Yes, the 2/12 Nightly worked fine for me. I just set it up last night. I flashed the factory image first before installing CM.
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
It contains proprietary drivers for the devices.
[Nexus 5X General] nexusguy4:
Success with 20160212

Thank you! I think that did it. In the meantime, I had manually patched to the latest Google firmware (vs. what they shipped it with 3 days ago), but I doubt that was relevant. I think this all came down to needing to NOT format /data between the stock and CM roms. I also flashed gapps in the same TWRP session, and I was finally able to boot.
[Nexus 5X General] Spinergy02:
What all do you need to flash to get CM working properly from bone stock? I've gone back several pages and can't seem to find links to vendor.img, and I remember posts a while back with the packages required to get Fi working with proper network switching but can't seem to find that now either. The official CM guide doesn't mention anything about additional files to flash either.
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
You only need cm, gapps and vendor. And you don't need vendor if you have installed newest stock before.
[Nexus 5X General] Spinergy02:
Which gapps seems to be working the best so far? Would I need to flash a new vendor package every time there's a new security update or just when an actual Android version change occurs? Sorry to ask so many questions, but I want to make sure I do the first flash right so I don't have to start over again later.

Edit: and the official CM installation guide is quite lacking in this information =/
[Nexus 5X General] gee one:
I would recommend flashing the vendor image after each security update. These are rolling out monthly now and can be downloaded directly from google when they are available. Otherwise, you will get the "dude there's a problem with your device, contact the manufacturer" message at boot.

I think there are few options for updating vendor.img:

* fastboot- easy, works from the command line

* someone might have packaged a flashable zip

* I think TWRP can flash the vendor.img from recovery.

The vendor.img file is in a zip file, in the rom update, which is distributed as a tar file. I think windows can open the file but maybe not? When in doubt, use linux.

If you are on the unrooted stock ROM, the updates are all done via the OTA. If you are rooted or modified the system in any way (at the *block* level, not the file level), the OTA will fail.

The security features in Marshmallow are changing the landscape on how we flash and update our phones. I think a lot of people missed the change.

As far as gapps goes, If you are going to flash gapps, I recommend opengapps.org - choose arm64, 6.0 for the nexus 5x.
[Nexus 5X General] Semicuda:
I might be missing something, but I can't get CM to work for the life of me. Whatever I try, I end up getting stuck at the Google splash screen. Did a factory reset, flashed vendor.img, then nightly and opengapps. Also tried ElementalX, nothing helps. Other Roms like Chroma or PureNexus work just fine. Am I stupid? :o
[Nexus 5X General] allard1997:
I flashed nightly 0214 but when my device finished booting I ended up with this popup (look attachment)

It doesn't matter how many times you press OK the popup keeps coming back instantly.

Does anyone else also have this?
[Nexus 5X General] OhioYJ:
Just got down flashing 0214 actually, works fine for me.

Before this flash, I updated

Bootloader

Radio

Vendor Image

Then flashed as usual:

- Full wipe (data / cache/ dalvik), including formatting /system

- Install CM

- Install OpenGapps

- FedPatcher so I can stay decrypted.

- Vendor-build-pro fix, just to make sure I don't get the other message.

Usually any time I have an issue, it's trying to dirty flash.
[Nexus 5X General] smoki3:
Flash the vendor image from the factory images via fastboot. The zips from xda doesnt work correctly.

[Nexus 5X General] chris@r5:
Download the latest factory image, extract the Vendor.img. Flash it with TWRP 3.0.

I had the same headache, and this seems to do the trick.

Ambient Display

still experience ambient display backlight glow issue with latest nightly.

in the dark it's well seen. nothing, but black background at minimal backlight.

ElementalX kernel with sweep2wake + 30min timeout.

Daydream is off. some minimal battery build.props that shouldn't affect it.

anyone actually using ambient display as daily driver and sure it doesn't glow randomly at night etc?
[Nexus 5X General] nitinvaid:
To solve the internal problem error can I flash the latest vendor image bcoz last time I flashed it bootlooped and have to flash the rom again the stock one
[Nexus 5X General] allard1997:
I already had my bootloader, radio and vendor up-to-date.

When I flashed 0214 and got the error I flashed 0212 back and it booted.

Now I dirty flashed 0214 again a few minutes ago and surprisingly it booted fine.

Don't know what happened but it works :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5X General] Semicuda:
Thanks guys, I'll give it a try!
[Nexus 5X General] gjobjo:
How do I install FedPatcher, and where do I download it for Nexus 5x? :)
[Nexus 5X General] OhioYJ:
Download it here.

Then just flash it before you boot. So flash CM13, then Gapps as normal, then flash FedPatcher, then boot as normal.

Remember though you need to format data though if it was already encrypted, so make sure you back everything up, as you need to wipe everything to get rid of the existing encryption.

When done correctly, in settings under Encryption you will now have the option to Encrypt phone, as it won't be already.
[Nexus 5X General] OhioYJ:
Perhaps I've missed something obvious, but I have one a complaint across updating. Every update I do a full wipe and format /system. This seems to eliminate the random issues dirty flashing creates sometimes. However is there any way to backup all the individual system settings so I don't have to go back through every menu individually, every privacy menu and set permissions and such. Is there a way to backup all these settings ? I can't find anything in TitaniumBackup that seems to work.

The other thing I've noticed is on some devices sometimes Google will recognize the device and re-install apps that were last there, however most of the time I have to go back into all apps and manually click on every app that I want re-installed. Is there a way to make Google give me the option to restore the device as it was yesterday ?
[Nexus 5X General] Annita:
Had (and still have) an issue with my Nexus 4 with TWRP 3.0.0 (I just upgraded from 2.8.7) and CM13 (nightly 20160206).

The issue is that I have setup a lock via pattern the access to the tablet with a 4x4 pattern code, and it's working fine to access the N5X; but on TWRP, even choosing the 4x4 pattern and entering it correctly it's failing to decrpyt the data and sdcard partitions, so I can't flash new nightlies os access any of my files/folders from TWRP.

Do you know if this is a known issue? Anything that can be done to fix it?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5X General] gobblenutz:
So I'm on newest nightly 2/14 and the only real issue I've noticed is that the "OK Google" always on setting is still broken.

OK Google only works from within the Google app or the home screen. In any other app or with the lock screen/phone asleep "OK google" doesn't work...

This is one of the features I miss from stock anyone get this working by chance?
[Nexus 5X General] gjobjo:
Thanks. I use CyanDelta to install ROM and additional zip(fed_patcher_v8-signed.zip) now and that work great:D
[Nexus 5X General] baka2x:
I have this same issue. Pattern unlock is successful when booting up, but unsuccessful when decrypting data by TWRP. This is with TWRP 3.0.0 and 02/16 nightly. I didn't have this issue with TWRP 3.0.0 and 02/04 nightly.

---------- Post added at 01:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

I would love this, too. I remember AOKP had a way to backup and restore all those system settings way back when. This would save lots of time with privacy guard permissions alone.
[Nexus 5X General] allard1997:
Tried CyanDelta today and seems to work pretty good! It even takes the commits that aren't even in the latest nightly yet. Very nice!

EDIT: Okay nevermind it doesn't take the commits. It does show it in the changelog but it's not in the delta update.

I have had similar trouble, Semicuda. I think it has to do with vender.img needing to be flashed again, for some reason. Try that.

[Nexus 5X General] duukaz:
I'm glad it works for you - for anyone else:

I was still getting stuck on the Google boot logo after upgrading from CM13 Feb 4 build to CM13 Feb 16 build. I tried reflashing the vendor.img, and that did not help. I then restored from a TWRP backup the "boot" partition from the Feb 4 backup, and the device booted right up.

I think it may have to do with SuperSU. My understanding is that the newer SuperSU versions modify the boot partition, and perhaps updating the CM13 build breaks whatever was done to the boot partition by SuperSU. Any other explanations?

I hope this helps those others of you who can't get past the google boot logo after updating CM13 builds.
[Nexus 5X General] allard1997:
Just flash SuperSU everytime when you update to a new nightly and you will be fine.

I'm also doing that and never had any problem with booting.
[Nexus 5X General] sn0warmy:
I've been away from this thread for a while but after coming back and looking through the posts, it appears a lot of people seem to continue having trouble properly installing CM13 and getting it to boot.

I went through the process myself a couple of times to confirm how to get it installed/booted properly every time. I'm guessing most people who are having issues getting the ROM booted or functioning properly are likely on an older vendor.img. I updated the OP with the proper installation instructions based on all the info I compiled from others posting in this thread.

With that said, even though I created this thread, I didn't jump back on the CM bandwagon at all until the 2/22 nightly. I was happy with Pure Nexus and remained on that due to stability concerns and previous bad experiences with CM12 and CM11 on prior Nexus devices. However, in my short stint with CM13, I must say that I have been pleasantly surprised. I've had absolutely no hiccups in my usage and CM has done a great job of cleaning up little nuances that drove me nuts on the stock ROM and on Pure Nexus. (Such as the screen flickering on/off when placing a call or trying to answer a call and the elimination of the obnoxious end call "beep").

The real test for me will come later today when I see how CM13 bluetooth streaming fairs with my car. Bluetooth pairing/streaming has been a nightmare for me on many previous devices with CM10/CM11/CM12 and has always been the real deal breaker. I'm hoping this won't be the case this time around.

EDIT: Bluetooth syncing/streaming with the car is working flawlessly. Looks like I'm finally back on the CM bandwagon! :highfive:

looking to jump on CM for long time, i am quite disappointed in stock, regarding battery and screen on time. Can you please tell how much is difference in battery life and SOT you r getting as compared to stock, recently i did factory reset and did not restore and setup everything new, now i am on 84% and with overnight sleep, and 1 hr SOT already, will wait for your reply.

by the way i am using CM13 on moto g 4g, and man i am so amazed by battery life.

Also if someone explain what is encryption does on Battery life, as seems that both CM and google wants to keep phone encrypted and users like it keep decrypted, why is that.

Hi, many thanks for the OP and your help, there is still something unclear, why would you have to flash factory image, wouldnt it be easier if we dont wipe system and just wipe data/cache/dalvik. and then install CM, dont know if something has changed regarding partition of nexus as coming to nexus line after long time

Is there a good way to tell which AOSP release the current nightly is based upon? I saw the March bugfix/security release patch just went out, and was wanting to stalk the commits for it. It looks like the 5X is going to have quite a few changes compared to normal monthly releases. I'm expecting this to mean the CM release with it might be a bit delayed?

Has anyone tried MHC19J vendor.img, bootloader and radio on CM13? Does it boot? Does it feel any different from MMB29Q?
[Nexus 5X General] Shyciii:
Hi all! I want try CM13, and I read op, but not sure I understand. So can I help me somebody?

1. Do a full wipe -> Data/System/Dalvik/Cache (it's ok)

2. Fastboot Flash the vendor.img file from the most recent factory image (which vendor.img? The newest? Which the newest?)

3. Flash CM13 nightly (its ok)

4. Flash Fed-Patcher. (So I have AOSiP rom on encrypted phone. So if I want decrypted phone (because the real-time encrpting is slow the phone), I flash Fed-Patcher)

5. (Optional) Flash Open GApps. (Why optional? The rom contains gapps? Or Why? If dont contains gapps, then must be flash gapps for google sync.)

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5X General] NForce25:
Okay, I can answer to that myself already. Flashed bootloader and radio from mhc19j - everything's OK. But with this vendor.img it throws an error at startup. Tried mmb29v vendor.img too - result is the same. So, latest working vendor is from mmb29q with 2016 03 09 nightly

I previously had the worst camera and ui lag on stock android.

I unlocked the boot loader , got the recovery and installed this rom and couldn't be happier.. I love this rom.. Everything feels snappy.. Even camera is fast.. The only thing concerns me is battery life.. i get around 2.5hrs sot.. This is with elemental x kernel and few tweaks. ymmv
[Nexus 5X General] Donald Nice:
So here we go with encrypted devices... Since cm updated the latest nightly to mmb29v (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/135614/) i first installed the new nightly with old vendor mmb29q and on first boot got the message, that somethings wrong, as expected. I downloaded mmb29v factory and extracted the vendor.img. The bootloader and radio are identical to mmb29q, so no need to flash them. Rebooted to fastboot and installed only the mmb29v vendor.img. Rebootet the device, worked. No failure message on startup, so the vendor flash was successfull.

After that installed new elementalx1.09 and everythings working great.
[Nexus 5X General] allard1997:
Anyone knows why CM updated to MMB29V instead of MHC19J?
[Nexus 5X General] gee one:
FYI I am on a cm nightly using the mmb29v build and the mhc19j vendor image. I get the "internal problem" message at startup. I'm curious if anyone doesn't get the message with the same setup.

I suspect that it is just a mmb > mhc issue when comparing strings.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 AM ----------

I suspect it's because most other devices are on mmb29v. I think the MHC update is specific for nexus 5x and 6p (mhc19i).

I suspect that it will be updated in the respective device trees.
[Nexus 5X General] allard1997:
Ah okay, thanks for the info.

I'm also on CM13 20160310 with the MMB29V build but I have the MMB29V vendor.img and it works fine without an error.

What even is the benefit of flashing the MHC19J vendor image right now?
[Nexus 5X General] Jonathan_m84:
