[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] frankybabyd:
I'm new to all this and did my first install of a custom Rom on my Nexus 6. I chose the latest Lineage 17.1. For me the main reason was because i just found it way too laggy with the stock 7.1 and figured I'd give it a try. I have to say it's amazingly smooth now. However I've noticed one pretty important issue, that I've seen others mention as well and one other I noticed today.

1. I have the problem people mention with the camera crapping out after using it for a few minutes. This happens all the time for me. Nothing except rebooting gets it back working. I had the Dec 30 version and now the Jan 6 version and always have the issue. I made a logcat once I was in the state that the camera doesn't work. I've attached the logcat file here. Is there a bug entered for this already? Otherwise I don't mind entering it. I'm sure many, many people must have this problem, from what I'm seeing in this thread.

2. When using the speakerphone, people on other end hear themselves. I didn't have this problem with the stock 7.1. I 'm guessing there needs to be some sort of code with the microphone that it doesn't transmit what's playing out, that isn't there. I think though that this issue was not there in the Dec 30 version and is there now in the Jan 6 version (it's just my feeling because i don't think people I was talking to complained about hearing themselves when I had the Dec 30 version

Also I don't necessarily need to be on the latest. I just want a working phone, that isn't laggy. I also have a Nexus 5 which i installed Lineage 14.1 and that seems pretty amazing. Are there any people that have the camera problem, that didn't have it in Lineage 15 or 16 ? I don't mind using an older version if the camera and speakerphone work.

One quick question: Using the recovery that came the Dec 28 Lineage 17.1, can i flash Lineage 16.0 ROM and where can I get it? A quick search on google turned up short as they all point to https://download.lineageos.org/shamu which has 17.1...

I ended up creating a bug for this here so perhaps others that have issue too can add comments https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/2946

Thank you all!

Can't confirm it here - camera works as expected. However - just plain LineageOS here, no gapps.

As of earlier (15.1 or 16.0) versions of LineageOS - check the first posts in corresponding threads in https://xdaforums.com/f/nexus-6-original-android-development.3711/ about unofficial builds.

I been using Opened Camera its a Camera app still crashes once in a while but works most of the time
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] frankybabyd:
Ok thanks for the link. Don't you need gapps though if you want the Google Playstore? You don't need any apps from the Google playstore? I know you can install apk's but isn't the Playstore sort of a needed basic thing? I guess I can try without Gapps installed to see if I can repro.

Can anyone else that has the camera problem confirm whether they have or don't have Gapps ?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] frankybabyd:
I have that one installed too and when it's crapped out, they all don't work. I'm pretty sure if you do any video calling you'll get the problem within a few minutes. I can't go more than 10-15 minutes without it crapping out... Very annoying for an otherwise amazing experience on my Nexus 6.

I'd also like to say that I am not rooted and don't want to be as would like bank apps to work normally. I think I read that I can have Magisk to be rooted, but fake to be not rooted, but that all seems complicated when i don't want to be rooted.

I'm mentioning being rooted, because i think someone said there is an app to Kill Camera, but quickly looking in Playstore, the app I found says you need to be rooted.

Is there an app or something i can do to get camera working without having to reboot?

Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] alfacrux:
No, gapps are optional. I use F-Droid repository for apps and sideload few apps whose roots are in the pre-Android era (SportsTracker etc). But that depends on your needs and how deeply you have "sold" yourselt to certain companies :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Guikden_NL:
Unfortunately that doesn't work for me and all of the updates since November 11 have a problem remembering bluetooth connections. I can't find anything in the changelog for the following update that indicates BT or security that would be a clue to why it quit remembering certain BT connections.

Update: It looks like this issue is caused by the fixes of CVE-2020-12856, specifically A-157038281 [3]. For details see https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2020-11-01

The fix is the very latest xDrip+ daily. It has a workaround built in.

Is there any chance to have lineage-18.1 on shamu?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dwardo:
Chances are greater than 0% it seems as : https://review.lineageos.org/q/topic:"eleven_shamu"+(status:open OR status:merged) ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Well code is ready since 'forever' as you can see on the other Android 11 ROMs for shamu which are using Lineage's code. I just don't see a reason to use you users as guinea pigs for testing as long as there are bugs I am able to reproduce. If nothing goes south shamu will be in the first batch of devices receiving Lineage 18.1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Just another thanks to ES for the weekly update. Really appreciate not only the effort, but how professional it all is - how the phone alerts when there is an update, how all recent changes, and what is planned, are visible on the LineageOS page. Just great work, over a long period of time.

