RETIRED!

Hey again guys. Good news and bad news.

Bad News:

I will not be releasing Chromatic ROMs in the near future. I have way too much going on in my personal and professional life right now, to be haxxin on ROMs.

Good News:

The Biff Mod Squad is still developing BiffMOD and it is currently on V 2.1 which is based on CM 6.1 Froyo 2.2.1 (latest) ANNNND even better news! Sisterchick has created a Chromatic theme for it, so you can still enjoy the Chromatic flavor!

Originally BiffMOD was the exact same thing as Chromatic so you guys will be in good hands with those folks. Go check it out, the Chromatic Theme should be up tomorrow (11-10)

http://chromatic.r00t.la/Releases/wipedatacachesystem.zip

Out of respect for the dev, I have removed SetCPU; this will also help with some of the update woes people have been having, he offers it up free on his XDA page. 2.0 is out and it is SLICK!

Download latest version here: http://chromatic.r00t.la/

Known Issues

[*]XML Import and Export is not working on versions prior to 4.3 ITS FIXED!!!(CMParts)

[+] For the time being right click and save the file here on your computer, and then go into the UI tweaks under Settings>CMParts on your phone, and fill in the corresponding parts as listed on the xml file

[*] Sometimes Market can go wonky and get hung up on downloads

[+] Fix for this is to first check your downloads page as Froyo can restore your apps so it may already be downloading the same app your trying to install, or it may just be processing hard trying to restore all of your "known" apps. Just let it work through those restores, it may max out your internal memory and fail a bunch of them, thats ok just let it do its thing. Then re-boot and try again.

[+] Next, if you are still having trouble, Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All> Market, And clear cache, Clear Data, Force Stop; Then hit back and go to Market Updater and do the same. Re-boot, and then re-try your install. Still doesn't work? Then something is broken, wipe and re-flash.

Battery Issues?

[+] Let the phone die till it turns off

[+] Plug it in

[+] Boot into recovery

[+] Wipe battery stats

[+] Let batter charge for 8+ hours, this is good conditioning for you battery as well!

~POST BOOT SETUP~

Setup

Don't allow Google to collect anonymous data; It makes your GPS run all the time.

Un-Check Back up my data to Google

LET IT SYNC! Its going to do all kinds of stuff like restoring apps etc. just let it chill for a while, go into market and watch the downloads tab once the sync icon disappears! Seriously, leave it alone, go hang out, or setup your settings but leave apps alone!

If you get into a loop with the setup wizard on first boot, just hit home key after you log in once.

CM Settings

Go to: Settings>CyanogenMod Settings

Application settings> Check Allow application moving (DO NOT CHANGE INSTALL LOCATION FROM AUTOMATIC, IT WILL CAUSE ISSUES WITH APPS2EXT)

Input Settings>Lockscreen music controls are awesome thanks kmobs!, Menu unlock settings are in here as well.

Performance Settings> Seriously Dragons...you should only touch Lock Home in Memory (which everyone should turn on!) if you want us to support you in the threads :P Other stuff is functional, but experimental!

UI Settings> See Known issues section for instructions on setting this up easily :) Setting most things to white or grey will result in fine looks. You need not mess with Notification bar submenu under >Notifications colors

Spare Parts Setup

Go to: Settings>Spare parts

Window animations: Fast

Transition animations: Fast

Remember (as with all CM based ROMS) you will need to change the text color for your clock and notifications via Settings>spare parts. It will be black on black when you boot.

See Known issues list for workaround!

Right click and save as xml to the root of your SD card

Go into Settings>CM Settings>User Interface>Tweaks Extra, and scroll all the way down, click "Import colors from XML"

Reboot to apply changes

SetCPU Setup

Download from here give coolbho3000 some love 2.X is AMAZING!

Recommended Settings

Max 576MHz

Min 245/128

Scaling ALWAYS on demand

If you have reboots, scale it back! :)

Setup Profiles for charging and sleeping:

Max: 528

Min: 245

ADW Suggestions

Go into Settings>ADW Settings

Change "Desktop scrolling speed" value to 0-177. (0 is what I use and is silly fast!)

Desktop Overshoot set to "50"

I also recommend Under UI settings:

Checking, Closing dockbar

Checking, Tint AB

Checking, Hide AllApps Bg

Checking, Hide AB Bg

Checking, Hide Icon labels

Highlight Press Color: FF000000

Highlight Focus Color: FF696969

Un-Check, Scrollable widget support (unless you are using some of the new scrollable widgets like what the Pure line is doing)

Get in there play around!!!

If you do have problems wipe and try again :)

I put a lot into this ROM I hope everyone likes it!!! :)

Based on CM 6 (Nightly 8-08) (Thanks to Cyanogen and his team of oh so amazing, self proclaimed douches!)

http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/CHANGELOG

#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

It's important to know that the "DangerSPL" (or DeathSPL or Haykuro's SPL or whatever you prefer) is a prerequisite for Dream/G1 users. Magic (MT3G etc) users do *not* need to do this. Ciwrl has written a guide to installing this bootloader. Flashing this bootloader under the wrong conditions can actually brick your device, so pay attention to the guide. CM releases have always avoided this requirement, but the new bootloader frees up enough space so that no crazy hacks are required for a fully functional system.

INSTRUCTIONS:

- First time flashing a CM-5 based rom?

1. Root your device and install Amon_RA's recovery (Dream / Magic)

2. Do a Nandroid backup!

3. Install the DangerSPL if you don't already have it

4. WIPE (I cannot guarantee an upgrade from CM-4.2 to this CM-5 based ROM will work- Titanium Backup may be of help)

5. Install the ROM

- Upgrading?

1. Do a Nandroid Backup!

2. Install the ROM

If it is lagging or feeling laggy go into SETCPU chances are the max is set to something stupid low for some reason so it makes this ROM feel like crap.

~if you have problems I recommend a full wipe

1.Wipe>Wipe Data Factory Reset

2.Wipe> Clear dalvik Cache

3.Wipe> Wipe EXT partition

4.Wipe> Battery stats

4. Partition Sd Card> Repair EXT partition

5. Flash zip

6. Enjoy!
