Sorry for being a nuisance, Should I flash 2.66 first, Then delete Xbin bind? I only ask, Because I booted into recovery and used twrp file manager and could not find xbin_bind
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah you need to flash SuperSU 2.66 first, since that is what is going to introduce xbin_bind. I don't know if you can delete it in the TWRP file manager or not.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
Id/led cabinet, will I be able to do it through that?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Any root explorer that works properly should allow you to do it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
Ok Great. I will try it now. Any way I can donate to you for the help?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pickandwhammy:
Where is the thread for N5X SuperSU/CF-Root? I can't seem to find anything.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
I appreciate the gesture haha but I am just paraphrasing the work that [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] has done. Go give him a few bucks for all that he has done (believe he has a PayPal link in his sig).

I don't believe that there is one. There is Chainfire's WIP thread for updates and the SuperSU beta thread for discussion.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
AP is up and running on 2.66. Thanks for your help!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] darkgandhi05:
I don't see a /su folder in my root. Any thoughts? You rock for patiently giving all this help.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Check SuperSU > Settings > Install SuperSU into /system, what is the text right below the name of that setting? What version of SuperSU are you on?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] darkgandhi05:
"SuperSU is already a system app"

SuperSU v2.66

Guessing it wasn't installed systemless. I didn't really know what was required to do that. I just followed ROM instructions and it worked while I was on the December build so didn't question it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
SuperSU 2.66 installs itself into /system if it is able to (which it can on this ROM). You have to force it to be systemless. Follow this process:

a. Delete /data/.supersu (if it exists).

b. Go into SuperSU > Settings and do a full unroot.

c. Boot into recovery and navigate to Advanced > Terminal Command.

d. Select the current folder (should be root or / by default) in the lower righthand corner.

e. Type the two lines below (one at a time):

echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu
echo BINDSYSTEMXBIN=false>>/data/.supersu

The first one forces systemless, the second prevents /su/xbin_bind from existing.

f. Flash SuperSU 2.64+.

g. Reboot and attempt to setup Android Pay.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pickandwhammy:
I installed 2.66 over systemless 2.65 (without the SU env variables), and I'm still on systemless root.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
That is expected, all subsequent SuperSU updates will stick with whatever method you chose. However, when installing fresh, you must specify systemless installation using those those terminal commands.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tpayne2345:
This might be a weird question, but is the emoji set used in Chroma different from the default google emojis? or how does it work?

I've been using the latest Swiftkey Beta with the new Marshmallow emojis but yesterday they changed to emojione which look terrible. Posted on the swiftkey forums and it looks like they'll point to Chroma as the culprit. Using a switcher app works but I lose the new ones :/
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, see the changelog, the latest Chroma build introduced EmojiOne as the default emojis.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tpayne2345:
Yep, was about to edit my post.. somehow missed that the first time I read over it

ugh, the switcher app is only updated to Lollipop, so the new ones don't show up

If you want the error message to stop appearing, then yeah.

Can I just flash this in recovery and thats it? Do I need to do any wiping of any kind?

Vendor Image 29T

Sorry if this is a dumb question but where can I find the 29T vendor image? I only see 29P on Google factory images page.

Thanks,

[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
The 29P vendor image is the one you need, reason being that the proprietary files and drivers are from 29P. The only reason the build number is 29T is because it is built from AOSP branch 6.0.1_r10.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
I assume just follow step 3 and thats it? This will not wipe anything correct? I'm currently running 2.66, but should I still flash both su files?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Follow my guide that is linked at the bottom of the post, I have a dirty flash section in there.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
Also, what is this vendor Image I'm reading about? I never flashed it when I originally set up chroma on my 5x.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
The vendor.img contains a bunch of proprietary files, binaries and drivers that make your phone run. You need to flash it every new build number otherwise certain features may not work (like the camera for example). If you don't get an error message every reboot, you don't need it. I have talked about it in this thread before, a quick search should have found the answer in this thread or at least in the other threads I have been in.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mhrussell1:
There is a link to a flashable version at the top of the post I referenced. It is titled Bullhead_MMB29P_Vendor.zip

Nexus 5x running Chroma ROM and Franco kernel
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
I noticed you're using Franco kernel. When I update to latest chroma, how can I include that kernel?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mhrussell1:
Download FK from thread:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/wip-franco-kernel-r6-t3286128

I use the zip file. Then the order I use is:

Flash ROM

Flash Vendor zip file

Flash Kernel zip

Flash UPDATE-unSU.zip

Flash Beta-SuperSU-v2.66 zip

Reboot (without TWRP install SU)

I think nathanchance indicated a different order for the unSU, Kernel and SU flashing. He may correct this if I am wrong.

Mark
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
Everything went smoothly, Except every time I reboot I get an error saying vendor is out of date and to flash new version? an someone link me to the right one, Maybe I flashed the wrong one.

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Should have flashed the one from the second post, this one
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
Yep, I must have grabbed the wrong one. Definitely a different file number. I believe it was 808 or something or other.

Can I just flash this alone in recovery and be all set?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] J.Guido85:
When doing a back up through TWRP for Chroma, Should i select just system + Data or should i be selecting Vendor and other options?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
System, data, and boot are the core. The others are optional.

Issue with Google app and latest version: search bar in recent is missing, even if enabled.

OK Google everywhere is not available, it says to switch to advanced voice in language input, but there is no such option.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Both of those features you mentioned works flawlessly across the three devices that I test the ROM on.

Ensure yourself that you're using BaNkS GApps and not using any other GApps package.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Same here, no problems on both items. Great release again zephiK!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] thrutheeyes:
Any way for double tape screen to wake up?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
I've rooted my phone and am using TWRP as my recovery and left the data partition encrypted (have to for work) and I'm wondering if this will flash and work properly? TIA
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
OK, I managed to recreate the issues; I set Greenify beta to deep sleep when keeping pressed home button (instead of Google App). This breaks the OK Google Everywhere function, giving the error message I said before.

The same for the other issue. Just disable this function and reboot. If you have the big bar instead of the new circle one, disable and then re-enable it in Chroma settings.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pickandwhammy:
Yeah it will. Unless you format data it retains encryption.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
I'm coming from the stock Nexus image rooted. I've tried wiping all partitions except data (to keep encryption), but all my apps are still there after it reboots and several of them continue to crash and make it unusable. What am I doing wrong? TIA
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Just wiping data doesn't decrypt you, you have to format it. And you have to wipe data when coming from something other than Chroma, that is part of a clean install. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache then flash ROM + recommended GApps. You will remain encrypted or decrypted, whichever you were before you flash.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
I'll give it a try. Thanks.

Any idea why after updating to MMB29P and rooting with SU beta 2.66 I can't edit the build.prop anymore. I can't seem to get R/W access on the /system folder in any root explorer I try. Anyone else having this issue and found a workaround? I want to edit the build.prop so I can tether and enable EIS again.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Character Zero:
I am able to mount r/w. Did you follow the instructions for creating the .su file?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] rekd0514:
Which instructions specifically? Can you point me to them?

I didn't do anything different rooting as systemless than I did before that I know of.

I did try this again with no luck. Android Pay is working.

1. Boot into TWRP and make a backup (optional but recommended).

2. Go into Advanced > Terminal Command > Select button in corner. Type "echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu" without the quotes.

3. Flash UnSU (removes SuperSU from the system partition).

4. Flash SuperSU 2.65.

5. Reboot into system.

6. Delete /su/xbin_bind via a root explorer.

7. Reboot.

8. Set up Android Pay.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Character Zero:
Try the ones linked on the download post - Android Pay instructions. I know you said Android Pay works, but there is another step in there you did not have in your steps.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
After running stock rooted for 2 months, I noticed your recent Chroma update and decided to hop aboard. I'm enjoying this rom after a days use. I like the stripped down approach coupled with a few tweaks like advanced reboot menu and such. So far so good with decrypted 5X and ElementalX installed. Thank you for supporting our Nexus.

