Hey folks

Stock 5X over here, wanting to install this along side Franco Kernel.

What are the steps? I read I should also flash vendor.img?

So as far as I understand:

boot into TW ->

reset\wife everything ->

flash Franco ->

flash vendor.img -> edit: seems like if my device is fully updated to last google build, there is no need.

flash Rom ->

flash GApps?

Also, will that disable the encryption?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] sandrocvrb:
If you are using the latest stock build, there is no need to flash vendor image.

- Flash latest TWRP in fastboot

- Boot into TWRP

- Wipe system, data, cache

- Flash ROM

- Flash GApps

- Flash Franco

- To get rid of encryption: go to the bootloader and format userdata using fastboot
[Nexus 5X Android Development] danielzyy:
I just unlocked my bootloader for the first time and it wiped everything, wasnt that enough for disabling the encryption?

Anyways I already finished restoring everything with the new Rom and it is buttery smooth...

I dont know what google did over there to **** their stock Android so hard.

Even my old Nexus 4 was smoother than this guy (and my 5X is 3 days old)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] sandrocvrb:
When you unlock the bootloader, the userdata partition is erased and the device reboots. Since you are still using the stock software at this point, the userdata partition will be encrypted again while booting. Even if you flash a ROM or kernel that disables forced encryption, if the userdata is encrypted, it will be kept encrypted. You need to format userdata before the first boot, and then the userdata will not be encrypted.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] donkeykong0:
I have a possible bug to report. I enabled the double tap power button to launch camera feature, however lately it started launching maps every time I tried it.

It was driving me insane until I realized I changed the lock screen swipe from corner shortcut. The default on the bottom right was camera and I changed it to maps. I switched it back to default and all is well again.

^ clean flash with stock kernel and bank gapps
[Nexus 5X Android Development] danielzyy:
You mean wipe\format\clean everything in the recovery? Cause I did that...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tom0079:
Hi guys!

i find a problem in my phone ,when i talk with people ,i will lost the data connention,

i select the autoband in phone information and LTE preferred,

what sould i do to solve the problem?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] sandrocvrb:
The only way that worked for me is to flash the ROM/kernel with forced encryption disabled, go the bootloader, type the

fastboot format userdata

command, and then boot the device.

Hi guys! I have problems with Wi-Fi. It connects to router but says that there are no internet however there are internet. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Noob question,

What is encryption and how does it effect the first flash on a stock device?

Is it anything I can do with Nexus toolkit?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] miksontije:
i have same problem first time when i try to connect phone to router. when i turn of router for a couple of minutes and then turn it on it start to work. resseting router did not help,only power off
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
I would do the same in addition to removing the network from my mobile and adding it again

---------- Post added at 02:40 ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 ----------

I would like to move from last stock to this rom,

would you suggest me the easiest "free" toolkit to use?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5X Android Development] blinkin:
Great rom, thanks a lot!

Is there any chance to include the functionality to hold power button to turn on flashlight while screen is off? I think that's the only thing that I miss from pure nexus / dirty unicorns...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mlurker:
The proximity sensor started to work 1 time out of 5 when I upgraded to the latest chroma. What can be wrong? I don't have a screen protector.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
if i want to flash update of rom and i have some layers theme installed i must uninstall it at first and than update ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] chewyblunts:
my phone just randomly lost its data connection. i am able to send/receive calls/texts but none of my apps can connect on mobile data. like it dropped in the middle of a song while i was listening to spotify. even gmail is saying it has no connection.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
New radio is included to the rom or i must flash it separately ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Must flash separately in fastboot.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Radios are independent of the ROM, I don't follow the 5X but there is a chance that it is the same radio as the prior month's radio.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
If i have some Layers theme istalled i must uninstall them first before flashing a new version of rom ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
New radio is not included.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
Many thanks for new build! No translations?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
I have forgotten to flash the new vendor on my first flash of Chroma, coming from stock...

The problem was that you have to select "image" in TWRP in order to see it. Hopefully reading my post will help someone else

I was lucky that the system booted and I was able to flash it afterwords...

Now when I boot, I read a warning message that I have to lock the bootloader again. Is there a safe way to remove that warning?

[Nexus 5X Android Development] blinkin:
Radio was updated in May release.

Btw do you accept functionality requests in any form / is there a tool for that? It's about the flashlight on power button long press.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
i have new radio image from google stock rom, but thanks :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ice711:
Do you find service is better with the new radio? If so could you link it? Thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
in my town i have always 3 or 4 dot in signal with LTE so i dont see the difference :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tom0079:
you can find the stock radio in the website .

radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.32.1.13.img is the newest radio.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] kojak1989:
i know, but im download new stock image because sometimes i do clean install ;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
I already know about battery light. 5X/6P both have the same problem.

It's going to require some additional work for the battery light to work properly. You'll just have to wait :) once it becomes available, I'll add it.

It should work.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ViRb3:
I am sorry, I thought this update was supposed to have fixed the battery light and that's why I reported. I don't think that anybody desperately needs it anyway, so take your time! :good:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
When I meant by fix, I meant the fact that Settings doesn't crash when you open the settings.

Battery light is going to require new code in order for it to work.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Dwayne01:
Now on tap force closes for me
[Nexus 5X Android Development] itzweber:
Anybody else getting DMservice stopped errors? Clearing data and rebooting doesn't seem to help :confused:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Same problem occurs on the 6P, I'll have a fix later tonight when I get home (~6PM Eastern).

Apologies for the inconvenience.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dondavis007:
Anyone that can try if the 6P camera on a 5x have burst mode? I imagine it just to hold the shutterbutton down and it will take a burst.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] AquilaDroid:
Doesn't seem to have burst mode of that's the way you operate it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dondavis007:
Typical, I was hoping libraries and app should do the trick from 6P :)

Thanks !
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jm.kloz:
I froze it in titanium backup to get rid of it. Haven't noticed any ill effects yet.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Thanks for the confirmation, kind of disappointing that the 5X community is pretty quiet right now.

yes it does.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hjjiang:
Hey to get elementalX to work with this rom, would i have to flash the CF boot img + Elemental X (enforcing off) ?? going to try it out this weekend after i get all my cables =)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] biohaz55:
No..... EX 0.05 no longer requires it, just deselect enforcing in the aroma settings when installing

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Quiet suggests everyone is happy.

DMservice doesn't affect me so can't give feedback on that otherwise all is good.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Not really people are pretty happy over the other devices and they still post.

If I post a test build and it's been past 3 hours, I expect some feedback on something that I needed to be tested.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
Coming from the latest stock release, do I need to flash MTC19T Vendor as well?

Can I also use OpenGapps, or are your gapps only recommended?

Is the battery life improved compared with the stock ROM? Thanks a lot in advance for answering :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ryder.:
What should i flash for first? Vendor or rom?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] KillerVamp09:
Flashing the latest radio image results in a no sim card issue. Flashing the last radio and the sim card reader reads again. I downloaded the newest radio several times and the result is the same.

Nope, I removed translations because it isn't worth including them as the ROM is primarily English and translations are more of an hassle since I'd have to maintain all of the translations.

Sorry, but isn't there a Crowdin page with Chroma translations? I thought this was to be added again...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ice711:
Appreciate the rapid reply and help. Last question, in twrp when I go to flash the .IMG, where should I be flashing it? Bootloader, system etc?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
You shouldn't flash it through recovery. You should flash it through bootloader via fastboot like this:

fastboot flash radio radio-bullhead-m8994f-2.6.32.1.13.img
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
You can flash it in recovery. You just need a recovery that supports flashing vendor images. Jollas recovery has both radio and vendor flashing enabled.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] elspanish88:
Is it normal to not have apps like; clock, SMS, camara, etc... I'm not complaining I like it like this, just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything that's normally part of the ROM
[Nexus 5X Android Development] wind0zer:
I'm curious as to why Chroma rom is 257 MB while the cyanogemod nightly is 437 MB. Not that it's a bad thing; I'm all for minimalistic.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] elspanish88:
I think we've answered our questions there [emoji13]
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Maxd195:
Do I need to flash bootloader and radio every month or just the vendor?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] rebretz000:
Depends on if the radio and/or bootloader is updated.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Maxd195:
So let's say they are updated, is it bad if I don't update them in the ROM?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] rebretz000:
Radio - No

Bootloader - typically no but I would recommend it.

I just download the latest stock release from Google's website and fastboot them in.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Maxd195:
Alright cool thanks man! And do you recommend this ROM over stock?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] rebretz000:
I'd run Chroma over stock.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Maxd195:
Does it get as hot as stock does?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] rebretz000:
I don't think.

Mine never feels really hot except when flashing ROMs.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Maxd195:
Oh wow I'm totally flashing chroma then. Just using Twitter warms up the phone on stock. Thanks!

Nope, I set charging led to 000000, but it's still red...

Other issue after clean flash: when phone goes to deep sleep big downloads are interrupted, even with wifi set to enabled.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Do you by chance have Aggressive Doze enabled (Greenify, Naptime)? If so, disable Aggressive Doze.

Nope, no aggressive Doze... I even tried with different browsers.

How can I tell if my device is encrypted or not?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Psychofrantics:
Settings, Security, Encryption.

If it says Encrypt Phone, you are decryypted.

If it says Encrypted, than you are encrypted.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] drugo732:
Thanks for this good rom..

But anyone have some overheating in the daily use?

I've not kernell modification or over clocking!

The phone is new i never try stock ROM, I've flashed chroma after the inbox! ;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] guacko:
Hi!

First of all thanks for the good work. I really like this rom.

I'd like to ask for some questions.

Anyone having notifications not received? I have missed some whatsapps.

Why did AudioFX was removed? I like it and if it works properly maybe I install a before version of this rom.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tom0079:
sometimes i miss whatsapp too ,it means no notifications show up

i don't know the reason ,but it just happen to me.

for now ,i will randomly open the whatsapp and checking message.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] guacko:
But I don't receive them.

