Thanks [MENTION=6114272]Sanabil[/MENTION], looks like I'll be going back to Nightly 01/05. Boy, did this latest update cause me some headaches.

I tried flashing GApps as suggested, but apparently the system partition wasn't big enough on the 31/05 update for the Stock version of GApps. So I thought maybe I needed to do a factory reset (which I guess you have to do when reflashing GApps anyway?) ... still no luck. So then I tried with the Mini version which worked, but then during the device setup, the keyboard wasn't showing up and it kept telling me that the "Voice Keyboard wasn't available for this field" when I tried to input my credentials :(

Checking the GApps website, I compared the 2 versions and Mini doesn't come with Google Keyboard (??!?!?!) so............................ :confused::confused::confused:

Is the 31/05 Nightly actually using a smaller system partition or was it a device issue? Would love to know if anyone else had this problem and how to get around it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
The partition has the same size as always. But the free space differs on each build. 31/5 has a bit less free space as I added back some fonts as requested by some users.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
[MENTION=1582188]ChubbsMcBeef[/MENTION] you can reflash Gapps any time you want without issues. It can actually "save" some space on userdata partition as this will remove updates.

If you want to have stuff from stock package but don't have the space for it, use gapps-config.txt. You can choose which apps to exclude/include.

Here's mine (everything here is excluded whilst flashing):

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Can you please explain a bit further or point me towards a tutorial on how to do it? I flash stock gapps and always get unwanted apps too.

Thank you ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
just reflashed today build.did aclean install from cr droid to lineage 17.1. So far so good. Will we get the june 2020 security patches in the next set of nightlies. .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChubbsMcBeef:
Thanks [MENTION=5449847]Lawstorant[/MENTION] – I ended up being able to flash the Stock GApps on the latest 03/06 Nightly build, but I'll definitely remember that for next time. Cheers :good:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I need some more days, as I didn't have the time yet to update the kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
no rush. take your time.i was just wondering.so far so good.waht ever rogue app was draining my device has disappeared after i did a clean flash. Then i ended up installing one app at a time to se what was the cause. i think it was just some third party rogue app doing its battery draining.have not had anything like that after the june 3 flash.rock solid and now on the efficient battery power setting the device is now getting what it was getting on lineage 16.0 builds of yours.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JaimeZX:
THIS.

THIS RIGHT HERE, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IS WHAT THE INTERNET IS ALL ABOUT. (And cat pics.)

I'm all grumpy, all upset because dammit WHY DOESN'T BT WORK FOR PHONE CALLS? I decide to search this thread before posting, and... voila!

I disabled GA Voice Assistant. All is well. Rarely used it anyway. :)

THANKS ELEKTROSCHMOCK!

THANKS PINAKINI & STEVEYOUNG.

THANKS INTERNET! :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
I flashed the the latest nightly using TWRP and my whole gapps were gone replaced by Lineage apps, it never happened before. Is it normal? Or did i messed up something?

Anyways i reflashed gapps and they are working.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gothmog123:
Hi Eletroschmock, sorry to bother, do you think you might be able to look into why I might be having mobile data issues in LoS17? It's impeccable in 16. I'm flashing back and forth and same result :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
You need to describe in detail what exactly are "issues", what happens or does not happen (is the problem sporadic or constant), when does it/they occur, what was different about behaviour in LOS 16, etc. and post a logcat if you want help.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
This, and please use the official way to report a bug. I don't have the time to scan through the post and look for things you already tried. It's just easier for us to track.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
I also have problems with mobile data. Had it since I Android 9. Is there a guide on how to make a logcat and report the problem correctly?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
People - I searched for this esoteric topic "How to report a bug on XDA". Imagine in .03 seconds this link came up:

https://xdaforums.com/wiki/Reporting_A_Problem_-_Android

Then using the same secret but nevertheless Nobel Prize winning search techniques looking for "how to generate logcat XDA", this unbelievably came up:

You gotta make a little common sense effort first.

