Compared to N5, the screen is better and battery lasts longer. I got 4-6 hours sot with N5, 6-8 hours with 5X. The fingerprint sensor is awesome. With mods from XDA you can have dual front facing speakers and eis for the camera. Performance feels approximately the same.

It's an upgrade, but not a necessary one. I might have kept my N5 another year if it didn't break. Though I'm very happy with the 5X.

Some people complain about a yellow screen, performance issues, or poor battery life. I attribute these generally to defective devices or user error, but you might want to be aware of that.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] princem131:
Thanks! Think I may pull the trigger and preserve my aging N5 as a back up phone. My power button was sticking causing bootloops and all types of craziness, but I finally fixed it, most likely temporarily (a few blunt smacks on the side of my desk proved to be the remedy lol). I can at least give it a try since it has Cataclysm. I just know I can't go with put Cata after testing this Moto X Pure lol. Moderate gains in those areas works for me. I know how much the N5 improved over time so hopefully we'll see that same development. My only lingering concern is the loss of all of my many micro USB chargers smh. Maybe I'll grab a few converters as I transition over... Much appreciated!

Positive Vibrations
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
Agree
[Nexus 5X Android Development] peltus:
Just throwing a minor feature request in there: might it be possible to add a vibrate option to the battery charged notification?

This would be super as i usually have the phone in silent mode and therefore miss the notification..
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mdroid28:
Coming from another ROM you have to flash SuperSU again? Why?

Currently on PN w system root.. Wanting to try cataclysm but not sure why I'd need to re-root
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Because that version of SuperSU resides in your system partition, which gets wiped when you switch ROMs. Cataclysm is not pre-rooted, you need to flash it yourself.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mdroid28:
Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. Man, things sure have changed a lot since I last was in the rooting/flashing game. Used to be much simpler, flash and go.

So do I want the beta 2.52 or the stable 2.46? Does it matter?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Honestly, if you don't care about Android Pay, it is just as easy as before. Flash Cataclysm zip, custom kernel if you want one then SuperSU 2.52 and you are done. The instructions look long but I just like to be pretty thorough. Systemless root kind of threw a wrench in the machine so to speak by complicating how root is installed and maintained but it is really only relevant for stock people and Android Pay users.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] mdroid28:
My banks don't even support AP so yeah I don't care.

I don't recall ever having to flash SU before when switching ROMs. Just the ROM, gapps and kernel.

No big deal, things change I guess.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
Hey everyone... I seem to be having a problem with MMS, and I'm not sure what it is. I'm using Cataclysm Jan 6 with ElementalX 1.05, SuperSU 2.66 systemless (installed to /su/xbin I believe), SwiftKey 6.0, and Textra as my SMS/MMS client. Whenever I attempt to insert an image with Textra, it doesn't even pop up the list of images and just says "unfortunately, textra has stopped". Does anyone have any ideas? I have changed pretty much every setting in Textra, and I have attempted using Google Keyboard instead of SwiftKey keyboard but nothing helps..

Edit: It was my Layers theme. I turned it off for Textra, and now MMS works! It was already turned off for SwiftKey because it caused crashing for SwiftKey but I didn't even think it would for Textra too. I'm happy now. :D
[Nexus 5X Android Development] jawnah:
I use the latest beta and use the systemless method to avoid flashing a patched boot.img. The systemless method does the patch work for you. No problems here and it lets me upgrade on the road.

I can't speak to adding this to the ROM but this could be done using Tasker. Tasker can poll other notifications for content. Your trigger would just match the application name and title of the notification that appears silently. You would have an action of vibrate and you might have to modify the mode in the rules to allow the vibrate. The details are really outside of the scope of this thread but there are plenty of Tasker guides on Google.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] peltus:
Thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ifwillems:
I have two questions:

(1) Is there a "roadmap" for further Cataclysm functionality? Or is it basically in "maintenance mode" going forward?

(2) In order to run Layers Manager, do I have to be rooted (systemless or system)? Or can I also stay unrooted?

I really enjoy Cataclysm ... currently unrooted on top of stock! Thank you for the hard work!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
1. He said his one better below.

2. Yes, the Layers Manager requires root. It can be systemless but there have been some minor issues with it.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
With Marshmallow, Cataclysm had 99% of the Lollipop features on day one so while i keep implementing few suggestions from time to time you can't expect me to go full bloat since we still have many months until N.

I can't reasonably keep adding things for another year, still if something good comes into my mind or some nice suggestions are made i'll gladly add them.

Layers manager requires root but probably you can somehow add single layers from recovery without root.

