It's possible we finally just hit that point where legacy camera applications are going to work on modern Android anymore :/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Feimitsu:
https://review.lineageos.org/317781

Maybe this will fix it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
maybe
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Feimitsu:
Unfortunately it didn't. Would a logcat help / is it a known issue? Funnily enough, camera within Hangouts works just fine. But Google Camera has just a black screen with shutter button and the switch back/front camera. Both are not working.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
it's an old apk, it was a matter of time before it stopped working. Doubtful we can fix it tbh.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] generic-username-here:
Under bugs it says that IMS (VoLTE/Wi-Fi Calling) does not work. Ok thats fine but LTE data stil works right? If VoLTE is not working, what is used it its place? vo-3g? I use Republic Wireless, a MVNO that uses t-mobile and sprint. Should I stick with LOS 15.1 because of that or would 18.1 work because I read that most carriers are sun setting older cellular standards sooner or later if they have not done so already. This is so damn confusing and I have been out of the phone loop for a few years. I did search but got so many conflicting results. Figured I should come to the source, or as close as possible....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
LTE data works fine. The phone will drop down to 3G or even 2G when calling, but as you say, some providers are closing those old nets.

However, even with LOS 15, 4G calling will only work if the phone company supports this phone specifically. Some do and some don't.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ProBird79:
There were talks about incorporating IMS but at this point I wouldn't bet on it.

You will need VoLTE by March 31st, 2022 as T-Mobile is shutting 3g down then.

I'm using LOS 15.1 for this reason.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] generic-username-here:
Thank you both. It's a shame about the volte not working in anything higher then 15.1, this phone has such large usable screen area with no notch. I can't stand the modern long skinny screens and notch that kills 15% of the viewable area. I am one of those people who holds my phone sideways like a TV screen for literally everything and this thing is made for that it seems. It's a poor mans dream machine. Good battery life, wireless charging. soc is fast enough for my needs (netflix, samba movies, web browsing).

Hi, first of all I'd like to THANKS everyone who contribute to ALL LINEAGE roms for our lovely MOTOROLA GOOGLE NEXUS 6.

For me this wonderful trip stops here because my phone have been stolen....:cry::mad:

7 years and this device was amazing!

I'm so sad to say goodbye...but life continues...(and better stay to this words..)

Specially thankful to xda developers @Elektroschmock & @npjohnson!

Stay well, stay safe.

Anyone know why PayPal Business lists as "incompatible" now? (regular paypal shows but I dont use that)

I will be honest, this is my backup/emergency/auth phone that sits in a lock box, but I had 15.x on it before and was running the Business App, now with latest install it's suddenly incompatible.

About to plop LOS onto my Razer Phone 2 since Razer abandoned it, wanna get this solved before I possibly run into the issue there as well.

Device passes safteynet and i did register the device so its certified in play store
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Not sure, that's a weird one. Maybe it checks some other property?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Hammerfest:
That was/is my thought, or maybe its not passing safteynet properly or doesnt like the "special" store cert, I might simply suffer with web portal if I cant figure it out, I REALLY dont want to go back to 15.x if possible, yall have done such a good job on keeping this old but frankly best phone alive. (Would be my main if they would release updated hardware and didnt change the size!)

On an unrelated note, it MIGHT have been OpenGApps (I use pico normally, using MTGApps now), but the MOMENT I turned off logging completely, the phone started to absolutely chug (scrolling on the developer page was jerky as all heck and anywhere else was sluggish and jerky as well), and nothing I did resoloved it (IE turning logging back on, restarting, clearing cache), I had to factory flash it to get it back to normal, afraid to touch it again. Anyone else see that (please dont try this if your happy with your current setup!)

@Elektroschmock you beautiful madperson you, doesnt matter what all the changes are for, yer still giving it love <3

In other news, I might have 2 parts Nexus 6 if the developers happen to need them (US based), one the battery terminal is farkled, and I have NEVER had steady hands to solder fix it, the other has that screen/digitizer separation that causes the ambient or passive sensor (cant recall its name right now) to misread, IIRC last I searched, would be an easy fix if i I had a hotbed (which I dont) and its not actually come apart from what I can tell set side by side with my good one, let me know.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
Those where just some security fixes and some minor performance improvements.

I already have two Nexus 6 devices for development purposes, but thanks for your offer.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] gpatm:
Hi all, I have unfortunately managed to completely destroy the screen and digitizer on my shamu :( .

