Hi guys, this rom is really smooth thanks for your work sykopompos !!

I realized that there is a little lag or something while calling somebody as soon as the screen fill with blue. Anyone facing this issue? It is not a big, but just would be clear.

Thanks,

Hey guy while Running yesterday i noticed that the GPS is worse than my last configuration ( simple asap android 5.0 + Nash kernel ).i got many GPS drops during the run and the location accuracy in general is worse. I'm running the latest chroma with HD kernel. Is GPS in general kernel or rom related? Did anyone else notice GPS related problems?

Greetings from Germany and thanks to the developers for their dedication to our lovely Nexus 4

getting bootloops

hi,

i'm trying this rom. using twrp, factory reset, install zip. then install gapps and SU. all successful but get neverending loading screen. so i tried again, dirty flash. all good, loads until 'Starting Apps' then it stuck there forever. anything i missed?

thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mdaamir1989:
I've been experimenting quite a few Rom's lately , some give me more battery but come at the cost of some other problems (random reboots) , but some are snappier but have lesser battery life.

Would love to try this ROM since i saw a few posts which indicate that the test build has been worked towards fixing random reboots .

Downloading "chroma_mako-ota-2015-04-09-update.zip" right away. Hope this ROM provides the best battery combination with the issue of random reboots solved :)

[MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] - Could you please let us what are the changes that have been done towards fixing random reboots ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Aaron_Knowles:
For those of you who suck at searching like myself, here's the link to latest build:

Going to flash now, watch there be a new build in a couple hours!

just happened to me, in my case i went to the recovery to update super su, did a pure art wipe and will waiting to see if it was the elf files

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

yep, fixed it!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hmillos:
I think you have to wipe dalvik after flashing, you could try that, maybe that solves the issue.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chealsearock:
Keep getting stuck on Google logo following flash of the latest version, despite trying again with factory reset.

EDIT: tried ADB flash zip via NRT, no help. It reboots the device and it's still stuck on the Google logo.

What have I done.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HdSht:
Guys I have 2 doubts (not strictly related to this rom):

1) Does google keyboard have something more than aosp one ? (can't find anything on web since when i look for aosp I find only CM keyboard)

2) Do we have to update busybox since newer version is out or I don' t miss anything ?:confused:

Ty in advance.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] supersomething:
what is pure art wipe? can you give detailed steps?

Emoji Switcher, in the Play Store (or f-droid, I forget).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
No, download the latest version from apkmirror, or man up and clean install once in a while.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CatsAreGods:
I doubt that, because AFAIK it only changes parameters. OTOH, I couldn't even get Quanta to load. You might try Hellscore kernel though.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
I am currently on Quanta. I was on Taurus before that. And stock Chroma before that.

Now I'm trying to go back to stock Chroma kernel by dirty flashing Chroma. It's not working, and I'm not sure why. I'd rather not clean flash, as I don't have the time right nowto spend reconfiguring everything to the way I like.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Loukanov:
Almost same here. I was with Quanta, dirty flashed + Quanta again (as 2nd flashable zip)-> unable to boot. Not passing via Google logo. Flashed again (dirty) only the ROM, wiped cache & davlik -> worked. BTW, I'm with TWRP 3.0.0-0.

Update: Just saw there is new version of Quanta (V11) - https://basketbuild.com/devs/zaclimon/mako/Quanta/AOSP
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Quolli:
Just FYI, Emoji Switcher doesn't have the new 6.0.1 emoji.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] reikar:
Same here with a 02/16/2016 build
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
Hmm... that's interesting. I'm dirty flashing just the ROM, wiping cache & dalvik, and it's not working. I haven't tried flashing Rom + Quanta this time.

Maybe I'll try updating TWRP. I'm on twrp-2.8.7.0-f2fs_otg_multi. I used it when I formatted cache and data to f2fs, and then stayed with it. It's been working so far, so I don't think that's the problem, but worth a shot I guess.

I managed to install the latest version of google camera before installing the version from playstore and then over this

It does not work with 100% the videocamera does not work

The cLock widget is working better. It was always crashing in settings and displaying the default time and date alone. Now it only crashes when I try to select the calendar, but it shows the weather. Progress!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Xavi.:
I flashed this rom couple of days ago, coming from Lollipop stock. It works so nicely! I just face an issue with an app, and I was wondering if I was the only one.

I use the Touchdown application to manage my email and calendar for my work. Since I installed Chroma, I am unable to read the emails. I see the sender, the subject, a preview of the message from the mail folder, but when I select a message to read it, all the body appears blank. I tried deleting app cache, reinstalling, and still the same.