afte an OtA to june 4 build, noticed the oddest thig with june 4 build.that the AOSP apps have reappered even i had original flashed stock gapps. Also play store has disappeared.i wanted to report this before i flash the june 4 build cleanly and ssee if this happens again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
This happened to me too.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
ended up clean flashing this morning june 4 build again an stock gapps again and now all the AOSp apps are not there as well as my google playstore has returned. As i stated when i did the OTA, play store had been removed from my apps and that AOSp apps had been installed. now i am curious if this behavior will happen again for the next OTA. as this has never happened with either lineage 16 or 17.1 OTA's in the past.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
Did you try just reflashing your GApps before doing the clean install? That should've been all you needed to do.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
I am not receiving any notifications on whatsapp or am i receiving any missed calls or calls when my phone is at idle with screen off, how ever when i turn it on and manually open apps they start functioning normally. I dont know if its in Gapps or latest nightly. Anyone else having this problem?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Update

It seems to work fine now..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
ES-thanks for the 10 June Nightly update - just gets better and better
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrBrady:
Anyone else bootlooping after taking the 6/10/20 OTA update? I've taking many OTA updates, but yesterday's seems to have killed my phone.

Edit: Maybe it was a bad OTA download or something. I manually downloaded 6/10/20 on my computer, transferred it to my phone in Lineage Recovery and flashed it. Booted right up.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jdranzer:
+1

I've already downloaded the 20200610 build and flashed it manually but bootloop remains (I have TWRP+Magisk)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
I also have TWRP and Magisk , i have flashed the latest build and have no issues. Check your Gapps or maybe some other app is causing it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Yesterday, I discovered that incoming text messages (SMS) are not triggering notification, when my N6 is not in use, when the display is inactive. The notification for incoming message is not displayed and no sound is played, until I activate the display and open the app again.

Message logs state that the messages were received the same minute they were sent, so I guess it is just the notification that doesn't work. Other messenger services, like Threema, are not effected: notification is shown/played as soon as a message is received. I already checked battery and power settings for the SMS app, but every thing looks o.k.

I'm on nightly 20200610. Does any one else suffer the same?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
Yes. The messages headsup is not showing. Other messaging apps work fine.

.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Anything a user can do about this? Would another SMS app work better?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] linus207:
Try google messeges or textra.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ReneZeiss:
My every day game Pokemon Go announced that they will not support 32-bit phones from August.

Does that mean that I must look out for a replacement? Our N6 is 32-bit isn't it?

It's running so nice at the moment, I don't want to replace it due to this...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Thanks for the hint about other messengers. I installed Signal, and until now it did not make me miss any SMS.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Yes Nexus 6 is 32 bit. Maybe you can use the current app until it is blocked on server side.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] woodsticks:
Hello,

Question, When I try to flash the any ok f the gapps, I receive: Signature verification failed, error 21.

Is that normal? Just update anyway?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] linus207:
Seems like you have corrupted download od bad version od gapps. Try ARM nano for android 10 from open gapps.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
I've found as a general rule that if you can open the zip and Windows doesn't complain then the zip is OK.

In TWRP Settings uncheck the top checkbox "Zip signature verification" and try flashing again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrBrady:
I'm having an issue getting Google Duo to work properly. When I answer a Duo call, my video doesn't show but I am able to see the caller's video. Duo does have permission to access my camera. Camera in other apps works fine and when I open Duo I can see myself. It's just when on a Duo call it doesn't work - it just spins on "Loading video" and doesn't have an icon to enable or disable video - almost like it doesn't see I have a video camera.

The caller does see my video, but my video does not show on my end.

Anybody else notice this? I'm on the 6/10 build. I've tried both Stock and Nano gapps (originally on stock, now on nano).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maddog3030:
Same here!...... Works on wifi not on LTE.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
What version of TWRP? May be too old. Check for latest version.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] linus207:
Battery life on last build is just fantastic. 7h SOT. My nexuses (got 2 of them) have new batteries installed 2 months ago, but anyway, last update gave me like 18% progress.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] woodsticks:
I'm using LOS Recovery, I've tried to flash nano, micro, mini, stock, all with the same error and the MD5's match.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maddog3030:
Currently, the only GApps compatible with this new addon.d system (deemed addon.d-v2) is MindTheGApps. OpenGApps addon.d script in its current form is too complicated for addon.d-v2 to handle (as A/B was never meant to handle this sort of thing), though we’ve reached out, and alerted them what needs to be done. If you wish to make your addon.d mod v2 compliant, please look.......ECT.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
Can you help me find a new battery ?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Castle 1401:
Hello Electro. I just have a question bordering me alot. Back to years ago. I read a topic about Google and Moto forced nexus 6 from 4 cores to 2 cores when battery is below 40% . And they said this is kernel level thing. If it is really so, do you still keep that feature in this rom kernel ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
No, I removed that feature. But it also has It's backdraws. People with half dead batteries may suffer from sudden shutdowns. AS a rule of thumb: If you have shutdowns replace your battery and don't blame the ROM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Yes it is.

