Hello, brothers.

It's been months since I flashed Cataclysm. I have a N5X and I have tested a lot of Roms lately (all of them, actually). Obviously I was not satisfied at all with any of them, but then I remembered this ROM... wow. Even months later, this is the real deal, no other ROM can compare (I'm not trying to offend other devs, that's just my opinion). Thank you for keeping this thread alive, all of you.

Now, a quick question. I see in the OP that the latest supported factory image is MMB29V, but the latest update for Cataclysm for the N5X is MMB29P (that's the one I flashed, btw). You mean to say that I can fastboot flash MMB29V and then the mod and it will work? Also, I have been getting a lot of terrible drain because of the Google Play Services, I will try the ROM Toolbox workaround and report back.

Thanks OP!
[Android General] magnamentis:
hi, first about that drain, check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67261128&postcount=2108

all what you see there is reproducable and works for me on 7 devices and 13 roms with 4 different kernels, how to get rid of the drain

caused by latest playstore update, surviving reboots and rom updates dirty as well making it easy to restore on clean flash is included

yes as to "V" version, google packed more stuff into vendor and there were more significant changes to newer devices which broke cata-mod

for newer releases. you won't feel any difference in daily use, just not for security "addicts" because for me no portable, loosable and stealable device will ever be really safe. an old rule of thumb is that there is no safe computer the moment the hacker get's hold of the hardware.

Hello, after the last update 30M my phone keeps awake all the time.... :(

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=67261128&postcount=2108

try to get the idea behind the following post and seek out what applies to you, that stuff is cross rom and cross device but was tested on

OPO, OP2, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Galaxy Note 1 & 2, and SGSII with various roms, stock google, RR, Exodus and the likes,

what matters that works on both, AOSP and CM11-CM13
[Android General] ben_pyett:
Has anyone been having trouble of late... With Google play services.

Appears to crash at the load of certain applications and when version background Google related processing occurs which is impacting phone notifications.
[Android General] magnamentis:
not really, can't confirm this behaviour, neither N5 nor N6 wise while play services have updated in the background several times ( i see it when i check TiBu for normally hidden system apps that are marked as new versions ) so it's hard to tell whether we are on the same variant and why this happens to you.

i think we agree that in any case that would hardly be cata-mod related, just to learn about your opinion for others to avoid eventually false conclusions :) what do you think ?

these are my play services versions:

N5: 9.2.56 (438-124593566)

N6: 9.2.56 (430-124593566)
[Android General] NLBeev:
Yes. Uninstalled the updates, reboot. And updated itself to version 9.0.83.
[Android General] ben_pyett:
Amateur mistake,

Wiped all data from offending application and restarted phone, all good, problem fixed.

Previous Reboots didn't resolve it, unless Google updated it secretly in the background overnight.

Daftly wasn't paying attention to version numbers.
[Android General] NLBeev:
Yes, I am amateur. But there where many offending apps and uninstalling GPS was the solution.

Nice to hear from pro ?
[Android General] ben_pyett:
You mis-understood I was referring to myself as the amateur, as I complained in thread, before trying to wipe the data. :)
[Android General] NLBeev:
Help this thread; 2 amateurs could be fatal ??
[Android General] SlyUK:
Any updates with regards to Cataclysm's future or is the chance as slim as the UK staying in the EU ?
[Android General] NLBeev:
Both Cata and UK's futures are very uncertain.

The only thing we can expect are higher prices and less development.

[Android General] magnamentis:
has been discussed and answered about 30 days ago and quite detailed, you'll find the conversation about a month back though, including that part which makes it somehow obsolete to ask the question before android N will be officially released.

These links are in the OP and do not work in Tapatalk ( 'invalid thread error' )

This is a test. At the end is added a slash.

When the links are working, you could edit the OP.

The OP is very informative and will be better when all links are working (in Tapatalk).
[Android General] ben_pyett:
Good discovery.
[Android General] NLBeev:
I gave feedback to Tapatalk and waited for the last update.

The last update didn't solve this issue, that's why I posted this.
[Android General] magnamentis:
[MENTION=528201]NLBeev[/MENTION]

even though it's a tapatalk issue (works on all my desk and laptops) if i understand you correctly that adding a slash will solve it for tapatalk users?

if that's correct no reply needed, i gonna add that immediately, if i understood wrong, send me PM else it should be ok in 5 minutes, thanks for

That does appear to be the case! although best to reference post #1 specifically in the URL, I think anyway.

[Android General] NLBeev:
I like to reply to you.?

On the PC, laptop etc, all your links are working.

But using my N6 and Tapatalk 'some' links gave an error. Those links ended with t=<numbers>.

Adding a slash solves the Tapa-error; and with a slash added the links keep working on the PC (Chrome).
[Android General] WNSTNSNRS:
Hey there, have anyone faced this issue?

After changing my sim card (same carrier or different) "Smart Radio" no longer working, until I switched back to my old sim card.

I'm using Nexus 5, Cataclysm Jan 5, 2016 Build.

Thanks! :)
[Android General] magnamentis:
you would have to switch smart radio off before making the change. smart radio interacts with phone app as well as stock modem settings, hence it's better to de-activate and reset to default (reboot shoud do) in addition a wipe of caches from recovery as well as app specific data could help.

finally, the answer is no, i never had this but then i rarely change the sim-card and it's possible that i missed it. further i often don't use smart radio because the setup i need is different. recently i lost wifi connection due to a power failure in a restaurant and that cost me 1GB data because i was just updating apps form the playstore which does not have a wifi only feature ( strangely LOL )

however i use tasker now, that gives me more choices and works on all my many devices and roms, hence less fiddling on rom changes and more identical settings. that's of course very individual due to the fact that i keep 13 roms current on 7 devcies, a bit out off the norm probably :)
[Android General] WNSTNSNRS:
Already did that. Smart Radio works, when I switch Mobile data on it will turn 3G then 2G when off.

But..

WheneverI go to Settings>More..>Cellular Networks

'Preferred network type' is not changing, it's stuck to 2G and whenever I go to that part, radio will automatically go back to 2G.
[Android General] magnamentis:
that works perfect here, are you absolutely sure that your setup does not keep it at 2G or whatever, there are a variation of settings that would keep 2G but i really can't tell, one would need a gapless documentation of all your related settings in phone app, system settings and cataclysm settings. only the combination of all those allows for a proper assessment of the settings. for sure is that it works as it should out of the box, so something must interfere, just no clue what that could be.

if you make the effort to take screenshots to post them here you would have to take care that once can see the settings before and after smart radio is applied.
[Android General] WNSTNSNRS:
These are my settings.

It's working properly when I'm using my old sim card (my sim card since I bought ny N5). But yesterday, I bought a new sim card and the problem starts. Also tried other sim card. Still the same issue. But when I switch back to my old sim card. The problem will gone.
[Android General] magnamentis:
ok, that means it's sim card related, well possible though and not much one can do except use tasker script instead of the built in feature.
[Android General] jineshpatel30:
Most probably it's due to 4th of July.

My close friend works at Google India , though not related to Android department, his phone runs on internal development built which is 1 revision advance than us that's why i already saw July Security patch in that phone. So safe to assume that there is July update around the corner we'll just get it next Monday ;)

.....................

To ppl who got high hope about i might know something about Nougat for N5 through my friend , sadly i don't.

Reasons are

1)He is not android enthusiastic like us so he didn't opted for N DevPre. :eek:

2)He said, even if he finds out he is not gonna tell me..:( :rolleyes: :crying:

(BC burn in the hell :cool: :D )

PS: No it's not BS , only Indians knows meaning of BC ;) :p
[Android General] magnamentis:
that's independence day LOL

New google factory images are out:

[Android General] Natakranta:
Just tried with N5.

New bootloader, system and boot. Cata mod on top of that, theme ready gapps and latest SuperSU. Boot, optimising all apps. Boot loop. Adb reboot. Booting, optimising 13 apps and boot loop on 4 spinning circles. Let it 5 minutes and adb reboot.

At least booting is progressing far enough to enable adb.

Again, optimising 13 apps.

