The stock kernel doesn't have init.d support bro. And it really sucks that he's leaving, I wonder why? :/

---------- Post added at 02:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Can you list the steps needed to change to f2fs please?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
[MENTION=4940688]icu64[/MENTION] It's pretty simple. Just follow my guide(you will understand everything)

First of all, backup your pictures, music, backups and files since converting your /data partition from ext4 to f2fs will delete all those files.

Then go here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46223393&postcount=2 and download the "Modified recovery (based on TWRP): TWRP_multirom_mako_20150410.img" file(2nd line).

1)Boot into fastboot

2)Flash recovery by using "fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img"

3)Boot into recovery

4)Choose Wipe > Advanced wipe

5)Choose /data and then select FS Options > Change FS > F2FS

6)Choose /cache and then select FS Options > Change FS > F2FS

7)Since you converted your /data to f2fs, everything is deleted. Press the home button in recovery and go to Mount(so your PC can find your phone)

8)Copy Chroma, Gapps, SuperSu, Sabermod franco r216.2 and this file: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934553712 to your phone

9)Wipe /data, /cache and /system

10)Flash Chroma

11)Flash Gapps

12)Flash SuperSU

13)Flash the SaberMod Franco r216.2 kernel

14)Flash sykopompos' file I gave you

Ok, you are done. :p
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hmillos:
What a sad news was this, I hope everything gets better un Syko's life and he returns, he's a good member of this community.

I also want to thank zephiK for not let us down, we need ROMs like this one :) we need you.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jer_ying_fd:
Syko and Zephik are our Lords and Saviours, PRAISE TO THEM :angel:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bankai03:
Thanks my friend :) it's cool
[Nexus 4 Android Development] svnhvn:
It's sucks to hear what's going on with Syko but I'm also very happy to see a lot of you guys willing to help Zephik with this ROM. Cheers guys..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iskandar1023:
[MENTION=1225126]fr3quency[/MENTION] are f2fs gave a reasonable advantage for lollipop?

I've been converted to f2fs when kitkat, at first it feels great but after a few days, it's a mess. Ive got with the low memory notification with the same content with ext4

[Nexus 4 Android Development] mikec628:
This is the area I was talking about. The top row. Cant use it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] hamma:
No problem here.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Per app customization should already work, it does for the nexus 6 even though we're limited to only red green and blue. You have to toggle use custom values and then on the top right, you'll see a +.

If it doesnt appear then most likely there is a missing config file that syko forgot to include.

I'll have a look as syko was the one who did the device specific commits.

Privacy guard is a bloated version of Googles app ops. The rom contains app ops already. See settings > chroma

To be added in another build.

Quick settings is perfectly disabled on mines even though notifications are present. I doubt it's device specific.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iskandar1023:
No + here, i think syko miss something about that.

And i'd love to see the switch to hide persistent notification on lockscreen, it's a useful feature because i still want the notification but not on lockscreen.

posted by mako
[Nexus 4 Android Development] groovepeppy:
A bit shocked to read about what is going on lately

Big hope Syko will return to us

By the way thank you zephyk to bring in left side clock, maybe it wasn't for me but really big thank you, latest build performs very well.

Lets all pray for Syko's grandfather to get well soon.

To all Chroma Users

Anyone been able to watch Youtube from browsers?

Dunno why but 2 latest Chroma build aren't working for me, haven't checked previous built, pardon me

#InTheMoodyN4Moment
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
I'll have a look then, should be a easy fix.

As far as that feature, maybe. I'll add it in and see the feature for myself when I have the time and see whether or not I like it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] iskandar1023:
Thank you, but didn't want to push you as this is your rom, your taste.

If you don't like it, abandon it [emoji6]

posted by mako
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yaymalaga:
Maybe is just my problem, It happens when you expand a notification in lockscreen, and then the clock dissappear, after that if you try to open quicksettins, it will be shown.

I have a little question, why do you have your manifest as a private project (just being curious)?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
It's not required to share the manifest with others.

Personally for me, Chroma is my first custom ROM that I've ever worked on and it took me several days of reading up on how it all works so I don't think it's fair for someone to create a new custom ROM and then base the ROM off of Chroma and then remove the contents of the ROM (e.g. donator list built into the ROM). In a way, I guess you can say that Chroma is my "baby" and I want to be ensured of it's quality before releasing -- at least when I'm the one releasing it for that particular device.

But regardless, next build should have the led fixed. So yeah, the boolean was missing, https://github.com/Chroma-Aosp/andr...mmit/eeb8cd5b0a14a6d4880aa2a579083a5112b99627
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yaymalaga:
Yeah, I see your point here, but for example, I really want to compile your rom to test different toolchains for example, so should I add your projects of your github to another manifest like Frank from Skyo, right?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Compiling Chroma without my permission is not allowed, it is but I will be pretty upset if someone did and will most likely report the thread. I don't mean to come off as rude but I've invested a lot of time into Chroma and I don't want people reproducing what I've worked on and then do changes that goes against the core philosophy of the ROM.

The philosophy of Chroma is important to me, I take pride in what I release to the public. gcc and ext4 is what I go by, I don't believe in the f2fs, linaro/ubertc/etc hype. I go by what Google uses, performance is something that Chroma isn't lacking in. There's no point in deriving away from what Google uses, if it was so great then Google would be using that as default. Stability, performance and battery life is what is important to me and I don't plan on using experimental stuff or without proper testing that actually shows that there are significant benefits.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] tonyking:
Sorry guys I m late for the party to enjoy new update due to my busy schedule and also hard for me to go through all page please let me know is there a way to flash custom kernel on this current update as dev already cleared not to flash any kernel please help me :o
[Nexus 4 Android Development] weaselskhs:
Syko was the greatest dev and I am happy to have been able to use his ROM's. He really did care about his work and I hope that he does come back. Also I hope this ROM continues to be what it has become without him as those are some darn big shoes to fill. G/L Syko on what ever you chose to do.......:crying:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
You can flash other kernels, you'd just lose the sepolicy changes that he made. Syko made a flashable zip for N6, not sure about the other devices.

It's not the end of the world if you use a custom kernel.

Chroma will continue, Syko just told me that he'll be back within a week but ultimately he can take as long as he needs to feel more relaxed :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HdSht:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] since you are here I'd like to know 1 thing from you. This is not a feature request, it's just curiosity: since your rom ships with a custom kernel, why no native init.d support to allow users tweak ?:confused:

Ty in advance and a bigger thanks for your work.:good:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] vampire36:
Actually for N4 its not much of an issue...as most kernels are anykernel format here...

So use such kernel should be fine :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] yaymalaga:
Okey then, I understand what you mean, so by sure, if in the future I want to compile the rom, I will obviously ask you first (I would be very pleased if you let me)

By the way here is the commit to fix what I told you about quicksettings in lockscreen (They are to commit, but the second is something they forgot to add in the first commit):

https://github.com/Altaf-Mahdi/android_frameworks_base/commit/d394ea2cde58e74171dc9fc50433fc05b1ec6d75

https://github.com/Altaf-Mahdi/android_frameworks_base/commit/64f9991555acca821c8f58858bf99447e9708689

I already saw your frameworks/base code and you are missing this. The commits are from Euphoria rom, android 5.1
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Init.d support is a bit outdated nowadays.

Thanks I'll add this in. I get lost on what to add/remove after I add the originating commits.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NooBs7yL3:
There is a way to make mipop working in this rom? I found it more useful than pie control (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2936006)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] HdSht:
I apologize but I've after read the post I still don't get how am I supposed to run scripts if init.d is not implemented ? I know little of android and java bun I'm not experienced in linux stuff.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Kilroy.:
Real shame, this... Just recently got my n4, chroma was the first ROM I tried, absolutely awesome piece of work [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]

Also really great user support (the best I've seen after having five devices on this forum). But of course, real life comes first.

