Hi there,

great to see you up and running ;) ;)

Yeah, we came far (down) since then, all has been said and predicted but the sheep follow each other over the cliff LOL

To be honest and thanks god, some of the key-features from back then have been implemented into stock google and until now, even though

choice got very limited, i've still always found something that suits me rom-wise.

Currently i'm in AOSIP on all my devices and am quite satisfied.

Something else bothers me much more, that is the growing issues with recoveries.

On A/B devices it became painful to make full backups and it's almost not worth the effort, hence i backup data-partition and for the rest flash less new stuff and clean if so.

Then many official recovery cause issues with encryption, i started to switch protection off before entering TWRP and switch it back on thereafter, another little PIA is that fingerprints have to be re-added.

etc. etc.

Still, with the help of tasker, nova launcher, Titanium Backup and a few other great apps and mods I have my device at work the way i want it.

Only thing I did not find rom-wise is lock-screen rotation, even though it would be so easy to include lockscreen.rot_override=true in build.prop ;) ;)

so i do it manually after each update.

regards

M.

Cataclysm was/is Awesome
[Android General] magnamentis:
true that but long gone unfortunately.

Sometimes i wonder whether he is back under disuise with one of the many mods that are no roms but improve stock ;), i.e. Oxygen OS and xXx

and the likes ;)
[Android General] HiM@L:
this was the king of ROMs... haters were just jealous.

now I am stock with locked bootloader.

nothing can make me unlock my bootloader again except Cataclysm.

Dreamers can only Dream.

Peace.
[Android General] Arstoien:
Well root is not a bad reason, for me at least. I'm now also on stock rom and kernel, yet I do need root for many things. It's sad for the community that good work like cataclysm does not get what it deserves. And the other way around seems to be true as well.
[Android General] Dualz:
atl4ntis and his great Cataclysm is well missed.

I have now moved onto OP7T pro with XxX No Limit Rom.
[Android General] magnamentis:
great, thanks for adding to my learning curve, yeah, i don't own neither device, hence the evaded me until now. good to know should anyone bring it up somewhere. :good:
[Android General] Arstoien:
Another way is to use Tasker :P

I have a one-time setup task that I run after a flash. It mounts system as writable, the "renames" /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg.bak, then remounts back system to read-only.
[Android General] till22:
Though I like using Tasker where I can, I don't find the advantage of doing it this way over just renaming the file. Could you elaborate?

Sent from my N5X, excuse brevity
[Android General] ben_pyett:
This is completely repeatable, requires zero manual intervention and will occur on every boot, so will ensure after every new flash the same three sound files are removed, saving time and effort.

Very clever.
[Android General] d u o XIV:
Just wanted to thank [MENTION=354700]ben_pyett[/MENTION] for PMing me and [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] for starting this thread. I legit started feeling some stress trying to figure out what ROM had enough features to "replace" Cataclysm. I took the chance and flashed the mod over the latest SkyDragon ROM, and everything works like a charm! I'm also glad there's a place where we can troubleshoot, if need be.

Glad there's still a lot of love for Cataclysm. Development may have been seriously wounded, but the soul still burns!
[Android General] magnamentis:
+1 i love those smart little tweaks and i love tasker :)

sometimes i wonder how many people are aware that every task can be exported as an app to be used on every device even without tasker installed ;)
[Android General] benleonheart:
Quick question;

has anyone tried flashing just the MMB29Q system.img without wiping the data partition?

I'm thinking of flashing the stock MMB29Q system.img and flash Jan5 MOD on top.

Thinking about it, all I would need to do is

>fastboot erase system

>fastboot flash system system.img

Boot back into TWRP

- Flash Cataclysm Jan5 mod

- Flash Custom Kernel of choice

- Flash SuperSU 2.6x

Why would I need to delete the data partition?

