[Completed] Nexus 4 Troubles: Just installed Chroma 11/11/2015 - XDA Assist

Hi everyone,
I've been having some issues and have spent a couple hours trying to solve them myself. I've just attempted to unlock my bootloader, root my phone, and flash it with the latest version of Chroma for Nexus 4. Here is the developers thread for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-chroma-03-31-2015-layers-t3069936
My troubles are:
The 'home' soft key does not work
notifications do not work
none of my google accounts will sync - no gmail, contacts, etc
the 'quick settings' drop down from the status bar does not show up
I have done what I believe is a clean flash (full factory reset, used TWRP). I installed the Banks GApps as recommended in the Chroma post. Once my phone booted into Chroma, I proceeded with what seemed like a perfectly setup. I then quickly found that my home key did not work and began to discover the other problems as well.
I would have posted in the ROM thread, but I'm not allowed to yet. I appreciate any help or advice that is provided! I'm going in to work tomorrow with this crippled phone and hope that I can get it working properly in the evening.
Thanks for the help!

I think so. I used the latest image from the TWRP Mako page. (Not allowed to link it)
How can I check if TWRP is happy? I haven't seen anything weird with it.

Fixed!
I've managed to resolve all my issues by wiping the entire phone (System, Caches, Internal storage, etc.) using TWRP and reflashing Chroma 11/11/2015. Instead of Banks GApps as suggested, I used tk-mini GApps. Everything seems to be puttering along smoothly now.
I suppose we can mark this as Solved?

[Q] About to throw this XOOM into the wall

Hi there,
I have a UK WiFI xoom, and everything was working fine. I installed the ICS AOSP rom, and no issues.
The problem started when I updated the AOSP ICS rom, and the gapps, Now I DONT HAVE MARKET access. The loading circle just goes round and round till it says 'connection timed out - retry'. The GTALK doesnt connect either, it just says 'signing in' till it goes 'offline'.
Right now, I am on the EOS Wifi ICS rom.
Here's what I HAVE done so far to fix it based on ideas in this forum and others (trust me, I search before I post:
- Factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik before every rom install
- Installed every single ICS rom there is, with the recommended google apps
- wiped data on the google services framework
- Installed different version of gapps
- Shut down the firewall on the HOME NETWORK.
It just doesnt work anymore. It used to connect fine to the home Wifi earlier but something just went wrong somewhere and i cant track it down.
Any help would be appreciated.
you have any more info like does your xoom show you are connected to your wifi? do you have any other wireless devices and are they accessing the internet fine? are you flashing the right gapps package?
yea, Wifi is connected fine. Alternate markets like 'slideme', and browser, gmail, maps app etc work fine without problems.
I have flashed the latest gapps package as recommended by EOS rom makers (v. 10 i believe)
after installing the eos mod, did u restart before installing the gaps?
load a stock backup then reinstall your current flavor and gapps

First, take a deep breath. It's probably something small that's causing the problem, no doubt.
Some of the EOS Nightly are more stable than others. I would recommend wingray nightly build #56 (very smooth and stable) with the 10.4 GAPPS flashed immediately afterward. First wipe cache partitions, then dalvik cache (in advanced) then flash the rom and the GAPPS, then reboot. This should work very well for you. If you feel the need to do another data wipe, do that before anything else.
IMHO, no need to flash stock images 1st. Just flash on top of your current rom.
Good luck!
ok- will try and respond with results. thanks for the patience/

Hi - I did the steps exactly as you said (with a full data wipe). Still getting nowhere?
Any more ideas?
Go back to stock US recovery ROM. Start again.
Also no idea how to fix it (as nothing previously worked), but the symptoms seem similar to when you haven't accepted the agreement that pops up on new google framework (?) version. Won't let you use market or gtalk.. has happened to me before.
Before flashing, try an extra wipe: wipe system (in some recoveries also called "format system" ). I have been saved by this more than once.
Tapatalking
I always wipe dalvick and cache partition. Install ROM from SD card, followed by latest Gapps and then use the fix permissions in advanced settings before rebooting. I have never had a single problem and have been using EOS Wingray nightly since release 11. I am sure the fix permissions is the key to this. No need to do a full wipe if you are on the same ROM!

i will try that now.
Also, if i should move back to stock - which rom should I go to? HC or ICS? any links would help. thx guys, for the patience.

