Flashlight toggle on/off

I've recently realized that the flashlight toggle on quick settings disappears and appears once in a while.

I was on 21 Dec mod and thought it was an issue with that build. I've flashed latest build 05 Jan - Stable and still have that behavior.

Could it be a layers issue? I have a layer installed. or is it a bug @ atl4ntis would be kind to have a look at. :(

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
it's all about semantics. if you let people know what you already think to know and just want confirmation it will be seen as a totally valid point for a newcomer while seemingly coming up with empty hands can only mean no or bad search LOL

BTW use google search instead of XDA search. in most cases XDA is on top anyway but the search algorithm is way more sophisticated.

I flashed SuperSU 2.52 the conventional way (also wiped cache and dalvik) and now i am on a bootloop. Should i try with 2.6x?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
you flashed it after being on Cata Rom right ? if that's case you shouldn't get boot loop ( i mean you by chance didn't flashed it on Stock Rom directly bcz it will give you boot loop )

yes try 2.66 if it helps you.

and sry for inconvenience but i tried 2.52 just an hour ago and it worked without any problem ! so i suggested it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paradoxiumwind:
Thanks for the update!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
Hey guys, I should not need to post about this much more and I apologize for being intrusive but I updated my install post here, making it a little more generic and cleaned up the steps to flow a little bit better. Let me know if there are any problems.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ruabell:
about to flash the newest stable:

2. I want to use Pay

so which SuperSU with this build is recommended?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
you're certainly not in a bootloop because of 2.52 but because there is something else you did wrong, but since you don't provide any of your other steps and their order in process we can only guess and hit or miss. do proper reporting so we can help. SSU 2.52 works as well as it always did if no user error is involved.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
2.61 will work with Android Pay straight out of the box. I recommend 2.66 as it is the newest but you have to jump through some hoops to get it to work.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jenreban:
layers will not work for me.

tried fixes mentioned in earlier posts delete vendor/ overlay folder but i don't have a vendor/overlay folder.

installed busy box on rails that seemed to have fixed busy box.

on latest stable from today.

anyone any other ideas?

scrap that

installed busy box into /xbin even after busy box on rails was installed there and reinstalled my layers back up and all good
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
check in settings > cataclysm settings > LED control > color ! open it, it will probably be set to white even though it says default which once was white, while now you have to choose the counter clockwise arrow symbol and all will be fine. at least it was like that in my case and i hope it solves it for yout too.

I'm with the 21 dec mod. I'm trying to install jan 05 full zip through twrp in order to upgrade the rom but i always get an "installation error"...

Any help?

Thx
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
dunno why but doesn't matter. just wipe manually : system & both cache partitions. if still no success re-download and/or check MD5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
i think i found the cause why you faced boot-loop.

i think you flashed "Franco Kernel 78" before flashing Su 2.52 ( i just did this test and got boot-loop twice )

most probably "Franco kernel" doesn't support System Root ( bcz it's not using system-mode even in latest 2.6x, it always chose system-less ) reason for this should be, dev of Franco kernel may be deiced to remove required patches for system root method. ( i concluded this from Franco kernel's OP, where dev wrote that use system-less Su & Re-flash it after updating Franco kernel )

so if you want to use Franco Kernel you have to stay on system-less root method ( v2.61+)

Edit : to recover from boot loop just, ( you don't need to flash entire system again )

* flash boot.img from stock rom/ flash Franco kernel again and use v2.66 instead of 2.52.

or

* flash boot.img from cataclysm zip & flash v2.52 if you prefer system-mode root (you can flash other kernel after this except Franco)

[MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] if you can conform this & add it to your guide it'll be helpful for others.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] capt_f0r3st:
Franco r78, supports system root. But you must use supresu 2.60 and higher.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] giaomnitel1:
Probably an already asked question: is there the possibility to disable fSync with the Cataclysm kernel? If yes, how?

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jineshpatel30:
really? i think system mode was reintroduced from version 2.64+ only so in 2.60-2.62-3 it always installs as system-less.

i used 2.65 & 2.66 ( which are system-mode capable ) and it always auto choose to install as system-less instead of system-mode.

(with other kernel like ElementalX it choose system-mode )
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
That is why I mentioned to flash SuperSU last. I used to have a note about Franco Kernel but it got too confusing since that is the only kernel I know of that requires systemless root. I may recommend reading the kernel thread for installation instructions in the future, I will have to see how much of a problem it becomes.

No, it only supports systemless root (see the changelog)

If I'm stock (MMB29K) and cat mod 21/12, can't I just flash the new Google factory file (system from MMB29S) via fastboot and then flash new mod over that?

Yes, or flash the January 5th stable version in TWRP. The two are equivalent.

