Hey guys, this seems like a really dumb question buy I searched and couldn't really find a clear answer.

This ROM supports layers but can we also use the cm themes app and themes showcase type thing?

No. Either a Rom supports layers or the cm engine. Chroma supports the first one.

dirty reboots right after normal reboots??? :(

since flasing 8/31 build, whenever I have to reboot my n6 for any reason it will reboot but when i pick up the device to wake it for the first time after a reboot, it's just black and frozen (hard power button and/or gesture wakes do not work) and then goes to the Google boot logo w/ the lock at the bottom followed by the boot animation. Upon this dirty (second) reboot it will boot up fine and function normally. reproducible every single time since 8/31.

Yes I am running xposed (downloaded from the freshly established, official xda page).

Yes I have layers (Transparent and one mod from Crystal for Google Keep)

any advice is much, much appreciated.

NOTE: in the link i've provided for xposed, it is v73 and i currently -- while typing this post -- have v72 installed so i will be upgrading that to see if it affects my situation in the mean time.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajones19:
I don't run Xposed nor any layers other than stock - but if I recall correctly, the 9/1 build specifically addresses the issues you are talking about (with layers). I am sure others will weigh in ...

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper27:
Yes I have. Noticed it right away. I went back to the 8/24 build. I did do a dirty flash so dunno if that was it, but I doubt it. I am on VZW. How about you?

Im on ATT. I have noticed with 9/1 that I get the same situation where my reception meter is no bars one minute and the next 3 bars. Just doesnt seem to hold on and retain signal. Even right now with my phone being off the charger since 11am I have 5% "time without a signal".
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trooper27:
Geez really? Yeah I noticed it on both the 8/31 and 9/1 builds, strange. When I looked a short while ago I was at 22% time without signal. Normally I have nothing showing or just 0%

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] organick87:
By the way you phrased it i dunno if you mean that you thought i had layers-specific problem, that's not it. I only mentioned it as a notable thing to consider when people are responding, without knowing if it really mattered or not.

However, i did as i said and also flashed v73 xposed and my boot was successful on the first try. Also, i was on 9/1 while having these issues, should have said that.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] organick87:
a bit off topic -- how do i decrypt my n6?

i know there may be a more appropriate spot for this, but i specifically wanted feedback and answers from people whom already have their nexus 6 devices running chroma.

i have already read this guide, BUT i have some questions about what i've read and wanna make sure i got it right.

1) do i absolutely require the use of a computer to do any of this or am i able to do it all from my device?

2) in the above referenced guide it's talking about installing a kernel -- how do the procedures in the guide differ from just flashing any ol' kernel in the manner i'd just flash Franco's right now if i wanted, ya know through TWRP...

3) when formatting userdata --will "/sdcard/downloads" still remain unwiped? as this is where all my rom, gapps, kernel, mods,xposed files are kept.

4) this whole fastboot thing intimidates me a bit, i don't really do anything with it ever, i'm really just more familiar with flashing roms, kernels, updates and xposed stuff.

any other tips or guides you can link me to is great too!

thanks guys!

does chroma have init.d support?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] githyanki:
1: Only need computer or OTG usb drive or cable to back up data. Everything will be wiped. Including /sdcard/

2: Only need custom kernel if using stock ROM, or a ROM that would force encryption. CHROMA does not enforce encryption, custom kernel is included.

3: See 1. Will need computer or OTG cable to flash rom and gapps since they will be gone after decrypting.

4: Please don't decrypt. not worth it. There is no performance difference during use. A few seconds extra on booting while it decrypts partition is not worth the difficulty of removing it to me. I have done it, played around with Cyanogen some which forced encryption, never bothered to remove it again. CHROMA is so fast and smooth, I don't care about it.

---------- Post added at 01:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

I believe the answer is no.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] organick87:
to continue from your answer to #3, according to this site, it seems that formatting the data partition wouldn't be wiping the sdcard partition, however, it's a good thing you mentioned it NOW considering i was a few buttons away from doing all this, but was running into troubles with the wugfresh kit. So can you clarify again please? if i choose to do this against your wishes, i just wanna know how i'm supposed to get chroma and all my gapps and such back on if it TRULY DOES wipe sdcard. Will be waiting for your response..

EDIT: found this site, maybe this is a good way to describe what you say about the sdcard partition (the wiping vs. formatting part)

Ok, so after running JDX for a couple weeks, I'm coming back to Chroma. I'm stuck at the dreaded Google screen, and it doesn't seem to want to boot up system (I'm guessing).

I fastboot flashed completely (minus bootloader) everything from M preview 3 (radio, boot, system, recovery, cache, userdata). Fastboot flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1, booted into official M preview 3 just fine.

ADB pushed Chroma zip & TK Gapps. Factory wipe. Wipe system/data/cache. Flash Chroma & TK. Reboot. Stuck at Google logo.

Fastboot flash everything above all over again. Redownload Chroma & TK. Went through the procedure again. Stuck at Google logo.

EDIT: I'm finding that I can't seem to flash ANY 5.1.1 ROM after running Official M3 or JDX. Is there any way to revert back to L so I can get back on the Chroma bandwagon?

NAVBAR LAYERS QUESTION - how to remove the black background?

again, i know there may be better places to post some of my questions, but i want other CHROMA user feedback if possilble.

how do i make my navbar so it's just the three buttons without the ugly black bar behind it and so the buttons are on top of the foreground app when not hidden? i see so many pictures of this that the themers use to post their updates on Bitsyko (like this for example), but i can't figure it out or find the right app/mod.

if i can do this without installing a layer then awesome, but didn't see a way to do that either...

any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bnjalal:
when you dirty flash, you are only required to flash the rom .zip alone without flashing any gapps, when you clean flash, you have to wipe everything(excluding internal storage) and flash both the rom and gapps. I recommend you to start over again

After entering safe mode and seeing that wifi tether was working fine, I realized it was an app. I went through the painstackingly slow process of disabling all apps through Titanium Backup, and re-enabling them 1/2 at a time to figure out the problem one.

should i take the decryption plunge?

got my n6 some months ago - have r00ted it, kept up with chroma rom+kernel updates/test runs and such, enrolled in as many beta programs as fit my usage, installed as many xposed modules or other tools/apps as i wanted and applied a couple build.prop tweaks to get everything as i want...

i don't wanna say i'm "bored" but i like tinkering and trying new stuff and decryption is the only thing i can think of left to do, however, while researching the procedure i'm seeing that super wipes absolutely everything including everything in internal storage/sdcard and root status (? - please confirm this). Since this directory is where i have all my chroma rom .zips and kernels, xposed .zips, twrp backups, TB backups, some APKs, etc.

MY QUESTION IS:

from a completely set up status, what's the most efficient way to decrypt then get everything back to how it is right now? all backups would be deleted (since they get stored on sdcard) so i don't see how making any sort of back up would help me. anywhere i can move all my chroma files so they aren't deleted upon decryption?
