Don't flash it. Something is wrong with it. If you downloaded it, don't flash. I'll have to look at it tomorrow. Pulling it in a minute
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
NP man....

will f5 f5 f5 after i wake up tomorrow
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
That dirty cow making a mess in the oven
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
lol It was actually the changes made for r_74 (Nov patches). My source got borked after the repo sync so I had to wipe everything and start over late last night. I will be flashing the new build in a few hours and if everything is clear, I will upload.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] orangekid:
where's Nougat?

I swear these lazy devs these days don't even bother keeping up with the times...
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Appreciate the dedication.. Never knew the reason for the monthly patches..some are just more significant than others I assume. Are there ever fairly useless ones?

What's dirty cow?

Ah...will do next time. Thank You
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Some of them are "Meh", but this recent one is a must
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Thanks for the info.. Did you hear about the other screenshot feature that allows selection?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
No. What do you mean?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
It was added by DU folks. It allows you to drag a selection to take a partial area screenshot ..think its called screenshot type

[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Nifty. I might try it out. Thanks
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
hi,

a little heads up off the "addon.d" error upon performing a nandroid backup

i did not find out what it was but i finally drew the big gun and formated the entire memory to ext2 and back to ext4 to make sure that i

got rid of any residues and will deal with a virgin internal memory and went from scratch and it's gone.

might have been either a residue, a root issue or a corrupted memory, no idea whether you were able to see something in that log,

i couldn't while i'm not a good log reader :)

whatever it was, it's not a rom issue, which is why i'm posting the result here.

BTW as you already mentioned, just confirming that the last build did not boot for me, no xposed at the moment hence it was

certainly a good idea to pull it :)

thanks for the great rom and have a nice weekend

cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:

Why is there a really annoying lag when using the navigation buttons? Why isn't it instant?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] DJ IZZY:
No lag here awesome update Thank you very much for all your hard work and dedication!!!!

[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION]

Hey, just curious ...... You work is beyond good and has been appreciated by many ..... That said, at this point, are you using or interested in Nougat?

There are a couple of great Nougat ROMs out there but I still keep a backup of this ROM around
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Neo posted a ways back he will move to N when RR team does, but last this came up they had not posted anything to github as of yet and he was waiting on them to do so.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] sagar_b93:
No Experiencing any such LAG, Did you clean flash ?

And [MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] thankyou for this awesomeness, with all the 7.0 hype going on, all i wanted was a some marshmallow sweetness and this is exactly it. :o
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
What adm1jtg said :)

I'm not interested in N so I run this build. However, I intend to build RR N when the source becomes available.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
So next month when there likely wont be security patches for MM anymore... what then? Will you somehow be able to port the security patches into an MM RR build? As I kinda agree have dabbled in N and so far not really seen any advantages and have some definite disadvantages. I went to try N mostly so I could stay up to date on security patches. If you really are able and willing to port back the security patches that would mean I and others like me could stay on MM RR NEO brand indefinitely.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] christianpeso:
Nexus 6 will receive security updates for 3 years from the time it went on sale. So about another year or so of security updates.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I will keep building weekly updates of RR MM while Google publishes security patches and the RR team keeps updating their source, even while I'm building RR N (when that comes available)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Did something change with latest build... When I load xposed on this build I boot loop. can anyone else confirm or deny this issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Common issue on November security update. No fix yet
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Exposed working fine for me on this build
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Seen a lot of folks having issues with it on the xposed thread...mainly cm13 nightly people.. It works for you so I don't know what's going on..not sure if they're using the newest version of xposed
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Interesting v84 not the newest v86 will have to test that over version tomorrow
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Interesting.. I didn't know it was updated ha. Confirmed no issues on v84 [emoji14]
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
The problem is security updates going forward will ONLY be for N just like they are already for the 6p, Thus why I was asking what I did
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
After Shamu's 3 year promise, yeah
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
So are you saying we will get shamu MM security patch updates for BOTH MM and N until like OCT 2017? Also if that's true that you will continue patching RR MM even after RR stops updating its MM version? If I am reading this right this is great news.