I am using opengapps nano myself.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Castle 1401:
It's great to hear that. I really hate that thing back when i use other roms making phone so stutter and slow. And yeah replacing battery, I changed mine and no more suddenly shutdown.

Thank you for you answer. And great rom you have there !

But I can't find it, nor in settings, neither among widgets. How do I get this nice clock in my lock screen?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
thanks for the new build.lots of changes from what i saw in the change log on the lineage download page.

Hi Elektroschmock

Can you please have a look into the code why 17.1 is asking me to secure my phone (Set screen lock to protect your phone) although I have a PIN. When I hit that notification which appears on top of the settings menu, it asks for the PIN but says it's wrong.

This started with the previous update like about two weeks ago.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
here's a question. i dont know since this was never happening on lineage 16.0. i wonder when the device is ssitting on the charger fora charge and its charging it will get very hot to the touch.if thedevice is turned of fora few minutes, then the device will cool down an everything will be fine. before you say new battery. i do have a new battery in the device. so i am wondering if there are any over heating issues with lineage 17.1. So don't know.i will have to investigate this with other android 10 roms.this was never an issue for me on android 8 .1 and 9 roms. So wondering what it could be. i don't know if this issue can be logged with a log cat or not.so that is another reason why i am asking .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
Use wireless charging, it never gets hot.

Using the quick charger does make it hot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mahir555:
I have the same problem. Am in hot part of the world . While in summer once i connect the original turbo charger the device became too sluggish sometimes to the point that I can't use it. 10 minutes later its temperature rises to 45° . I couldn't solve this until I used a regular Samsung charger ( for mybold S4) & i have to live with the slow charge voltage..

This happened to me with all shamu 10 roms and 9 pie too.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Can you say any numbers how hot 'hot' is?

It's normal that a battery is getting warmer when beeing charged. The higher the charging current the warmer it gets.

Also there are some safeguards like throtteling charging currnt and cpu frequencies when it gets really hot.

Thats not a bug - thats a feature. ;)

CPU frequencies are lowered to stop your device from overheating.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
Elektroschmock, dont know . how can i find out.also if its going to get hot when quick charging. i can just turn it off and live with it charging that way.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
When I choose "pure black" for dark mode, the automatic switching between dark and bright mode seems to malfunction. The phone will either stay in dark mode or in bright mode, but it will not switch automatically at dawn or sunrise. When I use the normal dark mode instead of "pure black", everything works as expected.

Could someone else please try and check this?

WiFi problems

Hi ES - Been having WiFi problems (it turns off and requires a lot of button pushing -WiFi on/off, Airplane Mode on/off etc. to get it back. Has gotten slightly worse since the 6.17 update. I have attached the error report. I have checked every setting I can think of regarding power use, controller, permissions, etc. and it all seems ok.

Otherwise the ROM is really great, and even this problem is more an annoyance than super serious. But maybe you can have a look and see if indeed it is some sort of bug ? Danke
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
No. The automatic mode works perfect for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
I don't know whether it is related, but wifi hotspot was unstable for me. Disabling bluetooth fixed it.

When I looked at my logs, it would seem that the wifi chip crashed. As the wifi firmware is closed source, I assume that the problem is unfixable, so I never reported it.

That disabling bluetooth helps is not as crazy as it sounds. Because the same chip handles both wifi and bluetooth AFAIK.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Hi- thanks but I never have bluetooth running or active.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zzenyoo:
Localization? Phone don't know where you are (down/sunrise).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:

Localization is set to automatic. I will keep an eye on this and look for any clues.

