas how I can debug this, or suggestions on where to go from here?

Edit: Nevermind, fixed it. Needed to install OpenGapps stock, not OpenGapps mini.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] shiftymccool:
I was having the same issue until I reflashed with an older version of OpenGApps stock I had from November. There must have been something wrong with their most recent builds.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Not sure if it'll further help your progress but the DU team has found a fix for SELinux in permissive. Also [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] from LOS says he seems to have found a fix for the encryption issue. Just a heads up in case it helps.

Edit-

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] implemented the encryption fix onto CarbonRom but ran into issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 265chemic:
Battery drain?

What is everyone else's experience with battery drain on this rom? I want to see if it's common or isolated and something a reflash might resolve.

Every now and again my phone gets warm just sitting idle and goes through battery quickly. He stock battery app as well as accubattery don't reveal what is causing it.

I've tried turning off battery manager, adaptive brightness and wifi/Bluetooth scanning. Just last night cleared play services cache and data so hoping that last one works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pachangaz:
its a great rom thanks for your work, any body knows if the apps of a bank works with this rom or other? thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aclegg2011:
I'm curious about this too. Also want to know does the stock kernel vs franco kernel get better bat life?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sina_jackal1:
Hi my phone is getting hot (nearly 56 celsius degre) when i use it.

Does any one has the same problem?

I use the last version of bliss V11.4
[Nexus 6 Android Development] swear0730:
I upgraded to 11.4 and from 11.3 and wanted to re-encrypt my phone. Can't seem to get it done. Each time I get rebooted into TWRP it won't accept my pin code. Can someone direct me to the process to re-encrypt a phone. My searches have turned up some advice but nothing that seems to work.

TIA
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MrCrawdad:
[FONT=""Microsoft Sans Serif"]I used to have high battery drain. I believe that limiting programs and services from starting at boot was the biggest factor for myself. Took me a while to find:

Settings -> Blissify -> Interface -> Misc -> App Ops -> BOOTUP. I unchecked 'auto start' on items not related to contacts, emails, texting, android system files. I am sure the senior members have already posted a comprehensive list on what items can be disabled on boot.[/FONT]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] 265chemic:
Thanks, I tried a bunch of things but clearing cache and data for Google Play services seems to have been the thing that fixed it for me

EDIT: Nope, still happening from time to time. Have been clearing cache/data and shutting down/restarting to fix.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pissat4motion:
Battery drain for me seems to be faster on the 12/23 build. Had an issue with camera apps not opening but reboot solved that. Also noticed when answering/declining calls, swiping you have to be a lot more deliberate with the motion.

Otherwise running like a champ

[Nexus 6 Android Development] wavedashdoc:
No. Still broken on all Shamu Pie ROMs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] swear0730:
Can someone verify whether encryption works with this ROM? I thought I read that it was going to be fixed a couple of versions ago (maybe 12/15 version?).

I haven't seen anything mentioned yet and while I've seen a couple of references to selinux I just can't seem to figure out what the change logs are telling me.

Maybe encryption has been abandoned?

TIA
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SilverSix:
Haven't seen this posted yet but I've been having a scrolling animation issue on the last couple of builds. Between yesterday and today I've clean flashed my phone a total of 4 times. First one was to update to 11.4 (12/23 build), then reflashed because I messed up while restoring my phone, then reflashed because every folder under data/app was corrupted (stuff like com.domain.appname.fDGRg5dgdsGTaasd==) - last thing I did was install substratum layers; first time ever that this happened. And the 4th clean flash was to update to Xmas build.

Across all 4 installations, there's an issue in which scrolling causes glitches on the screen. It's present everywhere, from settings to games. A few rows of pixels across the screen have a delay and don't refresh fast enough, causing a horrible, "laggy" feel when anything is animated.

I have tried messing with DPI but no fixes. Probably a kernel issue? I flashed popcorn right after clean flashing - have been on every flash since Oreo as it is the best performing one for my phone. Does "vanilla" Bliss have FK now? Don't wanna switch to FK since it doesn't really perform as well as Popcorn on my device. If I flash FK over, would that overwrite anything popcorn? Also, Magisk 18.0 installed, only modules are substratum, YouTube Vanced, and Gboard themes. Glitch occurs even without substratum themes installed.

Edit: Flashing r77 FK causes endless reboots; was not able to test if the problem was fixed.

Edit 2: Temporarily clean flashed Xmas build without root, gapps, or popcorn. Scrolling was smooth. Flashed popcorn and scrolling was unaffected. Only stayed in that mode for a few minutes and then restored it to its current build using a nandroid backup. I don't know what could be causing it but I'd be down to doing testing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] meedeetwo:
I confirm on the last two assemblies that the interface of the system is very buggy. Unable to use. The rom is very good. But we want smoothness. Dear developers, you will fix it.?

