[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You can use whatever kernel you'd like with Chroma. The best experience in my opinion would be the out of the box, Lean Kernel is another great kernel that I'd personally recommend.

You'd want to flash Franco Kernel zip as its r19. The ROM ships with r18 because the updated kernel released after the latest ROM build. The next build will include r19.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amritsg:
Thanks! What are the differences between Franco and Lean? Also, does double tap to wake and double tap to sleep on the status bar kill battery life?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You're responsible for finding out what the differences are between the two kernels. You can't expect other people to literally tell you everything without you doing your part.

And no, both of those features do not "kill battery life."

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
1. You're not even running the latest version of the ROM.

2. If you're having force closes, what apps? If it's Google related, then delete your layers as they're conflicting with the new Google apps.

3. Only banks gapps is supported here.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 9voltchicken:
Just wanted to let you know that I managed to fix it. The issue was related to me cellular networks options. It was basically set to be on the metro pcs network (i use T mobile) with a 'global' network type. I hadn't considered these options since i've only had carrier branded phones that had carrier-specific roms.

Thanks for your help! So far the battery life and performance is fantastic!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:

Glad to see that you resolved the issue. It's unfortunate that there's nothing I can do to have it default to T-Mobile instead of MetroPCS since MetroPCS is owned by T-Mobile.

[OT] On a different note, do you guys have any suggestions as to which layer seems to look good?

Either they look like unicorn rainbows with blinding colors, or they're just mono-chromatically dark :( Any suggestions?

Correct. Or you can go into ROM settings and set the color to black which hides the charging LED.

Disable charge LED?

Is there a way to disable the green LED light at the front speaker that appears while charging?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Many ways,

1. use Franco's paid app

2. use shell to disable it (find the path)

3. use http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/app-charging-led-mode-changer-t2963847

Not sure why you want it to be disabled, it tells you that your phone is charging and that your cable isn't loose. When its fully done charging, the LED turns off.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonlab:
Well because I'm using Light Flow for custom LED colours to show while low battery, charging, full battery etc. and having the default green LED come up at the same time as LF messes with the colours.

However, I didn't know about the LED turning off when its fully charged :eek: I might just rely on that instead. Thanks for letting me know and also for the methods of disabling it in case I change my mind :D
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Ah the light flow part makes sense. Both ways would work great, I mean I guess with all the complaints it would have been cool to have the Led light up when the phone is done charging but at the same time you want to be sure the phone is charging and the cable didn't get loose or something.

After the 03/06 update, Pocket Casts now seem to corrupt files it downloads. The app plays the podcasts just fine for anything from 5-30 minutes, then stops playback and then I get a message saying something was wrong with the file. I've tried wiping the apps cache, but no luck. On Spotify I get occasional incidents where playback stops (although the app seems to continue playing music ) and I have to pause and restart playing. Can happened every 5 minutes, or once an hour.

Also, my Sony bluetooth headset have become unstable after the same update, after locking the screen it skips and falls out for a second or so at the time. Unlocking and locking the screen a few times seem to do the trick. It also have trouble connecting to my phone via NFC. None of these things have been an issue before this update.

I'll try a factory reset later, but just wanted to know if these are known issues or if anyone else are experiencing the same things?

Hey all love this rom , I just have two issues which I have not been able to resolve even after searching in the forums:

1. Can't seem to get 5ghz WiFi networks to show up in the WiFi menu

Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
1. Anything wifi related is kernel. Ensure wifi frequency band in wifi settings is automatic and not set to 2.4.

2. I had set ambient display custom values in the settings a couple days ago which I think was causing this problem. Since turning the custom values off I haven't had any problems.

OK, I have successfully rooted and flashed TWRP (2.8.2.1). I flashed the Chroma ROM, then GApps, then SuperSU (all linked from OP).

When I boot, I receive an error, repeatedly, that says "Google Play Services has stopped". My "uneducated" guess says that this may be a problem with clearing the cache. I tried to clear the cache in the app settings but it didn't seem to work - the app just continued crashing.

The instructions in the OP just say to perform a factory reset. TWRP *does* say that this includes Data, Cache, and Dalvik.

Since this didn't work, I tried this:

Wipe > Advance Wipe > checked Dalvik Cache, System, and Data > Wiped

Wipe > Factory Reset

Then I cleared the Dalvik Cache again before rebooting. But I still receive the same error. I’m starting to think I’m barking up the wrong tree.
