Just sharing my experience..

I had problem with some apps with systemless root 2.61, my proxy forwarder for example didnt detect root.

So I shameless flashed supersu 2.52 on top of my installation and everything is working fine again.

My setup:

Last cataclysm zip (dirty flashed) from.previous

Franco kernel 35

Supersu 2.61

Supersu 2.52 flashed after some reboots
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ldjr:
Thanks, I got it going on 6.0.1 and I think this was my problem. Even though guitardhero 's zips should work with enforcing, I had to un-tick enforcing in aroma.

Unfortunately though there are a couple of root apps that are not working with systemless root right now, secure settings is the main one, so I think I'm going to stay on 6.0 til the next security update. Maybe by that time some of the issues/apps will be good with systemless root.

Thanks again for the help.

Damn just saw this! Now I am going to have to try this to see if my apps start to behave. :D

After you flashed 2.52 are you still systemless root?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
I dont know, probably not.

Android pay is not working in my country so I dont care that much.

I hack my system partition a lot for now

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
But you do use SSU 2.52 with ElementalX 3.07, right? Or are you even using 3.06?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
3.06 as stated indirectly. there is nothing missing in 3.06. 3.07 is just for systemless root while all other features work the same.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Thank you. I'm doing exactly the same as you but with 3.07. It seems that there are other things changed also in kernels for 601. Not just to coincidence of start using systemless root. BTW 3.07 works fine with SSU 2.52 for now.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adamczyk777:
Here everything is fine with small MOD zip, systemless superSU(2.61) and hellscore B-12 kernel. I don't know what about android pay because I'm from Poland and it is not avalible here.

Well I have no issues so far. But try to delete apks from priv-app, and then reboot and flash themable, or skip flashing viper and check if it is still unstable. Trying is a good option but i suggest having a backup somewhere on your phone just in case :)

I mean those apks in GoogleContacts and GoogleDialer folders in priv-app folder.

Can I flash the Mod over [ROM]【6.0.1】MMB29K [Lite] - 【Factory Image Based】【Stock kernel】- 12/09/15? If so, do I need to do anything different than before? I tired once and got No-Sim and couldn't unlock the phone. Had to reflash the rom again.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JoeM01:
so, am I really the only person who lost the "Check for System Update" button?

Even after flashing the stock system.img file, I still don't have it.

Anyone? Bueller?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Go into TWRP, wipe system, reboot into the bootloader, then flash system.img and reboot.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] JoeM01:
ha! never even thought of wiping the partition first (durhur). good looking out. will try tonight.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] RickGrimes411:
Hope you see this in the Lite thread too. And to all that flash this mod with Lite rom and it does not read your SIM card. Thanks to a suggestion form [MENTION=528201]NLBeev[/MENTION] i got mine to work. I full wiped and then installed Lite ROM, Cat Mod, and then SuperSU 2.61. Now it connects to LTE no problem. I did not have your lock screen issue so i dont know if this will fix that as well or not.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] casonswag:
Wheres the mod at i dont see it in op? Or am i over looking it?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
When the lock screen issue is there and showing ' No sim card' than try to flash SuperSU 2.6.x from TWRP (as the last flash action).

amazing how fast you go through the initial setup screens on 6.01; at least 3 times as fast as it was on 6.0

super simple flash; full wipe, flash full zip, super su 2.61, elemental kernel, and boom!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Alxoom33:
All of the layers I used on 6.0 are working. Just need to debloat some of the System gapps to make some room for them.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rudynasco:
I wouldnt waste my time joking! the only little thing i like about cataclysm is the no app optimization when flashing zip file! just flash xposed zip file and it took 72 apps to optimise? ridiculous isnt it???

flash elite kernel again waited 10 years to finish the optimisation!!!

If this is the case what is the use of flashing a rom? ID RATHER CHOOSE TO BE STUCKED ON MY 6.0.1 FACTORY VERSION!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] oak:
Regardless of rom, when you change be it is going to optimize, once. If it does it every time, you've jacked something up. Might want to take a pill and clean flash.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
he doesn't know what he is talking about, don't feed the trolls, it's not by accident that he's on my ignore list which is by far the best way to get a rarely spoiled reading experience LOL. every rom with ART has to optimize apps after wiping caches and it has nothing to do with the rom, if anything with the number of apps installed and stock google comes with the highest possible number of gapps but then we can exclude them, hence that comment is simply ( everyone can choose a term here ) LOL
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tuckandroll:
Anyone else's camera not working? Did a clean flash and it just fails to load the camera just a black screen...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Are you using a custom kernel? 6.0.1 ROMs are not compatible with 6.0 kernels and vice versa.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
cannot confirm, working well here, on N6 as well as on N5, did you remove system apps that may share libraries or you could try to clear app data. not very much sorry but that's all that comes to mind right now, i know it's not much :) hope you can solve it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] simple23227:
Mine is also working fine here. Maybe try another clean flash or another kernel. But I'm not using the stock camera, I'm using the snap camera app. Well worth the price.

