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.

So, any reports? How is it running for you guys?
i had tried it the first night you posted it and had a couple of random reboots, switched back to your other ROM, j.

will give this one some time to stew...and try it again ;)

thanks again for helping to keep the prime alive

Really liking this ROM - thank you! One problem I've experienced so far - when opening a folder on the home screen, the Chameleon launcher force closes. Anyone else see this?

I dont seem to have root access?

Superuser is installed but no apps seem to be able to access it. Also I use SuperSU, is there an easy way to switch over to that? (I know SuperSU allows easy switching).
Got the same issue here. Anyone has a solution to re-root? Love the ROM btw!

Unfortunately, mine is on that option, but still no root access. And superuser keeps crashing. Any other options?
I also have the same issue. I tried doing doing ADB and Apps for root access but no go. I open Superuser and it just comes up with a message saying "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!

Any suggestions anyone as I have tried 2 other ROM's with the same problem. :confused:

Have you tried restoring a backup that had root?
I figured it it. I don't know how I lost root as that has never happened to me before and I've been flashing ROM's for a long time. :) Honestly I lost root between formatting my Prime and installing this ROM. It's a mystery that's for sure. :rolleyes:
