From testing with Tasker a while ago, both sending the key and sending intent to Screen Off app were equally fast, if not faster for Screen Off. So I assumed there won't be any benefit to using the key in LMT, but it is indeed faster, so thank you! It works pretty decently now.

Yeah, I know. I thought the delay came from LMT itself and wouldn't have fixed linking Tasker task to it, so I was looking for a different way. Thanks for your detailed answer though. FYI there's really no reason to use SecureSettings to lock device because that ignores Android Smart Lock, unless you don't care for it. You can use Tasker itself to run shell command to mimic the power button: "input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER". However, as I said, sending intent to the app Screen Off via Tasker was a tad faster last time I tried.

both true but i found a workaround for the smartlock thingy, hence choose to stick with the solution that i have for long and works always and across all devices. shell commands may change because button allocation can be different and it was not always that easy to find the right code/number. but yeah, you're right as to no need and then, since i already have it and have my workaround for fingerprint and smartlock issue it's ok for now.

Can I ask what's your workaround for smart lock is?

Who wants to flash, try cata mod and give feedback....;););)
[Android General] magnamentis:
hi, if you have only one or 2 devices the solution with the hardware button code is the best approach, no matter whether you write a shellscript and or do it via an app like LMT.

if you seek a solution that works across the board, simply copy paste into each device's tasker tasks and that works with fingerprint scanner as well as with any smart lock setup and/or apps like "lockdown pro", the approach below is guaranteed to work.

just making sure that this setup is superfluous if you don't mind to type in the pin each time, only needed if you use a screen off feature from an app or via tasker that is not based on the hardware button code but on the "lock" approach which locks your screen the way it comes after a reboot and will ask your for PIN even though fingerprint is set or smart lock is set when it should not ask for PIN. in this cases this solution is perfect because you either can use the shortcuts but unlock with fingerprint as usual and unlock without PIN when in home network or any other smart lock environment.

you find the solution here, even though the titles may suggest it's about something else but it will exactly work that way, with clear and set pin (or password) you have make sure that if you want to set a pin in tasker (secure settings) that you choose PIN while password is default.

[Android General] gitchrodd:
Freaking tasker why didn't I think of that? The biggest pain for me is the amount of ROM jumping I do and resetting all my smart locks. So this will be nice since I can backup all my tasker settings thanks!!!!!
[Android General] magnamentis:
yeah which is why i tend to choose apps and tasker to setup things cross-rom and cross device, currently i have 7 of them and each with 2-4 roms in testing or maintencance. no way to do things in rom settings which are hard to backup reliably and then differ from rom to rom :)

as much as i liked CM system profiles, even those i gave up because they were limiting my choice of roms ( cata for example wouldn't have it LOL ) which is why i set up all the stuff myself.

are you aware that you can make an app for each task so that you don't even need tasker but simpy install the apk on each device to run that thing?
[Android General] gitchrodd:
hold on here your still blowing my mind with this tasker smart lock that is working so much better then the google one. How would i turn these into apks?
[Android General] magnamentis:
just use this plug-in/app i think you'll find your way, it's quite simple, else feel free to ask again

[Android General] magnamentis:
AFAIK that didn't work for March already, hence i doubt it would and which it's possible that no-one even tried. you could try and report back so to contribute to the community but don't forget to make a nandroid of latest working state. i'm currently on MMB29X but on N5 and N6, not on 6p because i don't have that device.
[Android General] DanielF50:
Yeah for the 2nd March update, at least, but it worked on the original March update so I was hoping they screwed something up in the 2nd one that caused the bootloop & was inadvertently fixed it in the April update ;)

I might try if no one posts results in the next few days; I'm not too fused about upgrading from the January update honestly but the added security would be great.

[Android General] Alxoom33:
I tried flashing 29X with Cata Mod on my N6 and restored Nandroid data from 29V and lots of aoos fc'd. So I tried with a clean install, and Setup kept FC'g. I went back to my N preview.
[Android General] MrBrady:
That's odd. I did a clean install with Stock Lite ROM on my N6. Booted, setup everything, then installed the January Cataclysm MOD (not ROM). Runs like a champ with zero issues.
[Android General] Alxoom33:
I thought it was strange, as well. Perhaps there was something unusual with my Nandroid.
[Android General] NLBeev:
On my N6 also fc's, without cata mod wwith MMB29X. I had to reboot after flashing MMB29X and delete SU and Calender.

Reflashed SU - reboot - reinstalled calender from play Store. Now MMB29X is running OK.
[Android General] magnamentis:
but you are aware that for others including myself there were no FCs and what that means ? ;)

it's definitely not the mod that is causing FC's, works as good as always and has installed as easy as allways.

no resores from TiBu or such? there is a reason for the issues you were facing and i'm just guessing.

however once you find the time you'll try again and only restore user app data, no matter with which tool, because too much has changed GAPPS wise.
[Android General] Alxoom33:
I tried with and without restoring data from my Nandroid 29V. It may be the install. I used Flashfire to install boot and system from 29X. Then when I got FCs I wiped data and tried to reinstall Super Su 2.7.1 and EX 4.0.1 I got the system up but I got FC setup app. So I'm back on N. Probably to stay.
[Android General] magnamentis:
i took the old fashioned fastboot approach and i had similar behaviour with SSU 2.71 but none with SSU 2.68. can't explain since i lack the skills to explain SSU issues but at least i can post my observations, perhaps it helps and i've seen others posting FCs after flashing 2.71 as well as the system booting into safe mode at times.
[Android General] Alxoom33:
Thank you. That explains a lot! I may try 2.68 when I am able and see if I get better results.[emoji4]
[Android General] magnamentis:
you'd have to fastboot flash the stock boot.img first because superSU makes a backup of previous root method etc. hence i strongly recommend to full unroot from within SU app, then boot into recovery and flash the stock boot.img and then root again with SSU 2.68 ( MM ) for N you need 2.71 of course LOL good luck
[Android General] luigidk:
Since cata is dead on my 6p, if i flash all the steps with the new factory image, but leave out the cata mod, am i basically back to stock? Though I'll likely still root and add some other mods...

What rom are cata users finding the most palatable? Unfortunately DU isn't an option as ir doesn't support AP
[Android General] magnamentis:
currently i think the last working version, MMB29V i think it is for the 6p, would be my choice because function and stability i would value higher than minor updates without which it was working before as well without that anyone died LOL.

the question here is newest ist best or function over buzz.

however, that's personal choice, while second choice, closest to the cata-mod would be stock + gravitybox, but i think that there will be no

way that xposed would work with android pay.

generally AP is limiting choice against zero if one wants at least a few basics features, hence my first choice mentioned above.

apart of that i think that i've seen a few pure nexus users having AP work.
[Android General] luigidk:
Thx, pure nexus seems to be the common choice based on my criteria.

As more and more security patches come out at some point I'll just have to move on. ????
[Android General] magnamentis:
that's google's opinion and we all have to ponder a bit whether we want ot adopt (believe) it. after all we are using android devices for years without all that each user has to decide how important that stuff is for him, that withing the confinements google is putting on us in an ever increasing an enforcing manner.

for me, my phone is still a phone with features and i have no critical data stored on it. my critical data are on 256bit encrypted disk images on my mac and some selected stuff is in the cloud while i will be able to change the 4 or 5 main passwords within a few minutes.

but as i hinted before, use cases are of a huge range and last but not least many employed folks have to comply with company rules.

further the guys over at PN were part of the intrigue that got us loose the best ever rom/mod and even though i tried it out to see (it's ok) it's the last thing i would make my daily, this is out of principle, another one of those personal prefs and not possible for users with matter of fact restrictions and/or limitations of any kind.

It's strange for me to say this but after Cataclysm I actually don't have any desire to go back to custom roms, and would stay on stock with mods, if not Cata.

And btw, the issue I mentioned earlier, with my phone losing network (Nexus 5), seems to not be related to Cataclysm. As expected…

gathering input, who knows when it become a good thing to know :) have a nice sunday
[Android General] Arstoien:
I don't know if it'll be helpful to anyone else but sure:

I'm still undecided between several options:

1. hardware issue with the sim card port not connecting too well with the sim card itself. Strange that if that's the case, it gets fixed with a reboot. (Doesn't with toggling aeroplane mode or network settings).

2. sim card issue – will try in a week with my new sim card and will know for sure if that's the culprit.

3. Something wonky related to the phone's radio, don't know yet. Flashed the latest one, still investigating. It's very unpredictable. Sometimes it'll be several times a day, other times – days without issue.

just trying to make the connection to this thread: stock + EX + xposed but no cata-mod? just curious about the purpose of your post or did you just forget to mention the mod ? ;) perhaps you're using Tupac4u's recovery flashable rom + cata-mod + ex + xposed ?
[Android General] vickyjusme:
yeah you are right. Stock debloated + Elemental x +cataclysm mod.
[Android General] magnamentis:
ok, good to know but not recommended. third party (custom) roms can brake cata-mod any time (not necessarily have to) but the risk is there while

google factory images always work till proven otherwise.

i suppose you didn't want to fastboot flash and delete gapps which is understandable but then the theoretically correct way to flash this mod would

as well be an opportunity to get used to fastboot / ADB procedures and manually debloating form twrp, very easy.

that's just meant to seed the thought to consider, all that works for you is of course great and your personal preference, no problem, hence "recommend"

Thank you. If something breaks I will sure install the mod with stock. I will try to find how to debloat a stock image.

