Hello, so I am a little new to this. I used to Nexus Root Toolkit to unlock my bootloader and then root my nexus 4. I don't think the root worked but I saw that this rom did not require rooting so I decided to go ahead and try to flash it. When i was trying to root it automatically installed TWRP, so I just threw the zip on my phone and flashed it. After chroma finished installing, I only had very few apps and most were not working so I flashed GApps, I got it from Open GApps Project. I chose the Nano option for 6.0 and ARM platform. After I flashed them Wizard Setup was not working and I was getting a black screen, but i managed to fix that my giving it permissions. However, most of my apps are still not working, Play Store which now launches gives me the following error message "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]". I checked my internet connection and it appears to be just fine. I am a little lost now, what should I do?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
You DO NEED rooting.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Vailone:
I was not rooted, not sure how I managed to install Chroma if root was needed. Anyways, I rooted, and fixed play store. I uninstalled all the apps that were not working and started manually installing them from the play store which got them to work. Everything seems to work fine now except one thing. I am getting a constant pop-up that says "unfortunately google play services has stopped". I tried flashing the Gapps that were provided in the op, but when i tried it gave me this error "unable to mount usb-otg". It gives me the error in the beginning and then the installation process continues, so i am not sure if it is actually interfering with it. Anyways the only thing that is bothering me right now is the "unfortunately google play services has stopped" pop-up, any idea how to fix it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
Let me put it like this. If you managed to install a custom rom the least you could do is rooting.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zibiksior:
Hi, what camera app do you guys use with this rom? I clean flashed latest version with latest gapps from OP today. After installing google camera and changing it to video recording camera app crashes instantly... N4 is my temporary phone so correct me if it's some known bug ;) but I didn't found any info in this thread :(

BTW why there is no camera app in gapps?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
The last working Google Camera for our Nexus 4 is v 2.7. V3 was built for the newer devices. Uninstall the camera app and install the one from the link below.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-7-008-release/
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
Gapps never brought a camera app.

I used Z Camera but I didn't like it having a gallery app. I'm now using Open Camera which is ad free and works really well.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zibiksior:
Hmm ok I normally have N5 and there always was camera app after flashing gapps ;)

Never mind I know everything I should know after those two posts :) Thanks guys!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mathorv:
There are lke 4 different custom kernels for N4 MM anyone can share his experience and battery life difference on custom kenels?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Can anyone point me in the right direction to enable double tap 2 wake for this rom?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CyberZeus1977:
I flashed Quanta Kernel and installed Quanta Tweeks on my N4 to enable DT2W. Hope this helps

Nexus 6P with Chroma rocks!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
Settings -> chroma -> gestures?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
Only has double tap 2 sleep option. But quanta kernel+quanta tweaks has what I need and its working great.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
Correct. DT2W is a custom kernel feature - most Roms will not have it in their stock kernels, and therefore will not have a place to enable it.

But most of the popular custom kernels right now have it (Quanta, HellsCore, Taurus, etc.). Almost any custom kernel tweaker app will allow you to turn it on/off (as long as the kernel supports it).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] reikar:
Hi,

Is it only for me or for everyone that when adjusting volume, the panel stays on top of screen and doesn't fade away automatically?

I remember that it wasn't always this way.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Gun_:
It takes about 5 seconds to disappear on my phone
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
THIS. IS. SO. ANNOYING. Seriously it drives me crazy. I hate it that it doesn't disappear
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
Tapping anywhere else on the screen makes the volume panel disappear instantly. I'm too impatient to wait 5 seconds, so this is what I've always done, and it still works.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
Yeah I do the same

Hey is anybody having issues with the sim toolkit disappearing? It's weird I rebooted but without luck

[Nexus 4 Android Development] hozjacz:
Hi, I came back to Chroma yesterday after a few months with CM13. I did a clean flash with recommended gapps. Everything works fine.

But I noticed that here is NO CAMERA app. I know, that here were some questions for this, but I don't know what is recommended camera. On CM13 I used their good camera and Google Camera for Nexus 4 was updated last year.

I tried download newest version of Google Camera, but this apps falls. Which camera is recommended?

Thx for answer

I remember that someone said the last version of Google Camera supports Nexus 4 was 2.7.008. I use this version and it works fine. You can go to the some "google apk downloader" website to download it.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Chroma is known for not very frequent updates, but that doesn't mean the development is done. Zephik will push an update sometime in the future, I'm sure of it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Gun_:
If you mean the camera app there are new versions, but there aren't compatible with nexus 4 camera and the app crashes.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] techtoid:
I want to install chroma but cant get the latest TWRP to install (cant get adb or fastboot to recognise my phone)

I have downloaded onto my phone latest GAPPS and the Chroma rom, the version of TWRP i have is 2.6.3.0

my question is what will happen if I try to install chroma with this old version of TWRP?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CyberZeus1977:
It may not install

Nexus 6P with Chroma rocks!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
If you haven't wiped anything , and you can still use your phone to download stuff, etc, then download Flashify from the Play Store, open the app, tap on "Recovery image", then "Download twrp", choose the latest version (3.0.2.0), and follow the instruction to successfully install it.