You can only go back to 3.0 or whatever it is. t will update to 3.2, and then hopefully ICS.
On tablet, so can't quickly find original motorola dev website - try Googling. Here is link to post with hosted firmwares anyway..

Have you tried accessing the market through the browser? You will need to sign in...that may reestablish your link. I can't see why you need to go back to stock Honeycomb. It gets complicated getting cwm recovery back on (to stick).
I had a similar issue on my DHD. It turned out that your language needs to be US English.
Hope this helps

GApps not working with CM7 ROM

I installed the CM7 port and the GApps, but my Google apps don't show up. I've tried reflashing the ROM and the GApps package over and over and clearing all the caches to no avail. Help?
you have to flash GAPPS separately. refer original post of CM7 thread and you will find the link
That's what I did. I flashed the ROM then I flashed the GApps, but they're still not showing up.
Ok that's weird. Can you pinpoint the exact steps you performed from download to copying to erasing to booting up? Each and every step please.
Sure thing.
I downloaded the ROM and the GApps package from the ROM's thread and stored the files on my desktop. While the downloads were going, I booted my phone into recovery and mounted the USB storage. I then plugged the phone into my computer and copied the files over before ejecting the USB device and unplugging the phone. I then wiped the user data, the cache, and the Dalvik cache and flashed the ROM, then, straight after, the GApps. I wiped the user data again just to be safe then rebooted back into the OS.
After it didn't work the first time, I downloaded the GApps again and copied them to my phone again, this time within the OS instead of the recovery. Rebooted, wiped user data, cache, and Dalvik cache, flashed the GApps, and nothing.
Not being sure if it was the ROM or the GApps package, I flashed the MIUI beta then flashed the GApps (using the same sequence of steps mentioned above) and it still didn't work, so it doesn't seem to be specific to CM7.
Ok try these steps:
1. Download the ROM
2. Download GApps from here: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
3. Wipe the big 3's (user data, cache and dalvik-cache).
4. Flash the ROM.
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Boot without erasing anything.
I followed your instructions exactly but I still have the same problem.
Interestingly, if I go into the list of installed applications in the settings, Market (but no other Google apps) shows up but it's greyed out and I don't have any options to run it or anything.

Crap. Something's really not right. Can you give it a try with the SuperOSR ROM? Need to see if it's specific to the CM build.
EDIT: Can you try searching for the Market .apk file around the forum and install it manually? It should be somewhere in Themes&Apps section. Give that a try before trying with the SuperOSR ROM. Wipe, re-flash ROM, flash Market.apk, reboot.
Reason: the gapps provided by CM team are old (v2 market) and it might be that Google does not support v2 anymore since they've switched to Play Store. (not sure).
I did try with the MIUI ROM and the same thing happened, I don't think it's specific to your ROM build. Perhaps my phone just doesn't like Cyanogen's GApps package? No idea why that would be though.
Anyway, I did as you suggested and installed an APK and it worked! I found this one on Redmond Pie and put in the SD and installed it with the file browser on the phone. Seems to work fine so far

Awesome!
While you're here, a bug I've noticed that's only popped up on your ROM is that, when I turn the phone off, sometimes the orange light stays on and the phone's completely frozen up until I pull the battery. It's only happened twice but I thought it might be something to look into.
Other than that, it's very good! I'm enjoying it, keep up the good work

