Clean flashed yesterday's night (coming from Chroma 5.1) and let the phone alone during the night to download backup from Google servers, so far it's going good and smooth, will post about battery in a couple of days.

Just a question, since I'm really bad finding buttons and options, there isn't quick unlock in this rom, is it?

Thank you so much zephiK

Feedback on Nov 1 build

AOSP keyboard is not there. In fact whenever i use any application which requires input, no keyboard comes up. Only google voice typing

Things i would like to see (as was there in lollipop build):--

1) ability to configure notification drawer

2) navigation ring with targets

3) notification tiles that we had gotten used to :P

4) three finger gesture to take screenshot is not working

5) ability to use a comprehensive gapps package (i relied on tkgapps nano version, but currently doing with txuki gapps pico version)

6) gapps if flashed right after ROM and then system allowed first boot then no problem. if done like flash rom>boot system>flash gapps>boot system then i am getting "force closes"

These are strictly to be interpreted as feedback. I know [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] will include them slowly but surely.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mb88_peace:
Guys, I'd really appreciate your attention. Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
The dev would really appreciate your attention to the changelog.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bigb1234:
This 6.0 is miles better.[emoji18]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Read the changelog.

What are you talking about?

Because having a dialer is better than having voice assist in which I never ever use.

Use the GApps that I specifically mentioned and don't be a rebel flashing txuki gapps.

Only Banks gapps are supported.

Also, TK Gapps aren't even updated for Marshmallow.

Txuki gapps include above and beyond stuff in his gapps that mess up the configuration of Chroma when I test it.

Gapps

Plz give me banks gapps mirror....

[Nexus 4 Android Development] skyungjae:
Getting better and better with each update. I'm loving the current build.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] txuki2005:
ok, man, you are bad :laugh:

In next version, i will deleted sounds and bootanimation.....:good:

But i tested today your rom and all go fine with pico.... :cyclops:

thanks!!

updated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] djsubterrain:
Yeah, been using your gapps all along and no problems at all, pico is much appreciated though, personally think all gapps should be minimum cos the play store will download the rest after install.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] txuki2005:
Yes your are right.

I will make new package (not pico) another ones with minor intrusive apps.

I noticed that if i delete from my gapps google app, setup wizard become with fcs.... is it mandatory now??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] memi_pt:
I flashed it! after boot everything dont work!

this notice :unfortunately setup wizard has stopped
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TPWarrior:
Did you flash the 6.0 GApps? Either way if you try again - with the correct GApps- after a clean flash (and the kernel packaged with Chroma), you should be successful. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jpde:
Fwiw, I'm still having occasional gapps process crashes (like once a day).

For the install, I followed this guide:

That was a clean flash of the 11/28 build with the banks gapps from the OP (BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15.zip). No custom kernel or anything, not even a custom boot animation. Then I dirty flashed the 11/1 build over it. Also haven't done anything out of the ordinary in terms of customization etc.

As far as I know, you have to do a wipe when changing gapps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TPWarrior:
Interesting... Is it a particular app that's crashing or is it random?

Are all your app Permissions set properly? Did you change any settings in Developers Options? Do you have any 3rd party apps running to help battery life or kill background processes? Any Layers added?

If none of that you might want to post a log of the crash/errors.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Flyin18T:
How do you disable the Google Search Bar in this version? Don't see the option available as it was in previous versions. Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] mb88_peace:
Thank you for your intellectual posterior answer; Can I get your feedback on its performance on this Rom? Do me a favor and put it in an illiterate sense this time! ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
I'll forgive you as it appears English is not your native language. Either try Chroma or don't. I've already pointed you toward where you can find the answer to your original query.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xX NeOnShK Xx:
Flashed the latest build with txuki gapps 29-10. No problems at all!! Cheers to the respective devs ?

Which kernel you use for this rom?Default or we have another, better for battery life?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] desireleß:
hellscore ist default, it is one of the best for battery. it depends more on which governor you are using. interactive for performance, conservative for battery, hellsactive for intermediate
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xda_emanuel:
I've just flashed the last build and the default kernel is from callmealdy not hellscore.

Anyway thanks to the dev , this is the best snappy marshamallow rom for n4. Trust me
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TPWarrior:
As [MENTION=4559515]xda_emanuel[/MENTION] noted below, the default kernel is from CallMeAldy. For stability's sake, I just leave the kernel alone. But that's just my personal preference.

