A tale of caution

I would like to share my experience today. I have come through this experience a stronger man. I was not defeated.

Today on my way to the tube station I saw a toast message saying that elementalx was denied root from SU. "No Biggie" I though and I continued on my journey. Unbeknownst to me, a series of unfortunate events would lead me to the most infuriating error and an android journey that rivals the Hobbit.

Basically if the device get's stuck on the setupwizard trying to connect to the internet, the problem is with the play services framework. I learnt this the hard way today. The set up wizard is just looping through "hello play services framework are you there?" > "no i'm not" > "hello play services framework are you there?" > "no i'm not" > etc.

In order to get out of the never ending "checking connection; this may take a while" message during the set up wizard you have to adb onto your device and install the latest play services framework. Then restart your device and it should snap the F*** out of it.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheContinental:
Thank you so much for sharing your work with all of us. This ROM is absolutely the finest I've used, out of dozens over the years. A couple of beers coming your way (0RC56202FU736581X).

I realize that it's useful to devs for us to report any issues. It makes devs sharper and improves the product. But today I have nothing. No issues. Cataclysm 5.1 delivers 100% perfect operation on my Nexus 5. No FCs. Great battery life. No wakelocks.

The best stuff I've learned for smooth operation with any ROM:

1. Stop installing so many apps. Apps cause conflicts. Apps ping GPS and data, using battery life. My advice is to do a good app pruning once in a while...like before each new ROM flash.

2. Always read the Original Post and the latest five pages of any thread.

3. Search the thread, XDA, and/or Google before posting.

Looking forward to the next update. Happy flashing, brothers and sisters!

It's nothing against rro, it's all the people that don't know how to use it and will clog up the thread about how this doesn't work, this doesn't theme, this looks weird, where to download themes, how to install them....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] alen1901:
This is a talk from person who didnt even tried to make RRO theme i suppose. Also your post is offending for many themers and people who learned to change colors in android in thanks of RRO stuff. Sure, they maybe changed few colors and added bunch of different style pngs but maybe this is their first work on android. Also i would suggest you to visit BoostPop rom thread and see a discussion about RRO in last few pages. I also used one ROM which had RRO, and i made myself a theme/layer, and guess what, not a single problem. Sure, unexperienced users, some bugged layers and their unusual use/combination can lead to some problems, its something to expect, but this is a community, we are here to learn and help. And i really dont know why is RRO such a bad topic in this thread, making something out of nothing really. I as a themer can welcome RRO because i can finally change and fix stuff that google didnt, and enjoy my lollipop.

Yeah I see your point. It will definitely bring some issues to this thread, but XDA is meant to help and share with others. We just need to help these people while trying not to get upset, explain to them where the proper place to be for help. Maybe on the main post bold link some help sections. I have been working on some of my own themes with RRO/Layers and will come back to cata when it becomes available and I'll try to help with troubled users.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] setiawanjimmy:
You have everything for free; rom, rro layers and themes, and you all complained? You dont like it? Dont use it. You dont like this rom support rro? Make your own rom or change rom. You dont like the themes? Make your own or stay with the stock theme. You are worried about the noob reports coming in? Dont read it. It is as simple as that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tswltd:
It's not really a bug. Try double tapping on the quick pull down location. Quick toggles are shown in all their glory. It's a short cut.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PetritH:
Wow, this is so retarded, until today everyone wanted rro and now people complaining about it? we are lucky that Atl4ntis shares this beautiful rom with us.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mythenmetz:
I think noone is afraid of rro or want to say themers are bad guys or whatever. Some people are afraid of all the users and the useless "bug" reports. The last pages are full of false bug reports and pseudo solutions. If the users don't understand what are rom bugs and what are errors on the user side (or Google bugs), I think it's a reasonable fear that this thread will be spammed again when they install buggy/incompatible themes.

But whatever, let's hope the best and try all the themes. I'm happy about rro...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maujavier91:
Maybe the best way to avoid the problem with the Q&A is actually focus on development here and ignore everything else, people put questions here because others keep answering making unnecessary going to the Q&A thread, so maybe if all would stop complaining and focus on development here and ask politely to anyone asking questions to go to the appropriate thread we could have more order in this forum as for the ones who don't like rro, you don't really have to use it I prefer to have it and not use it than not having it at all, knowing [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] it won't impact you in any way if you don't use it, and for the ones who do use it if you can't read the fine print than you probably deserve to have troubles with your phone

You dont need to do anything with Google play services if you are on the lastest stable build.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AstroBoy89:
I know that and the google services that came with the latest stable build was 6.x With 6.x I had great battery life and 1.2 gb of ram available to me. As soon as I rebooted my phone though, I updated itself to 7.x which has been nothing but trouble for many users. Google pushed out a new version of 7.x a few days ago, but that hasn't helped my battery life or ram usage at all. I just want to prevent google play services from updating itself. I have tried app opps under cataclysm settings and the disable services app, but it doesn't seem to be able to prevent it from updating itself. I would like to know if there is a method using either the terminal or altering system files that I can use to prevent to forced update of google play services. This rom is awesome, but google play services is nothing but a pain that I would like to take control of. I have tried converting google play services into a user app, but it results in constant force closes of everything google and is thus not an option.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nexttjme:
We can't do anything. The memory leak issue has been fixed and we have to wait the release factory image. About the battery life, i'm on Google play services 7.0.99 and everything is OK. There are many reason to make your battery drains faster so you need find out.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CarlosAbia:
I just clean flashed latest stable, and I keep getting FC when trying to go into Language & Input. Anyone else?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] goabunny:
Anyone having issues with call waiting with latest update? If I am on a call 1 and receive call 2, I switch to call 2 and that puts the call 1 on hold automatically. Once I am done with call 2, when disconnect it, call 1 also getting disconnected.