Many thanks to both devs for this amazing ROM!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] manudroide:
I use greenify but with this rom a popup say that there is some killing app like stamina mode. Battery saving set disabled.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
What scripts are you trying to run? Alternatively, if you really need init.d you can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androguide.universal.init.d

Chroma will still be around, it's not going anywhere.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] GAntiLight:
Does anyone else feel like this rom needs to have some kind of gesture consume for the bottom? When I have the navigation bar hidden, trying to pull it up again scrolls up whatever's behind
[Nexus 4 Android Development] svnhvn:
Those modified TWRP is causing bootloop in my device.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] justingriff:
Anyone else having issues with Maps FC-ing? I also had System UI FC when my battery was almost dead.

Sorry if this has been addressed. I haven't had time to search. Love the ROM overall, though! Sad syko won't be involved for a while.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] dntevnlft:
I had the Maps FC'ing issue....did a clean flash and it seems to have fixed it. I've been trying to make it FC but can't.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:

Twrp is broken for 2 versions now, not only the modified ones, you can't even sideload
[Nexus 4 Android Development] groovepeppy:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] ebsbow:
Yes. Using firefox starts youtube app.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] groovepeppy:
i mean using the browser itself, wether the default browser or Chrome, it shows only a blackscreen for me
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fr3quency:
That doesn't make any sense. Let's say it is indeed broken(I didn't have any problems apart from MTP not working due to the USB ID in the init.rc file being wrong), it isn't possible for a recovery to cause bootloop. What's more, I'm using the modified version right now. Furthermore, I'm even on F2FS for /data and /cache(it doesn't make sense to state F2FS, but then again neither do your comments)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ebsbow:
Ones you install youtube it will work in the browser aswell. Without it is indeed noneworking

I only have Firefox installed.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zinken:
I have the same, although I'm on Frank 16. Can't watch YouTube in browser, just pitch black.

Hi guys, i'm using the last version of this rom (10/4), but i'm facing random reboots. Is this problem known or maybe is it a kernel problem (In my case hellscore b70 with 112500mv of undervolting)?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NooBs7yL3:
It's a know issue of all 5.1 roms, the reboots come expecially when charging the phone
[Nexus 4 Android Development] elliot2112:
I use the stock kernel and never have reboots.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] jer_ying_fd:
I tried mirage and hell's doctor and some others, also no reboots.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] svnhvn:
The usual command (in fact my command just as same as yours). Hell, i even cannot flashing back to stock recovery. My remedy was flashing factory image and format user data.

And just because you don't experience it doesn't mean that was "doesn't make sense" sir.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] NooBs7yL3:
I use stock too
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Spike`:
had 2 reboots yesterday, the phone was just in my pocket idling

not many apps installed and using stock kernel
[Nexus 4 Android Development] weaselskhs:
I have not had any reboots either running the 4/10 version and also HC B70 kernel. I know this as I run pandora all day long and even plugging into charge and unplugging from charging no reboots.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] chealsearock:
I've had about four to five reboots over the last couple of says on stock kernel and no messing with settings for kernel.

it's known issue, i'm talking to an asus owner right now and he also have broken sideload and flashing on 2.8

thanks for the great rom

can u make the Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch to use it with multirom

and there is crash on the keyboard and Facebook Messenger FC
[Nexus 4 Android Development] quentin2260:
Amazing ROM ! I just switched from SimpleAOSP. Thanks dev. Maybe stupid question but Chroma is mix of 5.0.2 and 5.1 or full 5.1 ? Then when new update will be released ? Thanks
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Sierra35:
Never ASK for ETA......
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Chroma is full 5.1. Next update comes out whenever it's ready. I do this in my spare time and I have to compile for devices other than my own now that syko is on a hiatus.

Bare with me and just enjoy with what you have now.

I don't compile for mako but I'll be sure to add it so that it's included in the next build if it isn't already included.

As far as your crashes, that's on your end. Not the rom and also you didn't properly follow the guidelines for a bug report even though this isn't a bug with the rom.