No problem. :)

i'm just glad that my observations weren't wrong

thanks for conforming :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Gialloblu:
But it's so strange to flash the stable over the stock/mod no? If you want clean flash you had to wipe system I always thought.. I liked the combination of stock and mod, now it's something different again

I read that but my way isn't mentioned right...

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 5 met Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
The stable version is the stock Android system.img with the Mod baked in so it is the same thing as fastboot flash system system.img + flashing Mod in TWRP. atl4ntis made it that way so people didn't have to fuss with fastboot. The way you described is perfectly fine though; if it works for you, do it.

no it is not different, start reading man, you can always choose between the two methods. shoot ahead the way you like it, if someone says it's easier that does not mean that your favorite method does not work, why should it ? there is the mod and there is the factory image with system.img go and use them.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Gialloblu:
I see! Because you could choose in the past between full rom or mod I thought this would be going back to full rom instead if the combo..

This is caused by the smart timeout option gaining exclusive access to the camera which includes the flash so the system locks out the flashlight. This isn't a bug it just is the way the phone is handling the camera.

nevermind ..

first, Sorry for OT:

i have read your intial review abt N5X but now its been a while and with Cataclysm in it and may be custom kernel...do you see any changes. does the phone still lags like u said and how abt battery. I would like to know your second opinion after using these many days and with Cataclysm on it (hopefully with custom kernel).

as you know I have maintained N4 Cataclysm till now....and looking to upgrade. but i am fighting between N5 and N5X (obviously due to budget reasons).

your input is highly appreciated.

Regards.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Vsavaglio:
Not sure if you've figured it out, but the same thing happened to me a week or two ago, I even did a clean install and switched ROMs, but it still happened. I was able to track it down to one of my apps, Spending Tracker, the newest version has an option that allows the app to receive special location based ads and offers. I guess some stores have bluetooth enabled that can beam specific ads to your phone. Unfortunately it keeps bluetooth waking the device so it never stops looking for ads. Try looking at some of the apps you recently installed or updated to see if they have an option to receive location based ads, offers, or things like that. I know Gas Buddy is another app that has that option that causes the wakelock. Good luck, hope this helps!

Concerning the installation of ElementalX kernel after installing Cataclysm:

Do I have the latest ramdisk after flashing full Jan_05 stable Cataclysm?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
You should since the January 5th stable is based on the latest factory image.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] yukkio:
Hi, I flashed (wiped data) the latest fully ROM and I get a bootloop (only the ROM and ROM+latest supersu too). Anyone with this problem?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
you can do the following:

a) go to settings > apps (all apps) > gear icon in top right corner > app permissions _ check whether there are apps with out of context permissions ( especially location )

b) go to settings > cataclysm settings > app opps _ same like "a)"

c) go to settings > developer options > running services _ check if you see something unusual _ you can click on each app for details _ also helps to find apps to greenify

Thinking of trying another kernel than Hells. Can I flash the boot.img then the newest?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
I did this in the console (triple checked my syntax), but beta 2.66 still appeared to install as system based on the log that was scrolling by (it said it mounted system and all that)... thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] OB-bob:
I did not install Franco, was on stock kernel.

Couldn't figure out how to get out of bootloop, so i reflashed the latest stock factory image. Afterwards Cat. Mod (5th Jan), ElementalX 6.07 and via a toolkit systemless root v2.66. In this particular order. Now it works fine :D:D

Thanks for the help though!

Btw, could i just have flash the boot.img from Cat. Rom/Cat. Mod to revert my first attempt zu root my phone (v2.52) and get out of bootloop?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
Check SuperSU > Settings > Install SuperSU into /system and why it is greyed out. If it says it is already installed in /system, follow this process.

1. Delete /data/.supersu

2. Uninstall SuperSU in SuperSU > Settings > Full unroot

3. Boot into recovery and go into Advanced > Terminal Command > Select current folder in righthand corner and type these two lines, one by one:

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

The first line is to force systemless root. The second is to prevent /su/xbin_bind from existing, if you want Android Pay to work

4. Flash SuperSU 2.66

5. Reboot and profit.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] yukkio:
Corrupted data, flash stock images with -w option ...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Odd...it's grayed out saying it's not available when using systemless root.

Can I merely delete /su/xbin_bind at this point? I would like to get AP up and running.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, delete /su/xbin_bind if it exists.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Battery last longer yep, but occasionally lag is still here.

I don't play games but noticed as soon as it gets a little warmer it start throttling way too much so the performances drop.

I wouldn't recommend a N5X as a keeper, meant to last years, or the N5 which won't be officially supported next year.

Also i'm confident next Nexus will be way better, let alone for the new cpu.

You could either stick with N4 till next Nexus or you could consider buying a N5X and reselling next year, then buying the new Nexus and sticking with it for few years.

Nexus still sells good after one year so you'd probably spend less then 100$ for the "rent".

