Android Nougat (final preview) factory reset => M?

So I just got Nexus 5x and signed up for the Android N Developer Preview Program. It upgraded my 5x to Nougat Preview 5 OTA. I'm wondering if I do a factory reset, would it bring my phone back to the old marshmallow ROM? Thanks!

Can't go back from developer preview 4

I am on developer preview 4 but since 5 is not coming to my Z3 (D6603) I wanted to go back to MM.

But Flash Tool won't recognize my device and PC Companion wont repair it either (after pluging it in with the volume down button pressed drives will fail to install).

Please help

N Preview 5 - wifi issues

Got the OTA, broke my wifi, grrr.

Basically for some reason with MM I can't get 5Ghz wifi, so I went down the N Preview route, and seemed to fix the wifi issues. Now with Preview 5, I've lost 5Ghz wifi again. Anyone else had this problem?

Android n developer preview 5 can't reply from lock screen anymore

Android N Developer Preview 4 can reply from the lock screen but I updated to Android N Developer Preview 5 and this feature is lacking. I really loved this feature and I checked the settings it is not present anymore please help I really want this feature back.

Going to preview 4.

I'm currently running the latest DU and I was wondering if I can just enroll into the beta program for preview 4 or is there some other things I have to do first? I'm using twrp recovery

[Q] Preview notification bar

I'm having issues trying to get my text message preview (also battery fast charge notification) to show in the notification bar.
They worked prior to the update, now they just won't show. I get the icons, but no text preview. I've made sure that under:
System Settings > (Apps) Messages > Notifications (on) > Preview message is checked on (i've even toggled it).
I've wiped cache, powered on and off....Still nothing.

I'm I going to have to bite the bullet and factory reset? I'd super really not want to but if I have to, then I have to.

i take photos with my Galaxy S5 and they show in the preview but wont open in gallery

I recently went on a cruise and took over 300 photos and videos and they all showed in the preview in the bottom corner as being there, now when i go to the gallery over half of them are black and wont open. Also i tried taking a photo just now and it show for a few seconds in the gallery and then changed right in front of my eyes to a gray screen with 1 line down the middle and now it wont open anymore.

[Guide] [How To] Android Nougat Developer Preview with Root/Encryption/Data

I've been meaning to write this guide for a little while now, but I've only just gotten around to it. Basically, I had wanted to try the N preview, but TWRP didn't play nice with it, so until now, it has been impossible to run N with encryption, root, and without wiping your data. In the interest of full disclosure, I found this solution while down a Reddit rabbit hole in a very short post at the end of some thread that I've been unable to find again, so I can't take full credit. Many thanks to this random Redditor.

I originally posted this solution in another thread, which I can't link to since I'm on mobile at the moment (I'll try to update later) but the tl;dr version is this: you have to wait to flash the vendor image from N until you're all done with twrp, but other than that, it's just like you're updating with a monthly security patch.
Actually hold on if you're reading this, I'm going to try to save this and go grab my laptop to do a proper job...

Android N Preview 4 & TWRP - bad command

I downloaded and installed Preview 4 on my device.

Once it was installed I rooted and flashed TWRP. Everything was working well except TWRP. Each time I booted into Recovery, 'bad command' displayed on the screen.

Wondering if anyone else encountered this or has any suggestions for further troubleshooting.

Thanks.

Poor battery life after Wear 2.0 Preview Fix

SUCCESS!
I am on the non-preview firmware. I've been using the watch for the last 2 1/2 day and there is still 30% battery left.
It looks like the total battery life would be 3 1/2 day.
Here is what I did:
1. (Thanks cardsbea.. @gmail.com) Main thing, drain the battery to complete 0%.
(optionally) After reaching 0%, the watch shuts down, to drain the battery even more, I waited a few hours and kept the crown pressed for a few minutes every 15 minutes. Or leave the watch discharged over night.

2. Something was fixed in Google Play: 9.2.56

3. On the phone: Settings/Storage & USB/Internal storage/Clear Cached Data (it looks like it also improved phone performance - less heat)

4. May fix some BT/WiFi issues: cycle Airplane mode on the phone and the watch once a while (turn ON, wait 1 minute, turn OFF). It looks like the Airplane mode resets the radios in a special way.

How to switch to Android N preview, [FLASH GUIDE, RESTORING BACKUPS, & MORE]

Before I get into this guide I am going to start off with a disclaimer. If you break or harm your device. Or make it unbootable. This is not my fault, and you understand that you are doing this at your OWN RISK.
Now let's get into the guide! :D
Tip for Section Number #1: If you are having trouble using the windows file explorer or any other OS, use Sync by BitTorrent and sync files to your computer, I am not promoting the app for any self gain, just a suggestion

NOTICE: ROOTING THE N PREVIEW IS ONLY POSSIBLE USING A DECRYPTED DEVICE FROM MY KNOWLEDGE

This will be separated into sections. As listed below:

Installing Android N with working TWRP
Rooting Android N Preview
Enabling Permissive SELinux without a instant reboot
More may be added in the future!

