Absolutely! :)

When I bought my N6, it was not the cheapest device on the market, but compared to phones you can buy today, it was a give-away! And when I look at the features of today's devices, I am wondering what people do with all this computing power in their hands.

Do you really need 16 CPU cores and 32 Gig of RAM to make a GUI look good on a phone?

LOS is living proof that the answer to this is: "NO!"

And frankly: if a GUI needed that much CPU power and RAM, it would be a very, very bad coded GUI! (Most probably in BASIC...)

The same applies to apps: we are not talking about programs running on big mainframes here, that need to access tera bytes of data at once, we are talking about small applications that make a dump phone suitable for daily live by providing some features, like talking, texting, taking photos, navigating, dating, reading, surfing the net. If an app for purposes like these needs 32GB to run on a mobile phone, I would say the author of that app should seriously consider taking some more lessons in coding.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Aha! Sorry about that. I thought you meant updates that had been included already in the last release.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
very strange.i ended up doing a clean install of june 24 build.now my band wwith on my fiber broad band connection is now close to my download and upload speed compare to any other android or device i have on the network.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

if android 12 is goign 64bit, and that is the case we will get one more OS update to Android 11.that would probably be the end of the road depednign on if hter are othe ways to ge android 12 to the devices.you cant say never to these talented and dedicated developers on XDA. .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Let's wait and see what new features A11 will bring and what A12 will be roumered to bring along. At this moment, I can not really think of any new feature that I could not live without. Of course, there are minor issues that I would appreciate to be changed, but those things do not make me want to install a whole new Android version or even buy a new phone because my N6 can't run the newest Android version.

Things that really would make me rush to buy a new phone would have to be something like access to a world wide teleport system, so I don't need to use my car any more, or an Android phone, that can transform into a real Android to do my home work for me. Any thing less won't do!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cujo6801:
To the person having trouble with TWRP

just go to the play store download the official app and it'll allow you to download the old the build you want and install it....

And then everything would have been back to normal....

PS sometimes flashifly works as well
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
No that isn't possible. At least there is no easy way to do that. Also it wouldn't be worth doing it, as the slowdown by encryption is marginal.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
so does the lineage OTA also work for twrp 3.4 or it will only work for the lineage recovery.Just wondering . AS I had issues with the ota earlier with twrp 3.4 with a boot loop an so i had to install lineage 17.1 from july 1

2020 manually through twrp 3.4. .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Actually I don't know, as we don't actively support TWRP. We recommend Lineage Recovery as it's the only recovery we test. TWRP might/should work, but we just don't test it. TWRP for shamu is too outdated and it's based on a Android 5.0 device and kernel repository. Changes take months to go through, that's why we just don't care about TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
thanks for the info on twrp 3.4. i will stick with that as i prefer to test out diffeerent roms on the old nexus 6 as that is no longer my primary device.i have moved on to the pixel 3 A XL.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Have had TWRP 3.4 for a while, and did the 1 July OTA update with no problems. All quite smooth sailing. Enjoying ES's fine ROM work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] pinakini:
The latest update with lot of changes in Bluetooth (connectivity?) Did not solve the Bluetooth in call problem. I am a little disapointed that it did not draw the attention of the developers.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrsg:
Just want to confirm, LineageOS recovery (aka official recovery) works with an encrypted device, right?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] MrBrady:
Wanted to say thanks for the continued support. A few days ago I installed this on my kid's Nexus 6 and it runs exceedingly well. Not quite as smooth as my Pixel 2 XL, but pretty darn good for 6 year old phone on an OS that it's not offered natively. We just use this for basic things - music, YouTube, games, Duo calls, texting, etc and it all works great!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Yes, as it doesn't even access the encrypted data partition.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
For me TWRP works like a charm BUT I've been running my N6 unencrypted from day one. Saved me a great deal of trouble throughout the years.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
hav done the same ever since lineage 15.1 with the fact that twrp had issues with encryption and that is why i decrypted.now that the nexus 6 is not my primary device and is a secondary device i dont mind tinkering and keeping iit alive around as long as possible on some kind of custom rom. Now the only concerning thing is the discussion on XDA about hardware backed safety net checks and root.that is where the google referees are going to muddy the waters of romming and modding. .
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
Well, that wouldn't concern us as you need to have the hardware to support hardware safetynet checks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
Is there any way to have the date in the statusbar?