Need confirmations as i don't use any layers.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] Lossyx:
GravityBox is compatible with this ROM right?

Because everything time I activate it my SystemUI keeps crashing, I've tried clearing the setting by deleting the data and reinstalling the app. Anyone else having this?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
I don't believe Layers will work without root since it needs busybox installed as well. The method for using layers and busybox diverge when talking about systemless and system root. If anyone is interested I can find all the links in G+ and post them here. Osmosis has a busybox script (installer) for systemless and system is most likely as before. The only problem with layers at this time is if you bootloop, which seems to happen often enough, you need to mount the vendor partition in recovery and delete the offending overlay from twrp file manager. Not for the weak at heart if you don't have a nandroid.

Thanks [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] - looks like the LED is still not functioning correctly on latest version, i have set pulse on 300ms, pulse off 4000ms and LED is flashing on/off something like 100ms each on notification. I have custom led colours set for gmail, hangouts and a couple of others. Will test if it works with default and get back.

Let me know if there's anything else you need to know...

**Edit: have tried with default pulse speed and it seems to work correctly, just looks like custom ones not working...

No worries, feel free to send testing requests my way, I'm not 100% confident on adb, fastboot etc past flashing .img's etc but will help where i can with flashing test .zip's etc.

Edit: saying that though, I'm away out for a meal tonight, but will be free and lazing around tomorrow!

No idea what battery issues you're talking about, the battery is fine. :confused:
[Nexus 5X Android Development] atl4ntis:
Layers don't need busybox, the app does, probably to copy/delete stuff in vendor.

If you copy things by yourself on vendor via recovery, i don't see the need of root/busybox.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
When you get a layer app from PS and install it, it extracts to layers manager so you can select the overlays you would like to install. There are systemui and framework apks which enable some of the other overlays to function. I'm really not sure if you'd want to manually extract stuff and wing it if that was even possible. On the other hand systemless root on your mod is painless and doesn't modify anything you have done. One other nice thing about the new layers manager is that it will gray out any overlays that don't apply to your current system.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] knipp21:
Using layers, I had to reflash the ROM. I was getting "system" and "nfc"/force closes on boot. Happen to anyone else?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] blanco2701:

Is there way to enable smart radio with just having installed the cataclysm mod?currently it is greyed out for me. Sorry if this has been asked
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Are you on Sprint or Verizon? Smart Radio doesn't work with CDMA carriers.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:
Yes depends on the layer. You can always simply delete the layer in recovery. Layers are not user friendly these days. Nandy to be safe.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] PiousInquisitor:
Layer issues? Simply flash the correct vendor image and you are good. It's not rocket science people.

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 AM ----------

There is no enabling or fancy crap like that. There are only overlay apks. Manually applying then is not hard. The way the plug-in app (the one you download from the play store) is packaged makes applying the combination you want really simple. Everything iscombined into folders with like overlays. Even Magpie is easy as pie. Lol. <- Its not working for me anymore. SimpL and other no-option themes still work though. Take it from someone who has made a few layers themes and has been following the project from the beginning.

I have some random reboots over night while phone is dozeing. Can I somehow log it and try to catch whats going on?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Do you have any mods installed? Are you on a custom kernel?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ifwillems:
I have Cataclysm installed on top of Stock with Systemless Root. I installed the Layers app from the Play Store. When I try to install a Layer, everything seems to be OK, but after the reboot none of the new layers show up and no overlays have been placed in the vendor/overlay folder? Isn't Layer Manager compatible with Cataclysm and Systemless Root?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] lakyberry:
Yes. I am on Elemental X 1.05 no mods. Note that I disabled google backup transport. But when I enabled it back reboots continued. I did a clean flash today with no apps disabled this time. Will report back.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Okay if you continue to get reboots, grab the contents of your /sys/fs/pstore folder and post them in the EX thread as reboots are kernel related not ROM related.

I can add cards on Android pay just fine with systemless root. But can't use it to pay. Anyone else?

How is the battery life compared to stock?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
From [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] here

If you chose systemless root (pick one):

CLICK TO HIDE CONTENT

1. SuperSU 2.61 (Android Pay with work out of the box).

2. SuperSU 2.62-3 (must delete /su/xbin_bind with a root explorer and reboot before setting up Android Pay).

3. SuperSU 2.64 and up (must type echo SYSTEMLESS=true>>/data/.supersu (no quotes) into a terminal emulator (or TWRP > Advanced > Terminal Command > Select) before you flash to get systemless root AND follow the note in step 2 for Android Pay to work).
​

Your issue is probably 2 or 3 or both.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Nope, if you can set up Android Pay, you should be able to pay. However, some people have said that some payment machines don't really work well with Android Pay (I'll see if I can find a link in a bit).
[Nexus 5X Android Development] bobby janow:

[Nexus 5X Android Development] knipp21:
OK. Thanks for the info. I'm running on 2.61 and it added just fine. But I wasn't able to pay with it at Best Buy.

It did however work just fine with the same card before I rooted.

I was thinking maybe an app I have broke it. Would "naptime" break it?

Also, just wanna say that this ROM is probably the best I've ever used on an Android device. Thank you to the OP for this.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
It is possible. I have heard Greenify may break it as well. Any other mods you have installed lately?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] knipp21:
No nothing.

Interesting though.. I just deleted my card and re added it (while rooted) and ran "safety net check" and now it passes..

Edit:

I did delete titanium and reboot. I think that fixed it
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
I'll raise you a nope. When you install a systemless SU, it will write, among many other things, an /su/xbin-bind. With that you can add cards to AP, since /system was not modified, but AP won't actually work without deleting xbin-bind.

Wait - you have the latter in your guide, which is how I know about it. So, um, ??.

The reason for writing the xbin-bind directory to /su in the first place is unknown to me. I'd try to get and read [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] 's code, but I'm of course too lazy.

More generally, there are at this point various combos of kernel/su/rom. Using the wrong combo, or the right combo in the wrong sequence, can lead one down a bogus path. One has to be quite careful and read a lot of the material on the kernel one wants to use, the rom, and esp the stuff about SU to finally get the gist.

EG, one should read your stuff.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Actually you can't even add a card to Android Pay without removing /su/xbin_bind. If it comes back (like after a SuperSU update), your card will still be available but you won't be able to pay because SafetyNet is still in effect.

/su/xbin_bind is a symlink to /system/xbin so that poorly coded root apps (that make hardcoded calls to the su binary) can still work.

All of the SuperSU stuff is definitely a lot to read. New technology and all haha.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] ibilln:
Coulda sworn I added cards w/o removing xbin-bind - long ago, in ancient times - Ie, about two weeks back.

Good to know!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] knipp21:
I'm running 2.61 myself. Not to sure what broke it on my part.

Not sure if I'm oblivious to the post, but does anyone else on Verizon have an issue with keeping lte/data enabled while on a call? Even with HD calling enabled?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] nathanchance:
Hey guys, I just updated my guide linked in my signature. I cleaned up the rooting section (made it a little less dense and provided a clear Android Pay path for those who care). Also, since Franco is soon switching to an AnyKernel format (already done on the Nexus 6 with r42, soon to be for all of his other devices), the vast majority of kernels do not include a ramdisk/full boot.img. This allows me to standardize kernel install instructions for both system and systemless installs (you should still always check with your kernel developer for their precise process but this process will apply to the vast majority of them). Let me know if there are any issues as I did all of my threads all at once so I could have goofed somewhere.

Great features, I really appreciate this "ROM".

I have one different behavior from pure stock and I have trouble to understand whether there is an option to disable it or not.

In pure stock rom, when I receive a notification, the notification light pulses. If I turn the screen ON and stay on the lock screen but does not dismiss the notifications, the notification light doesn't pulse anymore.

Here the notification light is constantly pulsing until I actually dismiss or read the notification. Any way to turn this behavior back to stock?

The Mod zip includes only the files that atl4ntis modifies, the Stable zip includes the Android system (and vendor on the 5X and 6P) images in addition to the Mod files.

Hi,

I am using stock on my nexus 5x. I have used cm13 earlier, but I prefer peace of mind with the stock.

But I am missing some features, such as LED customization. As I am not familiar with cataclysm, I do have a few questions:

- do I need root to install cataclysm mods?

- how I do flash the mods? with a custom recovery?

- if i install cataclysm mods, will i receive ota updates?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X Android Development] szucsgf:
No you do not need root.

Yes you flash with a custom recovery. Instructions in the OP.

You won't receive OTA updates but Atl4antis provides a full ROM zip when new factory images are available so it's easy for you to update by flashing in recovery.
[Nexus 5X Android Development] dr.pythagora:
Thanks for the prompt answer. Much appreciated.

So definitely I have to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the custom recovery.

Will the rom work normally if I lock the booloader after I have flashed the recoevry?
[Nexus 5X Android Development] loepen:
Don't lock bootloader when not completely stock. You will brick your phone.
