I'm ready to jump ship just waiting for the next build with the camera fix
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gharrrrrr:
Cool. Thanks for telling us? Really helps with the development.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Pollie81:
You're having a bad day? [emoji6]

OT is allowed here, same as in Syko's topic.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] gharrrrrr:
In having a wonderful day. That isn't OT. That is an attempt at forcing some kind of update. We all know the Devs are working in the fix. Announcing "I'm leaving", like a child, doesn't help the problem. And isn't even decent OT. This is still a development thread. With good OT. Not that negativity. " I'm leaving". Cool. Good buy. Don't let door hit ya in the way out.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Pollie81:
Maybe I misunderstood but I think he's saying he's ready to come aboard and become a chroma user but most likely he wants to use Franco which isn't possible yet.. I wouldn't make a big deal of it but hey, that's up to you.. I'd rather read a comment like this then the hundreds of the same questions which are all ready answered a thousand times or explained in OP.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] luishr:
Even if gharrrrrr misunderstood he does have a point.

I also don't see much use on this kind of comment made by ermacwins... If he does want to use the ROM it is fine, if he doesn't and wants to wait a new build it is fine too. There is no need for a "announcement" like that.

It seems more as a "nice attempt" of getting a ETA or more info on a new build. It is a way to nicely push the Dev, even if is not the objective.

It is just the kind of thing that may annoy some of the thread participants and followers, but hey it is not a big deal like you said, but I can understand gharrrrrr annoyance on this kind of post.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ebsbow:
Flash the rom and use other kernel, bang, camera.

Magic.

Welcome to XDA ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
That's not off-topic, thats derailing the thread.

I or Syko don't get paid for this, we don't owe you anything. If you have a problem with the ROM that makes you unable to use it with a particular kernel, then use another ROM. Chroma is mainly a Nexus 6 ROM so thats where all of my attention goes towards to. I have yet received a logcat of the "cannot connect to camera" problem.

Syko will fix it when he has the chance and thats the end of that. I didn't have to compile for mako and could have dropped support when Syko left.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Pollie81:
are you serious? why are you quoting me?

i'm not the one that is complaining, i'm a very satisfied user of chroma sinds the day it was released for mako.

ermacwins made a comment which gharrrrr didn't like, i simply interpreted his comment differently i think. that's all!

i'm sorry for speaking out loud..

:confused:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] slickw:
I think maybe you should drop support,its doing no one any good to have bugs that wont get fixed or cared for(im not talking about kernel) ,as time goes by only new bugs will emerge that will annoy even more people,and as u said earlier you are only blind compiling and u dont rly give a Fck if it works or not.

Great respect for an awesome rom but sadly only for nexus 6 as u said so yourself.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HiM@L:
what bugs are u guys talking abt.....the only one i read of is abt camera related to franco kernel....after Syko properly merges the fixes it sudnt be a problem too......

i use this with semaphore and theres nothing i can complain abt.

u guys really need to be stop being picky.

I have tried many times to compile/build ROM by myself and its not a piece of cake....

respect the time and effort dev have put into it....

PEACE.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
Isn't it because we are picky that we are on xda? :p
[Nexus 4 Android Development] luishr:
Wow... Is this really necessary?

As far as the so called bugs I can't say I have them, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

As far as the annoyed people from old and new bugs they find, there is a thing called choice and they can use it to flash another ROM (there are plenty of options) if they are not happy with it. At least that is what I do, it is a single thing really:

Happy = keep using the ROM

Unhappy = change ROM

I just don't think it is fair for me and a lot of other users loose support from a great ROM because some are unhappy and don't want to change (laziness perhaps).

And as far as I can see, a lot of the complaints are because people want to use their preferred kernel with the ROM and this is causing some issues, not really ROM issues itself.

So I am really sorry, but I'll disagree with you and I hope this ROM keed being supported.

Best regards :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ebsbow:
Is that what whinning looks like?

If you can't work with it, go stock.

Camera Force Close Error Level Catlog

Here's the logcat you requested.

I'm not sure what to take out since you wanted a trim cut [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION]

~400 lines

Just booted up my Nexus 4, only to grab the logcat for you and [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Just because I quoted you doesn't mean I'm referring to you. It's just the post that I was building on top on.

No need to drop support, if you don't like the ROM or don't like how I don't properly maintain a device that I don't physically own, then use another ROM.

I'm not looking for fame in the Nexus community, I already have that in the Nexus 6 and I didn't even seek it.

You as a user can go ahead and fix the issue too, everything is available on Github and you can forward me the information and I will be more than happy to compile a test zip for you to test.

The problem is only on Franco Kernel and maybe some other kernels. Use another kernel or another ROM, there's no point coming to this thread telling me something that I'm already aware of that is a problem.

Thank you, I'll forward the information over to Syko.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NTLinhHaHa:
Many other franco-based kernels still work flawlessly ;)

My Nexus 4 now have better perf AND battery than any other Rom+kernel combo I have ever flashed. Using Chroma+Quanta (franco-based kernel), UV 150mV and even the camera works ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Alright, Chroma 05/03 is out for N5 and N6... going to release a mako one whenever this camera problem is fixed.

No ETAs, if it takes too long I'll just release it "as is."
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ferrocene:
Can't wait. Never had a camera problem, not sure what these other nerds are doing wrong [emoji1]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NTLinhHaHa:
Ah by the way, I can't change the user photo. I flashed quanta right after installing rom in recovery, and after that I flashed the zip file at the first post, after all of that I booted the rom for the first time. I'll try to flash the zip again right now, but until now I cannot change the profile picture.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] shawnbrennan55:
I've had that issue on several custom Lollipop ROMs on different devices. For a workaround you can change your photo in the contacts app and it will update your profile picture.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
They're using Franco Kernel (or any other kernel) with the issue.

I flashed a test build of Chroma 05/03 on a family member with my old N4 with Quanta and there aren't any problems.

I have a release ready but I'll wait for Syko to work on that camera problem before I push a mako update.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jolinnard:
I think that I found the issue in franco's ramdisk. Here it is a test zip.

It's in boot.img format (same as franco). I updated selinux related files and some changes in init.*.rc, so zImage is franco 217. Google camera works for me.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Could you give me the zimage? I'll preload it with the next build and then upload the next chroma build.

Excellent work again :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jolinnard:
Do you mean the boot.img? It's directly in zip I've uploaded. zImage is the same as Francisco built.

[Nexus 4 Android Development] domy88:
I have problems with Google Maps and Sygic "Unfortunately app has stopped". Why?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
O_o....... banks used to be minimal just yesterday

You're right.

Edit: It appears to be minimal still but the zip is more "universal" to other architectures (x86/arm/arm64).

Totally not necessary in my opinion as x86 custom ROM isn't even that popular (or even a thing, I don't follow x86/arm64 rom development)

arm64 makes sense, but x86...

I remirrored BaNkS' latest gapps https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952596385

It seems supersu is not getting installed?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Search the thread, update your TWRP. If you still don't have it then flash it.

Works on my N6 as well as a fresh N4 clean wipe that I've tried on.

SuperSU is in Settings > SuperSU, not in your launcher.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
Flashed latest build and immediately tested camera (as I never used Franco I had no camera problems on previous builds) out of curiosity. Camera worked fine. However I wanted to flash hellscore, and as Franco makes changes to the ramdisk it's usually best practice to return to the stock kernel before flashing another kernel. Restored stock kernel using a backup from flashify and ironically now the camera force closes. I've attached a log which is hopefully helpful. I should mention I also decided to flash the retain zip (just to basically see if it made a difference) with no luck.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzO_X-KNg-1LVW4zOFVCMG9HSkU/view?usp=sharing

I'm also assuming here it's still best practice to return to stock kernel before flashing another, when coming from Franco.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jolinnard:
You can flash this http://mirror.lnx.im/android/mako/stock/Chroma-stock-kernel-5.1.zip

It will restore stock kernel ramdisk and then you can flash the kernel you want.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HdSht:
Flashed last version, then stock kernel and Mirage over it...No problems. I'm in love with this rom :highfive:. Thank you zephyK :good:.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] andy_rose:
I had to manually flash it. Clean flashed everything once more, only this time I did not use the new banks gapps but the one before the dynamic one..and it worked. So something with his new gapps version is breaking the supersu install.

Anyway, all good now.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] steviemch:
Many thanks, all's working as it should.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Aaron_Knowles:
Seen some talk about gapps. Will echo a previous post of mine!

We're on Chroma because its minimal and just all round great.

So I've found gapps that will compliment the ROM nicely!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2943330

88mb (or so), doesn't come with google search, other download links for search, facelock, calendar sync, and also has a bloatware removal script you can download, not that you need it on Chroma, but hey, if you decide to move to another ROM. (Not that you should :D)

Its not pico small, but its still minimal and has always worked flawlessly.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NeBouse:
Slim Zero gapps (from slimroms team) are working flawlessly with Chroma too, and they are only 57Mb.

Clean flashed the latest, then flashed HD kernel and stuff.

Effect was no internal storage.. retried, same effect.

Flashed again, clean, with no additions, internal storage is white.. intact.

Anyone running HD kernel on latest Chroma?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HdSht:
Heeehh...I wonder why people do not read posts following new releases. This time Chroma shipped with franco as preinstalled kernel which has its own ramdisk tweaks. In order to run another custom kernel first you need to flash stock kernel (you can download it few posts behind) and then the 1 you want. :)

About SU, i have absolutely no problem but i always flash superSU when i flash the rom so...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] blsrbl:
I dont know why and for some weird reason, the camera suddenly started to work just fine with 25/4 release + franco r217.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NeBouse:
Might be a stupid question but is it still mandatory to flash the retain.zip if i want to use another kernel ?

i'm still on 28/04 and want to update, but get rid of franco to use Hell's Doctor.

So i'm not really sure of the steps i should follow...

Flash rom, flash stock kernel (flash retain.zip ??), then flash Hell's Doctor (flash retain.zip ??) ??

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
SuperSU should be fixed in next build, forgot to merge a second patch in the zip. Sorry about that, just flash SuperSU for the time being. I'll have a fix out soon.

Hi guys i'm facing very huge problems... After the dirty flash of the last version of this rom my N4 went crazy.. It does not recognize memories, and folders disappeared. So i tried to wipe everything but nothing, I also tried to wipe also internal storage, but still nothing. Now My pc doesn't recognise the phone and I only have the twrp mounted on it so i can't do anything. I cannot even push files with adb cause it seems that sd card. How can i solve this?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Aaron_Knowles:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60507781

Flash ROM, flash Zip linked in that link, flash kernel of your choice. No need to clean install, if you like you can wipe System/Caches, but keep Data.

Edit:

Oh, you can't even access files in recovery? That's peculiar.. My only recommendation is to see if wugfresh nexus toolkit can help you. There has to be a way of accessing your phones storage, its just going to be a pain in the arse :(

But once you do manage to get things working, make sure to flash that zip before a custom kernel if you're going to use Chroma again.

hello guys i have a sort of bug (i think). it's not something serious but it something weird.

so when i set my wifi router to channel 12 13 (2.4 ghz) the wifi needs 10 seconds to connect. when it is set on other channels no problem at all. with other devices i have not this problem so i was wondering is there anyone else that has the same problem? btw i am on the latest built with the kernel of the rom

it is not something serious i don't know even if it is rom related but i thought to ask anyway

thx for anyone that will take the time to answer me!!

P.S. great rom and getting better with every release. one of the best out there.

It means, he turned off core 3 and 4 in addition to underclocking. By doing this, there is no noticeable performance decrease as he did not play any games on phone.

If you game on phone, maybe you will need a little more performance than his settings which mainly used for power saving.
