If you use "Dark" theme in Settings > Display, change it back to Light before flashing new build as you will have problems. Forgot to? Dirty flash old build, change it then reflash new build.

SuperSU disappearing on dirty flash? Just flash SuperSU in recovery.

MHC19J Vendor Files (Flash in TWRP 3.0.0.0+, bootloader/radio must be flashed in fastboot, or find flashable radio zip): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=52047

If you get the a popup saying you have outdated vendor files, flash vendor.img in the Vendor files link above)

Radio and bootloader are optional. The ROM works fine without the latest vendor but I highly recommend to update to the latest vendor so the popup won't appear anymore.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Ryder.:
which partition should i select to flash radio img and bootloader img?

EDIT. Can't flash these using TWRP. It needs fastboot to flash them.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AstroBoy89:
Day and night mode was removed.....why? I always use the dark theme and I bet a ton of others do too. Was something new introduced in the factory images that is forcing you to remove it?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
Deleted
[Nexus 5X Android Development] AstroBoy89:
Unfortunately I think it was removed. It was under display in settings. The option was Theme.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
Remember to set the theme to light before flashinng new ROM and vendor, or settings menu will become unreadable
[Nexus 5X Android Development] stu5797:
Shoot.. Looks like android pay is officially dead :(

But seriously! Thanks so much Zephik for everything! I also loved the dark settings theme.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bryanlimy:
I flash the lastest vendor, bootloader and radio through fastboot, and now I go into TWRP, it kept asking for password. I tried "default_password" and it doesn't work, I have never set a password. And now I am unable to flash the lastest build. Does anyone have any solution?

I think its the new MHC19J problem?

Bootloader and radio are optional. So no do you don't have to :good:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bryanlimy:
yeah then I try sideload the zip files and it doesn't work
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tpayne2345:
Same. I suppose you could dirty flash an old build and turn it off but I just said eff it and did a clean flash.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] stu5797:
I hit the back button but I had a USB otg plugged in
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
It was removed since the last build.

If you want dark mode then just use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bitsykolayers.InversionFree&hl=en

Pretty much same thing.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] shane1981:
I lost root somehow but found a 2.65 flashable zip and got it back . don't know why but something to look into
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
I'll change it to a different setup configuration that should remedy the problem (although I can't reproduce it) in the next build.

So it won't be a problem next build.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
Are they worth doing? How would I do them if so?

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

The vendor image is an .IMG file. Can this be flashed in TWRP? I've never flashed anything but a .zip file in TWRP.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Vendor: Yes you can flash in TWRP (3.0.0.0+)

Bootloader/Radio: Fastboot... there is a chance that someone made a flashable zip of radio, so you just need to find it. There are guides online that tells you how fastboot works, search for those and you can update your bootloader from there.

If you don't want to update them, then don't as it won't be a dealbreaker.. it's optional :)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
I've used fastboot so that's OK. Ill update them at some point maybe. Had no idea about the vendor.img in TWRP without being in a .zip though. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

When flashing the vendor image, which do I flash it to? I forget the 2 options (recovery and boot maybe)?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:

Ironically, Capital One Wallet is now working for me, it used to complain on older chroma builds.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] brismuth:
Scrolling and other animations seem snappier to me. It's hard to tell whether it's just a placebo effect or not without doing a side by side comparison though. This build does include the March patch though, which (according to Google) is supposed to resolve the lag issues on the 5x.

anyone have any luck finding flashable radio zip for the new radio? I can't seem to find anything and I'm away from my PC.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
Only been able to find the img files myself.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jacquestrapp:
FYI, TWRP version 3 or higher can flash .img files directly, that's why you can't find flashable ZIPs of the newest radio, etc. I suppose someone may make ZIPs of them but on TWRP 3 you don't need them, just flash the IMGs directly. This also means you can pull the IMG files directly from the Google factory images if you like.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gpvecchi:
I would like to thank zephiK for this great ROM; personally I don't agree with the remove of dark theme, but it's his ROM and he left the possibility to install layers themes...

I noticed that many translations are 100% complete, will them be merged soon?

Question: if I would like to flash a clean vendor.img to remove the layers, do I need something spaecial to do? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jm.kloz:
Is anyone else finding that ambient display isn't working? Also, doze doesn't seem to be as aggressive in battery saving. On stock it would only go down 1-5%, whereas in going down about 10% on this ROM.

