From what I gather, config_webViewPackageName points to com.android.webview & will not use com.google.android.webview. Therefore, wouldn't freezing com.android.webview cause apps that rely on webview to not work?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
I've froze webview for awhile and used the one on the play store. I use reddit sync on a daily basis which relies on webview and I have had no problems.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
From what I have seen in the WebView community is that freezing/disabling the app doesn't work. Android will still be able to use it. On top of that, the Play Store WebView won't work(Android won't use it). That is because of that: https://plus.google.com/105158284914081414108/posts/1MSfYWmtj7Z

The only way to use the Play Store version.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gharrrrrr:
I successfully froze the app with TI and then installed play store version. No issues.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] luishr:
But are you sure that it is using the play store version? I also froze on my and installed from play store, but I don't know how to confirm with version the system is using.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gharrrrrr:
Well let's see. App is frozen through TiB. So there is no possible way it can run. So yes, I am sure.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] luishr:
Yeah, that is what I thought too, but I just had doubts after reading what is wrote on the link provided on the other post. The one that started this conversation.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
That's not how it works in this case. It was written that AOSP ROMs cannot use the Play Store version. Even if you freeze/disable it, as I said before, the system will still be able to run it. Freezing and installing the Play Store version doesn't prove anything actually. You have to see a log or something so you can be sure. The only way to make it work is to use the method in the link I provided.

Edit: just a quick example. I have disabled System WebView and Facebook can open links inside(which means it uses the WebView, unless it has its own inside or anything. Anyway, you get my point :p )
[Nexus 4 Android Development] emanoj.i9103:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION], Thanks a lot for your exceptional ROM. Most awesome thing I've flashed in my N4/N7.

Regarding Webview, Except for an Xposed module, I haven't seen other way of enabling it. And xposed for 5.1 isn't even there in alpha.

Somehow even after freezing webview, installing latest Google version, the browser test from webview shows Chrome 39 which is the native one. Not a big deal breaker yet unless there's a big security flaw that internet is restless about.

[MENTION=1225126]fr3quency[/MENTION], Did your method of recompiled framework-res.apk work, the G+ post says it bootlooped, just wondering.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
I had to install the Play Store WebView before applying my recompiled framework-res.apk, which I didn't. :p When I tried again(installed Play Store version), it worked. I might try again as well, just to be sure 100%.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] roddem:
I did download the latest version only. Still having the same problem
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
No way it's a problem with the ROM or Firefox. You said it also affects Chrome & Ingress. I have all three apps installed & can't reproduce it. No one else has reported the issue. Also notice the dev hasn't bothered looking at your logs. I suggest a clean flash & not allowing Google to restore any of your apps. Install at least Firefox & other affected apps then go from there.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Ok so I created a modified framework-res.apk(from the latest version as of this post, which is actually 12/05/2015) with only this change in \framework-res\res\values\strings.xml:

FROM

<string name="config_webViewPackageName">com.android.webview</string>

TO

<string name="config_webViewPackageName">com.google.android.webview</string>

To install it, follow those steps:

Download FIRST the Play Store WebView version

Make a Backup(no, seriously)

Download this: https://www.sendspace.com/file/q4zjqp

Move the NEW framework to your /system (permissions thing etc. Just to be sure)

Now move it to /system/framework/ and overwrite the OLD .apk

Set the permissions to 644 (rw-r-r)

Protip: You will then start getting force close windows etc.

Restart

It will optimize your apps from the beginning

Voila

You can also do it from your recovery(I have tried this in TWRP. Go FIRST into the Mount Category and mount system) if you don't want to use a File Manager such as Root Explorer(the one I used; cannot live without it):

adb shell
cd system/framework
rm framework-res.apk
----> Now type "exit" to exit adb shell
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework
adb shell chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb reboot

Don't blame me if things don't work out. I warned you to make a backup. :p It works for me btw.

Edit

: I just deleted /system/app/webview and /system/lib/libwebviewchromium.so and Facebook can still load pages inside the app. I guess we win? :p

Edit 2

: Though Pushbulltet doesn't work. :C Maybe we don't need to touch those files, but we have to be sure which package is used.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
There are multiple people now reporting this and there are logs. Why not tell people what the problem is. Yet another vlean flash didnt help btw..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Dangit! You found out. There's was a conspiracy against Firefox users. What?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
Huh? Whats your problem? I just want to understand the root of the problem, no need to make fun of me. I'm no native speaker as well so keep that in mind..

