Ok, i know that my videos are long. But they aren't long because I like to hear myself talk...lol... Quite the opposite actually. They are long because I talk about everything and every issue I may have had with the install or actual setup and running. Please watch the whole video because there are some important things about this rom that I bring up. This is a new version of Android and there will be some bumps in the road. 😎
Do I have to be rooted and have my bootloader unlocked before doing what is mentioned in the video ? Is there anything else that I need to do before flashing the rom? Plz help me because this is my first time flashing a rom.. .
Yes, unfortunately you do have top have your bootloader unlocked and have the latest TWRP custom recovery installed. But fortunately, if you have a Nexus 6, it is one of the easiest devices to unlock thew bootloader on. lthere are many videos out on how to do this so that is why I haven't made one. They are very thorough and easy to follow. But, if you have any questions please feel free to comment on my google plus community, or get hold of me through Hang outs or some other social outlet like Telegram and I will help you get through this. For hang outs and Google plus I go by David Hayes or glockman4519. You can also try my email ay davidehayessr@gmail..com
@@shehryarsajid8953 No it does not. As long as you have your bootloader unlocked and then have the latest TWRP recovery installed, you just boot to recovery, make backup (off device) make sure you are not encrypted (this is a must) then wipe system, both caches and data. Then flash the rom, then the gapps (arm 9 pico or.nano) and then Magisk v17.1 (if you want root). Then boot to system and let device sit to settle in for at least 5 minutes after the initial boot. Then you can set it up. Watch the whole video though as I explained some things about the install and setup that are important.
Been using this rom for around 2 Weeks David It's amazing how we keep our great phones working and update without Googles help I did put new Battery in back in March I recommend this anyone to keep the phone going I'll keep this phone for a long time since don't anything has good at a fair price This phone already pay for itself many times over and this new rom is amazing to boot it like a new phone :)
You just gave me some faith in my Nexus 6. It's been lagging lately but I believe installing this rom and a fresh battery will give me a new phone for a fraction of the price! Screw planned obsolescence!
@Hybrid Theory Well, getting 4 to 5 hours SOT at this stage, with the battery that came with the device, is pretty darn good. Yes i used to get 6 to 7 hours SOT till last year. So it about time to replace the battery. But it's fine for me right now so I'll keep it on the list of "too do" thinks I have to get to.
installed this last night.. thanks for the help here! So far so good.. fresh breath of new life in my Nexus 6, gestures I already feel good about using just after a few hours of use.. it really feels smooth and snappy too, not too far off from my Galaxy s8 plus when running a few programs, havent given it a full day stress test/daily driver run through yet. Everything has been working great other than the gallery app.. after I take a photo and try to view it the gallery app shows it and soft crashes. Also battery life seems pretty darn good for a 4 year old phone. from a full charge 45 minutes of screen time brought it down to 72 percent so likely 3+ hours of SOT is not too bad.
Hi David! Thanks for your review. I think I am gonna give it a shot. But I wanted to know your opinion about one thing. Of all the roms you have reviewed till now, which one you think is most stable for daily use? I am really tired of changing roms, and I want to settle down to one. Thank you. :)
Very nicely done video. I used to own a Nexus 6 but sold it last year. Wish I still had it though. What a great phone. I really miss those two front facing speakers. Yeah I know it doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, and it's a 32-bit phone and not 64-bit. And I know it isn't bezel-less and doesn't have the more modern 18:9 display ratio. However, many of the specs it does have can still compete with some of today's phones. The only thing I wish Motorola had done was give the Nexus 6 a better front facing camera. I mean 2 mp is just not going to get it done for selfies and all. Nevertheless when I did have my Nexus 6 I ran Nitrogen OS on it and it was buttery smooth then, so I am sure it's even better now, especially on Android 9.0. Makes me want to go and buy another Nexus 6, and I just might do that. Thanks for a very good video.
You are very welcome and thank you for the kind words. Some of the features you mentioned that the 6 does not have, like the fingerprint reader and display that the Samsung's and other new devices have, I wouldn't want anyways. (Just my preference). I understand where others, like your self, would want them though. I don't use the fingerprint reader on my Pixel 2XL, Nexus 6p, my Moto e4 and the e4 plus or the LG V10. I (my other devices do not have fingerprint reader either). I just don't care for locking my device. But, I also don't use it for making purchased either, or at least store anything on it that i wouldn't mind anyone seeing...lol... No porn...lol.. I don't use Google Pay or any of those other high security apps. As for the new style screen modes or aspect ratios, I don't care for the long thin screen. I do wish it had borderless display though. Thank you so much for watching and for posting.
@@HayesTech Your welcome. Yeah, I also am not into the modern stuff that the new flagships have. I only mentioned those things because they're the trend right now. However, I don't really care for the fingerprint sensor or the 18:9 ratio. I prefer big and wide screens like on the Nexus 6. And all this iris scan and facial recognition, I don't want or need. Nor do I need a phone with 8gb of ram and 512gb of storage and four or five cameras. I mean come on phone manufacturers. They must think people are using their phones to travel to Mars to need all that firepower. LOL I also refuse to pay $1000 or more for a device that is only warranteed for 2 years and most new devices start to shows signs of performance decline before then. At the time I sold my Nexus 6 it was three years old and running strong and the battery in it was the original one and was still holding a strong charge. They don't make them like that anymore. I regret that I sold my Shamu. BTW, I did consider the Pixel 2 xl but I heard and read that the speakers on that phone are subpar for a flagship device. I listen to a lot of music without ear buds or headphones (I'm a smooth jazz fanatic) so good speaker quality is a must for me. Oh, and I had the Droid X (running Froyo and Gingerbread) the original Moto G, the Moto G4 play, the Moto E4 and E4plus, a couple of LG phones, and currently using the Moto E5 play as my daily driver. Out of all those phones I still prefer the Nexus 6. Probably gonna wind up buying another one.
@@ereztree Motorola makes some of the most awesome devices. I'm my humble opinion... You're is certainly top notch. The way I see it is, I'm going to use my Nexus 6 as long as I can. As long as they have parts for it, if needed, I'll just keep fixing what needs fixing...lol.. I too am still on my original battery and haven't had to do anything to mine so far and I have flashed note roms on it than most. I absolutely love this phone. There speakers in the Pixel 2XL are nice for conversations and videos but as you stated, are not the greatest for music consumption. But, since I don't listen to music on it, they are ok for now. But honestly, I use my 6 as my DD and the Pixel 2XL for video recording and taking pictures only.
Thank you very much for this video. My Nexus 6 has been struggling for a few months, not accepting Lineage OS 15 updates. This ROM has successfully installed (after a bit of a struggle with encryption errors, even though the phone wasn't encrypted! formatting solved this), and given it a new lease of life. Looks good so far. A couple of teething troubles: It wouldn't receive SMS, until I went into the phone settings and added the message centre number. Had to google it for my phone network. Also, it wouldn't find the phone network until I entered airplane mode, and turned airplane mode off again. Could just be my device, but mentioning in case they help someone out there.
No problem with "long" videos. They're very helpful. Been running Nexus Pure with Blackbird kernel thanks to your video. Any thoughts on how to source a decent replacement battery for these great phones? I've yet to find one that comes close to matching the quality/battery life of the original.