Per this post, this user showed their dimmed nav bar was misaligned. However, I have read every page in this thread and do not see how to manually set the nav bar to auto-dim after inactivity. I also do not see it in Settings/Chroma/navbar, nor in the changelog. Am I misinterpreting how they achieved this in their post? :confused:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nnssxx:
Hello and thank you for a very nice ROM!

Two things:

- The AOSP SMS app should be installed by default, because people with 2-step authentification won't be able to sign to their Google account without.

- I noticed SuperSU is still v2.52, any chance for the latest v2.67+ for next builds?

Thank you!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
1. I have been able to sign into my account with 2-step verification on this ROM and others that don't include an SMS app by default just fine. As soon as the phone boots up, just go into the Play Store and download Messenger if you want an SMS app right away.

2. He has said a few times that 2.52 is more stable than 2.67 so there is no reason to change it. Not to mention there are no changes to the system root side of 2.67 over 2.52. If you want to update, just flash 2.67 over 2.52.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nnssxx:
1/ but I can't go to the Play Store without being signed on a Google account... which needs a confirmation SMS :p

2/ the main reason for SuperSU 2.67+ is when flashing a new Chroma build you don't have to use terminal/unSU/etc. maybe i'm lazy :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
1. I know, I'm saying that it does it automatically and it doesn't need an SMS app installed when you do it through the Setup Wizard. I used Banks GApps on both this ROM and Pure Nexus (neither have an SMS app installed by default) and I have always been able to sign into my account.

2. You only need to do terminal commands once per clean flash, as the file is stored in the data partition. As long as you don't wipe /data, you only need to flash UnSU then the new SuperSU.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nnssxx:
1/ that's weird, last time I did a clean install I was waiting for the "G-..." SMS forever. I use the OpenGApps (pico) so, no SMS app either. I'll check again next time I format my N5X.

2/ oooh I see! I was sure this was for dirty flashing too, thanks :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] OrbitGum22:
Does this rom have CM's LiveDisplay?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
On the latest Chroma with a full wipe, when i set the lockscreen image it doesnt get through. Any ideas why not?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
You on a custom kernel?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
RunningFrancos Kernel, yes. But i wouldnt now why setting a lockscreen and running a custom kernel impact each other?

Edit; just dida dirty install without francos kernel and now it works again... Known issue i assume?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Franco Kernel overwrites the SELinux rules that allow those features to work. That should be fixed with his next update as he is switching to an AnyKernel format, which keeps all of the rules and information of the stock kernel intact.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Awesome, thanks for the reply!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] OrbitGum22:
Does this rom have LiveDisplay?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
No it does not if you are referring to this: https://m.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2zhug5/livedisplay_is_now_in_cm_12_inrom_implementation/

I don't see it in Settings/Display nor Chroma settings. I had to search to see what that is.

---------- Post added at 02:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

I did some further looking around and found "Expanded Desktop" (in this rom) is what I am looking for! I thought this had something to do with reproducing Tablet mode so I initially glossed over this. I can now hide the nav bar on a per app basis.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] N1_Fan:
Have you tried cf lumen?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aamir123:
I am having a problem when upgrading kernel, changing kernel or even updating rom. I get multiple force closes of what seems like system apps. I have tried to update kernel a few methods.

1. flash kernel, flash systemless su, even fix permissions and wipe cache don't fix this.

2. dirty flash system, flash kernel, flash systemless su still not fixed.

I'm not sure what to do. I have to do multiple clean flashes lately due to this issue. Also flashing gapps does not fix either.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mhrussell1:
Are you following the OP exactly. I think the developer specifically mentions flashing UPDATE-unSU.zip. THis post lists the steps I use to flash.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64875656&postcount=895

Make sure you are skipping the SU install in TWRP.

Running light on smooth on my N5X. Really stable on this early stage.

I guess charging LED is a kernel issue? I've read in this thread something about that. Do I need to flash a costum kernel or are there plans to make this work in the future? Its quite a nice feature.

Anyway, first time using this ROM since my first Android and I really like it. Donation in the end of this month.

No. Try using lux as an alternative.

I flashed Ex Kernel with this rom and charging LED has been working fine for me. Mine turns red as soon as it starts charging. Have you enabled it in Settings/Sound & Notification/Battery Light?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aamir123:
Yes, sorry if I missed putting that in there,I flash unSU then systemless root. But this only happens on dirty flash update or changing kernel.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] *system error*:
Are you wiping system at all? Are you flashing kernel on top of other custom kernel? Are you using banks gapps?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
What kernel are you trying to flash?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] *system error*:
At this point I would clean flash your ROM (I know) yet again. Omit the kernel in the instructions. Boot up successful. Make sure your root is good. AP and what not. Then boot back into recovery and flash your kernel.

What "system" apps are FCing?

You have to be doing something that's causing this behavior. This ROM is rock solid. Systemless or system root. Or any custom kernel. Remember to reflash the ROM zip between going from kernel to a different kernel. Just relaying flar2's warning.

Good luck my friend
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aamir123:
I've been going between elementalx, franco, and jolla.

The rom has been solid for me as well, that is not the problem. And clean flashing the rom gives great results.

when flashing a kernel after clean flash I follow > wipe system, factory reset, flash rom, flash gapps, unsu, kernel, systemless su, boot and setup.

When changing kernels I follow > flash rom (dirty flash), un su, flash new kernel, flash systemless root, reboot

I have tried adding gapps to changing kernel method without fix. Also when updating kernel I have also tried dirty flashing kernel then systemless root without fix. I flash su again because the script mods the boot.img.

system apps that are f'cing = system.apk (cant access settings), play services errors, messaging storage error, and some other ones less frequently.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] martyfried:
If you have a desktop/laptop/alternate device available, you can sign in to your Google account and temporarily change settings or add another number or possibly disable the sms verification. I use the two-step verification, and they have a half dozen emergency codes to use, no sms required. The codes are available from your account, or you can make a (gasp) hardcopy list. Each code can be used once. I find this method to be pretty useful.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] terrawatt:
Yes,

Its enabled.:)

Good to know its working with another kernel.

Edit:

Just flashed ElementalX. LED and other features works perfect.

Chroma+EX is a great combo.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] *system error*:
So clean flash works great? Try this, Dont flash kernel in that process. Get a successful clean flash boot. Reboot and flash kernel only no wipes or unsu or reflashing SuperSU.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] aamir123:
That's what I am saying the problem definitely isn't the rom (I'm very sure), but after flashing rom and custom kernel the first time there are no problems. I'm good.

The problem comes when I either try to update kernel (franco R2 > R3 for example) or change the kernel (franco > elemental).
[Nexus 5X Android Development] terrawatt:
Don't dev of ElementalX recommend not to flash over another Kernel that comes with your ROM

Source: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/orig-development/kernel-elementalx-n5x-t3240537

"For maximum compatibility with all ROMs, ElementalX uses your existing ramdisk.

Do NOT flash this over other custom kernels!

You should only flash ElementalX over the kernel that came with your ROM!!!"

I also noted this info

"Use*SuperSU 2.66*or later for rooting stock ROM.* Flash SuperSU BEFORE flashing ElementalX.". Source : http://elementalx.org/devices/nexus-5x/

I flashed this Kernel over Chroma and did not flash another Kernel before. All works fine and I still have root.

If I where you I would backup all important data, and start from scratch. Un root, root with the latest SU, flash Chroma and then EX.

Maybe there is a lighter solution but the heavy artillery always works:)

Newb Questions

Hi all, planning on installing this later tonight. Have a couple of questions about this rom. As im actually happy with my nexus 5x except that somethings it gets so incredibly slow i have to wipe cache, etc. Looking for something snappy with good battery performance. Is this good as a daily? (i did see it said it was stable) Is there any important functions not currently working?

I'm sorry if this have been answered before, tried to look and didn't see.

thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] pickandwhammy:
If your phone gets slow, and wiping cache speeds it up, there's probably something wrong with your flash memory.

Chroma is as good a daily driver as it gets. It's better than stock, in my opinion.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ErikEduardo:
Can something like that happen from factory? My phone is currently stock and haven't flashed or installed anything custom. The bootloader is even locked.