I would like to retrieve some stuff from storage so I have a couple of questions:

Is hdmi out supported?

I think it is not but I was hoping I might be wrong and I can plug in on of those usb/hdmi out dongles and use it with a mouse.

Is there any other way to retrieve stuff from storage?

usb debugging is apparently turned off and the phone is not in tranfer mode.

The best I can do is randomly hit the volume up/down and power buttons to sometimes get it to show up on adb as an "untrusted" device.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
The Nexus cannot do HDMI out.

If your phone is encrypted, then it is quite impossible to get to your files. If not, you should be able to start recovery, and some recoveries such as TWRP provides ADB access. (You can flash TWRP in fastboot as long as your bootloader is unlocked).

If encrypted, you'll have to replace the screen, or alternatively put your motherboard into a working Nexus.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cavh17:
Hi there,

Thanks so much for keeping this ROM working for the Nexus 6, I love this phone and hate to see it die off.

I've just loaded the 18.1 12/15 build and I see this issue. Both Netflix and Disney+ can be loaded form the official play store but neither can play any content. DRM checker shows no Widevine info at all. Do happen to know if this will be fixable?

Thanks much for your time and support.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Likely fixable but idk why it doesn't work atm
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] cavh17:
Ok thank you for your fast reply and your hard work.

Hey is there any lineage os 19 for nexus 6 or any other android 12 ROM available?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 96carboard:
Man it is time to upgrade. Look at Pixel 6 Pro. The screen on it is so close to the same width as the N6 that it is survivable. Plus, GrapheneOS is available for it :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Event_Horizon:
Hahahahaha... I will go for 10 pro..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Nope, and we won't provide ETA's if there will be one.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ponichia:
i dont like a screen with a stupid dot lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 96carboard:
So just adjust the boundaries with the "wm" command, which sticks after reboot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Just a thank you to the Devs, esp Elektroschmock and NPJohnson for all the work keeping things humming here and best wishes for the new year.

i was running lineage 17.1, Mindthegapps Android 10, Magisk 23,

i dirtyflashed by going to twrp, i didnt check, clear or format anything

i adb sideloaded the latest lineage 18.1 img, Mindthegapps forAndroid 11, Magisk

and everything is great, i love the improvements and by flashing these 3 files it didnt affect any of my settings or apps, my magisk modules are still installed too, thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] satya-1998:
Hello all, I understand that @Elektroschmock 's echo fix is part of this ROM (see it in the git repo) and that current builds include it.

I have faced persistent issues with echo on the listener's side during Whatsapp calls and video calls on the speaker phone. There is no issue with normal voice calls on speaker.

Can anyone confirm that Whatsapp video/voice calls on speakerphone work fine without echo?

Thank you

Hello,

I just installed android 11 for my nexus 6 (I have the latest version) wanting to install some Apk I received a message telling me that my device was root

looking through root cheak i got this info

""""Root is not properly installed on this device""""

i installed via adb on windows

does anyone have a solution to no longer have this problem and remove the root and thus install all the applications I want
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Blueberry - you have to be more precise in describing problems. Most people using these ROMs WANT ROOT access. And from your description, it looks like what ever APKs you are trying to load may actually want Root also. I do most loading via TWRP as I find it easier than all the ADB commands and don't need a computer -can do all from phone as long as you can find your download folder. (But I understand the thrill of doing this Adb).

Suggest you download TWRP and Magisk image or zip files, install TWRP, then first fully root installing Magisk (do a search or see threads here in XDA). Then, install what APKs you need. Then if you still have a problem, search for "remove root access on LineageOS 18.1" - plenty of help on line if you look. But I think this is neither necessary nor really involved in the problems you may be having. Good luck.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Doug8796:
Does this mean never ? Or eventually but stop asking? I am getting back into the cfw scene and hopefully my pixel 6 pro will live on for a few years after google drops support.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Blueberry 85:
hello, I finally managed to do the installation to root the phone correctly, nevertheless I have several applications that do not work if the phone is root

>>search for "remove root access on LineageOS 18.1"

unfortunately I can't find any technique that doesn't seem to work currently and correctly remove the root
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Don't ask.

Maybe we will get to it. It depends on a lot of literally unforseeable factors (does someone figure out how to properly work around BPF, is nothing major irreparably broken), etc.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
If this does not cause privacy issues, can you tell us specifically which applications will not install because you have root? And what message is each sending that says root is blocking things? I have never had this problem with any app so cannot really help. But maybe if we knew what problems you had, others might.