I'm still on my original battery. I get about 4 hours solid on time. That's usually playing solitaire and watching videos. I think it would be better, if I replaced my battery though. Thank you for the comment.
@@HayesTech Well, I have my nexus 6 for about 4 years and experience the same amount of battery lifetime. Was curious as I'm considering getting pixel 3a as in my country i'm not able to change battery =( Thou everything else on phone meet my needs. Thanks for a reply.
@@tag243 Wow, really? Is it that you can't actually purchase one? They are easy to replace, from the videos I've watched. I thought about replacing mine but 4 hours is solid use time is good enough for me as I don't ever start on my phone that long anyways.
Thanks David for another great review! I completely agree. Nexus 6 best phone ever. We sure got our money's worth with with this phone. Especially thanks to the devs that keep it going. Thanks again Dave.
You are very welcome. Nittin put out another winner. From what I have been reading, the few issues I mentioned in the video were fixed too. So no random reboots now.
To bad to hear you broke your 6. Good luck to you though in fixing it, and there are plenty of parts to help you do that.. They are, in my opinion, still the best device every made and I'll never get rid of mine.

Hi David, thanks for great vid. Just a quick question - Does this ROM/kernel support SwipeUp to Wake and SwipeLeft to Sleep like it is in EX Kernel Manager? Thank you.
To be honest, I'm not sure and I am back on 7.1.2 right now. I would say, make a back up and try it out and if it's not for you then you can restore your backup. Sorry I don't have the answer for you, maybe someone else can jump in and give you an answer.

