Under Construction — possibly forever
This is a low priority page that is just enough to get my phone going and something to which I can reference later.
I recently purchased the Nexus 6P because my Nexus 5X took a dump on me. Quite possibly due to the de-soldering of the SoC.
Basic Information
Nexus 6P is referred to as “Angler”. That is the code name for it so when looking for ROMs for this device, ensure that it is referencing “Angler” and not something else.