You might read and try this: https://www.techfuzz.net/remove-lineageos-inbuilt-root-system/
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Just a word of caution on all this. I have an old Samsung Note 2 (N7100). A Lineage 19 ROM for this was recently released (there is an XDA thread) and I have been testing it. It is stable enough and no problems with SIM card or GPS etc. But I have to say I am underwhelmed. A learning curve needed to grasp all the new menus, some of the design is IMHO clunky -very large buttons and bubbles, some features gone (power on to recovery option, annoying lock screen with fixed clock face) and a couple of apps are having problems. LineageOS 18.1 is at the moment much more polished, and uses screen space better. 19 is attractive in some ways for more granular control over permissions and security.

The whole A12 roll out has been mixed - good article on this here: https://www.theverge.com/22881882/a...s-oneplus-oxygenos-12-samsung-one-ui-4-update

Seems a big January patch may address some of this but for those of you getting restless, trust the devs here. They know what they are doing.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
I have an interesting problem. Last Monday, I turned on my phone and after a while, I noticed that it was stuck in a boot loop. I have tried resetting, reinstalling and still cannot get past the boot animation. Last night, I let the boot loop run for a long time and when I came back to it, it was in recovery displaying some message about userdata, I think it said something about formatting, but I'm not certain. After another wipe, I am able to install the last google image 7.1.1. I am stumped as how to proceed. I followed the installation instructions to the letter and still not booting. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Not sure what Google Image 7.1 means - This thread is LineageOS 18 (Android 11)....

If you want some much earlier version of Android e.g. CR Droid 7, you need to go that thread.

If you are trying to get this version of Lineage working on a Nexus 6....try flashing the ROM and before rebooting install the zipped MindtheGapps package - all clearly described on page 1. Could be that the ROM is looking for Google Play etc. can't find it, and just loops.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
Thanks for the reply. You misunderstood what I posted. I was able to flash the last "factory image" from Google. That proved to me that I was able to flash a ROM. Yes, after the initial bootloop, which was on last week's lineage-18.1-20220302-nightly-shamu-signed.zip ROM, I tried reflashing lineage-18.1-20220302-nightly-shamu-signed.zip by following the installation instructions. I hope that that makes sense. I have also tried flashing the latest lineage-18.1-20220309-nightly-shamu-signed.zip and have not gotten past the boot logo upon reboot. I could care less about Android 7.1.1 and want to use lineageOS.-18.1. Could the problem be with using TWRP recovery? I have even used the lineageOS recovery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Did the Google 7.1 rom work or not? If that doesn't work after a full wipe, then I think you have a hardware problem.

My N6 did something similar, and I only got it fixed by changing the motherboard.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
Yes, the 7.1.1 ROM did install and does work, thereby proving to me that perhaps it is not a hardware problem. I guess that I should have been more clear in my original post.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
TWRP is fine - use it all the time. Just make sure before you install a new ROM you wipe the System partition - at a minimum. A full wipe is better when switching between completely different ROMs but you can try the System wipe first if you have lots of apps installed. In your case, if you deal with reinstalling apps, a full wipe likely better. Then before you reboot, still in Recovery, install in this case the MindtheGapps or the Arm 11 Micro or Pico option from OpenGapps (so download your choice and have on phone before you begin. Make sure you have the right package as that will cause problems if not correct. You can actually stack these zipped files if you read carefully in the TWRP install section. So Wipe, install ROM, xxxxApps, reboot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
Thank you for your reply. I have used both TWRP and the lineage recoveries and still I am unable to get a functioning Nexus 6. After flashing with TWRP, when I reboot into system, I get a long bootloop and then finally TWRP recovery comes back up. When using lineage recovery, I get the same boot loop and then lineage recovery comes up with the following message:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
Also, with TWRP after the boot loop, the responsiveness became extremely sluggish and was unusable. I saw that there were log files and attempted to recover them but was unable to do so due to the sluggishness of TWRP.

After spending so much time and making no progress, I am going to have to retire my Nexus 6. Many thanks to the devs for this excellent ROM that kept my Nexus 6 running, and running very well. I was hoping to keep using this phone for much longer but something has happened and I am unable to get the phone back to being functional.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
So - I know the devs like Lineage recovery. I find TWRP gives much more control and options (built in file manager, lots of little tweaks), and I have never had any problem with it.