There are apps on google play but that is not what I'm after. I find some old guides involving decompile systemui and edit a xml-file but I doubt those guides will work on LOS 17.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] McMannes:
Hello friends. i cannot use Netflix with this version of lineage. Some friends said that in this thread change the linoemcrypto.so file's extension to the bak. How can i change the file extension name. Can u advice me an application. i tried some app but not working. Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You need to be rooted and need to use a decent file manager with root capability to modify the file. This assumes of course that the system partition on this ROM isn't set to ext4 dedup (i.e. read only) like stock devices on Android 10. To be honest however, I don't believe renaming the file will help. This sounds like a Safetynet issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I don't get why people bother to rename that file. Just delete it if you think it does something usefull.

Only thing it does if system can't find it is that DRM is falling from L1 to L3.

I tested netflix on an unrooted device and it was working flawlessly. Got the app from APK mirror... can't remember which version it was.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
Have not used Netflix for a year or so, but when I did, I used this version:

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/netflix-inc/netflix/netflix-4-16-4-build-200217-release/

That version from before Netflix stopped working on rooted device. Think you will have an error first time you start it, but give it another go and i think it will work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maddog3030:
Try this........

I installed Netflix I was having a problem having it startup, I found "liboemcrypto.so" in the system/vendor/lib renamed the extension to "bak" or delete it, and Netflix works..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] therighttodestroymyself:
Does no one else have this issue?

Elektroschmock, perhaps you didn't see it, but can you say something about this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Nope. No problems and I use both a PIN and Pattern Unlock for Screenlocker and Nova Launcher. But as always, the devil is in the details. PIN can be for bootup; screenlock affected by whether and how you use launchers, etc. , and how you set it up. Possibly some things conflict. Just try this - remove all PINs and security settings and disable screenlock. You might also check notification settings on security apps etc. Reboot phone, then reset all to whatever you want. Just don't destroy yourself ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
His friends recommended that. [MENTION=3383960]Elektroschmock[/MENTION] doesn't think it's necessary, and neither do I.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maddog3030:
I'm sorry but I don't see the point of your post, the directory that Elektroschmock said it was in he is correct it doesn't have that file.

if you look I found it in a different directory and first-hand account it does work.

So if my tail you might consider somewhat anecdotal it is first-hand information.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
My point is that you repeated information he was already told by people closer to him than you. Information that the developer has stated is not suitable for resolving the issue.

But it's your time to waste.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
I answer my self on this. I tried K-klock and ended up with a boot loop :P Had to reinstall LOS. So don't try this!

Its strange that date in the statusbar is not included in LOS as almost every rom have that feature. Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful that our Nexus still is supported and the work Elektroschmock does.

Is it only me that always forget what date it is? :P
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maddog3030:
I thank you for your concern of my time but I can assure you I have plenty
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] linus207:
Thanks for new release. Everything is ok.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jax326:
Do voice calls work on the Verizon N6? I bought what was advertised as a Verizon Nexus 6 on Amazon, to replace my damaged one, turns out it was a Google Fi/T-Mobile. Found this out after I flashed the Verizon shamu radio and installed 17.1, inserted the sim from my old phone and couldn't get calls. Setting preferred network to global drops service to 3g in and out and gets calls/no data. Setting to LTE only, gets data no mobile network.

I need to know definitive that if I return this phone and get a Verizon N6, voice and data will work on 17.1

Please help.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dbrickg:
Arghh, yes, I'd forgotten that there were 3 different N6's, one for Fi, one for Verizon, and one for some other carrier. I'm on verizon, and I'm pretty sure that nothing past 15.1 works on it. But I'd be happy to hear that I'm wrong
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jax326:
From the first post in the thread:

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR VERIZON USERS: Google released a separate October 2017 security update (NGI77B) just for verizon users that has a different radio. So you'll want to flash it. I repeat, THIS RADIO IS JUST FOR VERIZON USERS.

