I plan on updating my radio to the new .30r today and switching to f2fs (loved it on my N5), I'll let you know how it goes. You'll need an f2fs-enabled version of TWRP. There is a f2fs version of TWRP 2.8.7.0 here on the forums, I'll post a link in a bit when I'm back home for you.

Also to 4tlantis, thank you so much for adding the "swipe status bar for brightness" feature! That's been the one feature I've wanted since I started using Cataclysm on my Nexus 5. Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
xposed is no problem, don't jump to conclusions because someone has a problem that is not accounted for. further i recommend people with such issues to revert to lates nandroid and repeat the procedure, carefully following the correct way, re-flashing everything after the update in correct order like, kernel, xposed at last etc. and wipe caches and dalivik to get the best chance to succeed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
after flashing i got random reboots!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] davwman:
I have the 2.8.5 version. Will probably end up switching tonight when I'm home and have some free time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CountKrzysztof:
Right on, yeah it took me a bit of searching to find 2.8.7.0 with f2fs support on here. Best of luck to you!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gabethepiggy:
can I suggest a run at boot toggle for the App Ops?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] greeneyez15o:
Thank u, unfortunately no computer for a couple weeks to extract img. :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] B@RRY78:
I deleted some system apps and successfully installed xposed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Sorry to hear that man. There are a couple of debloated stock ROMs in the Development section that you may be able to download and install which I have heard works with the Mod (since they are directly based on the factory images) or you can reinstall the October 27th release without flashing the Mod zip. Best of luck to you!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Hello Guys, first time to flash this rom, i flashed the main file and the nov 27 update and everything went successfully.

during phone setup my phone keeps rebooting continously. any idea?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
I am using [MENTION=5284958]tupac4us[/MENTION] debloated ROM. Works great!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Did you follow the steps in the following post for your relevant situation: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64041010? Does not sound like you did if you flashed October 27th then November 27th.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] :
Lite rom works great too.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
I am running the Oct 20 release (the one which was a full rom) with no issues really and am very happy with it. I looked at the change logs and there are some nice features, but also a lot has changed in the way the rom is installed, permissive/enforcing etc. Should I wipe my phone and install the latest version, or should we wait for the Dec update which is coming soon?

Also is it possible to use another base rom (instead of stock image) and then flash the mod on top? Which ones have been known to work?

And a question for [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] or someone else - is it possible to have an auto hide status bar just like the nav bar? Don't mean immersive mode.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] greeneyez15o:
Haha same thing happened to me. Look at the previous post for the answer. GL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
You should wipe before installing but it is up to you if you want to upgrade. I wrote out a solid guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64041010. You shouldn't need to wipe for the December update so there is no reason not to do it now.

I have seen some people use this ROM and this ROM as a base with success though I have not tried it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Good to know. Im still new to flashing roms and mods altogether. The update worked out the only thing is I can't use gravitybox but at least magpie works. Are you using a different kernel or stock?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phia:
Hello I apologize gratefully in advance in case somebody already asked this question. But I have a question lol. Right now I'm on Chroma, I want to try Cataclysm out. I don't want to go through flashing the factory image through fast boot and all that. Is it safe to say that I can just flash a stock rom and then the Cataclysm mod? Thank you in advance ???
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
why do you post this? i mean with this information nobody can assist you in any way and just sharing frustration would not be appropriate, at least i'd not be interested. what i'm sayin' is that you should provide proper infromation as to what and how you flashed over what and what themes or other mods you're using and then perhaps a log ideally.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
People have had success with doing that, yes. Just make a nandroid backup before so you can revert in case there are any issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
Thanks, I had read your guide previously also. I always try to do a full wipe+flash to avoid any issues but with monthly updates may change this.

One more qn - does the systemless root method work with this rom (I'm assuming it will) so I can still use Android Pay?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I just realized I sounded a little conceited in the post lol, solid was not a necessary adjective. But yeah the monthly updates are going to be a bit of a pain but atl4ntis has this pretty well figured out!

Yes, it should. Process would go like (assuming you come from stock MDB08M, use that guide if you need it):

1. Download SuperSU v2.56 and systemless root boot.img here (extract boot.img from the zip file).

2. Install Cataclysm Mod zip

3. Flash modified boot.img in TWRP by selecting Install, Images button in bottom right hand corner, clicking on boot.img, and choosing boot partition.

4. Flash SuperSU v2.56.

5. Flash a custom kernel if you want.

6. Profit.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
I used to think the same way as you, but trust me its worth just doing it the correct way. It took me 15 minutes to reteach myself fastboot (hadn't really used it since I first unlocked/rooted my phone last year).

Once you just take that little bit if time out of your day, it is really just a 2 minute process to fastboot flash the system image once you connect your phone to your PC.

If you want to lose some bloat, download a system app remover from the play store and do it yourself. Takes just another minute of your time. Now you can be certain that this mod will work as the dev intended.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
this is not helpful when using themes and xposed because all that stuff is installed and would brake when flashing full system and booting first to remove bloat while the mods are not properly installed. main reason why many want to remove gapps is that they cannot install xposed, larger or several themes and the likes. hence a removal on rom update flash is recommended and a goal to reach which makes sense. we already have recovery flashable zips floating around xda which even allow to remove individually chosen apps before booting and hence being able to flash all the necessary zips to achieve the pre-update state which corresponds with the setup before the update.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Hey BTW. Where did you find the 30r radio to flash. I can't find the file
[Nexus 6 Android Development] CountKrzysztof:
As far as I know, there isn't a flashable radio out yet. I'm about to go through the process of banking up my current rom/data, downgrading, using the MRA58X OTA, then restoring the backup. Lol it almost seems like it's more trouble than it's worth.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Running the tupac4us rom with this mod and it's running smooth
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idnoidno:
This rom is so perfect in my Nexus 6 . But why not release the rom version then mod like hammerhead?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
The Shamu Mod zips are not like the Hammerhead beta zips. atl4ntis can build the ROM on Hammerhead because he owns the device and can fully test it when there are new sources released without issues. He does not own a Nexus 6 so when new sources are put out, he cannot verify that the build works before releasing it, he must rely on user feedback. That whole process is not sustainable in the long run since updates are now monthly. So he created the mod so he can modify the necessary files for the future but know that the base he is starting from works and is stable so it will work on first release without much testing. I believe he said he plans to bring the Mod to Hammerhead eventually but he has to make sure that people understand the difference between the ROM and the Mod before he puts it out.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] str8str:
Of course there is
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pathtologos:
Hey all. I used the search function but didn't get any results. I just bought the device used (it's in good shape) and I immediately installed cataclysm (cuz it's the best IMO). What I'm noticing--and I'm not sure if it was happening on stock--is that when I plug in the Motorola quick charger, the device reads that I'm charging over USB. It also charges slow as hell. I have a note 5 quick charger from before. When I plug that one in it reads charging over AC, as it should. I dont have a problem with using the note 5 charger but I'm wondering: a) is there an easy fix for this? And b) the note 5 quick charger should work to charge just as fast as the moto one, correct?

FYI, I did use the moto USB cable to do fastboot functions (unlock bootloader, flash twrp, etc) so I think it's gotta be the charger itself, not the cable.

Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I don't believe the Note 5 charger uses Quick Charge 2.0 as that is a Qualcomm technology, which Samsung no longer uses in favor of their own Exynos processor. Samsung's site says it will charge non-Samsung devices at up to 2A, at 5V (10W) I believe. Motorola's charger will do 1.6A at 9V or 1.2A at 12V (14.4W) which should be faster than Samsung's since it is doing more work. I could be totally wrong about all that though. I am not sure why it is giving you that reading since I have always had quick charging on any ROM I have been on, including this one. Do you have another quick charger you can test with? Without that, there is no way to tell if it is the charger or the device. You could flash back to stock to test but I don't believe it is the ROM.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
It's the cable. I have faced such issues when the cable's locking pins are damaged. Is the cable tight or does it move around in the phone?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] pathtologos:
I'm gonna try a different cable and see what happens. I might have to stick with the Samsung one or buy a new moto one. I'll post back. Thanks guys.

EDIT: tried different cable--same crap. So I'm gonna give the Samsung charger a try. If not, I found a replacement on amazon for $10.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
I got lost in this post a bit. So you are saying that removing system apps (sheets, slides, docs, etc) after booting is a bad thing?

Ordinarily I wouldn't bother with removing them and instead I would just disable them, but all the space the take up on the system partition prevented me from installing all the layers i wanted to.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] idnoidno:
The cataclysm rom is a stock rom ,isn't it? The Shamu mod can flash on the cataclysm rom by

the installation guild of Q and A?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
People not following installation instructions keeps coming back like a plague.

Guys, just read the OP. It details exactly what you need to do. If you can't follow it, don't flash Cataclysm.

Everything from alternate flashing methods to custom debloat flashable zips has been detailed multiple times in this thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
No, it is based on AOSP. You need to flash the system.img from the Google factory images site here. My guide here should help walk you through it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] phia:
Its been so long since I've used a fast boot. I'm the same way the only time I used it when I initially rooted my phone.. Lol its been a long time I got to find the instructions lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tkalli:
See HERE
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
^ yup that is what I used to relearn the process. The section in post 2 that goes over setting up the command prompt shortcut is awesome and makes using fastboot so ridiculously fast and easy.

Literally all I do us go to the folder where I extracted the system.img, shift+right click, click "open command prompt here", and type "fastboot flash system system.img".
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Still the same!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Which section did you follow?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Guys chill I know how to use fastboot, I extracted the stock file and flash system.img (2gb file) using fastboot and went successfully, followed the instruction as stated in op but still I get random reboots after apps initialisation.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
We are trying to help out. Have you installed anything else (custom kernel, Xposed, etc.)? If so, go back to completely stock to test. If not, when you get a reboot, try to extract /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops or /proc/last_kmsg.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
I came from aosip ROM with custom kernel and closed. I did a factory reset except internal storage then flashoot the system.img and etc.

Should I really need to go to stock after experiencing reboots?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
So you did an advanced wipe, selecting data, cache, dalvik cache and system? I mean stock as in stock MRA58R with Cataclysm on top of it, no extra fluff if you had it. Next time your phone reboots, see if there is anything in those folder locations
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Yap, but I flashed the oct file then the Nov 27 file.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
You cannot do that. You MUST flash the stock MRA58R system.img with fastboot first then flash Cataclysm. That is why you are getting reboots.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
I already flashed system.img (MRA58R) using fastboot. Then twrp recovery flashed cataclysm oct file+nov27 update
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
You are flashing October 27th which you are not supposed to do. Just MRA58R then November 27th. The October 27th build is the full ROM, the November 27th is the Mod zip. The October 27th build is essentially obsolete now that there is the Mod.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Thank you! Got it now!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
??

Stock based unless I'm really missing something. Instructions are specific about not using an AOSP based ROM as base .... Correct??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
The ROM (October 27th) is based on AOSP, the Mod (November 27th) is based on stock.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
OK ..... The suspense is killing me. Any hints?

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

The ROM is "obsolete" now ... So technically this is a stock based ROM right? Not trying to be a PR__k ..... It's just important for some things as far as use of the ROM after you actually get it up and going. Somethings work on stock based ROMs and some work on AOSP ROMs
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
No you are fine. Yes I agree, the ROM is "obsolete" but it is still available for installation. I am going to continue to make the distinction between the ROM and Mod until the ROM is taken down for good and only the Mod can be installed.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Thanks for your help! Any idea where this allusive 30r radio/modem is?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I've tried searching but I have not seen it. Google Factory Images site does not have anything newer than 27R and none of the other locations that have radios appear to have anything.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] suku_patel_22:
[MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] Can you please remove the Oct 27th file from AFH? That would probably help reduce the confusion for people who can't read the OP. Once they don't see a big file, they will come and read.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
as it seems you already go a nice answer but still please read a bit before asking such questions. it has been explained and discussed over dozens of pages i this thread and BTW, Nexus 5 will receive the mod as per december as well, at least that's what he mentioned upon latest rom release. this approach is a first and anyone with a bit of flexibility and thinking will find out that it's a great step forward when it comes to always having the lastest stock google experience + the stable running featues we all like so much ( including radios and bootloader BTW, remember all the bootloader and modem discussions several times a year, now you'll just have things right at least once every month and once you got used to fastboot flash you'll see that it's somehow even increasing confidence in yourself once you mastered both methods in a routinely manner. gives you freedom to choose and react faster instead of waiting for flashable zips which btw are available for this device and will certainly be for every device with this new method.