Safest thing now is a complete Wipe - you will lose all Data and System but should work. This is not quite a full factory reset. Again make sure before you reboot, just after flashing the ROM, still in TWRP, immediately flash a zipped Gapps package (either MindtheGApps or as I explained above). You have to do this before rebooting.

From your message, it is not clear if you did this. Either way, all this installing has corrupted something. Hence the Wipe all.

In theory you can copy this across from a PC while in TWRP. Otherwise you may need to sideload it via ADB. Before you do anything, make sure the phone and computer can see each other. Windows Explorer should be able to read the unrooted parts of phone. If this still happens, you are doing something wrong and it would be best to simply take it to a repair shop.

Can't help you beyond this. Good luck. Stick with it - my Nexus 6 runs very well, and fast with lots of apps all running this LinOS 18. It can be solved.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
esysfound,

Yes, I did try accessing it from a PC, running linux. I did many wipes and flashed the ROM and GApps, and even the MindtheGApps, not both at the same time. Thanks for helpful replies. I might try a cell phone repair shop. If I do, I'll report back what was found. Again, thanks to all. This is a most helpful and supportive community.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Remember that you need to format data in TWRP when going from stock to LineageOS. A normal wipe is not enough.

If you don't have TWRP, I believe it is possible to format data from fastboot instead.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] epsheldoni:
Yes, I did format data, using TWRP. After many wipes and installs, I cannot get past the boot loop. My phone was working one day, and the next day it wasn't. I have seen on ebay motherboards for $26 and I am tempted to try and replace the motherboard. But, after purchasing a Pixel 6, I feel that it time to move on. Yes, I do miss the wide screen of the Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
I posted a reply to this but seems to have disappeared. As did your answer.

No need for motherboard etc. Take to a shop. This seems quite solvable.

The limits of back and forth on this are real, as are different notions of technical terms. I think you're just doing something wrong but impossible to diagnose. You need a full wipe, system as well as data. But you may have inadvertantly damaged some other things. A good shop can sort this quickly. Or get back to the stock original, via ADB if necessary and just follow instructions like we all did.

My Nexus 6 running this latest build is very stable, with lots of tweaks and apps and it remains my daily driver.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ostralopiteq:
nice rom, with a very nice experience,.

The processor max limit is set to 1036 and I couldn't find a way to raised.

It will be nice to get this fixed in the future.

Is there anyone who found a kernel which allow overclicking for nexus 6 Android 11

Thank you
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Elektroschmock:
The frequency limit isn't set to 1036 Mhz! I don't know where you got this information from.

Maybe you are using the power save power profile?

Also overclocking is a really bad idea on the nexus 6.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Sadly it looks like the Nexus 6 won't get LOS 19, which was released today. IIRC my Nexus 6 on LOS18.1 is on kernel 3.10.108. Still one of my favorite devices to this day. Sad if this is actually the end of the road. Thank you to all the developers for the hard work over the years.

There is an XDA Forum that discusses A12 for an even older device - the Samsung Note 2. I have one, and have been running A12 (LineageOS 19.1) for months. Quite stable. Can be a little laggy but the Note 2 is not as capable as the Nexus 6. But works ok and I have many apps running and Magisk (24.1 - newer versions are a problem).

So maybe there is a way.....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] runekock:
Well, if we read closely what LineageOS wrote: "At the moment, with some hacky workarounds (that we won’t be merging, as they break packet filtering, etc.) legacy devices can boot"

then it does indeed seem possible, but probably not a good idea.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Semseddin:
First of all, thank you very much sincerely for updating our decade old but loved n6. LINEAGE OS gave my n6 a 2nd life. I would never imagine this phone to run this well until i experienced it myself.

I have installed the latest may release through the updater. Updated successfully, so far the only issue i noticed is that the brightness control does nothing. It used to be fine with april nightly.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] esysfound:
Might not be a good idea, but working mostly fine here....

Sorry to hear that. Pity. But I've found out android_kernel_google_wahoo and android_device_google_wahoo both on lineage-19.1 in LineageOS official repo for Pixel 2(XL) and the kernel version shows 4.4.302. Maybe this is due to the effort of the devs, however, is there still any oppotunity for our Nexus 6 to get it done like this? Pray.

No, because wahoo started with kernel 4.4. It just merged subversions.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Trying to setup my old Nexus 6 to be used as a navigation device for my car. Tried to install Lineage 18.1 - tried using both Open Gapps and MTG and I was unable to get Lineage to set up.

Any suggestions ? Or any link to a known working combo of Lineage 18.1 and Gapps
