Hi,

are there a lot off people suffering from the "mobile radio active" bug in lollipop on this rom?

I do not read a lot about, but is this maybe because you cannot really do something about it?

I get bad battery life due to this bug, maybe 2 or 2,5 hours of screen on time and the display is not the biggest battery drain.

If there are people not addected by this bug, maybe you could share your configuration, so I can compare.

I use the app 4636v2 which allows me to stick on either GSM,3g,2g e.t.c. App isn't available on play anymore so you will have to search it out. Also I turn my wifi off when not needed and location to battery saving. Lastly turn screen brightness down as much as possible whilst still being able to view it. Finally kernel tweeks and I get decent battery life considering the devices age.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] caesium2:
Thanks for your reply.

I think wifi is not a big battery hog. I also turn GPS off when not using it. And also try to keep screen brightness to a minimum.

I will have a look at that app.

But the main thing is, what is the most battery consuming app when you look at your detailed battery usage?

Normaly this should be the screen, but in my case, there is some random app like chrome, whatsapp or something else, consuming a lot off battery, but only when I am outside and not connected to any wifi.

Do you have the same behavior and maybe did not recognize it yet?

Regards.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mymeatb18:
WiFi uses the least amount of battery. 3g uses more battery and I have especially noticed chrome uses a lot of battery. This is not a ROM issue. I use hangouts a lot throughout the day, for hangouts conversations which uses data. this is at the top of my list along with Google services since hangouts uses Google servers. Then android os because hangouts uses my data, then screen.

Anything that uses mobile data for an extended period of time will use the most battery therefore be at the to of the list.

As far as GPS goes I feel that using device GPS is better. Battery saving uses the mobile data which if u don't have a great data signal can use more battery. Its better to control the apps that u don't want to use location in app ops. I leave my device only GPS on at all times. My GPS only turned on twice all day and its less of a pain to have to turn on the GPS to then use maps

hello guys I have the volume has 50 keyboard AOSP rom ... why is very low compared to other rom? Thanks in advance☺
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Sorry man but that didn't make any sense. Something about volume and 50 shades of keyboards which are lower than other ROMs... Care to rephrase it? [emoji14]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] SkippyItaly:
Hi guys, very happy with the ROM and Franco kernel, so far so good.

Just a question: in Users & Profiles I am not able to set a picture from my gallery. I can take a picture with the camera and select it and it works fine. I can also select a picture from the gallery but in this case it doesn't set on the profile once the selection is confirmed.

No problem with stock rom with that. Could anyone please confirm?

Regards
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dhanmohan:
which galley app u r using?.. working fyn for me..i'm using cm12 gallery apk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] SkippyItaly:
Thanks for the answer, I use the stock gallery or also quick pic but it doesn't matter really as I select the picture and I enter in the "edit" windows where there's the grid to centre on the image and select what to show as profile picture and when I hit the "v" symbol on top nothing happens, it goes out from that but the picture is not associated to the user.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] SkippyItaly:
Sorry admin, based on the title of that thread I thought it was only for an old version. I'll post my questions over there.

How's the latest build treating everyone? I'm still on 06/02. Shall I upgrade?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CyberZeus1977:
Really good. I suggest you to upgrade
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xshallowgrave:
I decided it was worth it :)

Quick question: Do you know if it is possible to bypass having to wake my phone up just to use "Ok, Google"? It's quite annoying to me. I don't see why it can't recognize that command with the screen off.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CyberZeus1977:
No, I don't know it [emoji3]

Sorry read ur post too quickly. I know my note 3 work phone does it but only when charging which is pretty dumb. Should work without charging as well

Encryption doesn't work on the Nexus 4. It will corrupt your data. Only way I found to fix it was flashing the factory image, meaning all your data will be gone. Please do not encrypt your Nexus 4 on Chroma.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Google Now doesn't work on the Nexus 4 while the screen is off because of the CPU! When the phone charges it doesn't get into deep sleep but it stays on minimum frequency aka 384 MHz(for us)(this is why it works when it charges?). Such basic info is so basic that every XDA member should know or should have heard.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jtwebfusion:
Google now works for me when the screen is off probably because I'm on hellscore kernel with dt2w enabled...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CyberZeus1977:
I'm also on hellscore with dt2w and "OK Google" doesn't work when the screen is off. It must be something different...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Sorry for my absence from the thread, been on a break and spending more time with Summer than ROM development.

For you using HellsCore kernel, you're using b80 correct? I plan on bundling the next update with hellscore.

This will eliminate the LED questions and provide better performance / battery life.

Edit: Actually nevermind, I'll leave it stock. The kernel is in AnyKernel and wasn't a boot.img format, I was just going to change it from the zip directly.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] CyberZeus1977:
Yes, I'm using b80.

Welcome back zephiK, hope you enjoyed your time off!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gabidiesel:
Welcome back zephiK... waiting for new updates

I don't know if I'm still considered being on break or not, there just isn't much to do with the ROM left anymore :p I don't want to add stuff just to release.

yes, the ROM has indeed come a long way. Become very mature.