Additionally, knowing if this is a Rom bug or not opens the possibily to file a bug against Firefox.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
I didn't realize there was a language barrier, sorry for the miscommunication (it was sarcasm / in a joking manner). . Regardless, my main point was to encourage you to explore elsewhere. Keep in mind that zephik is only maintaining this ROM in absence of sykopompos. Zephik does not have an N4 to test on, only a N6. He hasn't been able to reproduce your issue as he's already stated, so you're pretty much on your own. Most weird issues are due to dirty flashing (I know you said you clean flashed) and/or conflicts with other mods / apps. I'd lean toward the latter in your case. You could try this, I suppose if you think it's webview related. Otherwise, I suggest installing the factory Google image or another ROM to help narrow down the issue.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
I just meant that it might be possible that I say different things of what I wanted to say and don't realise it ;) I'll file a firefox bug now to see what the devs say.

Fastcharging

Hello,

how can I enable fast charging feature? When I connect my phone to one of my chargers, it says that is connected to USB and charging is very slow - 200mA, while charging via some other (HTC) charger it charges with 800mA. I tried stock kernel, semaphore and franco, but there is no option to change force fastcharge. (I used "kernel auditor" app).

And for those who tried different kernels: Which kernel is the best one for this rom (in terms of battery life and functionality)?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Quanta Kernel (based on franco.Kernel) supports it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] small2cats482:
Hello, first off I wanted to thank the devs for this awesome rom. I had a feature request. Can you please include the day/night backlight feature from CM? I mainly use the phone at night and warmer screen color makes it easier on the eyes. I know there are apps which do the same, like lux, but they are not free. I'd be really grateful if you consider adding that feature.

Many thanks to the devs once again. Keep up the good work!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
Try twilight
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
No, live display is a huge commitment in code and heavily relies on cm code. It's too much for a lightweight rom.

And lux is quite cheap, support your developers and show them some appreciation. We need money to pay for our bills too, considering how much time is spent into their applications. And I'm not just saying myself but to all apps in general. Open source and free is awesome but at the end of the day they have to pay bills and whatnot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yaymalaga:
Is anyone using f2fs with chroma right now? Just to see if you recommend me the change.

I want to give it a try. I'm using multirom's recovery (has support for f2fs) and quanta kernel (also has support). Do I need to change something in the rom? And about converting partitions should I only convery /data and /cache or something more? (I will reinstall all from 0 so I will clean all my data anyway)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kishke:
I used f2fs until not long ago, but when i moved to 5.1 and chroma i dropped it, there is just not enough support for it.

The rom itself doesn't matter, your system should be ext4, because it's read only mostly it runs better. F2Fs should be for your data, and you just need a kernel which supports it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
From what i heard f2fs offers no real advantages and is not worth the effort on the n4. I might be wrong though
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yaymalaga:
I'm not really sure, I saw a lot of benchmarks and comparatives and it seems a lit little bit better. But great, I want everyone opinions because you can be right

And what about /cache? Also quanta kernel is providing new changes and optimizations of f2fs in every release, so there is some support still.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kishke:
Now after dropping f2fs with 5.1 the phone is smooth and with great battery, maybe it was a tiny bit better on kit kat before art was fully set.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bobgeneric:
Did somebody test with Xposed?

Did work?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hamedunix:
Hey folks, I've been away from flashing for quite a while now . The last phone I flashed was my now stolen Sensation XE.

Back then I'd flash a custom recovery and then copy ROM file on phone memory and flash from recovery. is it still the same? Any extra info I need for Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ΦDroid:
Yes, I just recently started using f2fs with this ROM and have not noticed any performance improvement. I'll be switching back next time I do a clean flash.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HdSht:
Uhm...you will need twrp (cwm is dead)..the last version has some issues so you can flash the second last:

https://dl.twrp.me/mako/twrp-2.8.5.2-mako.img.html

Since you are a nexus user you have a lot of different kernels you can try...and last enjoy this awesome rom :good:.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hamedunix:
Thanks for your swift response :good:

So I reboot into bootloader, flash custom recovery, do a full wipe from the recovery and then flash the ROM. I'm not missing anything...right:confused:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ΦDroid:
Just make sure you don't wipe internal storage. Just data, system, cache, and dalvik cache.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hamedunix:
I just flashed the latest build, the home button doesn't take me to home screen. No matter what screen I am on, pressing the home button won't do a thing.