Is WiFi Direct working in this ROM? It would be a deal breaker for me, I use it heavily

[Nexus 6 Android Development] SilverSix:
Earlier today I noticed the flickering was gone, but it came back tonight. First thought was night light and ta-da! Disabling NL gets rid of the flickering.

Something else worth pointing out: I tried Mobizen to screen record to see if I could capture the flickering in action. It captures the amber tint of NL, but it does not capture the flickering.

edit: Flickering came back after a while even with NL off, but it's nowhere as bad as it is with it on.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aclegg2011:
I wonder if it has anything to do with selinux being enforced.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Oddly, this was the only 8.1 ROM out of three or four 8.1 flavored ROMs out there which required me to decrypt my phone.

this is a 9.0 (pie) rom... sooooo... yea.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] electrikjesus:
I forget, does Shamu have an option to enable sRGB screen mode? If so, try and see if it's enabled.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SilverSix:
Found it on dev opts, was disabled. Tried enabling it but it reverts to disabled when you change screens. I'm assuming it doesn't support sRGB
[Nexus 6 Android Development] electrikjesus:
My only other thoughts are screen dimming steps, or animation scale for overlays
[Nexus 6 Android Development] SilverSix:
I have not messed with screen dimming. Regarding animation I changed it from x0.25 to 0.75 as I've done on every Bliss build since x0.25 animation speed is too fast and snappy for my taste.

The last build, for an outgoing call, the dialer crashes.

Installed the Clear Bliss theme, the background in quick settings has changed according to the theme, it has become transparent. But when I change the picture on the desktop, the background becomes dark and cannot be returned to transparent.

After cleaning dalvik cache launcher crashes.

You can fix this in the next build. The rom is good, but these minor bugs spoil everything.

Battery drain

Hi all, unfortunately I wasn't able to fix my issues with battery drain so moved over to nitrogen os - haven't had any battery drain problems so far (since 8th Jan). It might have been just a one off for me (ie. possibly a reflash of bliss may have helped) but fyi for anyone else that might be experiencing the same.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
Hello,

I am currently testing this ROM, nice work !

Just two questions:

* The screen flickers from time to time when I scroll. Have you ever encountered this problem? Do you have a solution?

* Is there an option to unlock the screen as soon as the PIN code is correct? (And not have to press the confirm key)

Thanks !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rawhide85:
Too bad you had the issue. Bliss has been rock solid for me. Clean flashed, two "factory resets" for good measure, and it's very stable. I tried N and when I themed with Swift Black it freaked out. Running blue/black theme with SB and its beautiful. Thanks [MENTION=8699036]aclegg2011[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
For question 1 I will have to ask: Do you have smart pixels enabled?

for question 2 I will have to say that defeats the purpose. If one does not press confirm the system will not count it as a failed attempt and thus someone could easily try every number (I know they don't know that, but you get the idea). For an instant unlock if correct I suggest a pattern, as soon as your finger comes off the screen (and the pattern is correct) it will unlock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
Hi EpicKip,

Thank you for your answer!

For question 1 : after searching, I didn't find any "smart pixels" options. I don't know what this option corresponds to. How do I know if this option is enabled? (I didn't install a custom kernel and I've left many default ROM options for now.)

For question 2 : That's right, thank you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
You can find smart pixels here: Settings > Blissify > Interface > Misc > Smart Pixels.

If its not there it has been (re)moved, I'm running a slightly older version.

This function disables a percentage of pixels, when I enable it I notice it turns off for a split second when rotating the screen. So thought it might be related to your problem
[Nexus 6 Android Development] beta1204:
Ok, thanks ! this option is therefore disabled.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dungeon47:
Might just be me, but it seems T-Mobile Wifi Calling isn't working properly. If I set it to Wifi Preferred, MMS won't function unless I turn Wifi off. If I set it to mobile preferred, MMS works. Other ROMs have not had this issue. It may, of course, be due to something I'm missing, but My config is as similar as possible to what I've used in other ROMs. Not a big issue, just pointing it out. Happy to test it if it helps.

I also experience screen tearing when scrolling, but no blackouts or flickering. Easy to ignore.

All in all,excellent ROM. Many thanks for providing it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
In that case I don't really know how you can solve it, if I come across a solution I will let you know.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] runekock:
As far as I know, WiFi calling doesn't work at all on any pie rom for the N6.

Thats harmless!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aclegg2011:

Im pretty sure that's only needed on treble device with a seperate /vendor partition.

Is there a way to disable wake on plug? If not, can that be added?

One other thing. Should I need to reflash gapps and Magisk when updating?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:
In fact, we are moto x Pro, through anykernel, we flashed the rom of nexus 6
[Nexus 6 Android Development] aclegg2011:
Anykernel flashes a kernel and ramdisk files (and patches init files). Is there a unofficial treble for Shamu? I'm not too sure what your point is. Anykernel has nothing to do with adding a /vendor partition.
