[ROM][(Un)OFFICIAL] LineageOS 15.1 for Nexus 6 (shamu)

[Genghis1227]

Finally, it's own thread!

 

[PartyPlease]

I'm waiting for ElementalX also, I used it on 14.1 and it completely removes all the stutters and speeds it up. Also no 2 core offline at 50%

As the maintainer explained to me, elemental X is just a fork of the lineage os kernel. You can pretty much get everything elemental x has to offer from stock kernel. You can even use the elemental X app to control the kernel if you like it.

can anyone confirm that Qualcomm QuickCharge is working or not? I am using the Motorola charger, but the charging speed is slow, the phone is not even hotter during charging

Can confirm quick charge is working on my end. Charging at 2100mA while the screen is on.

I downloaded the 15.1 nightly, wiped device and installed the latest gapps as well. I keep getting a "validation error, you might be victim of software counterfeiting". I did not have this with beta4. Any idea what this is?

** i see in another 15.1 thread for another phone that maybe it's a april fools joke. I reverted back to beta 4 until next build I suppose.

Can be disabled by typing this into terminal:

su setprop persist.lineage.nofool true && stop && start

Root terminal is required tho. Bad april fools prank IMO.

If you have no su adb root works as well.

When I try to update from the lastest lineage os 14.1 build, it always comes up with an error saying that the package is meant for device "shamu" and I have a device called "."

This results in the update aborting and I cannot find a way to fix it

Is there was a way to get the pixel nav bar on this new version? Thanks for any assistance!

OK, don't know what went wrong. My twrp is requiring a password that I never set. I searched and tried default_password. No go. Tried all old and new passwords. No go. Please tell me there's an easy fix.

Got the same problem since I installed latest twrp & los 15.1 official. no matter what I do - set a new password / pin / pattern match / disable password at all - twrp keeps asking for a password. Already did a factory reset & wiped data partition in twrp, but no effect.

Still hoping that I will be able to flash the new los build next Monday.

Any help on this is appreciated.

I may reflash twrp. Maybe it will reset. Come on phone geeks, help us out.

I just ordered new battery for my nexus 6 to keep it alive for 1 more year (at least), and the same day you guys gave me this good news of arrival of 15.1

Awesome...

Thank you So much Lineage Team.

Has any one know how to enable widget with weather ? I tried installing 14.1 weather providers but they are not visible

I have been using an app called "Weather & Clock Widget" from the play store. The widget works very well. Were you looking for something specific

This is usually solved by reading the OP...

DON'T USE TWRP 3.0.2-0 OR OLDER WITH LINEAGEOS. IT DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. USE VERSION 3.2.1.0 HERE

@barbara-luise
You have to use the "Format Data" function of TWRP in order to unencrypt. The wipe functions don't help here.

Hi guys. My wife recorded a sample video. On the Lineage OS firmware, the sound is written much quieter than on the stock firmware. Is this a bug? Will it be corrected?
Samples (Google Drive):
LineageOS.mp4
Stock.mp4

I wonder if that is related to my issue with the speaker volume being much lower than stock ?

Just tried it (made a video at the same time with my stock n6 and my 15.1 n6): Can confirm, the volume of the 15.1 video ist way quieter than the stock one (Google Camera).

I wonder if that is related to my issue with the speaker volume being much lower than stock ?

Still can't confirm that

This is just a very minor thing but, why can't you move the clock to the center of the status bar? I mean, you could on 14.1 ........

Maybe I just can't seem to find the option.

You have to use format instead of wipe for data partition.

I had the same issue. My guess is LOS encrypts the data partition with its own random key and encrypts the key with some unknown password or pin.

The steps I took were: backup data because data and internal storage needs to be wiped.
Format data from twrp. Wipe system, data, cache and delvik.
Reboot to recovery again. Did not work for me without reboot.
Transfer rom and gaaps to phone and flash. LOS did not encryt the data in this way for me.
I used the USB drive to flash from twrp.
Hope this helps.

I used the USB drive to flash from twrp.

Thanks. I will give it a try.

Could you please clarify what you mean with "I used the USB drive to flash from twrp"? Further, what backup tool did you use? Im asking because twrp fails to backup the data (due to the encryption).

 

[johnyg07]

Thanks. I will give it a try.

Could you please clarify what you mean with "I used the USB drive to flash from twrp"? Further, what backup tool did you use?

I have a USB utg cable. (Male micro USB to female USB type A). Just plugged in a USB drive with rom and gaapps on it to flash from twrp.

And which backup tool did you use?

And which backup tool did you use?

I used folder sync app to copy the files from phone to network share.
I only wanted to save download folder, photos, videos and titanium backup of some apps.
It was really slow process. 1 MBps transfer rate max. There may be other ways to copy data faster.
