[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daihard:
It's not a matter of how hard it is to port Chroma to other devices. As zephiK has stated many times, Chroma is for his own use. His current daily driver is the Nexus 6P, but he is generous enough to build it for other Nexus devices such as the Nexus 5/5X/6. Since he doesn't use the Moto X and it is not a Nexus, I don't see any reason he would build Chroma for it.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this but I'd love to put in a feature request to the devs. The only thing missing from this ROM which I would love to see is the Profiles that allow you to change ringtone and notification volumes based on which WiFi network you are connected to. For example I am using Tasker at the moment to turn my phone down automatically whenever I'm connected to the WiFi in my office, and as soon as I leave and disconnect from the WiFi it reverts back to full volume. This feature is present in the CM11/12 ROMs and if it doesn't have a huge foot print it would be great to see it added to Chroma so I no longer need to use Tasker.

Thanks for reading.

The problem is when he says to dirty flash a new version, to wipe system and both caches, but when I do this I start getting Google play services FC's..

You're not supposed to wipe system when you dirty flash. Only cache & dalvik cache.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanallaire:
I know, but per the OP instructions it says to wipe system as well, which I usually only do for a clean flash. Anyway what I'll do is only wipe the caches next time I update and see if that works.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouyamaster:
Elemental X with the 3.00 manager in play store. Enables tap to wake and all direction slide to wake. I just disable selinux during install. Try it and report back on battery life.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxBrun0xx:
Doesn't Slide to wake prevent the CPU from sleeping? He may not want to enable that if he's looking for battery life. I've been using hellscore kernel and getting fantastic battery life. Got 4+ hours SOT yesterday with 35% left when I went to bed. Not bad!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouyamaster:
Enabling slide to wake is optional. I also carry an external charge pack and charge whenever at my desk. If I don't do anything at all and the phone stays hybernated when I'm not at my desk it lasts at least the 8 hour day. Plugging it in just when playing games will help because gaming drains the battery like crazy. I believe if the phone isn't doing anything doze should make the phone battery life last longer.

Not sure about all that. but what's the point of marshmallow if you disable all the features. I've had 35% when sleeping and I use tap and slide to wake and always have Bluetooth on for android wear. I currently have 16 hours sot and if this app let me post my screenshot I would. Can't really say about other kernels. But great battery life with elemental x.

I think I did something wrong...

tl;dr, google apps crash. They keep giving me the crashed message. Play store works, chrome, maps, gmail, and a few other things don't work.

So, I downloaded both of the latest zips, the ROM and the GApps. I didn't unzip them. I flashed them onto my Nexus 6 (which is on 6.0.1) using TWRP recovery. To do this, I booted into TWRP recovery and pressed the Install button. I then selected the ROM zip first, then the GApps zip. And then I installed.

So, it took a few minutes to do it's thing, and booted. With the fancy new splash screen. :)

But then I got the crash message for like 6 different google apps, including maps and chrome. Also, I rebooted and it re-optimized all of my apps. I have a feeling it's not supposed to do that. Help?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxBrun0xx:
Nope, just flash and go.

Try a different gapps package. Sounds like an incomplete download.

Elemental x 3.08 causing pixelation in you tube. Last time I got this issue with the last Rom re dirty flashing made it go away. This time redirty flashing fixes everything except you tube.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouyamaster:
I assure its achievable but only when the phone is hybernated most of the time. On to other matters. Is anyone who uses elementalx or another custom kernel getting pixelated video after playing you tube for 5 minutes? I'm on the latest elemental x and this issue is very frustrating. Last time I kept clearing the caches and it eventually went away. This time no such luck. You tube becomes unwatchable unless I hybernate my phone and re unlock it. Then it returns to normal.

I don't have that option, but thanks though
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
That makes absolutely no sense. If the phone is hibernating most of the time, it is impossible to get 16 hours screen on time because the screen isn't on.

I use Elemental as well. I can underclock, and undervolt to the bare minimum allowed for this device to run smoothly, as well as keep 2 cores turned off completely, with a few other tweaks and only can max out at about 8 hours screen on time with about 24 hours total uptime. 16 hours SOT is a very large claim and to appease a lot of people, we need to see pictures and settings or it didn't happen.