It's a CWM based problem. Update your CWM recovery to the latest one from the CWM thread in the Dev section and you are good to go.
Way too many CWM's in two sentences..
I'll do that now, cheers
Glad to know you are up and running, but it's still quite strange. Every time I flashed CM7.2 (it it was quite a lot of times GApps were there, Market included. Just running the Market app would actualize it to Play Store automagically.
Of course, as Alex says, it may not be supported by Google anymore, but still you should have gmail, etc from the zip file even without a working Play Store...
The issue was probably related to CWM, if you have an old enough version it could be messing up with the zip internals, but sometimes it's just anything else... (I installed the first CM9 alpha rom w/o problem, the second one wouldn't install, one week later, doing exactly the same with the same zip file, it installed flawlessly)
It may also be related to the specific terminal, I have noticed that depending on the device type (country of release, free or network operator locked, and so on) terminals behave a little bit different in some aspects (e.g. my GPS stopped working after unlocking the bootloader and was only fixed when I reflashed the radio firmware after getting S-OFF; and now, with the CM9 alpha, my keyboard won't get backlight while it's dark outside but adxl's is working fine, which is bad for debugging purposes, of course )
If you could make a backup and install SuperOSR and see if everything works fine the first time (even if you go back to CM afterwards, as I did) it may help to understand the issue better... Or maybe just posting your phone's specific data (model, build, country, etc) may give us a hint.
We know that free UK terminals are somewhat different to Spain free terminals, and those are a bit different from Orange or Yoigo locked terminals... It may be related to hardware batches out fro the factory, who knows?
Enjoy your ChaChaCha!
I think the problem was my CWM in the end. After I upgraded it (that alone included some trial and error, eventually the fastboot method worked) the GApps zips worked fine.
So if anyone else has this problem, check your CWM version and upgrade it if you need to
Can i Upgrade CWM without any change of my current OS ?
i actually couldnt go to Market after i flashed GServices. I downloaded newest Google Play in HTC Chacha apps, installed it and it work until now (of course wit GService flashed before).
Btw, how can i check my current CWM. Thanks!

Hello there!
I've came by to add my issue, similar to yours.
I was on CM7 too and wanted to try the SuperOSR ROM. I used the common steps for flash it (all cache Wiping and factory reseting, ROM installing, Gapps installing), rebooting my phone, connect it with a Google account, launched Gmail and then when I've arrived at a certain level of my mails, the app crash...
For the Google Play app, I've got a server connexion error...
It's like if all the Google's framework was here but totally not stable...
I've tried with an another ROM, the MUI ROM and everything works...
Like I said, I came from the CM7 ROM wich was working...

Hi, I registered in this forum just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was searching for that appropriate GApps for the CM7 I installed previously with the GApps for Ginger Bread (not the same with this link you posted) and it gave me a headache too. I tried flashing for 3x & the Gapps were not working. Then I tried this link and VOILA! Now my smile is from ear to ear.. so SALAMAT! (Tagalog word for THANK YOU). I'm from Philippines anyway. I bookmarked this page for future reference. A million thanks to XDA Developers and it's helpful members & thanks for welcoming me even I'm a noob.. :laugh::laugh:

Shouldn't be any reason you couldn't use TWRP. I'm pretty sure nard himself uses it. The CWM was a CM project for a long time, and still the recovery built within it. Everyone pushes their stuff.
been running M7 for about a day now. had one fc with touchdown, my work email client, but otherwise looks good. surprised i had to manually change build.prop to set the dpi. i'm not blind, so i hate the trend towards gigantic fonts even on smallish screens like this one.
i also wasn't able to use tibu to restore securid from my old phone (vzw droid4) but i suspect that app uses some system properties like imei to create its security, so it can't be moved... not a problem. just have to do clean in stall and reimport the token.
one thing i noticed even in cm11m2 on my d4 as well as on this phone in cm11m7 is that the included sms app doesn't actually have a dark theme, and that sticks out like a sore thumb. even when you check the box for dark theme in the sms app itself, it's still white. not a huge deal obviously but doesn't match the rest of cm's normal polish.