I recommend re installing the app.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] ferrocene:
My phone is basically stuck every morning when I take it off the charger. The notification light is blinking but the screen won't turn on. I have to force restart/hold the power button. Has happened with all lollipop ROMs. I use the induction charger (qi?)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] coffeecore:
Weird to see some people getting reboots and some not.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Dor-b:
I saw on previous posts that a solution for the reboots is flashing sabermod Franco kernel, I must say that I had random reboots on stock kernel as well.

Last night I've flashed hellsdoc kernel and changed the i/o scheduler to flops,ever since no sings of random reboots.

Just wanted to share another solution.

Edit: just had a reboot, damn you Murphy

BTW, I haven't had any reboot with last 04/10 neither with 04/09, so maybe i've been really lucky?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Thanks. Regardless, I'll probably wait for Franco to update his kernel to 5.1 properly and then compile based off that when I do a mako build (or Syko can compile for me).

Syko, perfect timing for break, have a pint on me,don't let this new google distract you :eek:

I'd like to report a bug, I don't know if anyone has reported it or not, I'm currently using build "chroma_mako-ota-2015-04-09.zip" its awesome but whenever I try to pin an app it shows an error "SystemUI" crashed.

I should tell you guys that I dirty flashed the last build so may be thats causing the issue.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Use the kernel supplied with the ROM or a kernel that contains the torch in service_contexts. Tell your kernel developer to include it.

https://github.com/franciscofranco/ramdisk_shamu/commit/03ad5b1f2758fdc6c7d25c3d3b52646169f77d11 is what they'd need to include (not all of it but just torch in service contexts) ... and of course the repo is shamu but the concept of having torch as a service_context is the same.

file: service_contexts
torch u:object_r:system_server_service:s0
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KhanZeeshan:
I'm not using any custom kernel. I'm using the default kernel included in the ROM.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Oh you said pin app, I thought you meant when you boot up. I'm not sure people have been mentioning that but I haven't had the chance to have a look into it as I personally don't use pin app or care much for it.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60070707&postcount=12252 similar to that?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] KhanZeeshan:
Sure duplication steps are very easy,

1. Open any app

2. Tap "Recent App" button

3. When PIN appears, Tap it, It'll crash.

One more thing, If you do the above steps 3-4 quickly, It'll change the wallpaper to ROM's default Chroma Wallpaper.

Yeah I got it. It's the same thing posted in the Nexus 6 forums. I just patched it up, should be fixed in the next build.

With your latest additions ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
Ahh, I will add them. Sorry for being late on them and not meeting the deadline, maybe we can collaborate and I can let you know in advance so I can get your translations ahead of time and then have them added in the official build. I was originally going to wait a bit longer but I wanted to get a build with LMY47O out.

The good news is that I can blind build for any device, missing some vendor files from syko but I'll obtain those sometime.

Once franco kernel is updated for 5.1 ill build for mako.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] bankai03:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION]

No worries about the collaboration, I would be the happiest of translators ^^

I'm still waiting for Franco Kernel to be updated for 5.1 that way I can release a mako build with a proper 5.1 kernel and not a hacked one to work on 5.1.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] supersomething:
hey guys,

been 2 days using the 2015-04-05 build then it gives me random reboots. just now dirty flashed the 2015-04-10 build. looks good for now.

only 2 things bothering me.

1. play store still doesn't load any images even after i wiped cache and stopped the services, restarted it...

2. i can't seem to assign a profile picture for my phone. it just won't load the picture after i selected it. pretty cool if i can do that

Thanks and keep up the good work.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] zephiK:
1. Loads fine here.

2. Should work if you use the stock kernel with the ROM, there was a way to workaround it with the sepolicy fixes. I forget what the workaround was, if you go to the Nexus 6 thread and search you can find the solution to there.

Random reboots should be fixed when the kernel is properly updated to a 5.1 kernel instead of a hacked one to work on 5.1.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] deedeeceleb:
Isn't it a bad idea to include Franco kernel on mako because it includes the ramdisk changes of Franco. So nearly all other kernels here are anykernels, so I could imagine some problems with the old ramdisk when you flash any other kernel.
