So, to be

sure

:

1) If we are running another custom kernel, to update to the 10/20 beta safely, do we need a) to re-flash the 10/17 full ROM, b) then flash the 10/20 update, c) then flash our custom kernel?

2) OR, is there no kernel in the 10/20 update, so we're fine to a) leave the custom stuff there and/or b) re-flash it after the 10/20 dirty flash update?

Just trying to understand if the 10/20 update includes the kernel and/or will cause issues if I'm not doing "1" above.

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Othoric:
I'm running a custom kernel and just flashed the update. No need to refresh the kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
No, as explained in the original post (the readme section).

This is essentially a stock rom with 9 (I think) modified apps. The full rom includes *everything* the delta updates only replace those 9 modified apps. No boot images, etc etc. It literally just copies those apps to /system.

With the delta update you don't lose anything, at all.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] IMGetwired:
Great - thanks guys. Just wanted to be sure, with as much time invested here in tuning things like I have, I just wanted to confirm. Yeah, I did read all the genesis of Cataclysm and the FAQ and everything a couple days ago. Interesting stuff, and pretty informative.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jarredduq:
Timely works great
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Ok guys, i understand there are people that can't focus on their project and instead spend time to report this thread for missing kernel sources.

Unfortunately Shamu Cataclysm uses Google prebuilt kernel binary and it's clearly stated on OP, along with Google kernel sources.

If you only could stop being open source freaks with other's code and instead focus improving your project, adding something original, all the modding scene would be better.

Would be also nice if the staff could check the OP before sending threatening countdown pm.

I'm usually a calm person, but these things makes me nuts.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gippy2:
Can I just add... It's common practice to only report issues using stock kernel.. So if you are running a custom kernel and run into any problems either reflash the rom or stock kernel.. Then see how it goes... Just my 2 cents... Loving this rom by the way.... Donation coming soon.. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] YevOmega:
Despair Kernel has been the best for me hands down. I've tried most of them. Only one I haven't tried that comes to mind is ElX. They get updated often, so a lot of things change. It also depends on how much you're willing to change in settings should the need arise.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alex740il:
Sounds same as my problem that I posted earlier. To fix, I just moved volume slider in settings > sounds and notification down and back up. Has not happened since.. If this happens again for you, please try that before rebooting and flashing different kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
are you using a custom kernel? I've seen a commit that fixes a mismatch between volume and poweramp gain being 0 and nonzero resulting in no volume.

It's possible that something similar may be happening, and that changing the volumes resets this.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alex740il:
Forgot to mention, also on hellsCore. Where did you see this commit?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
I'm going to have to dig around a bit... might not be until tomorrow though. It's late, and I've been drinking ;)

Maybe neobuddy's sources? Something picked from CAF I think....

*shameless plug* I'm part of "Team Vortex". Not much original stuff going on with us. Our goal is to just compile lots of features into one kernel. I guess it could be called 'Kanging' except we don't claim it as our own.

Anyway, I browsed by it... and was thinking "Why would anyone care?"... Apparently it may have a use-case.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
They're just jealous because your Rom is so good.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] czaplin:
Hi,

After trying Chroma and Pure Nexus I need to say that this rom is hands down. Number of features is overhelming haha. Great job! My daily runner now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
The best part of it (IMO) is that since it's stocked based... things like the LED work without user modification. This also means that any other required stock libraries are included by default.

I think the best part of how atl4ntis ,does it is that he doesn't make us download hundreds of megs for each update... and only includes the relevant files.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dave2metz:
I am using 3minit battery. What does SoftKeyZ have to do with it? Is that where the batteries come from?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NiNJAwitaRaZR:
The updates include systemui.. Which will overwrite any 3minit mods and softkeyZ mods
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Shilalygawd:
Its a separate app. He's stating that you'll have to reflash or configure both.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NiNJAwitaRaZR:
The updates revert systemui to default, 3monit and softkeyZ modify systemui so.., ud have to reflash/configure both apps after update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tdgillihan:
Not necessary to extract the boot image if you already have a nandroid of your ROM (which you should). Just restore the boot image only from your backup in recovery.

Always thank those that are helpful....and just ignore those that are not.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
The problem is.., has to update after each patch
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dave2metz:
Right. I just misunderstood you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill_viper:
Waiting for the full 20th October .zip to be uploaded (coming from another rom). We have to flash GApps too or they're built in the rom?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
You can flash, the full 17 zip and update to 20.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gammaxgoblin:
Wouldn't it be super awesome if there were some sort of introductory communication where some of this information could potentially be contained therein?! ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill_viper:
Thanks for the fast reply. What about GApps? Do we have to flash them too or are built in to the rom?

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Yup, read the FAQ in 2nd post but it isn't clear about GApps.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
Seriously? What more do you want? This is the second question in the FAQ's.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill_viper:
Lol, thanks, I've read the "How to install" section, my eye went there at 1st second and didn't saw the other. :o

[Nexus 6 Android Development] adl:
Wanted to follow your advice but can´t figure out, how to back up boot.img using flashify. On the backup/restore tab i can back up the current kernel, but i get a error message when i try to do that (even superuser rights have been granted). Also not sure if backing up current kernel is the same as what you described with backing up boot.img.

