getting a 6p.

[ttocs99]

Hi. I'm getting a Nexus 6p and would like a little advice. The device I'm getting has been working flawlessly since the guy got it, the only problem was the battery which got replace about a month ago. Now my question starts here, when I'm going to install the custom rom etc... Should I use the blod patch as a precaution In case the performance clusters conk out? I don't use heavy 3d games etc just 2d text based and what custom rom runs fairly smooth on the lower cluster. Sorry to ask but had to so I can prevent mistakes from happening. Cheers.

a53 performance better than a57 and it cooler （because a57 always too hot），in geekbench 4 four core a53（shutdown all a57）than it can get single core score：600+，multi core score：2700+.In fact,this result are similar than my nexus 5(S:900+,M:2800+),you know,the nexus 5 is a pretty good phone ,s800 so smooth .Sorry for my english.

Understood you're explanation fine. And I had a couple of Nexus 5s. Nothing major I know of has happened to the 6p yet, but should I still go the 4 core route if the 8 cores still work?

I've just got it delivered today. The back housing is pretty rough so going to swap that over but asides from that seems to be working fine going to unlock bootloader soon though.

Well mine has a graphite back with a silver fingerprint sensor! So I could go white or just go back to silver.

I'm in the same situation. I got a Nexus 6p for a steal and replaced the battery and volume buttons.

I was going to flash a custom ROM but I've decided to stick with stock Oreo, root and run it like that. I'm not bothering with the BLOD patch - if it breaks it breaks.

It rarely gets hot with stock with everyday use (I'm not a gamer) but I'm not sure that is the case with custom ROMs.

Tell us what ROM you settle on.