Forgot to mention, I would be moving from FULL Cataclysm Jan05 ROM.
[Android General] VeryCrushed:
You can do that... That's how you update to new factory images.
[Android General] magnamentis:
that's what i did exactly ever since the 1st mod was out, dirty flash away :)

if you flash ElementalX kernel i recommend to flash the kernel last ( as per flar2's recommendation )

and you can flash in a row, don't have to boot into system and come back for the rest
[Android General] force70:
Yep you need to flash both.

You can use fastboot or the new twrp can flash both system img and vendor now which simplifies things.

Sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Note 4 or Nexus 6
[Android General] benleonheart:
I'd just wait for the rom and backup/restore my apps. LOL.

Does it actually matter if I'm on Cataclysm ROM Jan5 (installed with Aroma installer, and whatnot) and I flash over the Stock system.img from Google what about vendor.img?

Can this be done via TWRP3?
[Android General] magnamentis:
does not matter, you can dirty flash the new system.img over any cataclysm marshmallow or stock marshmallow setup and the mod over that. all in one go, no intermediate boots necessary. as to vendor i can only say what others with newer nexii have posted. obviously on the N6p one has to flash vendor after the system image. you should find appropriate statements on the last 2-3 pages, there were several and since they have the device and i don't, you better

listen to those guys.
[Android General] Arstoien:
That's probably a big part of my "thanks" count – exporting tasker projects to ppl who need something but can't do it themselves. To me Tasker on android makes almost as much difference as Android on a dumb phone. Android gives the user the features, Tasker – automation of those features. Even though a lot has improved the past few big versions of Android.

It was actually a one time task that I ran manually after I flash a new rom/system.img , but now that you mention it, I'll make it check for these files and if they're there, rename them. Cheers :)
[Android General] magnamentis:
couldn't say it any better, is exactly how i see things, word by word, funny, feels like reading my own text :good:
[Android General] TheDannemand:
Thank you for this initiative!

[MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION] and [MENTION=354700]ben_pyett[/MENTION]: Thanks a lot for this initiative! I've been away from XDA for some time, then came here after seeing Ben's PM.

I read up on the drama and [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION]' decision. If you (atl4ntis) happen to see this: I completely understand your reaction, although like everyone else, I am deeply saddened about the outcome. I first tried Cataclysm in 2014, and instantly donated for my wife and myself once I saw your incredible attention to detail and quality. Far beyond what I have seen in other ROMs. I haven't used or tested another ROM since. Thanks a lot for your great work!

The introduction of Cataclysm MOD is almost miraculous in its timing, as it now allows Cataclysm's many users to stay on this ROM even as Google releases new monthly security updates. Of course this won't last forever as Google releases version updates, but talk about ingenuity and originality: No other Dev that I know (on XDA or anywhere) has released such an extensive feature set that can simply be patched on top of stock images -- maintaining stock stability, security -- and even Android Pay!

Thanks again, guys, for keeping it alive.
[Android General] magnamentis:
welcome back then, we agree LOL

sure, this mod will not last for ever but i have a plan, don't worry :) and i will share it with you the day the current mod will become incompatible. no guarantee though, you all know who we need to make it happen LOL

enjoy
[Android General] benleonheart:
Got it... went ahead and read a few pages back and combining my experience and all the posts, I'm gonna skip vendor.img... I've never flashed that before.

Can system.img be flashed via TWRP3.0.0?

Thanks!
[Android General] ben_pyett:
Unfortunately not, you'll need to use a pc and the 'fastboot flash system system.img' command.

If you've the N6P or N5X you also need to flash vendor.img, see the info below

The new vendor partition is where they keep the proprietary binaries now. Check out this post of why that's good now.

https://plus.google.com/+JeanBaptisteQueru/posts/akHWypRNEn3

Not sure if it's necessary for every android security patch release, depends if props binaries change, but it's probably good practice to start doing so. Certainly won't do any harm.
[Android General] magnamentis:
[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

ok guys, i have a suggestion to make hehe... will be fun :D

it was not that easy to find a post from the creator of this MOD which is not in a closed thread, hence in another thread than one of his own.

here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63970132&postcount=877

now guess why i was looking for it ? exactly i suggest that we head over to that post once and add to his thanks count. will look-up further third party posts from time to time :)

think about it, no obligation but would be a nice symbolic move IMO

enjoy further
[Android General] TheDannemand:
I agree, good idea. I'm pretty sure you can still add thanks to posts in closed threads, though. So you can bump his thanks count with any of his posts in the original ROM threads as well -- if you haven't already thanked those posts [emoji1]

Of course visibility will be higher in other treads that are still active.

