Thanks, I found out what caused that. I've must messed up with APPops settings. I changed value in wakelock option I'm system app. Now everything works perfectly and I wiped again so to disable encryption. Way better than stock. ?
[Nexus 5X General] dryspuri:
I am wondering what is impact of encryption on battery life on CM. does any one experienced any change
[Nexus 5X General] wpbear:
Anyway to show carrier label in top status bar? I like to know when connected to T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling.
[Nexus 5X General] user822:
It is pretty risky to leave your phone with all personal data open to everyone who lays hands on it.
[Nexus 5X General] Mayex:
Not many thieves know how to deal with bootloader, recovery, etc. I have cerberus and if I lost it I can wipe it remotely on 1 minute.

Thieves can to nothing with phone with password anyway only wipe.

My bank app uses encrypted connection so what else can be stolen?
[Nexus 5X General] marsaltito:
True ! But i think "ordinary" people is gone mad with paranoia about security . :cool:
[Nexus 5X General] user822:
Sure, I was just pointing it out. Anandtech was ranting about the performance loss from encryption a bit, but personally I think it is more than worth it.
[Nexus 5X General] Mayex:
Right, it's personal thing. I'd like to see some examples where encryption can help prevent stealing personal data because for my actual knowledge it simply doesn't help at any aspect unless FBI is looking for me.

+ in most cases encryption key is "password" so it doesn't help too.

Camera on screen buttons

Hi,

Do you have the same issue as I do? Should the on screen buttons in camera app be there? Why when I can swipe or pinch to use these actions. Any idea how to disable them?

Thank you!
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
I have no such issue, no.. Sorry
[Nexus 5X General] user822:
Is the camera super noisy for anyone else using the CM camera?

Iso 800 is complete garbage, but even Iso 60 has some problems.
[Nexus 5X General] Oscarandco:
Hi all. I'm new here and maybe someone spoke about this but I had just flashed the 20160406 build and it's seem that the weather don't work ( on widget and statut bar )...I'm missed something...?
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
Change to open weather.. You can do this in the clock app, widget settings..

Have you flashed the vendor image? I have no such problems..
[Nexus 5X General] user822:
Nope, but when I got the device I got the official OTAs until it hit the build MHC19J, so the vendor parition should be up to date?
[Nexus 5X General] gjobjo:

New Image, can I install vendor.img?

Installed it on my device, didn't break anything.

It is now once more complaining about "internal device problems" when booting, but that seems to be just a warning you can ignore.

Need to update new bootloader and radio or just need to flash the vendor.img (MHC19Q)?
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
Depends on what Bootloader and Modem you have. So it doesn't hurt.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 5X mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 5X General] Shyciii:
I have MHC19J, the previous version.
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
Mhc19j is only the vendor but the Bootloader didn't change since mhc19j. So if you flashed the Bootloader and Modem from mhc19j last time you don't need to update Bootloader and Modem now. But it would not hurt.. So flash it and be happy if you are unsure.

You can also reboot to Bootloader and check the Installed Bootloader and Modem and compare.

Newest are:

Bootloader bhz10m

Modem / Radio m8994f-2.6.31.1.09

What is wrong with hotpluggin on my device.

I checked with Kernel Adiutor, but all the cores are online all the time.

Can this be fixed?
[Nexus 5X General] tibere86:
+1 . The sound output is so treble-y now.
[Nexus 5X General] razorloves:
It was accidentally removed. Problem is fixed and will be back in next nightly.
[Nexus 5X General] Blash85:
Greetings.

I'm gonna flash CM13 soon on my device, and I intend to stick to "release" versions only.

How do I have to behave with vendor.img file? Can I flash it even if it is newer than CM release? Or is it better to keep the latest released before the CM release I'm using?

I hope my question was clear enough. Thanks!
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
I would say, flash the vendor img that matches the release version. Each month at the beginning of the month there is a new vendor, so flash the one that matches the date..
[Nexus 5X General] Blash85:
Thanks, but which one has to be ahead to avoid problems? Newer CM or newer vendor?

CM13 Snapshots

cm-13.0-20160319-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO1T5-bullhead.zip -> MMB29V

Nightlies < 07.04.2016 -> MHC19J
[Nexus 5X General] Strikkt:
Does this mean I have to flash a new vendor image manually every month? Or just before first install of CM and then I can just update the ROM OTA when a new snapshot is released?
[Nexus 5X General] ms2870:
Nexus 5x Bricked?

===

SOLVED - No clue how, but suddenly it allowed me to install TeamWin again, which made all other things very easy.

Fideled around with Andorid SDK and choosing a device in the developer environment.

===

I hope someone can help me!

Background:

I followed the instructions on cyanogenmod.org and did all the steps.

Unfortunately it ended with CyanogenMod booting forever (even over a whole night).

I tried restoring/removing/reinstalling things a couple of times under TeamWin Recovery.

When switching to "Recovery Mode" I suddenly did not get the TeamWin Recovery anymore, but "CM recovery", which is very limited.

I then found the instruction here, about getting the vendor.img on the phone first - which was too late apparently.

Problem:

It seems I deleted the ADB authorization somewhere on the way when trying to get CM working and resetting things.

My device now shows up as "unauthorized" when using ADB. I did the "kill-server" / "start-server" thing.

The "adbkey" file is on my computer, so it seems the key or setting on the phone is lost.

As Android does not work I cannot reauthorize the phone in the settings menu.

As CM recovery does not allow to simply install other CM or Android packages this is not an option either.

As I cannot fastboot without being authorized, I can also not install TeamWin recovery anymore or do anything else.

In short: CM does still not boot and ADB does not work anymore - only CM Recovery is available to me.

Questions:

How can I get out of this circle?

Either getting the authorization again (without having Android on the phone), getting back to TeamWin or something else that allows to install a working Android?

Is there some option to get the relevant files/settings to run CM on the phone via the "ADB update" of "CM recovery"?
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
Guess your bootloader is broken. Flash a kernel that modifies your bootloader or flash original bootloader, if you can get it on your phone...
[Nexus 5X General] ms2870:
SOLVED - See Posting #650

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

This was my original intention after the CM stuff did not lead anywhere.

The "if you can get it on your phone" is the problem: Since ADB says "unauthorized" I cant do the "fastboot" thing...

I was wondering if e.g. (a) one can get the "authorization" back or (b) get the issue that makes CM boot forever solved via applying an update via ADB in the CM recovery (e.g. a nightly where the boot loop does not happen or the original Nexus factory image) - maybe this could work if done the right way?
[Nexus 5X General] russjr08:
Anyone having any issues with tons of soft reboots? I can't even get past the setup wizard.

Edit: Don't know if it was a bad nightly, or bad build of gapps, but I updated both and it all seems to be working now!

Released new Snapshot: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/ge...3.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NH-bullhead.zip
[Nexus 5X General] Blash85:
Flashed latest vendor.img and latest snapshot.. Now I am getting the famous internal problem message. Anyone know why? I thought the vendor.img file from the latest system image was the right one for the latest snapshot..

Edit: I read the build.prop discrepancy that causes that error message.. I checked the build.prop file in my /system directory and it still shows MMB29, so apparently that one is still the matching vendor.img, and not the latest one.

Am I right?

Edit2: Solved with this fix: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-9/development/fix-build-prop-variety-fix-aka-contact-t3133347

Next time I will check the build.prop of the rom to verify which is the matching vendor.img.
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
New Snapshot also need MMB29V as vendor. Check build.prop of the Snapshot to verify, if you want.
[Nexus 5X General] Blash85:
Too late, I already flashed the MHC19Q one.. anyway, everything seems to be working fine..
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
You flashed the fix, thatswhy everything seems to be fine. But flashing the fix is only cosmetic. I would reflash the matching vendor, but it's up to you. Next month you will have the same problem.
[Nexus 5X General] Blash85:
Downgrading vendor.img could not lead to any problem? If not, I'll proceed.
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
Nope, there will be no problem in downgrading the vendor. If you are unsure wait for next snapshot.
[Nexus 5X General] Blash85:
I checked out of curiosity: latest nightly says MHC19Q in build.prop. Maybe it will be the same for the next snapshot. I'm thinking about leaving things as they are. What could be the problems?