Although I am unsure this has to do anything with the ROM, I ask just in case.

Thank you
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Pac-Man:
I think it's a problem of the app. I see the changelog and the dev hasn't updated for more than a year...

---------- Post added at 11:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

So... I dropped Lollipop to try Marshmallow (Chroma, of course). After the first boot, it got 15% of the battery installing apps (and restoring the backup), configuration, etc. Do you have any problem with this rom? :)

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION], it's amazing Chroma is so fast! But I have a question. Is the kernel settings changed to run with overclock?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
If you want more features from a kernel that comes with the ROM, which usually gives you a stock experience, you must install a custom kernel. I suggest "Quanta v11". It's just been updated and it works great. It has CPU OC, undervolting, gamma control, etc. Try it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] truevision:
Any advice for which custom kernel works good for this rom, maybe to save battery life ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
"Quanta v11". Its just been updated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
Try allowing permissions to the app in Settings > Apps > Touchdown > Permissions

Allow everything and it should work now.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arvindgr:
Sorry to convey this,but I hope this info will help Chroma's development. I used Euphoria 5.1 and moved to Chroma last Nov-15. Really really stable ROM with good features, but with POOR MEMORY MANAGEMENT!! Initially Chroma felt so smooth, but after a month it was so laggy that even one foreground makes phone irresponsible lot of time!. Maps app will hang a lot. Hence I switched to another ROM yet reinstalled Chroma this Feb-16 (latest one). This time too after 10+ days, ROM is so laggy now. Settings-Development tools-Restrict bg apps, doesnt help. Now, I many time I can't pick up call, as when ringing phone turns irresponsive! But when all recent apps are closed, suddenly phone recovers for sometime. Is there somewhr I'm going or doing wrong? Help me guys...

P.S: I say this coz Chroma keeps Firefox browser with many tabs in memory even if phones lags a lot due to insufficient RAM. Manually clearing it helps, but when I was in other ROMs, firefox will get cleared and will have tabs reloading when open firefox from recent apps..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mohit12:
Is the wifi drain bug present in all ROMs or is it chrome specific? (I haven't tried any other MM ROMs). Also, is there any way to fix it without switching off wifi scanning?

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:30 PM ----------

Is this ROM CM based or AOSP based? I'm wondering which version of quanta to download
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 185driver:
I've been on Chroma for 2-3 months now. What you're observing simply isn't my experience. It consistently performs well for me. I hope you find the root cause.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
It's AOSP based.

Problem with syncing contacts

This seems like a great ROM, exactly what I was looking for in terms of functions I really use. So thanks for that.

I have a slight problem with the Contacts app, though. I clean-flashed the ROM and GApps from the OP through TWRP 3.0.0-0, but I just can't seem to get my contacts synced. When I open the Contacts app, I have the options to "Create a new contact", "Sign in to an account" (I'm already signed in my main Google account where my contacts are, so of course I only can add a different account) and "Import Contacts". Under Settings --> Accounts --> Google the Contacts entry doesn't even show up, so I guess there's some kind of problem with the integration of the Contacts app in the sync system. Deletion of the app's cache and data doesn't do the trick either. Anyone with the same problem? Did a thread search already, but haven't found anything specfifc with a solution. Help would be much appreciated, thanks!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Go to Settings - > Apps - > Contacts, then tap on "Permissions" and check everything in there except for "Location".
[Nexus 4 Android Development] the.fall:
Thanks for your fast answer, unfortunately it doesn't work. I even removed my main account and added it again through the contacts app, still no sync.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
1. What Gapps did by you flash ?

2. Go the same spot I mentioned earlier but this time, tap on Force Close, the on "Storage", tap on wipe cache and data, go back a step, make sure you have all the permissions given again, and after that reboot the device.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] the.fall:
1. Flashed the Gapps from the OP link, it was BaNkS_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_2-8-16_12:50.zip

2. Thank you very much, that worked! Under Accounts --> Google the entry Contacts is shown now (along with App Data, Google Fit Data and People details which were not availabe to sync before either) and in the app the synced contacts are present.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] realjumy:
Hi guys.

Nice ROM.

Before submitting a bug, I would like to ask you if you have the same problem than me. I searched in the threat but I didn't find anything related.

I have problems with the WiFi, but it's not related with WiFi drain. The problem is that the WiFi connection seems to be very unstable and disconnect frequently. Anyone has the same problem?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Nope.