My latest battery stats from Monday were 5 hours 11 minutes SOT when operating my phone from 100% to 5% with moderate usage - probably 50-60 minutes of YouTube and 4 hours of Chrome and a few short calls. The battery only has so much capacity. Through tweeks, you can only squeeze so much extra SOT out of it. Of course, your mileage may vary.

No, Hellscore is not default. Are you even running Marshmallow or Chroma? Your signature says stock 5.1.1 :confused:

Thanks for confirming I'm not crazy! ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] suarez1907:
Which do you use Kernel? And what is your battery capacity?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Rebel_3:
Which version of TWRP is better for this M version? :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sachin.soman:
My point was with L 8 hour idle test Google Play services "Wakeups: 8 (0.9 / h)". However with M this is 3.7, with is huge bump. I am not sure doze is optimised to work with Mako. I have checked the stats of users in BBS thread all have huge wakelocks with Google Play. I am not sure how people can get 3-4 hrs of SOT with such huge alarms.

Tapped from my marshmako
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Brodel:
I have tried these steps several times and it just doesn't seem to work for me. Am I doing something wrong?

Wipe cache, dalvik, data, system. Flash latest Chroma. Reboot to Recovery. Flash latest Banks 6.0 Gapps. Wipe cache/dalvik. Reboot to Recovery. Reboot System.

I get through the setup screens for Marshmallow but none of the gapps seem to be installed. I just have calculator, contacts, downloads, gallery, google, phone, settings, sim tool kit and voice search in my apps list. I tried downloading gmail which worked but play store crashed shortly afterwards. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Rock-86:
1. Wipe Dalvik, Cache, Data, System

2. Flash Chroma

3. Flash Banks 6.0 Gapps

4. Reboot to System

Zero issues for me. I am using the latest version of TWRP Recovery (2.8.7): https://dl.twrp.me/mako/twrp-2.8.7.0-mako.img
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
Do not reboot between installing ROM and Gapps. It is a single process. Wipe, flash ROM and Gapps and reboot.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] veryjiggy:
Can I ask do you have the following :

a) Google Fit installed and activated on your phone?

b) Location services on?

c) Google Now on?

5 hrs SOT is insanely good. I get nowhere near that. I do not even get 2 hours to be honest. Have to charge my phone mid day. Although my phone is much much faster with this ROM, I haven't really noticed any battery improvements over Lollipop. So was just curious.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] VidalKing:
I'm really sorry,

I always read the changelog, and maybe this was the only time I did not, because I posted the same question about 2 weeks ago with no response.

My fault, sorry and thanks again for your answers!! :highfive:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Brodel:
Thanks, I have tried that too but had the same issue. I added the zip to the list in TWRP. Should I have just flashed them individually rather than using that method?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
That should not be an issue. But I flashed the ROM zip first and then separately flashed the Gapps (without reboot). Try this also. Also no wipe after flashing. See the OP which is clear.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
They're still small, Banks just includes the gapps for other architectures in 1 zip.

The latest one.

I have to maintain a G+ community, three threads (and soon 5 threads), a personal life, as well as work on the actual ROM.

Chroma is a one man job and I don't have a team behind me to help me do it nor do I want a team.

I try my best to reply to everybody but sometimes I just can't :)

Already aware of it, and already merged. I just need to test it before I release it as there are A LOT of changes and I don't want to release something that doesn't work and/or is broken.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Brodel:
Thanks again. I tried that method but still no luck. When I flash them, the first boot says optimizing app XX of 69, should there be more than that? I don't import any previous data and set the phone up as new fwiw.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
I don't remember the exact number of the Apps but I am sure that it is somewhere around that number. If you reach optimising, then what happens? Normally the boot completes.

Bank's Gapps is not the full set. It will have only the minimal Apps. You will have to download whatever you want from the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Brodel:
It starts Marshmallow with the screen where you select the language, connect to wifi, sign into your google account etc.

The only icons on the homepage once it loads are phone, contacts and launcher icon. There are two blank spaces to the right of the launcher icon. When I launch the app draw there are 10 apps (no gmail, camera, clock, calendar etc).
[Nexus 4 Android Development] therealsniper69:
Gmail, camera, clock, text messenging program etc. can all be downloaded from the play store. Also depending on your settings you can go into the playstore and download the apps you have had installed in the past (assuming you're using the same sign in as before).

