Have ANY of you who rooted your Nexus 6P experienced any negative effects or problems in the months afterwards? Meaning slower speeds, response, battery draining faster, crashes, freezes, etc....? I am just trying to see if there is a pattern anywhere from those who are rooted. I am sure it cant be but it'll be for my own peace of mind if anything in the future if I am to keep this phone for another while.
I also know of many apps that CAN be used only after you root, but are there also things you can NOT do after you root that annoyed any of you?
No problems after rooting here. The 6P is way more responsive and battery friendly after root. The only crashes I ever got was caused by myself and easily fixed because of root. The only negative is the tail chase with safety net. As of right now though rooting with Magisk will pass safety net. There might be a few apps that Magisk can't hide from root but none that I use.
Is anyone else having trouble keeping root? I have the NRD90U and I rooted via Nexus toolkit and installed pure Nexus. I go to download SuperSU and it said it couldn't find root access. Did I do something wrong besides using the toolkit to root?
I'm having issues finding a Rom that works on my 8.1 nexus 6p. Every Rom I like and Install their is always a issue. I installed the DU 8.1 Rom and Gapps and vender and the Rom and vender did nice,but once I installed the 8.1 arm gapp it said their was a issue. I figured I didn't do the wipe which, I did all except internal storage. This time it was both vender and gapps. Any advice? Should I just forget the DU vender and flash the stock image back?

Did you use the Nexus toolkit? I experienced the same thing until I did the adb route.

hello, i have one week with my nexus im very happy with it but i would like to root it, to test other stuff on my nexus....
but im afraid that google can get mad..
will google detect if i install other "os" on my nexus
will i loose my warranty if i install other os or gain root access?
if i get root access or install another "os" or "rom"...can i reset my phone
and get it like i just bough it?
iis the official nexus 4 android 4.x image always stored on my nexus 4 so i can reset the device anytime i want?
i think i may want to reset it if i want to get rid of lots of stuff or if i regret of having root or other roms
and i want to keep receiving updates from google.
one night i almost dared to root it..with one click...but i want first to have these questions answered
is google aware about each device about being hacked, rooted and dont give support if install modded roms
or i just simple reset and no one knows if i hacked or not.?
sorry about my questions..or about my english..i hope you understand and try to answer my doubts.
Hi,
I just recently rooted my phone as well..
As far as I'm aware, there is no way Google can tell if you have rooted, modded, hacked your phone, unless you give it to them in that state. What is reassuring though is that you can reset your phone exactly like it was from the box. You can unroot your phone, lock the bootloader and many of the guys around here will have links to the stock image if you require it.
Toolkit vs OneClickRoot.com
I am reading up on rooting the nexus 4 and was thinking I would use the one click root function in the toolkit by mskip, but I have seen the website oneclickroot.com which says this: Remember: One Click Root is 100% guaranteed to work and the process is completely risk-free. It is currently in beta and will apparently be running properly in a couple of weeks.
Is this legit and is it really any safer than the toolkit??
I have to post 10 times in order to comment on a thread about a Kernel.

need to post 10 times, so I'll answer even though you probably are past this. I used the toolkit. I couldn't find anything 1-click for the nexus. Maybe I just missed it.
Not my work, but I found this when looking for rastakat for my manta.
http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=cm11&device=otter
TWRP WILL NOT WORK, AS IT FAILS WHEN FLASHING KITKAT BASED ROMS. TRY COTR INSTEAD, BUT THAT IS STILL NOT GUARANTEED.
The only recovery that worked on manta was CWM, but that's out for the otter obviously...
I would also assume to use Paranoid Android's odexed Gapps(so ART compiler works, and doesn't FC Gapps all the time)
Gapps: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/gxxxpkbcke4yi/PA_GApps_-_Official_Releases
And finally, CM11 might be pre-rooted, but if it isn't here's SuperSU
http://download.chainfire.eu/351/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.zip
Can anyone confirm if it works? I haven't had time to flash yet.
Trying now
---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------
It won't install with COTR or TWRP. So close ...
Actually, it is saying it is for Blaze devices and not Otter, but it says otter in the build.prop and it looks like a 1st gen to me.

Okay, that's what I feared. Either TWRP or COTR have to be updated before they can flash KitKat ROMS. I am not sure why, but until that happens we can only look on and wait...

Here you go. I zipped up all 3 files you will need
Do Not flash my zip.
extract the 3 zips out to sd first and then flash.
flash twrp 2.6.3.1 first
Reboot recovery
then rom
then gapps.

Awesome, thanks. Did you mess with the flashing/installer script? Let's try to get this thread moved to the dev section. Someone might be able to figure out the wifi issue and it might be a good base for others who might be working on a KitKat rom.

Yes i removed the blaze references on the updater script. Flashes and boots fine.
Just installed it. Wifi Doesn't work for now and its some graphical glitches but It hasn't been posted yet so its acceptable.
Just downloaded cm11 for otter from loosethisskin on goo.im. Only been playing with it for an hour. Wifi does work but it does have some graphic hiccups. Seems much faster than 4.3
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using XDA Premium HD app
The ROM over at fitsnugly.euroskank. [com] /?rom=cm11&device=otter has been updated to cm-11-20131117.1708-otter and it is very nice. Just make sure to update latest Recovery version or it won't flash.
Was loving the 20131116 build, wifi worked and everything seemed stable enough to run my apps after I got it all setup. Unfortunately, after updating to the 20131117 build, wifi no longer works (dirty flashed for the 1117 update). And reverting back I still have no wifi. The off/on is disabled. Maybe I will try a factory reset and reinstall...

Update: I did a Factory Reset and then flashed both versions, still no wifi. It is still disabled/greyed out. After several attempts I realized I wiped everything but system and sd... *sigh*
Wiped system, all is good...
Anyone know how to get those nifty transparent bars with our build?
Hi,
I installed this rom from Nov 14th, and I couldn't get root.
I tried flashing it from CWM, but still, no root access.
SuperSU says it couldn't install the binaries.
Does anyone has the same problem, or better yet, a solution?
This rom is really fast, the only thing stopping me from using it as a daily driver is not having root access.
I appreciate your help in advance.
Why not download the CM rom from their site. If you are i337 thinks is already loki'd
I run the 11/13 one no issues
Not sure on your root issue as haven't flashed Gummy. A little too aosp for me atm.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-cm/files/Nightlies/jflteatt/20131113/
use the 208mb one under parent folder

Thank you for your reply rugmankc.
Does CM comes rooted? or is it a method to root it? Does everything works? I read about some broken features, like bluetooth, IRDA, WIFI and Camera.
My only issue with gummy, is that I can't get root. Everything else works fine.
I've been using the Cyanogenmod ROM for a while now, A2016UV1.0.0B20, but I've been noticing a little more instability the longer it's running. Are there any recommendations for what ROMs I should look at, or places where comparisons of the available ROMs are posted? I do need a fairly stable device, and the Play Store doesn't work consistently anymore, even with a few hours of troubleshooting.
If there's already a thread with this kind of information, I'd love to get a link (I didn't spot one as I looked through the recent posts).
I'm using official Resurrection Remix and it is rock solid. Has never crashed on me yet
CandyRom ftw

Rerurrection Remix all the way. I went back to stock after some time though, but simply because stock works kinda more fluidly than custom roms. Also NucleaROM has been praised a lot, never tried it myself though.
Only stock ROMs can use the DAC, is that right? The only stock ROM was Bad Boyz?
Is there a guide for stock ROM with magisk? I just want Viper.

Most developers say that the AKM DAC is always used on all of the ROMs. No one is really sure though.
I think that Magisk 10.2 worked on the stock ROM, but I tried on stock MM a2017G and I couldn't even boot
I'm struggling to find a rom with working 4g... There was a big problem since december that some people from The Netherlands couldn't receive 4g. They fixed it in the last A2017G b04 update, but the modem doesn't work on custom roms.
Hm, I actually hadn't considered going back to stock. The peripheral features that ROMs add aren't typically my focus, as long I have root I can make it do what I want. I'll look into Resurrection though, I've heard good things
IMHO, I think that some phones just aren't worth the trouble of running a custom rom. I believe the Axon 7 is one of them. I've seen a ton of people wanting to go back to stock and have major problems. I have primarily used Nexus devices for the last several years, and they are awesome for running custom roms. The OnePlus is another great phone for tweaking, but to me running Oxygen is like running a custom rom to begin with. I wouldn't feel compelled to run a custom rom on a oneplus device, but it's certainly easy enough to do.
I'm not saying someone shouldn't run custom software on their axon 7, but good luck to you if you do. I'll stick to stock for now and wait until next year when the price will drop on a oneplus 5. See ya!
They do have the DAC working now b19 bootloader magisk unofficial nightly Resurrection Remix Viper 4 arise works with it just fine as well Rock Solid ROM better than stock much better than bad boys. Nuclear kernel is good also. Aicp is supposed to be good also I hear good things about the developer.
Most of the other ROMs right now our unofficial or haven't been developed for a while.

Try flashing LineageOS over stock B04 without the LOS bootstack. It should work.
If you ever want to get to stock, the best way seems to flash the stock recovery through TWRP, reboot to recovery, then flash an official system update ZIP. I killed my device trying to get back to stock using only twrp so be careful xd

Maybe you can flash your ROM then get the B04 modem zip and flash it? I did that with the B04 modem and had a slight increase in cell coverage, so it did work

If I can could you redirect me to a resource to do this root tutorial.
I rooted mine using the Eng boot method short for engineering boot I believe. It is not true root and lots of people seem to have problems with lag and battery life. But I get through the day using my phone regularly throughout the day without a problem. I use lspeed on the battery profile and my battery lasts the day. Just search for eng boot method you will find it. I really haven't found any issues with this method of root for what I use root for. Mainly to get rid of unwanted apps and to change the boot animation from the stupid att one. You will need to have adb set up on computer. Let me know if you need any help.
Also there are no custom roms or custom recovery. I am using one of the unlocked variant roms on the att model phone without a problem.
The engineering boot root method is a real root method. You can do all the root related activities you want with it, such as altering the build.prop, TiBu, AFWall, etc. You just can't run a custom kernel or use a non-TouchWiz ROM.
Now, that said, the AT&T Nougat ROM starts you behind the 8-ball on lag, which the engineering kernel tends to exacerbate. I found my S7 Edge barely usable with rooted AT&T firmware. I couldn't reliably record video, the launcher would stutter all the time, etc. It was miserable, but I might have been one of the unlucky ones and gotten a marginal processor.
I would convert to the U firmware and root that. Unrooted stock U firmware is head and shoulders better than A in terms of lag and cruft, so it might be tolerable rooted.
