Anyone have layers working on the latest beta? It was working on the 12/14 build but for some reason I no longer have the vendor/overlays folder and even though the layers say they installed, nothing changes.

*EDIT*

Fixed the issue, it was systemless root, tried 2.62 and 2.64 with no success, unrooted then flashed 2.52; everything is working as it should.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] xda890:
It's still the same as a custom ROM, it's only the distribution and installation that is different...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gorilla p:
This is awesome. Only ROM I can get AP working with. I can use AdAway, edit build.prop, adjust kernel settings, etc and AP still working.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gorilla p:
Can anyone confirm that they are able to use a custom kernel without breaking AP?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dorqus:
Yes I am using elementalX 1.0.4 with SuperSU 2.61 and AP works
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
AP is not dependent on either the rom or the kennel. It rests solely on root and system mods. Any rom unrooted or with systemless root will work.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
That is just not true, go look at the Pure Nexus thread lol. The only reason it works on this ROM is because it is based on the factory images so SafetyNet believes it is fully stock. AOSP ROMs do not (or should not) work (except Chroma on this device and the 6P but nobody knows why that is).
[Nexus 5X Android Development] wingman358:
OK thanks for taking the time to answer!

PS I really like the mod method of flashing.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Gpl81:
Does anyone with cataclysm managed to have OTG working? I don't know if it's an issue with the ROM or if the adapters from usbC to microB are both faulty (they work for charging and data exchange via usb). I don't use it a lot, but having an old otg drive it would be really helpful and spending money to buy the original adapter without knowing if it will work is probably not the case.

Any feedback will be appreciated.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
It works for me. More detail later.

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

It doesn't work on PureN because it's pre rooted with system root. Remove root and AP should work. I'm going to confirm this later, too early right now.

Edit: Still can't confirm yet but I do recall having it work on Ubermallow with Despair kernel unrooted. That is AOSP based too. Once rooted with systemless root, if you're using 2.62-3 you absolutely need to follow the instructions about deleting the system fine under su. Can't recall which right now since it's gone but you can find it in the Chainfire thread.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gorilla p:
I agree, I have tried Dirty Unicorns, Chroma, PureNexus and this ROM. This is the only one I've got to work with PA, using the same steps every time and flashing UnSu after ROM, then flashing systemless.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] caifaz:
Still waiting for details! thanks in advance, I have the same exact issue posted above, the adaptor works with my computer but USB is not mounted on the device.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
Well then I stand corrected. Have you unrooted DU, Chroma and PN and tried again? I see that even Chroma will not support AP any longer, although some still seem to have it working if I read it correctly at like 5 something am. lol If the rom does not modify the system I don't see how AP will not work. Don't all the above roms install system root?

Nonetheless I think we are digressing. The original question is if EX kernel would break AP and the short answer is no. The "kernel" has nothing to do with Android Pay.

Sorry just got to my computer. So [MENTION=4108583]Gpl81[/MENTION] too. I got the Google cable Usb c to usb A and plugged my OTG cable in and it worked. I got the cable from Radio Shack about a year ago for my N5. I installed Stick Mount Pro, bought it back then too, and it just came up and mounted. Root was required. Are you rooted and have you tried it with Stick Mount by Chainfire?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
Yep, google cable only thing that worked for me.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Gpl81:
no luck with stickmount either... I guess it's the adapter that somehow, don't ask me why, doesn't support OTG even if it was advertised.

Many people in Europe celebrate Christmas tomorrow on the 24th December, so I would like to wish all Cataclysm users a very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
Thanks and also taking this opportunity to wish aswell a merry Christmas to you all if you celebrate and a great new year!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
Merry Christmas everyone!

I know this is probably not the right section and I'm sorry for that, but I just got my N5X and I wanna make sure I'm doing everything right and I know you're all awesome, intelligent people here so I figured I would ask here... I did set up adb debugging and allowed oem unlock in 6.0.1 then I did adb reboot bootloader then fastboot oem lock then fastboot flash twrp.img then booted into TWRP, clicked cancel when it asked for a boot password since I did not set one, then I clicked wipe then format data, then rebooted to recovery, then I did wipe then wiped everything with all checkboxes selected, then I rebooted to recovery again, then I installed Cataclysm full and Cataclysm Mod then ElementalX. However, what I am wondering is, do I have encryption enabled or disabled from all the steps I did, and if I have it disabled, would I be able to flash back to stock (6.0.1) again or would I have to re-enable encryption to be able to flash back to stock (6.0.1) again if I ever needed to (and I did manage to disable encryption, of course)?

