[Nexus 4 Android Development] Spike`:
it seems that a new vulnerability has been found and already patched by Google, more info on https://securityintelligence.com/one-class-to-rule-them-all-new-android-serialization-vulnerability-gives-underprivileged-apps-super-status/#.VcnczvQw-Ul

taken from the article
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Well not really new but in the newest build the animations aren't as fast so it appears more fluid than speed orientated.

Nice article you found there, I'll have a look.

Possibly.

I have a question. I tried using chroma without the gapps. Then the home button works only in the recents screen. And some apps like chrome crashed. But the battery back up is amazing. Without the Google services the phone is deep sleeping nicely. It's like I can feel it snoring.?.

But seriously, y did the home button misbehave?? Any idea

BTW. Amazing rom. Hats off brother.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] maverix13:
Use another launcher till he figures it out.

Best kernel for this rom? :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arffrhn:
Ah..if only you would just go back few pages or use the search button. But anyway, here are some of the favourites;

Franco

Hellscore

Quanta
[Nexus 4 Android Development] soul1:
Thank u and sorry for the post.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dcop7:
A "best" kernel doesn't exists. Why? Because every kernel has is advantages and disavantages. You have to find what suits you best with your usage. Some prefer performance, others battery, others like to tweak everything, others like to flash and "forget"...

If you check Chroma FAQ (link is also in the second post of this thread), there is a question "What is the best kernel for chroma?"

Answer:

In the page, there is also a recommendation:

I'm using franco right now and I'm very happy with it, but there are other great kernels, like hellscore, sempahore, mirage, quanta... I personally like franco, hellscore and semaphore.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] doragasu:
I need help, I cannot complete installation :(

I have installed latest TWRP, then flashed the latest ROM and minimal gapps. When I reboot to system, the welcome wizard starts, and when I complete the wizard, I continually get FC on Launcher3, and I can do nothing.

I come from stock latest Android 5.1.1. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions?

EDIT: I could access settings, but I cannot access Google Play to install other launcher, and it looks like only Launcher3 is installed by default? Is there a way I can install and enable other launcher?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jtwebfusion:
I use TK nano gapps. What version of twrp are you using?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Igrikys:
also I got an error after installation launcher 3
[Nexus 4 Android Development] insigma28:
Yeah same problem but one member said use another launcher till the problem is fixed.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] doragasu:
I used TK pico apps: tk_gapps-modular-pico-5.1.1-20150809-signed.zip

And latest TWRP version: twrp-2.8.7.0-mako.img

I verified md5 sums of both Chroma ROM and gapps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kevinnol:
So to anyone who can't use the rom because of the launcher fc

Either download your favorite launcher as apk(eg. apkmirror)and a) push it via adb or b)move it via twrp

--or

download tk's MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE or higher... you can even exclude the stuff you dont want (eg. everything except launcher +services)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] doragasu:
I'm downloading micro-modular package right now to test it. About the other alternative, once I flash it (e.g. via TWRP), how can I set it as a the default launcher?

EDIT: It worked intalling micro-modular package!!!

Thanks!!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bdasmith:
OK.....so I've installed current version with current tk gapps nano. No FC's!

This ROM is great! Also installed newest mirage any kernel version and I am flying.

Also with nova launcher the volume panel to card background is perfect on 280 dpi
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ChainFires Son:
Is the ability to change lockscreen wallpaper still included in the latest build?

*Edit read the changelog. Sorry for the inconvenience.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mohit2387:
why at times, it just gets restarted on its own and it just hangs when any call comes.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mohit2387:
I would have been very happy if you would have asked for the relevant things... I accept I am noob, and I have installed this custom rom first time ever on my phone..

I gave feedback as a layman. If you could consider it as "GTFO" - then I dont mind it.

anyways thanks wont expect more here.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] ok I'm definitely blind. I didn't see the new build when I replied to the new animations. I found some time this morning to install the new build. Everything runs smooth as a baby's butt.

As for the new animations, they're indeed smooth but @ 0.75 they're pretty slow. I thought the animations' speed had gone from 0.75 to ~0.9 but then I checked it out.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
We would have been very happy if you would have bothered to learn about what you were doing before you did it in case you had any problems. No one else has reported anything of the sort. No one is going to hold your hand.

Guess what I did before flashing my first ROM? I read the first post (commonly referred to as the OP), read way too many pages of the thread, then re-read the first post again just to be sure. When I had odd issues, I checked to see if anyone else had reported the same issue. After tiring myself out Googling and not quite finding the answer I needed, then I would post about the issue providing a logcat.

You must understand that without a logcat the developer can do nothing to help you.

At this point I suggest following the simple instructions in the OP for first-time installation and start over. Make sure you're using the latest version of TWRP for best results.