As always, thanks for your work on this ROM!

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] - Would your sound "fix" in the next release include support for fauxsound?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Huh? I provide the stock kernel with N5X. I have no plans on trying to change the kernel.

Also, I'll be compiling a bullhead build in a little bit with the new proprietary binaries. It should address any problems you guys are having. I don't have the device so it's up to you guys to report back.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] zephiK:
Yup, for N5X and N6P.. layers remain on each dirty flash / install because N5X/N6P has its own separate vendor partition which doesn't get wiped.

Were you by chance able to test VoLTE?

Are you able to flash the radio img in TWRP? It was my understanding that you need to either flash a zip file or do it through fastboot for the radio/ bootloader img files.

I know you can flash the vendor img, but wasn't aware you could do it for the radio and bootloader.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:
I did them via fastboot.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] qwerty123321:
So I clean flashed this rom, I also flashed bootloader img via TWRP 3.. Now my phone upon reboot, goes to bootloader screen, when I click on start, the phone freezes.

I am able to get int TWRP however it asks me for a password. WIthout the password i cant access internal storage.. Does anyone know what to do in this case?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] tsuchiro:
Fix my issue. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
The bootloader.img cannot be flashed in TWRP. So, are you sure you did that?

TWRP 3.0.0.1 is supposed to resolve the password issue for encrypted users.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] qwerty123321:
Yep, it looks like I messed up by flashing bootloader via TWRP.

I ended up factory formatting via TWRP and lost all my data on my phone in the process. I managed to get the phone booting again though. here's a warning to others not to make the same mistake I did.

To be safe always use FASTBOOT to flash img files Do NOT rely on TWRP or Flashify
[Nexus 5X Android Development] werdnoynek:
Yep. I didn't think that was right. Fastboot is pretty easy, look for Heisenbergs guide. Glad I didn't try it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] m_p11:
flash all img , radio, vendor, etc with Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit :)

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Seanbest:

fastboot flash radio XXX
[Nexus 5X Android Development] werdnoynek:
This is what I did too. Works well, I however was trying to do it at work where I couldn't use Wug's or Fastboot so I was looking for the zip yesterday.

Nope. "Force encrypt" is disabled in the kernel.

Hi , I come from the stock rom , I just installed the rom followed by gapps making wipes , and when I turn the phone I have very few applications google , mainly the camera application does not appear , I know this very minimized the application package of google , interested me more than anything the camera, this is due to installation problem ? or wipes or what order i should follow for a good installation rom with the camera application ...

1. factory reset , then wipe Advanced tab , cache , data , system and dalvik??? , this does not eliminate the internal memory of the phone? I hope and can help me , I was looking and reading but can not find the right way to install the rom , I had to return to the stock ...

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Jacquestrapp:
Sorry, you are quite right and I was wrong, I hadn't actually done the flashing yet when I wrote that. I did flash the bootloader and vendor IMGs from MHC19J just now using TWRP 3.0.0.1, the bootloader flash *appeared* to go fine, it didn't screw anything up for me but it looks like it didn't actually do anything either, it's still at version BHZ10k (the new version is BHZ10m). And there is no option in TWRP to flash the radio at all.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mchstream:
I am still very used to the Nexus 5, which still love, but the nexus 5x buttons still kind of get me down till I use it daily and I pray finally get used to the change. Till then is there a setting I missed that will turn off the volume keys while it is locked? Thank you ahead of time. I am liking the phone and rom very much. Thank you for the hard word in your build and keeping the security updates current. Thank you very much

Peace.

i just updated twrp to the lastest as well as radio, bootloader and vendor. on the lastest chroma and i cannot restore an overlay backup that i have created. nor am i able to install an overlay for my softkeys when no other overlay is installed. does anyone know the cause for this. i am coming off a fresh install.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] drocny87:
Strange Issue..

I have restored a backup from twrp and on my initial startup you have to put your PIN in order to access the device (fingerprint setup). the device says I am putting the wrong pin in and now I cant access my phone, the only thing i could do is a fresh install.

does anyone have an idea why this would happen and if there is a way to bypass this issue.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
Contacts, Dialer, Play Store, calculator, and Audio FX. Everything else has to be downloaded from the Play Store. Google Camera, for me, is not showing up in the US Play Store so I had to get the apk from APK Mirror.