UPDATE: On the xposed issue I suspect the issue was Oct updated the Bootloader version. I formatted all Partitions including sdcard and updated my bootloader versiopn via fastboot and now xposed loads up just fine v86
[Nexus 6 Android Development] y300owner:
Why doesn't doze more with the ROM? Like over night I'm having ten to twenty percent battery drain
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
You're running November build just fine after the update of the newest bootloader. I may have the download the newest bootloader just in case.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

I don't experience that on this ROM. Only when I install certain apps that can annoy with notifications waking up the phone constantly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
The Shamu device will continue to receive Google sourced security patches for 3 years from the day it was first released (whenever that was). Since the security patches are with the Google source, I will continue to patch both builds of RR MM and RR N and release both on my usual Friday updates until I either leave the device, choose to no longer support it, or am unable to continue building the source. As of right now, I intend to keep updating every Friday :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hk48:
what is the best kernel for this rom, i have some lag issue :(
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
i was on elementalX but latest build broke compatibility probably EX needs an update and could apply to other custom kernels as well since EX is very much based on stock

to be honest i don't feel any significant difference, the built in kernel is

absolutely on par and does all the stuff feature wise as well.

your lag is most probably app/theme related, revert to default theme first to check the difference. if that does not help wipe both caches

from recovery and/or of the app that is in use when the lag occurs first. etc.

at the very end, do a clean install because there is no lag rom-side, must be user space.

EDIT: all the above always with a reboot in between to make sure that changes are fully applied
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Not liking most recent update at all, as mentioned earlier I had issues with xposed that I thought I had resolved with a bootloader update, long story short xposed installed properly ONCE and now I cannot get it to install properly again just bootloops. Second the rom has bootlooped on me 3 times when going into misc weather it reboots soon as I touch weather and goes into a bootloop that can only be fixed by reloading the rom. Well guess what after reloading the rom xposed no longer works, meaniong if i try and load xposed now it bootloops. This is obviously due to the updated patches not directly the rom itself but its VERY fristrating. I have had more bootloops in the last two days trying to load this rom clean with xposed then I have in the last 3 months.

Yes you could say ... well just dont load xposed

Yes you could say ... well just dont click on the weather option

I all these new instabilities just make me Leary and yes I know many will post back its rock solid stable for me no issues and that concerns me even more as if the issues I am having aren't readily repeatable they will be very hard to fix. This last set of patches really changed something and not for the better.

Before anyone flames or whatever I am NOT saying negative things or trying to belittle the great work the devs have done simply voicing my concerns and I guess asking if I am alone with these issues.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Did you try a complete format of all the partitions, factory reset, and flash it with v84 of xposed? Confirmed you got a good download of the rom by comparing md5s? Just sounds like you got something bad going on there.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alphamale:
Are you using the latest installer app for xposed. I believe its 3.1.1 it was posted 10/31. If not try it
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Yes did all of that and worked ok on newest xposed until it bootlooped after hitting the weather option as stated above. Now wont install and I refuse to wipe everything and start all over again as that is not the stability i need and expect from this rom.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I'm using 3.0 alpha4 with v84 of the framework on my latest build. Smooth sailing here
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
I am using the v86 zip straight off the download area for xposed and remember it all worked once then after the bootloop no longer works. some kinda incompatibility it seems
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
You identified the difference last night... Have you not tried running it as I am? Or is it just a need to be on the latest available for some reason?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bi_Polarized:
I have had nothing but the same problems. I tried complete format v84 bootloop tried v85 bootloop. The only thing I notice that I didn't try is I'm using the updated xposed installer app v3.1.1 from the xposed XDA OP thread. I wanted to try the version 3 alpha whatever but forgot to change that. Plus I have the newest bootloader too. This is the only ROM from you that I could not get to boot with xposed since you started these RR builds. Thanks by the way. I just don't have the time to keep playing with it.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
You guys are seriously encouraging me to flash the latest framework and app to see for myself lol
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bi_Polarized:
I would be lying if I said I wasn't curious!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I'm gonna do it. brb in a bit (maybe)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] alphamale:
Try the latest xposed installer app https://www.dropbox.com/s/cupsp4y2qt0w4gw/XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk?dl=0
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bi_Polarized:
Thank you Neo. Whenever you got the time.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I'm already doing it. I installed the latest installer, works fine (I like the fancy UI with cloud download/ota ability). Reboot and still got into the rom ok. Then I downloaded v86 of the framework, installed it, rebooted and it's optimizing apps now. I have a pretty good suspicion that after I reboot, it will still be ok.