I just wanted to ask is it okay if i post certain issues which i was facing with the last build? Some issues for which i cannot provide log, i will write as detailed a description as possible?

[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Nope, I ended up leaving it as the same. I'll be honest, it's tough to do any kind of inline building for kernels for a device which I don't have access to. If I was to inline build a kernel then I need to verify that the kernel actually works in terms of thermal throttling, cpu hotplug and so forth.

I know I can get you guys to test it but it's too much work and I rather just have you guys just use whatever kernel you're currently using.

Sure, I guess.

- Franco Kernel

- Hellscore

.... try them out yourself and see which one you like the most. Flashing custom roms and kernels is a adventure in itself after all ;)

Yup, I don't want to add "things" to the ROM just because I feel that I need to. Just occasional maintenance releases is the only thing I'll be doing unless I absolutely need to make a change or add a feature.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Michaelmania:
Guys if you already don't know, then u should know dont ask petty questions like that here. If you read this thread from start to finish you'll find a lot of temper here. I'm not even sure if you'll get all the posts now anymore. The developer maintains this ROM as per his own wishes and merely shares for us to use. He even created a FAQ for exactly these questions. You can find it here: zephik.com/chroma-faq/ Do go through that before asking these. Why should you do so?

Ans: Because it enraged him so much so that he left working on it from a while. Mods now actively scout his threads to find, delete, ban such users. I'm merely aiding you not warning you just to ensure this thread continues.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dinuweera:
Hi zephiK,

Is there anyway to install MusicFX back (something I can manually do)? I find that the MusicFX on the "FX Booster" EQ sounds really great.

Anyway, thanks for the great rom.

Dean
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ChainFires Son:
Never heard of MusicFx ☺
[Nexus 4 Android Development] kishke:
Zephik I don't think you should change the the kernel anyway, keep it stock and let users choose the kernel they want.

Also if someone has any kernel issue he can always just flash the rom to go back to stock, it's also less work for you keeping up with the kernel updates and fixes.

p.s. If you suddenly need the feel to do something to the rom so you can upload, you could also change to pa nav bar ^^
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dhanmohan:
does the latest build is on hellscore kernal?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Sideload it. Audio fx is better anyways. I personally use viper 4 android.

It's the default equalizer that comes with aosp. It's not even updated by Google.

No. Flash it separately.

Users can choose whatever they want regardless if I was to bundle the rom with a custom kernel of my choice.

I wonder, I thought Google and the community has fixed memory leaks on Lollipop, especially on 5.1.

But if I have my phone on for like 3 days nonstop, it's starting to get slow and sluggish, I had to reboot and usually it goes back to normal. Is this some kind of a memory leak too? I've tried various Lollipop ROMS in the past few months, and I always try to stay on the latest versions of each ROMs.

Is Lollipop still prone to memory leaks?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ttheodorou:
what makes you so sure that is lollipop and not the application that you use that has a memory leak? no offence intended just something to investigate. i have not any memory leak from this rom and for the last 4 builds the phone restarted only when a new build was out.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
I use the same set of applications on KitKat and I have no slowdowns even after a week without any reboots
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Do you even clean install(wipe data, cache, system and dalvik-cache in TWRP)?

Do you even clean install as well(wipe data, cache, system and dalvik-cache in TWRP)?

Well said. +infinity

Maybe you need to search for manual instead of auto(joke) or upgrade to either Windows 8.1 or 10(joke 2). [emoji14]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
Of course. But then if you guys don't experience memory leaks, probably it's just me.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Echelonex:
I dont just clean instal, i delete whole memory and OS before i instal new version of sistem with advance wipe option.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] can you hide the AudioFX from the launcher? It takes space(+1 more icon) and there is no need for it to be inside the app drawer as, if we ever need it during music playback, we can access it from the Music app(eg Google Play Music > Settings > Equaliser)

having touch problem..sometimes touch don't work..happens everyday atleast once...Is it rom or kernal..i am using Quanta kernal V6
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dcop7:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] dhanmohan:
so u mean this is kernal problem?stock kernal means chroma rom kernal right?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dcop7:
I don't know if that is a kernel problem. But try chroma kernel to see if the problem continues. If it didn't happen anymore, it is a Quanta kernel problem
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] mauriciognr:
Hi guys. Some silly questions

1-. i know is a super light rom but i dont even have a camera app or a browser or a gallery jaja, is that normal? I mean is ok i know the gapps comes with chrome and google camera but i always use a super small package.

2-. Is possible to use f2fs with this rom?

3-. im here for the battery life, with that in mind, is rom own kernel or Hellscore better for that? Im gonna give both his fair share of testing, just want to know how is battery doing for u guys.

thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arffrhn:
1. Yea. Personally I just use google camera and quickpic for gallery from playstore. You can also use tk gapps which has google camera add-on.

2. I think so..but you have to convert it yourself. Imo, it really has no significant boost to performance though and is quite a hassle to convert each build and you'll have to convert kernel too.

