IT BOOTED! Miracle. :eek:

Using [MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] sb franco kernel. Time to test lolli on f2fs out.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] supersomething:
hey guys,

i got past the boot animation loops. needed to fix the storage bug before all went well.

just finished installing franco kernel. now i am stuck at "android is starting" animation. all was ok using stock kernel.

so sad.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zaclimon:
Must be so fast, the time stopped (Gintama reference XD)

Also [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] I've left below the franco.Kernel zImage and I synced all the F2FS commits from my SM-Franco. It should be working now. I compiled it with arm-linux-androideabi-4.7. (the same toolchain franco uses so I could keep the kernel as unchanged as possible..)

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
My phone charges till 100, then I disconnect it and it shows about 72 - 86 % battery. I tried charging it in recovery, then switched off, but it just keeps bump charging. And then when it reaches 50% or 20% it shuts off. I don't know what to do already changed battery, changed wall outlets, changed charger, cables, read the whole internet.. whelp
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Your battery is decalibrated. You must charge the phone to 100%, then keep it away from the charged and use it till it turns off, then charge it again to 100% and use it till it powers off on its own. And after that do one more charge-discharge cycle and the battery should be calibrated. Don't worry, it's nit a big problem. It's not gonna blow up.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] WHOARETHROLL:
Battery calibration

you need to delete batterystats.bin, which is in the device / data / system / batterystats.bin

Need ROOT.

There is a great program that will do everything herself + instructions inside, but again - you need ROOt.

This Battery Calibration.

Thus, calibrate the battery, and will show the correct level of charge, and even more work.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
I already did that, now it's at 100 per cent, 99, 98, but if I restart it it'll be around 20% wtf?

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

isn't that supposed to be a myth?

plus: I already hard reseted, wiped everything, reflashed, flashed again,
[Nexus 4 Android Development] projectnexus:
Would like to try out this ROM. Just wondering does OpenGapps micro work with this ROM? The link for the Gapps in the first post is not working
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
http://opengapps.org

Make sure you choose the correct version (arm, etc)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] projectnexus:
Guys, how long does the first boot take? Mine's been going for close to 30 mins still on the Chroma logo... :/ What should I do?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
The right procedure coming from a different ROM:

- reboot into recovery

- wipe everything except for the internal storage, from the Advanced wipe section

- Flash the ROM, Gapps, SuperSU

-reboot to system.

Make sure you're using the latest version of twrp (3.0.2.0).

30 minutes means your phone won't boot because of a problem. If you, by any chance, are on f2fs instead of ext4, you need a custom kernel with support for it. But if you haven't formatted your phone to f2fs, you're ok and you can just follow the steps I mentioned above.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] projectnexus:
Ok I've done the steps above, except for SuperSU cuz I didnt want root. It's 12 mins now and still on Chroma logo. Is there other methods that I can try (aside from restoring a backup I made)? Or shall I wait longer?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
The phone should boot in less than 5 minutes, so it's not right. Let's get to the rest of the stuff I mentioned in my previous comment.

- what version of twrp are you using ?

- did you try f2fs ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] projectnexus:
I'm using twrp 3.0.2.0 and I'm not on f2fs. I have not done much to my phone as this is my first time trying out custom rom.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Try redownloading the ROM, then download these Gapps ( https://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/gapps/Banks/banks_dynamic_gapps-6.x.x-20160902.zip ), and this SuperSU ( http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu ).

Let's make sure you did a complete wipe. While in recovery, you must go to the "Wipe" section then click on "Advanced wipe" and check everything from there, except for the internal storage. Then "Swype to wipe" to start the wiping process. After that, go back to the main section, and start installing everything one by one. First flash the ROM (the one that you redownloaded), then flash Banks Gapps (from the link I just gave you), then glash SuperSU. Wipe cache + dalvik cache again and reboot to system.

DON'T HURRY ! Do it carefully, with patience and make sure you follow all the necessary steps. If you think you can jump over a step, you're wrong, so don't do it. You need to do it the right way, if you want your phone to boot up.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] projectnexus:
Thank you so much! Managed to boot it up!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
No problem.

Always follow the instructions, closely. You miss 1 tiny step and everything goes south.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] WHOARETHROLL:
Strange. You have a new battery or old?

Maybe the battery need replacement, but only the original, rather than the Chinese Ali Express.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Makxie:
the battery sensor in the n4 is kind of quirky. With a brand new it only charged till 30 per cent, if it reached 100 it turned off at 70%. Switched to the old one and it's working so far
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ahmedvip2008:
It will be android N for this ROM or not
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Nope. Zephik said he was done with the Nexus 4. If someone else decides to continue compiling Unofficial Chroma builds, then it will see another day but it's unlikely.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] nitin.chobhe:
You quoted a very old post of mine ;)

I always use gapps from here: http://opengapps.org/

Use "arm", select android version (6.0 in this case) and select the package based on your needs. I always use pico.

I am currently running the Chroma Build Aug 2 and got the Wi-fi Assistant option available today. When I enable it Google Connectivity Services crashes.

Any ideas if Wi-Fi Assistant will work on this build?

It's not about Qualcomm kernel drivers (they are mostly patched) - it's about system library. Take your time to read the advisory... Attack vectors are multiple.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ujh:
There is something wrong with that build.

