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)

Volume rocker customization:

So you may be wondering why there are two Chroma threads in this subforum.

The reason why I build my own build of Chroma is because I am not satisfied with the existing build in XDA, it doesn't have an enforcing SELinux, doesn't have bootanimation included, etc.

I really loved Chroma when I was using a Nexus 4, so I want the same experience that I used to have on that phone, so I would build my ROM as close to the official build as I can.

About the thread, apparently I cannot post my build on the other thread, so I'm creating a new thread to keep you guys updated and discuss about my builds. Hopefully you'd enjoy using my build!

Thank you! Does it have Emoji One, though? The other ROM for sprout doesn't have it.

Oh, apparently the first build doesn't include EmojiOne. I will try to add it in the next build. Thanks for mentioning it, if not I wouldn't have realized

sprout4 build default storage is internal(like a sprout8 build), internal storage can be seen in the file manager meaning it is a sprout8 version.

Do you mean /sdcard should be pointing to external sdcard instead of internal? Does it behave like that on Stock ROM? Because I don't have a sprout4 device to test to.

I think I have found a fix for this. But please confirm if what I'm thinking is correct.

Okay, please wait for the 02/25 build. I'm trying to implement a fix.

 

[hanuraiga]

Seeing something.. Waiting for updates :v

Not ROM related, Swiftkey works fine here, I can download themes and language packs correctly. Try checking your internet connection.

Hey, I shared your thread in the Android One Facebook group. There are more sprout users there than here in XDA.

 

[Minions_Army]

Req XenonHD bro

 

[vjtigas]

Flashed the ROM:
Blank white screen on Settings>Personalization>Chroma>Lock screen>Carrier Label. This also happens on the other builds though.

 

[xenreon]

Req XenonHD bro

Do it yourself, it's not a rom request thread....

 

[jmfinity]

@KcLKcL

about the swiftkey it is ok now

may i ask something about the data connection, why is it we have to turn on and off the airplane mode just to connect to data connection? why is it happening and whats the cause of it? is there any fix you can do about this...

thanks!
