Hi there, I have a quick question. When flashing from another ROM running Android 6.0.1, is all that is needed to be flashed is the larger 810 mb file and then flash that? I'm use to flashing Gapps, but from trying to understand this, and given the size of the ROM, it seems Gapps is built in. Is this correct?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, wipe everything but internal storage, then flash the large stable file and the latest small beta/mod file. GApps is included but you will need to flash SuperSU separately for root.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dbroer91884:
Thanks for the response. Sometimes when I ask this question, other people are stunned I didn't first read through the 180 or so pages. I appreciate the help.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I believe it is in the OP but I am a kind and patience fellow. If you ever have any questions, just let me know!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dbroer91884:
I do appreciate the help. I had read that but the information about the bootloader/radio stuff messed with my mind since I've not done that. I wasn't sure if I had to flash something else along with that ROM.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Mm bug, no fix to my knowledge
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dbroer91884:
Another question, if I'm coming from Stock Android 6.0.1 that I flashed to my phone, what is this vender.img thing? I'm not sure what that is. I've not had to do that with other ROMS. The directions I'm looking at I copied below:

1. Download the latest beta zip (no need for full stable), your custom kernel (optional), and SuperSU (if you want root, see below) onto your phone (make sure the kernel is up to date for the latest Android version of Cataclysm).

2. If you have not done it already (only applicable for those who did not take an OTA to update from 6.0), flash the radio, bootloader and vendor.img from here via fastboot (optional but recommended).

3. Boot into TWRP.

4. Make a backup (optional but HIGHLY recommended).

5. Flash Cataclysm zip.

6. Flash your custom kernel (optional).

7. Flash SuperSU (optional, see below).

8. Flash the latest vendor.img (if you did not do step 2 above, this is mandatory).

9. Reboot and profit.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
If you are currently on 6.0.1 without issues, don't worry about step 2 or 8.

Any Update news on new year?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Not exactly. I was with stock 6.0.1 and Franco and without vendor flash, I had many apps including TB fcing.. It happened even after complete wipe. After flashing vendor, all is well
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sherlock5545:
Vendor is required for all ROMs now. I'm not sure if there's any ROM with the vendor included. Anyway, if you were on 6.0.1 at least once (either via OTA or factory image), the vendor is already updated so subsequent 6.0.1 ROMs you flash won't need it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Yes I did an Ota to 6.0.1 and wasn't expecting to flash vendor but looks like we have to.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] sherlock5545:
Did you, by any chance, have Layers theme installed? They will persist over factory resets so even of you change ROM, they don't go away (unless you remove them before of course), so that might have caused force closes. In such cases reflashing the vendor will wipe the partition and solve any issues related to it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Yes.. How did I miss to note that. That should be the reason.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
Removing layers before any change of rom is priority number 1!!!

This is the most common cause of problems during change of roms. Make sure you delete them. Most secure way is from twrp and deleting overlays folder cause sometimes layers app does not remove layers installed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] adrok76:
If you just want a layer for Google app (now) it is named as Velvet.apk

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

You need to flash theme ready Google contacts and dialer for the text issue, it's in the TBO thread and also in Davey Annihilations thread both here and on G+ search DJ Darkknight, Bryan Owens or David Wilson from G+ they have all Google theme ready apps
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Do you have naptime or greenify installed? Sounds like aggressive doze is happening. You can go into battery settings and un-optimize that app and try that.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ichigo8745:
No, I don't have naptime or greenify installed and I have also WhatsApp without battery optimization.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Did you restore WhatsApp from Titanium Backup? If so, back up your chats in WhatsApp > Settings > Chats and calls > Chat backup then reinstall WhatsApp. I am receiving them fine.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ichigo8745:
Ok. I try it now

UPDATE: It works now. Thanks

Hi all. Using Cataclysm with Ex kernel. I'm having an issue that I continue to have since lollipop in my Nexus 4.

In screen shot you can see that the wifi is running until the moment I took the ss. But in reality I have turned off wifi an hour earlier than when I took the ss. Could someone tell what could be the reason if they are aware about it? Due to this fact I am not able to get more than 4h sot and more than 12h stand by. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Have you checked that scanning is off in Settings > Location > Menu dots in right hand corner > Scanning? Might also want to check out this issue and this issue.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
I usjally keep it off but in this case, since I did a clean install yesterday I missed to turn them off. Nevertheless, I have always had this issue even with them turning off. I'll check my next battery cycle. Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Hi Nathan, even after scanning off, reset of network settings and reboot, I still have that wifi usage shown in history details while it's not true.