I did full wipe as I was experiencing some issues

once I connected the phone to my car stereo and/or to a device (PC) it kept disconnecting and after that the sounds were crackling. Connecting to the USB again AND having it connected in "charging" mode solved the issue of the sound.

Now, you will get that I can't use a phone ever connected to a USB nor with crackling / absent sounds.

There is something wrong with how the ROM interfaces with the USB as previous version of the same ROM didn't have any issue at all.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

It seems that disabling USB audio routing solved the issue of the crackling audio but not the USB that keeps disconnecting

Hi guys,

In a recent update, the "Cyngn Chinese dialer lookup" was removed.

I don't know exactly what it is but I am living in China so I guess it might be still useful for me.

How to put it back ? (if it's possible).

Thank you

Why Settings | Storage & USB | Advanced | Unlock USB Data is disabled. It seems I can't access the device from my PC or change the access type (MTP/PTP)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Guys, you should know that Zephik stopped the development for the Nexus 4. So any complaints or bug reports are pretty irrelevant cause he's bot gonna release any builds any more. The only problems that can be solved consist of "light" bugs that are present only for some of the users. The other major bugs that are ROM related, will not be fixed.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Loukanov:
Yes, I know. I'm just sharing (bug) experience re. the last ROM update.

Would you please check the functionality of Settings | Storage & USB | Advanced | Unlock USB Data on your device? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
I'm afraid I can't check that, as I'm running my PN on my phone. But you can see that the feature has got an "experimental" status, so you can expect it to either almost work, be buggy or not work at all. However, if you want your phone to connect as MTP and show the internal storage as soon as you connect it to your computer, you should know that you're out of luck. You always have to turn MTP on from the notification drawer whenever you connect the phone to your laptop. The ROM would need a specific patch (a semi-hack) so the phone can be recognised as MTP without having to do that yourself, but, considering that no new Chroma updates will be pushed to this device, the problem will be there forever.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sharjeel.Khan:
This rom is consistent and stable than many other roms available for our N4, Taurus kernel and latest chroma gives you excellent battery life. i wish someone could keep continuing it development as I've tried almost every rom available for N4 but found this one and DU perfect. if anyone can, please do consider to keep this rom alive.

It's not a bug but a feature.

"Your device will establish unprotected connections everytime you connect it to a PC. Secured lockscreens disable this option automatically."

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Loukanov:
Thanks to all responses re. my issue.

I'm missing USB data type via notification when I connect my phone to PC. That's why I started digging somewhere else in the mentioned adv. settings.

Later last night I figured out that I have hardware problem with my micro-USB socket on the phone. Tried three different cables, two computer, two different OS. The same result. I also have micro-USB to HDMI adapter (SlimPort) which doesn't work properly - too many cuts off, no stable signal. Was fine last time.

The Windows PC shows unknown USB device. Under Device Manager | <device> | Details | Hardware IDs it shows nothing/Unknown ID. It seems broken data pin/pins prevents to determine what I've attached to the PC. The charging works fine. But the phone always shows that I attached it to AC, not to USB.

Anyway, I can still use my phone but probably will start looking to replace it. USB socket replacement probably not worth it.

My Nexus 4 is dead after 3 years of use. It force closed while I was using the phone and that was the last time it came back. At reboot it would then be stuck at the logo. Other people have had this issue too:

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/d...ce-welcome-t2259334/post68930889#post68930889

I tried all options in the Recovery menu. Then I tried ADB to re-write the recovery just to see if I can do it:

In the Recovery menu, I was able to see files in the system partition but for all other partitions including data, I saw "failed to mount /data (invalid argument)".

I think the flash memory became corrupt permanently. Its likely a bad hardware component (nothing to do with the specific ROM being used).

Using my backup phone now and waiting for a deal on a newer phone.

I can try anything if anyone has any ideas.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] tom0769:

Hi I got the same problems. It's a well known bug, reporting by many users to Google but useless, no solid solutions. The only working solution is using radio 0.48, for JB 4.2.2. My wifi is working well now, but only if I am using 2.4 Ghz band. If u wanna use stock, try to use the JB 4.2.2 rom. I am not sure about kitkat, but on lollipop and M, the problem is there.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] pjc123:
I am in the same boat. Still running Chroma and debating on CM13 or wait for the Official CM14 (Not sure how long that will take). I really want the security updates more than anything else.

Question: I never used Titanium Backup; always just did Nandroid backups. Can I backup my Chroma apps (I guess that would be only apps + app data?), fully wipe the phone, and then would I be able to restore the apps to CM13? That would save a huge amount of time. How about doing that same thing going from Chroma to CM14; would that be a problem because I would be going from Marshmallow to Nougat?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] tom0769:
I use TB pro version.

Just backup all user apps.

Change rom (even update android versions).

Always do a nandroid backup, just in case.

Then fully wipe phone in twrp (format all exept media card).

After flashing new rom I restore all my apps with it's data.

Takes me about 40 minutes till I'm back to what I was used to before.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] pjc123:
[MENTION=3327184]tom0769[/MENTION]. That's great news. I only have the free version of TB. I believe I read a long time ago it forces you to manually do each app or something. If this becomes a more common thing I will get the paid version.
