gravity box ( parts of it ) especially navbar settings interfere with cata navbar implementations, you can make it work if there is GB feature you want under all circumstances but you will always be exposed to highly probable issues which are not always seeming related on first glance. on the other hand many of GB's features are available in smaller or even single modules which you can mix witch this rom/mod and get what you need/want.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
like this ?

you'd need xposed for it, check flat style indicator in the playstore

compatibility is not yet on par with LP but it works ok, just the setup is a bit more work than usual while i expect this to improve, there were 3 updates last week alone and each was making things easier while it was always working as i said.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
No issues with gravitybox at all here on my end
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Any of you have gb working while using elite kernel?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
IMO the new way this rom is built is perfect - choose base built on stock + flash a small mod containing all the features. It almost guarantees maximum stability. In fact when I think about it the mod could almost be an apk that can be installed on a rooted phone? (not really serious).

One thing I noticed is I'm getting a lot of battery drain due to Wifi overnight, like 10-20%, and in battery stats Wifi is the only big user. Should we have wifi disabled when sleeping?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tkalli:
No problem with WiFi drain here overnight. Setup is in my sig.

No mods of any kind added other than Cataclysm.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Exactly. It is easier for atl4ntis and easier for the users. Only downside is having to flash the system.img from the computer but that only needs to be done once a month. But you don't need to wipe, the updates are really fast to install, and it is super stable. Only reason that people are having a hard time is because they think the ROM file is still the base, not stock and maybe installing other mods. Oh well, I don't really mind helping people out until everyone gets on board.

I think that is a Marshmallow bug (from the OP). You can try turning Wi-Fi off but I don't know if that helps. I'd make sure Wi-Fi scanning is disabled in Settings > Location > Menu dots > Scanning too.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Just curious. I saw something that said flashing the system.img wiped internal storage. Is there a workaround for this?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
Thank you for pointing me to that.

I solved resetting to defaults navbar and statusbar cataclysm settings, and then installing gravitybox.

It was some kind of conflict, now all is working good
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ravenryan:
Not sure if its my phone, my area or the roms.. but i keep doing speed tests on lTE and its only like 1mbps lol... like uhmmmmmm what....
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
I just tested mine. Ping - 40, D/L - 22.79, U/L - 41.73
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ravenryan:
my ping is 32 ms D/L 17.31 and up 11.55 WTF is going on lol...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Z1cK:
Yes. No problem with gravity box. Make sure you don't use some mod that are already included in the ROM, it may cause issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Reset the status bar setting and it's working. Good looks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
No flashing system.img via fastboot (fastboot flash system system.img) does not wipe internal storage.

Flashing userdata.img on the other hand wipes the internal storage.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
it does not, if you see one such post you can conclude it's wrong because just imagine that would be the case :) the treads would be full of it and [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] would never have come up with that solution in the first place. just let common sense rule over blabla.... ;):laugh:
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
That's great. I was hoping. But the OP actually says it does wipe the internal storage
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i can't see that, quote it and hide the big rest. IMO it says either you are on stock or you full wipe and fastboot flash system image which both does not include internal storage/ internal sdcard. after all most of us did that, hence it did not wipe internal storage for anyone, hence even if it would be int the op which imo it is not, it would be wrong.

however just post the part in the OP which you mean, i'm sure it's all about terms and full wipe means: system, cache, dalvik cache and data partition but not internal storage. curiously waiting for your reply on the matter because i think it's important to clarify for others who are unsure :) ;)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Check out mid page, where it talks about flashing Google Factory images. It leaves you wondering a little about whether your internal storage might remain intact with flashing ......

Glad to hear that flashing just the system image won't do that
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
That's talking about flashing the entire firmware from Google, not just the system.img.

That's why, in Nathan's guide, he says extract that from the download after you unzip it and flash it in fastboot, or, like I did, use Wug's toolkit to flash it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheDannemand:
Silliness aside, I can understand how some people forgot how to use fastboot if they only ever used it to first unlock their bootloader -- and blindly typed commands from a guide they barely understood. But it really is a glorious truth that you can recover a Nexus from almost anything if you know how to flash Google factory image. It is so very easy to do and so very, very useful.

Every Nexus user should know how to do this before venturing into rooting, custom ROMs or modding. It's been said a million times, and now a million and one. It was true every single time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
now i'm sure that i understand your correctly, this is the entire factory image not the system.img only. as to the new mod it's only necessary to extract the system.img without the boot.img, modems and the likes. i was quite sure that it was only a misunderstandings but it was good to sort it out for things to be clarified once more. all good and settled :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
Thread Cleaned again and issue is taken care of for the time being.