I am pretty sure it was working fine few weeks back.

Not sure if this is ROM related or kernel. I am on latest code blue.

Just wondering if anyone with this combination saw this behavior.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bobby janow:
Be careful when you disconnect. Only disconnect current call, don't hang up. Then both are gone. Try that but I might be wrong.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] hoffdamann:
Did you dirty flash?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] notbrodie:
As it's a full release, you're better of clean flashing. With the built-in settings backup and titanium, it took less than 5 minutes to get everything set up properly
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hoffdamann:
Thanks for the advice! stoked to try it out! ;)

Flashing on those two 5.1 and 2.11 aroma with default settings. Still on the old trustworthy Recovery twrp 2.8.1.0..

All worked as plan.. no chrome, wakelocks, memory or battery issue.. been running over 6 days none-stop now..

Really a great update and took me like 15mins overall..

Thanks atl4ntis & flar2.. Both of you made my days..!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] chr0:
+1 to app pruning before every flash. I do that and it keeps my phone healthy. However, I am not so sure about the advice to not install many apps. As the dev has himself said, he would never include anything in the ROM that you can get from a simple app off the Play Store. So, for those features, you have to rely on apps and the only way you can zero in to an app is by trying 10 of the kind. For example, screen recording. I must have gone through atleast a dozen, before I settled on AZ Screen Recorder. This is where app pruning helps, but for any feature you want in your phone without giving up the stability of this ROM, you're going to have to keep a few more apps in your phone than you would with other ROMs that prioritize features over cleanliness.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] HiM@L:
how do u do app pruning? what you mean by that?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JohnSpawnVFX:
Uninstall any apps that you rarely use or not use at all
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chr0:
Pruning simply means removing unwanted apps/services from a system. Like you can use the Aroma installer to uncheck the features you won't be needing while installing Cataclysm.

I just use Titanium Backup. Batch actions>Delete backups>filter: uninstalled apps>run. Or, just to be quicker, I delete all backups and then run a new backup for all my user-installed apps.

Then, after I install a new ROM, I go through the ROM settings and see what features are baked into it, then delete the app+data for the apps I was using to get the now baked-in features so that they do not conflict with the ROM. (I also destroy the market links to the apps so that they do not show up in my installed apps on the play store)

Just flashed this last night, was getting tired of stock 5.0, I figured I'd give this a try. So far so good, however I went to bed last night with 71% battery but woke up to 44%.

I'm pretty bad at remembering to check XDA... Is there a Cataclysm development Twitter or something I can follow?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheContinental:
You are so correct: There are several essential apps you'll want to install after flashing such a minimal ROM. What I meant when I said "stop installing so many apps" was that several users have never met an app they don't like. It's not just one screen recorder like the excellent AZ Screen Recorder...it's three screen recorder apps. Plus a couple of task killers, a few RAM cleaners, some file browsers, and a couple dozen downloaded widget apps that constantly ping the weather and time. It's not difficult on most phones to find some application redundancy to reduce.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] enryfantasy:
Play store is sometime slow in releasing updates.

I often download them from apkmirror as soon as they come out and then install them as a normal apk.

Everything was OK with play services, for instance. But not with other apps like YouTube, slides,...

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

When I try to manually install the apk it says, after a while: app not installed. And I can only click 'end' to quit installation.

Don't take this seriously :D Just can't wait!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jsgraphicart:
apkmirror also posts apks that have x86 in the file name. If you used those, that might be your issue. I don't think those are for the Nexus 5

You need to uninstall the old version of the app, then reboot. Once you reboot, you can install the new version. Happens to me all the time when testing apps, especially le Goog's.

The reboot is key here because up until that point, your OS thinks that it is still installed and is calling for its intents and services that aren't there anymore.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] bobby janow:
That last version of Play services that worked flawlessly is 2/21 (maybe 2/22) like version 6.x. After that it did not work reliably. There have been various work arounds like picking a house nearby or a location point a few feet from "home" but that's sketchy too. I've seen it work and not work. Nonetheless, it's not the right way, imo. Device unlock works fine, on body unlock works pretty well, but trusted places does not. One of these days they will figure out what they did on 6.x and incorporate it into 7.x and it will work again. I don't suggest downgrading only because I've been told that might not be great for some reason. Who knows. I think that 6.x does not have on body but if trusted places works 100% then it might not be needed depending on your situation. If you downgrade and all is well let us know. I might join you.
