Chroma with Hellscore kernel!

Though the changelog says hellscore kernel is the default for n6, I would like to pitch in with my experience about hellscore kernel with n5.

To begin with, I returned to chroma after a couple of months gap because earlier I was having google map fc's. I didn't like any other custom LP ROMs thus went to stock rom/kernel combination. Last week I thought of trying chroma again and this time didn't face any fc's. And then 4 days back thought of trying chroma with custom kernel. Code blue was my favorite, but I think it isn't available now. So have to decide between elementax and hellscore. I already tried elemental before, but hellscore, never. Downloaded and flashed hellscore and see the results in attachment.

Default hellscore kernel settings (no kernel manager installed/used), 2G and google sync always on, location in battery saving mode.

This is the highest SOT I've achieved ever with my n5 to date. ~32 hrs of battery life, ~5 hrs of SOT. :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Google. And there isn't a need to be conscious, it isn't being exploited nor is the vulnerability revealed yet.

Use textra or chomp it you're worried about security. Those two applications supposedly patches it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] inimaitimepass:
It is not a bug. If it bothers much, you can decompile the systemui apk, downsize the navbar icons to your liking, compile the apk back and use it. This is what I'm doing :cool:.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] peikojose:
Yep, it doesn't work even with xposed module enable notification ticker lollipop. I really miss that feature.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Jiggs82:
For now you guys can try this app it works very well https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silverfinger.ticklrfree
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lazydognet:
That's pretty impressive especially if you're using the battery draining Facebook app.

Thanks for sharing your results.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] intoxicated.mad:
it seems its only me who is having the issue ... after clean flash and nothing installed no modification ... I can't pull down the tiles..... here's log....

Edit: Flashed latest TK Gapps and issue is gone.

How to enable notifications/battery led?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] intoxicated.mad:
:D flash custom kernel!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fendytrancers89:
Wow!! Lol! Thanks bro :D code blue or hellscore kernel?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Goobz:
Take your pick...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nexttjme:
I recommend Hellscore because it's still on development. CodeBlue is no longer support by its dev.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Primokorn:
Yep and higher battery life compared to stock.

Nice to be able to change the lockscreen wallpaper :)

Thanks

Anyone else getting phantom notification on this with hells latest kernel? My phone dings and I pick it up but no notification, I check usual apps Gmail and telegram etc but nothing. It's happened about 4 times now in last hour.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hectorviov:
Do I have to factory reset the phone if changing from code blue to hellscore? I tried installing hellscore on top of chroma by doing this:

1.- Flash Chroma ROM

2.- Install hellscore kernel

3.- Wipe cache and Dalvik

but when the phone turns on it prompts me to enter a password because data is encrypted (which it isn't)...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] gaz41:
Thanks for adding lockscreen wallpaper. Only one problem: I'm not able to centre the wallpaper, when I set a wallpaper it's always shifted to the left. I try with quickpic and google photo.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
There isn't much to do with Lollipop, just because something is no longer supported doesn't mean that it shouldn't be used anymore.

This isn't a problem with the ROM. Nothing was changed to the actual wallpaper.

If you're talking about lockscreen wallpaper then your method of changing the lockscreen wallpaper is only one method and has nothing to do with quickpic or google photos.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chugger93:
Still on JellyBean, looking to upgrade my N5 as I'm way behind. Chroma seems good to run huh? I need stable as much as possible. Was looking at maybe xTraSmooth to tho. Any major bugs I should know of? Also, Is the kernel in this rom good, or do most of you run that Hell's Kernel
[Nexus 5 Android Development] fajarlazuarding:
Doesn't nexus 5 shipped with KitKat? Just curious because you're on jellybean lol

Yeah. This is definitely your choice for that. Hell's or ElementalX is my favorite kernel.

Yes the Nexus 5 was released with kitkat. Pretty amazing if someone has JB on it [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
not sure what to say:rolleyes: :eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] chugger93:
I got the N5 when it was released with KitKat. Still running some ROM on it, forget which one after 2 years. Figured I should make the switch. Still running franco kernel too! Ya I musta meant kitkat, not jellybean..lol
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ancidroide:
Yes Chroma is a good rom to make the switch... So... Please take and share a screenshot if you have a nexus 5 running jelly bean please ??
[Nexus 5 Android Development] k1silver:
I love this stable rom, and thanks for the new feature of the lockscreen wallpaper!

Then, on the latest build, I had a minor issue. In case I added new user from settings, and try to open Sound & notification in the new user's settings menu, it had been force closed.

Known issue, touching volume buttons together disables power button. Don't need to reboot just press volume down.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] puldag:
Appreciated, solved my problem..

Edit: I think it was caused by snoozed alarm.. To be precise: I flash new build over the old one when the alarm was snoozed.

Last build August 2nd, with Code blue kernel last one as well r955. OMG... amazing combination & best ROM ever. Battery is unbelievable perfect. One day and 12 hours with 2 hours screen on and 2 hours voice calls. Still having 25% left. Very smooth & stable. Thanks developer so much.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] pphsien:
Chroma is indeed stable for daily use. I like "volume rocker wake' and "tap to sleep" features so that I can quickly check messages with one hand.

Thank you zephiK for your efforts.

Or by knowing all the Android devices were affected before yesterday, the app didn't check anything and always returned "AFFECTED" for having a maximum of people afraid and liaising with Zimperium! ;)

They will now update their app today for making it really work! #kidding #ornot
[Nexus 5 Android Development] daring_guy:
r955 was the last one from Code Blue from a month or so ago. There hasn't been a new release since then.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] derboedi:
Or none that we know of. I guess he is still developing but only for a small group of people. But as soon as he needs a new "hard drive" ( ;) ) he will probably come back. :D I know I'm being mean but that guy is just unbelievable.

I've used ElementalX by [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] for the last couple of weeks and I'm more than happy with it.

Oh, okay, thanks. I better keep using Hells then. More up-to-date, I guess.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I posted this in the nexus 4 and nexus 6 thread. Not sure why it is saying that, if you use the lookout stage fright detector, it shows that it isn't vulnerable.

It could be possible that application is detecting for their specific patch as they have their own patch on their website.

The fix I'm using is directly from Google itself aka aosp r9.

Anyone have an issue with voice search? I get the following screen when opening voice search. Had the problem a few versions ago so I switched to Purity, with it I get the normal microphone screen. I switched back to latest Chroma and I get the inactive screen below. Same Gapps in all cases.

Edit: Dumbass here. I just figured out I must have a layer that has white text. I started touching below the line at the bottom and there are buttons to set it up (I think). Touched something that brought up voice search, now it works normally.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Good day to you all.

Per the request of zephiK, please read and understand the following

We (moderators) have been called to this thread way to many times for issues regarding OT (Off Topic).

So where do I post if I need help with an issue

You first search the thread to be sure it hasn't already been mentioned and fixed.

You post here with explicit description of issue and if necessary POST A LOGCAT!

You post to the Q&A found here. This is where 99% of all conversation should take place

So you're thinking, everything I say is important. To this you should know, way to many of you believe this to be the case. Well you are wrong. The only important comments made in this thread are by the developer and by users who post clearly with ROM issues.

Posting app or kernel issues, which you've added to your setup does not belong here. Bring those issues to that app or kernel thread.

Bottom line from here on anything deemed non Development, which could have been posted in Q&A, will simply be removed with no warning.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I don't have a problem with the thread being off-topic, this goes across ALL of my threads including the Nexus 6. I've never had a problem with any users in the Nexus 5 or Nexus 4 threads so I'm not sure why this thread has posts being deleted.

The only request that I ever made is for anything that is considered a generic technical question goes into Q&A. Examples would be a user having a problem with battery life which pertains to wakelock problems goes into Q&A thread.

For anything technical bug reports then yes a logcat is needed and the procedures to report a bug report is already in place.

Please don't delete any posts if they're off-topic, I don't mind posts that are non-Chroma but overall Android related.

I'm already somewhat upset that my Nexus 6 thread keeps getting locked down for no apparent reason and now posts in the Nexus 5 thread are being deleted? Just because there are users who cause trouble doesn't mean that everybody needs to be punished.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This is all that has been done. No more, no less.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rpr69:
This post on Reddit mentions that it is CVE-2015-3826 that is vulnerable still. I have not independently verified that his method does indeed validate that as the still vulnerable exploit. I am also finding it difficult to find any indication from the AOSP source that Google actually fixed any of the exploits. The current changelog does not specifically mention either the CVE's or stagefright itself. It's a bit disconcerting, to say the least.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I'll keep looking around, if there are missing patches that Google forgot to include.

I'll be sure to add them in if I do find them and check it in with the Zimperium application. If you by chance, find them. Send me a link as it would help me greatly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoshuaOrphir:
Maybe a bit off topic but I need to ask this.

In this screenshot you can see that my scrollbar is really thick. This is in some parts of the settings app, in TitaniumBackup and in Threema. Is this normal? I don't think so. So how can I get rid of it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Yes that is intended, the reason why it is intended is because Chroma adds the feature of "auto scrolling" in applications part of the menu. This allows you to long press on the scroll bar to navigate through the list of applications alphabetically.

I found some patches that were missing in AOSP_r9 from CM. Merging them now and compiling, I'll see if this remedies the problem with the Z. stagefright application.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rpr69:
From what I read, CM12.x is fully patched, and I have found statements from them confirming this, but there doesn't seem to be a way to find the actual commits, as they don't appear to list the CVE in the commit, which sort of makes sense, in a security by obscurity methodology, but it doesn't help in this situation.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tcat007:
Looks like mine, very handy for long lists. Normal as Z said. Running fast and smooth!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
It's alright, I found the full patch list here. https://s3.amazonaws.com/zhafiles/Zimperium-Handset-Alliance/ZHA-Stagefright-Patches.zip

I'll be comparing and contrasting what is missing from AOSP_r9 and merge them in and then push out a r2 of 08/06r2 with the fullest patches if there are any missing patches.

Edit: Compiling a test rom with the fixes. Google forgot to include 3-4 of those patches.

One of the patches, I wasn't able to merge due to a conflict (missing lines of code that was done in the original patch). Hopefully it passes the Z. app and says it's not vulnerable anymore
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ThePresence:
Does this rom have expanded desktop?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] JoshuaOrphir:
Ok I see. Good that it is not a bug. But is it possible to change that? Maybe to edit the build.prop?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Wakamatsu:
There's an odd bug with this ROM that not a lot of people will run into. When gapps is not flashed, the home button is unresponsive. When gapps is flashed, the home button functions properly. Rastapop is another ROM that exhibits this behavior. Axxion, Pure Nexus and SimpleAOSP are 3 ROMs that don't.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] surrealjam:
This is not saying anything against the Chroma ROM as I know this is an AOSP bug but I can't believe it's still not fixed. I am referring to the flashlight bug which happened to me last night - needed to use it in the car and after about 2 minutes it timed out and then you cannot use the flashlight or camera till rebooting.

I can't believe Google have known about this for months (years?) and it remains an issue. Again, not a comment on Chroma but still very annoying.

It is supported, just in closed quarters (beta testers).

Sorry for maybe contributing a bit to the drama, it never occurred to me that the detector was flawed (although it should have been obvious, with two detectors giving different results) I updated the detector and your original ROM is clean. The new one should be even cleaner!

Thanks!

Sorry all, I tried reading about 8 pages of this forum but couldn't find an answer.

It's your choice if you want most google apps instaled or just the basics, there's no right or wrong choice.

Did you check the md5 of the gapps packages to make sure they weren't corrupted during download?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lazydognet:
Did you come from a previous version of Chroma or another ROM....if another ROM, which one?

What version of TWRP?

I ran across once before when trying another ROM and I had to do a separate wipe of the System partition after a standard factory reset.

Of course, it could be bad downloads as previously mentioned (by checking MD5).