The "use dark theme" option only applies to the quick reply pop up windows. The option is conveniently listed in the "quick reply" section.

doh, you're right. my point still stands about messaging not matching the rest of cm's theming. i guess they expect people to just use chomp, go, handcent or whatever other app... i like the standard one in cm tho. except for how light it is.
What did change from the blobs for the builds after 14 /06 ?
Running 14/06 now, really good, battery charging issues are gone (i think), because a new kernel/other blobs.

First, use the most up-to-date recovery; I'm pretty sure that cwm 6.0.1.2 isn't it if I see 6.0.4.7 on other devices. I like using TWRP personally, and there's a thread in this forum for that. The outdated recovery is probably the main problem right there for the failed flash.
Second, it doesn't look like you wiped anything in your steps. No factory reset, not even wiping cache and dalvik. Most people do a clean flash (that's a factory reset in recovery) when troubleshooting a failure to install a custom ROM.
Try using the latest recovery, wiping at least cache and dalvik, and see if it helps.
Good luck

i second this. my steps were:
1- boot to download mode, install twrp
2- boot to recovery, flash CM
3- while still in recovery, flash gapps if you want them (make sure you have the correct version of gapps from the CM site)
4- still in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik
5- still in recovery, do factory reset
6- reboot normally (it's called 'system' in twrp) and start using phone
note that there is no need to copy/flash SU at any time because CM is already rooted.
using nightly 22/06 my phone slowed down to unusable slow, flashed 24/06 yesterday.
Never had this before on cm nightly's for the relay.
And the charging (usb) problems aren't over yet (sometimes it works fine for a few hours, sometimes a few minutes).
Did a clean install a week ago (didn't solve anything).

Ok. Now, find out what version of cpu you have and get some logs to help them track down your problems.
There's a search box in the corner.
I don't have any of the problems you are describing and I am betting the developers do not, either.

I am on T-Mo, I get this via the default android messaging app as well as hangouts, but I also have times where mobile data refuses to work as well.
Right now, I'm having this issue on 11-20140608-Snapshot-M7-apexqtmo. I did wipe data and cache before I flashed. I'm not sure what is causing my issue.
I am tempted to reflash it back to factory, and take it back under my total care and get it replaced for a S5, but I really like my keyboard. :crying:
did you wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom? the only quirk i've noticed on m7 is that if i don't reboot every couple of days, my work email program (touchdown) likes to get slow and crashy while composing emails. going to the recent apps drawer and closing everything there usually fixes that. gps and bluetooth work fine even at the same time and battery life is great. after having tried multiple roms on my droid4 and having gps and camera issues, i am pleasently susprised how stable cm is on this relay (which i've only had a couple weeks now).

I even tried that too. My phone's about a year and a half old now. I've noticed recently if the keyboard is out, or i'm holding the phone sideways, and I get a call, the phone app crashes over and over till i rotate it upward so the display is vertical, then it stops crashing(all while the phone is still ringing so I can still answer it.)

I'm having random reboots.

Hi,

-Day One: Just stock 25R, installed all Apps via google play, no problems whatsoever.
-Update 30O still no problems.
-Then I rootet the phone and flashed TWRP recovery to install the Titanium Backups of my old Nexus 4. Thats when I had the first random reboots. Some while Browsing in Chrome, Some on Youtube, Some while listening Music on Hedphones.
Since I have no Sim-Pincode activated a reboot just means, that I'm Offline for about 20 seconds but having that about 5 times a day just isn't acceptable.
-Then I got the 33R OTA update, which made my root and TWRP recovery disappear because I forgot to make a check in the developper settings, but that did not make the reboots disappear
-Today I flashed the 25R stock Image of the Firmware via Fastboot to set my One to real Factory status. I only installed apps via google play and recovered the app data of 2-3 apps via helium backup without root. I got the two OTA updates, and another reboot.
-Then I rootet the thing again, to use a logcat app, and now I have two logcats ending with a reboot.
I really hope that you can help me since I allready sold my old phone and expect that it will take really long until I get a new OpO here in Germany.
The next thing I will do is flash the 25R Image again and install the apps without using helium at all and leave out the goolors icon pack that I used before. But after that I'm absolutely out of ideas.
UPDATE: Yeah so it's definitely a HW defekt or something I cannot solve. I just wiped everything via TWRP, then flashed the factory image 25R without root and just installed some apps via google play. But after one hour I read an email and it rebooted....
Unfortunately I cant post the links to the logcats due to my low post count.
Logcats don't help you when it comes to finding out what is causing your phone to reboot. It is last_kmsg that is responsible for debugging reboots.
A hardware defect would not be causing your phone to reboot, its something to do with the way your phone is configured / set up.
I would highly recommend you to start from scratch completely and do the following,
- Flash XNPH33R http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH33R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip from scratch. Make sure you do wipe.
(OR.. flash a custom ROM after wiping)
- List all of the apps that you currently have installed.
- Are you using Xposed?
- Whats your set up? ROM/Kernel/Gapps/etc.
I am not using any custom Rom, root, custom kernel or xposed module.
I just wiped everything in TWRP and flashed the 25R factory image. After about one hour of installing apps in Google play and loging into account i got the first reboot.
I can try flashing the image that you postet tomorrow but thats the same Rom that Im using now

