All humming along nicely, no problems. Have to say between the customizations, and the ease of not needing several additional apps, my life is a lot better after migrating from Nitrogen to Pixel Dust. Many thanks.:highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bharath A:
Hii, does magisk automatically kicks-in if I dirty flash the ROM over previous build??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
In my experience, sometimes, yes. But the last couple of times, no.

So I recommend having Magisk and the ROM both in your update folder before you flash - that way it's simple to flash Magisk if the script doesn't run automatically.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bharath A:
Yup, had to reflash magisk!!!

BTW what's the sot you guys get when used from 100-0?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I never let mine drop to zero. I have a wireless charger beside my laptop and I give the N6 an occasion top-up, but even when I don't I rarely drop below 30%by evening. I'm not a heavy user though, just regular checks for emails, updates, Web browsing, XDA etc. I guess I get around 4 hours plus. In fact Battery Bot Pro shows 1 hour 52 minutes and I'm on 52%, so that was a good estimate.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Yes last 2 updates, Magisk manager update installation failed so had to do it manually from TWRP, and install the Magisk zip file. Minor glitch on the road to digital nirvana.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Just clean installed this PD for the first time wondering is theirs any settings to turn on the battery charging LED light in this latest June build or it just stays off and black ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Unfortunately the LED doesn't work on PD, even with LightFlow. Nitin knows about it but hasn't had time to look into why it's not working. Sorry if I missed telling you about this when I told you about PD.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
No Problems thought maybe I might be missing something and it was already fixed in the latest June build is all

Can you tell me where the setting is to change the pink ascent colors?

I saw it now I can see to find it again
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I'm guessing that you mean pink accent? Accent colour is in Settings/Display/Accent colour.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
There we go thanks :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Looking for another option that i seem to have disabled changed some how. I use to be able to swipe up to close resent apps now its making me swipe right anyone know that where that option is so I can change it back ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What navigation bar are you using?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Navigation mode stock it says
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Check the settings in PD Settings -> Gestures -> Edge gestures

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
No I don't see anything in there that does it

Any other suggestions ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I am unable to think anything else right now. Are you using any custom launcher?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
No just using stock PD everything at first it was working so I know must be some setting i must of messed around

Maybe I'm missing what you mean, but there's an option to choose between the sensible vertical Oreo recent apps and the laborious horizontal Pie recent apps. Maybe this is what you're after?

Settings/Recents apps/Stock recent style.

Hi, I found this

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291692736

It's a build of TWRP 3.2 by [MENTION=7581611]ZawZaw[/MENTION] with F2FS capability.

Does F2FS work on shamu Nitrogen/Pixel Dust Pie? Or does f2fs converted partitions convert back to ext4?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Partitions don't automagically convert from one filesystem to another filesytem.

F2FS does work but I wouldn't use it, as I haven't updated the f2fs driver since years.

At least on shamu you don't gain anything using f2fs but you might run into a lot of problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wabmorgan:
Very nice ROM. Thanks for posting.

I'm looking for a good way to bump up the internal speaker call volume ?

Wondering if theirs any hidden options in Pie or PD I may be missing ?

Tried Viper4Android no worky .

Maybe someone can recommend a solid Custom Kernel with Volume adjustments that pairs well with PD ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Strange - I have no problems with call volume. And I'm really really old, so it can't be just my ears... :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Road noise is the issue for me I do alot of highway driving

So back to my original questions

Anyone ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
My phone quite loud. Not an issue, even in heavy loud traffic.

What about simple combination of 1/ Connect phone to car audio system via Bluetooth? 2/ Use headset?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Just looking for a way to bump up the internal speaker volume is all

These latest versions of Pie seem to have gotten rid of a long standing Hearing aid compatibility option that bumped up the sound volume just right

It was in the phone app menu top right 3dots icon >Settings > Accessibility.

you could enable or disable the box next to “Hearing aid compatibility " gone now and so is the added volume
[Nexus 6 Android Development] chile62:
Viper works very well for me (i work in a very loud industrial environment). I am using VIPER4Android FX Legacy Materialized (v4.3 2.5.0.5) available thru Magisk modules/downloads.

