It's not an aosp rom so no
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Smallsmx3:
But it says AOSP Rom

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Actually it says firmware.... Which should be the same
[Nexus 6P Android Development] akellar:
Looks like it was just copied over from their other device threads
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Huh? You mean the OP intro?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] akellar:
Right, this isn't the only device this rom exists on but they took a different route with 6p from my understanding. You can't have an aosp rom over stock.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Well that's not really what I asked in my OG question
[Nexus 6P Android Development] akellar:
Which I already answered
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Not really... So your telling me that with these Delta updates that upstream fixes from AOSP can't be applied
[Nexus 6P Android Development] akellar:
You will get the updates with OTA's. This is not an aosp rom and you don't get aosp updates from it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Smallsmx3:
Ok. So a limitation I can't deal with... Thus is where the dream ends and reality sets in..... Everything about this new way of flashing a rom\mod is awesome but that

Thanks for the info
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puritan007:
You guy's need to Google cataclysm rom and read his very interesting article "my unique way to merge aosp custom mods with stock rom for unparalleled stability and features"
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I've done some research.... Didn't find much. I always ask in a thread as a last resort. Guess I'm getting the run around
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbudness:
So for anyone interested in my flashing process here it is...​

Pre-Requisites:

Unlocked Bootloader - If you dont know how to achieve this look here

Flash Latest Build MDB08M

Have initial boot/setup finished (I even went through and updated all the google apps and setup just like i was going to be running the phone completely stock)

Step 1: Download Everything You Need To Your Computer...

TWRP 2.8.7.2 - Is what I used but any custom recovery you like will work...

Cataclysm for Nexus 6p - Obviously thats what we are all here for...

MDB08M Systemless Root Boot IMG - I went systemless so that way Android Pay could still work...( THANKS [MENTION=5122301]BrianAllred[/MENTION] )

SuperSU v2.56 - Must have this version for the Boot IMG to work correctly...

ElementalX Kernal - You dont have to use this Kernal, just what I did, if you prefer stock Kernal skip this...

Once you have downloaded all the needed files you need to put 2 of them on your phones internal storage.

Cataclysm for Nexus 6p

SuperSU v2.56 (Not the Boot IMG the Zip file)

***Optional*** If you downloaded a seperate Kernal you will need to put that zip on internal storage as well!

Step 2: Flashing/Installing...

Flash your custom recovery via fastboot

fastboot flash recovery filename.img

Boot into your recovery and install the Cataclysm Zip

From your custom recovery boot back into your bootloader and flash the MDB08M systemless boot IMG via fastboot

fastboot flash boot filename.img

Once again boot back in to your custom recovery and install the zip for SuperSu v2.56 (After this you will flash your custom Kernal if you decided to use one). Once you are done flashing this file choose to reboot to your system and MAKE SURE to choose DO NOT install SuperSU when it asks you because you have already done this!!

Now you PROFIT!!​

I hope this helps anyone having reboot issues because since doing this method I have not had one!​
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Phazmos:
Any modifications to system partition nixes otas. Normal root method modifies that partition.

You might want to look into systemless root, but there are a couple limitations.

You can get more info searching for it, or chainfire.

Just noticed, the su link above will get ya the info.

Enjoy!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] vtotheinay:
just want to double check to be safe before I update. I am on the initial cata rom, but want to update to the nov 21 update and elementalx kernel. all I have to do is flash cata nov 21 update in TWRP and then elemental right after and I'm good?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coolcat67:
Correct
[Nexus 6P Android Development] blueren:
Interestingly, my phone hasn't been dozing the last couple of days. Phone idle and wifi being the only two offenders. Wifi, can understand because it's been reported and acknowledged by google. But it's something that's happening only in the last 2 days. Weird.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aznriceballman:
Hey, i followed this guide exactly and it says i dont have SU binaries. How do i fix this?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbudness:
What is telling you that you don't have SU binaries?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aznriceballman:
Super SU, It's okay i just used wugs root kit to fix it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jbudness:
Still wondering why it is SuperSu is telling you that you that?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] pro_b:
OMG!!!! IT'S FINALLY HERE!!! Loved the rom on the N6 Sir. Real Talk, My N6P experience didn't feel complete without Cataclysm. Donation coming TONIGHT!!! Just to say thanks.

Confirmation number: 4C45597299096033R

I expect nothing but for you to know some of us really appreciate your work especially considering you don't even own the device. I'll be more than happy to assist with anything I can. Keep it up boss.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] bsg411:
6P starting to get real interesting !! Thanks for this Rom....it look packed with features. Is the built in kernel able to do color temp changes or speaker gain changes?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
OK so coming from completely stock (this is the ROM I was hoping/waiting for), do I just need to unlock bootloader and install twrp since this flashes over stock, or do I need to flash the modified image also?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] afbengochea:
Swipe to sleep!!!! The only thing I need in my life. Thank you soooo much
[Nexus 6P Android Development] atl4ntis:
Kernel is just stock with a couple of patches needed to run Cataclysm properly.

You may install custom kernels but they need to be permissive and might need to be updated with a patch for Quick Torch and Volume Skip tracks.

You should be able to just flash this over stock, if you're on latest MDB08M.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] trebills:
This is great, thanks. Seems to break the ability to use Android pay though. When using the full cataclysm rom on my n6 Android pay worked. Any chance on getting full rom that will allow Android pay to work?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] teh roxxorz:
iT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN!

....Been waiting for this. Great job sir.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] atl4ntis:
Well without this new release method there wouldn't be a Cataclysm for N6P.

This method is the future and also less invasive then a full rom. Only few files are changed and signature is unchanged.

If android pay is not working is probably not for the rom itself but for the permissive kernel.

This is the next thing i hopefully will fix asap. Then everything will be amazing.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SillyBearito:
Oh my, I'm so happy you're developing for the 6P at4ntis! Cataclysm on my nexus 5 was my go to ROM. I felt so lost without swipe 2 sleep

I'm going to undo xposed/gravity box and install this. Before i do that though, is it better to wipe my device clean to undo all the gravity box changes, or is it safe to uninstall them and flash cataclysm?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coolcat67:
I just did exactly that and wiped cache/dalvik. It's rebuilding cache now so seems to be working.. **Update-- it's up and running just fine**

Only feature I'll miss from GB is status bar brightness control.. I forgot how much I liked it... I don't understand how there isn't some xposed module out there by now that does only this.. Seems enough people are interested in having one to add to a ROM that doesn't include it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] BTT8:
How would you flash cataclysm without unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] akellar:
You wouldn't
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dastinger:
Oh boy, I'm so happy to see you here [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION]! Definitely the best ROM for the Nexus 5 and I'm pretty sure this is what I'll be rocking on my 6p as soon as I get it.

I know how hard it might be to support so many devices at once, mainly without owning some of them so thanks a million!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Maxamillion:
So, Cataclysm is essentially the stock rom with tweaks?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puritan007:
That's in gravity box mm beta........... Oh. You said only . I get it yeah usually people build it into rom or someone extracts it from gravity box as a stand alone mod.. Sorry I'm slow.

Also very thankful for this and happy to see you here. :)

Working perfectly here still. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jtorress:
Yes! Thank you for bringing it to 6P!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Rixsta:
Beautiful work, great dev...credit to XDA.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] jtorress:
You wouldn't, that's really hard to do if not impossible nowadays. Why would you want to do that anyways there's many benefits to having a custom recovery. :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coolcat67:
No worries. I was about to request the feature but realized I probably wasn't the first person to do so. I searched the N5 Cata thread and there are quite a few requests for it over the past 2 years. I couldn't find where [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] gave his reasoning for not including it, but I'm sure he has his reasons as it's obviously not due to lack of ability. Seems like installing GB over Cata is a bad idea and I'm not about to mess up a great thing for one feature.

I found that some users suggested an app called Display Brightness, but the implementation is much different than just reaching to the top of the screen anytime and moving finger across status bar to adjust brightness, no notification pulldown needed (which is why longpressing torch doesn't fill the void for me). The app adds a slider bar at the top or the side of the screen which I find displeasing and makes it not worth it to me. Hopefully the day comes where its possible to add the feature through a standalone xposed module or something.. I know there are a bunch of us that want it.

Edit: Paypal donation sent for all your hard work and now bringing this awesome ROM to the 6P! Thanks again [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aznriceballman:
Honestly i have no idea =P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
Just flashed this tonight. All I can say is frigging awesome! I've been on many roms before but this is the absolute best! I've never seen so many options. Unbelievable!