I meant, you can try a custom ROM and see if you can reproduce the problem. Custom ROMs are running on code that is much newer than CM11S.
Ensure you're on XNPH33R when it comes to OTAs.
I just wanted to add my frightful experience. I've had the OPO for two weeks now without problems and no random reboots. Had my first reboot today and just now my phone powered off and wouldn't turn back on. I plugged it back into the wall charger and it turned itself back on but was stuck on the boot logo. I tried holding down the power button to turn it off but nothing. Pressing the power button only turned the display on and off but still stuck on boot logo. Eventually I held down the power button and volume down and the phone buzzed and went to recovery. I'm on stock 33R and Franco's kernel. Haven't tweaked anything. Now I'm afraid my phone is going to brick itself.

Yeah so this is definitely getting worse. At first I had 1-2 reboots a day but today after unplugging I already had 3 reboots in one hour.
I think I am definitely going to send it back when I'm back home next Week.
I already flashed stock Firmware 3 times and did what feels like 10 full wipes in one Week.
This cant be normal. Apps that I installed that arent in the top 50 in the play store are: Dailyme, yatse for xbmc, line, Wolfram aplha and ogyoutube.
That really sucks. I already sold my nexus 4 and have no other phone left
Btw: I'm on 33R for the third time this Werk. Everytime via OTA
Try a different Rom like crDroid + AK Kernel. Running this 2 things since 2 weeks and i only got one reboot just because my camera stopped working because in undervolted my phone ^^
THX but I just want a functioning phone. And since I have errors that nobody else has I think that it is a Hardware issue. At the Moment I am waiting for a answer from one plus so i can send it back

ok I understand your frustration but to fully test your phone you will need to run stock and stock only with no outside apps loaded. Try and do this for a day or half a day or so and see what your results may be. Its your phone and of course do what you like but testing your phone and doing the same thing every time as in reloading your apps is not a good way of fully testing.
also did you do a last_kmsg report as recommended.
Okay will do that. Is there a tutorial to do a last_kmsg report? Do i need root?

Yes you need root. After a reboot just pull the last_kmsg file from /proc/ using adb, file Explorer of your choice, etc.

of course there is a tutorial there is a tutorial for everything.... Got to utilize google my friend.
OKay it's me again. Meanwhile the Oneplus support answered my mails and told me to flash custom Kernels to resolve the issue.
Since Yesterday I tried three Kernels (Franco, Heeroluca and AK) and nothing changed, so now I start to gather some Last_kmsg files name it after the APP where the reboot occured and upload it here. Ofcourse I'm also sending those files to the Oneplus Support
Here is the first one:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43103242/1_Line_Messenger_last_kmsg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43103242/2_standby_screenoff_last_kmsg
Have the same problem. Using wi-fi -> reboot. Don't know how to fix this defect. I hope a solution will be found
Had a random reboot while browsing chrome. I was scrolling down the page and received a text at the same time when my screen froze. After freezing for a few seconds, it rebooted itself. I tried getting the last_kmsg but it tells me that it isn't found. The code I used was: "su" followed with "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg.txt" in terminal emulator. Let me know if there is anything else I can do. Thanks!
I have also problems with chome beta browser. I get freezes. Is this issus only with chrome or with all browers?