I apologize if I misunderstood your plan...
[Android General] magnamentis:
didn't know that it's possible to thank in closed threads, the better for the frequency, i just thought it an idea to boost his record.

you got that right and your thoughts are good and welcome, i'll check if that works and report back in this post as an edit in a few minutes :)

EDIT: works, great contribution, makes everything very easy for those who don't have all 5 devices LOL :good:
[Android General] NOSTALGIA:

New twrp 3.0 can flash system and vendor images. Pretty awesome

For the 6P I think... Not too sure about Nexus 6...
[Android General] atomic339:
So If I am using latest full version of catalysm and I want to try this:

1. Wipe and full stock latest android by fastboot

2. TWRP by fastboot

3. Flash Cataclysm Mod

4. SuperSu + Kernel

Is it right?

After that, can I restore data partition?

Is there any option to flash full stock android from fastboot without sd format?
[Android General] jazzh:
Great thread!
[Android General] benleonheart:
Apparently it's

1. Fastboot erase system

2. Fastboot flash system system.img

3. Boot into recovery

4. Flash Cataclysm MOD

5. Flash SuperSU

6. Flash Kernel

Yes. Just flash system.img.
[Android General] mcg:
Very nice! Still on this ROM... battery life with Franco Kernel and the mods are what I prefer over other ROMs for now.
[Android General] ben_pyett:
Please remember to state your device type when posting with questions or replying offering advice, as this is a cross device thread and the install instructions are different for the latest nexus devices (N6P and N5X) as they need vendor.img, unlike the older N4, N5 and N6
[Android General] atomic339:
Is it good idea to flash system via TWRP? Or better use computer with fastboot?

Nexus 5
[Android General] ben_pyett:
If the option is available for your device then make use of it.

Quote: from TWRP release notes:

"Flashing of sparse images - On select devices you will be able to flash some parts of factory images via the TWRP GUI"

Not available on shamu. So far I've seen it on Nexus 6P and Nexus 9.
[Android General] androidsnax:
Good plan, I've gone through the Galaxy Nexus thread which he posted in a great deal back in the day, never thanked him enough there -maybe folk could go and do the same to show appreciation. ?

No need to flash stock factory images...

I'm with a Nexus 5 running EatBeans ROM (it's stock; debloated) + CataMOD + ElementalX and all is working fine.

:good: :good: :good:
[Android General] NLBeev:
I appreciate that this thread is started.

The 'cata-mod' is installed on my N6 and works well. Below the howto-steps.

0. All flashable zips copied to internal storage. Reboot to TWRP recovery. Backup mmb29s

1. TWRP Dirty flash stock lite rom mmb29q over previous. (Danvdh; rooted).

2. TWRP file manager copy build.prop to edit later with dpi 384. Replace build.prop with previous (dpi already set to 384).

3. Reboot - to check it works. Dpi 384 ok, Settings - about phone shows previous version data.

4. TWRP replace build.prop with edited new version

5. TWRP flash latest cata-mod (removes root).

6. TWRP flash SuperSU 2.67.

7. Reboot to check root access (OK)

8. TWRP flash Franco's kernel r42.

9. Reboot to normal use.
[Android General] magnamentis:
nice if this works for you but:

it's not safe to not use stock when it comes to recommendations and nobody knows how long that works, next ROM-Update could end compatibility.

nevertheless it's good for users of that rom to know from first hand that it currently works, hence the imput is welcome.

it just has to be relativated to not lure noobs into a trap they cannot easily get out once things would brake and in the wake would spread strange news about the MOD not working LOL.
[Android General] Eduardo C.:
You're right but i only posted it here because the ROM is (I think) pure stock.