Having the gapps like this allows the user to choose what they want to use instead of having apps installed that the user might not want. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] VidalKing:
mine would not be a justification...We can only thank you for all the work you do!

Fantastic :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manpildo:
Well, at least for me doze for play services is unavailable.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
Then you have successfully installed the ROM and Gapps. Go ahead and download whatever else you want from the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Brodel:
Oh, my bad. I thought gapps meant it included things like calendar etc. Thanks again for your help.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TNSMANI:
That is by design, not only for you. Not only that but most of Google stuff will work during Doze.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KhanZeeshan:
Can anyone tell me how to install Layers on This ROM or send me the link where BitSyko or Zephik have written the step. I tried using Layer-Manager App but it gives the following message on all layers I checked "Not Compatible with version of OS, will cause Bootloops"
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
It's optimizing system and gapps apps.

Google doesn't let you doze play services. Otherwise a lot of google applications wouldn't work properly.

The ROM already locks the receivers of Google Play Services to prevent any wakelocks from Play Services. I've mentioned this multiple times already.

Depending on what gapps you use, it may or may not include it. The recommended gapps doesn't include them because I believe in simplicity. You can just get them from the play store.

Plus it requires less maintenance since the gapps won't need to be updated every time the included apps are updated (gmail, maps, calendar).

And if you flashed a older gapps, you have to update the apps via play store anyways. Plus it gives users more control of which gapps they want.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manpildo:
I think some of you misunderstood the point of my post. It was not a bug report or anything such. It should be looked in the context with the sachin.soman post I quoted. He thought doze was not optimized for mako due to increase in play services wakelocks, and I provided my 2 cents with a screenshot by showing that play services is not dozable. That's it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TPWarrior:
To answer your questions: No. No. Yes.

Almost all my settings are geared to maximize battery life. No location services. No LTE radio. Any apps that constantly run (social media, etc.) are deleted. Apps updated only over WiFi and when plugged in. Same with photo/video backups. Screen brightness usually set to about 20%- and lower at night.

I'm probably not going to get that much SoT every time. But I try to make it last as much as possible. Hope that helps.:)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Michaelmania:
After using for 2 days, I can confirm this: with 11/01/2015 build calendar sync is not working. Also the keyboard is missing. I have logs ready. Will share if asked.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tmfz:
I use hellscore and I was actually just wondering where hellsactive stood compared to conservative. Thanks for the info.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] mb88_peace:
I'm sorry if I offended you in anyway; I just found a negativity in your yet useful answer which led me to my smart-ass answer.

Nevertheless, thank you, and on a complete irrelevant level, I'll appreciate it if you point out my language deficiency in a personal message.

Cheers.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] giulpip:
Reporting an issue with swiftkey (but i think is the same with aosp): randomly i cant input the char, the keyboard reply magnifing the char pressed, but no input in the program that is used. To get te functionallity back, ive to go back home and open the app again
[Nexus 4 Android Development] epicoftimewasted:
Sorry for the cross-post here and in the Q&A section, but I didn't actually have enough posts on my account to post here directly.

There seems to be a bug in the screen security handling that causes the screen to show up in the recents list, instead of a blank screen as intended.

The backstory: I used to use Minimal OS, and everything worked as expected there. Today, I switched back to Chroma. To do so I wiped everything excluding internal storage, then flashed Chroma (11/01/2015), then latest Banks gapps (same as I was using on Minimal), then rebooted into the OS. Everything installed and is running fine, and I did NOT restore any system app data. This is as fresh of an install as can be.

How to reproduce the issue: Open an app that uses screen security. While it's running in the foreground, turn the screen off. When you turn the screen back on, the contents of the app will show up in the recents list (not as expected). Meanwhile, if you open the app, go back to the home screen, turn the screen off then on again, the contents of the app will NOT show up in the recents list (as expected).

[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] have you seen this? https://github.com/krexus/frameworks_base/commit/c6399873d852edbc1c6f44084f511bc8965624a6
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Flyin18T:
Why would anyone want the search bar in the Recents menu anyway? How do I remove the Google search bar from my main home screen? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TPWarrior:
I think you've confused what that conversation was about. The original question was about getting rid of the *status* bar display on the Recents screen. It evolved to zephiK explaining how to get rid of the *search* bar display on the Recents screen. Then [MENTION=5124760]yochananmarqos[/MENTION] explained to you how to do just that (by UNchecking the option in settings).