Installing Android N with a working TWRP
Easier method :
If you have Marshmallow already installed, you can enroll your device for a OTA of Android N Developer Preview. Or you can install Marshmallow and then do the same.
Longer method :
Backup all your userdata files (I MEAN EVERYTHING!) this will erase all of your files if you want a working TWRP.
1. Download the Android N .tgz file for your device from here -=OPTIONAL=-Download the modifed boot image with decryption on boot disabled for your Preview version here
2. Decompress/extract every file. (the main file and the image directory) I would recommend having all of them in the same folder
3. Make sure you have fastboot, then open a terminal/command prompt in that folder - Shift + right click in windows then open command prompt here
4. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR DATA BACKED UP, THIS IS NECESSARY IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR FILES AND HAVING A WORKING TWRP - optional
5. Boot your device into the bootloader, power down your phone (this is for nexus 6p) and hold the power button + volume down until you see a Android figure laying down
6. Do the following commands in a terminal with fastboot installed - this is inferring you have a unlocked bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img - the modified one you downloaded, if you did.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxxx-angler
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
-=OPTIONAL, FOR DECRYPTION AND WORKING TWRP=-:fastboot format userdata - do not flash the userdata.img unless you have a 32gb Nexus 6P.
fastboot reboot
Now, once the device boots. Set it up and go to Settings>Security and under encryption if you want a working TWRP, it should say Decrypt phone. If not, look back and see if you did a step wrong.

Rooting Android N Preview xx
1. Download the latest BETA of SuperSU or STABLE depending on your preference. STABLE, BETA onto your device's sdcard directory. (otherwise known as /storage/emulated/0/)
2. Reboot your device to TWRP by powering off your device, then holding the power button + volume down. Once in the bootloader, tap the volume down button until you land on Recovery. Then press the power button.
3. Go to the install section, and flash your SuperSU zip.
4. Reboot, it may reboot a few times. Let the device run it's course until it lands at the lockscreen, this is important.

Enabling a permissive SELinux without a instant reboot
Follow the guide here
In other words, download the logd file and copy and paste it to /system/bin/ then replace the other file after backing it up.
Then do
setenforce 0
in a terminal with root access on your device and then do getenforce to check if it's working.
This enables you to restore backups using Titanium backup, as it doesn't work without doing this.

Credit for SuperSU goes to @Chainfire
Credit for the modified boot.img goes to @Tigerstown
Credit for getting Permissive SELinux to work on Android N goes to @gubacsek
I do not take credit for any of the downloaded content, all of the downloaded files goes to their original creators.

PM me if anything is wrong, or edit this post!
Mods, if this post is in the wrong place. Move it to the correct place please!

Happy modding of your Nexus 6P on Android N Preview! :D ;)

N Dev Preview, TWRP Persistence

Has anyone noticed how TWRP doesn't persist with the latest N dev preview?
I'm not talking about systemless install, either.
I verified that TWRP renames "recovery-from-boot.p" to "recovery-from-boot.bak" before first boot, but on next boot into recovery, it's back to stock.
I even manually renamed "/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" to "system/bin/install-recovery.bak", and "/system/etc/recovery-resource.dat" to "/system/etc/recovery-resource.bak".
Then I deleted all three files; TWRP still gets overwritten with stock recovery.
AFAIK these are all the files associated with creating stock recovery from the boot image, so not sure what else to try.
As it stands, the only way to use TWRP is to fastboot it from pc every time you want to use it.

Btw, I know I can just use a custom rom instead, so please don't provide that as a "solution" lol.

Developer Preview flashable zips

Are there any flashable zips for N5X? If not, how do I make them from system images?

When I get flashable zips, can I just install them as secondary ROM, flash other kernel and multiboot them with other ROMs?

Currently I have a Nexus 5X with MultiROM installed. Decrypted.

[N preview] Double System Android in battery usage and memory management

Hi guys,
Currently I'm using N preview [locked bootloader, no changes) and in e.g battery usage and memory management I have Android System and Android OS. Okay, but isnt it the same? In Android System i have included packages, in Android OS nothing, and mosty it uses mosty memory and battery. Why does it happen? My phone can hold about 2,5h SOT and that's not a good score, because when i was running on franco kernel it could hold about twice longer.
Android System after all day uses about ~800 mAh, depends from as I use.
So, is it normal? I'm not going to root phone again because it's enough smooth, just battery life doesn't contents me.