By the way, thanks for opening this thread... I'm a Cataclysm user since the early days! :crying:
[Android General] magnamentis:
all good sir, as i said, very welcome, just thought it good to mention that it's non-standard procedure, simply to round up the "picture" :good:
[Android General] ^Reloaded^:
?

No update of MMB29Q for nexus 5x [MENTION=3913401]atl4ntis[/MENTION]

Still on MMB29P..Jan 6 stable build

Can i flash this mod on MMB29P. [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]
[Android General] magnamentis:
hey, why do you say that there is no uptate for the Nexus 5x?

as to my knowledge there is and has been from day one google pushed february updates.

this is the place to look for and download google factory images from: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

i as well attached a scrrenshot for you ;) and yes, you can of course you can flash the mod over MMB29P, that's the release it was originally targeted for.

extract the system.img and the vendor.img, put it into a folder of your choice on your computer, establish the path to that folder in terminal and use the fastboot flash system system.img command and the same procedure for the vendor.img thereafter, boot into recovery and flash the MOD over it, all in one go without booting into system in between. SSU and kernel a well can be flashed directly.

enjoy
[Android General] benleonheart:
Well, not everyone has the eatbeans stock... Most of us just want to flash the system.img...
[Android General] NLBeev:
Flashing the cata-mod' over the lite-rom mmb29q causes that root-access is gone.

Would root access be kept, when the boot.img is removed from the cata-mod.zip?
[Android General] Eduardo C.:
Yes, but installing EatBeans stock you don't lose all your data... just a fresh install, without wiping internal storage. ;)
[Android General] magnamentis:
no you shoot over, why would anyone loose data by flashing system.img ?

i recommend that you start reading a bit more on the topic because this will be confusing for many who later ask back and forth about non-existent risks. you can dirty flash mmb29q over mmb29p or anything earlier without issues and without wiping neither data partition nor internal sdcard.

hope this is understood. only certain way to loose all data is to lock and unlock bootloader, others are mostly coming with a data loss but even

updating the entire set of partitions from factory image like boot.img, system.img, vendor.img, bootloader and recovery would not wipe your media data partion if you don't do it manually.
[Android General] soxxo:
Where i can find February Mod? I looked to both AFH and MF folders but there's nothing :/
[Android General] magnamentis:

I just flashed twrp 3.0 img file using twrp 2.8.7 that already had the option to flash img fikes, and all is good.

Im not sure about system.img tough..

I just upgraded to february update with daveh debloated zip and flashed last Cata on top + elementalx and all is fine as always.

Cheers

Give it a try :) and let us know...

Nandroid always.

now that you mention it, i completely overlooked the "february" word since i thought it was that clear that it's the januay MOD we're using here.

thanks for clarifying that little detail to avoid confusion for some :) :good:
[Android General] soxxo:
My bad, i thought that just official xda threads are "dead" and dev uploaded latest on afh or somewhere. sorry for misunderstanding :) have a nice day, thanks
[Android General] skyline_kid:
I'll ask this here since the official thread is closed but is anyone else having an issue where you only get white LED notifications for every app on the N5? I did a clean wipe and update to the February security update with Cataclysm mod flashed on top and I had to go into per-app settings for each app and set the notification LED color in order for it to work properly. I had the same issue on the January 5th stable release with the full Cataclysm zip instead of just the mod.
[Android General] magnamentis:
you have to go to: settings > cataclysm settings > LED control > color and click the counter clockwise arrow to get from white to default. you'll see this " √ "

and always mention the device since this thread is crossdevice/multi-device :) thanks

EDIT: OK Nexus 5 as per your profile thanks
[Android General] mikeprius:
I am assuming this mod will most likely work until Google releases version "N" since there is very little change between builds ?
[Android General] ben_pyett:
That's what we're all certainly hoping on.
