Cataclysm Rom orphans thread - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since development on Cataclysm Rom has stopped I was wondering which roms Cataclysm Rom orphans are switching to ? I cant decide between Chroma and PureNexus

Chroma is great Pure NExus is also good. Give them both a go and pick one. I stuck with Chroma for a couple days and it was solid.

Maybe Atl4ntis will post his mod in some other way, when new source is out...

why you need to switch it now ?!
i have strong belief that Atl4ntis will come up with new mod when new factory image will arrive...he won't punish tons of loyal users just because of few morons ! :fingers-crossed:
so just have faith and wait ( if you don't have any other reason to switch the rom ,i personally don't find any reason to ditch cataclysm as of now )

what happened? Can you link me to the post, please?

I use the latest PureNexus ROM with ElementalX kernel. Very smooth and functional Android Experience. Battery is also not bad with about 5h Screen-On Time. (2G, WiFi, Messenger, Tapatalk, Feedly, Spotify)

looks like so.
but i still hope he will continue . or I also need to find new rom, where I can find almost same catalysm settings.

Good Lord - I guess I'd just thought I'd seen whiny douchebags until I read that link. Cry boy even has a fan club of sycophants. Not going anywhere for now, so I'll wait until the next release and see what happens. Too bad jealousy by a few ruin a good thing.

I haven't had any issues with the Jan 5 Stable version, so I don't plan on going anywhere.

It's on atl4ntis's android file host directory.
It's a shame that on xda, developers gets so frustrated by the community to leave it every month. I would lock the thread as read only and just post links, to report bug there could be just a thread in general section

Well, cataclysm is most stable rom around.
CM nightlies are not really stable (nobody expects so), and other ROMs which are mashups of all commits "dev" managed to merge can't be stable.

does someone have tried to flash catalysm 5.jan mod to stock MMB29Q?

Such a shame Cataclysm has disappeared. I enjoyed using it when I tried it last year. Well, I'm on stock unrooted as always these days. I like custom ROMs and the idea behind it, but seamless updates and mostly stability sway me in the direction of stock.

yes you can use Jan 5 mod on 29Q.

Is anyone staying on Cataclysm or jumping ship?

Staying. Until android N. Or if there will be significant changes in between but I doubt there will be.

I too am a Cataclysm orphan. I came across this thread, and am surprised I didn't see a link to the thread linked below. It is a great initiative by @magnamentis and @ben_pyett to create a support thread for users who want to keep using Cataclysm and help each other.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/info-cataclysm-mod-dead-t3307703
CataclysmMOD can indeed be flashed over Google's February Stock images, and possible later monthly Google Stock images as well.
It is quite remarkable that a ROM with such a rich feature set and so many customizations, no to mention rock solid stability, has been reduced to such a tiny mod (just 13 files plus the kernel) which can be flashed over stock images!

developer is on a hiatus I think. Try other roms first. wait till the thread gets active again before flashing.
There's nothing to update. It's stock rom with a few extras. Hence no activity

See, this is where I'm a little fuzzy. Stock Google is simpy AOSP + Google's closed source apps - dialer, camera, play services, etc. What then is the difference between a ROM such as cataclysm which adds customization to the AOSP / Stock ROM and another AOSP-based ROM which adds customization, but requires you to flash Gapps in a separate package?
Is it simply that the other "non-stock AOSP-based" ROMs modify the open-sourced files within the ROM, and Cataclysm does not? But, then again, I can't imagine that the open-sourced files in Cataclysm were NOT modified in order to achieve its vast customization possibilities.

The moderator had to close the thread because of all the shenanigans going on. When Google updates, he will update the ROM, we hope, nobody has seen him but personally, after reading some of the post by people I would tell them all to go pound sand.

You don't flash gapps on cataclysm. Read the OP. It's stock based and updates when we get Google updates. If anything when the previous updates came out, he was the fastest to update the rom out of the roms at that time.

Actually, the thread was closed because many users couldn't keep patience as a virtue. The thread turned into a loop of questions asking "Where is atl4ntis, Will this Rom ever be updated?". Mod said It would open upon Developer's request.

Developers are not required to be active in their threads. People kept trolling and requesting his presence even though his rom was setup just like he said it would be. He updated the Nexus 4 cataclysm when kitkat came out and he did the same disappearance because of stupid users. He has met every update Google has put out so far so going from actual facts he has been updating 100% of the time and has yet to fail. When Google updates and he does not then you can assume he abandoned it. Until then he has developed his stock based rom accordingly to Google updates.

And people from Nexus 4 or whatever it was he did Cataclysm for before have already said he always dissappears but re appears to update when needed

Stables Roms

Hi, i'm trying to find an answer with search bar, but definitively i can't find a good answer.
What roms are stables?
I've found only slimkat 4.0 stable and Cyanogenmod 11 M4 (both give my different problem with my usb keyboard, others roms doesn't but there are others problems), there are others stables roms to run with elementalx stable version?
I'm looking for something customizable at the same time have a stable version,possibly with OTA like cyanogen or beanstalk, .
Can someone Help?
Sorry for bad english
You should certainly try out AICP...
Btw, all roms are stable enough to use as a daily driver.. It's upto you to decide what is stable enough for you.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
If you are on stock rom you can just install xposed framework with gravitybox to get all of your customization.
If you insist on a custom ROM rastakat or purity are probably the closest to aosp stability.
Stock + gravitybox is probably the best bet...

OP, stable is up to the individual User. There are some ROMs that are stable for others that are not for some....best bet, and I know you are going to say, I don't have time....hence probably why this thread is here, but you should just read, pick a ROM test it & run it....With so many variables involved, what is stable for me, might not be for you, since we have different needs, apps and usage....Thanks & Thread Closed.

You could try out Rastakat. There are updates every so often, but not to the point where you'll be flashing something every week.
Of course Slimkat updates stable once a month so it's not that frequent. And they are stable so you only update if you want try the new features

[Q] Custom ROM

So... I'm planning to switch to Nexus 5 because my current phone (xperia zl) is lost...
Can you guys suggest me a good custom rom? I mean lag-free (no lag when you pull down the notification drawer), and stable ?
Thanks a lot, sorry if i'm asking such as unimportant question, i'm new in here
Since AOSP is built for Nexus range, they're all about as lag free as each other and all pretty stable.
Just look for the features you want and try the roms...

But i've read on some website said that PA, Carbon, and Mahdi is laging.. .Is that true?
If they are, its users poor setup or certain apps. ?
Stock is noticeably faster than pacman cm based ROM no matter what my settings were.
Going to try a couple more aosp based Roms like rastakat for the missing features from stock.
Will definitely be sticking to aosp Roms now though and not bother with any cm based.

Also pa was definitely faster than pacman but since I didn't run it back to back against stock ROM I can't say if it was slower or faster.

when i was on galaxy s2 of of all roms i had tried cm had the least bugs and cm11 for galaxy s2 was fit for daily use since 3rd build i guess it would be same for all phone !
its written on cm site too that people find cm more stable than other roms. may i know the reason for your opinion?

Cm has always been a battery drain for me since cm6. Its never been more stable than anything else. Maybe their final versions are as stable as everything else, but all their nightlies and everything else released between the final versions always seem to introduce bugs. And they always change stuff that doesn't need changing.
I will never use cm again. Simply awful.

read the xda threads on xda in general, q&a. many many times its cm thats unstable. besides, i spent years on cm, i know what it can be like. anyways, for the nexus 5, there are many roms that id consider more stable than cm.
First time trying a cm based ROM on my n5 and first time I have stability issues. Had to hard reboot cause it wouldn't wake up at all.

What's the latest greatest ROM everyone is using for the Idol 3?

I rooted my 6045O last night and I'm excited to try a ROM on this phone. I seen the big thread on the CyanogenMod 12.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/ido...om-cyanogenmod-12-1-alcatel-onetouch-t3225533
But I wanna make sure it's the best ROM for this phone.
you cant read idol 3 section?
Wow thanks for being friendly to the new guy. As I stated, I seen the big thread on the CyanogenMod 12.1. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a better ROM that you guys might know of before I put time into learning about that one.

I'm not for sure either.great work on all though.I'm leaning toward the dcz rom cause from my understanding its fast,smooth and I like stock style roms.
I didn't see a DCZ thread?

If you gonna flash a ROM know that besides dcz, only fully working ROM is cm12.1 also I'm using 60450
Ok so those are my options. Thanks. Do you know any pros/cons of one vs the other?

Well do you want stock ROM with overclock kernel(DCZ) vs the beauty and customization of cyanogenmod?
All dcz rom is a almost fully debloated stock ROM and custom kernel made by team adrv.

If the stock rom did not have such lag I'd suggest the majority stick with it unless you had a specific reason not to. Since it DOES have lag, I'd suggest the i806/DCZ rom since it is a version of stock that should eliminate the lag and work fully with the hardware. All the other rom's have issues of one type or another.
Resurrection Remix still has several things wrong..the camera off the top of my head. CM12.1 still has issues. Currently the cm12.1 dev does not have the device in hand...neither does the resurrection remix dev....working on rom's without the device is similar to driving blindfolded. You are guaranteed to get SOMEWHERE but it may not be where you want to be.
There are only 3 real roms available other than original stock and I HIGHLY recommend you backup your stock with twrp so you can go back to it for system updates. Why are the system updates so important if you are on another rom? They are the only way you can get modem driver mods/improvements among other things.
I'm not sure which I'd prefer at the moment. Guess I'll just read lol

Cm 12.1 (10/29) is most stable on my idol 3 (6045i). Resurrection Remix is not stable. Random reboots, lag and speakers and cam don't work.

Thanks for the tips. I do like performance and stability over anything. So I'll check out DCZ. I've already backed up stock.
