After updates around 5.1.* my phone started playing up and was taking longer and longer to boot, eventually getting stuck with the four coloured dots swirling around.
Time to root the phone which I duly achieved with chainfires CF-Auto-Root via fastboot (since the phone wouldn't boot up/start). I then installed TWRP and sideloaded via adb the Cataclysm ROM (both the last Lollipop and the new Marshmallow versions), performing a full factory reset first, then for good measure making sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache again (should have wiped during factory reset).
All looks good, but on booting after optimizing the applications it hangs on "Cataclysm is installing... Starting apps" and will not progress any further. I left it five hours and no progress. Powered off and rebooted and back to where I started, hangs with the four coloured dots swirling around. This was with the Lollipop version of Cataclysm so I decided to give Marshmallow a go, same result, currently stuck on "Starting apps" now for 40 minutes.
Wiping cache and dalvik cache again just results in the the applications needing to be optomised each time.
Any thoughts, advice, suggested ROMs, kernels, tricks to try or ideas on how to recover the phone would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