I searched around but found no precise answer, so I'll ask here: what function has the vendor.img content? How does it interact with the ROM? I only found people writing that it's about vendor specific files, like hardware drivers. But I'm not very sure about that, since I don't know if it contains also bootloader and radio (seems not).

I hope these questions will be useful to many.

EDIT: Maybe this in the OP has to be changed, since it can be misleading:

"Clean install

- Do a full wipe (Data/System/Dalvik/Cache)

- Fastboot Flash the vendor.img file from the most recent factory image (only needed once per monthly factory image update)"

Something like "flash the matching vendor.img file after checking build.prop of the ROM zip". Just an idea.
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
Maybe none, only the cm-devs will know, why they didnt use the newest vendor-files.

The vendor indeed has different vendor-specific files in it, like proprietary drivers. And it does not contain bootloaders or modems. Just extract and check a stock rom. You will find a bootloader.img, a modem.img the verndor.img and other files. So it really only contains verndor specific driver files.

You dont need to flash the file to know which verndor is used... You can extract the zip of the rom before flashing and read the build.prop.
[Nexus 5X General] princechrming:
My device soft reboots when I place a call or randomly.

I did a clean install.

Coming from PureNexus ROM.

And I flashed the appropriate vendor image too before installing cm 13 (new snapshot)

And I cant get a notification..

[Nexus 5X General] alex3456:
Hi,

please help me: I installed Cyanogem Mod 13 on my new Nexus5x. Everything worked until I rebooted the system after installing the zip (I tried both, the latest nightly and the latest release).

When I reboot, I see both Google warnings and then the Cyanogen Start Screen. But the startscreen stays there and nothing happens... What could I do? I already searched the Internet but did not find a solution..

Thanks, Alex
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:
Latest April 18 snapshot has a problem with vendor build, I even tried it with March stock ROM and got the same error message.

Now on April 28 nightly but it has a minor problem with showing favourite contacts on it's way to get fixed.

I can confirm April 26 + 27 nightlies are great and stable. Highly recommended as daily drivers. By the way, I use open gapps micro.
[Nexus 5X General] Maxd195:
Are you flashing the latest vendor image?
[Nexus 5X General] alex3456:
Nightly of 27 does not work on my n5x either.

Perhaps I am doing something fundamentally wrong?

Could I check somehow, e. g. if I have the right files in my filemanager?

What I did so far (in different combinations ;)

1.) I download the Cyanogem Mod Build on the left side of this page:

download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=bullhead

Than I put it on the /sdcard/ Directory of my n5x

2.) I wipe all data (Dalvik, System, data, Cache)

Once I even wiped "Internal Storage". Could there be missing something now?

3.) Than I install the zip-file from /sdcard/

There is no error message, but I think it is a really fast install (around 20seconds).

There is also no installation menu.

After the "Done" I wipe again Cache and Dalvik and then reboot the system.

4.) Than I am stuck in the boot loop...
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:
April 18 snapshot needs vendor.IMG from March. Anyways, I tried it with both and got the same error message.

By the way, I am using twrp 3.0.2.0 from https://dl.twrp.me/bullhead/

With encryption fully supported.

---------- Post added at 07:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

1- Flash latest stock image, reboot, then enable USB debugging again and check it is working.

2- Flash Twrp 3.0.2.0 from https://dl.twrp.me/bullhead/

3- Reboot bootloader into twrp recovery

4- Wipe / factory reset

5- Adb Sideload Cm13 (I recommend April 26/27 nightlies so far)

6- Flash latest opengapps of your choice. (Micro and smaller ones won't replace the new Cm13 snap camera)

7- Reboot device and enjoy a cup of coffee while it boots for the first time.

