Nitin,

I've (temporarily, I hope) reverted to your NitrogenOS again because my PD was increasingly becoming unresponsive after any period of sleep. Not every time - sometimes it woke up with a couple of taps, but frequently it took 30/40/50 taps to wake. Even the power button didn't wake it. I systematically went through all my apps and disabled optimisation for the ones that I thought should be permanently active, but for the umpteenth time today it happened again.

I grabbed a logcat for about a 45-minute period, which hasn't exported at all well because it's lost the end-of-record markers in the export to my Google Drive, but I'm hoping that an expert eye may spot something that I'm not qualified to spot.

I reckon the time I tried to wake is is around 19:00, and (I forget) possibly around 19:25 just before the log stops.

Any advice that would allow me to restore PD and continue with it would be very welcome.

Thanks...

Edit: it seems to have recovered its end-of-record markers on the link - it must be my PC software being stupid... :)

I found a fairly new N6 and flashed your ROMs, first the Nitrogen 2 and after that this Pixel Dust November 11th build. I've been checking this for few hours now.

1.) Magisk Manager didn't ask for permissions. Doesn't it need root permissions? Or does it already have root permission?

2) Search in Settings crash; Settings suggestions keeps stopping.

3) Pixel Dust updates would bring it back to About phone.

4) Recent items only in Oreo, even when Pie is enabled.

#2,3 and 4 are minor matters, not a problem at all. Just reporting.

On the whole, Pixel Dust is a beauty!

I learned how to use the edge gestures, and I like them. I always wanted to autohide the navbar in Android, it never worked, but the edge gestures gives that. :)

Bluetooth works quite nicely.

Battery is doing well and not getting heated.

I haven't used the N6 for calls and sms yet, for I have to change the sim to a nano sim.

Quite pleased!:)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
The manager is used to download modules and can update the magisk root. You'd have the download the magisk 17 and flash it. Then you'll have root.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
I already have root, flashed the ROM, Gapps and Magisk, the standard way. Magisk Manager was installed from the apk later. I have an N5 too, and there it asked for permissions, at the first time with Magisk Manager. Here in N6 with Pixel Dust, it didn't. So, the question.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Gotcha. Since it was my first time using magisk this year I just downloaded the root checker app from the playstore just to make sure. Pixel dust is pretty nice? I'm using nitro at the moment.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Very nice. :)

Still don't have the nano sim.

Don't know much about Magisk; still reading about it. I've been using custom roms just about a month. Learning...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
[MENTION=5044214]nitin.chobhe[/MENTION]

Inserted the nano sim. Calls don't show who calls, but the sound is there. No way to answer the call. There's also a vibration, which cannot be disabled. The battery started depleting much faster, maybe because of the vibration. Must check other roms too, in this case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
That's at your end. Calls work as expected. To start with check the app permissions for the phone/ dialer app.

Vibration won't affect largely to the battery. Battery backup is dependent on too many factors to tell exactly what's causing drain in your case.

Flash Stock First?

Hi!

Happy to see additions to the ROM collection for the Shamu. I have an operational procedure question before I attempt to move to Pie again.

In the PixelDust Rom OP for the Pixels phones themselves, it states that all phones must revert to the latest stock image in order to gather the latest deep layer stuff like radios, baseband updates and what-nots to move into Pie. Also I see in this OP the reflash to latest stock image is also noted (appears to be a copy of the Pixel OP).

On my Shamu when I first used the Nitrogen Pie Rom, although I got a boot and it seems to work OK but with time I encountered more problems than I could not cure or diagnose that I eventually had to reflash back to the last Nitrogen 8.1. The phone is very stable on that platform but now I'm uncomfortable with the lack of security updates.

I looked at my base band on my phone and noticed I'm still using a 42R radio and baseband composite - way ancient now. I have to assume other critical code is also ancient.

So the question is then, does this Nexus 6 phone have to reflash to Oct 2017 stock and then to Pixeldust. Additionally, should this also be done if going to Nitrogen Pie ROM. Thanks

Update: Went forward with OP having the latest image installed - did see the bootloader, etc all updated; however, that procedure encrypted the phone and hence now all Pie Roms will not work. OP supplied a procedure in Post 44 (glockman4519) to reformat partition and rebuild phone from there. After this thing is encrypted, you have to format data to get rid of the encrypted partition; but my click the format button didn't go as the video. The phone refused to drop, drag, paste into the phone. The procedure I used was from [MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION] (msg# 10442) over at the Nitrogen Pie forum. They had just gone through this fix with another guy a week ago. Had to find the old computer with my adb on it and push all zip files over including a Twrp recovery img file. Installed normal from there - the PixelDust kernal took care of the issues left behind caused by the nuke switch. Done! Bottom line - re flashing last Oct 2017 image will encrypt your phone and you will have to get out the various conditions it can leave leave you in.