BUT if you wiped the system, meaning that you can't boot up the phone, follow the instructions I wrote in this post a while back ago. Read carefully and don't rush anything. Take your time.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66143175&postcount=6467

PS: Using the twrp that you currently have installed, will cause problems.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] techtoid:
Awesome!

that could have saved me hours of frustration yesterday :silly:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Bazim:
I have problem with camera. My camre just long flashes and then picture ( photo and in display too ) is really dark. Why?

In advanced wipe in latest TWRP (before installing Chroma) which things do I want to wipe from the following..

Dalvik/ART cache

System

Data

Internal Storage

Cache

?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Bazim:
I using the 2.7.008 :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
If you want to do a clean flash, just select to wipe everything EXCEPT for the internal storage.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] techtoid:
Chroma and Gapps installed but I cant get past the 'welcome' screen,

trying to sign into wifi produces the box 'Unfortunately, Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped.'

after pressing 'OK' and 'skip anyway' i'm taken back to the 'welcome' screen again.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Gapps problem. You should try Banks Gapps. Despite the size of the zip file, only the Google services, Google Play Store and Google search will be installed. You can get the rest of the apps straight from the Play Store. Banks Gapps have always been the best.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762635997726

As for the keyboard, now that you mentioned it crashed, try the new Google keyboard. It's superior to the AOSP one and probably the best of all at the moment.

i have problem with videos... my phone doesn't play videos with standard video app and in apps like Facebook or youtube...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I just put Franco's kernel in there for the low level support. I didn't add any of his profiles in yet
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ihancioglu:
May I flash your build stock kernel from latest test build for now?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Not as a full boot image. I'm getting some testing done on a few things that you can flash after like if you want the stock kernel
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yaymalaga:
So at the moment we keep franco kernel, right?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] icu64:
Bro the kernel is really acting up. First I started the phone up and it starts on performance and stays that way. I tried using vomer tweaks to fix that and it caused an issue because the first two cores got stuck at 1ghz..... Sadness lol
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Performance is how the normal kernel acts, there is no tweaks added to it to behave like anything other then stock and has no configuration in it yet till I convert Franco's changes over to init.d changes.

You can flash ak or hellscore or hells doctor also since they are anykernels and will bring tweaking in. They don't mess with the ramdisk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adstraylight:
Hint: keep syko's afh profile in your favourites, as it shows his latest uploads.. ;)

Not stalking you syko, honest....btw, do you always code in the nude?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ebsbow:
Seems to tune down with auditor. Performance isnt stock but great for speeding . ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Damn straight because screw wearing pants
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HiM@L:
damn...now i am confused to flash or not flash custom anykernel...after reading changelog.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adstraylight:
So what name do you prefer for the YouTube stream, Syko Live, or Coder in the Raw?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Spiralzz:
You can.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hmillos:
Hay guys, im a little outdated here, do we still need to flash gapps and supersu after a dirty flash?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I don't think there are too many boot image kernels out there for the n4 tbh other then franco.

Same with the n5 anymore except for Franco.

code blue is now a anykernel.

The n6 though is mostly boot image kernels because the devs either came from other devices where full boot images were needed or they just followed what was already out there
[Nexus 4 Android Development] adstraylight:
I know for sure that gapps are preserved, so no need to reflash those, but I do reflash superSU, as the last time I didn't, I lost root. Syko did mention that he would add it to the script though..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
I believe there is supposed to be a option in the ROM for SuperSU survival.

Tbh you guys have played with chroma more then I have (it is the n4 port all over again ? )
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 22sl22:
It's in the SU app itself. It's one of thee things I always see but always forget to turn on :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
There u go. I knew it was somewhere
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Alright, here is a zip to flash after you flash your kernel if it is distributed as a full boot image (if it in doubt, open the zip up and see if it has a boot.img in it).

This zip unpacks the boot image on your phone and opens he ramdisk and replaces it with the sepolicy, sepolicy related files, init binary and init.rc (init.rc is the main init for core functions, this is the same across all android devices while init.device.rc is the one that gets modified for a per device basis)

This also has a modified fstab for those wanting f2fs support for cache and data.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553712

I would highly suggest not flashing any full boot images on the nexus 4 since they would be for 5.0.1 and not 5.1 so even this might not be enough there.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] calvinlam911:
I sometimes have the problem which the photo was dark when turned on the flash. So, I always turn off the flash. Did you have this problem when you used other camera apps? If yes, it seem to be the hardware problem.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Bazim:
Other apps IS ok with photo but Other apps cant video every time app crashing

[Nexus 4 Android Development] calvinlam911:
It seem that it is not hardware problem. You might try to clear the cache of the camera apps. If it still happens, try to delete the settings and data of the camera apps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hozjacz:
I read a few last pages of this thread and I noticed, that no more Google Play updates of Google Camera for Nexus 4, no more GP updates for Google keyboard for Nexus 4 etc..., although we have last Android 6.0.1.

Why? What the problem?

I have to download apks from apkmirror. What is the reason?