@@HayesTech Thank you for your answer. And may I ask why did you get back to Nougat? Pie is not ready to be daily driver yet?
Actually, Anything higher than nougat, just doesn't have the custom features I like. My favorite of all mods is the 3Minit battery and it was killed in code after nougat. Others like headers and so on are all a no go with Oreo and Pie. That's the only reason I stick on nougat. I don't need to be on the latest android to be happy. It's all about features that I like and not the so called "latest and greatest". While I admire and invite progress, the so called "progress" needs to at least appeal to me. Oreo and Pie does not. I do feel that there are enough working features in these Pie builds to make them daily drivers though.
the battery was 92% at the beginning and it had 79 %in the end seems pretty usable i was planning on getting a used one today ,would you recommend it as a daily driver?
Hi Haye.. i just flashed this rom is beautiful. But I have a little problem . Music doesn't work. What can I do? All my downloaded song do not sound. :(
There is a fix on the thread. Google must the isn't working with many, if all all the Pie builds right now. They are working on it. I don't listen to music on my phone at all so that is one thing I did not test.
No, there is a fix or work around for the sound issue. I don't know exactly where it's at in the thread and I am very busy with family this weekend so I can't search it for you. But if you go on the thread either read to find it, or post your question there and someone can get you an answer faster than I can. Good luck and happy flashing..😀
@@javierlozano693 Found it. Read and follow this post forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/rom-nitrogen-os-n-substratum-11-10-2016-t3478365/post77668203
I wish I could do this for my nexus 6., just afraid I will mess it up. I bought my N6 in spring 2015 for 200 bucks. I actually just bought a mate 20x, my N6 battery is getting weak but never getting rid of it.
I totally agree, I'll have mine as my dd till it dies. I would take the plunge (especially now, since you have another device) and go custom.. Good luck to you and thank you for posting.
Hi David.. have you experienced any issues with Nitrogen? And I want to get this phone. Do you think by the time R is released it can be installed on it? In essence I'm looking for a future proof phone. Let me know what you think. Thanks. .
First off, this rom runs great and the only issue I knew of was camera app and they have a good for it. As for the Nexus 6 as a future proof phone, Google stopped supporting this device last year. The developers are the ones keeping this great phone alive. I will use mine till it dies and my dd is still 7.1.2...
Hi David.. Do you think the devs will still keep it alive with Q or R? And you mentioned the cam was the only issue. Did you mean to say they have a good app for it? I think you made a typo.Lastly, I was looking into possibly buying the xiaomi mi max 3. Do you think its a good buy?
The camera app in some Pie roms, for some devices (not all, as mine is working great) force closes. But they have a fix for it in a zip. As for your choice of phone, they make good Devices. But if your looking for a device to flash custom roms on, make sure there is a development community for it first. If that isn't your goal than it's all in what you like. I don't care what people think of the devices that I use and like. The device you mentioned should be just fine. I am not sure how long the developers will be supporting the Nexus 6. I hope for a long time yet but I fear it's reaching it's end. Most of this is because of Google and not developers. Google is making it harder and harder for developers to customize Google's OS.
@@HayesTech Thanks for the input David. I need some time to think about which phone to get. XDA has huge development behind the xiaomi mi max 3. But its a bit pricey. As I said I'll think about my options. Thanks again David.
Are you asking if Google is supporting the Nexus 6 with updates? No. They stopped supporting it last year. But the custom developer community is keeping it up to date.
I am having a new drawing for another giveaway in about a week or two. I am giving away a vlogging light for use on your cell phone while vlogging. If you want in watch this video th-cam.com/video/_Qh5GqPTDNg/w-d-xo.html
Found a solution to this from XDA forum. Dirty flashing Nitrogen 09/14 ROM one more time makes the camera work. Google Camera app is not visible in Play Store
@@HayesTech off subject, but is that a Glock you holding? Have you seen the new model 45? It's like the 19X but black. I myself CCW a Glock 19 Gen. 4 😉
@@bseries8826 Lol... Nice catch. Yes it is one of my Glocks. It's actually my 31sf in .45acp. I no longer carry that daily but switched to one of my full sized 17s 3rd gen. The 3rd gen was my favorite but wouldn't turn down any of the newer models/updates. I recommend the Glock to anyone looking for a serious handgun that can afford it. But any of the other polymer framed pistols out with known brand names are also good solid choices. Your model choice is a good one too. I think the 19 is the most popular model Glock sells and for good reason. That is the only one I don't own though...lol...
Do I have to be rooted and have my bootloader unlocked before doing what is mentioned in the video ? Is there anything else that I need to do before flashing the rom. Plz help me because this is my first time flashing a rom.
Others have commented that they too have had issues with data connection in Verizon. I quit using it after several updates because of not being able to access data with my Verizon sim. There is one for sure Nitrogen rom in Pie, that works with Verizon and I can't remember which group made it now. Give me a little time and I will research it and let you know. Also Carbon Rom works with Verizon devices.
@@MrOaktowncali i know it sucks. There are a lot of roms that don't work on Verizon devices now. Don't know what the issue is with your device though, because from the comments I've read, in that thread, it worked great in all the other devices. I would try again with a clean flash, backing up everything first, and wiping everything, data, system and both caches. Make a complete backup first though. Good luck.
I followed your instructions to the tee and it kept booting into TWRP. I finally had to revert back to 8.1 to get my phone working. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks
Are you running the latest version of TWRP? Are you unencrypted? You have to have the latest version of TWRP installed (I am on 3.2.1.0). If you aren't unencrypted this rom will not work either. Are you unencrypted?
The is s fix for this somewhere in the thread on XDA. My camera is working but not all devices seen to and needs this fix. Go to the thread link in the description (where you go for the downloads) and post your issue. They can help better than I. I only reviewed the rom. If I find some time later, I will search as well but it will be faster for you to go to the thread and search/ask there. Thank you for watching and for posting.
I don't see why not. I am not a gamer, at least not on my phone but there weren't any complaints on the XDA thread about issue with games either so I am guessing all is good. Lol... It's a Nexus 6... It will run anything....lol😁
I suggest watching the entire video so you don't mess your phone up. But yes everything is working. If you have a force close on your camera there is a zoo to fix that but the camera was working for me on the last build. You need to watch the whole video though because there are important information on encryption in it that must be followed.
I don't notice much of a difference. I don't have battery saver on though. I also never let my battery get lower than about 15%, ever. That's just me though. You should never charge to 100% or discharge below 10% on a lithium battery. I was told that 80% should be your max and 10% the minimum. Either way, when I'm not using my device, I plug it in if it's under 50% so my battery is always charged to enough to keep the device running at it's optimal. But most of all, I don't run Pie on my 6. I am running Nougat. I hate "O"and "Pie". No custom features... 😎
I can't tell you that. You have to understand that no 2 devices are exactly the same. What works on mine may not be the same for you. That's why we flash and test. I can give you an example of one. The only reason I'm running Nougat is because I don't like a rom that doesn't have a lot of custom features. To be honest, If marshmallow ram as good as Nougat on my device I would be running that. It has the most custom features of all the roms IMHO. So, it's about custom features for me. If you don't mind missing those features and want to run the latest, then there is no reason why you wouldn't run one of these Oreo or Pie builds. It's all about personal preference.
@@dodofromdodo25 I really can't answer that for you. I am running Candy 6 6.0.1 right now on my Nexus 6. I just felt like running a rom that s supported CMTE for a while. Next week I may be back on a 7.1.2 rom. They are all great roms but you have to set your priorities and pick the build that has what you are looking for. The higher up you go, the less custom features your going to get. Again, it's a personal preference thing. What I think is the best for me may not be the best for you. You just have to try them and see, or watch my videos and see which rom has the right features for you. I have over 350 videos out there.
I can say that I has no issues with the microphone. There was an issue with a couple music apps on the first release but even that is fixes now. I would do another "clean flash". Then I would test the mic volume before installing any of your normal apps. Then install one app at a time and test the mic after each app install. I say this because it most likely is an app causing your issue.
Please go back and watch the entire video. Or read the other posts under this video (in the post section). This has been answered many times. I am not trying to be a jerk here either. But if you watch the entire video you will understand why you are having this issue and how to fix it. 😀
That depends on what phone you have. It will install on the Nexus 6 only. But it doesn't matter what carrier you are on as long as it is a Nexus 6, this rom will install.
I am uploading a video now on how to check your device for encryption, how to decrypt it if it is and how to flash the latest (fixed NitrogenOS 9.0 Pie by @nittin.chobhe) on your Nexus 6. This is a long video. It has to be as I didn't skip any steps. I actually backed up my device and formatted my data partition, then flashed all the zips needed and booted the device up and went over (quickly) the new rom. There should be no question on how to do this now, but you have to watch the whole video
Try and go to advance wipe on twrp, If you don't have that installed then there are different ones to help you flash it. But I remember I had trouble with this. I don't remember exactly what i did, But good luck.
I don't know that there is a tweak or settings that will help Battery life. If you are having Battery issues my guess is that you are on your original Battery and it is time to replace it. I am lucky that mine still works well, but no where close to like it was new. These are aging devices and some elements of the device are going to wear. And since the lithium ion Battery has a pre-determined amount of charge times built in it, you are most likely ready for a new one.
@@johnmartin2600 You sir are very welcome. If you decide that a new battery is for you, there are several videos on replacing this devices battery and it's extremely easy to replace on your own and the price is right too.
Well, NFC works on this device, and most roms have it in the settings, so I would have to say yes. I do not have this rom on my 6 right now so I cant test it myself... Sorry...
Wow. I never had that issue. Did you do a clean install? I always install a new rom or even an update, if it's a custom rom, with a clean install. Wiping both caschs, system and data.
@@HayesTech yes bro, I did a clean installation, delete cache, system, I did wipe 3 times, and the camera doesn't work anyway, I tried to install another camera app and it doesn't work either, with other roms the camera works without problems

