i tried zaclimons quanta v1 (franco flo r21, anykernel version, f2fs support) on a 100% clean flash. working well so far.

formatted everything on tab, advanced formatted cache and data to f2fs, reboot to recovery, transferred flashable zips (chroma, quanta, su, gapps), flashed chroma then quanta, followed by the others. ( no first boot on stock kernel to keep f2fs intact)

F2FS is intact :victory: and I'm using kernel auditor to only disable the touch to wake screen options.

so far 4.5 hour SoT from last nights usage of the tab to remote control / push/pull files to firetv after a clean flash to the newest firetv pre-rooted rom. 40% battery remaining.

Thanks much for this excellent rom! :highfive:

I really should give the franco app a try..never used franco before chroma. Is there an acceptable alternative? I have trickster, and faux kernel app, and been using kernel auditor sparingly. Will probably end up purchasing francos app as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] grox:
Both yes and tested here!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey guyz. Saw you asked a few days back what we users thought about continuing support on flo for Chroma. Well, I'd love if you guys could continue to update the flo whenever a new feature or bug fixes are included. Chroma really has given new life to my flo with Syko's framework modifications and I honestly think it runs faster now than it ever did before. I also like using my tab now more than ever because of Chroma. Sooo, I guess I'd be happy with maybe once every other release. I don't know what do other's think of that. Would most others be happy with more, less, about what I said? Just my opinion :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jbrantley130:
Yes not every kernel is compatible with Synapse but the kernel he was asking about by arter97 is and works well with it. And yes you have to flash the Universal Kernel Manager zip or UKM for Synapse to function properly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
As a flo owner I wholeheartedly agree...but if download volumes are low what can you do?

Sad but true...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeah, I think zephik said syko is the maintainer and I do know syko IS a really busy dude, so there's that. This probably could be considered a marginal device, which has always boggled me too that all of the flo threads have always been so slow. Still love my tablet. Runs every game that I've ever tried extremely smooth without any over clocking at all and for me the screen size is perfect. Well, I guess we'll have to ultimately wait and see what they decide for the flo. [emoji85]
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Yeah...it amazes me too...I commented the other day somewhere that out of all the people I know who have android tablets, the N7 (flo) is by far the most popular (quite a few with groupers too)...

It's all very strange...?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
We're all doing this for free and its typically just a hobby for us to do ROM development. Unfortunately, we have to think of it as a business.. when you output something you expect some kind of "return." When the returns aren't meeting its expectations, then you have to invest your time and efforts into something else that gives a bigger return.

In this case, we're talking about demand for the ROM on that particular device. It has nothing to do with tablets not liking Chroma or whatever, but it's just a matter fact that Android phones are more popular than Android tablets in terms of development.

Chroma is mainly a ROM for the Nexus 6, it's what I own and it's what I personally test. I blind build for N5/N4 for the time being until Syko decides that he wants to compile for other phones. I try my best to stay involved in all of the threads but it is without doubt and is a fact that Nexus 6 (where Chroma all started) has the biggest amount of success with over 1M+ thread views and 1000+ forum posts and obtaining 3000 downloads.

I'm a student still in college doing my thing, I'm compiling from my home computer. If we actually funds, we can get a buildbot and all of that to compile builds for us but we don't. I'm not saying that we're going to get a buildbot and compile for all of the devices. Chroma has always been a side project for fun, it is still fun. I just don't want a team and I like doing things the way they are right now.

I mean sure, I can always open it up to have additional maintainers but they'd have to follow my rules and not add/remove features that I don't approve of. Chroma is something special to me and it means a lot to me, I wouldn't want someone altering the core philosophy of what I believe in.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] creeve4:
Is this camera bug still present in the 4.22 build?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
I understand perfectly...just supply & demand...

Great ROM though...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] HippoMan:
Thanks to both of you!

I'm installing now, and I'll report back. Will also test synapse and report.

OK, no problems with this kernel. Seems to work well.

I'm just confused as to which "synapse" app to use. There is one in Google Play by "Andrei F.", but when I run it, it just says "No UCI support".

I'm guessing that there must be another "synapse" app.

???

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zaclimon:
I'm searching it everywhere but I can't find it. Is there a setting that wakes the device up when picking it? I see that since I'm using Chroma, my nexus 7 gets turned on when I pick it but I just don't feel this lool...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] wmuflyer:
Settings --> display --> ambient display

From my Chroma Flo
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jbrantley130:
Hey, you need to check this thread out for help with synapse.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2736986

Also make sure you flash the UKM zip listed in that thread. And the no uci support detected is common... You just need to type this in the terminal emulator app that can be downloaded from the play store. Type this:

Su

Uci reset

Uci

And that's it, you're done should all be working now. Let me know how it goes for you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zaclimon:
I did that but it didn't fix my issue. I saw that there is a new build for mako that changes the implementation so maybe I'll wait for this build for Flo instead.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Didn't really change the implementation, just reverted it back to stock Lollipop ambient display.