May be it's a Lollipop and above bug that is yet to be resolved.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Kappa Lamda:
I can get 5 hours sot very easily... I am with latest Cata and ElementalX kernel. Stock kernel settings. Phone smooth like butter and battery amazing. Only drain I have is g services. For example, last night after 12,5 hours on standby, sync on, wifi on, 3g on, received one missed call, 5 emails, facebook notifications and messages while I was sleeping and phone droped from 100 -> 94%. About 1% every 2 hours. That's an acceptable loss of battery. Checked BBS stats and had a 42% of Google Services on Alarms tab.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mko000:
My battery stats also show the WiFi as active when turned off (scanning turned off, of course). I haven't noticed any drain from that though, my battery life is great. Maybe it's just a cosmetic thing?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] niv3d:
Hey Guys! So I was curious if after a couple weeks of running Cataclysm or any custom rom for that matter if your phone becomes very laggy and battery life dies a horrible death? I've noticed I just about have to do a clean flash every month to have a normal operating phone. This has occurred on my N6 and now 6p. :/ am I doing something incorrectly as an android user? lol. Is there anything I can do to help with this? I do recall when running an ODEX version of a rom I did not have this issue. It may be a placebo effect but any insight will be much appreciated! Maybe [MENTION=6842057]nathanchance[/MENTION] would have an idea? You seem to know a lot man! Thanks!

I've been on cataclysm from day one and still smooth as silk with kylo kernel
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
I'm the type of guy who restarts his phone every morning...

And I never seem to have the issues many of you claim. Sometimes a reboot is honestly all you need.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
This is cataclysm, the only time a reboot is needed is to update :)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Soulfly3:
or to solve some common issues ;)
[Nexus 6P Android Development] puritan007:
The more apps and crap you get the more full your storage, if you have hundreds of apps open at once the phone will start to slow down.. Facebook app is a giant battery hog for example, other apps that wake your phone up and or check a server several times... Some weather apps kill phones.. Mostly is recommended to run something like better battery stats (which can be accused of being a battery big itself) to figure out what all is causing these issues.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] niv3d:
I know about rebooting the phone guys lol. That helps for a little bit but not much. Also I didn't experience this on my N5 with Cataclysm. It is by far the best ROM I've ran on any phone period. Although my issues aren't just the battery, BBS shows most of my partial wakes are from Google Play services. Nlpwakelock etc... The high thousands and one above 10k. I may do a clean wipe and install Cataclysm again today we'll see. Just getting old having to restart everything all over again so often. (Hence the reason Cataclysm and [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] method of updating is so outstanding!!) At any rate thanks for the response guys! [MENTION=5402239]puritan007[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Too much of Google play services drain. Hasn't happened with stock. Currently with cataclysm and ex.

Is it due to the fact I removed some of the stock Google Apps and installed them as user apps?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Atticustrd:
Sup guys lots of great info in here helped a ton. Just confused on one thing is it safe to use busy box? I'm using elemental kernel but to change some settings I need a kernel app, I have kernel auditor installed but its asking to install busybox, currently I'm running cat mod, su 2.65, elemental kernel, and layers. All seems to be working smooth. Getting 5.5 hrs sot. Just making sure I don't mess something up by installing busybox.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] SirRastusBear:
You are fine installing busybox. The only issue is if you need to use Android Pay. Then you'd have to do some tweaking.

On a semi related note, I see the RRO/Layers team is very very close to having Layers work without Busybox.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239421

Flash the busybox from here. it'll clean up any previous install and work correctly with systemless root
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Can you add live volume steps to this? That is one of the only things I really miss, thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] coolcat67:
Any chance of getting the swipe statusbar to adjust brightness feature to work on the lockscreen in the next Cata build? Thanks [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] for all of your hard work and support!

My layer theme works without having busybox installed.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Not sure if a layer can/did do this, but can someone test if long pressing wifi or bt tile from quick settings still goes straight to those settings? Mine isn't working
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
Works fine here, both for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tiles. I'm using InversionUI and navigate.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
Thanks. Not sure what I've done but I broke it somehow lol.

Edit: got it. Had to convert the tiles to singles
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
If I update the radio, boot loader, vendor, etc., from today's security update will everything be OK? I am already on December 21 mod, so how would I update all the factory Google stuff, and stay as is, if it won't cause issues that is?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] elreydenj:
Bootloader and radio are the same in the new security update. There are probably some small changes to system. You wouldnt be doing anything by flashing the new bootloader, vendor, and radio while on 12/21 mod. I am sure Atl4antis will be out with a new mod shortly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Can I flash system, then re flash the 21st mod and be OK? Like what do I need to flash to get the benefits of the new security update and then how and what order would I go about without losing, like a dirty flash. Lol!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] inffy:
No as the system propably has modifications. You have to wait for the new mod rebase

There is really nothing special in these security updates. They aren't emergency updates anyway
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rtthane:
I have just upgraded to the Jan 1st image by flashing the system.img and vendor.img files, followed by Cata 21/12, custom kernel then Super SU 2.65. All working perfectly.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Did you do any wipes in twrp or adb prior to that? Like do u still have everything where it was? Except system obviously is redone, but your data and apps and all are still living correct? Lol there is a new SuperSU 2.66 out as well ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rtthane:
All i did was