I think selling the N5 would be harder. Ofc all the above considerations depends on countries and budget.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mikebeatrice:
Thank you for your help. I'll try out android pay tomorrow and see what happens.

Is there anything else I can do to verify things are "cleaned up" and purely systemless?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ranasrule:
Nothing but force-closes and crashes for me on the latest stable build.The last beta was working perfectly :(

All I did was dirty flashed the full zip then ElementalX kernel and after that SuperSu 2.64....am I missing anything ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gverma1:
The order of flashing should be SuperSU first and then custom kernel (ElementalX).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jshames:
His flashing order was correct. It probably had to do with the systemless/system root issue of SuperSu 2.64.

Please see this post:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] ranasrule:
So what can I do to get around this issue ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
Actually, flar2 himself said SuperSU should be flashed before EX. It really shouldn't make a difference but it sometimes does. To be honest, I need to just rewrite those sections and tell people to look at their respective kernels thread for when to flash SuperSU in that process. With EX, it is before. With Franco, it is after. Rooting is just a bit of a cluster right now and trying to be generic about it can cause more issues than not.

EDIT: Just edited the guide; flashing SuperSU and the kernel are in one step and it is up to the kernel developer to let you know which one to flash first.

Try flashing Cataclysm, then SuperSU, then EX.

Mod Edit
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nathanchance:
1. I would check out the Xposed forum, specifically the pinned posts, as that is the place for Xposed talk, not here. I have seen people using it in here without issues, even though I will not use it myself. Be sure to read everything, as not everyone will be so gracious with helping you if you haven't done some reading first.

2. It should have worked just to flash the latest stable zip instead of the Mod but as long as you got it working, good for you.

3. When Tapatalk or whatever app you are using tells you there was an error in posting, it would be a good idea to see if it actually posted or not instead of trying to post again, as it usually does post and you get many posts in a row.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] rihz:
Hello. I am wondering if anyone has a fix for this.

I am running the latest Cataclysm ROM and elementalX kernel. I just switched from CM13 so it might not be ROMs fault.

When I am playing music... Ocassionaly the music tends to stop. Not sure what interrupts it.. Maybe the volume button controls for switching songs, or some kind of notificafion... But I havent noticed that yet. But in player it shows music is still running, just without an actual output to headphones. (Also forgot to mention this problem is noticed only with headphones in). And the only way to fix it is by rebooting the phone.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I don not have a single issue with the newest full build, SuperSU 2.66, latest blu_spark kernel and latest xposed framework (flashed in this order with a reboot into recovery after every flash and a full start and reboot before xposed flash).

Even restoring all my apps and data with a flashable zip created in Titanium Backup works flawlessly.

I have installed the latest january stable build, ex kernel 6.07 and supersu 2.66 but as I see it in supersu the /system is grayed out, there is no /su in the root folder and busybox is installed in /system/xbin! So I am not systemless again!

I tried changing the installation start first with january build, then supersu then ex kernel, but same thing happens!

Anyone who can help me go back to the right way of being systemless.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] matt4321:
Weird, you should be systemless. Does root work?

In terminal emulator run:

su

then:

$PATH

The output should look like:

u0_a95@hammerhead:/ $ su
root@hammerhead:/ # $PATH
sush: /su/bin:/vendor/bin:/system/bin:/su/xbin:/system/xbin: not found
127|root@hammerhead:/ #

If root is working and SuperSU says install to /system is greyed out I would guess you are. You 100% sure there is no /su, it's be in the root, same as /system /data /etc

[Nexus 5 Android Development] magnamentis:
that was a coincidence, never jump to false conclusions and spread them adding to confusion. flashing the mod over full zip has no impact except if you would flash full+custom kernel it would revert you to stock kernel because the mod contains the kernel.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] cajunzman:
Cataclysm is the most stable nexus rom. Battery life is dependent on your kernel options and your usage but I've tried dirty unicorns and omnipop and the one thing that sets cataclysm apart is the fact it's stock. Not some patched together version of aosp and cm just cause someone doesn't want to do all the work of implementing the options into the rom so the use code from cm and wind up breaking things down the line. I'm not knocking any of the wonderful developers around here I'm just saying people should take notes on how to handle their rom and their users from [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] and if there's ever a bug he gets right on it and actually reply to your post. Specifically regarding your question of battery life again all dependent on usage but I'd say it's safe to say in an area of spotty LTE coverage where you're phone is constantly looking for a better signal in standby with social media email MightyText and Google photos backup running you can expect to get through an 8 hour work day with no heavy browsing or gaming and still have enough battery to use GPS to navigate 30 minutes back home. My setup uses ex kernel oced to 23--mhz and undervolted to 750 with the rest default options with the exception of sweep to sleep.
