Which package? Normal, full o zero? Because I can't flash latest normal Slim GApps.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] crian:
If you dirty flashed with banks just clear cache and data of play service and google app. The force close should be gone after that.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Won't be druv:
Me neither, maybe we got lucky?[emoji111]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I'll leave the gapps there, the fix is already included in the download link. If people are unable to read that then that's their problem, I've warned them prior to the link :)

I don't understand waht you're trying to say?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Bl4ck3urn:
Zero! Dirty flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Koopa777:
There is absolutely nothing wrong with banks gapps. The latest Google Play Services is a trainwreck, as usual. FC's on N5, N10, G2, etc.

zephik, thank you so much for the kernel change! The greatness never stops! :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nexttjme:
Lastest Chroma build + CodeBlue + lastest BankGapps here. And no FC with google play services.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] PMamba:
Just tried the tip given on the chroma download page (settings>apps>all> Google play services>manage storage>clear all data>backspace>clear cache). It didn't work the first time but tried again and it's been a couple of minutes without the message popping up

Edit: Well, it came back and now it's gone again. Anything else to try? Maybe flashing another gapps over this one? I'd prefer one that is able to receive updates from the Play Store
[Nexus 5 Android Development] frikakwa:
Confirmed... after a 4th clean flash... using other localisations than "device only" in Google settings leads to recurrent FC (Beautiful widget checking the localisation after avery unlock or after a reboot!).

Easy to reproduce by using then Maps which failed after clicking 3 times on the "radar" button: the GPS icon stays like stuck in the status bar... but localisation is not working anymore properly! :(

I hate being this guy... the pain in the ass but... I've just installed Terminus with Bank Gapps and Code Blue... everything's running fine without any FC.

Sorry but this looks to be a rom issue this time. Don't wanna blame [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION]... just a feedback from a user who loves your rom! ;)

Maybe is there something visible in my logcat previously posted!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
So use Terminus.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] firegate22:
Thank you for your rom :)

But I want to ask for a small feature/setting. While using a PIN for the lockscreen each input is visible with a "glow". Is there any way to add an option to disable this "glow" for each number? Idk why I can't any thing about it, I just added it as suggestion to another rom and I never noticed this option anywhere else.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] frikakwa:
My post was not agressive and was supposed to help you to identify something weird in Chroma.

I've never complained and thanked you more than often... I really don't understand the way you replied.

Good luck for the future and sorry for being a pain in the ass. Bye...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lownita:
I found that kinda rude to be honest, he was just trying to help. But this kind of behavior seems quite common here from what I have witnessed in my time on XDA.

thank you [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] for new build :good:

FEATURE REQUEST: can you bring back Brightness tile? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AstroBoy89:
I've followed the steps in the linked post; however, even after uninstalling the current GPS app and installing the previous GPS 7.5.62, I'm still getting force closes, although they didn't start until after I rebooted my device. I think there might be an issue with either Banks apps or this rollout. I haven't tried Slim's google apps yet, but as soon as I'm near WiFi I'll download them as I'm pretty low on data at the moment. I saw a recent post about some guy switching to terminus and using Banks google apps without any issues. I haven't used terminus before and don't really want to switch to test it out, but maybe there is an issue with this rollout. It might not have been present in testing, but with so many users reporting the force close even after periods of time whenever nothing happens surely can't be a coincidence. It's weird too, it FC's randomly, but more so whenever I use apps that have anything google tied into them whether it be games or productivity apps. I might just switch back to the previous build in the meantime until an issue can be fixed, but I am definitely not leaving chroma, I like it too much :D I'll provide a logcat when I get the chance and I'll try to edit it, although I've only had to edit a logcat once to cut out the excess crap, so it'll take away before I can post it. Hopefully within a few hours. Keep up the good work!

P.S. it might just be me, but this version seems to run much warmer than the previous build. I've only tried it with the stock kernel and HellsCore, but I'll try it with Franco and CodeBlue soon. I've already erased my device and installed the factory images from 5.1.0 and still had these issues; however I haven't tried flashing the factory image for 5.1.1 and tried flashing the latest build. I'll do that first before the logcat and get back to you asap!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
FC is happening mainly on LMY48B build roms so roms which isn't on this build won't have issue with play services FC... again these are gapps issues and nothing to do with roms.

eg terminus is on a different build altogether. i am on LMY48B and everything works fine with the below mentioned play services.

if you do a search you could find multiple posts with fcs of play services on various roms with LMY48B builds due to a buggy play service release or gapps

Google Play Services 7.3.29 (1866531-438)

[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Dirty flashed latest chroma plus latest banks gapps which includes Google Play Services 7.5.66 from 5-21-15 build also running latest code blue kernel with absolutely no Google Play Services fc's. Only thing I did different in recovery was wipe cache and dalvik after flashing ROM then gapps. Normally I would only ever wipe cache and dalvik if I was just upgrading gapps. All good here, thanks [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] for another awesome update. Cheers
[Nexus 5 Android Development] piperx:
Clean install, (system is a must) always clean both caches after install, latest banks, philz cwm, mybackup pro (40 apps), SuperSU beta 49 (been using on this ROM since it came out)

Fantastic, no problems at all

[Nexus 5 Android Development] AstroBoy89:
Seeing as how you posted this only 20 minutes ago, you might not have come across any issues. How long have you been on the latest build and have you since rebooted after all your apps were restored and such? It worked fine with me until after my apps were restored and I rebooted my phone. Clearing data and cache helped, until the data built back up again in the google play services and started FC upon a reboot.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
rebooted couple times since, no fc's upon boot. Not sure just did as i stated above, but will surely report if anything changes. At this stage it all looks good :fingers-crossed:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] AstroBoy89:
Damn...wonder what's going on then...other people are having this issue though. Are you using Banks GAPPS or Slim's? Also, what kernel (not sure if that matters though). I have tried flashing factory images and flashing this latest build, but I still have the same issue. I've even followed the linked post on installing the earlier Google Play Services, but it still force closes and it will eventually self update (can't stop it, I've tried many times). I'm thinking of just posting a logcat. I'll try redownloading the latest build even though the md5 was checked and verified. I'll also try Banks GAPPS first and then Slims to see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Koopa777:
To those having issues, try these gapps. They are from Chet Kener (Optipop/UBER).