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

sorry if i expressed myself not easy to understand :) until now it was always recommended to freeze gapps instead of uninstalling to avoid issues with shared libraries but since google loaded the system partition to capacity with only 33MB free space left it's now necessary to remove some gapps to install certain themes + xposed etc. and because xposed and themes are better re-applied before 1st boot after update to avoid issues with app data of mods that were installed but are missing at that moment, it's recommended to get rid of the not needed gapps before booting which is not possible without a de-bloating zip with the possibility to choose which gapps one wants go get rid of and while it's possible to remove gapps after booting that would make it a hassle to re-install xposed and large themes for the reasons explained above. so all is good, IMO you got things right.

PS: you can even romove gapps and re-add them via playstore should you need them. this will make room on system partition while a gapp like slides can easily go as a user app.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
No...

This is a stock based rom... With a handful of AOSP based files...

Even before the 'mod'
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Ah yes I forgot about the unique way of merging. I should have been more clear. Still involves AOSP because there was merging of files but it was not purely based on it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
Guys i know that this rom (Whatever you call it) is based on stock and the only difference is, theres is a special setting for catalysm. am i right? as for my observations, the speed and performance is just like a stock.

can you share some light in here if my observation is right?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
Kinda...

The framework, systemui, and settings are heavily modified... And some telephony... And his own apk...

You can check the zip...

Performance.... Yup... Stock...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
Anyone succesfully running xposed and gravitybox here? I get systemui crash with gravitybox
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nemanja066:
Why do i use cataclysm? Because it is different from all others ROM in every aspect. All other ROM are same and equal (like mold, i dont feel any difference), cataclysm is unique.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JolliuS:
Using it for a week now, with 0 problems...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
Same here, using it for days now and not one problem, Not one. That is unique right there, but the real difference is the way it works. Instead of rebuilding every file, like a full ROM does, it only updates the relevant files and adds whichever mods the Dev specifies. For example, I'll say Chroma, rebuilds the entire ROM. Each file is rewritten to the entire device. We never thought about it before but now that I See this, that's pretty redundant. Not to mention, many of the mods in the Cataclysm Settings are different than on most ROMS.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
Dear why put this much effort in bashing a rom.

Its probably wise that you switch to better roms already.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] cink40:
[MENTION=4403866]rudynasco[/MENTION], well for me there is little things like gps, ringer mode, volume in quick settings, google dialer, bluetooth enabled but not showing if disconnected etc. Battery life and speed ( no stuttering) is for me very similar to aosp roms that i tried ( chroma, pure nexus, and some other i forgot)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nemanja066:
- stable and bug free as stock, modify only several files

- no more optimizing app after each flash

- no Gapps

- zip package is about 30 MB

- some unique features and excellent reorganized (call blocker, smart radio, quick torch, some battery saver options, per app settings, notidication control etc...)

...

For me it's more than enough.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
Ouch...why some of us are getting systemui crashes? Maybe some conflicting settings?

I dont know
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
For me one of the most essential feature that Cataclysm has is the ability to set app notifications for lockscreen specifically so that you can set an app to show its notification on the homescreen and elsewhere but not on the lockscreen. I use apps like Lux and Screeble which show there notifications on the lockscreen redundandly, which is of no use and also take up precious space from other notifications on the lockscreen.

Surprisingly no other Rom for shamu has this feature implemented.

P.S: Also the Smart Radio is a killer option
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
So... I was doing some thinking...

And I was wondering...

What does those with more tinker time than me think about flashing this mod... With beans's dialer... Over Frank?

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

OK... Here's why I'm asking...

Recently... I am having issues with downloads being stalled and starting back up when they feel like it... And adaptive brightness has gone haywire... Going to max on screen on and fading down over time...

Flashed the untouched rom built by the guy from this thread... After these issues started with the factory image...

No xposed... Just layers out the wazoo... But I still have the issue with them removed...

Running Franco.kernel now... But had it on elementalx as well
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
Anyone know of some nice status bar tweaks? Looking for a new look.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Last night I full wiped, flashed a lite stock rom by tupacs4u, flashed cataclysm and things been running smooth.. I was on the bloated stock rom prior. the battery life is also better, and mods install without any issues

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Just tried it and got the same crash.. All the other xposed mods work fine.. Not sure if cataclysm is supported and or running elite kernel could be a problem. I had elite kernel while on pure which is supported and gb worked just fine