@@HayesTech ok bro no problem, could you recommend a stable rom with good battery life? that has android 9 and the pixel interface? , since with the lineage I have seen that my nexus is very hot and also the battery wears out fast, right now which is the best rom for you with android 9 for the nexus 6?

My 6 is running Frankie's S.i.Xrom and it always does but for Android 9 it's RR still the way for me. But my needs and wants are different from most. I want to customize my devices rom and don't use a lot of apps that a lot of you all use. RR is battery friendly, in my testing, and just a solid rom. And this is all just my opinion and based on nothing but that. Just back up, and try what's out there. There is sure to be something that will suit you.
Well, you need an unlocked bootloader first and then TWRP recovery installed. Once that is done then watch my latest video on backing your phone up, then formatting your data to get rid of forced encryption (if you are encrypted) and flashing Pie onto your device. th-cam.com/video/H6d-cop0olw/w-d-xo.html

@@juliocuellar6406 i mentioned that in the video. Just let it go and it will settle down. I said that the best thing to do was to let the device sit for about 10 minutes after the first boot to let the rom settle in.
I still have my 6p too. Still on the original battery yet and no issue with the boot of death yet either. I still think the 6 is a better device but I still love the 6p too.
@@HayesTech 24hrs of operation with this new battery. Nexus 6 seems to have a larger development community. I'm working on upgrading 6p to pie but I live off following TH-cam tutorials and am at a loss here
Maybe I will start doing some more videos on the 6p. The only reason I stick to the 6 most of the time is it's popularity. But I will stick in a few more vids for our 6p.
i don't like this rom way to bugy when you first click on apps after reboot. ti backup does not work. themes don't work the color is from old android sounds are from kitkat it amost seem like a half assed rom project. oh ps google pixel launcher works but gives you 2 app droors and no way to swipe your apps away pretty dumb even if you flash stock gapps and one other thing it likes to shut off the screen while you wathc using mx player pro. so over all its not to good yet .
Seems that you are having issues that others aren't. Don't know what to tell ya. Pie isn't my thing either but I don't blame the dev, they are working with what Google gives them. That's why we back up though, in case we don't like the rom or have issues, we can go back to what we were running.
You must not have watched the whole video. Also in a lot of the posts under yours this has been asked but I will explain again. You can not install Android Pie on your Nexus 6 unless you are unencrypted first. The reason it's asking for a password is because you were encrypted before flashing this rom and there is no password. Encryption does not work with Pie on the Nexus 6 yet. You need to format your data Partiton in TWRP to fix this. I have a video out showing how to do this as well. The link to that video is in the video description and in a couple of the posts below. Thank you for watching and posting. I recommend watching this video again and this time watching the whole video. : )
What exactly do you need help with? I have several videos out on how to flash roms on the Nexus 6. There are also many very good videos out on how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I recommend Wugg's Fresh "NRT" tool kit, if you are me to this. It will set up adb and basically do everything for you as far as unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. Although, if you are already familiar with adb, you can go ahead and do all of that manually through adb.
Ok, i know that my videos are long. But they aren't long because I like to hear myself talk...lol... Quite the opposite actually. They are long because I talk about everything and every issue I may have had with the install or actual setup and running.

Yes, unfortunately you do have top have your bootloader unlocked and have the latest TWRP custom recovery installed. But fortunately, if you have a Nexus 6, it is one of the easiest devices to unlock thew bootloader on. lthere are many videos out on how to do this so that is why I haven't made one.

No it does not. As long as you have your bootloader unlocked and then have the latest TWRP recovery installed, you just boot to recovery, make backup (off device) make sure you are not encrypted (this is a must) then wipe system, both caches and data. Then flash the rom, then the gapps (arm 9 pico or.nano) and then Magisk v17.1 (if you want root). Then boot to system and let device sit to settle in for at least 5 minutes after the initial boot.

You just gave me some faith in my Nexus 6. It's been lagging lately but I believe installing this rom and a fresh battery will give me a new phone for a fraction of the price! Screw planned obsolescence!
Lol. I hear ya. Hope everything works out for you.
@Hybrid Theory
About 4 hours SOT. but I am still running with my stock battery too. My Nexus 6 could really use a new battery.
@Hybrid Theory
Well, getting 4 to 5 hours SOT at this stage, with the battery that came with the device, is pretty darn good. Yes i used to get 6 to 7 hours SOT till last year. So it about time to replace the battery. But it's fine for me right now so I'll keep it on the list of "too do" thinks I have to get to.
installed this last night.. thanks for the help here! So far so good.. fresh breath of new life in my Nexus 6, gestures I already feel good about using just after a few hours of use.. it really feels smooth and snappy too, not too far off from my Galaxy s8 plus when running a few programs, havent given it a full day stress test/daily driver run through yet. Everything has been working great other than the gallery app.. after I take a photo and try to view it the gallery app shows it and soft crashes. Also battery life seems pretty darn good for a 4 year old phone. from a full charge 45 minutes of screen time brought it down to 72 percent so likely 3+ hours of SOT is not too bad.
Good to hear it's working out for you. This is a really nice build if you want Pie on your 6.
Hi David! Thanks for your review. I think I am gonna give it a shot. But I wanted to know your opinion about one thing. Of all the roms you have reviewed till now, which one you think is most stable for daily use? I am really tired of changing roms, and I want to settle down to one. Thank you. :)
Very nicely done video.
I used to own a Nexus 6 but sold it last year. Wish I still had it though. What a great phone. I really miss those two front facing speakers. Yeah I know it doesn't have a fingerprint sensor, and it's a 32-bit phone and not 64-bit. And I know it isn't bezel-less and doesn't have the more modern 18:9 display ratio. However, many of the specs it does have can still compete with some of today's phones.
The only thing I wish Motorola had done was give the Nexus 6 a better front facing camera. I mean 2 mp is just not going to get it done for selfies and all.
Nevertheless when I did have my Nexus 6 I ran Nitrogen OS on it and it was buttery smooth then, so I am sure it's even better now, especially on Android 9.0.
Makes me want to go and buy another Nexus 6, and I just might do that.
Thanks for a very good video.
You are very welcome and thank you for the kind words. Some of the features you mentioned that the 6 does not have, like the fingerprint reader and display that the Samsung's and other new devices have, I wouldn't want anyways. (Just my preference). I understand where others, like your self, would want them though. I don't use the fingerprint reader on my Pixel 2XL, Nexus 6p, my Moto e4 and the e4 plus or the LG V10. I (my other devices do not have fingerprint reader either). I just don't care for locking my device. But, I also don't use it for making purchased either, or at least store anything on it that i wouldn't mind anyone seeing...lol... No porn...lol.. I don't use Google Pay or any of those other high security apps. As for the new style screen modes or aspect ratios, I don't care for the long thin screen. I do wish it had borderless display though. Thank you so much for watching and for posting.
@@HayesTech Your welcome.
Yeah, I also am not into the modern stuff that the new flagships have. I only mentioned those things because they're the trend right now.
However, I don't really care for the fingerprint sensor or the 18:9 ratio.
I prefer big and wide screens like on the Nexus 6. And all this iris scan and facial recognition, I don't want or need. Nor do I need a phone with 8gb of ram and 512gb of storage and four or five cameras. I mean come on phone manufacturers. They must think people are using their phones to travel to Mars to need all that firepower. LOL
I also refuse to pay $1000 or more for a device that is only warranteed for 2 years and most new devices start to shows signs of performance decline before then.
At the time I sold my Nexus 6 it was three years old and running strong and the battery in it was the original one and was still holding a strong charge. They don't make them like that anymore. I regret that I sold my Shamu.
BTW, I did consider the Pixel 2 xl but I heard and read that the speakers on that phone are subpar for a flagship device.
I listen to a lot of music without ear buds or headphones (I'm a smooth jazz fanatic) so good speaker quality is a must for me.
Oh, and I had the Droid X (running Froyo and Gingerbread) the original Moto G, the Moto G4 play, the Moto E4 and E4plus, a couple of LG phones, and currently using the Moto E5 play as my daily driver.
Out of all those phones I still prefer the Nexus 6.
Probably gonna wind up buying another one.
@@ereztree Motorola makes some of the most awesome devices. I'm my humble opinion... You're is certainly top notch. The way I see it is, I'm going to use my Nexus 6 as long as I can. As long as they have parts for it, if needed, I'll just keep fixing what needs fixing...lol.. I too am still on my original battery and haven't had to do anything to mine so far and I have flashed note roms on it than most. I absolutely love this phone. There speakers in the Pixel 2XL are nice for conversations and videos but as you stated, are not the greatest for music consumption. But, since I don't listen to music on it, they are ok for now. But honestly, I use my 6 as my DD and the Pixel 2XL for video recording and taking pictures only.
Thank you very much for this video. My Nexus 6 has been struggling for a few months, not accepting Lineage OS 15 updates. This ROM has successfully installed (after a bit of a struggle with encryption errors, even though the phone wasn't encrypted! formatting solved this), and given it a new lease of life. Looks good so far.
A couple of teething troubles: It wouldn't receive SMS, until I went into the phone settings and added the message centre number. Had to google it for my phone network.
Also, it wouldn't find the phone network until I entered airplane mode, and turned airplane mode off again. Could just be my device, but mentioning in case they help someone out there.
No problem with "long" videos. They're very helpful. Been running Nexus Pure with Blackbird kernel thanks to your video. Any thoughts on how to source a decent replacement battery for these great phones? I've yet to find one that comes close to matching the quality/battery life of the original.
NewEgg.com is a good source for OEM parts. This is where I ordered other batteries for other devices I own like my OnwPlus one.