Dirty flashed the rom only last night. I use it with slim gapps. Working great! Btw why do you guys flash gapps again when updating chroma?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AstroBoy89:
When you say clean install except for SDcard, what do you mean? Do you mean a factory reset in TWRP? That's standard practice, unless you're wiping extra in advanced wipe under TWRP.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Lol - my first dirty flash in like 4 years was a month or 2 ago, and I get hit with an appops/privacy guard change and got nothing but a bowl of boot loops! That's my luck with dirty flashing, but we know the benefits of a good clean flash - a good proper clean flash - I know we've discussed somewhere on xda before.

But, these fcs are being reported all over the place. Looked like there was a funky play services out, but has been taken care of just recently with another update.

I should say - I guess. I'm using deltadroid minimal gapps from something like 5-8 and never had any fcs. Been on latest build since like 8am this morning, everything I use is working as expected.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Only flashing gapps if there was an updated version ;)

Yeah I use Banks also and no issues with Google Play Services.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Factory reset is standard practice, but factory reset alone does not make a clean flash.

You can go through my post history for proper clean flash instructions.

Sorry, but I'm not typing it - yet again. 15 or 30 times is my limit!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AstroBoy89:
You wouldn't happen to have a link would you? You have 1978+ posts....where would I look? I've looked before using Google and XDA, but a clean flash just comes up with factory reset, which I know isn't right :/

Lots of misinformation on clean flashing, you'll get it, if you really want it.

Just go into recovery select wipe, then select advanced, then you want to wipe system, data, dalvik, cache all four..

Then Install as necessary..

Xposed OOT

I know Xposed is not working with Chroma ROM, but today i forgot to flash Gapps and flashed Xposed and it was all working fine for me. After i installed Gapps, the out of storage error came up. Thought it could be problem with the Gapps, tried with CM's set of Gapps too. Same problem. How come Xposed works fine without Gapps on Chroma, but causes errors once Gapps are installed? Any workaround? Love Chroma ROM, so dont want to switch to any other ROM.

You just have to disable "full art" by changing 2 lines in the build.prop and xposed should work fine.

Hate to say it, but xda has certainly gone downhill the last year or so.

Sad, disappointing, disheartening, the list goes on.

I used to build, thought about sharing, but seeing how things go all too often nowadays, I wouldn't be able to put up with it - as we are now seeing with some really good developers.

Even g+, which I hate anyway, is getting bad for devs. Same stuff, different day.

I'm still getting FC....I couldn't find your post about how to wipe your phone and I went all the way through the beginning of may, unless it's further back. I wiped my data, system, cache, and dalvik and flashed everything accordingly, but I'm still getting force closes. I read the description for the new BaNKs GAPPS and I thought it said he removed some updates, yet when I look at GPS for example, it still says 7.5.66.

I know I said I would reset everything yesterday, but I haven't yet wiped my phone including my sdcard and flashed the factory images. I had hoped I could avoid going through the trouble to using adb, but it looks like I have no choice.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Nnyan:
Titanium is cool to get your apps re-installed but my main time waster is logging into all my different apps/accounts. Someone recommend Lastpass (I had no idea it would log you into apps) and after a complete bare metal wipe of my phone I'm in the process of getting all my info into LP. Hopefully between TB and LP getting my phone back up will be much faster.

Is the memory management tweaked in this ROM or is it the new 5.1.1 release?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] thorrules:
I tried all steps mentioned by zephiK in the original post to avoid the Google play services stopped working issue. What I have noticed is that, cleaning up the data tends to fix this issue for a while and then it comes back again, probably when new apps are installed. I am trying to find some pattern to it, but I can't seem to. Anyway sorry for the ramble, but just go to your Apps - Google Play Services - manage space and then clean up the data. Once you do that you should be good for while.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] frikakwa:
Thanks Mate! Your post is the one who allows the last build to make our N5 fly! ;)

A quick sum up: I've tried the 3 last Banks Gapps (19, 21 and 22 May) and always had FC when using Google Maps (high accuracy setup in Google settings localisation!). For info: I've always clean flashed! These Gapps are including Services 7.5.*... which is indeed making the LMY48B build crashing.

After reflashing the "old" gapps from Zephik AndroidHost (gapps-L-5-1-15.zip) including your suggested Google Services (7.3.29), everything's running fine... and I can now enjoy the super smoothness of the last build!

So... in a nutshell:

LMY48B -> Google services 7.3.29 ok

LMY47X -> Google services 7.5.* ok
[Nexus 5 Android Development] crian:
Thanks for advice.

Did you simply install the GPS as a apk or did you include it in the zip?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nirlav:
I tried to install 7.3.29 but Google maps still crashing.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tcat007:
Anyone that gets Maps FC. Double check that you have Privacy Guard off, or at least for play services location. That's what seemed to fix it for me (as well as 7.3.29).