I have the same problem. I have searched and searched but been unable to find any way to access Recents. Long pressing the home key does nothing. I also tried the Recently app but could not figure out how to get it to activate.
pretty awesome !
after flashing "Slim-skyrocket-5.1.1.alpha.0.3-UNOFFICIAL-20150607-0208" I keep asking myself "why my battery is not draining" It's like -0.5%/hr during deep sleep.

Not sure. Maybe stock video player doesn't support that video format.
Try MX player and tell me which video format is not working? Oh boy ! ?

SlimLP - Skyrocket
Hey everyone. I am currently 20150607-0208 version. I am thinking of switching to the latest version with the F2FS support. I need guidance on how to install this specific rom. Just need to confirm few things. So i wipe date and cache to F2FS and i wipe dalvik cache and system in the normal way we usually do? Then I flash rom and gapps? Thats it?

Format /data and /cache to F2FS. Then wipe /system and /dalvik (yes, clean flash). Make sure you make a nandroid backup first. This will also preserve your current file system type for data and cache for when you restore, if needed.
You might want to wait until my next build is posted to try it. There will be a bunch of things fixed as well as new features.
Help needed. Strange problem
Hey. I really need help here. I have been using SlimLP for quite sometime now. No issues no nothing. I was using the latest rom with the F2FS support. I was using it and suddenly it flashed, vibrated and kept on vibrating. I did not pay much attention. Took the battery out, reinserted it and it worked fine. I was already thinking of trying Paranoid so i had already put the respective rom and gapps in the phone.
So i changed the rom and clean flashed Paranoid. It worked fine for a few days but i started experiencing the same problem again. I use the phone, it flashes, vibrates and then keeps on vibrating. I try pressing power button so it shows samsung logo, starts to boot as i can see the paranoid icon, but breaks in between and the same thing happens. But sometimes its able to boot properly. I use the phone for a while and same thing happens.
I clean flashed this rom again. Same issue. Clean flashed the previous Slim rom. same issue. Restored backup from slim rom. same issue. Restored backup of my stock jellybean. Same issue! Please help!
My phone is currently sitting idle and i am not experiencing any issue. As soon as i use it, after a minute or two i face this problem. Please help.
Help with google
Thank you very much for the hard work and do appreciate it all.
Am coming from a different rom which is also 5.1 and am using latest philz touch recovery. I cleared everything including dalvik cache and
flashed both rom and gapps and the phone boots up successfully. Am actually enjoying the rom but my problem is i can't setup google account on the rom. It force closes during the account setup process.
Re-flashed the rom successfully, as the first time around it did not ask me Language or Google account info and Google Play services kept crashing endlessly. Maybe I just needed to flash it again, or maybe the Gapps package I got didn't agree with my setup (now using Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.5.1.build.0.x-20150820 and it seems to work ok). Thanks for the upload! I have been looking for a good custom rom to run my i727 until I upgrade to a newer phone. The BEST rom I had before was SlimKat Official for Skyrocket, but it's a bit outdated don't you think? It's very nice to see a new interface; really brings a freshness and new appreciation for my old hardware. Thank you.
Also, I am kind of curious about how to view currently opened apps. I used to hold the home button to do this so I could cycle through and kill them if needed.
-Edit- August 26, 2015 2:18 P.M. CST I really love how smooth this rom is at times, but other times it gets laggy and crashes apps after a couple moments for no reason. I did use a custom PIT file to re-partition my i727 so may be other variables as well. Has anyone else had apps crash on them?
no audio through headphone jack
i have done a clean flash and install of the new build of slimlp (nospamdan) having issues with audio coming from headphone jack when jack is removed all sound disappears music wise