8- I am using Ubuntu 16.04, fastboot and adb fully supported without wasting my time to install anything. Fastboot needs su permissions though.
[Nexus 5X General] alex3456:
Thanks Rami!

What I did in between:

I flashed the latest factory image and am now running android version 6.0.1 , android security patch level April 2, 2016, kernel version 3.10.73-g637810b (tue Mar 22). Build number MHC19Q

Some questions:

Wipe only the factory reset or more?

ADB sideload or could i also put it on /sdcard/ and install it from there (I am more experienced this way ;)

Do you think GAPPs are necessary that installation of CM13 works? I would prefer a phone with as few google as possible...

Do you recommend a nightly instead of the snapshot when I don't want to flash often again?

I am still using Ubuntu 15.10 ;) I execute the fastboot commands always with a "sudo" in front... Is that a good way?
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:
I do it as recommended by CM13 :

Since you will unlock bootloader after installing stock, data will be wiped

Reboot - enable USB debugging - reboot into recovery - flash twrp

Go to twrp - factory reset

Then back to recovery main menu

Just while on recovery main screen, run:

adb push cm13nightlyxyz.zip /sdcard/

adb push opengappsxyz.zip /sdcard/

And if you want the least Google footprint, go flash open gaps pico ( don't forget to select ARM64 open gaps)

Just updated to April 29 nightly and dialer now shows favourite contacts correctly.

My advice is to go for a good nightly now and wait till next snapshot as April 18 snapshot didn't play well on my phone

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 AM ----------

I can confirm CM13 April 29 feels much faster and runs smooth on nexus 5X (bullhead).

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Ubuntu 16.04 is my advice. Now the best.
[Nexus 5X General] alex3456:
Thanks! This helped a lot. I am now on Nightly 29.

How can I be sure, that a Nightly has no serious bugs, when I will update to a new nightly through the CM Updater?
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
If you want to make sure, wait for halve a day after a nightly has been released and check the forums. Otherwise, take the risk of flashing nightlies..
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:
Read the changelog at: https://www.cmxlog.com/13/bullhead/

Or for better reading use this application from play store:

I hope all Nexus 5X users who use CM13 will share their experience here so that other users will know what to expect with nightlies or even snapshots.

If you found my latter comments and steps useful kindly give me your feedback / click thank you button :)
[Nexus 5X General] alex3456:
;) Did not know the thankyou Button!

Thank you for your help. I am enjoying my n5x now.

Only thing I am not sure if it is right is my lockscreen. There are only the numbers for entering the pin. But no clock, no status bar...

I had CM10 on an other phone before and had all these things... Now lockscreen is really unusable...
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:
You are quite welcome :)

Lock screen shows it all using fingerprint, try that and see if it works.
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:

re: error: Your device software can't be checked for corruption"

Hi all

I've had complete success flashing CM13 on moto devices, tried it on my nexus 5x today - grabbed latest TWRP for bullhead, flashed it no issues, but getting an error message now:

Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please relock the bootloader.

I had the April security patch on the nexus 5x (6.0.1)

Any ideas?

Flashed 04/18 snapshot for bullhead (nexus 5x). My security settings doesn't have a fingerprint section. Any ideas? ( Shows build MMB29X )
[Nexus 5X General] Cave_diver:
Which recent build can be considered stable? I'd like to give CM another test.
[Nexus 5X General] BitterBuffaloh:
Hmm, dunno. I'm installing the latest Snapshot with the proper vendor image (MMB29V) . As nightlies got a bit un-reliable.

Edit - But this latest snapshot is a mystery as I get a vendor image error on boot even though I have the right vendor image.
[Nexus 5X General] nitinvaid:
the only problem i have in last recent nightly including 2nd/05 too that at startup the dropdown statusbar quick settings wont work it wont come it i have to restart it and after restart its working but again same problem
[Nexus 5X General] BitterBuffaloh:
I'm gonna stay on the 29th nightly until the next snapshot is released. And hopefuly the new snapshot won't have a 3 month old vendor image and a mixed up vendor image.
[Nexus 5X General] imilne:
You want the lock screen settings for fingerprint stuff, not security.
[Nexus 5X General] rami.hantouli:
I am back to stock rom- May update released. Use my device as a daily driver and have no time now to keep checking nightlies and yes: 18 April is a riddle, tried with all vendor images with no use.

Another thing I don't like about CM13 is the sound quality of notifications / in general.

Snap camera: I tried it with different settings but the quality is distorted with noise.

Battery on the other hand seems better than stock to me.

May 2 / 1 were stable enough.
[Nexus 5X General] BitterBuffaloh:
I do sort of agree and frustrating that Snapshot even has some issues as it would be nice to be on a stable track. Yesterday was slightly frustrating where both my phone (Was on Resurection Remix but it took me forever to research what CM13 is stable enough to go back to) and my car decided to go on the fritz. There was a moment I flashed to stock Android and decided just to use stock, but that lasted only about 10 minutes..
[Nexus 5X General] nitinvaid:
no one has problem in status bar?its just me? sometimes quick settings wont open.

I tried todays nightly 04/05

with full wipe same issue randomly but whats strange is no lockscreen no matter i reboot or use power button to lock
[Nexus 5X General] user822:
This maybe?

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189826
[Nexus 5X General] nitinvaid:
m issue is if lock screenworks then the quick settings wont open i mean it wont drop down if quicksettings work then there is no lock screen i am sticking to 22nd nightly it was good for me
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Today I have flashed CM on my nexus 5x, build 20150504 . To my surprise I found that though the May update of AOSP is released already, the build.prop of 20150504 is showing MHC19Q instead of the MAY build number. I am currently using APRIL's vendor.img with this build. Should I flash MAY's vendor.img now? Or I have to wait till cyanogenmod update the build number in their upcoming nightlies? Please help.
[Nexus 5X General] Ritwyk:
The build will update to MTC19T in the next nightly (after 20160505). You can flash the May vendor.img then.
[Nexus 5X General] thenessus:
It may sound stupid, but my issue with CM13 is the "edit" tile in quick settings. Can't get rid of this tile. I only edit tiles once after flashing, I don't want it up there all the damn time.

That's enough for me to drive me crazy and not use it.

Yes that's stuid.

And pages for quick settings is even more annoying.
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Hurray then! :) I am on 20150505 now..I guess I have to wipe everything and flash from scratch (flash vendor > flash full cm build > erase data/complete wipe)..or it will be okay if I dirty flash the vendor.img (fastboot) and then the new nightly (only dalvik/cache wipe, data untouched)?
[Nexus 5X General] Ritwyk:
Wipe cache, flash CM, flash vendor. Data wipe isn't necessary.
[Nexus 5X General] NForce25:
I flashed 05.05 build right after spending a week with a 04.27 and noticed immediately, that sound has become much more silent. Like 50% more silent on max volume setting. Has anyone else noticed that?
[Nexus 5X General] Ritwyk:
Lots of random reboots on the 20160506 nightly. Anybody else?
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Nope, I used moderately for a day, no reboots here. (CM+ Latest Vendor+ Open Gapps + Xposed for MM.).. Are you sure you are using 20160506 ?

Sound through loudspeaker is indeed lower than stock :( But I don't want to go for viper4android. Will tinker with audiofx a bit for now and see.
[Nexus 5X General] philneo2:
Hello

[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
What values do you suggest? Kind you please mention which lines do I change for nexus 5x? I read some tutorials and those are mentioning to change RX7 from <PATH NAME="SPEAKER"> .
[Nexus 5X General] Ritwyk:
Yes, and then I updated to the next nightly, and the same issue persisted. I used the latest vendor (MTC19T), the latest Xposed (v84) and the latest SuperSU (2.71). What versions of Xposed (and SuperSU) did you install?

Additionally, does anyone know why the build number description shows MOB30J, which is the the May 6.0.1 build number for the 2013 Nexus 7 devices? Shouldn't it show MTC19T, the May build number for the 5X?