Anyone on Semaphore kernel? Noticing lag especially when typing
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Prashanth Meesara::
Phone rebooted thrice when listening to music, first I thought its power amp problem but even after using other apps phone rebooted anyone else facing this issue?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
All those people having problems. :eek: I'm on latest Chroma @ F2FS using the Quanta v5 kernel. I always wipe /data, /cache, /system and dalvik-cache before flashing a new update. I've found these Gapps http://xdaforums.com/android/general/gapps-lp-gapps-pa-gapps-aroma-installer-t3010798 which work waaay better than Banks(the setupwizard.apk would take ages to proceed to the next step whereas with this one everything works fine. In fact, I have copied the files from this Gapps package into Banks' package, replaced every file possible and copied some Google apps which I want installed as system apps)

No problems thus far, no random reboots, phone is snappy and behaves like a 2012 rocket. :p
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ΦDroid:
I was planning to test that package out next clean flash. Thanks for testing them for me ☺

I have Semaphore kernel and I don't have lag problems. Stock settings, max frequencies set to 1242 MHz. SwiftKey keyboard.

Nope, not a single random reboot on Chroma at all.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
Yep I tested yesterday with the latest unofficial but it seems Chroma isn't compatible. Users running Chroma on all supported devices (including myself) are reporting a "low storage" error after flashing the zip.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Aaron_Knowles:
Happened once yesterday when listening to Spotify when I tried changing track. But it was one time out of the 3 days of using Spotify on latest version so it didn't bother me too much. If it happens again I'll try figure out the problem.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yep, same here. However, the error does not seem to be accurate. I've got 288 MB free on my /system partition. Either way, I'm not able to install any apps due to it. Oh well, so much for Xposed.

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] removed Franco from Chroma a few builds ago, so there's no need for this user to flash stock first. As far as I'm aware Quanta is based on Franco, so if the camera is borked on Franco it's most likely going to be the same using Quanta.

Hello

Do you know what does those lines do?

What are the trade off if I wanna have exposed by deleting those lines?

Certainly it wouldn't be there without purpose right?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
They turn art optimisation to "everything" rather than the default setting of "speed". In theory they're meant to optimise apps at boot to give quicker performance. There's no harm in deleting them and to be honest I haven't noticed any decrease in speed, smoothness or performance.

sent by neural subspace transceiver node.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] athibanvasanth:
I know Xposed is not recommended with Chroma. But I tried flashing by deleting those two lines in build.prop like you said, because I need Amplify and Greenify(boost mode). Its lagging a lot and not smooth and stable ! Takes around 20 minutes for a single boot !

What is your experience ? Is it still smooth and stable ?

If yes,what are the modules you are currently using ?

Thanks for reading.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
Boot up time hasn't changed for me and everything is stable. I'm currently in testing mode, so I'm actively looking for decreases in speed, smoothness etc and the only thing I've noticed so far is a very slight lag when entering settings that wasn't there before. I was planning on running xposed for at least a week to have a better idea. At the moment the xposed modules I'm running are:

Bootmanager

Greenify

Unicon

Xposed GEL Settings

YouTube Adaway

All working as they should.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] athibanvasanth:
Thanks a lot.

Not sure what caused the lag here !

As of now, I clean flashed to latest build without Xposed. Am in the middle of an exam and do not want to waste my time.

Would be helpful if you can report after your one week of testing :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
That's exactly what I would have done if I'd had the same experience. I'll definitely report back after a week (maybe sooner if anything changes) but I'll do it on the unofficial xposed thread, I don't want this thread to become cluttered with ot xposed discussion, which as you rightly said isn't supported.

I'm also in the middle of exams (Statistics this week, Chemistry and Biology next week ?) so best of luck with yours!

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] do you plan on extending the navigation bar customisations more? Was just wondering because I saw a bit more is possible from other roms, and I'd like to get this rom on my wife's phone be she just needs a next song button there and it's currently not possible here.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
The functionality is already there: Settings > Chroma > Volume rocker > Playback control.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kishke:
Thanks, but I know about the volume rocker, it's not good enough to use while driving.

So ages ago I made my wife a playback button on the navigation bar using tasker. There are no custom keys in lollipop yet, but I have seen at least in XenonHD rom that one of the buttons you can set is for next song(and the rest of the playback buttons).

Band 4 of the 4G radio spectrum (you have to see what bands your carrier supports and where) . Nexus 4 doesn't have the proper hardware support for all the bands, so if it can't get the only band it can receive, it jumps back to 3G.
