Super slow Chroma - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone seems soo slow/bogged down. I am running 12-10 Chroma build with the Elite kernel. Anyone recommend a similar rom? I always clean flash..my memory is plentiful. [emoji21]

Unless there is something wrong with the ROM, the kernel, or the combination of ROM + kernel, I would suspect there is something else wrong. Maybe settings somewhere, kernel settings maybe? Maybe an app? It would be impossible to know without more information.
That said, you can try another ROM there are plenty out there. Maybe it fixes whatever the problem may be, but my guess would be it would be a coincidence.

Only kernel I've ever used that was as smooth as my N5 was Blu Spark kernel, but unfortunately the dev has ended development on it at 6.0.0

[Q] cm7.1 kernel

The installed kernel on my phone now is grj22 which it came with the cm 7.1 so can I change the kernel with no problems bcoz the 3g is so slow with these and had some problems like force to close in some applications.
So which is the best solution 4 me, and how to solve it

You can check InterRaven's or Tiamat's kernel if they support CM7.1. If they do, you can flash it to replace CM's kernel.
However, I personally think the best solution is to wait for stable version of CM 7.1.

I've got very good results using an Intersect Reaven Kernel with CM 7.0. You could give it a go, and if it is not what you are expecting, just go back... so make a NandDroid backup in case you need it.
Good Luck!!
Moved to proper forum.
You need to know one thing first, GRJ22 is not the version of the kernel. It is actually the build number of the Android System.
I personally would recommend IR kernel, and set it to run using Smartass. Saves battery, while not comprising your user experience.

Trouble waking after rooting

Hi, I have rooted using Doomlord's method. But I have problems waking the note up from sleep. Upon pressing home/power button, the black screen displays random red/blue/green/white pixels appearing slowly until the entire screen is filled like in milkyway. I have to try repeatedly to get back to my widget locker screen. Anyone can help? Thank you.
I have never heard of your problem before, but it sounds like a cool effect.

Yeah it looks pretty cool. like the milky way. Haha I think it's just a problem with the set's display. I'm fine when on stock firmware and kernel. When I tried flashing franco kernel the problem recurred. Found a guy on franco.kernel's thread with the same issue.

Did you recently buy your SGN? I remember reading somewhere that it is due to the newer notes' kernel sources. I get the same issues too. So atm, I just stick with a rooted CF kernel.

Yes it's only a couple of weeks old someone with similar issues has rocket rom v22 and has no issues, so maybe you'd wanna try also.
Hi Guys,
mine is a few days old and has the exactly same problem with all not stock kernels. So do you think there will be a fix for this?

I really have no idea man. I hope there'd be a fix. I tried flashing rocket rom v22 and got bootloop. Not sure if i did it wrong or if it's the new kernel causing the problem reverted back to stock.

Hey, I have the same problem and after my research, our note from SG which I believe you recently bought too needs to use kernel 2.3.6.14 above. So suppose your rom is fitted with say a Franco kernel, what you can do is:
1. Flash the rom, then after which reboot and make sure it loads fine. Access back to recovery with VOL UP + MENU + POWER, flash a new kernel.
2. replace the kernel in the .zip of the rom and then flash it as normal.
Scared the **** out of me too, I thought I bricked my phone

Which ROM doesn't have camera issues

I am just wanting to know which ROM doesn't have camera issues, so far I have had problems with CyanogenMod and Carbon. Omni didn't have issues, but I had massive power drain with it.
Am I going to be stuck with a Samsung\Stock based ROM?

hi. even if we have same model I9305 according on those i read, it still has difference on camera, so i suggest you personally do a test which rom and kernel fits your phone and camera.

Yes seems to be a fix for the i9300 but nothing for the i9305 which is unfortunate. I haven't found a real stable solution at the moment.
Omni was as close at it came, but had Data issues (now resolved) and bad battery drain.

Can someone recommend a Stock like rom but not CM?