You have the largest database of information ever created at your fingertips. Poke it a bit and answers will fall out. ? If you still have questions, that's fine.

---------- Post added at 01:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

The default animation speed is 1.0. Setting it to 0.75 makes them render faster. If they seem slow to you, something else is causing the lag.

I wholeheartedly agree with the "smooth as a baby's bottom" sentiment.?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
The default animation speed on Chroma is 0.75. Previous animations were snappy and fast. The new ones are smooth but not as snappy(at 0.75(which is the default for the ROM)) as the old ones. It's not a debate btw. It might be that my eyes were used to the old ones, but I do prefer the newer ones.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mohit2387:
Thank you for such an inspirational speech. To give you a brief, I have always googled thats the reason my search boiled down to this rom and few things I wanted to clarify :

A. I did read the entire post of the OP else I would never be able to install the ROM or Gapps correctly in one go itself.

B. I not only google but also read almost half of the posts at the google plus page too, but you must understand every individual is different, may be you were a fast learner and you had many options to explore or probably I was more dumb than you. But I am still happy the way I learned things.

C. I know without a LOGCAT, a developer will never be able to help. ( but you could have simply asked me rather than posting posters of insulting the one who was seeking help ).

D. I do have the latest TWRP and did the installation correctly, I will google and will get my problem fixed and even after that my problems doesnt get fixed, then promise you.. wont come back here to seek your help at least would rather choose to change the ROM.

At last, things could have been handled in a much better way, but it seems when somebody who has extra knowledge will always kill the one who has no or little knowledge.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arffrhn:
Well, you should have at least stated what you have done after flashing the rom. Like what have you installed, any mods? List out the steps you've taken to flash the rom. What kernel are you running? Did you tweak the kernel? All that sort of things that can help to your problems. All of us can help but if you just come and ask the way you asked, how would people even know what has gone wrong with your device. Do provide some info about it, then ask. You can also ask in the Q&A section too. I understand that you are new to this but this is the right way to ask anything. I think this rule applies anywhere even in a workplace. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mohit2387:
Thank you so much for the polite reply..

I flashed the rom exactly the way OP mentioned, prior to this I was on stock rom with unlocked bootloader.

Unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with the help of wugfresh toolkit.

Installed the latest TWRP, using the same TWRP - I did a factory reset then flashed the ROM first and then the TK gapps.

Did a reboot successfully.

Installed apps majorly include : Wakelock detector, greenify, busybox, supersu, call recorder, ad away, textra and other normal apps like whatsapp or any other shopping website like Amazon.

It did work perfectly but somehow, I noticed it gets restarted on its own, and when I go and check the battery bar, it shows that phone was off but my wifi was on, thats the reason I thought to ask if anyone had a similar issue in the past.

Edit( I think you should deliberately create a problem or two so people can try other ROMs as I am not moving From chroma stuck with it) ?

Dude open settings from lockscreen and set your Home to whatever launcher you using. cmon its not that big issue. Launcher 3 might be getting that FC. really Idk so I got a workaround for that Soft reboot
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
I meant default as in stock Android settings.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] doragasu:
Does anybody know why on this ROM (and also on stock ROM) Titanium Backup isn't able to convert apps into system apps? When I try it, it stays forever trying to convert the application. I have used this option without a problem on other devices with ROMs like Cyanogenmod 10.1.

Is there anything I can do to make it work?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dcop7:
Like CM10.1? That is old... What version are you using of titanium backup?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] doragasu:
Latest Titanium Backup Pro version (7.2.1.2), bought on Google Play.

Could this be an S-ON/S-OFF issue?

Edit: I forgot to mention, the first time I launch Titanium Backup, the following message is displayed (in Spanish, I'm translating it to English, sorry if there is a mistake):

Could this also be related to the problem?

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

I have been playing a bit more, and it looks like the option is working, but Titanium is not aware the app has been already converted to system app, so it continues showing the progress dialog forever. Also the app is not shown until the device is rebooted. It would be nice to make it work properly, dunno why it fails.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dcop7:
It seems to be a problem with the app itself... :S

hells-Core does, at least.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
All of them give led control. It's just some recommendations. I'm pretty sure that all kernels have this, but the one I ship the rom with doesn't.

I'm too lazy to change the kernel, so that was my workaround.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] dcop7:
You just have to google how to do that... But here are some interesting links :)

[Reference] How to get useful logs

---------- Post added at 09:13 ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 ----------

For me, I think you should keep the stock kernel. Many kernels out here uses anykernel, which needs stock kernel. If you change the kernel to franco for an example, flashing hellscore (that uses anykernel), cloud results in some bugs. I prefer how it is today, I can change the kernel without any problems, without having to worry about changes in the ramdisk.