Not sure when the next build will be available as Sykopompos compiles for it.. I think we're doing a biweekly release for tablets.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] creeve4:
The camera is not accessable in the 4.22 build when using Franco's r21 build.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Use a different kernel for the time being. If you can list any suggestions, I'll swap the default kernel for N7 2013 to that kernel that fully works.

Edit: Hm the ROM ships with r20. So r21 doesn't work with camera?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Traxex_:
I'm using arter97 kernel and everything seems to work :)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2948252

arter97 kernel for Nexus 7 (2013)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] creeve4:
Correct, with r20 the camera works, but not with r21.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Hmmm, I wonder if its a problem with Franco Kernel or a problem with the ROM in terms of device specific commits.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DroidIt!:
I've been using ElementalX with Chroma for awhile now with zero issues. Very battery friendly and very stable <---- my vote :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] stevehodes:
I can confirm Droidit! At least on a Deb.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Traxex_:
And your camera is working? *wondering*
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] stevehodes:
Mine seems to work fine with elementalX. It is however the deb.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jbrantley130:
I can confirm that camera works with Franco r20 but is a no go with r21. Also, I can confirm that arter97 kernel works awesome on the Flo. I'm running it as I type this from my Flo with Chroma ROM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] marko207:
Nice rom, I like it because there si just enough extra settings.

Found a bug though, volume wake doesnt work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Tex99:
Reality It s not a ROM problem, it a common issues with n7 2013 but Also 2012 and other phones, when they go into deep sleep, volume rocker wake doesn t work. If I remember well, simpleaosp fixed it recently, but I didn t try it
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] creeve4:
Camera is working with rastapop + r21
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] oxxshadow:
Great to see Chroma on Flo! Rocking it on Mako, great work [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION]!

A few questions:

1. Anyone using this with elemental x, is it safe to flash this on top of the default kernel on this ROM?

2. Does this require the retain se-policy zip file like in the Nexus 4 thread?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Vcolumn:
Google camera works fine with Quanta. Just tested all feature. Pana,sphere, blur. Front facing.. All well and no issues to report.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] kindofabuzz:
I installed ElementalX 4.00 and it's running great.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Jax Teller:
I'm also using latest build with ElementalX kernel 4.00 and everything is working fine, but I haven't tried Franco r21 to see what happens.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dnle71:
Seems like a great ROM, hope that you can fix the sim related bug in the status section for wifi variants. Also the camera bug for franco kernel r21.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jbrantley130:
I recommend trying either Quanta kernel or arter97 kernel. Quanta (can be found in the nexus 7 XDA forum) is based off of latest Franco r21 but doesn't have any issues with camera. Arter97 performs great also. This ROM runs great!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] ngyurov:
I'm using this ROM with latest version of elementalx and it's running great, haven't had issues so far.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DroidIt!:
Ello [MENTION=1050103]sykopompos[/MENTION] :) No rush/ETA asking or anything :) but on the N6 side of things Chroma's had quite a few updates. I'm kind of really impressed with this ROM and it's my DD on four devices now :) Any chance for a bringer up to date build for the flo at some point. Just, I really like some of the recent changes zephik's done since the last flo release. I'm not asking for a date, maybe just a general update on when we can expect something would be appreciated. Thanks syko ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
He'll get to it when he can, I can of course do a blind Flo build. I currently compile for N4, N5, N6.

As far as the Franco Kernel problem, it seems to occur on the N4 as well. I need a logcat of the issue as I don't have the device in front of me (although my dad has a flo that I can use for debugging but he uses it pretty often).

Also, the next Flo build will have the proper 5.1.1 proprietary binaries as provided by Google.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dnle71:
Also, about the frequency scaling. It consumes the battery toommuch. If i recall, it's set on performance mode with min. freq of 1026MHz. I hope that you'll consider using franco's settings.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] 777.300:
You can change those settings using the Franco FKU.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey zephiK. :) OK, thanks for the answer. I'll be looking forward to the release. [emoji16]
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] creeve4:
Is anyone else interested in Chroma with just the stock kernel?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] dnle71:
Already tried that and after a while it just goes back to 1026MHz
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jimbob_sf:
Lots of great kernels available. I use Glitch and it is flawless. I've paid for Franco and Elemental and they have great apps, but Glitch just seems to work best for me. I use Trickster for tweaks.