Thanks in advance for your help! :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill_viper:
Try backing it up with Kernel Adiutor, it's very simple.

So, the 'correct' method to flash numerous kernels and test them is first to make a backup of the current boot.img, flash new kernel, restore stock boot.img, and then flash again another kernel?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DroidDredd:
Holy Cow ....I have an idea - We could name it the OP :angel:

[Nexus 6 Android Development] jjasco:
Calling didn’t work correctly. Phone calls normally, but speaker and mic didn’t work, no sound or nothing.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] micmars:
I've encountered a few minor sound issues, once when switching Bluetooth on then off, and I forget what confluence of events yielded the other few times it happened...a simple reboot always cleared it right up, and I've not since run into it. None of it was repeatable, so I was unable to pull a log..

I think you'll find that these dissipate after a day or two of the rom settling in.

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------

To split hairs, it's actually in the first post...

As to all such questions, I think that many users would be well served to look at the contents of any zip prior to flashing...when looking at the full Cataclysm zip, one sees the entire file structure, including the included Gapps...the below is what one sees when tapping on the zip using Root Explorer...

But that takes time.. Its far quicker to ask and let somebody else spend their valuable time explaining solutions... It's the xda disease.... [emoji22]

Oh lord here come the rude assses that can't answer a question nicely lol im not a noob but its nice when a question is asked for it too be answered nicely even if it had been answered. Just direct to the right answer. Not many have time to scroll through post #10000000 for 5hrs looking for an answer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] golfgtiedition30:
Exactly.

If you don't like someone's post/question then just don't reply and move on. No need to be rude.

This is turning into a good thread , let's not ruin it :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
the first rule of being a good xda citizen is to use the search function that is located prominently in every thread first, before asking any question.

its a sorry state of affairs that many folks just dont get that, or, even bother to read the rules here when first joining..Oh, and another rule is that questions go in the Questions and Answers threads, not in development threads, unless the dev specifically states that they are allowed in the dev thread..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
yes, i admitted already that it's probably not in this case. this is what i wrote in my last post QUOTED yours seems to be a different issue and i have no clue then unfortunately END QUOTE so we're in agreement here as it seems while your observations as to the possible cause sound very interesting, could well be the right direction of thinking, albeit it remains guesswork until more was found out. did you think about posting a log for those who could perhaps read that log and understand such details?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
Let's not forget about Rule #10

No need to get all caught up in the Q's go in the Q&A thread. [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] doesn't run his thread like that. If we (mods) got all high and mighty about Q's in a Dev thread, then every thread in this section would be locked and only opened for Updates.

Common sense prevails here people. If it can be answered in a post or 3, then do it. Beyond that, it should go into either a thread of its own or an existing one. No need for multiple keyboard warriors to consistently bash people for asking a simple question that could be answered with a simple answer.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wase4711:
Thats why there is a search box in every thread, so you dont have to look through "a billion" posts to find something..

I'll take your suggestion and say good bye to this thread..
[Nexus 6 Android Development] eep2378:
It wasn't meant at anyone directly. Just a general statement on how people sometimes don't bother reading or searching. It's actually one of the reasons people don't read or search because threads get bogged down with repetitive questions they could have found a page or two back. This isn't my high horse just pointing out the obvious.

Edit: Now back to our regularly scheduled Cataclysm programming...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PatimusXPrime:
Planning on flashing this very shortly. I have had abysmal battery life on 3 ROMs so far so this is kind of my last effort before I go nuts in figuring out what app or setting is doing it. I would assume everyone is happy with this ROM but what are some battery life averages? :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bill_viper:
Thanks for the confirmation. :)

So, I took the following steps:

1) Backed up stock kernel boot.img with Kernel Adiutor

2) Went to Recovery, wiped both caches, installed Elite kernel .zip, wiped both caches, booted

Now I want to go back to stock kernel. Is it ok to simply restore it through Kernel Adiutor? Or I should go again to recovery after restore and wipe caches?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gippy2:
I don't use kernel auditor...and I use flashify.... So I haven't a clue... Sorry...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jarredduq:
I used kernel auditor to restore mine and it worked fine. I was having random reboots with elementalX 3.05 and had to go back to stock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] blankit:
Worked perfect up until I flashed this rom

[Nexus 6 Android Development] droidxxxxx:
Updated to 10/20 via flashify/twrp and all seems well. Very smooth.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] atl4ntis:
Hey guys, can some of you actually confirm that you bought something successfully with Android Pay and unrooted Cataclysm M? Cause if it works i think is something worth noting on OP.

Thanks.

P. S. I think Cat must be unrooted before adding the cards and never rooted again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] PatimusXPrime:
Pretty solid. Just got done flashing and am setting everything up. I like the features so far, simple but effective. Great work! :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alex740il:
Seems similar to what myself and another member here posted about. Have you flashed a custom kernel or using the one that came with the ROM? Is music working? Only phone ring and notifications broken?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] xxxtncxxx:
As of now this is the most feature filled MM Rom for N6. Just updated to 10/20 so will see how it runs, although probably switching kernels, but as of now GREAT WORK!!!! Only thing i can think of i would like is to edit the nav bar, I am one of those people who like the back button on the right, btw cursor control on the nav bar is great so much more effective than the vol rocker.

I'm not much of a kiss ass, actually I find that type of behavior annoying in these forums. I just got to say I'm impressed with what I've lucked into with this Rom and the Dev associated with it. The ROM is lol... Not a beta as advertised I've used many ROMs that were final releases that has more bugs in it than a week old piece of hamburger. This ROM is smooth and clean. Any problems are fixed quicker than anything I've ever used. Thank you for your hard work. I know many people that really appreciate it. The Rom is fantastic.

after updating oct 20 release over beta 1 now my apps seems to freeze at times. didnt have this issue before the oct 20 update. tried clearing the but same issue.

anyone else with this problem?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jlokos:
Nope; II didn't have that issue. II think some folks reported that issue. Did you flash just the update or the full 10/20 ROM?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Atl4ntis even said once he irons out these first starting bugs, then we will really start the add the features! Cant wait!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] s2kpdx:
I had this issue too, and my phone was rebooting on its own. Restored to my 10/17 backup though and have had zero glitches like that since. (running both the 10/20 & 10/17 build with Elemental X)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] FCORivers:
Excellent rom, this early with so many features, had to read it twice to believe.

Now, I tried to change qs tiles but you cannot change the first two tiles as doing so screw the way they're displayed. Also using the dim on navbar makes the icons disappear, basically. They become invisible.

I installed this today but seems to be a solid rom.

Thanks for the hard work devs.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
QS tile feature is baked into Marshmallow from the start. I tried switching them on stock Android and it wouldn't let me... Secondly, that's the point of the fades, to dim them off lol. Maybe in feature releases he could add customizations to them. But no bugs on his part here.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Shilalygawd:
I had the same problem as well as random freezes and reboots. Did a clean install of 10/17 and then flashed the 10/20 update over it. Smooth as a baby's bottom again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] amritanshu001:
Yesterday, after i flashed 20Oct beta zip. I was facing random shutdown as well. I tried different kernels, wiping caches...but they did not work. I then dirty flashed 13oct full version, rebooted...and then flashed 20th Oct beta directly. I have had no more random shutdowns :thumbup:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Shilalygawd:
Yeah, I think it was just something about going from the original beta to the 10/20 delta lol. After finding out it wasn't just me, it would make sense.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Vortex1969:
Flashed 10/17 the day it was posted and now on 10/20 update with no reboots problems ect. Running stock kernel for testing as I do and have done with all my personal builds.

Cat has been very stable for me. Just remember before posting problems use just ROM and Stock kernel. Any extras could be your problem.

Latest update running great so far for me with stock kernel.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] flavinator:
High pitched beep followed by reboot

I just encountered my first issue with this ROM (or custom kernel, not sure). I have 10/20 updated installed. I was just recently on a speaker phone call when I suddenly heard a high pitched beep for a second or so, then the phone rebooted (at 22%). I'm not sure if all these symptoms are linked or not. I also have ElementalX kernel installed and I am undervolted. I have a feeling this is the issues, but I don't know. I tested the voltage with Antu Tu's stability test it passed, soi don't know what to think.

Edit: I did experience this on stock kernel shortly after first flash, but that's about it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] amritanshu001:
I agree with you. However, i was running Cata 17thOct (beta upgrade from 13thOct) flawlessly with Elite Kernel. I started having problems when i flashed beta over beta. However, i am not complaining. The problem might be from my end (maybe MultiRom), and finally i solved it without loosing any settings or data, and am also on the latest build. I will wait for the new beta, and check if flashing beta over beta causes any sort of issues again. Although, i believe many would have done this, and not a lot have reported any issues.

Oh and by the way.......amazing dev on this ROM. Stable snappy and full of features. Nav bar fade was amazing!!

I agree. I ran this ROM on my N5 and was absolutely astounded by how well it worked. When I got the N6 I left it on my N5 when I sold it as it was flawless.

I haven't posted in more than a year (as I prefer to lurk, search, and read up first) but had to when I saw this today. Cataclysm is a fantastic ROM and I look forward to having it bless my OG N6.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Vortex1969:
It could be MultiRom but I don't point fingers. I just back up Cata to test my personal builds. Been doing this for a while and I can tell you I've seen recovery's, mods and kernel's introduce problems.

This has been a great DD for me. AOSP has some work to be done before it's even close to being this stable.

For anyone that has never built trust me even when proprietary code that is missing form AOSP is rewritten to work. There still not the same as the stock proprietary code.

Basically for (ALL) MM is in it's early stage's and to help this great Dev if a problem would arise is to run as released and flash as instructed. Then post a log to help. [emoji4]

Good luck and enjoy...[emoji4]