I see a new TWRP is out (version 3.4.0-0). It would appear it has support for encryption. Would ES or anyone else care to comment about encryption working with 17.1 for Shamu?

Thank you so much and continued gratitude to ES for keeping my Shamus alive. They remain the best phones I have ever had.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Encryption is and was always working on shamu.

Previous versions of TWRP were not able to decrypt shamu's data partition if it was encrypted wit Android 8 or later.

I don't know if TWRP 3.4.0-0 is able to decrypt it now, as I don't use TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
just flashed the twrp 3.4 recovery to shamu. We will se what happens with the next lineage build.i may just do a clean flash with the new twrp 3.4. recovery to se what happens.i wont encrypt as i am already decrypted.

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

notice the same thing with wifi with june 24 build. went back to the june 17 build and wi fi no issue and wifi speeds ar normal.on june 24 build wifi speed are about 1 tenth the speed test results . So ffor example on june 17 build on my fiber network i am pulling down 450 down and 100 up.but on june 24 build i am pushing down 50 down and 15 up.that is a drastic hit which i dont understand why.i even tdid the same speed test with the cr droid build from june 9 and the result of 445 down and 125 up. So i dont get why the june 24 build is giving poor drastic wifi results with speed tests.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Installed the new twrp on my phone, and it seems to work just fine, but i'm still on los 15 or some such
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gettes:
Right. I worded my question wrong. My apologies if I insinuated it was a Shamu problem. I appreciate your prompt and correcting reply. I will try and find some time to test this out.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gettes:
And the answer is: the new TWRP does NOT decrypt for 17.1.

bummer.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mithic:
Hi to all!!!

and especially thanks to ES by (still) taking care to our beloved Nexus 6!!!:)

Anyway today i decided to pass from LOS 15.1 to 17.1 (never installed 16.1).

I've had twrp 3.3.1.0 and i replace it with 3.4.0.0.... but when i decide to go back to previous edition (3.3.1.0)

unfortunately it was impossible because the new twrp couldn't see the files from the phone!!!!:(

So...it was time to give a try to LOS 17.1. :)

I've install the los recovery, rom and pico opengapps but when i was on adb instalation for gapps appear a msg "signature verification gapps failed" and a msg on the device "do you want to install anyway? I gave OK and everything gone with succeed. :confused:

Now i will setup the device and see how it's going...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
There are lot of changes in the update log regarding Bluetooth. Will we get the Bluetooth calling working as in Los 16 without any workarounds? Anything related to that? Please confirm - anybody who are well with codes. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
You could try installing it and see how it works for you!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
[slightly OT (sorry)]

I heard a rumour that Android 'S' (12?) will be 64bit-only. Looks like the end of the road is in sight for Shamu. We've had an amazing run and I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of this phone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
I said update log, which is not yet released. Please read the update log. Ironically this post was thanked also.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Let's just wait and see which LOS version will be the last and final version for the N6, when A12 will be out. Overall, version 17.1 is already working very well and makes this "old" phone an incredible device! When A12 will be out, and LOS 17.x (or 18.x, who knows?) is going to work (nearly) perfectly, I see no urge to throw away the N6 just because I will not be able to run A12 on it. The N6 offers every thing I need on a mobile phone/device, so I will keep it running as long as technically possible.

---------- Post added at 10:44 ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 ----------

There are two questions I asked in other threads [here and here], I'd like to point to.

tl;dr:

Is it possible, to partition the N6's storage in two parts, so that personal data can be encrypted and leave things like maps, music and videos on the unencrypted partition? In previous LOS versions, I experienced apps being slowed down a bit by encrypting those data, e.g. loading maps when navigating.

Is there any setting or option that would keep the telephone app from using full screen mode on incoming calls, especially when navigation is used? Or is there any app available that could force the telephone app to pick up the incoming call, but to stay in back ground?

Thanks in advance for any hint.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SteveYoungs:
Oh, I agree. I'm in no hurry to get a new device either. We can go to LOS 18 (A11) so there's still some life in the old girl yet.
