[ROM][N5][6.0.1_r54][MTC19Z] Chroma 07/07/2016

[zephiK]

Chroma is a lightweight AOSP ROM focused on battery, performance and stability.
The philosophy of Chroma is to stay relatively close to Google's stock Marshmallow with the additions of essential features that should have been included with stock Marshmallow as well as providing the most up-to-date security patches.

Battery Style (Icon Portrait/Landscape, Circle, Text, Hide) and Battery Percentage
Clock & Date (Show/Hide, Color, Alignment, AM/PM, Show/Hide Date, Date Style, Date Format)
Brightness Control (long press status bar to change brightness)
Double-tap status bar to turn screen off
Show/hide notification count
Quick pull-down on left/right side to pull down tiles
Network traffic
Pressing on clock or date on status bar opens up Clock, Calendar
Status bar weather
Show/hide brightness slider

Navigation bar customization
Navigation bar height
Kill app back button
Double tap navigation bar to sleep
Clear all recents button (swipe down on recent apps and it'll display on the bottom right)

Lock screen customization
Lock screen wallpaper
Power menu customization (power off, reboot, screenshot, airplane mode)
Advanced Reboot (reboot/soft reboot/recovery/bootloader)

Volume rocker customization:
Wake device with volume keys when screen off
Long press volume up/down keys to skip track when screen off

Other:
A large number of optimizations, memory leak fixes, security patches
Long press recents to swap back to previous app
Prevent camera shutter sound
... and more (see changelog)

Special thanks to:

• People who have tipped/donated to me to support ongoing development
• hellsgod for the kernel
• Sykopompos for being a good friend
• CyanogenMod as well as the open source community

I still need to add the led lights in and time service gets reset at reboot till it connects to the network. I'll have those fixed later

I tested the build Today (syko posted one few hours ago), feels good, works good, all important settings available, layer on board, well done. Only color profiles doesn't stick but i will take a look what's the problem,maybe only for me.

Color profiles on the kernel? If you're using Franco kernel, be sure to toggle on the set on boot switch to have it remain there after boot.

This is still all zephik's work. I'm just handling device specific stuff to bring chroma to other devices beyond the n6

 

[Curiousn00b]

Sweet. I was wondering about this ROM when I saw it in the N6.

 

[inspeckta_dek]

Does it have ambient display?

Where can I get the chroma wallpaper??

 

[mikaole]

Just an info.
Tried to clean flash.
Without gappsapps first. System ui has stopped right at start
Another clean with gapps system ui stopped right at start.

Same for the other guy from German forum that tested it.

Anyway will test next version without a doubt.
Thx for the work to our layers dev

@sykopompos @zephiK thanks to bring Chroma to N5. Just flashed it couple of hours ago with franco r74 and banks gapps 3/17. Everythings fine so far :good:

 

[zephiK]

Yes it does.
The chroma wallpapers are found on a Dropbox. I'll have to update the third post to have the link to the wallpapers, they're in 1440p and not 1080p though.

I believe that @sykopompos packaged the zip with Franco kernel. You need to use a kernel with the torch commit otherwise you'll get system ui fc. If syko did package the zip with Franco then it should work out of the box and the kernel you alternatively flashed is missing the commit.

The torch commit is needed for navigation ring customization.

Is there a way, on the phone, to go into the flashable .dat and remove/replace files/folders that we don't want?

 

[mikaole]

Will dl francos latest and try flash it right after.
Didn't flash any kernel with it. Juzt rom and su

In display setting I don't see ambient display controllers