The only time I have issues with roms and kernels is when the Rom builds in its own control tools that fight the kernel's tool for control and settings magically change.

No matter the built in kernel, including a zip of the stock kernel gives us great flexibility.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] jyesucevitz:
great rom so far

i've had a lot trouble getting a Lollipop rom to run smoothly on my N7 2013. i flashed this rom 3 days ago and have not had a single issue. even though i have a Nexus 9 i still use

my N7 more often. thank you for a smooth L rom. it is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey [MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] :) Just a friendly reminder and also wondering how the N7 5.1.1 build is coming along. I know you've been extremely busy on the N6 side but just curious how things are coming along. Just really looking forward to your N7 build :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] cfrank38:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] my childs are very happy with the tablet running so nice. good rom,. Very nice work :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] Lawlrus:
Been on this two days now and everything is running great. Not sure why the push for 5.1.1, but it will happen when its ready to.

Pretty sure its been stated everyone is currently busy, not like the ROM NEEDS an update
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Chroma will never include a built-in kernel tweaking app embedded into the ROM, so you won't have to worry. I try to keep my ROM "noob friendly" without complicating things.

Been busy outside of XDA as well, finals is around the corner. Sykopompos builds for tablets, I only build for phones.

I'll nag him to compile tablets on the next build.

People just like flashing stuff :D

So it has came to my attention that a user decided to make a unofficial Google+ page without asking me in advance. The user sent me a PM and asked if I wanted it or not and I told the user to remove it. I decided to take things on my own hand and make my own Google+ group for Chroma.

Join if you want, https://plus.google.com/communities/100877567555105149232 -- I probably won't look at this too much because it's just another thing to maintain but I'll do my best.

I highly advise those who joined the unofficial group to leave it and join the official one made by myself, thank you.

Hey -

Lovin the ROM - super fast and smooth and great battery life on my Deb unit. I thought it was a goner... but I guess not. :)

One request - Is there any way to get Tethering turned on natively in there? I was using a 4.4 ROM before but don't see it on this release.

TIA!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] SHABBYLEA:
Cheers Zep...?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Sorry guys :( If I actually compiled for the device you guys would be getting the updates the same day I release for the phones.

'S'okay...don't worry 'bout it....
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mbl1979:
Its all good zephiK I'm sure we all know devs have a life besides XDA. Its cool showing us you haven't forgot. :) I have been using your ROM on my nexus 6 from when it was 3 days old. You rock end of story. My nexus 7 (flo) will remain on your ROM even if updates stop. It is very stable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Yeah for sure, the best Chroma experience is on the Nexus 6. Chroma + Nexus 6 is a dream, N5 and N4 is alright I guess.

Tablets aren't really my thing, the popularity on tablet dev vs phone dev is extremely skewed towards phones.

I could compile for flo but I rather not. I'd need to allocate more space for additional device builds probably.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mbl1979:
No need to explain bud. Its all good. ;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] mbl1979:
That does sound better. :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zephiK:
Don't know, sorry :( I don't compile for tablets. I can go and ask Syko again but I barely keep in touch with him as he's so busy with being outside nowadays.

I'm probably going to be putting the tablets as "unofficial support" from this point onwards if Syko ends up not compiling a build.

I can always compile one but my focus isn't on tablets and I'd need to allocate more space.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] zaclimon:
[MENTION=1978554]zephiK[/MENTION] I know I'm not part of the official staff but would it be possible to share the manifest just this one time or can I be the temporary maintaner while syko is out?

This way the users can have their updates (and me also lool) and syko wouldn't have to force himself too hard.

i think that everything that's needed to compile is open source and puplicely available for those who want that happen. i'm permanently with 2-4 roms and their nandroids to switch quickly should need arise :) try RR if you look for a good replacement, by far snappiest of all LP roms based on CM12 i've tried.

PS: i know it's usually not opportune to post alternate roms in a rom thread but since the last posts were mostly about the lack of updates i think it's ok in this case to discuss alternatives. peace
[Nexus 7 (2013) Android Development] adomol:
I know everyone is itching to flash and making a fuss, but there really isn't anything new in the aosp updates you are missing. Only one commit in the r1 to r2 update that might in some small way affect this device:

- Project: platform/system/core
5b3aa21 : fs_mgr: introduce fs_mgr_format to format wiped partitions

And r2 to r3 is literally one commit that is ONLY for Nexus6 devices.

So if you need to flash, clean flash the last release, maybe with a new kernel this time or try out a new layer. Might alleviate the withdrawal symtoms you may be suffering from. :D

And if anyone can tell me what that one commit up there will do for our device, please let me know!

Thanks