I don't suppose this will be fixed in Cataclysm because Mod changes Framework to old January build.

But most Cata users comes from fully Stock via factory image flash so if someone can take some time to check this on stock before flashing Cata Mod It'll be great. (please put your result in above thread to keep this thread clean from unnecessary discussion )

And if it's fixed in stock (but not after flashing Cata Mod ) then it's good time for [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION] to give everyone a lil heart attack by updating Cataclysm mod ;) :p
[Android General] xenyz:
I'll try it, but I think this is just about where things will start to break or at the least not get broken things fixed (DnD alarm bug, Usage stats, Bluetooth, Telephony, etc)

Was running:

last full Cataclysm Jan.05, ElementalX 6.14 SuperSu (2.65? probably)

Is running:

From mob30d factory image fastboot flash

- bootloader hhz20b, reboot bootloader, reboot system (to check if it boots, still having MultiROM installed)

- radio 2.0.50.2.29, reboot system, mobile signal working, can call

- system, reboot to TWRP 2870

In TWRP flash:

- Cataclysm Mod Jan.05

- Theme ready Hangouts 8

- ElementalX 6.16 Full (run through setup)

Boot system, apps optimizing, all good, no root. Boot back to TWRP, flash SuperSu 2.71, boot back to system, root present and active.

Run AdAway to create new host file. Domination Layers applied. Use Titanium Backup to remove unwanted Google app which came with fastboot flashing mob30d system.img

Reboot. All seams good. No Force Closes noticed.

Edit

It passed wife's day usage test so I can confirm it's stable [emoji6]

I thought new radio.img I flashed broke Smart Radio, but it appeared Smart Radio was off after flash and I just had to go to Cataclysm settings and turn it back on. I recommend everybody to check Smart Radio settings after updating system and reflashing Cataclysm Mod over it.

Questions

Hi all men, good evening! I have a question:

1) If I want the root without installing Elementalx kernel, What do i do? Just flashing root without flashing kernel?

Thank you in advance!! ;)
[Android General] magnamentis:
as far as i know the recent versions of SSU patch the kernel so you should be able root the stock kernel while to be hones i always install EX kernel hence it's so long since that i would read the SSU thread to confirm, just read the thread of the variant you want to use. i recommend 2.68, i'm using 2.71 as well but don't have sufficient experience with it to know each detail while i have some issues on N preview with some apps, hence the recommendation of 2.68 which i know 100 sure it works when done right ( Marshmallw only of course )
[Android General] Arstoien:
Yes, the SuperSU patches the kernel, so you just flash that over stock and you're fine. I haven't read any feedback on 2.71 but I'm running it just fine, without any issues. After the first flash SecureSettings doesn't work out of the box (I assume because of the hardcoded SuperSU path), so I just run once:

mount -o remount,rw /system

touch /sbin/su /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su

mount -o remount,ro /system

Then it's all working well.

Any progress regarding potential conversion of CATACLYSM to Android N P2? N2 is now my DD.
[Android General] t3al:
I don't want to sound harsh, but seriously? Progress? Progress stopped in January man. Also it's impossible to edit Cataclysm without the source code, or any other piece of software.

On a side note I read a lot of comments stating "omg this still works etc." without saying which device is in use. For the 5X and 6P it's considered dead as it no longer supports the newer builds of Android, whereas for the 5 and 6 is still ok.

hi,

even when he was fully active, he never came up with a new API version release for a preview, hence before official release, even though he probably worked on it beforehand, which made the thing pop up on day 2 or 3 from official release LOL

right now i consider it not realistic to get anything new and to contact him now with such a request would probably (na ja) choose your own words LOL, but for this one has to know him a bit, it's would be counterproductive IMO.

BTW i would gladly have a beer with him soon but then i'm commuting back and forth to south-east-asia. generally we have to take his statement seriously and consider the possibility that cataclysm is gone as from "N" while until now there is nothing released for marshmallow that would justify a switch to anything else.
[Android General] t3al:
I think it's more realistic if Google merges Cataclysm than the other way around LOL :P Also I think it's pointless to make a custom ROM based on the N previews since the OS is not even half way to the end product.

At this stage it's a pointless ask, add the source code of android N hasn't been released, only the developer preview images.