Hello, great vid. have a question -> how does your battery performs or did you change one?
I'm still on my original battery. I get about 4 hours solid on time. That's usually playing solitaire and watching videos. I think it would be better, if I replaced my battery though. Thank you for the comment.
@@HayesTech Well, I have my nexus 6 for about 4 years and experience the same amount of battery lifetime. Was curious as I'm considering getting pixel 3a as in my country i'm not able to change battery =( Thou everything else on phone meet my needs. Thanks for a reply.
@@tag243
Wow, really? Is it that you can't actually purchase one? They are easy to replace, from the videos I've watched. I thought about replacing mine but 4 hours is solid use time is good enough for me as I don't ever start on my phone that long anyways.
@@HayesTech Yes, really. The problem is not in changing but ordering battery. Cheers.
@@tag243 damn man, that sucks
Thanks David for another great review! I completely agree. Nexus 6 best phone ever. We sure got our money's worth with with this phone. Especially thanks to the devs that keep it going. Thanks again Dave.
You are very welcome. Nittin put out another winner. From what I have been reading, the few issues I mentioned in the video were fixed too. So no random reboots now.
I remember being like this with 1st Android phone yes there little risk but trust me it well worth it get more use out of the phone
This was also my favorite phone ! I'm also using the 2 xl I broke my 6 gonna replace the screen and try this
To bad to hear you broke your 6. Good luck to you though in fixing it, and there are plenty of parts to help you do that.. They are, in my opinion, still the best device every made and I'll never get rid of mine.
Hi David, thanks for great vid. Just a quick question - Does this ROM/kernel support SwipeUp to Wake and SwipeLeft to Sleep like it is in EX Kernel Manager? Thank you.
To be honest, I'm not sure and I am back on 7.1.2 right now. I would say, make a back up and try it out and if it's not for you then you can restore your backup. Sorry I don't have the answer for you, maybe someone else can jump in and give you an answer.
@@HayesTech Thank you for your answer. And may I ask why did you get back to Nougat? Pie is not ready to be daily driver yet?
Actually, Anything higher than nougat, just doesn't have the custom features I like. My favorite of all mods is the 3Minit battery and it was killed in code after nougat. Others like headers and so on are all a no go with Oreo and Pie. That's the only reason I stick on nougat. I don't need to be on the latest android to be happy. It's all about features that I like and not the so called "latest and greatest". While I admire and invite progress, the so called "progress" needs to at least appeal to me. Oreo and Pie does not. I do feel that there are enough working features in these Pie builds to make them daily drivers though.
the battery was 92% at the beginning and it had 79 %in the end seems pretty usable i was planning on getting a used one today ,would you recommend it as a daily driver?
Question I am running carbon rom on my Nexus 6 can I flash Android 7.0 blackbird kernel on this pie rom will it work???
One question Dave, how does this ROM run on Verizon?
Hi Haye.. i just flashed this rom is beautiful. But I have a little problem . Music doesn't work. What can I do? All my downloaded song do not sound. :(
There is a fix on the thread. Google must the isn't working with many, if all all the Pie builds right now. They are working on it. I don't listen to music on my phone at all so that is one thing I did not test.
You mean safetynet fix zip? Can u help me with that
No, there is a fix or work around for the sound issue. I don't know exactly where it's at in the thread and I am very busy with family this weekend so I can't search it for you. But if you go on the thread either read to find it, or post your question there and someone can get you an answer faster than I can. Good luck and happy flashing..😀

I will read and try , thanks a lot
I wish I could do this for my nexus 6., just afraid I will mess it up. I bought my N6 in spring 2015 for 200 bucks. I actually just bought a mate 20x, my N6 battery is getting weak but never getting rid of it.
I totally agree, I'll have mine as my dd till it dies. I would take the plunge (especially now, since you have another device) and go custom..
Good luck to you and thank you for posting.
Hi David.. have you experienced any issues with Nitrogen?
And I want to get this phone. Do you think by the time R is released it can be installed on it? In essence I'm looking for a future proof phone. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
.
First off, this rom runs great and the only issue I knew of was camera app and they have a good for it. As for the Nexus 6 as a future proof phone, Google stopped supporting this device last year. The developers are the ones keeping this great phone alive. I will use mine till it dies and my dd is still 7.1.2...
Hi David.. Do you think the devs will still keep it alive with Q or R?
And you mentioned the cam was the only issue. Did you mean to say they have a good app for it? I think you made a typo.Lastly, I was looking into possibly buying the xiaomi mi max 3. Do you think its a good buy?
The camera app in some Pie roms, for some devices (not all, as mine is working great) force closes. But they have a fix for it in a zip.
As for your choice of phone, they make good Devices. But if your looking for a device to flash custom roms on, make sure there is a development community for it first. If that isn't your goal than it's all in what you like. I don't care what people think of the devices that I use and like. The device you mentioned should be just fine.
I am not sure how long the developers will be supporting the Nexus 6. I hope for a long time yet but I fear it's reaching it's end. Most of this is because of Google and not developers. Google is making it harder and harder for developers to customize Google's OS.
@@HayesTech Thanks for the input David. I need some time to think about which phone to get. XDA has huge development behind the xiaomi mi max 3. But its a bit pricey. As I said I'll think about my options. Thanks again David.
You sir are very welcome.
Do Nexus's update stopped on Android 6?
Are you asking if Google is supporting the Nexus 6 with updates? No. They stopped supporting it last year. But the custom developer community is keeping it up to date.
I can't get any gapps to work. What am I doing wrong?
Wow, that I don't know. I'll have to watch the video again to see witch ones I used. I haven't been running Pie on my Nexus 6 in some time.
I am having a new drawing for another giveaway in about a week or two. I am giving away a vlogging light for use on your cell phone while vlogging. If you want in watch this video th-cam.com/video/_Qh5GqPTDNg/w-d-xo.html
I do not see the camera app. Double clicking the power button tries to bring up camera but it crashes always. How to make camera work?
All I did was open the camera app from the app drawer. I am using Google camera.
This is the camera app I used
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera
Found a solution to this from XDA forum. Dirty flashing Nitrogen 09/14 ROM one more time makes the camera work. Google Camera app is not visible in Play Store
Alright. I've been waiting.
As more roms come out in Pie,I will try to get them out to you all. As is sits right now there are only 4 and one is mainly a stock rom
@@HayesTech off subject, but is that a Glock you holding? Have you seen the new model 45? It's like the 19X but black. I myself CCW a Glock 19 Gen. 4 😉
@@HayesTech thank you sir!
@@bseries8826
Lol... Nice catch. Yes it is one of my Glocks. It's actually my 31sf in .45acp. I no longer carry that daily but switched to one of my full sized 17s 3rd gen. The 3rd gen was my favorite but wouldn't turn down any of the newer models/updates. I recommend the Glock to anyone looking for a serious handgun that can afford it. But any of the other polymer framed pistols out with known brand names are also good solid choices. Your model choice is a good one too. I think the 19 is the most popular model Glock sells and for good reason. That is the only one I don't own though...lol...
Do I have to be rooted and have my bootloader unlocked before doing what is mentioned in the video ? Is there anything else that I need to do before flashing the rom. Plz help me because this is my first time flashing a rom.

Check my first post. I just posted it. That video will be ready to watch in a couple hours.
Hi... Did this process everything seems to be working fine... Except that I don't have data connection ... Can u help me with that please...
Others have commented that they too have had issues with data connection in Verizon. I quit using it after several updates because of not being able to access data with my Verizon sim. There is one for sure Nitrogen rom in Pie, that works with Verizon and I can't remember which group made it now. Give me a little time and I will research it and let you know. Also Carbon Rom works with Verizon devices.
The rom is Carbon Rom. That rom, for some reason, works great with Verizon devices.
I don't have Verizon... So there is nothing to fix the problem... Dam... That sucks...
@@MrOaktowncali i know it sucks. There are a lot of roms that don't work on Verizon devices now. Don't know what the issue is with your device though, because from the comments I've read, in that thread, it worked great in all the other devices. I would try again with a clean flash, backing up everything first, and wiping everything, data, system and both caches. Make a complete backup first though. Good luck.
I followed your instructions to the tee and it kept booting into TWRP. I finally had to revert back to 8.1 to get my phone working. Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks
Are you running the latest version of TWRP? Are you unencrypted? You have to have the latest version of TWRP installed (I am on 3.2.1.0). If you aren't unencrypted this rom will not work either. Are you unencrypted?

The is s fix for this somewhere in the thread on XDA. My camera is working but not all devices seen to and needs this fix. Go to the thread link in the description (where you go for the downloads) and post your issue. They can help better than I. I only reviewed the rom. If I find some time later, I will search as well but it will be faster for you to go to the thread and search/ask there. Thank you for watching and for posting.
This rom recomended for gaming ?
I don't see why not. I am not a gamer, at least not on my phone but there weren't any complaints on the XDA thread about issue with games either so I am guessing all is good. Lol... It's a Nexus 6... It will run anything....lol😁
Is the sim working and calling and messeaging too? I didnt watched the whole video im on just 1 minute now watching.....plz answer
I suggest watching the entire video so you don't mess your phone up. But yes everything is working. If you have a force close on your camera there is a zoo to fix that but the camera was working for me on the last build. You need to watch the whole video though because there are important information on encryption in it that must be followed.
@@HayesTech yes im still watching on 18 min lol
Good. Justwant to make sure that you have all the information. I've had a lot of questions on Forced encryption and I explain it all in the video.
anyone know if its possible to move the clock from the left to the right?
How does the Nexus 6 behave with a low battery level?
I don't notice much of a difference. I don't have battery saver on though. I also never let my battery get lower than about 15%, ever. That's just me though. You should never charge to 100% or discharge below 10% on a lithium battery. I was told that 80% should be your max and 10% the minimum. Either way, when I'm not using my device, I plug it in if it's under 50% so my battery is always charged to enough to keep the device running at it's optimal. But most of all, I don't run Pie on my 6. I am running Nougat. I hate "O"and "Pie". No custom features... 😎
So I should't install 8 or 9, just stay on android 7? I'm looking for best rom for my Nexus 6.
I can't tell you that. You have to understand that no 2 devices are exactly the same. What works on mine may not be the same for you. That's why we flash and test. I can give you an example of one. The only reason I'm running Nougat is because I don't like a rom that doesn't have a lot of custom features. To be honest, If marshmallow ram as good as Nougat on my device I would be running that. It has the most custom features of all the roms IMHO. So, it's about custom features for me. If you don't mind missing those features and want to run the latest, then there is no reason why you wouldn't run one of these Oreo or Pie builds. It's all about personal preference.
@@dodofromdodo25
I really can't answer that for you. I am running Candy 6 6.0.1 right now on my Nexus 6. I just felt like running a rom that s supported CMTE for a while. Next week I may be back on a 7.1.2 rom. They are all great roms but you have to set your priorities and pick the build that has what you are looking for. The higher up you go, the less custom features your going to get. Again, it's a personal preference thing. What I think is the best for me may not be the best for you. You just have to try them and see, or watch my videos and see which rom has the right features for you. I have over 350 videos out there.
I got a problem after flashing the rom. Microphone it not work really well its so quite. Anyone here got a problem like me,?
I can say that I has no issues with the microphone. There was an issue with a couple music apps on the first release but even that is fixes now. I would do another "clean flash". Then I would test the mic volume before installing any of your normal apps. Then install one app at a time and test the mic after each app install. I say this because it most likely is an app causing your issue.

please post some thing about how to improve battery life for nexus 6. thanks a lot
I don't know that there is a tweak or settings that will help Battery life. If you are having Battery issues my guess is that you are on your original Battery and it is time to replace it. I am lucky that mine still works well, but no where close to like it was new. These are aging devices and some elements of the device are going to wear. And since the lithium ion Battery has a pre-determined amount of charge times built in it, you are most likely ready for a new one.

Seems that you are having issues that others aren't. Don't know what to tell ya. Pie isn't my thing either but I don't blame the dev, they are working with what Google gives them. That's why we back up though, in case we don't like the rom or have issues, we can go back to what we were running.
Bro please share rom miu 9pro for nexsus6 😣
I need fitur2 xiaomi ...
I wasn't aware there was a MIUI 9 for the Nexus 6, or I would share the link.
this rom ask me the password what is the password please tell me the password sir
You must not have watched the whole video. Also in a lot of the posts under yours this has been asked but I will explain again. You can not install Android Pie on your Nexus 6 unless you are unencrypted first. The reason it's asking for a password is because you were encrypted before flashing this rom and there is no password. Encryption does not work with Pie on the Nexus 6 yet. You need to format your data Partiton in TWRP to fix this. I have a video out showing how to do this as well. The link to that video is in the video description and in a couple of the posts below. Thank you for watching and posting. I recommend watching this video again and this time watching the whole video. : )
Ok thanks sir
sir i like urs vids ... i live in Pakistan i have nexus6 and i will be root and install this rom plz kindly help
What exactly do you need help with? I have several videos out on how to flash roms on the Nexus 6. There are also many very good videos out on how to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP recovery. I recommend Wugg's Fresh "NRT" tool kit, if you are me to this. It will set up adb and basically do everything for you as far as unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. Although, if you are already familiar with adb, you can go ahead and do all of that manually through adb.
Here is s good video on unlocking your bootloader

Battery seemed fine for me. I used kennel audiutor mod (from XDA) to set governor to conservative.
