this is about it, seconding every letter, hence my earlier posted idea that we should try to make a 100% stock recovery flashable zip for each version so that it could be added to the OP. best would be someone who has some experience with the process which i don't but then if really needed i'm considering to learn that too :) for now i just watch what will happen, first let's see how it goes for N5, N5x and N6p, i'm somehow confident that things will develop into this direction. as you said, while fasbooting that img is nothing, the deploating process which is mandatory if one wants to add some other stuff like xposed and themes, is a bit a P.I.A due to all the residues, spread over multitude of directories in the system partition.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Im messing around with creating a flashable stock zip right now. It probably wont work though lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jlokos:
The stock-lite referenced is http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-5-1lightromstock-lmy47e-03-19-2015-t3059493 . I backed up my current cataclysm build., did a clean wipe, flashed referenced stock-lite, cataclysm mod and benzoCore M5 kernel. Then I restored only data from my cataclysm backup and rebooted. No need to debloat; my apps from the backup were all present and everything is working great. Thanks to atl4ntis for this great update method.

I finally installed Google's stock image and managed to keep my data (no idea how I did that).I just wanted to thank you to everyone for their help and being patient. I refused to use a toolkit and tried to do everything myself. After watching endless youtibe videos this one was the best and helped heaps -apart from installing all the SDK tools which takes ages-

So if anyone inexperienced out there like me fiddling with commands, where to put files, how to install sdk tools etc follow exactly what this guy does in the video and you'll be all good to go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hao_Yf-gaw

Someone called me lazy, arrogant somewhere few posts above so this one goes to him: there you go mate if I was a lazy arrogant I wouldn't bother sharing this.

Hope that helps and I'd like to say sorry to [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] for nagging, I love your work, I'll shortly make a small donation so you can have a beer on me.

cheers

EDIT: now my next move; how the hell do I flash the mod and install super user :))
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
thing is that whatever i found is for windows and yes i even have windows running on my macbook pro but then i had problems with drivers in the past and decided to no taking it any further. the only tool "android kitchen" which was for mac, linux and windows has been abandoned.

however i'm sure it's not that difficult, there is such a thing for most stock roms and many kernel devs make stock kernel flashable zips which

as far as i can see is the identical process, just using boot.img instead of system.img. keep us posted as to success and failures, so that we can pull the same strings where possible.

no more thanks left and all devices are on battery idle drain test mode for the night now, just sayin' because usually i care to click that button :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
Good job I knew you could get it to work. For TWRP download the latest TWRP image from their site and flash it in fastboot just like the you did with the recovery section in the tutorial you used. for SuperSu download the latest 2.5.2 beta flashable zip and flash it in your new recovery.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
I'm just watching another video about it so I'll see if I can pull that one up :) when I flashed the google's image my data was still there I didn't wipe clean. will the mod still work?

cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I've got a flashable mra58r booted at working with cataclysm mod. Its made with files pulled directly from the stock google image. I'm having a few issues still though.

1. I cannot get it to boot with stock kernel bit need to do some more testing. Flashing elementalx got it booted right up.

2. Does anyone have a nexus 6 marshmallow compatible META-INF folder i could use. Currently pulled one from danvh's rom and its working but would like one that's not from another rom.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I think that error is no big deal. It comes from having a rooted stock rom. If you flash a custom kernel it will go away. If not it's not hurting anything

Great job, and now since you took the time to learn the correct way, you're golden from here on out (for the most part). Welcome to the fun we call Android and XDA. :D

OMG thanks so much for figuring that out. It was driving me nuts. I was digging around with root explorer and never thought to look there.

Once you have the system.img installed go back into twrp, flash the mod, flash super user, restore data. Reboot and Enjoy. Glad you figured things out. Sometimes it's alot of trial and error. But in the end it's worth it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
I know, finally. it's a big relief. now I know exactly every single step and what to do if something goes wrong. I even managed to root. now I have to figure out if I need to run a custom kernel, any suggestions? People say hellscore is good but how would I know if it's permissive
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Hells Core has permissive versions as separate .zip files.. I know that ElementalX and Elite are/can be permissive.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] bitterbuffalo77:
I'm not sure if it is or not. I use elementalx which has the option to turn it off during install. There's also a permissive.zip floating around the thread to make any kernel permissive.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Cheers for that. I think I'm ging to give hellscore a go as I heard a lot of good things about it and has an option to flash as permissive

You need to download the 33mb and flash it over the stock system image.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
Just wanted to ensure that I can use a su.d script, like the permissive.zip provided by Xtrasmooth, to make the kernel permissive and boot properly with CataclysmMod?