The other versions of VIPER4Android,, (VIPER4Android FX v2.7.1.0 and VIPER4Android XHIFI v1.5.2 did not work on my device.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Thanks Just installed it

Can you tell me what settings your using to jack-up the call volume ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] str8str:
Is casting working
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Yes. I have a smart TV, Samsung Series 7, with a Chromecast dongle, and it works fine. I have no idea whether it's the dongle or the TV receiving the Nexus 6 cast, but it definitely casts perfectly well.

Edit: I thought my answer was a bit unhelpful, so I unplugged the Chromecast from the TV and my N6 still casts perfectly well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] str8str:
Mine isn't casting. I'm using to connect to my windows 10 connect and it don't connect. My one plus 5 does no problem both are on pie
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
I remember reading problems while casting on windows 10 in general.

Can you try to cast on any other device than windows 10?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Markeee:
Anyone know a way to disable this side navigation or what ever you call this in PD ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I've just spent 15 annoying minutes trying to connect to my Windows 10 Spectre. No go. I even reinstalled Google Home, but it looks as if that works only with a Chromecast. All I get is "No device found".

---------- Post added at 08:27 ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 ----------

Settings/Pixel Dust Settings/Gestures/Pie Control.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
A PC is usually a chromecast client, only the chromecast servers show up if you search for it. To cast to your pc (instead of from) you would need a 3rd party application
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I hear that, but I read that W10 allows a connection via the Connect app - but that didn't work either. Oh well, it's not a big deal for me; I was just curious when I saw the question. I rarely cast anything anyway - my TV & PC already have all the functionality I need. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
Have you checked the enable wireless display option in the cast settings?

https://imgur.com/a/S7gIfmr < Somehow I couldn't inline this, the url would be changed to the xda cdn but wouldn't work

Long press the cast options in quick settings and press the 3 dots in the top right to see this option. I hope this will work for you :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Thanks for this. Yes, I knew about this option and it was enabled. I think Nitin is right that Windows 10 is a bit awkward with casting. Or maybe it's tied up with my security - firewall, VPN, ransomware protection...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] EpicKip:
Maybe.. I would test it but the computers at work don't support connect ;) If I get a chance to test it at home I'll let you know if it works.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sucharithan:
Nitin! Thanks for the new ROM.

I wish you don't stop Nexus 6 ROM development in near time :D

TBH I am in no mood to switch device as long as good ROM like this comes up! Cheers.

Hi!

According to "Listing of Features" it say this rom has LED options:

"Notification & battery LED options

* Notification light pulse and speed

* Set per app notification colors

* Pulse if battery light low

* Set battery light colors"

But I cant find it anywhare in settings. Is there no LED on this rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Why are you asking a question that I've already answered for you?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79878333&postcount=11444
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Eazy:
Because it is in the list of features and you might be wrong.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I've been using Pixel Dust for months and I clearly said that nothing makes the LED work. Nitin is aware, and at least one other senior developer (@Elektroschmock) has confirmed that PD needs a tweak to make it work. Search the thread for LED to see confirmation.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
What [MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION] said is absolutely right :)

PD July update?

Hi-without any pressure intended, is there a plan to release a July update, as normally, these seem to appear mid-month?

Thanks as always for your wonderful efforts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Just for everyone's informaiton, PD has moved to CAF base (in fact that is in progress); so there won't be any update for aosp base. I've to build for shamu on CAF base and see it it works as intended.

It would need some time. I'm trying to get taimen working first and then I'll build for shamu.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Thanks Nitin for explaining - we do appreciate very much the hard work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Nitin, it's good to hear that PD is continuing. Excellent news - thank you.

Will the CAF version need a wipe and clean install? All I know about CAF is what I've read in the past ten minutes - that it's optimised for Qualcomm devices, so I guess that there should be some benefits.

Whichever it is, clean or dirty, I'm looking forward to trying it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, it's response time is faster than aosp. It'll need a clean flash. You can consider it as a different rom as everything is done from scratch by our man [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION].

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
For anyone else who felt uninformed - I found this link explaining CAF vs. AOSP:

https://customroms.net/faq/caf-vs-aosp-los-roms/

Good read...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Nitin - just curious, is the main reason for doing this to realise the gain in response time? Or is there some other advantage such as it will be much easier to patch with security updates?

Only asking as my phone with Pixel Dust Pie is currently pretty smooth and fast, despite my best efforts to clog it with apps. I would hope only that the new ROM does not detract from adapting Android Q which is the other challenge facing our indomitable defenders of the N6.

Just interested in your thinking. Thanks as always for the superb effort.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Main intention behind moving to caf is the performance improvement.

Merging the security patches is quite a bit difficult and is dependent on CAF. So security patch updates would not be as prompt as aosp. CAF usually takes a month or two to merge the security patches (presently June patches are merged into CAF source).

Regarding Q, it'll be too early to comment on that ;)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Thanks. I cannot speak for others, not to mention the valuing the joys of coding challenges. But in my case, if I had to choose between keeping up to date with security patches vs. saving who knows, maybe a few seconds / minutes per day in response time (at best - and especially when you have to net out the probably 1- 2 hours it will take to get a new ROM fully up and tweaked), I would choose the former. It is the nature of how I have to store things that will mean a lot of slow file copying after a full flash - it is a fair bit of work, and no doubt numerous apps will need to be re-installed.

Do you think there might be an option to keep PD / AOSP patched and going as is, which is pretty dang good on a phone now pushing on 6 years, while you all experiment with the CAF version? Especially if as you say, it seems difficult or slow to patch the CAF, and in any case, the possibility exits of running Q (and hence another full flash) might be only 4-6 months away? Just saying....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I hear you, but what actual damage has been done by failure to implement Android security updates? I'm not dismissing them, but there's a difference between laboratory tests and real-world effects. Personally I wouldn't be keen on continuing to run, say, Pure Nexus 7.1.1, two years out of date, but a couple of months...? Since we're pretty clued-up on security, being members of XDA, maybe we're less at risk of zero-days than the average punter?

Edit: And in addition, although I understand your reluctance to spend a couple of hours doing a clean install, in essence what you're asking is that Nitin spend hours every month maintaining two versions to save you that one-off couple of hours. I'm afraid that that proposition can't fly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Well I am just hoping that 1. Patching the PD AOSP will not take so much time, and 2. from Nitin's comment above, it sort of sounded like another person (Spezi77) was managing the CAF version anyway. So maybe it would not be such a burden? All way past my pay grade.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Source is totally managed by [MENTION=5091819]spezi77[/MENTION] (thanks man!). And he had made a decision to go ahead with CAF sources. So there isn't a possibility to have both the versions around :(

I'm using PD CAF on my Pixel 2 XL and I see the difference in performance. However I agree with your point that someone will prefer security updates over an improvement in the performance. But again that is the matter of preference and now our man Spezi77 prefers performance ;). So we have to respect that (after all he's doing all the hard work) :highfive:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Ok thanks and understood. All respect due to the developers. Have no doubt there will be a performance boost. Just in my case when I measure it against what I know will be the time lost getting a new ROM up, gains are minimal..But I guess we will see. Thanks for answering and explaining.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Well, I have an odd request for help and advice. My N6 on PD started suddenly to go dead, sometimes several times a day and sometimes within minutes of the previous reboot. Not random reboots, just dead, so that I had to use the power button to force a reboot.

So I thought: I'll see if LineageOS has anything to offer until a new PD arrives. I did a full wipe, everything, copied Lineage to the N6 in recovery and installed it. After a couple of hours tweaking it it suddenly froze. No problem, I thought, I'll just restore my PD image which I took immediately before the wipe (and copied to my laptop). Full wipe again, every partition (except recovery, of course). It's not a full single system image, but the separate partitions.

And now the bizarre (to me) part. When I'd restored and rebooted, it was as if PD was installing from scratch. I got the language choice screen at the start of a new setup. I tried the image from a week ago. Same result.

I've done this dozens of times, and TWRP has never let me down, so I'm guessing I've cocked it up somewhere, but a full wipe followed by a restore has worked before. Has anyone any ideas where I've gone wrong? Duh...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Dernz:

Yes, I didn't include messaging as people use app of there choice for messaging. Get it from play store and it works.

another question，recent have Pie and Oreo two style choice ，but both Oreo style

ambient display have not a switch
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Can substratum change the quick settings cause Pie looks like Old Lg G2 stock rom. I know you cant change quick settings in Oreo.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Depends on the substratum them you are using.

Don't you have Pie recents by default?

Amazeballz

Just flashed today to my oldie Nexus 6. Thanks so so much for developing for latest android versions. Devs like you help us keep old nexus/ pixel devices alive!

Just one small query; are you planning on updating to android pie navigation (buttons) and recent menu? Although there is an option to select Oreo/ Pie recents, but that seems to be broken. There a few minor bugs here and there, which I can happily live with. But Pie navigation would really complete the experience.

I have used NitrogenOS for Pie in past couple months, and gotten used to full fledged Android Pie. Thanks tonnes for supporting shamu!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:
Default pie , but still oreo style
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Please elaborate - "few minor bugs here and there" except the one FC on search in Settings (which is known as mentioned in past)

Did you check Settings - System - Gestures?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbilaiya:
Settings -> System -> Gestures has following 3 options:

Jump to camera

Lift to check phone

Prevent ringing

Following are the bugs I came across:

Random error in connecting to camera (solved by reboot).

Pixel launcher lags sometimes (re-renders).

Random phone crash (shutdown) while gaming.

Clicking on 'Pixel Dust Updates' crashes settings. (Settings -> System -> About phone -> Pixel Dust Updates)

Battery calibration issue/ empty at nearly 45-50%.

Recents only supports Oreo, even on selecting Pie. (Settings -> Pixel dust settings -> Recents apps -> Stock recents style)

Pixel Dust Version: PixelDustROM-9-20181111-RELEASE

Pixel Dust Build Date: Sun 11-Nov 22:07:18 IST 2018

Are you planning on updating navigation buttons to Pie style, along with gestures like swipe up at home capsule, etc?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks! I can only call this an issue: "Clicking on 'Pixel Dust Updates' crashes settings." (and it is already fixed for the next build :)

1. Camera is well known behavior on all Pie ROMs and we'll have to live with that

2. Again depends on the game and can't do anything from ROM side for that

3. as mentioned above - accepted and already fixed

4. That's your battery

5. I am unsure if that is a bug but I'll check and see what can be done in next build

[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:
Contacts apk also does not exist
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
why don't you download what you need from playstore, you even get one with a dark theme eventually ;)

people should get used to take what they get as it is and not post every little detail that's not after their gusto, need rom with a contacts app, there are many enough around or what i said first.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:
actually ，I want to say ，I down APP what I need from apkpure ，but like Googlemessages GoogleContacts etc. does not work ，This is very abnormal。
[Nexus 6 Android Development] duhec:
How about the notification LED? Did you had the time to check that out? :o

As someone who used to use only the system apps shipped with the ROM I now agree with magnamentis. Having the latest Google Apps is best because you get dark mode and some new useful feature here and there.

What I am now doing since yesterday is either downloading Aroma package, flash it in TWRP and select the apps I want, the ones I don't want and the default apps I want removed. And the cool thing is that some apps like dialer, messagging, etc. gets replaced by the Gapps. automatically. Although in this ROM's case it is mostly just adding apps. And if you don't like doing that every time you clean flash a ROM, you can configure a .gapps-config file and it does it for you automatically. :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
There is Google Play Store for downloading the apps.

No, I didn't get time to check that :(

The recommended kernel is built in the ROM. You can experiment and use the kernel that you wish (but while reporting anything on the thread, make sure you are on stock kernel :))

Weird but it happens. Did u try to format (not wipe) all, then restore PD ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I didn't format, since I was already unencrypted, but that's an interesting idea. I'll give it a go. Thanks...

Edit: And we're back in the room... :)

Thanks, [MENTION=778632]hbenz2008[/MENTION] - this is what XDA's all about.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Great that this worked-did not realize different ROMs have different formatting effects (?).

However, it seems your tech safari started with random and sudden complete losses of power running PD. So there are multiple things going on here. If that reoccurs, it could be battery or the battery/power connector is loose? But you replaced the battery not so long ago?