I would like to change the date to be centered and expand the power off screen to include reboot to name a few.
I am looking for a rom that will be very close to stock with a few mods.
Thanks so much!

terminus. its aosp based, not cm based.
Thanks! Can I flash this even though my build number is LRX22C and the termius is LRX22G? I am also on stock 5.0.1 and this is 5.0.2.
Thanks so much!

absolutely. if youre on a aosp based rom, you can even try a dirty flaah(not wiping anything. but make a backup in recovery first, just in case. if your on a stock or cm based rom, you will have wipe data(factory reset) first
edit.. just read, youre on stock. so, in recovery before you flash this rom(+gapps, +supersu), you will have to wipe data(factory reset)(nothing else) first. dont wipe whats in your storage!
You could also try this

Sinless is a stock based ROM with the mods your looking for. I've used it since day one. I'm not really asop guy since there tends to be bugs. But to each their own.
Chroma rom. Contains what you need, nothing more and nothing less. Lightweight and stable.

I would highly recommend Chroma
Using Chroma since a while now. It's solid. Go for it.

I haven't seen you in the thread lately! Seen you posting in the Franco Kernel thread often though.
I have some secrets up my sleeve to celebrate being the 2nd most replied thread and 3rd most viewed thread in N6 Android Development forums while celebrating the one-month anniversary of the ROM release

Well I am having zero issues with Chroma and am hoping that sensor_ind gets killed and burned.
Hence being there more often.

Chroma Rom has the highest Benchmark so far right after flash.

Psssh, that's not what I wanted to hear I want people to come back even if there aren't any bugs. Sensor_ind is on the kernel level, try Franco's test kernel. I also updated modified to r14.1 which stops sensor_ind (using Imoseyon's patches)

Wierd Screen Glitch Issue

My Nexus 6 is on TeamOcto OS with their custom kernel but this glitch also happens on other custom firmware that i flash a custom kernel too.
When using certain apps like the you tube app or waze the screen glitches out into like 4 different boxes and the only fix so far is to switch off my screen and switch it back on. I want to know if it is due to a faulty part on my phone or if it is because of the kernel's i flash onto the phone
Edit: Will post a picture when it decides to glitch out, since it isn't doing it right now

Old hat, this glitch is. There are equal chances that it is either software or hardware related. The right kernel may solve this, as well as making sure to use the default DPI (560). If it's hardware related, you'll be looking to RMA the device.
Can't RMA it since I bought it of of swappa but I'll probably just try flashing a different ROM without flashing a custom kernel
This comes up in the ElementalX kernel thread every so often. Recommend work around is to use Interactive governor.

I've flashed my phone to n6x to see if it was going to alleviate it and it hasn't done the glitch so far. Thanks for your guys input

I had this problem and the only two kernels that every resolved this were Flash kernel and LeanKernel (which is no longer supported and has not been updated in ages) Somewhere here in XDA for my nexus 6 I posted a photo of the same problem, it typically have happened after playing youtube videos.
I stopped using Elemental X as I have this problem with it every time, I know there is the interactive governor to resolve it but I just went to LeanKernel and then to Flash kernel. Problem solved.
Edit - Found my original post with the photo taken.

It definitely has to do with the kernel, every time I flash elemental x kernel, the split screen occurs, other kernels, no problem, using flash right now and it's great. It's never the rom causing the problem,

Actually it is a combo of the two. People seem to think that any kernel will work with any rom. This is not the case. Each room team codes their kernel to work with the rom so other kernels may not work.

That's true, but I haven't heard of any specific rom for elemental x. Not bashing elemental x, it was my preferred kernel for my nexus 5. I am thinking it depends on the date your specific nexus 6 was built, some aren't affected, while some are . They were shipped with different eMMC and ram

True. This is why I only use the kernel that comes with the rom I am using. This way I know they are coded to work together.
Please excuse my bumping an old thread.
I recently decrypted my Nexus 6 and the problem completely stopped. The Interactive Governor solution only decreased the frequency of the occurences.
Hope this helps!

Seems like your device is seriously f.u.c.k.e.d. Yesterday you posted about a not working USB connection. Time to get a new device or mainboard.
Mysteriously the usb port worked

To my surprise the usb port worked with Redmi note 5 usb cable after I held it in a wierd position (pushing upwards by pressing down n tilting left) but the struggle paid off n I'm enjoying "pixel experience" Tim by King which is the best rom for Nexus 6 till date.

I don't know why included gapps and su is a big pro. You only need to flash it once as it survives updates.
Personally I don't think there is something like 'the best ROM' as everybody has different needs or preferences.
Also I am not the right person to recommend a ROM as I am highly biased as LineageOS maintainer.
But if you look at the other ROM's shamu sources you'll see where the real development was done
