    Post [ROM] CyanogenMod 13.0 Nightlies

    You can delete it before first boot in TWRP as well. Just mount the system in the mount menu after flashing CM/GAPPs and use the built in file explorer to delete it. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Post [ROM] CyanogenMod 13.0 Nightlies

    I'm building my own instead of downloading the nightlies, but no problems with screen recording here. You might try wiping the system partition in recovery before you flash. It's a pain reinstalling all the apps, but if you're dirty flashing a lot of these, the issues start to creep in after a...

    Post [ROM][ALPHA] CyanogenMod 13.0 | Android 6.0 Marshmallow | [11/10/2015]

    I'm no expert, but this likely has something to do with how/where you extracted the proprietary blobs. Did you get them off of your phone? Or did you use The Muppets repo? Quite honestly, it's easier to build in Linux. Setting up OSX's toolchain for android is dicey.

    You're right, it was the theme. I toggled it on/off, rebooted, and now it's all good.

    Post Nexus 6 $349 (32gb) new at Amazon, 64gb $399

    I've been using Nexus devices since the Nexus One and I had originally bought a Nexus 6 at launch, but ended up trading it for a Note 4 because of the removable battery/SD card slot. And so many people use the Samsung devices, I also just wanted to give it an honest try. Fast forward almost a...

    Post Nexus 6 $349 (32gb) new at Amazon, 64gb $399

    Glad I ordered right away, just received mine today... $400? What a no-brainer. I'm very happy to ditch my Note 4 and get back to the Nexus line. What a fool I was! Never again, Samsung, never again.

    Post Battery life

    I didn't go through every page, but it seems to me that one variable people don't seem to think about much is the fact that not all the stock batteries are created equal. I use my N4 all day long so I purchased a couple extra stock batteries (official ones through samsung) to ensure that I...

    No issues here pushing files to the watch over Bluetooth. Thanks to all who made this update happen. The TS has always been useful for me as a fitness device but now that the external speaker actually works with the phone well enough to hold a short conversation, I have zero complaints...

    Post [ROM][KK][4.4.2][STOCK]Omate TrueSmart IRONMAN Firmware

    Really? All that comes up for me is a welcome screen that doesn't let me select anything or get past it. I even tried hooking up a Bluetooth keyboard to see if that would let me select whatever it is on the screen that is halting progress. Guess I'll try uninstalling and starting over.

    How are you getting the Google now launcher working? Are you changing the DPI, using xposed or taking other steps? Google now is my favorite launcher but I'm having a heck of a time getting it working... I'd appreciate any tips you have, thanks!

    Agreed, I feel like 6.5 inches would be perfect as long as the bezels stayed small. As it stands, my Nexus 7 has been left at home since I switched to the phablets. Just a smidge more screen and I don't think I would feel like I was missing anything at all. Pretty sure my wife would punch me...

    Seems strange how so many different people can have such a different experience with each phone. I've been an unapologetic Nexus fan boy since the Nexus One.

    I used tubemate back in the day and it worked great, but my issue now is that you go to tubemate.net and the links it gives for supposedly "safe sites" have different version numbers of the apk and want a bunch of weird permissions. YTD at least has an XDA thread and the source is available...

    Post Cases for the Note 4

    Hey, just bought the UAG folio case... Don't know if you're having this issue or not but, on mine at least, the magnets on the back side of the case that are meant to hold the flap closed actually create a dead spot for the S-Pen along the right hand side. Do you mind testing yours? I'm...

    Post T-Mobile 64gb has AT&T logo on the back.. Is this a joke?

    Lol. Thankfully they aren't locking their N6s, and yeah, their service doesn't have the best coverage, but I burn 25-30GB a month. Can't do that on big blue without selling a kidney.

    Post Note 4 vs Nexus 6...

    I'll chime in on the camera part... Both cameras are excellent for their intended purpose... We use a digital camera for anything we want to truly capture as a memory. Even the cheapest of those spanks both the Nexus and Note in the picture department. I know not everyone is that way, but at...

    Yeah, I received mine... I'm sure other folks have as well. You're really having some bad luck if you had that order in before 12:15 eastern time. I ordered two, one at 12:05 EST and one at something like 12:40 EST and received both in two days.

    Can you ditch the nav buttons as well in Nova? I'd like to find a way to do that and then use pie controls from the side to make it more one hand friendly.

    Post Nexus 6 - To Case or Not To Case

    I wish it had a back like the N5, I like to go naked generally, but I'm scared I may drop this thing. It is too slippery. And by all accounts, it seems to have a low survivability rate due to it's heft. Has anyone seen a case that's grippy, yet not too dorky looking??