Odesláno z mého Nexus 4 pomocí Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
First of all, we don't have official Android 6.0.1.

The newer Google camera versions are not compatible and won't be compatible with our N4 because of hardware limitations. There wouldn't be additional features other than stuff related to the interface. So no additional functionality because the N4 can't do more than what it's currently able to do. For example our phone can't do "burst shots" because a much more faster camera sensor is requited for that, etc. And the newer camera builds bring improvements to that sort of stuff.

As for the Google keyboard, that is not something limited by hardware. It's purely software so there's NO such thing as > no more updates <.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] debsuvra:
I think Google Keyboard updates are released on waves, so it's a waiting game for now.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
What do you mean. The new Google keyboard v5 is already available for all the device that run Android 4.2+ and that includes our phone as well. The arm- no dpi version is for our phone. I'm using it right now. Gk is not an app that Google updates for a specific device. It's basically "universal", and the 2 versions are designed to work with a ton of devices that have a 32bit arm chip inside and the other one is for arm64- 64bit chip devices.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] debsuvra:
I completely agree with you. I'm not saying Google Keyboard is device specific. But Google doesn't always release the updates of their apps through Google Play Store at the same time. They often release big updates in waves, so not all users are going to get the update notifications from Play Store at the same time but they'll eventually get it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Oh, you were talking about the Play Store updates. I stopped updating through the Store a long time ago. APKMirror is my best source for that.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] debsuvra:
Sometimes I just wait around for a while and just download the delta updates from Play Store. Saves data, you know. :P
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
I always update when I'm connected to WiFi, so data is not a problem for me. I accidentally set it once to upgrade my apps on wifi and mobile and that cost me a lot of data as there were 16 apps waiting to be updated, so it happened when I was on a train. Sad day. Lol
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
I smell incoming Chroma build.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hozjacz:
I understand that Nexus 4 hardware has limits. But I think if Google wants, is possible to do backward-compatible camera application.

And as you told, with Google Keyboard are here no hardware limits and I can download only very old version from Google Play although v. 5.x works fine for me (I don't believe for distribution waves, available version is very very very old).

I think, that Google wants to induce Nexus 4 users to switch to newer phone.

My question is, which next Google apps I have to updated from other sources than Google Play?

Thanks for your continued support.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
App updates from Google play can be made staged. They go from 1% of Android users to 100% in a few weeks. The same goes for OS updates for Android. Right now, Google Keyboard is being rolled out in stages. This is because if there is any bug in the app then only a few % of users are affected. This stages rollout is very frustrating for people who always want their apps up to date. You can download it from other sources and it will work just fine except for a few bugs here and there.

You need to use only the Google Camera v2.7 APK Mirror. Never update it because it will break your camera. The newer camera on the Play Store needs advanced hardware which Nexus 4 does not have.

Google is not trying to induce you with upgrading your phone. For example, Google Contacts app was compatible with only 6.0+ at launch. A few days back they made it compatible to 5.0+ bringing it to a lot more devices.

The only apps which are 6.0+ compatible are Google Dialer and Google Calculator. These, I believe, will be made available in the coming weeks through the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] pkvce:
Can i port this rom for other device.

If yes then please share the source kernel of this rom.

After clean installation my device is stuck on boot.

Any ideas? only the 13/3 build works for me.

Does the new version fix the SuperSU not installed thing after flashing the ROM?

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
oh sweet another build! thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
You're welcome :) thanks for sticking with the ROM even though I don't provide as many updates as I normally do in the past.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
Thanks zephik. I consider stability a function in itself though
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
:) If only N4 had proper binaries for Marshmallow, it'd be even more stable / fast.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Very true. To bad Google abandoned such a decent phone. I envy Apple's users who still get updates on their old iPhones.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bigb1234:
Dirty flashed latest build. Everything working fine as new. Thanks zephik.[emoji2] [emoji106] [emoji106]

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Wassupdog:
I did a clean flash for the new update (wiped cache,dalvik,system and data).

after flashing the ROM the phone is stuck on bootloop.

Only 3/13 build works for me.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
1. Did you restore any data or flashed SuperSU ?

2. What version of twrp are you using ?

Please answer on point.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Wassupdog:
1. After flashing the ROM it says I don't have SuperSU and asked me to swipe if I want to install, I did.

Didn't restore any data.

2. I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
1. That's what screwed thing up, installing the SuperSU given by twrp. NEVER do that.

2. Go ahead and install twrp 3.0.2.0 which is the the latest version and you'll notice that it doesn't have the SuperSU message anymore. Flash it and then try again flashing the ROM. Do a complete wipe again before flashing the ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Wassupdog:
I will try and update.

Thanks!

UPDATE: Works great! Thanks!

[Nexus 4 Android Development] bigb1234:
Install Leandroid app. This tiny app takes care of this issue pretty well.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Try it in only GPS mode, not high accuracy mode. Also, you could try using "Here Maps" or "Waze" in high accuracy mode at first, then in normal mode and make a comparison.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] totalnoobs:
It seems ok now, thanks again dragos! :good:
