Thank god its not just me. Yeah its not every single time for me either but it does happen numerous times throughout my day. But hey, its all good....I'll take a look at the logcat.

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)

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 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!)

Checkout Cyanogen 5.0.8 change log
http://github.com/cyanogen/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/eclair/CHANGELOG

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!

This Rom used to be based on .07 test4 and was called ChromeMOD most comments on the first few pages are from that POS release jump to the end to see whats what!.

You just need to flash a newer 2708 kernel back to back on install (flash the the ROM, flash the kernel then first boot). Ezterry and Farmatito both have good ones - be sure to get a Froyo kernel, not Gingerbread.