I'll try with EX karnel and if it doesn't boot I'll have to restore nandroid I did just before.

Boot loop with EX karnel :(

I gave up. Restoring nandroid of mob30h now (I passed mob30m). If anybody succeeds with mob30p for N5, I'll give it another try.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Android General] jineshpatel30:
may be due to theme ready gapps ?

anyway i'm flashing now, will report back within an hour :)

UPDATE

6.0.1 (MOB30P) of "hammerhead" for Nexus 5!

[Android General] Natakranta:
Did you succeed with mob30p on N5?

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Android General] jineshpatel30:
Yes ;)

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

MOB30P+Cata Mod is working perfectly on Nexus 5

( I think it should work on N6 as well without any problem)

Steps i used for update,

1. Clean Flash factory image via flash.bat ( i needed clean flash bcz my phone was messy & i was getting reboots on MOB30M ... but you can try dirty flash if you want... i think it'll work as well)

if you are dirty flashing flash bootloader , radio as well bcz they are also updated ;)

2. Install twrp 3.0.0.2

3. Flash Cata Mod Jan-05

4. Flash SuperSU-76

5. Flash ElementalX 6.17

Using for 4 Hrs Normally without any problem.

everything working normally over here.....NO boot-loop Or FCs.

So, GO ahead... Happy flashing !

.
[Android General] jazzh:
I understand radio is the same as in mob30m, so no need for flashing?
[Android General] jineshpatel30:
Mostly no need...but there is no harm in flashing it over, so my advice flash it anyway, it just take 1 line & 4 seconds ;)
[Android General] NLBeev:
Read about it MOB30o same bootloader and radio. Source thread of Danvdh.

Here are recovery flashable zips with bootloader and radio for several versions. Just in case.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3066052/
[Android General] Natakranta:
Thanks. I gave it a second go and succeeded this time. Fastboot flashed new system and boot, then in TWRP flashed Cata Mod, SuperSU 2.76 and EX 6.17

This time it booted fine.

Deleted Google bloat :) applied layers and booted back to TWRP. Flashed theme ready gapps 18 and theme ready Google dialer and contacts. It booted fine. N5 is up and running on mob30p

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Android General] jazzh:
Please give a link for flash ready themed gapps and dialer and contacts.

---------- Post added at 07:10 ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 ----------

But that thread is for Nexus 6?
[Android General] NLBeev:
Yes indeed. I thought in July no new bootloader/radio for all Nexus devices.

But I could be wrong.
[Android General] magnamentis:
[MENTION=528201]NLBeev[/MENTION]

just using the opportunity to point out that the modem (radios) for N6 are not the same, change to ......g at the end, i think it was f before but deleted it already, N5 radio remained, as already mentioned, the same
[Android General] Natakranta:
2nd post here - download TeamBlackOut updater app, install and have access to everything TeamBlackOut produces including Theme Ready Gapps.

This thread is in "Android General" so for any device, but here precisely for all devices that used to be supported with Cataclysm ROM.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 AM ----------

I can confirm for N5 - in July new bootloader (from f to g) but the same radio as in previous factory images (last time I was refreshing it with May images).
[Android General] NLBeev:
Thanks. I will extract them from de factory image and flash te latest.

Sorry for assuming about this. Glad you corrected.
[Android General] ben_pyett:
Anyone know why there are two new images for N6?

June=MOB30M

Google site now showing:

July= MMB30K and MOB30O

Confused
[Android General] magnamentis:
it was me who was wrong, not you to avoid further confusion caused by me i post it visualized below so everyone can see and compare numbers

Can't find it at the moment but there's a page on Android's website that lists building numbers and their SDK level. June's MOB build was like branch 46 while the MMB build was like branch 28. Not sure why Google releases different versions.

Edit: Here it is. Scroll down a bit. https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html
[Android General] gorilla p:
Long story short, some people complained that he didn't have to share his source/commits but got to have his ROM in the "Original Development" section without having to prove that it was "original", while suggesting that a large part of it was not in-fact original.

This was primarily because others have had been borderline harassed, and had to prove that they made everything from scratch on a weekly basis.