radio-shamu-d4.01-9625-05.51+fsg-9625-02.118.img

Why make this distinction if voice calls didn't work? Make a disclaimer if that's the case. I see slot of questions about VoLTE and such, I don't care about that, didn't even know what it was two days ago. I just want regular voice network calls. Total noob here, this is my first custom ROM. I don't want to give this phone up yet, only reason I bought a replacement is the charging port is broke and I needed it to hook the USB. But I need to know if 17.1 works for VZW before I exchange the N6.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
It will work until Verizon shuts down their CDMA network at the end of this year. You'll need to be on LOS 15.1 so you can have VoLTE at that point in time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Jax326:
Thanks. Not worried about VoLTE. Never used it, didn't know anything about it and apparently had been disabled on my phone. Just want voice calls on 17.1 on my N6 on stupid ass Verizon. If your saying it works, great!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] beeewell:
It sort of works. What doesn't work is the phone doesn't "ring" on incoming calls. You will get a missed call and/or voicemail notification if I remember correctly. Outgoing calls do work. Texts work also I believe.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
You should be... If you plan on using your N6 on Verizon starting at the beginning of the new year (January 1, 2021) then you need VoLTE to make calls. LOS 15.1 is the last version that supports VoLTE.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
So if you dont have VOLTE you cant do wifi calling on verizon like you can do on ATT&T or t-mobile.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) allows the use of VoLTE & VoWiFi. Since IMS is broken for our N6 past 15.1 we can't use VoLTE and VoWiFi on any carrier.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] maddog3030:
QUOTE=wavedashdoc;82991167]I stopped development on the 8.1 ROM and focused on the IMS issue for Android 10 from April to the end of May. Another dev and I were successful, VOLTE, is working. With Covid-19 and other matters that came up, I needed to step back. I will provide an update to this ROM soon, and will probably work with Kim to get the IMS in official source. But please, no ETAs. Hope everyone is having a Happy 4th here in the States! And everyone else stay healthy and safe.[/QUOTE]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
thanks for the info.i did not know that without volte on our nexus 6 that wifi calling and that sort of stuff would not work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ax562:
Hi all! I'm on LOS 16. Was wondering if it was worth upgrading? How are the latest nightlies? Are things stable? I've been MIA for a good minute but I'm back on my dev grind. Basically was wondering if this was daily driver worthy yet.

That's great to hear! What ROM is this quote from?

Edit: My investigation lead me to AOSP 8.1 thread. I saw you were asking for the GIt as well so here it is: https://github.com/wavedashdoc/android_device_moto_shamu
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
Ok, this is my last try with this phone. Off and on since Android 9 i have had problems with mobile data not functioning. Most of the times i have solved this by: changing to 3g > reboot > change to 4g. Now I cannot make it to work at all. I have tried with 2 different providers but it is the same problem on both. So the provider is probably not to blame. I have the latest radio as suggested on first post here.

I have made a logcat.txt and dmsg.txt suggested from this thread. Is it safe to attach the logcat.txt here on the forum? And also, would anyone help me with this? I love this phone and i want to keep it as long as I can, but I kind of need mobile data to work.

Edit. Attached the log files. Perhaps someone with knowledge can take a look at them.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
I had the exact same problem which made me change phone because at the time I saw :

1. No issue with my carrier sim in another phone

2. No issue with another carrier sim in my nexus

So it was a mix between my nexus 6 and my carrier...

At the time I used the app Network Signal Guru and would "Clear Forcings" to get mobile data back (quicker than rebooting)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
Thanx for the tip about Network Signal Guru app! I'll check it out. Perhaps someone will take a look at the log-files. Perhaps Elektroschmock might want to take a look at them? :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] McMannes:
Every time I restart the phone, the alarm starts ringing. I wonder if anyone is encountering this problem.

and how can I send such bugs on lineage? Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
You can read here how to report a bug. Think you need to sign in/register to be able to report a bug. I have never my self reported a bug but will report a bug there now about my mobile data not function.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Eazy:
I tired to make a bug report but the bot closes it. Don't know what i did wrong. Perhaps I put a dot wrong or something, but I don't give a crap anymore if has to be so complicated to file a bug.

Here is my bug report. Use it as a game: Find the error!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
looks like lineage needs to address volte /wifi calling for devices that have had but have broken that for lineage roms based off of 9 and 10. as most networks as of 2021 will be cutting off their 2g and 3g networks in favor of 4g/5g data and volte/wifi calling.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] therighttodestroymyself:
Hi there, you didn't get me right. There is a message on top of the settings mdnu stating "Secure your phone" and "Set screenlock to protect your phone". When I hit it, it is immediately asking for the PIN. But when I enter my PIN, it says it's wrong. No possibility to delete the or change the PIN nor the state of the screenlock which apparently is not secured. I have Nova Launcher installed, but I doubt this is the cause fof this. And I have no other apps that would affect screenlock. It just happened after that update while it was working before.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
What can I say-you seem to be the only one experiencing this. Something(s) are in conflict. Possibly also you are not remembering or typing in correctly your PIN? All these settings are accessible and can be changed, if you are set up correctly If your PIN is "wrong", then something fundamental is off between you and your phone. The key in these things is to eliminate as many variables as possible first. I would strip off Nova Launcher, reboot, and see what happens. You can always reinstall that. You also could try just a dirty reinstall of latest ROM right over what you have. But again, no one else is reporting anything like this. I use Nova and have never had any of the problems you mention.

If you cannot manage with what I suggested, you may need to do a full wipe and clean reinstall. At some point, that might well be the quickest way in your case. Good luck.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChubbsMcBeef:
Hey folks, I've just updated to the latest Nightly build (22/07) and again I'm having the issue of the Recent Apps button not working. I've re-flashed GApps *twice* (as Pixel Launcher is the problem), but still no joy.

This phone is my daily driver, so I don't want to have to factory reset every time I update because it's a major hassle. I was still on the June 4 build before today and the only reason I updated was because SMS stopped working out of the blue (both sending and receiving).

Tldr; Recent Apps button not working after LOS update. GApps reflash didn't fix it. Factory reset is a last resort only.

Any suggestions? Much thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
What do you mean "not working"? Is it gone, or nothing happens, or it crashes? Permanently or some of the time?

You seem to believe that Pixel launcher is the cause - have you tried another launcher as a test? If the culprit is indeed Pixel launcher, then refer to the gapps thread.

Try changing settings/system/advanced/gestures/system navigation.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChubbsMcBeef:
Hi [MENTION=4610285]runekock[/MENTION], the Recent Apps button is there but is unresponsive all of the time (tap and long press does nothing). I primarily use Nova Launcher and I can't even remap other buttons or use gestures within that to bring up the Recent Apps screen.

In Settings > System > Advanced > Gestures, I only have 3 options: "Jump to camera", "Lift to check phone" and "Prevent ringing" ... so, nothing there that can help. (although, when I tap into "Gestures", I very briefly see two "Touchscreen gestures" options appear for a fraction of a second, then they vanish. Not sure if it's related to my issue, but thought it was worth noting).

The reason I mentioned Pixel Launcher is because I raised this same issue back in June (see post here: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82718289&postcount=393) and [MENTION=6114272]Sanabil[/MENTION] suggested that PL was the culprit. Plus when I switch the default Home app to PL, I get the error "Pixel Launcher keeps stopping". So, here we are.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
I think Sanabil meant to not flash pixel launcher with gaaps. Lineage still runs the system launcher to control navigation and gestures even if you use another launcher for the home screen. Check running services in the dev options to see if it is running.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] mrk2815:
i just update manually instead of using the OTA function as i prefer to use twrp.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChubbsMcBeef:
How do I go about flashing pixel launcher on its own?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Create a .gapps-config file, and in the file exclude everything in the package except the Pixel Launcher. Save this file in the same location where the gapps package is located. Flash the gapps package in TWRP.

Sounds convoluted, but I believe all the packages flash something in addition to the Pixel Launcher.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dahawthorne:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/pixel-launcher/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChubbsMcBeef:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I've tried flashing the latest Micro GApps with a .gapps-config file in the same directory as the installer zip (via both ADB using LOS Recovery and direct from internal storage), but each time it installs the entire package.

In the config file, I've listed all the apps I want to exclude (using keyword names only), and each app name is on its own line.

[MENTION=6161558]dahawthorne[/MENTION]: Installing the latest Pixel Launcher .apk file sadly has no effect.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ChubbsMcBeef:
Latest build (29/07) seems to have fixed the issue with the Recent Apps button :):svetius:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
No i guess not. I just flashed latest update via TWRP and recent button is not working.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Sanabil:
I have a simple solution that seems to work every time.

I just go into recovery and reflash gapps and it gets fixed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nexus6190:
when I flashed gapps 10 mini via latest lineage recovery it just broke the lineage home launcher. it also installed pixel launcher, reset the settings menu to stock. maybe I should have just tried the gapps 10 pico package
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
Yes as lineage recommends opengapps <= nano, and trebuchet pixel interference starts when you go beyond that