Right now I'm using franco's, but I like hellscore very much too :)

[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERY USER OF CHROMA TO UPDATE TO THIS BUILD TO NOT BE VULNERABLE TO THIS ATTACK.

It should be noted that the previous patches by Google (LMY48I) builds do not fix the Stagefright vulnerability - you can read more at:

http://arstechnica.com/security/201...he-ropes-with-one-two-punch-from-researchers/

http://www.itworld.com/article/2971...ight-hack-googles-patch-wont-protect-you.html

https://blog.exodusintel.com/2015/08/13/stagefright-mission-accomplished/

The Zimperium application has been updated to detect a new "loophole" to attack - you may check, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector

08/14/2015 addresses this problem and is no longer vulnerable to the recent discovery. As other OEMs and companies are starting to do monthly updates to address Android related security problems. You'd have to normally wait for the OTAs to arrive.

I've added onto the core philosophy of Chroma of keeping my ROM users secured from any vulnerability attacks. So I'll be adding security patches to prevent any Android related vulnerabilities from being exploited and will be pushing updates for these patches as soon as possible.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Spiralzz:
Thanks for the update! Also, I'm curious as to how you guys (ROM maintainers, etc) update. I'm assuming Google patches and updates AOSP code, and you do a "repo sync" or a cherrypick for the patch? I've learned how to compile the source code for Mako (some things like AOSP browser are messed up in it), and was curious how I'd have to patch the security vulnerabilities.

First of all great work. Best ROM ever.

Just had my first SOD with chroma. I have been using chroma for 4-6 months without any issues, never had an SOD. The uptimes were always in the order of 10 days, it was rock solid.

Updated to 0813 yesterday and then 0814 today. 4h later SOD (black screen when unlocking phone but phone still on, I could still feel vibrations when touching screen). No logs unfortunately, as I said before things were so stable that I did not bother reinstalling any of those apps.

Running chroma + tk gapps + quanta.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Damn I've been clean flashing non stop these 3 days. :p 10/13/14 builds.

[MENTION=5303497]axsdenied1[/MENTION] I never had a single problem with stock kernel. I had ran Quanta/AK/Mirage kernels in the past, but I found the phone stuttering sometimes and/or slow responsiveness/freezing. That's when I said screw everything and went back to stock kernel. I'm using Kernel Adiutor to change the governor, scheduler, entropy and other stuff in stock kernel. It beats everything for me. The only thing I cannot change is the colours(which I don't care) and sound. But they're not a deal breaker since I'm sure I won't face any problems with the stock kernel and it's solid as a rock.

Also LED colours work for me. I get custom LED colours for Gmail and Hangouts, so I don't know what's the deal with the other kernels that [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] suggested to flash.

Edit

: I feel the urge to show my homescreen. :p

I've been travelling a lot lately. Rigorously tested Chroma on national roaming. Going to install Aug14 build in a few hours. Was on Aug10 build.

In a jiffy: chroma is snappy. Had a few consistent hiccups with trying to establish data connection (even while not roaming) and unexplained shutdowns twice. Probably due to network issues. Phone was idle and was sleeping then.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Sod problems are kernel related, not rom related.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xenyz:
It's a tricky problem, but SoDs on mako are likely userspace related, and I believe have to do with Google Play Services. You can tell the kernel is still running if you have an ongoing LED notification during the SoD.

That said, what the poster you replied to described is not the 'real' SoD on mako, as the backlight switched on, vibrations on touch, etc

Thanks for adding the expanded desktop! Appreciate this so much !!!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kevinnol:
Looks like the newest stagefright patch has some 'problems' with others apps, I clean flashed 08/14 Build and noticed a few force closes here and there

- pressing install on No.5 - Layers Theme force closes, it copies the zip fine though

- opening Semaphore Manager the first time force closed too, works fine afterwards

Also CloudPlayer™ caches music so when I have no signal or something I can play the cached music but after the update thats not possible anymore.

No logs, just reporting. Yeah I know .. sorry

I am currently running an older version of chroma with hells core kernel, i am thinking of dirty flashing the latest version, i wanted to know do i need to reflash hellscore kernel every time i update chroma?

Which kernel would i have if i dont flash hells core again?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
Yes, you need to reflash hellscore (or preferred kernel) every time you update your rom. Simply flash it straight after your rom zip. If you don't flash a custom kernel you'll obviously have the stock kernel.

Anyone else have problems with init.d scripts on latest build?

i use Chroma with hells B81 since weeks, with an init.d script to disable DT2Wake if locked with Power Button. With the latest relase of chroma it dosen´t apply the command, it still works if i apply it with terminal emulator. I always use the same script (backup of the old file) and the same Kernel settings.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
I've had this problem for a while on chroma, as well as a few other ROMs I've tried. I do the same, apply it with terminal emulator and after a reboot init.d runs on boot as normal. Never found out why this happens.
