No worries

Nice Rom,
I have installed this and it is verry fast and battery friendly
But time to time I had a little lag.
But all other runs great
Thanks for your good work!
Edit: can do you recommend an other kernel like Franco or m-kernel?

No lag here... What kind of battery life are you getting? Is it really that much better than the others?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

i had test idle for 16 hours and lose 4% of Battery. I think it is very good
with sync and WLAN on.
at the moment i test m-kernel with this ROM.

!
how could this thread be so dead??? This is by far the best rom for Nexus 7 as far as performance and battery life goes. I use this rom with Franco's kernel and I get over seven and a half hours of screen on time.
I also use this from on my HTC One S and has never turned me down
thanks for your great work Tim!!!

I have a nexus 7 and a htc one s
To and codename lungo is the best Rom for all supported Devices.
Thank you verry mutch!

I think its because it's based off CM10 rather than CM10.1.

Having a problem. 6-25 build will not flash through twrp. Reports it cannot open the zip. Downloaded twice, and same result in both cases. All signs point to the zip being corrupt.

ROM Updated! Check the Change log there is more 4.3 goodness inside

Thanks for the update! I have downloaded it for my One S already.
But the Nexus 7 WIFI downloads link to a build for Nexus 4. Could you correct the links please.
And what Gapps should I use Gapps for the 10.2 (4.3) build? I guess not the 4.2.2 zip?

cant download any add-on...

but ROM looks nice for now - lets see what my battery is saying after the night...:fingers-crossed:

Been using this for couples hours and everything is solid and smooth, battery are very good. great rom .

Yes, a Stripped down version of gapps is included.

I can't get this rom to work with any of the kernels for aokp, anyone got that working?
Edit: Saw it was based on CM, shouldn't make a difference or am I wrong? If so, are there any custom kernels that will work? I'm getting really annoyed by the screen tear, although I've disabled HW-overlay etc. Great rom btw!

How does the battery compare to CM? Is it slightly better, moderately, significantly..etc?

for me battery-life is way better than normal CM 10.1...

thumps up! great rom!

I haven't seen any tearing yet. The battery life is very good.
Sent from my One S using xda premium

When i am going trough the menu, you can see the screen tearing..
I will flash bubba kernel! To test if the screen tearing is gone.

I dirty flashed this over CM 10.1, I can't really see much difference in the battery life though. But I'll see how it proceeds through the day.
Btw using the boot.img from yoursong's tearing fixed CM10.1 build from 14th April and it works fine. Can anyone confirm the original kernel version that is included in this ROM?

I´ve installed the rom at this moment. I´ll give it a try. I love lightweight rom´s like slimbean. The problem which I have with the most rom´s for the one s is that they don´t get many updates.
Which benefit does I have with 10 roms when every of these 10 roms have bugs and a short live until new roms will be published. This is my opinion, I hope that I don´t hurt something. I´ll respect each developer and rom porters and would like to thank each of you for the hard work.

Is it possible that we get a version for HTC One S with older Snapdragon S3 processor?

CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). CyanogenMod does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Feel Free to Contribute and Help in this Project .
These are unofficial CyanogenMod nightly builds with kernel compiled with Linaro and ROM with SaberMod toolchain for improved performance and battery life.
Feature requests would be welcomed, and I will try to include features if you can show me how to. (I'm still an amateur )
All sources can be found on the official CyanogenMod GitHub. Linaro Toolchain can be found here: http://releases.linaro.org/

Official CyanogenMod is compiled with the standard Android toolchain, wheres these builds of CyanogenMod are compiled with a custom toolchain called Linaro, which improves ROM smoothness and battery life. You can Google it.

Thanks for your work I'll test soon!

Thanks for this. I will be try it ?

Okay here is my review after extensive testing of the ROM... This ROM is the best cm ROM I have used till date, thanks to the linaro tool chain...No lags whatsoever...I can play asphalt 8 on the best graphics without any hint of stutter or lag...scrolling and panning are also very smooth...Please include some extra features in the ROM from pa and aokp....keep up the good work dev...

<DELETED>
Sorry. Couple of my friends messing about.

Will try.

Nice and clean and fast. GPS not working for me, but that may be because i flashed xperience kernel.

New nightly up.

Bacon ROM with built-in adblocker, etc

Hi all, first time posting on XDA.
I've been using the Exodus ROM for my OPO, because it has two features that so far I haven't found in some of the other ROMs I've checked out - a built-in adblocker feature, and a silent/un-silent option on the long power-press quick menu, a la KitKat and previous. Those features are dealmakers for me - I used a Sultan underclocked ROM for a while to get better battery life and ended up switching back to Exodus because I was too annoyed otherwise - but they haven't updated their ROM since 12/28.
Does anyone know if there are more current ROMs that have those features? I'd rather use a built-in adblocker function because AdAway has been more miss than hit for me.
Thanks!

From looking at their ROM thread, it was closed in December with the OP saying MM coming soon. So it's in the same boat as Exodus.
The only MM I was able to find was the CandySiX ROM. But I don't see the OP from RR in the team list.

Just use AdAway. Problem solved. No need to bypass a ROM that you want to run because it doesn't have an Ad blocker built in.

Why is your Adblock more miss than hit? I do occasionally need to disable when some webpages or videos don't render or play properly.

I'm not sure, and I'm not familiar enough with Android's inner workings yet to find out. But there have been times where I've tried to install AdAway, restart and ads are still not being blocked. Then when I try to update, SuperSU no longer has root privileges. It happened on the stock OPO image and it happened on Sultan's image, so I'd rather not bother with it.

Dirty Unicorn has tons of features including built in ad blocker. It's really fast and smooth and I highly recommend you try out latest test build.

I prefer Resurrection Remix. It has both the features, though both of them need to be enabled in:
- settings>configurations>miscellaneous>ad blocker
- settings>configurations>buttons>power menu
Just don't install SuperSU on top of the ROM. It has that built-in.

+1 for Dirty Unicorns.

Hey man, according to the 4.4.4 page, it's PA-GAPPS that are recommended. And the ones on your own dl page don't say what version they're for, only a date - that's why I was asking. No need to be snotty about the Q.
I've got the Banks GApps from trying Candy (which doesn't have an ad-blocker and you can't turn the hw buttons off, so I'm not stuck on them). I'll use that.

Resurrection Remix is based on CM. Exodus 6.0 isn't out yet (will be AOSP based) and Dirty Unicorns is based on AOSP not just CM with some added features. I'm sure it's a good ROM but its gonna be buggy due to CM always doing random stuff in nightlies

What if i tell you,its not? i use to think like this too that every cm base rom will have the same issue but sometimes its not,like the huge battery drain caused by the gps,the developper fixed it,the rom is not like blisspop use to be,keep on adding stuff and the rom was that not stable,this one is fluid stable and batterylife is very good. i don't like aosp rom so can't really judge,depends on what the op is searching for in a rom.

I saw people had to switch modems cause of CM and he had to fix issues introduced upstream from CM so kind of proves my point. AOSP based means it will be stable and have similar features just that everything is made with a clean base. I've been on CM13 for some time and DU has way more features and its really smooth and stable. Make a backup of RR and give it a try you won't regret it.

[Discussion] VanirAOSP 6.0.1 Samsung Galaxy S4 [JFLTE]

Hello everyone,
I have been on a search for a regularily updated ROM based on AOSP. Since Marshmallow, I found most ROMs for the S4 have been based on CM.
By accident, I stumbled upon VanirAOSP.
I wanted to start a discussion about the latest nigtlies for VanirAOSP as there is no discussion in relation to the S4. I found this thread but it is very much out dated:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485089
Let me know what you think!
For me it is very stable, there are regular updates and I have found no bugs so far. I would like to know if it truely is AOSP based as I get a slight CM feel off it as opposed to the AOSP based ROM, Dirty Unicorns.
Try it for yourself and see!

I would like to add also that I am simply just a messenger. I take no responsibility for the development of this ROM. Please pay tribute to the developers through the VanirAOSP website.

There already are several AOSP based roms. VRToxin is AOSP based. And there is an actual AOSP rom made by the JDCTeam.

Hello,
Yeah VRToxin looks cool but it is based on many different ROMs as far as I know. Kind of like Resurrection Remix or PAC ROM. But these ROMs still lean heavily on CM, and I'm looking for a ROM like Omni ROM or Dirty Unicorns that draws completely from AOSP and adds it's own touches from there. Little to no CM.
I know about JDC Team's work and it's fantastic, but it's not really what I'm looking for as it doesn't update that often and it lacks cool features like the ones you would find in Omni ROM or DU.
Basically, I'm a contrary B*****d But Vanir says it's AOSP based, it's got some cool features, it updates regularly and it's working on my S4 so I'm going to see how things!

Taken from the VRToxin thread:
ROM OS Version: 6.0.x Marshmallow
Based On: Aosp

I'd take JDC's performance over features. I can add the features I want to the JDC roms using Xposed, but I cannot add the performance I want to other roms, because the custom kernel in the JDC team roms isn't publicly available.
I didn't know Vanir is still being built for the S4. I saw the old rom threads not being updated anymore so I thought they dropped support.
What kernel are they using? I read that they have their own NUCLEARREACTOR kernel. Are they using for the S4 too or is it just a stock kernel?
Update: So I took VanirAOSP for a ride. The rom seems nice, it has CM influences. But that's not why I tried it. I wanted to see how it fares performance wise. And, in my opinion, JDC's AOSP is better when it comes to performance. Even on the Extreme Battery Profile, the JDC rom seems equal or slightly faster than Vanir on default settings. I didn't do any benchmarks, this is just user experience.
Other than that it seems like a solid rom. But it's not for me. Maybe if there was a way to flash alucard kernel on it.

I'd take JDC's performance over features. I can add the features I want to the JDC roms using Xposed, but I cannot add the performance I want to other roms, because the custom kernel in the JDC team roms isn't publicly available.
I didn't know Vanir is still being built for the S4. I saw the old rom threads not being updated anymore so I thought they dropped support.
What kernel are they using? I read that they have their own NUCLEARREACTOR kernel. Are they using for the S4 too or is it just a stock kernel?

Okay, now I'm confused. I was looking at this thread for VRToxin and it said this:

I will give it a try though! My primary phone is an S5 so I use my S4 to test out new ROMs before committing to them.
You make a good point about performance over features. I just remember installing JDCTeam's AOSP ROM before and of course the next morning at work I Really needed a torch and had no internet to install an app! Things like a torch I took for granted in a ROM. I guess you would just need to put in more time setting it up than you would say CM, which contains many features out of the box.
Yes I set up this discussion to make people aware that the ROM is very much alive and kicking! It seems to be using a custom kernel. The picture below is from the S5 but it's the same story with the S4.

@Steve Geemaggio, you can open the camera app, set it to video and turn on the flash. It's not perfect, but it does the job in an emergency.
Also, the kernel is not really a custom one. It's more of a modified stock cm kernel from what I saw while having the rom on my device. I used Kernel Adiutor to see what I could configure, but there wasn't much to configure. CPU/GPU frequency and governors, some read-ahead cache and I-O schedulers and that's about it.
For normal everyday usage it's ok, but if you're a tweaker/poweruser there isn't much to do.

That's exactly what I did my friend
That's a pity about the kernel. It does seem good enough for everyday usage, but I'm starting to feel it could do better. The lack of a music player and file manager day one seemed strange to me and I find the default browser is a small bit buggy. Perhaps it's just early days for this build.
Hopefully they will make it more power user friendly as builds continue to come out.
For now I think I may try VRToxin. It looks very impressive!

Update: So I took VanirAOSP for a ride. The rom seems nice, it has CM influences. But that's not why I tried it. I wanted to see how it fares performance wise. And, in my opinion, JDC's AOSP is better when it comes to performance. Even on the Extreme Battery Profile, the JDC rom seems equal or slightly faster than Vanir on default settings. I didn't do any benchmarks, this is just user experience.
Other than that it seems like a solid rom. But it's not for me. Maybe if there was a way to flash alucard kernel on it.

Hello again,
I tried out VRToxin 4.0 on my S5.
My first impression, was that it looks awesome. Feature-wise, there is nothing you can't do! It is by far the most feature-rich and most unique looking ROM I have ever used.
Unfortunately I also find that it is very buggy at the moment. In the 19/03/16 release, The default calendar and clock crash as soon as you try to open them. Some features, such as 'Automatic Mode' in 'Themes' can't be used as they cause the system UI to crash every so often. I also noted that the kernel is set to 'Permissive' by default.
I like this ROM and I want to use it, but with bugs like these, I would rather the ROM was updated more often.
Thank you for the suggestion anyway and I'm glad you found Vanir to be okay.

I run this rom. Have for awhile.i believe they have a Google plus page and don't post much on xda anymore
