Is this bug?

1. power off menu does not appear on the lockscreen.

2. Can't double tap to wake device even this option is on.

3. No Led notification, no charging led.

Is this bug?

I'm newbie here
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
1. You can disable that in Pixel Dust Settings, Lock Screen

EDIT: not Lock Screen, but rather Power Menu

I answered that because I knew where it was - I'd already read about it. I don't use or worry about the other two. I am SURE that I've seen them both discussed many times in the thread.

If a newbie can post, a newbie can search before posting.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
3 Yes, known bug.

I'll help you this one time even though a simple search or even a browse of the last few pages would have answered the question for you. Being a noob isn't a crime; being lazy is. The search button is there for a reason.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your help, but i'm asking about double tap on display settings not work. Just that. Not looking for double tap it self.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Have you installed kernel auditor and enabled double tap to wake from there?

Great ROM! Smooth, light weight and clean. Reminds me of PureNexus! Simplicity is Golden.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Holysmoke99:
Going to switch to this rom from NOS. Will donate as I did to NOS if it fixes my issues. Thank you nitin!

edit: so far everything is wonderful except the camera app continues to crash. I downloaded google camera as well and it crashes. Man my luck with these Shamu's.

This is my 4th or 5th Shamu. I love the screen size so I keep buying them, but it might be time to move on.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Search and you'll find a workaround for camera crashes. That's a known issue with Shamu.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Holysmoke99:
Reboot is the workaround correct?

Have a coffee on me.

This rom is like having a brand new phone.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] githyanki:
Yes, and don't try out the camera within first 5 minutes.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Wardaddy755:
trusted face not working

Hello, love the rom and all the stuff it has but sadly trused face doesn't work, it crashes or the camera won't show up. Didn't flash gapps since the rom already includes it, tried to wipe cache as well and not using the camera for 5-10 mins after boot and also google camera but no luck.

Thanks again for all the hard work!

[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Either. Both. Just make the attempt to research before asking questions that have probably been answered before.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] darkstar73:
I recently started using this ROM. Had been using Nitrogen. Everything is working well except I can't get the notification/battery light to work. I saw a post from late Feb that this was an issue. Since I use my phone for work, anybody know of a way to get it working?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
It's on Nitin's to-do list.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Use Light flow app and see if that helps.

Yes, not sure when (or if) I'll be able to work on it :mad:

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I bought Light Flow a few years ago and I've just reinstalled the Pro version. I set it for all recommended root access, and no light notification works. I even tried the built-in "test LED" button and it shows nothing. Looks like something needs to be tweaked in the ROM to get the LED working. As I've said before, it's a nice-to-have for me, not critical.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Lightflow expects the old, stupid on/off interface for the LEDs.

This kernel already uses the impoved PWM interface I implemeted for LineageOS.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I initially read this as "I can fix this" but then thought you might mean "Light Flow needs to fix this". I hope it's the first one? :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Lightflow could adapt to it, but I don't know if they want to support two different solutions.

I didn't mean that I am going to fix it. I implemented it for LineageOS where it is working as intended.

I don't have time to fix other ROMs. But it shouldn't be hard to copy a working solution properly.

Hi-got notification yesterday to update Magisk to v. 19. Puts phone into boot loop. Have tried both the Manager installer route and installing zip from TWRP. Both bork. Anyone else having this problem on Pixel Dust latest build? All else running as smooth as silk. Thx
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I updated my PD device via Manager, the recommended method (patch & reboot). It rebooted fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
PD is April 8th build. No kernel tweaks.

I updated Magisk Manager to 7.1.2 first, then used that to "Direct Install" & reboot to Magisk 19.1 - zero problems. No downloaded modules in Magisk before or after upgrade.

Technically 19.1 is beta, but it hasn't farted at all on my setup. Maybe you should set MM to pull beta updates?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
All set after update of magisk and manager.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Rauldcool:
Try popcorn or Franco kernel it MIGHT work; I'm using "pixel experience rom" on Oreo which is almost 99% stable but won't receive updates. Notification led works perfectly in pixel experience rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sonofevil77:
I can't get any modules to stick.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
What "modules" (Magisk?), what does "stick" mean? And this is a Pixel Dust ROM thread for Nexus 6 not 6P. The engineering term WTF comes to mind.

C'mon people, Nitin does so much. A little common sense, and a little clear explanation if you want help. Exhausting.:eek:

* * *

For the record - thanks to those who commented on my earlier Magisk update problem - sorted it finally with a complex removal at TWRP level. All good now - the PD ROM really does rock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Polv89:
Who come from Nitrogen, is better Pixel Dust or not?

thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
More customization in pixel. Bye
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Polv89:
Thanks a lot :))))
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
I prefer the richer customizations of PD, some like it leaner like NOS.

It is purely a personal preference so you'll have to compare them for yourself BUT they are both well tested, stable & vibrant. You can't go wrong with either choice, really.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Pixel Dust vs. Nitrogen: Agree with this - migrated from Nitrogen in March to Pixel Dust and have not looked back.

Very grateful to Nitin for keeping both going, but the customization of PD meant I could get rid of Substratum and several other apps so updates much easier.

PD allows a lot of tweaking e.g. system fonts, dark backgrounds, navigator and status bar stuff, and lots more.

I do miss the LED indicators of missed calls, SMS received etc., and quick look at charging with a closed cover etc. but as others have pointed out, not a train smash. On boot up, the LED goes on briefly so in theory there ought to be some solution.

Tnx, do u have night sight mod enabled g cam for nexus 6 on pixel dust??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
No because I don't think it is possible on a Nexus 6 (think you need 64 bit OS, or faster chipset). I use a few camera apps but none avail with something like Google night sight on their newer Pixel phones.

Maybe someone else has a solution?

Many thanks for keeping alive Shamu.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Oh wow... I installed the new version this morning, and all working fine - thanks for the umpteenth time, Nitin.

Then I decided to try fixing my wireless charging, which stopped working a couple of months ago when I installed a new battery. And of course after dismantling it I managed to tip it on to the floor - pieces everywhere - deep joy. I think I may be able to reassemble it, since the screen is intact, but equally this may be the end for me in Nexus 6 forums. A sad day after 4.5 years of pleasurable N6 enjoyment... duh... what a dope...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Ouch. I once mangled the power switch changing a battery but got a super cheap replacement on eBay-2 years ago. There are options.

So don't go wobbly on us as your former PM would say. Who cares if the phone works; we enjoy your helpful comments here. Good luck.:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Sad to hear that :(

I do agree with you, we'll definitely need your comments in here [MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION]

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Thank you all for your kind comments.

TLDR - it looks as if you can put up with me for a few more months... yee-hah, boy, I say yee-hah... :)

I've just spent ten minutes admiring the Oneplus 7 Pro on the John Lewis website, and was pretty much resigned to splashing out £699 for the 8/256 model (12 seems excessive, especially for an additional £100).

Then before I pressed the button I thought I'd try to reassemble the many pieces of the N6. A full hour of stress has ended up with a mostly-working device again - still missing the wireless charging, since it looks as if I knackered the motherboard connector when it fell and ripped and scattered pieces to the four corners of the room... :)

I've ordered a plug-in wireless charger:

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01DLYF1OQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Since I already have a case, and rarely use the charging port except for occasional file transfers, this looks like the best solution. I bought one for my son's Moto G5 and it worked well.

So I'm pleased to have my N6 back again - 24 hours with my ancient Nexus 4 was more than enough. :)

Thanks for the rom, just now installed my first custom rom(this) on nexus-6.

Understood that pie is bit heavy on our device.

Initial boot had torch and camera not working, but after reboot they are working fine.

Rom didn't come with phone app, that puzzled me a bit....

Default google contact app lags!!! Can anyone give an older version of contacts app that doesn't lag on our device??

Thank You dev for this rom!!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
You may simply need to reboot several times. I had trouble after the flash, seemed very sluggish. But now quite smooth. Your Contact app may have gotten mangled during an update. First export all contacts so you have a back up (and ideally store off phone on a computer or USB stick). Then delete and reinstall the Contact app. Should work fine.

Nitin - it almost goes without saying....cheers for all the hard work as always.:good::highfive:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Now that I have a new external charging pad sitting inside my case, I have the old internal charging coil going spare. It looks to me to be absolutely fine - as I said, the motherboard connector seemed to have been ripped off in the fall, but the coil itself looks undamaged. If anyone needs it to try to repair your broken coil you're welcome to have this one. PM me - as long as you aren't in Australia or the far side of the moon I won't even ask you for money... :)

It just seems a shame to throw it away, you know?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bharath A:
Thanks for helping me out, I found out that not only contacts, but the scrolling itself(in every app) lags!!! Did anyone overcome that???

And pixel launcher force closes during boot, is it common for all??

[MENTION=8658173]esysfound[/MENTION] which launcher do you use??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbenz2008:
Something is wonky on your set up /flash.

Format/clean flash

I like Nova (Boss o' Nova). As pointed out, something seems off with your setup.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pilsener:
Hi Nitin! First of all I want to thank you for this ROM! it works flawlessly, smooth and looks great!! You gave a new life to my phone!

I rooted the nexus 6 for the first time following the steps installed the latest TWRP and then your ROM, I still don't know how I could manage, but I did it :victory:

So I'm basically a noob with a noob question... here it is, and please don't kill me:

I see that you put the latest security update... how I can update now? I tried from the updater in the phone, but it says error, how can I do it?

Thanks again!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
The auto-update has never worked for me. All you need to do for future updates is download the new ROM and flash it in TWRP. To be on the safe side also download the latest Magisk Manager and zip so that if Magisk doesn't automatically install itself then you can also flash Magisk before you reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pilsener:
Thanks for your answer dahawthorne, so I have to flash every time?? :S Then I will lose all the apps and configs that I did put/madr alredy?? :eek:

There is a way to make the auto updater work?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
No, you won't lose anything. The update updates the system files, not data, where your data and settings are stored. With any luck you'll see no difference at all, you'll just be more secure, since I understand that Nitin is implementing only the security patches each month (though I'd be glad to hear I'm wrong on this point... :))

To answer your question, I don't know if the updater works for anyone - it may just be my excessive security settings. It's extremely simple to update in TWRP - five minutes start to finish. But always, always take a TWRP backup just in case before you start.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bharath A:
Yeah looks like I need to clean flash!!!! (I'll take this chance and flash nitrogen os too)

The phone just randomly switched off 2-3 times.....

Hi Everyone, I installed pixel dust on my N6 2 days ago. Install went perfect and Magisk too.

I do have one thing I need to ask, On the bottom of page where the white pill

is there is no back arrow, but if I touch the blank area is acts as if i pressed to he pill and takes me right back to the home screen. Is this normal on this rom? Also i installed magisk and have root but in play store settings it still says uncertified. Do i have to hide magisk, never had to due that before?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
1. That's not normal. Did you do a clean install? Are you using any other mods?

2. Clear the Play Store app data and it should get solved.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
I followed your directions to install from other rom. Install was smooth no problems. I fol allowed your directions and wiped, Dalvick cache, system, and whatever be the 3rd was. I could not find the twrp you sugested so i used the one that had a 0 at the end instead of a 1 at end. Should i have used the new one, 3.3.0
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Use the latest one from twrp.me

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
You might try this: Go to Settings, Pixel Settings, Navigation Bar, and check those settings. Maybe go back to Stock Navigation Bar, see if that is what you want. Otherwise tweak it as you wish. It is a nice feature in Pixel Dust.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pilsener:
You'll have to excuse me, but can you explain how to do it? Just download the ROM and use install from TWRP?

Thank you, and sorry for my ignorance. :o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I don't really understand why you're asking, since you managed it already. Also there is an installation guide on the first post. The community encourages people to try to do a bit of research before asking questions, though everbody here (in my experience) is super helpful, but equally everyone frowns on people not doing at least basic research before asking, and I simply don't get how you can have managed to miss reading the first post.

But short answer, yes. Also, if you want root, have the latest Magisk 19.2 and Magisk Manager in the same directory as the ROM so that you can easily restore root in case Magisk doesn't reinstall itself automatically.

But I've already told you that just a couple of days ago...?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Yes. And no.

If you read carefully the instructions on page 1 of this thread, all is really explained. Understand others' irritation on this point.

For sure, first back up on TWRP. And I would also back up all Apps using Titanium (Apps only not Apps & Data). And copy the backups OFF the phone on a PC or USB or Mac (ha ha).

You can use this to get about 80-90% of apps back on (my experience is no matter what, some need to be reinstalled). And to install again Magisk latest zip, again from TWRP.

The complication is if you have a fairly different non Pie ROM version and or your phone is encrypted. You must remove the encryption (also done from TWRP using reformat, not wipe). Doing that pushes you into a clean install. If you are not encrypted and you have a version of Pie, you can try just using TWRP to install the zip file, a so-called dirty flash. It is always safer to do a complete reformat of the system partition, then a clean install of a new ROM. If you are backed up, you will not toast anything - can always get stuff back via TRWP and Titanium. Just read the first page carefully - Nitin did a good job. Just take it slow and think.

About a week ago I Installed the Pixel Dust rom on my Nexus 6. A few days ago I ran a Malwarebytes scan. The scan said i had over 120 pieces of malware, most were phishing attacks. Why did this happen? Never had anything like this happen before. This is my backup up phone, so it's off most of the time.

Anyone have any answers as to how and why this could happen.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I guess you're just lucky... :)

I've never had anything like this on any ROM, and I've been running PD for months with no problems. Maybe it's just Malwarebytes throwing false positives?

Edit: Just out of curiosity I installed Malwarebytes, updated the database, and ran a scan. It found nothing. It may just be that you've been targeted by scammers, nothing to do with Pixel Dust, just a coincidence that it happened just after you installed the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] esysfound:
Sometimes (rarely) Malwareb picks up a false positive due to the way an App behaves. Had this with an old FlashRom app that was once popular. So it could be some app you run.

Surely the Malware diagnostics points you to where? As DA says this has nothing to do with Pixel Dust.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JGradyO:
I'm thinking this would have more to do with what you get in your email, or maybe social media (I say maybe because I don't bother with any of that), than with the ROM you run.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fiverings:
I think that it was probably a false positive. Just too many to be real.

Almost all phones with snapdragon 810, 808, or older don't have VoLTE, due to changes with IMS in Pie. The only that to fix this is if an OEM were to fix VoLTE for pie, but that's not gonna happen. Nexus phone, Robin, Oneplus 2 are all left without it.

Another Smart Alec whose single experience condemns a ROM that pretty much everybody else is happy with. I've tried Nitrogen Pie and it's no different in my experience in terms of stability, and the additional customisations in PD make it a pleasure to use.

And seriously... "a magnet for malware"? Really? How exactly does that work? Maybe PD encourages you to visit iffy sites more than NOS? Really, get a grip.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] razanahi:
Not agree with your feedback which is totally opposite to my experience, as this is good rom and as stable as nitrogen with more customization.