You are literally saying you have the longest lasting battery in any nexus 6 in the world, and are not providing any evidence to prove it. Hell. Upload images to image Shack and post links because... A lot of people have a hard time believing this claim. A lot of people would also benefit greatly if it is indeed true.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouyamaster:
Dude its the projected sot. Do you go to battery properties I've seen 24 hours or over a day there. It goes down when you use it. If you're only texting or using email it lasts me at least 8 hours. It isn't that hard to just carry a charge pack or charge when possible. Shutting every marshmallow feature defeats the purpose. Try after not using anything at all. Remove your phone from the charger. Hybernate it. Then wake it up go to settings->battery and if you don't have at least 16 hours "projected" sot you have to many things running or use your phone way to often. Yes running games and texting every second will make it go down. And it makes sense. If the phone isnt doing anything Doze kicks in and it takes longer for the power to drop. I haven't underclocked anything. With occasional texting only it lasts pretty long.

Do I have to do anything special to flash the latest update? I'm on Chroma 6.0.0, and I kind of feel like when Chroma 6.0.1 released you had to do a little more than flashing via TWRP, but I can't seem to find it to confirm.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouyamaster:
As long as it was stock marshmallow or another version of marshmallow it's fine. If it was a 5.x lollipop ROM you had to flash stock marshmallow first to get the marshmallow bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:
Now the full truth comes out. You never said projected SOT. Projected is not a viable source for battery consumption. It is an estimate that the OS thinks the phone can get, but it never does get it. Hibernation and SOT are 2 completely different. Hibernation happens a little after screen off. SOT is the amount of time the screen spends turned on. So basically while the phone is in use. I can promise you that you will never see 16 hours of screen on time with a single charge on this phone.

Perception is reality. You made it sound like you get 16 hours of SOT per full charge. You never once made mention of projected until now.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouyamaster:
Didn't really think about it. You use elemental x? Ever have a problem with pixelated video with you tube? The video becomes distorted and I have to hynernate my phone to resume play. It never happened on the stock ROM. But I've never used chroma without elemental x kernel. Pixelation sometimes happens in games or just randomly. Hybernating the phone fixes it also. However it happens 100% of the time when running a video on you tube. Do you think that flashing a different kernel ie Franco might make the issue go away? Or am I way off? Can there be another fix or does the you tube app just straight up suck?

Quick question, I dirty flashed 1/18 and now when I select "Security" under "Settings" I get a force close. Googled for a while and tried a few things I found, but nothing seems to fix the issue. Am I correct in thinking I essentially need to wipe the phone clean and start again from the ground up?

Any guidance is GREATLY appreciated.

Settings->Security Causes Settings to FC After Setting Password Lock [Chroma 1/18/16]

Hello, I bought a Nexus 6 off the recent Amazon sale, rooted it and flashed Chroma (and the recommended GApps) on it. It has been great so far, until this morning when I decided I wanted to have it password locked. After doing that Settings FCs. If I go to Settings again everything is fine, until I select Security, it FCs again. The password lock is in place, but I can't change it, or disable it.

I tried a cache/Dalvik Cache wipe and reboot.

I tried the solution outlined here: http://xdaforums.com/nexu...close-t2161674

I tried a complete wipe and clean flashed Chroma and GApps a couple of times. This removes the password lock, but if if I try to set a password again the same thing happens.

I updated the radio.

I am back to where I was this morning, no password, but unable to set one.

I haven't tried a pattern or PIN lock.

Any help would be appreciated.

I use this rom since I got my Nexus 6 and never had any bigger problems with it.

But since the upgrade to Android 6 I have to fight with 2 Problems. Not big problems, but they're kind of getting annoying, since they're happening pretty often.

The one problem is, that everytime I plug the phone into the PC it sets to Charge Only. I already changed it in developers settings to MTP, but that's not making a difference..

The other problem I have from time to time is a weird problem with videos, at least so it seems?

When it occurs I am not longer able to; send snapchat videos (receiving works though), watch youtube videos (unknown error) or watch gifs/videos on facebook.

This can be "fixed" by restarting the phone, but since this seems to happen more frequent, like 2-3 times a day, it's getting really annoying..

I already tried clean flashing it, but the problem persists.

Any idea what the problem could be?

I read somewhere else, that it could have something to do with some kind of media server, but the thread was about android 2.3 and I wasn't able to find that in the taskmanager in Android 6.

Is there anything to fix this?