I'd prefer to avoid using SELinuxModeChanger if possible since the last time I booted up with Franco installed it didn't recognize my sim card.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
As long as the folder structure is correct which it should be if flashing a script, and SuperSu is installed and enabled at boot, I can't think of any reason this would not work out for you. I haven't tested it personally but there's no reason I can see not to backup and test it - I do assume it will work.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] AlkaliV2:
You were correct. I grabbed the permissive.zip, Franco r34, and flashed both in recovery and it booted up without issue. This is an alternative method that people can use if they don't want to use SELinuxModeChanger on their device. It just places a file in /system/su.d that has setenforce command set to zero. There isn't necessarily an advantage to this method I just dislike erroneous apps on my device. Thanks for your help [MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION] :good:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
You can flash the below zip to make any kernel permissive.

It is from ElementalX kernel by [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION]

[Nexus 6 Android Development] deepss1:
I flashed this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3059493 + cata mod + hc b11 kernel

Seems to be working....whether I don't know is that correct method or not !!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MortenHeck:
I am desperately trying to learn this, especially adb. I am new to the adb process but I will sort this out. I am perfectly aware that this has nothing to do with the ROM, but my own incompetence. And if I have ever stated something like that or if I said something that came out in a negative way towards [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] and his amazing work, I am truly sorry.

I use XDA all the time and find that it solves all my questions, and I find most people in the forum very helpful.

Thanks for your input [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]!:good:

Edit: I finally sorted it out, I was able to flash the stock image through fastboot and I followed the instructions in the OP. Thanks for your help and input!

And thanks to the people who have put up with my incompetence!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jeffreylec:
Wow...This is amazing. Great and innovative work! Honestly changes the game completely in my opinion.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jdee323:
I was thinking about doing the same thing. I guess it's safe to try.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
that part could have to do with the fact that the kernel has to be permissive and stock kernel is SELinux enforced. that's probably all, hence if everyone follows the guide provided by [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] this should work then

---------- Post added at 12:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 AM ----------

it's nice that it was working but:

this rom is altered, hence whether it works or not is at the grace of the rom-dev, whatever he changes will make that rom non-stock anymore which is not how this is meant to be in many respects, ( unroot = google pay for example )

further i and probably most others are not interested in sitting their with tension to see whether it still works. further the kernel is not stock, hence to set everything to permissive by other means than the kernel would open doors for issues as well.

i still believe that we best had a totally stock flashable zip from the stock ( factory image's ) system.img which i'm currently working at as to whether i can make it or not while someone else already made one working. of course whoever will make it with reasonable efforts could post the link short after [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] posts his updated mods and things would be as easy as before. i mean going through aroma took it's time as well, hence the process would be a bit different but not necessarily longer or more complicated. i'm just sharing my thoughts here as to get a best possible solution for all users, best with a choice like to choose between flashing system.zip+mod+superSU etc. or fastboot system.img+mod.zip+superSU.zip etc.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

for you and anyone, i just made a recovery flashable zip of the boot.img ( because it's much smaller LOL ) and it flashed perfectly well.

upon the next update ( next google factory image release ) i shall take that path, make a revovery flashable zip, use it and if all goes well i'll share it here and in the nexus 5 thread ( the appropriate one of course ) to make things a bit easier. however for me to fastboot system.img is

definitely faster and easier but i'm still glad that i found a way. let's see :) how it will go. further if it goes well ( boot and run perfectly ) i as well will share the procedure because it was quite hassle free.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MortenHeck:
Awesome, and amazing work [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
however you approach to use the opportunity to learn a few basics like fastboot and the likes is the right approach. keep it up & you'll have the choice and choice is freedom & saves nerves LOL

EDIT: wait with congrats till i tested it and it's working as it should be. right now i just tested a boot.img. while there is no reason to believe that the system.img will behave much different i'm too old to just believe. only facts count hence time will show LOL ( just being careful )
[Nexus 6 Android Development] MortenHeck:
Excactly, I will most definately try to learn more about fastboot, when I first figured it out, it was really easy! Thanks for your input [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION], appreciate it!

Cataclysm & Xposed...

Alright guys, I know the whole point of this ROM (i have been following [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] and using his roms since GalaxyNexus, N4, N5, and finally on my N6) is to be close to stock but with AMAZING BATTERY, SPEED, and ALWAYS STABLE! [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION], imho, has always had one of the best, if not the best, ROM's out there! With that being said (hopefully i dont get flamed now :P)...

I believe i found another MRA58R base rom (not affiliated or anything) that seems to be close to stock and it is DEODEXED, for those of you who want to try it, and i believe it goes by the name of ADM (use google search to find it, i WILL NOT post link). I am testing it right now (yes its already released) so that i can make sure there arent any major issues.

So far my steps have been:

Made backups

Factory Wipe

Installed ADM and booted to homescreen

Flashed CataclysmMod Nov15 Beta and restored my settings and they work (needs more testing)

Flashed HC-11-permissive-oldwifi

Restored all apps/data/messages

Installed my Layer themes i use

Flashed ViperAudio

Flashed Xposed23-78arm

(if applies) Uninstalled XposedAlpha4.apk

Installed XposedAlpha4.apk

Profit!!! Everything works!!!

