[Nexus 4 Android Development] KcLKcL:
THIS IS AN UNOFFICIAL BUILD, DO NOT REPORT BUGS OR ASK QUESTIONS TO ZEPHIK, HE DOES NOT SUPPORT NEXUS 4 ANYMORE. I REPEAT, DO NOT REPORT BUGS OR ASK QUESTIONS TO ZEPHIK

I'm actually building this for myself, since I want to experience Chroma on my device, as I can't afford a new one. I'm sharing it to you guys, and I hope that this could be useful for you if you want to experience Chroma on our beloved mako.

Features are not complete yet, zephiK is slowly merging features, I will try to keep up with his updates.

​

Chroma is a lightweight AOSP ROM focused on security exploits, battery, performance and stability.