BTW, I'm rocking Dec 8th 2015 build with Elementalx kernel 3.07 and this thing is flying. Battery life seems pretty good too. And I'm sure it'll get better after a few more charges.

I really don't think anyone would need anything else besides this beast. I was rocking the Oct 27th stable build for a month, then now just flashed the Dec 8th build. To be honest, nowadays, I only go on XDA to see if this ROM gets any updates or new mods, that's it. LOL That's how fast and stable this ROM is (nevermind them trolls) ! Well, this for sure is my daily driver until I get a new phone. It has been a long time since I can actually stop flashing and actually enjoy my phone. Kudos to [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION]. THANK YOU.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
Sorry I've been away for a while so might've missed some stuff. I'm on the first release of the CataclysmMod, do I need to start from the beginning or just flash the mod on top everything?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
If you are on the Mod, you should be okay to just flash the file. Backing up would be a good idea though. Here is a process:

1. If you are rooted, flash UnSU (to get rid of SuperSU in your system partition). If not, go on.

2. Flash the full Cataclysm zip (dirty flash should be fine).

3. Flash SuperSU v2.61 (if you want root).

4. Flash a custom kernel (if you want).

5. Reboot and profit.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] yudumcan:
thanks for that so do I need to unroot the phone and root it again? also does the mod have the latest 6.0.1 marshmallow?

cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, because the method of root changed. That UnSU file will remove system root (2.52) and flashing SuperSU 2.61 will give you systemless root, since that is the one that works with stock right now. The file for Cataclysm in that post includes the latest stock system.img (6.0.1) and Cataclysm all in one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hayzooos:
I've been using an N6 for a couple months now, running stock + xposed for the most part. Used Cata for the last handful of months on the N5 and loved it. Glad it's here too!

Just read the last 5-7 days worth of posts, and is this 'mod' what I think it is? You can flash the stock google image, then the small mod and be all set? I'm imagining only flashing the system.img so all the Cata settings would be backed up on data (which wouldn't be touched) and you'd be able to restore everything very quickly. If so, that's a really cool feature.

I'm planning on updating tonight by flashing the big zip and going from there. Thanks in advance atl4ntis.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Only if you are in build date November 8th or earlier. If you are on a build later than November 15th, you can dirty flash but backup before you do in case you run into issues. If you are rooted, you will need to remove SuperSU before flashing.

I downloaded version is 950MB . I Guess I'll have to do all wipes and install starting from 0
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
You can flash that over your current install if you want but if you don't mind setting up clean, you won't have any problems.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:

If I have a lite rom with the Nov 27 release, can I upgrade the newest 6.0.1 lite rom and install the Nov 27th cataclysm release? because I only see the full 900mb version.. Or is it better to just do a clean flash of the full? I don't care much for the system less root.. Thanks

does cataclysm mod really needs the system less root ?

i flashed

lite rom from dan

cata mod

and its not reading my sim

earlier i flashed

lite rom

cata mod

unSU

supersu 2.52

stuck on bootanimation screen

dont know if it even boots up to home screen

can someone enlighten me ??
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
I tried the Lite ROM method and got the No SIM error as well. What ended up working was flashing the full Cataclysm file then SuperSU 2.61 and everything ended up booting up just fine with root enabled. Stock needs systemless root, system is not working at the moment which is why you get the bootloop.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Droidphilev:
Flashed Tupac4u

Flashed Cata Mod

Flashed Elite kernel permissive

Using SuperSU 2.52 and no problems

It's quite some time since I flashed this ROM, and I just noticed there's a lot of updates. Can I just flash the newest or should I go through them all?

the question is, since when was your last update?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] andreglud:
27/10/2015
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
You will need to clean install with the below process:

1. Download full Cataclysm zip from OP, SuperSU 2.61 (if you want root) and an optional custom kernel.

2. Boot into your bootloader.

3. Fastboot flash the radio and bootloader from the latest factory image (optional but highly recommended).

4. Boot into TWRP.

5. Backup your current ROM (optional but HIGHLY recommended).

6. Wipe everything but internal storage.

7. Flash Cataclysm 6.0.1.

8. Flash SuperSU 2.61 (optional).

9. Flash your custom kernel (optional, do this before step 8 if it is Franco Kernel).

10. Reboot and enjoy.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] andreglud:
Yea okay. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
Step 9, flash kernel, should be after flashing the Rom, otherwise the Rom will overwrite it. Probably a typo on your part?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Whoops! Yes it should be swapped with step 8 instead of 7, I'll edit that now, thanks for the heads up!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] destinydmm:
I cannot for the life of me upgrade this thing LOL. I've wiped. un-rooted flashed Rom, SU 2.61

At this point, the best thing for you to do is clean install. Here is a guide that should get you booted without any issues.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] destinydmm:
Yes. They try to reboot. Nothing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
this is correct but only applies if one decides to change to systemless root. i don't think it a good idea to make the impression that this is mandatory for the following reasons:

a) systemless root is WIP according to chainfire

b) systemless root is buggy according to chainfire. Does not play well with frequently used apps like ES-FileExplorer or "Secure Settings" which those who don't use them will never find out

c) it's not clear yet where this ( systemless root ) is going, again according to chainfire

you find all those statements on chainfires thread about systemless root

finally and again i want to point out that this rom can be installed like any version before with superSU 2.52 conventional root method and to flash the new mod over the old one does not do the job as stated earlier. of course, using the mod, one has to flash 6.0.1 system.img via fastboot first.

EDIT: modified boot.img or kernel with necessary modifications is needed to run 6.0.1 with supersu 2.52. on such kernel would be elementalX 3.06 for nexus 6 and 6.06. for nexus 5

Indeed. Because of dirty flashing there are "old" SuperSU leftovers. You should flash unSU.zip or wipe your system partition before flashing.

Still i have to agree with [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]. Systemless root is still WIP and labeled experimental by Chainfire.

When i use supersu 2.6, i cant use Es File to change the DPI. Whith supersu 5.2 i can whithout problem.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
It is probably the sepolicy. Check if the kernel is enforced or permissive.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ramoneluis:
Ok. So, when i have a permessive kernel, I can have supersu 2.6 without problems:confused:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
When a previous version of SuperSU is used and after that version 2.6x there could be issues, when the system partition is not wiped before flashing a rom and the new superSU 2.6x.

Enforced kernels do not work with every rom.

I swear man, I'm glad I got the the end of the thread before I posted this exact same thing.

Come on people. This is a New Base, figure it out. If you can't even read that last few pages, then move on to something else. I counted the exact same post asking how to flash on the last 5 pages and all were nearly verbatim. [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] has answered almost every one of them, but even he will get frustrated eventually.

If you are on Oct 27, no don't dirty flash.

If you are on Nov 8, you could roll the dice. I did and it worked, but I also encountered some issues that facilitated for me to clean flash.

If you are on X and have issues, just clean flash and restore. It takes less than a half an hour and that is on the upper threshold of timeframes.

Flash the right kernel for the base.

Flash the right SuperSU for the kernel.

Read, Read and when you think you might have a question, click this link ----> Click Me

This is getting old. I mean you read the post that [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] linked yesterday right? If not, you should. I did.

I have read this in a few threads now. I would feel safe to say that ES isn't updated to work with systemless root just yet, as are many other apps. I also have a few apps (DiskUsage for instance) that aren't playing well with 2.61 and worked perfectly fine with 2.52-6. I use Root Explorer with no issues writing to /system with SU2.61 and I saw someone the other day say that FX Explorer works too. Maybe reach out to the ES guys and touch base with them (be sure to provide enough information to substantiate your message) or search in the SuperSU thread to see if someone has mentioned it in there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] wtherrell:
This information really should be prominently featured in OP. IMHO it would avoid most of the confusion. Instructions in post 2xxx? How's anyone newly coming to the rom supposed to easily find that buried treasure?

Let's not be so hard on the folks who are so eager to try this superb rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
this is wrong. has nothing to do with SELinux but with hard coded path to root files while system less root brakes that path or with other words, root files are not where they used to be ( in system ) and hence some apps with the path to the conventional directory hardcoded don't find the necessary files, while most apps simply check for root and adopt the path as is. as many times stated now for those who follow the thread. i recommend to stick to conventional root method because too many apps and mods don't work with systemless root yet for the reasons stated above and before.

thus far this is no problem and everyone is free to try things out but:

a) one should be able to manage the outcome and revert back by himself, else perhaps should not use this stuff

b) since it was many enough times stated now, all this repeatedly asking the same thing again only shows that neither search was used nor reading was done.

EDIT: modified boot.img or kernel with necessary modifications is needed to run 6.0.1 with supersu 2.52. on such kernel would be elementalX 3.06 for nexus 6 and 6.06. for nexus 5
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
I agree with you, especially about new people who are fresh and want to try this ROM out. But the amount of posts that say, "I'm coming from X-date version of Cataclysm, can this be flashed over?". Those are the ones who clearly haven't read, at the base minimum, the last 5 pages. I mean, I wasn't kidding when I said I saw the same question on each page from the last time I checked the thread to this morning (about 5-6 pages). Clearly shows that they are not reading, especially when those very same questions were answered in the same 5-6 pages.

I'm all for patience and helping out, believe me. But it's a two way street and the barest of efforts needs to be put in before (re)posting a question that was literally answered 1 page back.

I am currently on 6.0 with a few Xposed tweaks. When I try to dirty flask 6.0.1 I get stuck in a bootloop. I thought I followed all the instruction right. In the past I did have issues installing Xposed also causing boot issue, is it possible I need to uninstall it first then flash?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
try to mention exaxtly what you did and how you rooted and in which recovery. there are many ways how you can brake things currently. one would have to read about 5 threads ( systemless root by chainfire, kernel thread, this thread, etc. to know it all. did you unroot before flashing systemless root? instead you could format system partition manually to get rid of residues, use unroot feature in root app or use unroot.zips.

but you see, it's not even certain that you used that root method i'm talking about, hence it's all guesswork. provide proper detailed input and/or logs.
