As pixel C is 64 bit, should i download arm64 gapps instead of arm gapps ?

Yes, arm64 should work fine.

Did you apply any patches that improve the slow wifi download speeds?

I haven't noticed slowness in WiFi, if you have problems like this then let me know

Interesting Did you also try it on stock rom? Because for a lot of people, including me, wifi speeds seem to drop rapidly after a certain distance from the router: https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/nexus/CM9tv3pjTfQ

Will try out your Rom on the weekend. Anyways, thank you for bringing Cyanogenmod to our Pixel C

I didn't notice it on stock either but I wasn't looking for the problem either, will check later at home on cm-13.0. I'll post some network transfer speeds.


How far from the router should I be to see the issue?

Thanks in advance. Just some speeds to compare with:

Pixel C
Down: 27,31 Mbps
Up: 15,51 Mbps

Galaxy S7 Edge:
Down: 111,64 Mbps
Up: 14,88 Mbps

Measured using the Speedtest app and Stock Rom on both devices at the same distance from the router.

For me its enough if there is one wall in between and 5m distance.

Hi ggow, which Gapps did you flash ?
The rom is working great except i can't flash Gapps !
For me, after flashing the Gapps, at start up the google configuration assistant crashes endlessly after flashing Gapps (both with openGapps and banks Gapps).

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Finally i have it working : just install the Gapps just after the flash of the system.
DO NOT boot the system before flashing Gapps, otherwise if you flash it after you won't be able to boot (the assistant will endless crash...).
If you did that mistake (like me), a wipe of the cash and of the data partition before flashing Gapps works

Yes, I used banks gapps, flashed directly after the ROM.

Thank you for your tests. Your results look promising Do you use 2,4 or 5ghz wifi?

I use 5ghz on a huawei talktalk router.