EDIT: So I flashed ViperAudio and restored all apps/data/messages using TitaniumPro/SMSBackupandRestorePro. Then I flashed Xposed23-78arm. I went into my Xposed app but it kept saying "installed but not active". I tried reflashing xposed but no luck. I then tried uninstalling the Xposed app and reinstalling it and guess what? It works now w/o a hitch! Updated my steps above!!

NOTE: This setup does keep your phone running deodexed firmware, so you may lose out on some speed/battery tweaks that you may get when running odexed, but to me its worth it. Nexus6 is already a fast phone anyways for me :) Also, this setup has 3minitbattery already setup and VERY minimal (not a whole bunch of system apps already installed)

Happy Flashing!!!

Are widgets appearing oversized to anyone else after the update? Mine are huge and I can't fix it even with resizing, the elements of the widget are blown up...

EDIT: Found out the issue... When changing screen density you must change it in texdroider dpi as well as with adb shell. Otherwise there are certain ui elements that are huge. Hope this helps someone...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] fhblake04:
Widgets are fine on Lite ROM with the Google Now Launcher.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I couldn't get it to boot with stock kernel even before flashing cataclysm mod. But cataclysm mod is flashing a kernel with it so flashing the mra58r zip I created then cataclysm before first boot works. Pm me if your interested in trying it out or just taking a look at it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
did you make a flashable zip from system.img then it won't boot without the mod because it will contain no kernel. to make it bootable it must contain the boot.img as well. dunno just thinking loud :) if it was booting with the mod then it's good, if you wan to me to test it you can send me a download link via pm. did you use justarchies andorid kitchen? i'm asking because it's not maintained by him anymore, at least that's what i understood and i basically decided not to follow that path which could become another dead end like the earlier dsixda android kitchen.

however if you are ready and already got that far i shall gladly assist with testing builds before you release them and then there will be the possibility to make an own thread with a fully bootable ( boot.img included ) recovery flashable stock rom without further mods or you could talk to antl4ntis whether he would be willing to include the download link into the OP.

in short, pm me the link and i'll test and i recommend to include the boot.img into next version, else some of the notorious non-readers will certainly fall into that trap and clog this thread with their issues. LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Locoman_:
atl4ntis, your work is pure gold. Thank you for your time and efforts.

That said, I went through the official installation steps twice last night. And both times I tried to remove the Google bloat bit for whatever reason I would end up getting stuck in a boot loop when I tried to reboot. I really dislike bloat and the only things I removed were apps that you could get from the play store. So today I tried installing the mod over stock lite and haven't had any issues so far. I'll report back if anything changes.

Again, thank you for this wonderful mod!

Edit: Sorry to have quoted the whole OP! Fixed. (thanks wrongway213 for pointing this out)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wrongway213:
Not sure you're aware or not but you quored the whole OP - I would personally probably edit my post and remove that, but I just wanted to make sure you were aware and did not do so on accident. Not trying to tell you how to post if it was your intent - just making sure you were aware.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
removing system apps is not as easy as it has been once because different parts are placed in different directories and it's not always easy to remove them without removing too much. as to apps you can remove, you approach is generally good but there are apps that share libraries andif you get stuck in a bootloop that's most probably what happened, you removed one or more too many. that was basicall mentioned and predicted earlier by myself as well as [MENTION=5964313]wrongway213[/MENTION]. only thing is see as a little issue is that while usually it was possible to just freeze those apps instead of uninstalling them, it's now mandatory to uninstall them if you need more space on the system partition to install other stuff and mods. as i mentioned before, this will all be worked out with time since all is very new and we yet have to find the best ways to deal with the new parameters.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I made it from the stock system.img and used the stock boot.img also. Did not use the kitchen. Actually let's take this to pm, no need to add more Posts to this thread. I'll pm ya in a min.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
I must admit that I was skeptical of this new ROM update method. However, once I tried it I can see what all the excitement is about.

Works great!

Flashed Extra Smooth and then the Cata-mod. Lost no settings or data. This method is much less hassle than the old way. Only problem has been some layers not playing well with some apps. But that's not a ROM problem.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nemanja066:
OK. I deleted a lot of applications in the /system that can be found on the Google Play. Some of them I installed from GPlay. Will it occur any problem(s) after fastboot flash system, as it same apps will exist in /system and in /data. Yet, I can't imagine what could have happened. Do I have to delete them (in /system) before boot (in recovery mode via built in File Manager), or may after boot. Thanks.

Just flashed a few hours ago. Testing everything now. So far no issues other than TiBu being a pain to get working. Running Hells on permissive as well as 3minit battery installed. Fixing to test out Viper too. Definitely an extremely good build to have been built blind like that. Mad props.