As for why they were closed... Well that's debatable, but this thread wasn't created for that, but to continue working on Cataclysm.

Hi –

Wanted to jump in and add my deep thanks to all of you responsible for this worthwhile effort (Magnamentis, Nathan, Ben etc), and let you know that I too am completely on board. Haven't gone the mod route before, since the full Cataclysm zips were always available and simpler. But the directions seem pretty straightforward, so I expect it should not be a problem. (Hope Atl4ntis will realize how many of us so appreciate his superb work.)

Cataclysm FOREVER!!! :good: :good: :good:
[Android General] ilciumbia:
I understand your position, however I suggest you add a brief explanation in the OP about the reasons which led Atl4ntis to his decision, first because we don't want the same question asked over and over again, but more importantly because everyone is asking himself what was the specific behaviour which triggered the decision, and if any of us was somehow responsible, even unconsciously, for an offending set of actions we surely want to avoid in the future.

No polemics or offences intended, just a way to know what to do and especially NOT to do to keep on the right route!

[Android General] force70:
While in theory that makes perfect sense however this is XDA 2016 where the same questions always get asked over and over regardless of what the OP says lol.

Ive actually had people ask me what an OP is after referring them to it :banghead:

People will ask regardless, just best to a answer (if your going to) via pm to try and keep the thread clean and on point.

[Android General] magnamentis:
sorry that i cannot comply with your wish because what i have to say about the reasons would automatically trigger the drama i'm trying to avoid. my opinion is one thing and links i can provide is another but even they can ( have already ) be reason for drama we don't want here.

your request implies that you either did not understand the nature of the matter or are not willing to accept the counter measures. i personally don't care how many people will ask the question. i shall reply to each request vie PM but not in public. further the question is allowed as long as there is nobody answering the question publicly. all communication on the matter has to go through private message and i hope that now that i mentioned and explained this on almost every page in this thread, that this is clear once and for all.

the alternative i have been given should drama arise will be that this thread as well would be closed. my only chance to get this under control a little bit is to avoid the topic entirely.

resume:

- everyone can ask the question and receive a reply from me via PM, very neutral in form of links to read for yourself

- nobody should start a discussion here, no matter how provoking a post might be, because as to our cause that would be suicide

- i do not have the time to write this kind of reminder on every page, hence don't expect that many more times in the future, learn patience when it comes to see whether we shall have newer mods when needed and learn to accept facts.behaving like i child in front of the candy bar at the cashiers desk with a "but i want" attitude will ultimately lead to a total loss and in no way to get anything that's not available.
[Android General] SlyUK:

as a stated a few pages ago myself, i'm as well not happy with the title as it is just didn't have a revelation yet LOL

so shoot ahead but not here, via PM please
[Android General] magnamentis:
Thanks for the heads up, does that mean that you definitely can confirm that we can add the Nexus 4 (MAKO) to the list in the OP.

Just want to make sure beforehand and then if you could provide me with the link quick would be nice but no problem i can look it up myself no big issue, hence "would" be nice LOL
[Android General] crisHD2:
Just quote what is out there. Done. Case closed.

Well I can only shake my head about this blurp; "drama" and "suicide" etc.

What is so terribly secretive about the issue (reasons which led Atl4ntis to his decision) that it can not be openly explained .

There doesn't need to be a discussion about it - fine! Just quote what is out there. Done. Case closed.
[Android General] magnamentis:
because it's prohibited by the moderators of XDA, or in other words, i have an agreement with them that i will do my best to avoid the topic being discussed in public because the outcome has been seen in other (now closed) threads. what do you think why all this happened ?

i will not quote the moderators PM here without his consent but you can believe me that the possibility of this thread being closed should drama arise was clearly put into writing.

this is the last time i say something on the matter since it seems that careful and well meant explanations does not work with spoiled kids with that "but i want" attitude i already mentioned. i will in the future simply hit the report button and as posts to be removed that don't comply with the rules of this thread or XDA in general.

i even suspect that this discussion about what we publish here and what not which is not up to anyone else to decide is part of the expected even though that would be a very smart approach to derail this thread.
[Android General] Arstoien:
