At least it means we don't have to risk our own phones :p

No worries. Yeah, it's odd. I downloaded the file and inspected it and all it seems to be is the base files from the May update, the boot image from January and the Cataclysm files from the January update. I haven't compared the file sizes, etc, to January's Cata update but I'm willing to bet at least a couple of the files are a different sizes or compiled on different dates, meaning anything malicious could have been injected into them.
[Android General] magnamentis:
perhaps it was well meant, just did not work, who knows but if so we gonna find out. to be honest i doubt that it would be easy to copy his work

without guidance. my dream would be that all OEMs would use stock AOSP and add their stuff this way, that would make for fast updates, just considering that it took him only a few hours to update and then the stability, i thinks some OEMs could save millions by adopting the approach as such. BTW, THAT is the original part of it, not a center clock or anything like that, but that's for positive thinkers only :)

Did you do a clean installation? I have tried multiple times to just flash system.img and then the mod and supersu, and I'm getting constant app crashes every time.
[Android General] magnamentis:
probably you did not flash the new bootloader 20f

there is more or less a standard procedure which is safe and should not be short-circuited to safe a minute or two, won't pay off in the long run.

always check the numbers of the radio and the bootloader. if they don't match flash the bootloader first, then fastboot reboot bootloader and only when the new number appears in the bootloader screen continue with the radio, then boot.img then system

then boot into recovery and flash the rest.
[Android General] SteveMurphy:
I did a complete clean install. In other words I flashed back to stock (the new image w/bootloader), re-rooted then flashed the mod. No issues at all.

I'm not entirely sure flashing the bootloader is necessary, but it couldn't hurt.

One other thing I should mention is I do not use SuperSU anymore. Instead I use this [MENTION=1915408]phhusson[/MENTION]'s method...

[Android General] jineshpatel30:
Always flash all the things except (data.img & cache.img) when "upgrading" rom. (When you are just "updating" it's okay to flash only system.img...for example some custom rom's delta updates )

But security patchs are not delta, they upgrades you bootloader & radio as well so you need to flash all thing except data.img & cache.img to get all things working properly.

My sequence

Wipe system, delvik , cache

Reboot bootloader

Flash bootloader

Reboot bootloader

Flash radio

Flash boot

Flash system

Optional

Flash SuperSU

Flash custom kernel
[Android General] magnamentis:
while radios are very compatible, new bootloaders should be flashed because in many cases they are mandatory for new versions to work.

this time we received a new bootloader for hammerhead (20f) for sure which is a minor update hence could work. generally i think it's not work the hassle not to flash new bootloaders and radios. takes 1 minute longer and one is on the safe side, especially as far as bootloaders are concerned.

[Android General] NLBeev:
In the thread of Danvdh is a link to new bootloader and radio.

Fastboot flash both IMG to my N6 and now I have radio 34R. (Before flashing the new ROM of Danvdh)

Further I flashed the cata-mod partly (without boot.img, telecom and teleservice)

Running without issues till now.

Before I flashed the ROM the system partition was wiped.

EDIT

Because I did not flash the complete cata-mod the cata-network-mode switches in the quick menu dies not work.

Nexus 5 link in OP is broken. :(
[Android General] magnamentis:
no it isn't. you can verify by trying the same link from your desk/laptop computer.

even though it's a guess i assume you tried to use the link from a mobile app and as we all know those apps, for reasons i still don't fully understand, sometimes cannot access websites that work otherwise normally.

just try again, it will eventually work, use another browser, there is nothing one can do unfortunately :(
[Android General] VQ30DE:
Thanks, I suspected that and copied the link and pasted into Chrome on my phone and it still didn't work. The others did. Will try again on my computer.
[Android General] magnamentis:
yeah, if the link for some reason is broken in an app you just copy paste a broken link, if anything you would have to access XDA via chrome app directly and try from there but again, try from your lap/desktop, to avoid an embarrasing situtation i tried at least 10 times from here and it connected properly each time. tested chrome, safari as well as firefox

[Android General] VQ30DE:
For the benefit of people like me who only do this every few months and always forget the exact procedure :), here is a detailed summary of how to flash the latest Android factory image without wiping your data or custom recovery, and then installing Cataclysm MOD on top. This assumes you have ADB installed on your computer and know how to use it, custom recovery on your phone, unlocked phone, etc.