Any idea how to solve this recently flashed my device again with crdroid android 11 and its giving error not charging
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Ask in the CRDROID thread if you are using CRDROID.

But most probably it's a dirty or damaged usb port
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ~DevinEDeviL~:
It was working fine before and right after flashing it stopped working and this error is their i tried flashing Lineage after that as they created crdroid by modifying lineage only but still its same
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
As always, several variables at play here. You need to eliminate possible causes. Turn phone off. Then switch cables - try charging e.g. off a PC/Mac using mini to USB cable vs possibly an old wall charger that came with phone. If you don't have such a cable, they are not difficult to find or order. Might just be a cable problem. You should see something (battery with bar levels) on screen if it is charging, even with phone off. Otherwise look up how to clean mini USB port-with alcohol & Q tips. Possibly port contacts bent, or just dirty like ES said. You could also flash back to stock ROM and see what happens. If it does not charge it is surely NOT the ROM. Then take to a shop - they can easily test to see if port is dead. If that is the case, you can usually find such parts on eBay and repair shop could replace. Far cheaper than new phone.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BuboX:
Correct me if I'm wrong one more thing he can test is to see if the battery gets charged with wireless charging.

google app/widget does not work when typing a search, voice is fine. Also turning on ok google option just times out with trouble connecting/check your connection and try again.

typing a search with google app just shows something went wrong, try again.

At 1 point, I tried to clear data or reinstall the app and it will work for few seconds then same issue.

For now I am using chrome widget to search or just voice search widget.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Feimitsu:
A few releases ago, an option was introduced to select whether fast charging could be turned off or on. Well, i can't find the option, and since then fast charging seems to be permanently off (using original motorola fast charger). Any insight?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xl883n:
I can confirm based on last OTA and this was the first update from fresh install w/ no backup restored that the charging in the lockscreen shows as such:

charging with oem wires/power adapter only shows charging (not rapid charging)

qi charge shows wireless charging

However, at 50% charged - with oem wires - it will only take approx. 40mins to top off - maybe it is doing rapid?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
I don't think Nexus 6 was ever capable of detecting if it's Quick Charging. Just a quirk of early hardware and software. That said QC 2.0 works nontheless as I can detect 9V during charging on my USB meter. Sometimes, while using really ad cables, it even goes to 12V

Hello:

is Netflix and Hulu working on this rom?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Hello,

I think I found a bug that's preventing the use of the clipboard in certain situations:

I am using system profiles with different audio, network and desktop settings for different situations, like being at home, driving, or working. The "home" profile is set not to lock the screen, while my phone is connected to my home wifi.

Whenever this profile is active, the clipboard malfunctions: I am still able to select text and copy it to the clipboard by long tapping, but I can not insert the clipboard's contents any more. The appropriate menu won't show, while this profile is active. As soon as I switch to another profile, one that does not deactivate the screen locker, the clipboard works again as it is supposed to do.

In other words: no screen locking leads to clipboard malfunctioning!

Lineage 18.1 (Android 11) just out for Shamu. Note also it only works with a special version of Gapps. https://xdaforums.com/t/official-lineageos-18-1-for-the-nexus-6.4255327/

I trust Elektroshmock's great work a lot, and not sure yet of the new version, and his involvement. Have not tested as my Nexus is still my daily driver so waiting a bit. Early reports are it seems to need a full clean install to read SIM cards properly, so that means a fair bit of setup time for some of us. But for you lab rats, have at it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dvdram:
Same here / me too! No offence meant, but the thought of having to reinstall everything, entering every personal data and login credential once again doesn't thrill me.

I really appreciate all the developers work on LOS, because using a smartphone today wouldn't feel half as good without this wonderful OS. And I also understand that using LOS is not meant for the mass market and that it shouldn't be even tried by those who go weak in their knees when they can't find their beloved Google apps on a screen.

But on the other hand: not every user who chooses to use LOS is a "lab rat" with a high levelled adventure spirit. Some of us just have a real need for a smart phone that is (mostly) freed from Google for good reasons.

And for those users, including me, I think it's better to wait until there's a way to upgrade without having to set up everything again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
"Lab rat" just means early adopters. Let's not get carried away here. On the rest - if you use correctly Titanium Backup, you can save some time getting back up to speed with a fresh ROM. Many, but certainly not all Apps can be brought over and will work. Some won't. It still takes me about 1.5-2 hours to get all shipshape. Part of the problem is an inability to practically partition the phone harddrive or to use (like much older phones had) a removable storage chip where some things e.g. lots of stored files, pictures, or especially downloaded navigation maps could be easily separated and stored. But with a little creativity, some this can be approximated.

In theory, just wiping the SYSTEM partition but not wiping the DATA partition should save time reloading stored files. But if you tweak your phone a lot as I do, just desktop loaders and icon positions and testing app logins etc. means installing a new ROM is still a big commitment of time if it is to be the daily driver. It also means learning about quirks such as the new ROM seems to have no native email client.

In any case, 1-2 hours per year to keep phone up to date not such a train smash. It seems the team involved in the new build is first rate and carries over from this.

Too lazy to wipe the entire device and re-do everything to update to 18.1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
It just came to my mind that I fixed the dreaded echo bug only after the last official build.

Perhaps you might want to update to 18.1 in this case.

It should be doable without resetting everything.

Did some searching with no luck - hope this hasn't already been answered, and hope it can be. Got a nexus6 on purenexus, thinking of switching to lineage os. I'm on Verizon - will lineage enable WiFi calling for Verizon? I know this model normally doesn't have WiFi calling with Verizon, but unsure why.. Was looking to jump up to a pixel 3 or higher, bit the edl thing has me rethinking that plan, lol.. This phone works great, all I'm trying to do is get WiFi calling at my house (horrible service here).. Any info or pointers greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
No.

Neither wifi calling nor VoLTE work at all on any rom beyond Oreo.

On those old roms that do support it, I believe that, at best, it works in those cases that stock works. (If you read old threads such as PureNexus, people have tried - I don't think with much success, but I could be wrong)

Edit: personally, I've just switched to a used Pixel 2XL, and I'm happy with the change. Of course, you should check with your provider if they support VoWiFi on that model.

Even if not, there are hacks for the 2XL that might help.

Did not do a complete wipe during flashing, only system, cache, Dalvik etc. Everything else seems to work fine (serious thanks for this..)

Can someone point me to a solution that does not involve compete wipe and factory reset?

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ahmedkordofani:
Hello, thank you Elektroschmock for your brilliant work! I was psyched to hear the news that LOS 17.1 had finally arrived after such a long wait. Anyways, after installing it I'm pleased to say that it is nothing short of perfect. No problems so far but I do have one question regarding a feature that existed in LOS 16 that seems to be missing here and it is the ability to customise the nav bar with key codes. I lost my vol down button's functionality and got used to placing both + and - buttons on the nav bar to aid me in changing the volume more quickly. So my question is, will we regain this feature again or is it gone for good and if possible can I add it on my own?

Thanks :)

LOS recovery is recommended but it is not a must . I did all the flashing process via twrp and it finished the job perfectly.

The camera can be disabled again after reboot.

Suggest as soon as you boot the phone up from cold,

you see the lock screen open it up select the camera before it finishes completely booting.

I've been able to do that consistently, start up the camera app as soon as you can before everything else finishes.

it seems something's happening when you let it completely boot up and corrupts the camera hardware.

But if you can initialize the camera before or whatever it is happens it starts every time.

Otherwise, very beautiful Rom.

For those of you who don't already know. With Android 10 you can set the driver to the new "Game driver" in the developer settings under "Game Driver Preferences". Especially with older hardware the driver makes games run better. Just test it. :)

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
I wasn't able do reproduce any of your problems.

Only on first boot system takes about 20 seconds to unlock as it's fully loaded.

Perhaps Kalender app wasn't granted all permissions?

It was removed and 'replaced' by the deskclock. Nobody seemed to care about CLock anymore

What do you mean with 'reset'?

Like already said in the other tread: You can't switch ROMs without wiping data.

I wasn't aware that this is/was possible on LineageOS 16.0, but I'm just a device maintainer. I don't know much about the rest of the code.

Maybe adding a settings link to the homecreen might help you:

- Longpress on the settings icon

- Touch the widget symbol

- place the widget on homescreen

- select sounds
