[Nexus 5 Android Development] hamma:
It even is the best rom without it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Chroma is a ROM suited to my needs, not yours or everybody else. Chroma has always been my take on how a custom ROM should look like. I decided to share it with the community because I felt that i did a good job and wanted to share to others who has the same idea in mind as me.

The code for blacklist is pretty intensive, I might add it and I might not. Chroma is a lightweight ROM, not a heavyweight one. There are already apps on the Play Store that can do blacklist.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CitizenLee:
Haha, not when you're being spammed a few times a day by cold callers!

Weird that it's not included in Chroma, but if it ever does get that feature I'll come back :)

You have done an amazing job on this ROM and I understand you make it for yourself and your own needs, which is why I'm not asking for it as a feature request. I just wanted to clarify if it was missing because of ROM or Android, as then I will know if I need to change 5.X ROM or roll back to Kitkat. As for apps on the Playstore, I'm not a fan of using apps to do things that Android can do natively.... that's just me though, I don't expect everyone to be the same :)

I use Chroma on my N7 and it's perfect on that ;)

All the best!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hamletiano:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION], don't really know what happened but I'm sure many people, including myself, appreciate all you work and efforts and the fact that Syko will be back in Chroma..

What do you think about that speaker calling feature that was mentioned a little while ago?. It was created by Slimteam. Is it heavy weight code or would it still suit into your idea for Chroma?

Cheers!!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] telep:
This is by far the best lollipop rom for nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Seems like it's a personal problem. All the features are listed in the feature set in op. If it's not there then it won't be added as there are apps that already does that on the play store.

On the nexus 6 someone mentioned this way back, to me at feature isn't intuitive and seems like it would prompt a lot of mistakes of accidentally putting the phone into speaker.

I'm just not interested in that feature. I'm very strict on what I include in the rom. It is a lightweight rom and if I don't find the feature useful, I won't add it. If a feature is added and I revisit it and find that the feature doesn't make sense anymore I'll remove it from the rom.

The whole point of chroma is to be lightweight so I have to be selective on what I include with the rom otherwise chroma will just become a ROM that just adds everything that is widely available which is something I don't want to do.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] CitizenLee:
Yeah mate, I just assumed it would be included as a standard Android feature. Totally my fault for not understanding that only things explicitly listed were included. Easy mistake to make, sorry! No need to get angry though, I wasn't criticising your awesome ROM or making demands for you to change it! There are more than enough ROMs available to keep us all happy without us getting hostile. Enjoy the rest of your day ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I wasn't being angry, I'm just explaining my reasoning behind not including that particular feature.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] piperx:
I too wish blacklist was available, but, I won't change ROMs because its not :D:D

Dear all,

May I ask you for advise? I have a problem with GPS. It's not stable and loosing signal all the time.

Many thanks for help
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tcat007:
Please keep it light weight. Just like the reason I use Banks Gapps. If it isn't in the Rom it can be had elsewhere. Most of us don't want all the extra weight. I blacklist through GV/Ooma, I'm sure everyone does it differently, all the more reason for keeping it light, BUD Light...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ReMuSeR:
guys i want to flash code blue kernel so how do i do should i flash stock 5.1 kernel first and then flash code blue or i can flash code blue over franco kernel ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] endomatic:
Flash CB over Franco
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Exactly my thoughts. If an app can do it then use an app. No need to bundle something that won't be used. The code for blacklist is very heavy and has a big overhead on the overall rom.

It's the tradeoff for having good performance and battery life
[Nexus 5 Android Development] I.m.Tuga:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION], about the navigation bar I've mentioned before, here's what I've meant, having in mind that the ROM is set at 480dpi:

On Chroma ROM:

On another ROM, for example, Purity:

Now, may I ask, is it possible to lower the black bar instead of resizing to much the icons on your ROM?

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tcat007:
Just change it in settings /chroma/nav bar. Icons don't seem to change much (too big imo)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
You mean scaling the buttons based on the dpi. I can do that but seeing that on the nexus 6 it works fine.

It's honestly not a big deal, if I have the time I'll work on it but I don't have the device to test it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] I.m.Tuga:
I think the difference gets worst in other sizes, we must not forget that we are changing navigation bar height, not icon size.

At 24dp on chroma:

In other ROM with 24dp:

As you can see, the black bar gets slimmer on chroma too but at a cost of super small icons.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I can see the problem on your screenshot but on the Nexus 6, it appears to be normal (at least in my eyes).

Seeing that I don't have the physical device in my hand, I am unable to test possible fixes for this as well as I don't have the proper environment to compile a mako build. As I repeated before, I'll work on it when I have the chance. It may be fixed in the next build, it may not but a fix will come down the line.

