Seems like it's another bug.Thanks for reporting it to me so I can search for a fix! :) :good:

Hi,

Sorry guys that I wasn't here for a long time, but I had no time.I will now update my source and then build the ROM, without any changes.Then I will update the buglist and now I will really contribute to this thread, not like before.I will try to fix each and every bug so it can be very stable!
I will also add a changelog and to every new build I will add some features from other ROMs. :)

EDIT: I messed something up on my drive, so I need to sync the source again. :rolleyes:

Hi guys,
I'm done with the build, and now I will show you the bugs.The bugs aren't related to ril, wifi, bluetooth,..They are related to framework stuff, like SystemUI, framework-res,..
That means it's a daily driver but you will get often bugs with the Statusbar and Framework like:
-Some PNG's aren't changing or even applying after activating
-Clock is sometime disappearing
-Recent apps isn't showing
-Statusbar FC's when kliching on Mobile Data icon

The only thing I must solve which is has to do with hardware is the SD Card mounting bug!Oh yeah, there is onther bug: Root isn't working.
I will search for fixes, and then I will try to patch them in my source.

Thanks for your Support!

Okay, I looked on the net and I tryed to atleast fix the root bug but it didn't work, I don't know what to do!
Maybe I synced the false source or so.Because I can't imagine that it's the device tree's fault when framework has bugs!
I'm out of this!!! :mad:
How can this be???
I'm building till yesterday because my PC always shutted down and now this!!

I found out that the ChameleonOS team stopped developing this ROM, as there are no new commits to this. There is neither an official CameleonOS for any device and much other devices has same bugs as this one. Sorry for this, but when they start working on it, I will start to make a new build ASAP!
