Code: 
Disclaimer: Chameleon OS is currently in beta. While it runs very well,
there may be things that are not completely functional. The development team is
not responsible for any damage to your device or your information.


Chameleon OS (or ChaOS for short) is a custom Android ROM that gives the user more control than they can experience on any other Android ROM. Starting with a CyanogenMOD base, we customize each piece to give ultimate control while maintaining the simplicity we all love about Android. The most notable feature of ChaOS is the theme engine, which can apply different pieces of themes in a true mix-and-match style. The launcher has been completely overhauled with tons of options that you'd normally need to download a third-party launcher for, such as home screen previews, folder sorting, and folder icon styles. The Messaging app has also had some UI retouches, including messaging bubbles and quick emoji button.

The entire framework of ChaOS has been modified around the theme engine, allowing for custom fonts, boot animations (with animated preview), and themes. No longer do you have to try to find the perfect theme, with Chameleon OS you can patch it together with your favorite pieces from different themes. Messaging, Phone, Status Bar, icons, everything can be set completely individually from each other which provides the capabilities to completely re-imagine your phone. Creating themes for the ChaOS Theme Engine is superbly simple and has extreme versatility.

Even with all of the features we've currently implemented, ChaOS will continue to mature with even more refined settings and features. We will be completely open source and will welcome developers to join us, whether it be by maintaining a device or utilizing our gerrit review. Even if you're not a developer, your voice will not go unheard. We will continually poll our users for the most wanted features and do our best to implement them.

Uploaded Google Drive link use it. Sorry the anon link works fine for me but I have two up now. Also, for root access you must manually go into developer options and toggle apps and adb.

Torch acts a little weird, force closes a few times. && changing the status bar clock to the center, makes it disappear, other than that, not bad, great work.

Thanks will work on that, this is the first Rom I've released for anyone but myself. I will be maintaining this thread as much as I can with twin two year old girls.

Either it was a bad download or you didnt wait long enough. I'm using Phil's recovery and it took a few minutes but flashed fine. Try a new download and flash again. If not download the PHils recovery zip, flash through TWRP and then reflash. Phil's will resore TWRP backups so all of your backups will be fine and you can flash it straight through your recovery, no fastboot needed.

The status bar clock problem is in the stock theme so there isnt much I can do about that right now, but for a temporary fix go into theme manager and download another theme and apply. Ive tried multipple from the Chameleon forums link and they are all nice. Will have a look at torch tomorrow and see if I can't push an update either tomorrow or the next day to fix that. Also I will try to get a better site to upload to fo you guys to download from.

Is there anyway you could pull a log for me on the torch fc? I had to let my wife use mine so I'm not going to be able to pull it until late tomorrow night and I would like to be working on it before then.

    So I noticed that this ROM doesn't have a separate messaging app and it uses hangouts. What is the app that is in the screen shots? I can't stand using hangouts as my sms app :/ liking the rom so far, did notce that I can't use the back button on screen to pull up the notifications bar. Is this just me? thanks! :good:

    Your Gapps package removed it, it is included.

    Its going well so far, been at work all day so haven't really tested it too much. I did notice that it doe not like the xposed framework, is this correct?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    xposed won't work with this, the framework has been heavily modified for the theme engine.

    Hi DREWHAMM974, a couple of your bug fixes are sitting in review.chameleonos.org (themes in settings, and apn editor, not sure about torch, it did not work on the couple of test builds i ran for N5, but it does work on N4.
    Did you make your own device tree? or did you use the hammerhead stuff on our github? GPS wasn't working on the test builds, and the guy that made that tree got too busy to finish. Anyways, thanks for putting this together. Once 0xD34D is finished moving, I'm sure he will continue to develop this in his free time. Feel free to contact me if you have questions, or need something tested or logged.