If this bothers you too much, then use another ROM for the time being until it's resolved.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tcat007:
Those nav bar examples are strange. On my N5 the Chroma icons are full size (big) from top to bottom of bar no matter how much you shrink the bar. Similar to above larger image (but even larger). I prefer the small icons, so I just flash a soft key layer, which seem to scale as bar scales.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] I.m.Tuga:
Thank you for all your efforts, but despite this little subject, (don't even see it as issue) I won't change from this ROM for nothing.

It's stable, fast and as everything I need. There's no unneeded junk in it and that is enough for me.

Thank you very much [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Thanks for understanding.

Android 5.1 r5 appears! Time to do some digging.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] tcat007:
Only "unneeded junk" I can think of is Gallery. I just delete it every flash since it can't be disabled. Other than that it's perfect!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
To me, I use Gallery and prefer it over the other apps. QuickPic is a nice alternative though.

And it can be disabled, use Titanium Backup to freeze the app.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] barclac:
Good to see these updates rolling out all the time,and couldn't ask for a better ROM,just remember you have a life to,so don't go silly,?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Is anybody awake to test Chroma 04/13? It'll be the first hammerhead build I ever compiled.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Marescallus:
I'll try in like 30 minutes when I have internet.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
If I don't have anyone else by 30 minutes, let me know when you're back.

I have a prepared zip but need someone to flash it and ensure nothing is out of the unordinary.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] docck:
I'm ready. Where can I download it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Do a nandroid backup before you flash. This is a blind build on my part to fulfill Syko's shoes for maintaining hammerhead, I have not flashed the ROM as I don't own the device but it should work as I'm using the same proprietary binaries/vendor/kernel files that Syko used to build

Chroma 04/14 hammerhead (Nexus 5) - android-5.1.0_r5 (LMY47O)

Changelog: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1c7wNrT0khaipv-M0Z35OPQ8sxPHO-e9-Rk945fo4iJE

Download: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934554895

please post back if it boots etc etc etc. I'll be around to fix any problems for nexus 5 device specific issues.

Edit: Appears to be working. Flash away! Nandroid backup just incase.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] docck:
OK, download, dirty flash, boot without problems, updating Android without problems, at first look can't see nothing wrong. Will see later if I'll have issues I'll report about them
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I'll make it official then. Thanks for testing.

DT2W support

An optional DT2W for N5 users would be cool, just like the N6 has.

Just a suggestion and I know sykopompos is on holiday.

Settings FC(like clicking on about phone or Chroma Options) with any Layers theme applied on latest build..works fine with no Layers theme..! :(

any one faces same issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BeDesireS:
I am using HEX layers without problem on latest build!

Maybe a specific layers issue with the latest 2.1 commits!?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shadowdevil:
Yea you are right... :o Some layer theme was the problem..!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BeDesireS:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION], [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]

the last update is really awesome! Never was so happy with my hammerhead before!

This rom is smooth like hell and the chroma features fit my personal needs perfectly.

Lots of needfull stuff but not all the features that are flying around! Just a perfect combination!

Keep it on guys! Really impressive work that you both are doing here! :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] diddly3000:
Push bullet is awesome lol.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] frikakwa:
I have the same "issue" on mine when using LightMIUI (the dev is aware of it!) but Elixium is working fine!

My workaround: I've applied all the layers of lightMIUI unless the settings_overlay that I replaced by the one from Elixium! ;)

Thanks to [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] fr this incredible rom: so snappy and so battery friendly (coupled with Blue_Code)! :good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] djind:
Would you consider adding 2 features/changes to your ROM?

1. Quick unlock

2. Remove shadow from heads up notification.

I am looking for a new ROM to install, because stock is just horrible after the update to 5.1 for me. Very bad battery life, flashed from stock google image.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] shadowdevil:
Yea some Layers are working great : eg : Prime Dark Green..:)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
I can add that in with the modified kernel I don't really compile for Nexus 5 so it's up to [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] to add it. I only built for Nexus 5 to spread chroma to other devices while he was on break.

Tell your themer to update his or her theme. Layers has been updated to 2.1 on the rom except 1 part. They're all backwards compatible anyways.

Glad to hear that the blind build worked well.

Glad to see non nexus 6 users using it too :D

1. Its already in the rom

2. Nope
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lostboy2909:
Can someone link me to the last build of 5.0.2 please? Thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Calvin2394:
Nice to know you'd do it.

I guess there's a lot of work for Syko when he returns :p

No pressure, development is best when made a hobby and done in free time ONLY.