I'm fairly sure that's not ROM related, but motte of a problem with your WiFi. Try resetting the router and then remove the WiFi network from your phone and add it again.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arjundas86:
Had the same sync issue with another app, and this worked. Thanks...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Xavi.:
Thank you KcLKcL. Tried but does not work. I tested Nine, which is another Exchange server mail app, and works perfect, so it has to do with the Touchdown app and Chroma (spotted another user facing the same problem with Chroma in Nexus 6P). Already contacted Symantec for support :good:

So far I've been around a week with the ROM and it is giving my Nexus 4 a new life! I just have a question about Phone and Contacts app, I see they are not linked with the Google Play Store, as I have the option to download the 2 apps from there, not an update. I used the Gapps from Banks. from OP. Is it intended to work like that, or I missed anything with the flash?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] spa856:
Perfect.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arvindgr:
Thanks for telling that you have no trouble. But in G+ https://plus.google.com/116104556945230072963/posts/6jpeqje85A3 people say they have my same problem. I dont use Xposed and have even clean flashed chroma but after I restore apps with TiB, things work rock stable for more than a month, but whole lag story with excessive battery drain starts then!..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] realjumy:
I already tried, and it happens in all the networks. I'll have to wipe and flash again and see if that solves it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sacob:
hi!

I have a problem with my contact list.

when i try to add a new contact my phone prompts me to add a online account to backup my contacts or keep the changes locally. but when i try to add my google account (again) it says it's duplicated.

anyone experienced this?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Try backing up the important files fthe internal storage and do a "data wipe", the one where you have to type " yes" to confirm the start of the wiping process. Than flash the ROM, gapps, etc. If that doesn't solve your problem, you might wanna flash the latest stock 5.1.1 ROM via fastboot.

Miracast problem

Good afternoon! I really like this ROM! You rock!

But I was a little disappointed that doesn't work now miracast:(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] klickig:
miss the navigation ring and disabling heads up notifications :(
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Quolli:
Does anyone know how to activate Ambient Display? The descriptor says it activates when the phone is picked up/moved but either the detection is terrible or Zephi needed to change how it worked on the N4 due to the lack of motion detection chip. I know it used to use the proximity sensor but it seems to have changed.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
The option should be in the "Display" section in the settings.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Quolli:
I think you misinterpreted my query. I've got Active Display turned on but I don't know how to get it to show up, it seems quite sporadic and inconsistent in how it activates itself.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
I see. Well, it can't work properly without those motion sensors found in the newer devices. At the moment, the way it work is turn the screen on and give youna peek at the notification when you receive one.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Quolli:
That's what I was thinking. Currently though I notice that if I've picked it up the phone after using it recently the Ambient Display turns on again. Putting it on a table has it pulse AD a couple of times without me touching it. Hopefully someone else can chime in on how to activate AD reliably because it's a nice feature but trying too activate it is doing my head in!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] realjumy:
Cheers man.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Razorfoot:
Hey [MENTION=5796730]dragos281993[/MENTION], can i give you a suggestion?

I like the quick pulldown feature, but i get really frustrated that we only can quick pulldown by left or right sides, because sometimes i forget about it when going for a quick notifications check and have to swipe it back up.

I use it in the right hand and cant reach the quick pulldown to the left with my thumb, so the best area would be the center.

You think this is possible/viable to add the center edge option into the quick pulldown feature?

Its just a minor suggestion, the ROM is awesome. :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
I'm believe you should ask zephiK that, Chroma's developer. I'm a user just like you. Give him a PM with this suggestion and maybe he'll consider it. But he already mentioned a while back ago that he'll keep Chroma the way it is right now, clean and stable.

I also was frustrated with pulling down the notification panel to only check the notifications and had to pull it back in order to see the actual notifications, so I disabled "quick pulldown". Now it's just like in the stock ROMs. And if I want to use an option from the quick settings, I just pull it down twice, so it's not a problem for me.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Razorfoot:
These small interface crackles disturbs me lol

I will give it a try and pm him ;D

Thanks man :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Feahnor:
I do. I'm constantly having to reconnect my WiFi connection.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Loukanov:
Using Chroma on N4 for couple of months and I've noticed the following things in contrast to other ROMs (CM and Euphoria) I used before:

- WiFi battery drain with some networks. At home it's OK, but at work it's dropping and maybe switching between mobile data and WiFi is what eats my battery.

- Staying at 2G with data enabled at work uses less battery than on WiFi. Never have observed that before at the same network.

- Some times when turning off and back on WiFi, especially toggling airplane mode, the WiFi is able to see 5 GHz networks even I explicitly set it to 2.4 MHz only ones. Turning off, then back on WiFi seems to fix it temporary.

- With the kernel shipped with Chroma the battery charging process is significantly slower using the same (original) charger and cable. Suspect because the phone "thinks" it's charging via USB, not via AC adapter. This changes if flash a kernel with "fast charge" support set to on - e.g. Quanta.

Anybody with similar experience?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] realjumy:
Good to hear that I'm not the only one... Is the first time I experience a behaviour like that in my phone...

​
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
Yes. I have the very same issue and with Quanta, it charges faster if 'fast USB charge' is enabled.

With Chroma kernel, battery stats indicates that it is charging via USB even if it is connected to AC.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jullebarge:
I have the same issue too, after a fresh install from stock.

May be it's because I tried to restore wifi settings with Titanium Backup, or because I have a wifi repeater at home.

I'm trying to wipe again and resintall to see if it fixes the issue
[Nexus 4 Android Development] nevezen:
Just flashed Chroma on my Nexus 4 and looks real smooth.

Except I can't add a Google account, at all. Tapping the Add Account does nothing.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Did you flash any Gapps ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ju1da:
No, I think it's a rom bug. I flashed this version of chroma rom several times, the same issue appeared, wifi connection problem.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
I don't think that it is a ROM problem. If so, all of us using this ROM should have experienced it. I have not and the majority using it also have not experienced it.

Sensors (Rotatation, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Gravity) do not work

All the sensors work when using the Factory Image OCCAM 4.2.2 and none of the sensors work with the higher versions,

4.3 (JWR66Y)

4.4 (KRT16S)

4.4.2 (KOT49H)

4.4.3 (KTU84L)

4.4.4 (KTU84P)

5.0 (LRX21T)

5.0.1 (LRX22C)

5.1.0 (LMY47O)

5.1.1 (LMY48T)

including Chroma.

I have a rooted phone.

I installed 4.2.2 and locked the phone and the sensors worked, I incrementally updated with 4.3 to 5.1.1 and on the first update to 4.3 the sensors stopped working and did not come back with the other updates. When I reverted back to 4.2.2, the sensors worked again.

I have installed Chroma, wiping cache, dalvick cache, system and data and installing to a rooted phone and still, the sensors do not work.

From 4.3 upwards these sensors work:

Light

Sound

Proximity

Pressure

Magnetic

...and these sensors do not:

Orientation: Qualcomm v1

Accelerometer: LGE Accelerometer Sensor v1

Gyroscope: LGE Gyroscope Sensor v1

Have you got any suggestions as to how I can fix the sensor issue?

Many thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ju1da:
How do u know the majority have not? Our problem is with the latest version! You're lucky if you haven't.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
I know that the majority don't have anything like your issue because if they have, this thread would have been swamped by now with complaints. As it is, only two or three people are complaining.

By the way, I am also using the latest 16/02 version.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Spiralzz:
Titanium Backup doesn't seem to work for me. It's trying to access [External storage]/TitaniumBackup for some reason. Changing the backup location to sdcard/TitaniumBackup force closes the app.

Can anyone confirm this issue? I don't know if it's the ROM (latest build, stock kernel) or the app misbehaving. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ju1da:
I had it 2 weeks before complaining. Don't really care because I don't use WiFi so much ?.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Nicknoxx:
I also have WiFi connection problems but I have a bigger problem. Pressing settings/sound & notifications always causes settings to crash. On latest version. Anyone else have this?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ju1da:
Nope, only WiFi. I guess WiFi option to keep connected when there's no internet connection (assumed by the phone) is missing in this build, and it would change to mobile connection soon then. In older build I found this option (pop up). However I am not really sure the real thing cause it. Hopefully, someone can give us the clue.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fireillusion:
The developer uploaded a newer version on the same day that solved this problem.

So I guess installing the latest version would solve your problem. ☺

Franco kernel

Is it possible to use the Franco kernel in last version?

Does it make sense?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Nemanjacvi:
Chorma is starting...

I have flashed chroma latest version, and also google apps, and it wont turn on, everything went good and it just write, "Chroma is starting.... Starting apps". I have same problem with the previous version of chroma, i lost network connection, and when i reboot the system, it takes awhile to turn it on. Can somebody help me? Any advice?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dragos281993:
Did you use twrp? For a successful flashing process, twrp at least 2.8.7.0 is required.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

Franco stopped supporting our N4 a long time ago. So you can't flash it. Actually you could, but the phone won't boot up.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 320flyboy320:
In addition to doing a standard wipe, did you also wipe the "system"? I was having problems and had to also wipe the system partition for Chroma to install correctly.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Nemanjacvi:
Yes i wiped system too. I have wiped all the partitions except the internal storage. I don't know the karner version which is installed on my device, should i update it too? And how to update it, just to flesh it just like rom?