3. Tried both but for me, hellscore is better. I am using b79. But it all depends on your usage though.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mauriciognr:
Oh ok, nevermind that FS then. How much screen time do you get generrally? Thanks man
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arffrhn:
I can easily reach 3 to 4 hours with 3G always on and at a quite bad coverage area.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gabidiesel:
what kind of setup do you use and what version of kernel....I never had more than 2 hours SOT.... waiting for your answer...thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] arffrhn:
Using hellscore b79. Kernel settings used almost default with some changes in pics.

And I use dt2w too btw.

thnx tried that yesterday.. seems good.. didn't faced it till last 18hrs
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TA123:
Does the camera work ok for you guys? When I use flash I've got just pitch black photos.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] SkippyItaly:
I think I will try this hellscore kernel, atm I am on Franco kernel and it's not too bad, just want to try if I can get some more battery life out of it ;)

How does the hellscore cope with SOD? Any experience?? I had a couple of episodes after installing ROM and kernel, then so far so good but I'm always afraid it will be just behind the corner!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] axsdenied1:
Same here. Seems to work if you focus before taking a photo.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] SkippyItaly:
Same here, never noticed it as I hardly use the flash when taking photos but if you just point and shoot the photo is pitch black, if you tap on screen first it works fine.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Juzman:
I'm getting roughly same as what I for with code_blue. 4.5-5.5 SOT. Runs beautifully
[Nexus 4 Android Development] axsdenied1:
Open camera works fine. The problem may be with the google camera...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mymeatb18:

I confirm that problem with the camera, i was thinking that it was bad or something. Google Camera, Cm12 Camera and Snap Camera they all have this problem with focus and flash, jsut give a black picture. Like axsdenied1 says with Open Camera it works just fine.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Juzman:
My bad. Thought I was in the N5 thread. I frequent too many. :p
[Nexus 4 Android Development] rallyemax:
Is anyone else getting a "suspend_backoff" kernel wakelock? My device fails to deep sleep at all, that wakelock keeps it awake 100% of the time the screen is off. I've only installed Chromy today, so the sample size is rather small, but it has persisted over the last few hours, in between several reboots.

It's not the uploader service bug wakelock, as that has been fixed by the Cyanogenmod team and has been merged in Chromy.

Worst thing about a kernel wakelock like this is that it's hard to pin down. Nothing in logcat, except that it's clear the device isn't sleeping.

I am running Franco's kernel, so that's obviously something to rule out. Can anyone on a built-in kernel check their Better Battery Stats stats and see if they see significant suspend_backoff wakelocks? Thanks.

(Edit: I've been searching for info on this issue for a while now, but it turns out that I omitted to search this thread for wakelocks...my question on the specific wakelock still stands, if anyone is willing to answer, but I'm reading through the thread on the wakelock issue now...)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] caesium2:
I never had a significant amount of this wakelock on franco, hellcore or stock kernel.

I think you have an app that keeps your device awake and it has nothing to do with kernel or the rom. Did you read this? https://github.com/asksven/BetterBatteryStats-Knowledge-Base/wiki/suspend_backoff

What apps do you have installed?

btw: Chromy sounds nice for this rom ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] springy:
Hi all,

I am thinking of flashing this ROM this weekend on my Nexus 4 as I am currently running stock, no root but get the SOD (Screen of Death) issue.

Does this ROM fix the SOD problem (has anyone have this issue) and also do I need to flash a different Kernel that is not on the default Chroma ROM?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ttheodorou:
i had this problem twice with the rom. i use this rom since the begining. in this built i didn't has any sod. i use franco kernel with this rom
[Nexus 4 Android Development] springy:
Thanks [MENTION=2483669]ttheodorou[/MENTION]

Based on the OP, I guess the ROM is shipped with Franco's kernel by default?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ttheodorou:
nop it's shipped with the default 5.1 kernel so you can install what you want

So I just checked the about after updating to todays build.

Seems like theres no franco.

so swag, buying it and flashing it.

Edit 2: Oh god, Android is Starting Optimization EVERY BOOT.

What is this madness??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dewlap:
is there any gapps package that has working google maps and navigation, with 5.1?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
Flashing Franco's kernel causing a loop after optimizing apps. I had to make a modified version of it before to match the 5.1 ramdisk and using a 5.0.x is a no no.

I've ranted about kernels being full boot images and packing their own ramdisk because there is many factors that go into making making a ramdisk from the ROM side and a kernel and changing a couple init lines and packing another ramdisk from a different ROM is a no no.

You have the actual init binary, healthd, sepolicy, ueventd and a whole lot of other core system processes that are linked to the ramdisk.

Koush knew this years ago and came up with the anykernel format which unpacks the ROM's ramdisk, allows a kernel Dev to patch in what they need to and swap out the zimage (the zImage is your actual kernel) so there is no reason for any kernel Dev to package a ramdisk with their kernel for years now
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sykopompos:
It should only optimize any new apps added upon reboot