Thanks everyone, have a happy and safe Christmas, and have a happy and safe new year!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
Hey there, grats on new device.

not really sure about twrp cause i flashed userdata with fastboot instead to get rid of encryption.

For your second question, yes you can reflash stock at any time regardless of encryption.

You can check if encrypted by looking inside settings - security encryption.

Remember to flash vendor.img with fastboot aswell as it's usually not included inside roms.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
Hey,

Thanks for such an amazingly fast response. What do you mean by flash vendor.img? I updated to 6.0.1 OTA before installing TWRP and then Cataclysm etc, and Cataclysm seems to boot just fine so I assume that means I don't need to flash vendor.img? Also, I'm pretty sure when flashing back to stock (6.0.1), vendor.img is automatically flashed from flash-all.bat. I believe my encryption is disabled on my device and I am good to go now!

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
Ah yep, if you were already on 6.0.1 you're good to go, missed the ota update step

I usually don't give the time to the ota to even be notified since i usually flash the updated factory image right away so assumed you did the same and flashed just twrp and cataclysm+kernel.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gorilla p:
I really like that cataclysm splash screen replacement. The lock your bootloader message was obnoxious
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mpetruzz:
I read through the changelog and didn't see if this ROM has Layers support or the CM theme manager. Can anyone speak to that? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] szucsgf:
Yes it has layers support. Stock ROM has layers support too.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mpetruzz:
Thanks. I'm running the latest pure nexus ROM and am wondering if there is a big enough difference to switch
[Nexus 5X Android Development] andresee:
As with any Rom you have to look at what options it gives. Cata is stable and has a lot of options. Some are the same as Pure and some aren't. One thing for sure [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] is a great Dev and always there to help. With the way he does the Mod it allows you to go back to stock with out wiping data. So you can just flash the new image from Google and wait a little and flash the updated mod and you don't have to restore data.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
I might be an idiot (quite likely - I'm pretty drunk right now) but I don't see a Cataclysm splash screen replacement, only the bootloader lock message? How do I get the Cataclysm splash screen replacement? I'm on Cataclysm Beta 12-21 with ElementalX 1.04.

mayve you don't accept requests or suggestions, but I think it would be useful to disable the fingerprint scanner when the phone has the proximity sensor to close in order not to unlock the phone putting it in your pocket.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
First rule for posting to XDA dev threads: No Requests!

Here are some requests, ordered per (my) priority.

:)
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
I'm not sure when this "i don't accept requests" started but i really rely on them, on suggestions and hints.

Cataclysm is great and different from most of other projects cause i actually develop it and you have a "direct line" with his creator unlike most other project that relies on cyanogen code so they can't fix a bug or implement new ideas on their own until CM does, good luck requesting an original feature there.

Many of the Cataclysm features have been done in some way due to great users suggestions, i couldn't have pulled this alone.

Many features may seems equal to other projects but there are lot of subtlety differences that makes them different in a good way.

Also every original feature has been created, perfected and improved thanks to user suggestions, requests.

Of course i don't add every request and carefully evaluate them cause a feature may seems good on paper but if you think it with a developer mind then it may be not so good, and that's my job, mine alone.

The only thing i don't like is when people keep requesting a feature i clearly stated i don't want to include.

About your suggestion, without entering into details, it would kill your battery so that's not possible to achieve.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
I think it is because there are some other threads where developers are pretty hostile towards requests, as it is a ROM they have either made for themselves or they don't want unnecessary bloat or something. That probably comes from the developers relying on other code like CM for certain features and don't want to do work themselves, who knows, don't want to stereotype or look down upon others. I think it is really great that you are responsive to requests, it makes being here and helping out much more enjoyable.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
think how amazing the scene would be if every developer would actually develop their own ideas, we would have dozens of original and cool features instead of carbon copies.

Battery announce and disable vibration for imprint or force data over usb were suggestions made one/two weeks ago and i found them cool so i made them.

So yep i like to listen to my users

There's an aggressive doze and deep hibernation (requires xposed) in Greenify that gave me some issues with time. Killed my alarm clock apps, and its probably what gave me that issue for a while.

i listen music with bluetooth speaker and music glitch, is normal in this rom?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] skttrbrain:
Sorry to mention it again atl4ntis but I'm still sometimes getting the collapsed status bar when I unlock. If I lock again then unlock then it goes away, but it's just irritating. I've tried all different combinations of disabling and enabling settings in Cataclysm and it happens on all of them. I still cannot find a way of directly replicating it. I'm not using any additional system edits or anything like that. I attached an image of the state it's in when it happens, just for clarity's sake.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
Dunno about your issue, but may I ask what you are using to display date, time in the upper left?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dfryer1193:
That's part of the notification shade in M. When the shade is expanded, the date and time are shown i n the top left corner.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
That's an MM issue, will see if i can fix it, not prio though.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hopesrequiem:
This might be a question that's silly but I didnt see it mentioned in the OP. It says flash ROM, then the mod. Do we still flash gaaps of our choice too? I feel like the answer is yes but I haven't run this ROM yet
[Nexus 5X Android Development] HiM@L:
no...u dont need to flash gapps coz cata-mod is flashed over stock rom.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hopesrequiem:
I am going through the installer now and I see the Gaaps are already built in. Thanks. Rom installing now, then flashing the stable mod. Will report back as this thing looks awesome from what I've read.

So far I am really liking the options. Only other rom besides purenexus that I've kept on here longer than 10 min lol
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mpetruzz:
I'm running pure nexus now but have to flash something to get my fix haha. What would the install process be? Would it be better to restore fresh and install over stock MM?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hopesrequiem:
Download his rom in addition to his mod. The rom he gives us has the aroma installer so you can slim it down yourself. And it has the necessary gaaps in it already.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mpetruzz:
So I do a full wipe etc, flash the DEC 8 stable zip then the DEC 21 beta mod correct?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hopesrequiem:
Yeah. Personally, I also format data every flash to ensure my data will be unencrypted but that's just me haha. And I also wipe everything 4 times before flashing. Rooting days on HTC and Samsung phones are to blame for that haha
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mpetruzz:
Can I flash the mod at the same time or does it have to be done after?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] erto90:
i have stock 6.0.1 stock rooted rom, running with ElementalX kernel.

I wanted to try this rom, can i flash it directly over stock or i have to wipe before to install it?

thanks
[Nexus 5X Android Development] szucsgf:
The first line of the installation instructions in the OP:

"If you're on stock 6.0.1 or Cataclysm 6.0.1 just flash latest mod over (if any), no wipes."

You'll also have to flash elementalX again. And maybe supersu. That's it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mpetruzz:
Does this have layers support for theming?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
When you typed "layers" in the search bar what did it say?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] biglilsteve:
For two days in a row, I end up with a nasty Google play services wake lock randomly. On the latest stable 6.0.1 no beta. EX 1.04.

You can see it happening at the end of the day.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gdskp:
When I turn on Bluetooth, the toggle button immediately turns off itself. With latest EX kernel and SuperSU 2.52. I have tried factory reset and reinstall all the things.

Any way to fix it? Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] hopesrequiem:
Mine works fine here. That's an odd issue. I would reflash the rom. Might be a kernel issue. I'm using the one included with this rom
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gdskp:
This is a newly reflesh one too
[Nexus 5X Android Development] erto90:
Ok but first i have to install the stable right ? Or can i directly flash the almost 40mb mod beta over my stock google rom?

So I read back a few pages since questions are repeated about once every 10 pages. I happened to come across theses gems. Funny you asked the question before, got the answer, and now you are asking it again. All I can figure is dementia. I'm sorry.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] buru898:
You're correct on everything, but I would also advise flashing radio, bootloader, and vendor along with system. Then just flash cataclysm on top and you're done!

