THIS IS A ROM DEVELOPMENT THREAD ONLY. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS MODS OR ANYTHING NOT RELATED TO ROM DEVELOPMENT PLEASE USE THE CHAMELEON MODS THREAD

Summer 2013 Announcement
I'm going to be extremely busy over the Summer of 2013 so my involvement in ROM development is going to be limited. I will update/add features as and when I can. Please do not expect replies to PMs for now, especially development related questions.

Base: XWLSS (4.1.2)
Kernel: Jeboo v2.2

Samsung System Apps
Camera
FM Radio

AOSP System Apps
Everything else

In some cases, I have modified the underlying code in the AOSP apps to make them compatible with the Samsung base. Figuring out how to solve various bugs and compatibility issues has taken a lot of time and effort - therefore I would appreciate it if you do NOT use these AOSP apps in other projects without my permission - it's easy for me to tell if they are from Chameleon by looking at the decompiled smali code.

Stock ROM functionality
TV-OUT / stock FM radio
XWLSS Hardware Composer (Butter)

AOKP features (more to be added for future versions)
General UI
- Configurable notification backgrounds
- Recents - kill-all button, RAM bar
- Hold back to kill
- LCD density
Lockscreen
- Quick pin unlock
- Configurable wallpaper, text color, battery %
- Volume music controls
- Choose up to 8 lockscreen targets
Statusbar
- Battery icon / battery bar
- Clock - center clock, am/pm style, color, day of the week
- Toggles
- Signal style

NEW v3.0.2
v3.x Thunderbolt! init.d scripts

Although I have provided this as a non-wipe ROM, if you're coming from a ROM other than Chameleon YOU MUST WIPE DATA. You will absolutely encounter issues if you don't wipe. You can restore User apps but do not restore system apps, and especially system data. Important: See FAQ in 3rd post regarding data wipes when upgrading from a previous version of Chameleon to 3.0.2

v3.0
System - Rebased to XWLS8
System - AudioServices now respects key-press sound volume adjustment for AOSP (and 3rd party) keyboards
System - MediaScanner wakelock fix included (credit to shoman94)
Kernel - Jeboo kernel as default - stock with mdnie sharpness tweaks and FB EARLYSUSPEND DELAY enabled!*
Framework - Updated toggle icons
Framework - Removed redundant Swagger references
Framework - Enforced English "ON/OFF" strings for toggle switches only as many non-English languages were overflowing text
Framework - Rootbox weather icons
Framework - 4.2 drawables used in most cases
Lockscreen - 4.2 styling for Swipe, Pattern, Pin, Password and SIM unlock screens
Lockscreen - 4.2 digital clock (ported Rootbox's implementation)
DeskClock - NATIVE 4.2 digital clock widget
DeskClock - Fixed stopwatch notification layout issue

*I've added an init.d script to enable the mdnie sharpness tweaks, but they won't kick in until after at least one reboot (I think the init.d scripts are run after the kernel checks for the setting). You can however reboot into recovery after flashing the ROM and enable them from CWM > Jeboo tweaks to enable them for first boot.

Misc

Known bugs

3.0.2

Sending MMS causes Messaging FC (Fixed for patch, will require wiping messages again - sorry! - Though you can restore them from a backup such as SMS Backup and Restore)
Opening Camera In-Call causes Phone FC (Fixed for patch - to be uploaded)
Horizontal lockscreen layouts are screwed up (Fixed for patch - to be uploaded)
Lockscreen Clock digits disappear sometimes. Seems to be a rare occurrence and reports say 3.0.1 had this issue too. (Hard to investigate, never had the problem myself)
Plugging in certain USB accessories (e.g. Game Pads) causes SystemUI to FC (cause identified, fix to be tested)
Dialer doesn't respond to haptic vibration intensity settings (Fixed for path - to be uploaded)

The below bugs are for previous versions of Chameleon.

3.0 AOKP BETA
Transport control view is broken FIXED with 3.0 AOKP Bug Fix Patch

Whatever bugs are in XXLSJ

3.0 BETA
No CRT off animation

Whatever bugs are in XXLSJ

2.01 AOSP
None

2.01 AOKP
Lockscreen
Lockscreen: Layout optimisations required when a secure keyguard is in use (e.g. The text "Emergency Dialer" wraps to two lines) (AOKP bug)

Lockscreen rotation: Weather text dissapears on orientation change, weather panel is fine (AOKP bug)

Lockscreen torch requires holding the power button from screen off to turn on. Of course, the problem is that if you hold the power button for long enough, the phone powers off, making the torch usable for only a very short time (AOKP bug)

Statusbar
General: Date does not show - enable weather once to show it, can be disabled after that, the date will still show (AOKP bug)

General: When enabling options that require a UI restart (Notification drawer layout, Statusbar font size, Recents window style, Transparency), WiFi indicator looks like it's not connected, even though it is (AOKP bug)

Clock: Time in statusbar doesn't always update (AOKP bug)

ROM Control
Lockscreen targets: Target pickers need better refresh handling, don't show default unlock targets (AOKP bug)

Lockscreen style: On first run of ROM Control/lockscreen style picking, Honeycomb is shown as the enabled lockscreen even though it's the 2-target ICS losckreen (AOKP bug)

FAQ

I'm already on a previous version of Chameleon. Do I need to full wipe to install 3.0.2?
If you're coming from v2.x, yes, definitely.

If you're coming from v3.x, you can try a dirty flash, but 3.0.2 has a different telephony provider which WILL cause issues with SMS unless you at least clear data for the provider. To do so, perform the steps in this post.

I just flashed it and my phone is running like a snail
As with all new installs, give the media scanner time to do its work and the system to build caches etc before judging the performance of (any) Rom