1. Download latest Android factory image for your device (on computer, not phone)

2. Check hash if you like

3. Open compressed files and extract the bootloader*.img, radio*.img, boot.img, and system.img to your ADB directory

4. Reboot to recovery

5. Wipe Dalvik, cache, and system

6. Reboot to bootloader

7. Via fastboot (from computer with phone connected via USB; replace with other version numbers depending on which you downloaded):

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-hammerhead-hhz20f.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.2.29.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

8. Reboot to recovery

9. Flash Cataclysm January 5 mod

10. Flash custom kernel if you like

11. Flash SuperSU if you want root

12. Reboot system
[Android General] paolocorpo:
In order to flash cataclysm MOD, kernel and root you have to reinstall recovery custom

SO i think that you have to add another comand line like:

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (where twrp.img is the name of teh recovery custom last version for your device)
[Android General] VQ30DE:
No you don't. The procedure I and others have given specifically avoids flashing the stock recovery.img so there is no need to reflash TWRP or other custom recovery.
[Android General] paolocorpo:
You are right ;)
[Android General] NLBeev:
Nice written procedure. When talking about flashing the cata-mod it may be useful to know the following.

The May update (n6 mob30i) needs a new

Bootloader and Radio.

And among others the framework and telecom stuff has been changed (version 6.0.1).

Below a list of the cata-mod files. Flashing the cata-mod may cause under the hood issues.

------ files that will be overwritten by cata-mod ------

system\

app\NfcNci\NfcNci.apk

etc\security\mac_permissions.xml

framework\framework-res.apk

framework\services.jar

lib\libandroid_runtime.so

[Android General] VQ30DE:
Yeah, as Cata Mod gets older and older I worry about that. Anyone have any suggestions for an alternative? I have stopped using themes and root so really the main things I would miss if I went pure stock would be quick PIN unlock, cursor control in the nav bar (so helpful), reboot options, and swipe to sleep. Any other ROMs/mods (or apps) that could do this while maintaining latest security updates? And are fast like stock? When I switched to Cataclysm from CM12 I noticed a big improvement in speed and responsiveness, but I suppose I could give CM13 a try.

[Android General] luigidk:
Second that.

Switched to PN on my 6P for the same reasons and I'm only sorry I didn't switch sooner
[Android General] NLBeev:
I am using the prerooted lite stock rom of Danvdh. Version MOB30i.

I partly flashed the cata-mod without the boot.img, telecom/teleservices stuff.

It works, but the network buttons in the quick menu does not.

I think the use of cata-mod will end when Android N is released for my N6.
[Android General] magnamentis:
5x and 6p don't work, 5 and 6 there are zero issues

should anyone encounter sudden issues it's due to recent playservices update and is not rom specific happens on many roms and devices currently.

- those who use amplify, revert to default settings for a day or two and re-add limits until things start to misbehave

- all others, clear app data for google playservices and google service framework

everyone (some did) should always mention the device, we're currently dealing with 5 devices, 4, 5, 6, 5x and 5p

best and closest to cata alternative is stock+gravity box, PN is a rom not a mod and has it's downsides while it's a good rom for sure.

[Android General] magnamentis:
keep track of google play services that were recently updated and cause issues for some like:

- battery drain _ solution attempt no.1 is to clear data for play services as well as service framework and de-greenify playstore if it was greenified

- amplify setups that cause FCs for messenger and other core apps _ solution is to reset amplify to default, all problems gone and one can go from there to re-limit in increments

after the above changes my battery consumption in idle is back to pre-update level and the system is running smooth and FC-free like before

both above issues and troubleshooting apply to both, nexus 5 and nexus 6 and BTW worked for OPO and OP2 as well.
[Android General] till22:
Thanks, sounds an awful lot like "battery was better on January images" :confused:

I'll install the Cataclysm mod + EX now and see what it gives :) Thanks for the suggestions, though!
[Android General] magnamentis:
no, nothing to do with the rom only with playservices that update independently, my current idle drain is 5% in 24hours longterm test, 0.125% awake, better than any other of my 6 phones and 13 roms i keep current on them. this device is still how things should be
[Android General] till22:
That's right, it's quicker than my N5X. Device is currently booting with Cataclysm mod on top of latest factory image, SuperSU 2.65 and EX kernel. I'm really happy to have a functioning N5 again!:victory:

Possibly, but try something first: turn off Wi-Fi, reboot, recharge and evaluate battery life again... But do not turn Wi-Fi on!

Hello after the last security patch, my Nexus 5 is always awake. I clean all the data and got the same wakelock on Google Play Services.

Anyone?

