The dev was kind and generous enough to build the N6 ROM after asking. As of now I have only found 2 minor bugs that are easily resolved. It is definitely a daily driver with WiFi calling, VoLTE, and camera all working.
If any of you are interested in this please pm or respond. If there is enough interest I'll update this post with links for download.
***Edit*** Here are the links if you are interest. This ROM is based on Lineage OS & updates OTA (the update is pushed by the developer and is downloaded/installed like stock). Please reach out to the developer to show your appreciation. Maybe he will "officially" begin to develop for the N6.
Look here for further information about the ROM:
Here's his N5 page on XDA.
Here's his N6P page on XDA.
Installed Prerequisites: Update to the latest TWRP, Radio, & Bootloader
- 3.1.0-0 TWRP --> or use the "Official TWRP App" from the Play Store.
- Newest Bootloader-72.02 --> Source
- Newest Radio-05.45 --> Same source link as the Bootloader.
ROM & Gapps
- DARK ROM: Nexus 6
- Dark_Gapps
Instillation Instructions:
Backup first... always backup first
Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
Install DARK ROM
Install provided GAPPS (Mandatory)
(Optional) Install root package of your choice (I recommend Magisk)
Enjoy !
Potential bug: Unable to send MMS Message while connected to WiFi:
Solution:
- For T-Mobile (& maybe other carriers?) under "T-Mobile MMS" APN you have to change the "APN protocol" to IPv4 (default is IPv4/IPv6 but it also doesn't work on IPv6 either).
OR
- Change the APN Type in the "T-Mobile US LTE" APN from "default,supl" to "default,supl,mms"
Please report back if you find any bugs!