***********************

Also, there is an issue that seems to be surfacing quite often a lot lately and frankly I am getting a bit tired of it. Fastboot. Yes we all did it when we unlocked our bootloaders on this or another Nexus that we have owned in the past. For some, that was the first

and last time

that they did it. For others, Fastboot happens almost daily. That isn't the issue. The problem is that some think that Fastboot should be carved on the inner forearm and if you somehow forget the commands, your first born will suffer a fate worse than that of a snail trapped in a salt mine. It's time to lay off and stop using your experience to engorge your e-peen. Let's help those who need it please. Takes almost no time at all and it's free.

There is one specific person that I am talking to, but this goes for everyone in general too. It's the holiday season. Let show a little patience and compassion or I would be more than happy to give a few the holiday season off if they'd like.

[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
Sorry Woody but I don't understand which thread you had gotten this impression from. Seems that a lot of guys here have been helping even repeat offenders with getting to grips with fastboot
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
Yes, there are quite a few people here that are helping all the time. Just to name a few [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] [MENTION=354700]ben_pyett[/MENTION] [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] [MENTION=665303]tkalli[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2476191]GavinMazey[/MENTION] (obviously this isn't an all inclusive list). That is not what I am talking about. There are a few users who think that they are "The Almighty's Gift" to Fastboot and we should all be basking in their glow. Those are the ones that I am talking about.

I read this thread every day, as I run this Mod on my N6 and Cata on my wife's N5. So I know who does what and why.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
For me, I'm not so sure that Fastboot in and of itself is any issue. The issue is doing something with "flashing ROM's" (that many of us do daily , even several times daily) that is out of the ordinary and requires a PC. My biggest concern since I don't flash system.img's very often was wiping my Internal storage --- which I understand won't wipe internal storage.

Never hurts to ask becasue even when flashing radio img's and bootloader imgs -- some are made to wipe everything as you flash them (I learned the hard way) and some are made to not wipe anything.

I kinda knew the answer but I was 100% for sure that many who frequent the thread did not and will continue to not -- unless the instructions are reiterated. If that is going to cause frustration for those that "get it" then they better be prepared to be frustrated ----- things out of the norm often do that
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
For all those who prefer a flashable zip, absolutely not altered stock system.img converted into a recovery flashable zip which was posted earlier in this thread by [MENTION=2476191]GavinMazey[/MENTION], follow this thread to stay current and get future releases upon google updates: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/rom-stock-mra58r-gapps-custom-stock-t3254496

for those who prefer to de-bloat their system partition to make room for additional mods like xposed and larger themes and do it before rebooting so to keep the already installed mods intact ( you have to reflash all the zips like xposed.zip etc. ) there is a recovery flashable de-bloater with which you can even choose upon flash which gapps not to install here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64022475&postcount=3353

considering these two tools being available i think that this should be a non-issue from now on. perhaps those interested to have a quick helpful reply for newcomers could store those two links and provide them quickly upon request.

for those who are extremely eager to get things under own control, check here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59002827&postcount=1

this is the place where we can learn how to make our own de-bloater, the link was discovered and originally shared with my by [MENTION=333246]oak[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheDannemand:
I have to assume you are targeting me, since I just posted a heartfelt recommendation that users learn to flash Google factory images.

Considering that flashing factory images is now an integral part of Cataclysm, and considering how many posts are spent in this thread trying to avoid it, and further considering how much good it can do users if they know how to do this, you cannot objectively call it an unreasonable recommendation. Certainly it is on-topic for this thread.

In my post I expressed full understanding for those users who forgot fastboot, and there was no snark in my recommendation. And it's not like I've been harping on this before (not as I recall). You make it sound like I am an ongoing menace to the forum.

You may not agree with my recommendation, but you know that is not the test for a moderator. And certainly it doesn't justify poorly concealed personal attacks on a member. I am a moderator myself on other forums and completely familiar with the balancing act required at times.

I wanted to keep this on pm, but after your second post here I kind of have to respond. I fully expect you to delete this post (it is off topic) but I would ask that you also delete your attacks in your own post as well.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] tri0xinn:
Phenomenal Battery life! I had a previous version of Marshmallow.. can't remember which ran great but battery life was slightly disappointing and just seemed to get worse. Not sure if this is Cataclysm or just Marshmallow but my battery life is better than I have ever experienced, for example this morning after unplugging I spent 30+ minutes on Chrome/Drudge/Slickdeals/Youtube... , then bluetooth music to work for 30 minutes, then about an hour+ lightly using. I'm at 87 percent.. typically I'd be in the 60s by this time and with that use.. usually not making it a full day.

Also I plugged in last night after 2 days with 36 percent left. thanks!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Woody:
Welp, actually it wasn't about you. ;) I replied to your PM btw.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] TheDannemand:
Oh, now I really feel like an idiot [emoji33]

Apologies in that case, and thank you for your response.

Edit: Got back after a long day of meetings to finally read your PM. Very gracefully handled on your part, which I much appreciate. And great points you mention which I will take to heart. Now, once again apologies (to all) for making such a fuss in the thread.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] davwman:
So, I have f2fs running and there is a slight difference in app opening speed, so I will be sticking with it. Can anyone provide info on whether or not f2fs needs to be redone after a fresh rom install like updating to a new m release? I found little info on this topic and the short answer is "no" but if anyone has more info they could provide I would greatly appreciate it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] GavinMazey:
I'm pretty sure if you are flashing a Rom via twrp you will keep f2fs. If you are flashing via fastboot I'm pretty sure that will overwrite f2fs but I may be wrong. I currently have a stock Rom that has been working good for people and will be updating it as Google updates monthly.

Check [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] post above and he's posted a link to it.

I also have some different options for cataclysm users I made last night. Haven't tested fully yet but it should be good. Basically I've created a flashable mra58r zip that is just the system with no kernel. This should be basically the same thing as fastbooting just the system.img like many are doing. [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] [MENTION=3200478]Woody[/MENTION] [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION]

Would like to get some feedback on if this is a good idea. Pm me if anyone's interested in testing.

[MENTION=3200478]Woody[/MENTION] did you ever have any luck with your debloat script? If not I was thinking if this flashable system works out well I could create other debloated versions based on what your debloater would of removed. I have my personal debloat system flashed and working so it should be possible/fairly easy. I know you were talking about 3 levels of debloat and I could potentially do that. I'm just not sure what to remove to make the different versions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
since the kernel is in the mod ( boot.img ) it's quite feasible to just make a flashable system image, there is only one reason where i smell trouble which are the non-readers who will overwhelm you with bootloop messages when they try to just flash the "rom" which is none really without the mod LOL.

not wanting to take woody's word but as you see in my post above there is a de-bloater with the choice what to not install during flashing which is more or lest the perfect solution, hence i would not be surprised if he would not follow the matter up but let's see, just and educated guess.

as to testing, no problem, just send me the link, i'll do a cleany quick without user apps, just to see how it goes [ tomorrow :) ]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] jcrompton:
Excellent

Thank you

Thus has been happening to me for like the last month with Tapatalk. Pretty annoying and there seems to be no rhyme or reason, some links work some don't. I usually just call webview from Tapatalk and use the browser when it happens.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnzenobia:
I have the nexus 6 motorola running stock 6.0

having an issue after flashing this rom where after the phone boots up it immediately crashes then soft reboots. flashed it twice and same issue twice. any advice?

Thanks

John
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
you'd have to elaborate what exactly you flashed. this rom basically has become a stock+ mod and during the transition it's possible that you flashed incompatible components. watch the wording as well. you say you're on stock 6.0 and flashed the rom while you'd only have to flash the mod and so on. try to be specific and precise in explaining what you did, only then can we guess or know what went wrong. thing is that this works flawlessly when applied correctly, hence we have to find the user error.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnzenobia:
Ok so do I flash this directly on top of the stock rom without wiping? It's been a while of flashing roms for me. thank
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
yes and go to first post and read the part under: "installation" it's described very well there but generally speaking flash the mod over stock without wiping while wiping dalvik and cache does no harm if you want to do so to feel safe :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] gitchrodd:
Yes flash the Nov 27 "mod" on top of stock mra58r.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
To add onto this, I have a detailed guide here if for some reason you have trouble with the OP.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] johnzenobia:
ok trying again. thanks for the input !
[Nexus 6 Android Development] heenryy:
so pretty much if I want to update to the 27 Nov MOD I just flash it via TWRP and thats all?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Depends on what you are coming from. Here is an installation guide that will give you three scenarios to choose from and how to proceed! Let me know if you have any questions.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] heenryy:
First, thank you for your prompt response. Well I read the instructions that said if you were in cataclysm already only flash mod, opt su and opt custom kernel. However I prefer to be completely sure. I don't want any surprises :crying: I installed the cataclysm oct 20, flashed SU and I am on elemental X kernel and have TWRP as custom recovery. I'm pretty new to the nexus 6 world lol.

Other thing, does you battery life sucks? how much SOT you get? just curious

Thank you
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Hey no problems! You are on October 20th? Like that is what it says in Settings > Cataclysm > About Cataclysm? If so, that means you need to follow the first section since you are on Cataclysm the ROM which is incompatible with Cataclysm the Mod. If you are on something later than November 15th though, you can follow the third section.

I got an average of 4.5-5 hrs of SOT on this ROM. I have pretty bad cell signal though so I would not really use me as a benchmark lol.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] heenryy:
Thank you for the tip so I don't mess everything. I will follow those instructions, and i'm not trying to use you like a benchmark lol, is just that I suspect that something bad is going on since like you said you have a bad cellphone coverage and you get lets say 5 hours SOT. The problem is that most of the time my phone is in airplane mode, using WiFi and Bluetooth with my smartwatch. I only use whatsapp and sometimes other stuff. At this time I have 3 hours SOT with 40% left. Do you think that's OK in this ROM? I forgot i'm underclocked to 2.2 ghz.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] traboll:
Does anyone have the nav-bar-swap-mod zip for the latest release? I have searched and can only find for the previous ROM and MOD.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
^ I'd also like to know about that.

Also, is there a link to the stock kernel included with this mod? Just for the purpose of flashing in case I want to go from one aftermarket kernel to another.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Not sure about the nav bar swap but the boot.img is in the top level of the Mod zip. If you unzip the folder, you can copy the boot.img to another location on your device. TWRP supports flashing kernel image files so that should be all you need to jump around.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] arifqur:
Sound advice
[Nexus 6 Android Development] biglilsteve:
Thanks. So the kernel is contained within the boot.img. got it. Is there anything else in the boot.img?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Khizar:
It contains kernel and ramdisk.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ravenryan:
When making a call, does anyone else's lte go to H and stay on H for a long period of time? I usually have to hit the airplane mode for it to go back.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] rignfool:
It does that for all carriers that don't support VoLTE...

As far as not switching back... There's a myriad of reasons it would be slow to do that... You shouldn't have to toggle airplane mode...

My guess is you have data moving...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Ravenryan:
Funny thing is this has happened on all the roms ive used for the nexus 6. Lol its always H.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] HipKat:
I've never seen that
[Nexus 6 Android Development] imaverik:
Factory + cat-Nov27th

Thought I would share this. No mods just stock with cataclysm.

See attached

Perfect kernel/rom, well I guess it's more of a mod now than a rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] natemup:
I'm getting a weird bootloop-esque issue where after a a minute or two of normal function on a new boot, everything locks up and it reboots. Repeats itself non-stop. Anybody else getting this using the Cataclysm mod?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] ECrispy:
I have the Wi-Fi bug - https://code.google.com/p/android/i...Fi&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

I know it's nothing related to this Rom etc, but there are a lot of knowledgeable people here so I'm asking for any advice on things I can do.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Pajaro_Azul:
Themes for cataclysm

Hi!

I'm loving the ROM. Few to no bugs (my phone reboots itself from time to time but I haven't been able to trace the reason why)

I'd love to see themes on cataclysm or a dark mode. Would really help for night time users... I think. Anyway, kudos for the ROM. Keep on the good work!!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] nathanchance:
Marshmallow and by extension Cataclysm has native support for Layers. All you need to do is root by flashing SuperSU in TWRP and install the Layers Manager from the Play Store. Then you can shop around from some dark themes. Here are a few that I really like to help you get started: Magpie, InversionUI, and Domination. Here is a nice guide to Layers if you haven't used them before.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] NLBeev:
Layer.apk's can be extracted from the layers-app and manually made active

Layer.apk's are stored in sdcard/Overlays.

Selected layers are stored in System/vendor/overlay.

After reboot selected layers are copied to Vendor/overlay and become active.

By selecting layers only for 'Framework', 'Systemui', 'Settings', 'Velvet', 'SuperSU', the themes of the system-apps can be changed.

Because the active layers are in the system partition it can be useful to reduce the number of layers and choose to use 'small' layers.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] mangusZen:
Hey guys, one thing bother me..why the phone takes so long to reboot or shutdown? Is it just me?