Sorry guys, I know that not what you wanted to hear. I will upload screen shots here in a sec after I reboot after it optimizes my apps.

Remember that you need to be on sdk23 arm (xposed-v86-sdk23-arm.zip)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
remove post still testing
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
I guess cause you're Neo...rovo said he's aware of the issue and there isn't going to be a quick fix
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
So first I tried the new installer with v84 of the framework, then I installed the new framework and now running the latest installer on the latest framework. I've rebooted twice now just to see if it would bootloop.

It may be important to note when the bootloops are actually happening. Is it after a specific module is enabled? Or is it immediately after a framework is installed?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Maybe uninstall xposed completely and try again.reinstall your modules and stuff
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bi_Polarized:
I notice yours says 84 and 86?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Me personally I was using the twrp zip install file of v86 so of course i was in twrp installed the zip and it just hung forever on the matrix bootscreen never actually got back into t he rom.

The weather bootloop might be mu fault i have found things like cLock tend to cause wakelocks even when off so I froze it maybe thats whats causing my weather issue but never had that happen before and have always froze the same apps. Like I said above am still testing and will now test with the above posted "mnewer" installer instead of the twrp zip that was from the official xposed download area.

Also just to re-iterate i used v86 twrp version on last 3 previous versions of neo rr and never had a single issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I said, I did 84 first with the new installer, and then I upgraded to 86. I included all the screenies along the way (check the time in the pics ;) )
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
He's showing that he used both,not together.. To prove there wasn't issues on neither one
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Bi_Polarized:
I see now, thanks. I'm at home now charging up and going to try it again with format, boot ,install xposed installer 3.1.1 and then install v86 from the app instead of TWRP and then one by one modules if I can get that far.lol Anyways thanks guys!
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
We could go into debate about how the firmware and wafer is different in each motherboard of the same device but I think that might be a bit much lol What may work for me may not work for others and I can't explain it and I'm sure Rovo will have quite a time figuring it out also as it's likely not due to his framework either.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] hk48:
Thanks bro
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
I give up... Formatted all partitions again (yes even sdcard), install xposed with the installer and that worked, continued setting up all my settings and when i tapped ad blocker spontaneous reboot into a bootloop i had enabled the THREE modules in xposed I use but not rebooted so they weren't even active. As much as I love this rom at least on my unit this versions stability is gone. Might try next fridays build but it has gone for me from the most stable robust usable rom on the planet to so unstable I cannot even complete the setup. Have worked on this for 2 days and for whatever reason, we will probably never know, this version is simply not usable on my phone. Oh just to be complete did not even have time to freeze any apps was a pure install only things added were xposed and arise which again i have used for last 3 versions same exact setup pnly this version is so unstable for me

Very very sad day for me
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Sad to hear it. I'm out of ideas for now to help you with it. Perhaps Friday will be different.

EDIT: I do have 1 last idea. Try flashing the last version that was confirmed working without issues for you. If you have issues now, then there must be a problem on your end with corrupted data or a physical device issue.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Already did ALMOST that restored my nandroid of the last version that was all setup with xposed and themes and everything and that version worked perfectly

Man I REALLY dont want to have to start looking ot N roms
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
I'm just curious if all of it will work flawlessly on a clean flash of my last rom build that works fine for you.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
not sure as the nandroid i have was a dirty flash of the rom version before and possibly the one before that and thats why i wanted a clean flash with this version. The sad part is since it seems to be only me there is truly nothing for you to fix or investigate and i get that, I just depend on my phone to much to trust anything that causes reboots and or as in this case bootloops from tapping a wrong key

Any feel on N version of RR as while I really dont care about N either at least that will be a whole new rebased rom and thus maybe will work for me?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
[MENTION=2781850]adm1jtg[/MENTION]

did you try default theme, the last big issue i had with theme related and it as well did not make obvious sense, just trying to provide

a possible cause, based on experience that often if nothing else makes sense on or another theme, in my case it was "blue tint" causes problems, at least parts of it like icons etc. just try it out if you like, nothing to loose :)
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Last three loads I hadnt even got to the theming setup
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
ok, sorry if that was not helpful, did you try a clean install in increments, meaning naked install of rom and gapps + xposed and after that adding either one app after another or eventually in small groups, reboot and see what happens ?

and then, just in case you are using TiBu, try to restore as little as possible and if so then again in small increments to narrow down an app or a group of apps within which the culprit can be found. for me that approach ultimately solves any issue that is not standalone rom or kernel related.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
Never be sorry for trying to help, this thread is one of the very few on xda that is helpful and friendly and overall well meaning.

That said the reason i gave up is I should never be able to make a bootloop by hitting an option in the options menu and yet with a base install no apps or minimal apps i have managed it 4 times. I probably could get it all working but I depend on my phone and cannot take a chance with a rom that has "soft bricked" my phone 4 times in the last 2 days. Yes I can recover it, no It not harming my phone but every time I have to reload takes time, Time i cannot get phone calls and texts and I just cannot afford that right now. I will definitely be keeping an eye on this thread but will unfortunately have to move on... likely to an N rom if i can find one thats stable with the base features I need. Of course xposed is out at least for now but it is what it is.

Thanks to all for the help and support and the great rom
[Nexus 6 Android Development] dvdivx:
I used the boot.img from the 11/11 release to fix the dirty cow vulnerability and the rom from 11/01. Xposed works 100% and now with no security issues I'm worried about. Really it's the best option for now. Thank you for the updates Neo.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] magnamentis:
if you have to move on for real-life-purposes, i hope i'm forgiven to do that, i always have a stock google + cataclysm mod in peto as a nandroid backup on my sdcard, just in case of emergency should i ever need an immediate fix and working phone. this is just meant to help you to get the currently second best experience after RR if that's not feasible at the moment for you for the reasons you explained above.

fastboot flash stock factory image from here :https://developers.google.com/android/images

flash cataclysm mod + xposed + kernel of choice ( recommending elementalX ) from here ( you find the links in the OP ):

http://xdaforums.com/android/general/info-cataclysm-mod-dead-t3307703

all keyfeatures and more are there and it's rock solid, theming goes via substratum if needed :)

good look and welcome back soon :)

cheers
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
The thing is there are several other cm and other ROMs having this very issue on the November patch from reading comments in xposed thread. Like neo said its probably better to load the old one.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
You convinced me to try again and take the time to help [MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] maybe further isolate the potential issue. SO I did the following:

Restored old working nandroid of the 11/1 build with arise and xposed and all my apps themes and settings completely configured and confirmed it still worked well, it did, no surprise there.

Reloaded DIRTY 11/01 rom, gapps, arise and xposed 86. Still worked just fine.

Extracted the boot.img from the 11/11 build and installed it through twrp over the above install. Still working.

Not really sure what else to try the mishmash of 11/1 rom and 11/11 kernel seems to work fine. I guess I could clean install 11/1 and re-install all apps and such but really don't have that kind of time and not sure that would provide any useful data as the dirty install works fine.

[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] am I missing any of the major/important patches with this config, hoping they are all kernel based but i know better? Does this help at all? How many non kernel commits were added between 11/1 and 11/11 as if not to many we could try and remove or add them one at a time to isolate, if I know there is possible instability I can help test just would have to test at off peak times and only small tests one at a time.

For now I will likely stay on the mishmash build for next few days unless you want me to do a few quick tests
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
Well, your test concluded that it was not the kernel you were having issues with, but the ROM. The ROM received many updates due to the Google source security patches. The RR and CM sources also got updated. The only thing you can try at this point is a clean install of a previous build and see if Xposed crashes/ROM bootloops for you. Then restore what's working for you from your nandroid. Your clean flash of a previous build with Xposed would simply be for testing briefly.
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Phrodini:
Well they got it working by adding a commit to the ROM https://github.com/HealthyMarshmall...mmit/0b5f4e5f762d4d8a85cab1a3085bf4296a97c4e5

You would have to know how to add it yourself tho or someone who can
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
prjosh... huh slim team comes through again....
[MENTION=4203241]Neo[/MENTION] when you have time... even friday can you spin a test build adding in just this one commit
[Nexus 6 Android Development] Neo:
What exactly is this meant to resolve?
[Nexus 6 Android Development] adm1jtg:
I am reading the same posts you are but would seem he is saying this commit resolved the issues with xposed that other users were having with november patches