I have some reading to do. About 40 pages or so. I just read the OP and said hell yeah, got to have this! I

How does this distribution method work with Google monthly updates? I'm running encrypted. Trying to flash the stock image without wiping userdata would not boot. I had to totally wipe, reencrypt, etc. Is this going to be required every month?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
You should just be able to flash the system.img then the updated Cataclysm zip.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63938852

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63958672

If you were coming from another ROM, you should have wiped first then flashed the system.img; if you didn't, that is why it didn't boot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
Thank you for the info. Perhaps I did something wrong. Yes, I was on a different ROM. I downloaded the entire Google factory image and flashed it. The only thing I changed was deleting the - w (wipe) from the final command in hopes of preserving my *sdcard*.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yeah that is not a clean install when coming from a custom ROM which can create a whole host of issues (as you can see). That - w flag doesn't just protect the sdcard, it protects the whole data folder I believe which means all of your previous apps and data are still there. When you wipe in TWRP, if you don't select Internal Storage, it preserves your sdcard partition. Only time you would ever need to wipe that is to format it so it decrypts.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] smallvan:
Hi All

Just got my Nexus 6p 128G on MDB08L and would like to use the Cataclysm Mod. So below are the steps I can think of:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash recovery twpr

3. Decrypt by using twrp format data

4. Reboot system

5. Download SU2.56 and Cat Mod and save to SD

6. Full wipe

7. Flash MDB08M system.img

7. Flash Cat Mod

8. Flash SU 2.56

9. Reboot

Are the steps above good to go? And do we need to flash the vendor.img after MDB08M system.img?

Million Thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I would flash the vendor.img after the system.img. Also, the included kernel has force encryption ("Included kernel has force encryption and dm-verity disabled, also SuperSU will work out of the box, no need to flash any other kernel"). So if you want to be decrypted, flash a custom kernel with optional decryption after flashing the Cataclysm Mod, then perform step 2.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mikexda:
Awesome information, thank you! Learn something new every day.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] aznriceballman:
So I let my battery drain completly and the system ui crashed any ideas on how to fix this?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] smallvan:
Thanks nathanchance

I think I am going to do:

1. Unlock bootloader

2. Flash recovery twrp

3. Full wipe

4. Reboot bootloader

5. Flash MDB08M system.img

6. Flash MDB80M vendor.img

7. Boot twrp recovery

8. Flash Cat Mod

9. Flash SU 2.56

10. Reboot bootloader

11. Flash boot.img with decryption enable (or stay twrp if custom kernel)

12. Boot twrp and decrypt by using format data

10. Reboot
[Nexus 6P Android Development] zee24:
Hey I'm on completely stock. Well I flashed a stock rom it's the complete Noobstock Rom and it's rooted would this work on it?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Op calls for stock image, anything else and you're on your own support wise. I'd just get back to stock then flash
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Fentadroid:
Why decrypt?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dehelfix:
is there a way to donate to atl4ntis with play store credit?...still cant figure out what to do with my all free $50 credit, he deserves a piece of that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] giant22000:
As previously stated in the thread, you proceed at your own risk by doing this.

With that said I just wanted to let folks know for those who do not wish to flash factory stock image through their computer. Cataclysm flashed just fine over clean core rom. I've had no crashes or reboots. I went ahead and did the systemless root and flashed elementalx kernel. All is well, phone is running fantastic and Android Pay is working with my systemless rooted device!

On a side note, I was already on the correct vendor image. If you are not on the correct vendor image you will need to flash this through your computer. I do believe there are a couple of recovery flashable vendor zips floating around.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] lpsi2000:
I am not sure what you are trying to do but you don't need all of these steps

remove 3,10,11, and 12.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

All of the people who are having reboots issues. I have tested a bunch of scenarios for the past few days including fulling wiping phone with only stock image, no addons or layers with just Cataclysm. I was still getting reboots until I went to another to another kernel (ElementalX). I have not seen any reboots for the past 15 hours and phone is very stable. I am thinking the reboots could be caused by the included kernel, at least that is what it looks like for me.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] smallvan:
I just follow the same done on my Nexus 6. After some readings tonight, it seems the performance gains on decrypting is negligible.

So, I will keep my Nexus 6p encrypted.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gerbig:
The included kernel has force encryption disabled and dm-verity disabled, it won't reencrypt....
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajgftw:
Not to dismiss your testing or experiences, but I haven't had any reboots on the included kernel. I agree there's enough people having reboots that there may very well be an issue somewhere, but it definitely doesn't seem its an all or nothing scenario.... So the mystery continues...
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Have you tried it? I'm not on the 6P but I pulled that line straight from the OP so if it is wrong, I'd let atl4ntis know.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mko000:
Is there an option to change the DPI? I can't find it...

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] atl4ntis:
Stats tile shows real available memory, not counting cached processes.

Many third party apps wrongly shows just free ram which in Android doesn't make much sense.

If you longpress Stats tile it will shows the good old ram usage removed by Google. It should show the same available memory as Stats tile.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] hajabooja:
Don't normally request features, but is it at all possible to add "Double Tap Nav Bar to Sleep"? Only thing it's missing for me! Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DanielF50:
Spoke too soon - getting soft reboots again, especially with fb messenger notifications, so I've uninstalled and also disabled all my xposed modules. I'll try turning things back on slowly and see how it goes, will report back later.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] atl4ntis:
Do you have flash on notifications enabled by any chance?

Cause it seems the new camera api is not acting well, expecially on N6P, according to some logs i've read.

Beside that, there's a thread on Google product forums where lot of people are experiencing random reboots on N6P on stock rom: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/uhvZVgK2zz0
[Nexus 6P Android Development] gerbig:
I'm on 5X, decrypted with atl4ntis' kernel. You're reading force encryption and disabled dm-verity, but the disabled applies to both force encryption and dm-verity.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Hmmm... I replied to that at 2am, probably not the best idea lol. Thank you for the clarification!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] panooos:
Download texdroider_dpi from play store. Works like a charm
[Nexus 6P Android Development] DanielF50:
Welp. I do, and I had it enabled before I did a clean install too. I'll turn it off, re-enable my modules, and see if disabling fixes the issue.

Could be the random reboot issue, but it didn't happen before I rooted/flashed Cata, hopefully it's just a camera flash issue though.

Thanks atl4ntis, keep up the awesome work man :)

[Nexus 6P Android Development] mrnovanova:
Does this rom still have that feature from the N5 where the nav bar would change colors to match the top bar? I really miss that feature.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tracerit:
The swipe motion is quite long IMO, usually at least almost half of the width of the bar itself. Looking forward to a long press action to reassign to possibly the side menu keys.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MortenHeck:
Amazingly easy process and the result is so smooth!!

Just a quick question, how do I remove the error message when the phone is booting?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajgftw:
Do you mean the message about the bootloader being unlocked??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MortenHeck:
yes, will it help to flash the vendor.img in recovery?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ajgftw:
No that message will remain as long as the bootloader is unlocked to the best of my knowledge.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tracerit:
Is this normal behavior? When I'm in Chrome and press the Recents button and then press the recents button again, it'll bring me back to the home screen rather than the screen I was at, which would be Chrome?

I use the recents button to peek at information from another window and expect it to return to the screen I was at before.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nadiros:
Pardon me, but I've experienced so many different versions of the recents view that I may not have this right. If I remember correctly when you hit the recent apps button usually your current app isn't shown, however in Cataclysm it is so instead of hitting recent again just tap on the chrome tab which should be in the bottom of your rolodex.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tracerit:
Correct, I can just do that but it just feels unnatural. I tested it on Lollipop on my OPO and it brings me back to the screen I was on before. Maybe it's a marshmallow and not Cataclysm thing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nadiros:
(Since I can't edit my posts in the xda Labs app)

Anybody want to comment on battery life concerning the feature "disable motion detection on doze" ?

And no this is not an invite for endless pages of screenshots of your battery graphs. :p

For me coming from a Oneplus One, I find the battery to be amazing, however I can't honestly judge this new feature as I flashed Cataclysm as soon as I unboxed this badboy.

My device does seem to doze even while driving around all day for my job. This is huge as far as I'm concerned, and what I've wanted since I realized editing doze parameters is not enough, and often more detrimental to battery.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Same type situation here. I drive a daily route and I find it has helped. I get great battery all day and only charge in the morning when I wake up. With my old n5 as soon as I got in the truck is have it plugged up.

Side note, I forgot about the force show menu button in options, that's a godsend on this big screen.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SectorAndroidRD:
If I flash the rom's boot.img will it remove the yellow boot up warning before the google unlocked screen shows up? I think it shows that warning because I flashed the systemless root and then I flashed Elemental X kernel on top of it but not sure how that warning works
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Disregard it, unlocked bootloader causes it
[Nexus 6P Android Development] tkoreaper:
What kind of theme for nova are you using and which font?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MortenHeck:
Do you recommend turning this on? Do you still get notifications while in doze mode?

Yes and yes :good:
[Nexus 6P Android Development] MortenHeck:
Tnx, checking this out now!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] shawnten:

[Nexus 6P Android Development] linezero:
