[Nexus 6P Android Development] dispos:
just installing now.

look nice, what kernel for more performance? let me know
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sage of six paths:
I'm not using any kernel per se, i'm using nfs and that's it. However whom ever made the rom made an excellent job since right now after first full charge rom is at 50% battery 2h and 50 mins of sot. So will likely get over 5h of sot for my use which is awesome, and it might even improve slightly in the coming days till the rom and nfs settle properly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
When did you replace your battery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Raverrevolution:
Sorry for the bonehead questions I'm about to ask, but I need some help here. I tried to find the Carbon FAQ on the website beforehand, but there's like no link to it whatsoever so this is the only place I can ask.

Now mind you I'm no novice at flashing roms, but I've been out of the scene for a long time now. Right now I have an old stock rom on this phone and it's running like absolute crap so I want to erase everything and take a new rom out for a spin in hopes to make things more snappy. This one caught my eye.

Question 1) In the install instructions 1 says to flash the newest factory image. Is this an absolute must? I'm on stock 8.1.0, unlocked bootloader, TWRP installed. I'm sure there's probably nothing newer for this phone than 8.1. Can I just download the rom + gapps, format it all in TWRP, and then install or am I going to royally screw anything up?

Question 2) Can anyone point me to the correct Gapps to use. With so many options these days I really don't want to make the wrong choice, then find the right ones, and have to reinstall.

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sage of six paths:
If your 8.1 is on the december update your good to go, if not flash that one.

If it is you need the fbe recovery for this rom, and all the roms form pixelboot. Aslo for latest lineage 16.

Flash that recovery over the one you have and reboot to recovery, flash rom and gapps, i always have the delete cache and dalvik cache ticked.

After that i go to fastboot and type fastboot -w to delete data, it's probably fine to do the factory format from within twrp.

After that boots i return to twrp to flash magisk, and then download the magisk manager, some roms don't need it, some do.

To use the correct gapps you can just go to open gapps website and pick arm64 9.0 and then the flavour you wish nano, pico or higher.

Make sure you flash open gapps right after rom and then reboot otherwise you might have problems. Just pick the ones with the latest security patch. Thats about it.

You can find an fbe recovery in the pixel experience rom thread, 3rd or 4th post below.

Maybe a month ago, two at the very most. In the end after first charge the battery life will round at about 4.30h which is about the same i get on aosp right now.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Hey [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] can you try building Havoc? Im sorry for asking like this but I would appreciate it. Id do it myself but I have zero knowledge.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PixelBoot:
Will try.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Thanks Bro. Appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] phantom146:
I would say a no to this since Havoc and most LineageOS based stuffs in 6p are buggy as of now. Having 3 roms to maintain most likely aren't your hands full lol?

Btw I applaud you for this, you are making our Anglers alive again! And Carbon is running as perfect and as smooth as possible! Kudos!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
If you are requesting something from [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] also consider donating too, so it helps him out. I have donated as i used both of his roms, Pixel Experience and DotOS 3.0
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
That's a personal opinion there. I've been on damn near every aicp build they put out, and there's two ROMs that I frequent, and that's one of them
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
Which one, LineageOS?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Aicp is built on LOS yes
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sufy1000:
I'm currently running LineageOS 15.1 based on Oreo on my Nexus 6P. Runs great.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] phantom146:
Afaik semdoctold me that AICP isn' purely based on LoS anymore. He said it's now multi based with some from Aosp and Statix itself
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Aosp and CAF have always worked hand in hand.

Edit: and by this I mean cm was predominantly caf, because it allowed them an easier time making custom ROMs for phones as opposed to trying to use pure aosp. I've heard nothing stating otherwise when it switched to los.

But they have always used aosp code hand in hand with caf. So sure, they might use more aosp than other los ROMs, they might use a bunch of kernel commits, but until they move to an aosp base, its a los base.

And to that end, google also uses some caf in their source.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] phantom146:
Of course google uses caf that's where the open source coding comes so google can steal codes from others.

At the very least, I still hope Lineage shows a shed of interest in angler. Atm the device git is dead.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Wouldn't hold your breath, this device has had the worst press of all the nexus units, and with good merits thanks to China using ****ty components.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
You asked same thing in other thread ,,,,Check My Reply,,,,Almost every rom can do that using smart bar
[Nexus 6P Android Development] phantom146:
Fingers crossed that [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] will update this beautiful rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PixelBoot:
Officially that is.

Please be patient.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] phantom146:
Yes I am, tha ks for all your hardwork mate ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
[MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] any chance of a FDE build?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PixelBoot:
FDE is a dying trend.

FBE is the new system used.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Well we need an updated FBE Recovery compatible with May Patches and Onwards ..
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
rip.

pie on the 6p (apart from aicp) is only useable when paired with a custom kernel (such as SuperUber), but most kernels are not compatible with fbe.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
There's a lot more than aicp, but believe the sky is falling if you want.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] :
Can you link me the Kernel?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
No. I don't cross reference development threads in someone else's thread, that's disrespectful as hell.

Try looking for it, its in this same sub forum, literally ten threads below this.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
I also am interested in this nardow, and we aren't the only ones. There are users that only want to use FDE. I am not on the side of 'fde is dead' no disrespect meant [MENTION=8086838]PixelBoot[/MENTION] I just disagree. And there are others that agree. FDE is perfectly fine imo. Some Devs are offering both, some still just FDE. Again, I mean no disrespect.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Superuber hasn't been updated in a long long time. Over a year I think, unless someone else picked it up that I haven't seen. It was an excellent kernel though. The dev was a good dude.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PixelBoot:
Sorry for taking your opinion harsh.

I was going to transfer to FDE for you as it is less in your way than FBE, (Remember? :silly:) however the new file system is using FBE and it is more convenient in reality.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
wtf?

aicp's kernel is the most stable one out of all pie roms on angler (i'm not trash talking other roms, just stating a fact)

true, but the last build still works with fde pie roms
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
I never accused you of trash talking, if I thought that, my post would have reflected it

I said you're acting like the sky is falling, which you were/are. There's six fbe only based ROMs, with four ROMs that build fde. Also I've used the stock kernel on multiple builds of each of them, and they run fairly well for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nardow:
wdym? im not acting like the sky is falling (lmao chicken little)

out of the 4 fde pie roms, aicp's kernel provides the closest experience we had with oreo kernels.

ive also used multiple builds of the fbe roms and they run ok (not as good as aicp tho) but phone gets too hot and idle drain is too high. this means bad battery time which means bad overall experience which means not usable without a custom kernel.

anyway, this is unrelated to this thread
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Agreed i myself tried every pie Rom,,,But The Magical Pie Rom Ever for nexus 6p is Aicp...No doubt you can use that Rom without Custom Kernel ,,,Because its own kernel is super dooper,,, Though i am using savagezens Aosip pie build kernel the Reason is Custom Kernel can give you more control ,,,Otherwise i didn't feel the need of any custom Kernel over Aicp...

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

Can you please share the link of Super Uber working with pie Rom
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
What [MENTION=3405647]piixe[/MENTION]lboot ? Come on now, no reason to apologize to me at all. Yeah man, of course I remember lol And I told you to forget about it, especially if it would too much of a hassle. I realize you guys do this mostly for nothing, and it's time consuming, but i didn't want to cause you any extra trouble or work. I do appreciate you even considering.

Here, I was simply stating that there are users that don't want to go through the hassle of switching back and forth. If you want to switch from one to the other and then back, I'm not sure how that's convenient. I would love to try your stuff, from what I see in these threads, it's really good work and people like it. But unfortunately, it's not worth it.

SuperUbeR-L-R2.43-angler-20180907.zip

SuperUbeR-U-R2.43-angler-20180907.zip

no idea what's the difference between the L and U versions. these kernels should work with any oreo (8.1) rom and pie (fde).
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Thank u bro will definitely try?

Edit: i have downloaded the U version don't know whats the difference ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Sheetzie03:
L is Linaro

U is Uber/Uberstock(I think)

Pretty sure they are different kernel toolchains. Google Linaro vs Uber/ Uberstock, you'll see what the difference is. Otherwise I think there are others in here that can explain it a lot better than me.

When I was a daily participants in the devs Telegram for this kernel last year, Linaro was the one everyone would use for battery life just to let you know.

:good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Thank you bro for Such A Helpful Information,,,i will also download the L version and Lets See,,,,i will try it on Aosp beta Fde based Rom.

Hope it works,,,,i really wish franco kernel also works with this Rom Cause With Fk kernel manager it Runs Very Well...?

And I'm Not Going again to Fbe based Sooner,,,Cause for me they all are same ,,,And that Formatting Your Phone Again And Again Is pain In Ass for Me,,,,
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
Lol, I actually never thought about trying SuperUber with Pie, but SuperUber was my favorite kernel for Oreo, so I will definitely try it. Thanks!

I will try Night Mare lets C
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
That's why you try them all for a couple days.

No person or words on paper will tell you what's best for you. It just educates you as to what they do.

As far as custom kernels go though, most devs have what they feel are the best general settings right out of the box unless they state otherwise. But give a few a run and see what works.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Your Right ,,,The Best Bet would be to try them all.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] CYoung234:
Okay, I went back and tried both of these on my current FDE ROM. Neither one quite works - the phone keeps rebooting every few minutes. Close, but too bad, as these are great kernels. Oh, I was always partial to Alucard and tripndroid for CPU Governors.

UPDATE: I tried a clean flash of the ROM I am using, and now SuperUber is working fine. Not sure why, as a dirty flash should have been sufficient to start with the stock kernel. At any rate, all is wel.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
i tried it on the Stock,,,For Many Days i have been Going back and forth b/w custom And Stock

Don't know where to settle cause i have been digging old Roms Like Tried Firehound ,,,Abc Rom even old like S.i.x Rom Haha,,,

One of the best/fastest rom i ever used in my nexus 6p,,,,,its been a month since I'm using this rom,,,insanely fast for an old hardware ,,,,Love this Rom,,

Thanks Dev.

A must try rom if you haven't already.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] anonymous992:
Where in this rom is the ota option? I searched for this but I only found in the devolper tools the option to automatically install new updates on reboot. I deactivated them because I only want that the updater notify me if they are updates for my device but not automatically install them because I prefer to flash this manually.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] abdullahk6809:
Yes there isn't any ota option,,,,i updated by downloading the file from OP and flash it through twrp,,,there isn't any system update option in settings or in carbon menu
[Nexus 6P Android Development] PixelBoot:
It is found in the widgets menu as a setting icon. :fingers-crossed:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] niks_5in:
is this better then pixyos
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Lawlrus:
Don't come into a devs thread and ask if another rom is better than his, not only is it disrespectful , it's pointless due to it being a situational question. "Better" means nothing. This is just a lazy ass cop out just like you asking for people to hold your hand with the recovery question. READ THE OP, then run this rom for a few days, make a backup and try another and see what works BEST FOR YOU.

If you don't have time to try things out yourself, or read an op that the dev was nice enough to explain the process well, you really shouldn't try to be part of a community that is based on learning. This isn't a help desk for you to rice your phone.

Doesn't it tell you what it's doing in the setting? I tried it once when it was new till I figured out it was ass and breaks context menus. But I'm pretty sure it states what it is doing

It lets you shut down a % of screen pixels.