Do this issue happens only in 05/04 or in all of them?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] blinkin:
Not happening to me... Clean install?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] guacko:
Yes.

Clean installed, all stock. :(

I've decrypted partition and clean flashed again.

I'll try a couple of days....we'll see.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] albysprx:
When i open camera gallery crash.... I can't take pictures... How to fix it? I have latest chroma latest banks and latest elementalx

EDIT: solved with google camera thanks anyway
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
I told before that big downloads hang then interrupts when phone goes in deep sleep, but I checked further and it's not like that: they hang when phone goes to lockscreen.:eek:

Anyone may help, plz?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] :
This might have to do with the phone turning off Wifi, or "idling" any network activity for that matter, when the phone is locked. Make sure the option to turn wifi on during sleep is "on".
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
How did you decrypt your partition?

I am running last May 5th Chroma without issues, but I didn't decrypt partitions, should I?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] guacko:
Go to Settings -> Security. If under Encrypt phone you see "Encrypted", your internal storage partition is encrypted.

To remove partition encryption go to TWRP and do a Format Data. You will lose all your data so back it up first.

Format data will remove the encryption and the phone will be f..... awesome :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
Yes, just checked. And it happens as I lock the phone, even with screen on
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
It shows "encrypted"

I understand to use TWRP to do it, but what should I backup before doing so?

Could you tell me if any additional steps are required?

Before flashing this ROM up, I did wipe system, data and the 2 caches, so how could it be still encrypted?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
You need to FORMAT data, NOT wipe it!

You can do that in TWRP, on wipe menu, there are 3 options, 1 to swipe to factory reset, 2 to advanced wipe and 3 to format data. Choose the 3rd
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Thanks!

Now I understand they are 2 different things!

What will I loose? Is it like when you do a clean flash, like reinstalling everything back?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
You will lose everything that is in /data/... , including INTERNAL STORAGE, apps, app data etc..

So make sure you backup everything in advance!

If you wanna start clean then format data, and then from advanced wipe, wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache. And you 're good to go flashing again :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
Okay, I will probably do that when new version comes out ! :victory:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] miksontije:
format data, and afther couple of restart phone will still be decrypted?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Saad Ali:
I'm a noob. Getting error google play services has stopped working. Flashed the Chroma and Gapps together, then tried flashing both seperately as well. Allowed all the permissions too. What should I do?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] agentdr8:
I was getting that too when using Gmail. I ended up wiping data and reflashed the latest gapps. Now I'm restoring with TiBu. Hopefully that'll fix it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Saad Ali:
I didn't even had gapps except for the playstore. No camera etc. Will try to flash Open Gapps.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mlurker:
Is there any way to backup all rom settings (i.e. sound, accounts, security etc.)? (I'm not asking about nandroid backup of system partition). So that next time I can install a fresh rom and apply settings from a backup?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] RashidD:
Hi guys,

Thanks for a great rom... Has anyone noticed a drop in camera quality from the stock rom?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] khanjui:
No, it's Nexus device. Don't confuse with others.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Titanium backup. Buy it. It can save your life
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ice711:
Did you ever find a fix for this? I too have a similar problem. When using hotspot, the speed will drastically lower when the phone goes to sleep... Any ideas anyone?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mlurker:
I have it. backup all system data?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
You can do that, but then why would you clean flash a ROM? Makes no sense..
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
No, and I didn't find a cause: I tried with different browsers, with wifi and with 4G, with different kernels, with secure and unsecure lockscreen; I don't think it's doze, as the problem occurs with phone in my pocket (so moving).

I clean flashed, no changes.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ghost9867:
he guys can i know how this rom run ?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
Yes you can! Try it out;)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mlurker:
Well, how Titanium Backup helps me backup all ROM settings then? that was my question.

Let's say I want to flash a clean ROM (chroma) and then restore all settings that I had before (on my old chroma). I don't want to make nandroid backup and then restore it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jonathan_m84:
You can backup everything and restore after flashing indeed. You'll have everything back as before.

I was just saying that it doesnt make sense if you do it, you can just flash dirty then, has the same effect as backking uo eveything and then restore..
[Nexus 5X Android Development] superalphajellybean:
Installed the rom yesterday but I can't make or receive calls. Phone rings but nothing shows up
[Nexus 5X Android Development] khanjui:
Go to Settings/Apps/Advanced then select the default phone app. Probably you got Google Dialer and AOSP one.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Buddlespit:
What makes decrypting the phone awesome?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] *system error*:
Just do it and see the lag everyone complains about disappear.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Buddlespit:
Luckily, I don't appear to have any lag on my 5X. But, even if I did have lag, it would have to be pretty bad for me to trade privacy and security for performance. I would probably have to get a different phone if that were the case. It's bad enough that I have to root the phone to get rid of ads.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] phaleg:
I forgot to ask, will I lose the zip files that I need to flash?

(Assuming I am saving them in /00 FLASH folder )
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tassos_chry:
I don't understand where you're saying you save them, but if it's a subdirectory of internal storage, yes you will lose them