Update Update: Been about 7 days now of constant use - been smooth as advertised - no issues like first attempt to get into Pie. No battery issues what-so-ever. Apparently, the latest image is necessary!?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Whatever necessary permission was given to the dialer app. When the call came through, I heard the call, but nothing was shown, so couldn't answer. I flashed another PIE rom few minutes ago, and the caller can be seen and I can answer. (I'm going to check all the roms available.)

Anyway, I want come back to your Rom later. I like the side and bottom gestures without the navbar. Is it possible to not to have that vibration, that is, a way to disable it? I simply don't like vibration sound. Swipe from left or right it vibrates. It'd be nice, if vibrations can be disabled in all.

The battery is quite good. The phone is just 13 months old. :)

EDIT: I re-flashed Nitogen. It doesn't have all the bling of Pixel Dust, but has the edge gestures which I learned how to use. Battery is holding on quite well with Nitrogen. In a few days, I'd re-flash to Pixel D to check. Sort of like the simplicity of Nitrogen. :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
Are gapps needed for this rom? Please provide link. Thank you.:o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, they are needed for now. Use nano from opengapps.org,

I'm planning to build next build with gapps.

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
Thanks, sounds good.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
Sweet rom, but is there a way to delete the google search bar, or maybe lower it? Thanks to you, i'm still rocking my N6.:D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
I don't know if it's the same as nitrogen, I went back to my usual Nova launcher since I didn't find a way myself.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:
I'm sorry .
[Nexus 6 Android Development] spezi77:
This question is against XDA forum rules. Don't expect an answer. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
As I mentioned earlier, I moved to Nitrogen. Everything works smoothly there. The edge gestures are smoother, and no vibration. It doesn't get heated, when apps are used and battery is not draining as it was with Pixel Dust. The phone got quite hot while charging here, but with Nitrogen, it charged faster at first, keeping the temperature around 31C (there was a notification) and after passing 75%, the charging became slower, and by the time, it reached 90% and more, the phone got cooler, practically down to the room temperature. With Pixel Dust, the phone got very hot while and the end of charging.

Here the dialer didn't show the caller, only sound. No way to check, who was calling or answer. With Nitrogen, everything worked, even the camera, that is, the default camera didn't have an icon, so nothing to click on. So, I force stopped and disabled it and installed OpenCamera. It complained that there is another camera app running, so I rebooted the system. And, OpenCamera worked. Some problems can be cleared with rebooting the system.

I was thinking of re-flashing Pixel Dust, downloaded it again. Read the whole thread again, and decided not to flash this release-two-20181111-1637 ROM again, as it was the same ROM, I flashed before. I'd await the next build to test it out.

Hope what I wrote above gives a feedback. :)

Take care!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] girkev:
Smooth very responsive.

Occasionally GUI crash.

After all it's a prerelease.

Thanks for keeping Shamu alive.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] girkev:
I had a couple of shutdowns.

Suddenly not to explain.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You need to explain :) How's your battery when it shutdown? What happened after reboot? Battery level?

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] girkev:
Yeah. Battery level showed 20%.

But is wasn't It was in TWrRP about 8%

After reboot no disruptive events
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
Then that's your battery. You'll have to change it.

This might help you for few days...

RescueParty into TWRP

Coming from the last build of PureNexus, did a full wipe, upgraded to the latest TWRP for Shamu, flashed Pixel Dust, open GApps, and Magisk, starts to boot, gets to a "trace your pattern" screen (my security is via pin), then shuts down and reboots before I can do anything. If I'm fast enough, I can trace something, and it gives an error message about needing a factory reset (again, I'm encrypted with a pin, not a pattern), then it boots up into TWRP with the message "RescueParty."

Have tried to wipe and reflash a few times, always the same.

Thoughts?

UPDATE:

Disregard. Formatted data to remove encryption, now it boots up fine.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Two problems;

1) The recents are only Oreo, not Pie. Marking it Pie won't change it.

2) The animated navigation gestures gives out a vibration sound, which cannot be disabled. All vibration sounds are disabled, to no avail.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] girkev:
1The battery is not broken. It's some bug in all Android 9 Roms.

I got a full battery cycle with Android 8.1.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
1) already acknowledged and fixed, but facing some other issues and I'm not getting enough time to work on them

2) We'll have to live with it - may be search for an app to minimise/ disable vibrations

Then you'll have to make a choice ;)

Nitin
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ostrolk:
Sorry for troubling you.

This fixed ROM would be in the next release, or would it be in this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
The release that will come next.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] fueled:
Hi,

iam on Nitrogen and uptodate with it. I was just surfing xda and found that another pie rom for shamu is being maintained by you.

:o

lol what is making this rom different from Nitro ?

iam confused and this is making me wanna try lol. but its better if you just tell me the difference.:D
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
I tried Pixel Dust for a couple of weeks and loved it. The main advantage is the great additional range of customisations, especially themes and clock positioning, for example. Unfortunately something in my setup caused occasional reboots, so I reverted to NOS, but I have a Pixel Dust TWRP backup and I plan on going back as soon as Nitin releases a new version.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
Yes me too got multiple soft reboots with almost clean install.

This rom with all this crazy bunch of custom features will be the best in the future. Thanks nitin:good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Danny 0311:
Great rom, with excellent battery life. Add a blinking or pulsing LED for notifications, and it will be the best that i've ever used. You're the best Nitin.:good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hbilaiya:
Hey! Anyone having weird battery issues? I need to switch off my device to charge it to 100%. Otherwise, it would stop charging at 66% and heat up like crazy. Also, battery dies at 35-40%, without ever reaching 0%. Phone starts switching off when battery is low.

I haven't experienced such an issue in other ROMs, below pie 9.0 :crying:

Everything else is great. But battery issue is major setback for me, as I use Nexus 6 with this ROM as my daily driver.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Seriously, have you not looked up "battery problems" in this or any XDA thread? Your battery is finished. Buy a new one. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tichyline:
Many thanks for this amazing ROM. You did a great job!

I like my Nexus 6 and thanks to you and your team I can enjoy the new features and keep my mobile :)

I already ordered a new battery, because with PIE I can feel that little more power is needed :cool:

Only if always on display is enabled my mobile is always warm.

It is amazing fast and I didn't find any specific bug, only LED and search - mentioned already. It's my daily driver!

Looking forward for your new release!

Best wishes on you and team
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mahir555:
No it is not working

Any news about a new update with a fixed led?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tichyline:
To all people that have battery problems.

Two days ago I replaced my battery.

First issue I had before was poor battery life and reboots.

Second was the heating.

Now, battery life is good again and no reboots!

First day I had still heating problems, but after second recharge and a hard reboot everything seems to be just fine.

I didn't get time to work on this. Last time, I built with gapps to avoid issues with Pie recents. But in that build we were having issues with Contacts app - the contacts were not syncing as per [MENTION=4980030]rfactor117[/MENTION]

[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Nitin, I've been using PD for several hours now. I restored my November backup and dirty-flashed the new one. Whereas the November version had occasional reboots, this new one has been absolutely fine, and I'm very pleased to have the PD customisations back again.

Thanks for this excellent ROM. I love your Nitrogen, but if this one remains as stable as it has been all day it will be the best ROM I've ever had.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hasitCN:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Nitin, I realised after reading these phone posts this morning that I hadn't had any phone calls, which didn't surprise me - no friends... :)

But when I tried my phone, which I downloaded from Play (version 29, updated again this morning by Play), sure enough it didn't work. I don't know if Google have made an error in offering the wrong version to me (I'm on the beta channel), or if it's an error still in my setup somewhere, but after the phone upgrade the device has repeatedly immediately shut down (as if with dead battery, despite 90% charge).

I've reverted to your ultra-stable Nitrogen, and immediately got a couple of voicemails from yesterday and this morning.

I'll definitely try any new version of PD that you create.

Please regard this only as information and not a complaint - it's very likely that the error is something in my setup and not within PD.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yhwh111:
Hi everyone...Nitin, you're the best thank you for the effort and time you put into this work, just state of the art ROM. So far is running great. Have only a question an I know is not an issue with the ROM itself, have anyone got the face unlock working? Again thank you Nitin very appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rfactor117:
As mentioned earlier download Google Phone from the play store...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer

I have clean flashed PD OS 20 times in the last month... It works perfectly every time.

Just make sure you allow the permissions and set Google Phone to default dialer.

Hope this helps ?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dahawthorne:
Thanks - I did do all these things, but started getting a dialogue warning about "phone not supported" even after updating this morning from Play, and it was then that it started with the immediate "Shutting down" dialogue box. Since I got random reboots on the November PD, I reckon that there's something about my device, hardware or software, that's causing the glitch. Maybe one day I'll devote a morning to a clean PD flash, but for the moment I'm happy with Nitrogen.

Thanks for the follow-up.

For those who wants to get rid of warning about non-supported phone, system need to contain next files:

/system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.dialer.support.xml
/system/etc/sysconfig/dialer_experience.xml
/system/framework/com.google.android.dialer.support.jar

And google phone APK

/system/priv-app/GoogleDialer/GoogleDialer.apk

Attached file contain needed files, how to use it:

1) Download Google Phone APK (from APKMirror for example)

2) Rename it to GoogleDialer.apk

3) Open attached file and put renamed APK in Google_dialer_unsupported_patch_twrp.zip\system\priv-app\GoogleDialer

4) Flash through TWRP

5) Done ;)

Attached file already contains Google Phone APK v. 28.0.231437689 (latest from Google Play)
