Is really strange. The error dictates that the system is out of memory (not even remotely the case with 2gb of ram)

The only issue that I'm currently having is with the stock messaging app. It seems to very slow and hangs up when typing. Also when viewing all conversations it doesn't fit the screen width.

If I'm not too late I can test also and supply feedback... Also can take logs if necessary.

Use Handscent from playstore until the default messaging app bug is fixed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pas_scorpion:
Yea I downloaded GO SMS. Seems to work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] WizeGuyDezignz:
I figured out the messaging app problem. It is the chaos theme that is causing the issue. I downloaded and installed the MiiPhone theme and it is smooth and working normal now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmseaholm:
So far no major issues. It runs very smooth. Just the messaging slowness mentioned above and no swiping with the browser search. That's all I found so far. Excellent job!

I take back the messaging issue, before I switched themes it was slow now it's smooth and quick sending. I haven't sent any pictures yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Good to hear!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rmseaholm:
Hey Treken can I enable infinite scrolling in the launcher. I know how on TW not sure on yours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] oneandroidnut:
Only thing I saw too was messaging and change the theme fixes that so something funky there

Everything seems really smooth!

Going out of town tomorrow for a few days so back on my stock rooted tw but will run this again when I'm back home!

I'm not aware of that feature in Chameleon launcher. They may add it though

First Pass Bug Report

Basically everything is pretty smooth.

Wifi, 2g & 5g all fine.

Nandroid online backup works great!

I got several SystemUI FC when using apps, tapatalk 4.0 Beta, gmail, etc... The FC on the SystemUI was really intermittent so I could not pinpoint what was causing the issue.

Couple of bugs that I was able to track down:

Setting > Systems> Status Bar

Signal Status Style FC on SystemsUI when select any of the options

However when the SystemsUI restarts the selection that was made is on. I.E. Text / Icon / hidden

PC Connect: Win 7 x64 DaBeast *****es!!!

MTP works fine: thumbup:

PTP no SD card does not show up

When playing music on Apollo through speaker Works! all possible combinations of DSP and apps messaging, Music fades out on call, then fades back in when call ends… Nice!

Connection of headset causes SystemUI to FC, Does not stop the music…

(Tupac, California Love) Thunder *****es!!!!

Bass Boost kicks A$$... Like too much A$$, Had to turn the $h!t down!

Turning up vol with headset attached FC SystemUI (intermittent FC)

Will try Nova and other stuff and let you know. Nothing a real deal breaker so far. Will see how this works with KT and Faux if he has a AOSP kernel.

How do you do a Screen Shot in this ROM?

Edit.

Now that I am working more with it, the SystemUI FC are happening more often. (It is almost getting annoying...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Power button +volume down at the same time for screen shot. wizard0f0s will be reviewing the log cat to help track down these bugs.

Running great so far! No FC and very smooth. First time trying chameleon os on any android device and I like it! Good Work and thanks

Not likely, as there is a market app for that. Search for ChargeBar. Very easy and customizable.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
There are AOSP elements that are pulled into this from google but it wouldn't be considered a pure AOSP ROM afaik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] saul1991:
nice! does it have the tw camera? im downloading it right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
No tw camera as of now. the tw camera is device specific and wouldn't be incorporated in the Chameleon ROM unless they figure how to do it w/o cause other devices problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bizack:
Is the dl in the op the same ver as yesterday's?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Yes, but the Chaos team is working on the fix and version .8 will be released before long with included fix :)

I got an error after dowoading saying it might contain a virus......

That's a first. Try redownloading. Maybe it got corrupted while downloading. Other than that I don't know what else to tell you.

Also you can find an md5 verifier on line for windows (I don't do apple) so you can check it.

Treken and ChaOS team,

Great ROM guys. So far I have not come across any issues at all except the default theme messaging thing as others. This is only my second ROM on this phone as I have switched over to this from Sprint S3. I must say it is clean, it is fast, battery is great. Keep up the great work.

Working on an update. I compiled another build and tested it. Everything was perfect...no FC's or lag, however, the signal was poor and although I could make and receive calls he internet was very poor. I'm trying to get this fixed before uploading another release. If anyone care to test the new build with the signal problem let me know and I'll give you the link.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I'd be happy to test.

Thanks in advance

I can test the new build also. :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkrickles:
I'm sorry I didn't get on here last night, but was a little busy.

Anyway, newest build is real good, but as you said signal is a little funky.

I just got to my office and had to restore one of my other roms that I have stashed.

Build seems stable and should be very popular once you get signal issues worked out.

I'll throw this on later to mess around a little more when I can live with the signal issue.

Let me know if you have anything else to test.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pas_scorpion:
Ok after some playing around I was getting some FC's while attempting to add new tiles to the quick settings menu. I also was having issues with the camera. When attempting to take a picture the camera would freeze. The messaging app seemed to work this time around though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Just uploaded a new update. It seems to be bug-free and signal is good. Tried to replicate some of the glitches described in previous posts such as changing signal icon, messaging, and adding tiles to quick toggle but everything worked great.

Thanks, I didn't have much of a chance to test your previous build due to work and family.

I'll put this through the ringer over the next couple of days.

Latest build I am unable to end phone call in any way. Tried reinstalling, no go. Have to wait for other end to disconnect or reboot phone. Sms app lag is gone and no sys ui fc this far. I use phone too much to be able to have issues with it. Will test next build

I'm still tracking down the issue. Quickly hitting airplane mode on and off from toggles is a work around untili get it fixed.

Edit: new build was uploaded. If anyone has tested it out I need to know if it was stable for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXJay_RXx:
Okay so I've flashed it and so far so good. There's a little lag but nothing that's bad. I also getting a FC in settings if I'm in settings and hit the back button but nothing bad again. Can I use an AOSP kernel on this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Not sure about using an AOSP kernel. You could always backup and then flash. I'm going to be uploading a new build tomorrow if everything seems good. I had another build that is newer than the last one I uploaded and I tried to replicate the FC from hitting back when in system settings but no FC while running it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXJay_RXx:
Yea I'm not getting the FCs anymore. I did flash KToonz AOSP kernel and everything seems fine. The phone is a little hot but I'm using it, getting everything set up and charging at the same time so that must be why. However, I get reboots whenever I uninstall SetCPU or CPU Master or any CPU app. It must be kernel related. So far everything is smooth n working great. Sms sending fine. I work night shift so I'll be using my phone a lot more as the night goes on so I'll input more as I go. Sure is a lot smoother than the last build I tried
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Awesome. I went ahead and uploaded build-7/17:

Ran this ROM for a while on the Note II, and it was pretty solid. I did have one gripe before, that I still have now - can you change the number of home screens? Besides that, it's as solid as me all day during the 4th of July
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXJay_RXx:
I've come across quite an annoying glitch. When using Apollo music, if I use the lock screen widget too much, it goes full screen like this, flickers rapidly and the music stops. When I go into Apollo, the controls won't work. The only way I can get it to work again is to force close it and start it up again. I clean installed after experiencing some issues earlier from dirty flashing and I'm using using the stock kernel so I'm not sure if it has to do with the ROM or the Apollo ap

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

Okay so when I'm listening to music (from Apollo or PowerAmp), the music freezes and the app force closes if I'm looking in the gallery at my pics. I have a 64GB micro SD card so I'm not sure if that's what's causing this but thought it would be important to point out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
Definitely something to note. I've been going to the cm tread for the SGS IV when someone brings up an issue and come across it there as well. Since this is cm based I would expect the issue is there too. I'll look into it and see what I can find out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xXJay_RXx:
Oh I didn't know people at the CM thread were having the same issues. Its not a big deal for me since I'll only be having the phone for a few more hours. I seen someone post earlier in the thread that they could hang up calls and that indeed has been fixed. For anyone reading this, there are a few bugs as I pointed out earlier but this ROM is solid. The AppBar and the messaging app are great. Easily two of my favorite features of this ROM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Treken:
What other bugs are you experiencing other than the music app freezing when viewing your photo gallery? You said bugs so I'm assuming there were other issues besides the music app?

Here are some issues in cm that should have been resolved:

Ok, are you using a custom kernel? Also, for the music issue, have you tried to wipe the apps cache?

Nope. On my break around 1am I decided to clean install it n this time it was so smooth, a custom kernel was not needed. But I'll have to try wiping the cache later when I wake up n use my phone more often

This rom is AMZAZING! :victory: Its smooth, attractive, and most importantly.. different from all the usual TouchWiz and AOSP roms.

Only bug ive experienced so far ( few hours of use) is when you hit the back key in system settings>system>quick settings>tiles and layout, it FCs everytime.

Also can you add an option to remove/change the image from the launcher dock? its set as a gloss black table, but it doesnt really look "3D" and also doesnt match alot of themes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hoppermi:
Yeah, the dock background is a new image, I haven't had a chance to update my themes with it. I will try and do that this weekend. Thank you for the kind words:D