Flash system.img

Flash vendor.img

Flash Cata 21/12

Flash Franco R5

Flash Super SU 2.65

Wipe dalvik and cache

Reboot

Everything intact as before and no issues so far.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Alright, good deal, let me know if ya run into anything, thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rtthane:
Will do, if you are twitchy though probably best waiting for an announcement from Atl4ntis to be on the safe side. I have all my data backed up so no big deal if it goes pear shaped.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
I ain't twitchy, lol, I'm antsy! Haha
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mystertom101:
I've been on cata with franco kernel and SuperSU 2.65 for a while I never flashes the vendor img should I have ?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
K I got another question, if I wanted to switch kernels, like usually I would dirty flash the ROM then flash the new kernel, of course on cata there is only the mod so if I flash the mod is that like dirty flash? It can I just flash kernel over kernel? I am on AK kernel and always have been, but I think I want to give Franco a shot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dbroer91884:
So if you could help me understand this, that would be great (I'm learning about this stuff as I go). I assume you meant with the .img you downloaded the new files from Android Developer website, and extracted those specifics files, the system.img and vender.img. Then you said you flashed them and flashed the Cata 21/12. How did the flashing work in twp? I know you can flash .zips in TWRP, but can you flash .img files?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Mikulec:
You can flash only boot img files in TWRP. He flashed system and vendor via adb or probably som toolkit.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] dbroer91884:
Yep, that makes sense. I had a brainfart just now and thought that TWRP replaced the fastboot....My Bad. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] venelar:
You flash them via fastboot. There are guides stickied in other sections of the 6p forum.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ugvpkn:
From Nathan's post #1180 - flashing the mod is how you get from systemless root to system root; I assume that this would suffice to change kernels. It will be good if Nathan or someone else can confirm.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Thanks for the response, I thought the regular mod was not rooted, u had to flash system root or systemless? I would also like some extra confirmation on how to swap out kernels, if I can just flash mod, then flash systemless root, then new kernel? Thanks again for.your help!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
You need to flash the system.img and vendor.img with fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Any feedback on the new radio? Cayaclysm has been perfect with Franco, but I do feel like my radio has acted up a bit recently.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
I don't own a 6P but I have seen some people in other threads say the new radio continues to be hit or miss.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] wakers:
I thought I posted this earlier but can't find it but apologies if this has been answered before, but if I flash a newer mod will it wipe layers, any theming etc if I don't wipe data during the install? Thanks got a few theming mods going on and just curious if it'll be ok thanks
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mystertom101:
Cataclysm beta and franco ??
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GCbard:
new build is up on google firmware website

MMB29P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] THATTON:
Which of the MMB29P IMG files can I Fastboot and still keep my Cataclysm configuration?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GCbard:
i think you need to wait until cataclysm is updated. Otherwise when you flash cataclysm you may be overwriting the new system file somewhat. IS that correct?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Toutatis_:
Impressive! I wish I had the same screen on time. I'm also using Cataclysm + franco kernel and I usually get 3 - 3.5 hours at most.

My Idle / screen off drain is fantastic though, like nonexistent.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
Assuming he releases it the same way, not necessarily. The Dec 8th stable is a full ROM for those coming from a custom ROM, after which you flash the latest beta if you want. If you are up to date on stock (or make sure you are) you can simply flash the beta and be good. I did just the beta when I first went to Cataclysm from stock and it was great. After playing around with a couple other ROMs I returned by flashing the stable and then the beta.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] mystertom101:
I get about 6hr on average now never below 5 it took about just over a week of this combination for battery life to get to that level for me though
[Nexus 6P Android Development] GCbard:
But even the beta might overwrite some security updates. No?

Also, can I fastboot flash the system file and not erase data?
[Nexus 6P Android Development] ultyrunner:
As long as you are on up-to-date stock, you won't overwrite any core stock stuff AFAIK. The mod was built to flash on top of a stock ROM. If what you're really asking is whether you can be on cataclysm and still take OTA updates, that's not possible because you will have a custom recovery for flashing. If you were looking to remain totally stock with cataclysm, then you'd have to use fastboot/adb. There are toolkits available and commands which will allow you to flash individual images if you want to go that route, but many simply prefer flashing a zip and avoiding the hassle.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] adrman:
The radio is the same as the previous factory image. So is the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] LiquidSolstice:
Ah. Thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
Well the new radio is the same version as the December security release from what I saw.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] azsl1326:
Any ideas as to why Okay Google wouldn't work? Not responsive to my voice at all, including when attempting to train it.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] yung40oz84:
I am still looking for clarification on how to switch kernels? If re flash the mod, then SuperSU 2.66, then new kernel is that sufficient, I'm sure it probably won't be good idea, lol!
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
Yes, flash the Mod, new kernel, then SuperSU 2.66.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] rtthane:
Yes, the img files are extracted from the latest image and flashed via fastboot commands, not in twrp. Loads of information on these forums.

The process I posted worked for me, but would suggest if you are learning that you know how to dig yourself out of a hole before trying anything in case it goes wrong.

[Nexus 6P Android Development] Krunk83:
Wait, I thought the whole point of the mod was to make things easier. Your last mod was version MMB29M and now with 29P I have to fully wipe and install a fresh cataclysm ROM? Am I missing something?

Sent from my Nexus 6P
[Nexus 6P Android Development] nathanchance:
No, just dirty flash the full stable zip for MMB29P over your MMB29M installation. There should be no problems with dirty flashing but just make sure to backup before you do.
[Nexus 6P Android Development] Ulver:
Works great on the new build!