Thanks
[Android General] magnamentis:
it's the playservices update, had the same thing after months of top idle drain ( 5% in 24h idle ) once of a sudden playservices kept that thing awake 100% not 99% grrrr.....

for now i changed to resurrection remix until i read that is ironed out. happens almost every major playservices update, probably a clean install will do when the next version will come with correct combo included. clearing data of GPS and GSF did not help. did not have the issue on nexus 6 though.

what i'm saying is that you're not alone, every thread i follow has people with this issue while i think the culprit is not yet widely accepted, will take some time till people understand that they can't do much but clean install with latest playservices included in rom or gapps.

it's not that playservices themselves are faulty but in some cases ( user setups ) there is a compatibility issue.
[Android General] till22:
I clean flashed the May update + Cataclysm + EX kernel and my N5 sleeps like a baby. The battery (of my specific N5) is bad, but if I check in the battery stats I get max 4-5% awake (BetterBatteryStats).
[Android General] magnamentis:
4-5% would be too much for my, i got 1.25% awake and anything above 3% will get troubleshooted. hardware plays a role, for example on a snapdragon 810 device i never got lower than 1.85% and that was a fluke, normal would be 2-3% awake on that one. Nexus 6 is in the middle but has the most work to do (most accounts to sync)

Sadly after following this advice, got messages telling me a whole selection of Google applications wouldn't run unless I updated Google play services, photos, maps, Google play music etc
[Android General] jolas:
I managed to stop this wakelock by using 'My Android Tools' and disabling all "SystemUpdate..." instances, in 'Google Play Services' and 'Google Services Framework'.

Did it for every tab (e.g. Service, Broadcast Receiver, Activity, Content Provider).

After reboot, above Wakelock gone and Deep Sleep returned :D
[Android General] magnamentis:
obviously latest playservices update f..ed up a lot for many, while in many threads i follow they still search the culprit in the rom and kernel, i remember a similar situation about a year ago, only that it was immediately commonly agreed upon that it's playservices and it lasted until google fixed it. too many good devs left for good, not only ours and it's showing.

thanks for throwing in your 2cts, at least it's quite clear that something is going on. good luck with workarounds, i will come back with a clean install once the next factory image will be out with the built in play services that will hopefully play better with the then latest iteration :)
[Android General] nunoleite46:

Hello,

I was just given a top tip (read workaround) so can't take any real credit, but it's resolved the widely reported cmasystemupdateservice battery drain from play services we've been experiencing.

This is similar to one of the comments above but more specific.

As a temporarily workaround all you have to do is to re-enable systemupdateservice$receiver with an app like autorun manager, top row of picture below:

This should block the wakelock, though will probably re-enable otas too, not a big deal if you stay updated.

Did this on my device, and certainly appears to have resolved the problem, no sign of the previous drain.

You will need to re-enable this using autorun after every device restart.

Urgent Help Needed

I'm facing weird issue :crying:

some times (randomly ) my N5 takes & shows too much time to charge ...like it shows 12-15 hrs to charge on lock screen and it really charge very very show. i put it in charging for 6 hrs and it only chnaged like 43% and it also discharge very quickly ! :eek: this all thing is very random because some times it also charge NORMALLY (like 1.5-2 hrs for full charge ) and it gives good battery backup 3-4 Hr SOT in this case !!

so i don't know what's the problem.. i'm facing this issue suddenly since last week, to get rid for this very slow charging i need to clean flash rom and then it works "noremally" for some time..and after installing my usual apps from playstore (i'm not restoring from Titaniam backup so i don't think restore is the issue here ) and using phone normally for 2-3 days, this problems stats again ! ...i already "clean" flashed latest factory image + Cata & ElimentalX on sunday...but after running normally for around 2 days this problem started again toda from No where :( :(

any idea what's the cause ? any fix ?

also there is an account named "dummyacoount" in my account section ( i have no idea since when it's there and how it origin but it was there before i clean flashed on Sunday & it's there today as well )

Now i'm clean flashing full stock factory image & try to be on "fully stock" for few days to check if it's software related or not .

if you have any info on this issue plz share bcz it's driving me crazy :o :eek:

you'd have to provide LOGs and post them here as well as in the kernel thread but without huge comment that would seemingly blame the kernel because it's not. only thing is that cata-dev is gone, google won't help, hence the only component with an active dev who can read and understand logs is the kernel developer flar2 LOL

i have never seen such a dummy account, could be malware which would show in a log

could be battery intermittently failing due to it's age

all that is guesswork because even though you describe the problem well, there is not much information for coming to specific conclusions like LOGs and Screenshots
[Android General] magnamentis:
nothing has changed, the question is legit to "seek the truth" the reply is an assumption ( the sure part LOL )

i and others have a specific point in time in mind when we shall clear the question. in my case this won't be until 2 weeks after official N-release, tendency to add another week. that would be the point in time when N-mod would make a first appearance and if that did not happen we shall contact the the developer to verify chance zero or not.

BTW, the truth is that ultimate awareness does not exist but as a an illusion, sorry no offend meant, just couldn't resist to chime in on that one :) because that was totally my field of work for over 40 years :)
[Android General] SlyUK:
When you do make contact with the Dev, if it is possible to find out what rom he actually uses now (it would be a fair question I guess). We are all hoping that he develops it for his own use. Unless of course he has abandoned Android all together and made the switch to another platform.
