Poll: *** Google Nexus 6 ***

[Space Monkey]

OK, so I've finally unlocked the bootloader, installed custom recovery and I'm now rooted as SuperSU is installed (does this leave me open to security issues?)

Also, did I need to root for flashing 5.01?

In the app you can enable/disable sleep mode, not sure if you can set it by time or if it's just a manual thing, I've not tried using it. Might be able to use tasker to disable it at night?

Sorted mate.
In settings you can set the times you dont want the light to come on (0100 - 0800 eg)

OK, so I've removed the encryption, seems a little smoother, still having lag in Chrome, but I'll see if that settles down?

 

[Fubsy]

I'm getting that lag in Chrome as well. Does it freeze every time you try to load a new page?

Just unlocked the bootloader, there was nothing to tell me that that part of the process was going to wipe my phone

Yup - PITA!

 

[AndyCr15]

True it should tell you, but it's always been that way.

Going back a year, I always unlocked the bootloader before I did anything else. These days I don't as actually rooting isn't as necessary as it used to be for me.

 

[kona786]

Android and Root goes hand in hand for me. A must!

 

[AndyCr15]

Yeah, it used to for me. I guess since you don't need root to backup and restore app data any more, I've not been so tied to it.

 

[andy_mk3]

Yup - PITA!

I've not lost anything of value but it is a pain, might as well do the whole not now!

So far I've got the bootloader unlocked, flashed the custom recovery disabled forced encryption. I think I just need to update to 5.0.1 and root then I'm done!

Yep

 

[AndyCr15]

So from Google + I'm getting the impression this is how everyone's device behaves -

Surely that can't be right, with it randomly waking like that?

 

[andy_mk3]

^ I've noticed mine doing that.


How the hell do I install 5.0.1 damn it? I have the OTA file downloaded.

Am I the only one that can't place a call when connected to 4G ?

Think I heard of this over on xda.

Checked through this?

Just put lean kernel on and got a nice little performance boost. Also being able to select 6500k colour has made an improvement to the screen.

No idea on this chrome lag, are you guys encrypted as I can't replicate it?

Done it! Had to extract the OTA file and do it through ADB.

 

[AndyCr15]

Where did you get the OTA file?

**EDIT** Here I guess?

Ahh, you need an unlocked bootloader for it I guess I'll wait.

How on earth do you enable emoji on Google keyboard in android 5.0? There is nothing in settings to turn them on

 

[Space Monkey]

Finally on 5.0.1

For those of you on 5.0.1 (32GB devices), in settings>storage, what are you showing as 'Total Space'?

Mines showing 22.29GB, it was 25.94GB under 5.0?


(Edit: Just re-locked the bootloader and its gone back up to 25.98GB!)

For my random wake ups, it could be LightFlow. I hadn't realised it was installed, but as I touched my Nexus 5 to setup, it installed everything the N5 had...

Uninstalled now. Already seems better
