Chroma is a lightweight AOSP ROM focused on battery, performance and stability.

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

Clear all recents button (swipe down on recent apps and it'll display on the bottom right)

Volume rocker customization:

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

... and more (see changelog)

Looks like it's finally time for me to unlock the bootloader on this shiny new phone. Nice to see you again, @zephiK!

Is the kernel just stock? just backing up to TiBu right now, so should have it flashed in about 10 minutes.

Stock kernel with the modifications
1. Disable forceencrypt
2. Permissive selinux (to allow the ROM to boot without looping since SuperSU is attached to the ROM)

That is correct

If there's any problems, let me know. It's a early release and I'm sure there are some problems with the ROM that I haven't catched onto yet.