If you're trying to get rid of the *search* bar from the home screen, you'll need to use a different launcher than Google Now or Launcher 3. :good:

EDIT: Looks like we were typing at the same time. Hopefully I answered your question. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Flyin18T:
Ah....my bad. Thank you for the clarification. :good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] TPWarrior:
No problem. ;) Sometimes I get the terms mixed up and get confused. One time I read "SIM" card but in my mind I was thinking "SD Card" and was trying to help somebody else. All I did was confuse everything. :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] patil.ketan:
Calendar sync not working for me either, did you get around the issue?

EDIT: I realized that calendar storage is missing, I will try installing different Gapps.

EDIT 2 : Installing latest Gapps from txuki does not solve the problem.... :(

EDIT 3: Fixed this by installing GAPPS from http://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368 I think the calendar sync addon did the trick.

I'm using chroma rom with hell's core kernel b87 m, I saw that on kernel apps as kernel tools or kernel audiutor, these show 2 core offline: why? Does it depends from the kernel?

By default, in HellsCore, the other cores will kick in when system load reaches 80% (see hotplug settings).

Does anyone have any problems with lightflow working? My LED works but my lightflow settings don't. It has access to notifications but when I test it nothing happens. This is with imported settings that I was using on Lollipop without any problems. I have tried running the tests with the notification light turned on and off in the general system settings, but that doesn't make a difference. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ttheodorou:
just try to work with the built in led settings to see if it is a rom problem or a light flow problelm. if this work then bad luck mate...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ermacwins:
Is your new gapps coimg soon?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ttheodorou:
i found a problem with the new version. for me 3g was not working. the phone would not switch to 3g no matter what i did. in the previous version everything was ok. i reflashed modem radio and the problem is fixed.

i am reporting it because it is strange. the radio should be the same as the older version...

except that the new m version is a work of art. as always thanx for this great rom!!

P.S. i just flashed the rom and i have no custom kernel. i used to flash franco but it has no android m version. i am thinking of ak kernel. does it has better battery life than chroma stock kernel? is there another recommendation for battery life without compromising performance or should i stay on chroma stock?

thanx in advance
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Benjamin_L:
Just asking to be sure. Is your apn configured correctly?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manpildo:
Yeah, I also had to configure APN manually.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] xda_emanuel:
Stock kernel of last build is already the ak kernel.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ttheodorou:
i assume it is. i never messed with apn and when i flashed the latest radio it was fixed (and as far as i know radios don't contain apn but i may be wrong here???) plus i never had any problem with apn and chroma in previous builds. btw any good aplication to backup apn?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Mechanisms:
Hi,

Is anyone having problems with LED notifications?

I cannot get it working for some apps (for example Google Keep) but I have it working perfectly for others (Inbox, Calendar, WhatsApp, Hangouts). That's why I think it's an app related issue but I was wondering if someone has the same problem and maybe a way to fix it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Cifu:
Hoi!

I know it's a lame question, but there is a way for at least temporally disable the SuperSU in Chroma? So basically to unroot the phone.

The reason for the lame question is even more lame: a web-bank application refuse to run in rooted android.

We try to force-stop the SuperSU, but seems to be it's not worked. There is any chance to solve this problem or have to change for a vanilla N4 ROM / non-pre rooted custom ROM?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Why don't you go to Settings > SuperSU > Enable Superuser ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Cifu:
The noted phone reacted for this an error message, saying the uninstall failed, and the SuperSU remain running whatever we do.

Now i trying in my phone, and in there this solution worked flawlessly. So it seems to be the that phone have some problem with the Chroma / Gapps installation or an app preventing the SuperSU to stop.

Thanks for the inspiration anyway! :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PVL_93_RU:
Hey [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] I noticed that currently the Chroma settings aren't translated in Russian unlike the rest of the OS. How can we contribute to the ROM to help translate it?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yochananmarqos:
See the bottom of Post #2.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
+1 to what [MENTION=5124760]yochananmarqos[/MENTION] said.

I'm not accepting translations at this time as I want to focus on the ROM. I don't want to commit to working on people's submitted translations at this time.

And as everybody else, is there a reason why you're not using BaNkS GApps? I see numerous pages of people having GApps problem but then they're not using the one I specifically mention to use in the instructions?