IF you want to flash a different kernel you have to make sure it's permissive or you'll get a boot loop.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] FoleyRose:
I'm on another rom and I'm not sure what I need to do to try this one out. From my understanding :

- flash MDB08M stock image through fastboot (except userdata and recovery, I guess..?)

- flash cataclysm through TWRP

- flash SuperSU through TWRP

- ...

- profit?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] androidsnax:
Thanks [MENTION=883070]buru898[/MENTION] - just to be doubly sure - I take it that the kernel included with Cata has the same modifications as the Chainfire one that was needed to root my stock ROM previously? I was reading the forums from the first posts on the 5X regarding the need for the modified kernel in order for root, decryption etc and my heads a bit of a pickle with the speed things have moved on as Ive been waiting for Cata before flashing anything else - not sure whats still required! Basically Ive got it, just checking I dont "need" the Chainfire modded kernel in order to keep my decryption etc... :)

Thanks! And sorry for the noobish chat - on the bright side, hopefully itll help someone in the same situation in the future! :)

***Edit: followed the above and all seems to be working fine and dandy -feels good to have Cataclysm running again!

Can't wait to see what's to come!

Maybe too early but noticed a wee bug on the battery % when it's at 100% - see pics...
[Nexus 5X Android Development] manup456:
I don't seem to have that issue with battery.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] buru898:
Damn, was hoping to flash this but it seems like there is no "slide on status bar to adjust brightness" feature? I can't live without that, and the default auto-brightness management is terrible.

Flash ElementalX 0.6 in TWRP (make sure you untick the option to keep SELinux Enforcing in the last screen before installation)

Wipe cache/dalvik.

Reboot and enjoy.

Just wipe and flash since your rooted backup all apps with titanium. This rom is based off stock images so no need for gapps.

[MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] I know you prob have other things that are priority but color control would be amazing.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] The_Automator:
Isn't colour control kernel based? I just use elemental kernel and flar2's ex kernel manager.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] manup456:
Yeah was going to use a custom but since n6 kernels always work great for 3 days after that reboot city I like a stock kernel with dt2w and color control that's it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] The_Automator:
Ive had no reboots with elemental kernel. It supports permissive mode(needed for unmodified boot image) and colour control. With the fingerprint sensor i dont use dt2w but i guess the differences is the beauty of custom roms and kernels
[Nexus 5X Android Development] manup456:
I haven't ran elementalx with this rom, but I use password to start phone and using PureNex and elemental after the normal 3 days I wake up to, put in pass. I'll give it a go to see.

[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lossyx:
Does this ROM support Layers?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
It is stock Marshmallow so yes. Just need root, the Layers Manager, and Busybox. A quick search (or even a glimpse on the other page) would have answered that for you, just a heads up.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lossyx:
A, I applied all layers that was in a theme and couldnt open android interface, systemUI kept crashing. I read to remove overlays you had to go to /system/vendor/overlays which I cant find. (The folder)

After a full wipe and reinstall of Cataclysm some layers overlays are still there and doesnt look so good.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
On this device, it is in /vendor/overlay.

If you can get into the device, go into a root explorer, navigate to that folder and delete everything, and reboot. If you can't get into the device, go into TWRP, Mount and select vendor, Advanced > File Manager, navigate to that folder, delete everything, and reboot.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] gleggie:
I suggest you only apply the layers that you need, not all of them. To remove them you need to uninstall the layers within layers manager. If you get continuous system UI crashing, I recommend rebooting into recovery and wiping cache and dalvik
[Nexus 5X Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
I'm using Sublime 4.1 layers theme. Here's how I got it working perfectly: I have SuperSU 2.62-3, and I installed BusyBox free to /system/xbin. The default location was not working for Layers Manager so I had to manually specify /system/xbin. I then installed Layers Manager and Sublime 4.1, and then applied all Sublime 4.1 overlays. I know this may not help anybody but I just wanted to share my experiences.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lossyx:
I wiped both dalvik cache and cache and SystemUI still crashed :/

I guess really messed up this time

Edit:

Sorry, i forgot to mount vendor so the overlays folder didnt appear. Now i did and removed all overlays. Now it hopefully works