Today's update running fine on my n5. I use modified Gryffindor layers and no issues. On Code Blue. Yesterday's SOT:

Edit: I do have 1 layer (contacts) where text turned from white to black, only when favorites is selected. Odd that everything else is the same as previous build.

There isn't a chroma 5.0.2 build, only for shamu.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Fabiceju:
Hi [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] . Fist of all, thanks for developing and sharing this awesome ROM. Great battery life with the Franco kernel backed into the ROM, all is smooth and STABLE. If you can, I have a little request that I think can be very useful: can you add the tile for switch network type (e.g. from LTE to 2G) ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drmidoo:
using this one as my daily driver now, it's amazing

blazing fast and stable ;)

amazing job thanks for your effort i hope updates keep going at least until i get a nexus 6 ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] zephiK:
Most carriers nowadays are phasing out their 2g / edge towers to become lte towers so the answer to your feature request is most likely not.

It wouldn't make any sense for the nexus 6 to have a toggle like this as I personally don't believe in crippling a phone to 2g data to be good practices of conserving battery life.

If you really need this then I suggest looking into the play store for an app or a widget that can do this.

Chroma is a lightweight rom and I'm sure the majority of us are using lte data and adding in a tile that is utilized by very little amount or users wouldn't be good. I will however add a lte tile that will fall back on 3g in the future though but certainly not a disable lte and 3g tile.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ReMuSeR:
Im going to change this rom for one reasson :eek: im not used to roms speed and smoothnes :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
isnt there an option inbuilt in LP in settings cellular network - cellularr network settings preferred network LTE 3G or 2G ?

and no 2G won't be replaced as yet 90percent of your GSM is still on 2G yeah but EDGE might be disabled, not 3G or 2G/GSM... LTE won't be given coverage like a regular GSM frequency due to the costing...towers are upgrading to support LTE but that doesnt remove the 2g. edge or 3g frequencies. LTE switches back to GSM frequency for calls to be made and the same way as long as GSM exists EDGE exists too...

Google Maps FC

Google Maps is FC'ing crazily. Tried map versions 9.4, 9.6 and 9.7, all are FC'ing with stock franco and code_blue kernels. Flashed back to stock ROM coz map and navigation are a must. Really hate to leave this ROM :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] BeDesireS:

How does one reproduce this problem? Give me step by step instructions, I only have a shamu so I'll have to reproduce your problem on there.

Also you're not running the newest and latest Chroma version, which is 04/14.

Out of bandwidth to download latest version, can only do after 16th :silly:

I'm simply trying to open the app, sometimes it is not opening and sometimes it opens but when I touch the blue icon at the bottom right to find the location it throws error.

I've attached couple of more screengrabs from catlog, i know it is not a proper way, but please have a look at it and tell me whether further detailed logcat needed on that.

Edit 1: Got the same error with wifey's N4 too (Also running Chroma latest with Franco-SM kernel, BTW). But it runs okay now after throwing error few times.

Edit 2: I was running journaling off, but now I've tried with journaling on, still the same issue.

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] I'm gonna sleep now. Planning to flash both N4 and N5 to stock in the morning.

I can keep Chroma in N5 if you insist for debugging, but will flash stock in N4 for sure coz maps/navigation is must as we are travelling.

Please let me know if you need anything on this or let me know what i'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your help bro.:good:

Maps is also working fine here.

The change of dpi can make it FC, it's a well known issue... I'd suggest to just clean flash the rom and gapps... then try to launch maps! This should work as expected! ;)

i too got some maps fcs.

switching to "high accuracy" waiting opening app solved the problem for me. (didn't work with any other setting)

now i can open it even with disabled location service. (so high setting was only needed for the first start)

One question for me, Is it possible to add DT2W for hammerhead? Thx

I know I can simply flash code_blue for this. But if you can add it on Franco's, that would be awesome. Thx again for this great Rom.

You'd have to ask [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] to include it with the Franco Kernel it as he's building for hammerhead.

A general question: is wiping Dalvik still a necessity?

Isn't Lollipop working only on ART? Dalvik is still here?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] lenaourg:
Hi

The 2015-04-10 chroma rom was smoother than the last one...

Thanks for this great rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
That Dalvik Cache is now practically the ART cache generated while app is installed. The name isn't changed in TWRP to look it familiar maybe.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AA1973:
Have a look at data/dalvik-cache/arm. ART uses the same partition (or folder) as it was used prior to Lollipop.

Chainfire released an app calles FlashFire which states to "wipe dalvik" but defines it more precisely as "wipe all compiled/optimized Dalvik/ART data".

So, same location, hence you can wipe dalvik in recovery although you're wiping ART data. ;)
