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:

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 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!

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

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 .
Download links appear to be offline right now.
EDIT: Everything seems to be good now. Going to download and flash!

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...
min 192
max 1512

scheduler ROW
thumps up! great rom!
Screen tearing fix included?
And i hope the battery life is good, because on CM the battery life is bad

I haven't seen any tearing yet. The battery life is very good.

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?
I want to know what custom ROM I could use the best on my S2 Plus (i9105P)?
I want a stable and good performance ROM and with some features of course.
Currently I'm on Resurrection Remix v5.1.5 and I like the ROM so far but I want to know if there is a better, newer and maybe more stable ROM for my phone.
And if some of you think a ROM is better then Resurrection Remix also explain to me the difference between that ROM and Resurrection Remix.
Like what's better about it? Are there more features? Will I lose some stuff?
I like to test some ROM's but my S2 Plus is a phone that I daily use a lot so I need a stable ROM for it.

I use RR rom atm too. Maybe cyanogenmod M7 can be good rom. Heard about performance profiles. Also PAC-rom can be good too. PAC man is mix three of most popular roms: Paranoid android, Aopk(android open cource kang) and Cyanogenmod. So features gonna be rich.

About CM11 M7: Can you explain to me what performance profiles are exactly? And what are the difference in performance?
About PAC-man: I see it is still in beta so is it stable? And what features do I have more then on RR and what features will I miss? And what about the performance ?
If I were you I'd make a little list of the features I use and the ones I absolutely need, and maybe the ones I would like to have. Then I would take a look through the different ROMs for our phone (they're not that many to be honest) and try out the promising ones. If you don't have the time, post the list here and we'd be able to help you out more easily.
Personally, I'm still switching ROMs around on my phone. Compatibility with a good kernel is a must for me (I use nebula). My musts are a black/dark UI toggle, lockscreen shortcuts, customizable quick settings, notifications and recent apps menu + statusbar traffic monitor. Things that I could otherwise do using Xposed Framework such as custom animations, progress bars etc. are just bonuses. Those things are found in pretty much every ROM so all that remains is a question of finding the lightest and most stable one.
Currently I've got my money on Dirty Unicorns - even for an early, unofficial build, it's pretty stable while offering everything I need. It's smooth and responsive, plus it's feature-rich - it offers pretty much what everybody else also has and allowed me to easily experiment with features I hadn't used before. This helped me find out what I want and what I don't want in a custom ROM.
Hi
Where I can find a custom rom list for our device?
Hello people
My sister is considering flashind custom rom on her SGS Advance. And because I'm not familiar with Samsung devices (I have two Sony :>)
I would like to ask you to help me chose the most stable and fully functional custom ROM.
At the moment she has stock JB installed but it has some freezes and doesn't run very well.
What can you recommend? It doesn't have to be the nevest android.
I think I would chose between SkimKat 4.4, CyanogenMod 11 by Team Canjica and VanirAOSP 4.4.4. I know those are very good custom roms.
Can you tell me if there are any issues with those? like reboots, not working features?
If you say custom ROMs, there is no ROM which is bug free but there are stable ROMs.
Stability depends on how and what you use. All 4.4 ROMs have reached to a state where you can use them for daily use.
I am Using CM11 nightly 20140614 and dont have any problems.
All the ROMs have their dev and Q/A threads, you can check them for the most stable builds and the working/non working functionality.
Try the latest vanir aosp its fast, fluid and stable...
For me its the most stable rom yet
Well SlimKat seems to be bugless.
VanirAOSP has some bugs with SystemUI
Go for the slimkat(final). It's the smoothest, fastest rom for our phone.

CM 10.1

Vanir is the best!
AOKP 4.2.2 by PV after uninstalling and reinstalling calendar is stable.
Wysłane z AOKP-fonika 4.2.2...
I'd have to go with Vanir. Everything just works and lag is virtually non-existent. The only downside I can see is slightly shorter battery life (could be just my phone though). One advantage that i love is it has it's own updater so it's not much of a hassle to get the latest fixes and improvements!
Another option for her would be to stay with stock JB bit change her kernel to CoCore.

More performance = more battery drain.
@lozohcum : How old is she? She want a girl theme too?
After testing almost every ROM, i think that CM10.1 is the most stable(with good battery backup)...
Liquid smooth 3.2 smooth as liquid with all customizations
just battery backup is 15 to 17 hr is matter

Yeah, you should try this. Cm 10.1 is awesome!
I think u can choose between VanirAOSP or AOSP from j.team.. The last one is disscontinued but its 90% finished and 100% stable.
U can choose one of them, or, simpli, test both because testing is the only (exactly) way to know if ROM is for you (or sister).
See all!
Hi,
I am still on CM12.1 and my Moto G sometimes just turns itself off, even when battery is at 60+ percent.
I want to try a different ROM, but I don't know which one. I am looking for a stable ROM with Android 6.0 and up. Don't care for lots of features or dual-sim support, it only needs to be stable as a daily driver.
Any recommendations?
Try AospExtended ROM V3.1 with Zerobyte kernel. You will not be disappointed.

Thanks. But I don' think this is the right ROM for me, looks heavily modified with a lot of cherry-picks. I think I'll give LineageOS 14.1 a try.
Is LineageOS not heavily modified?
I was also still on CM12.1 until last week (didn't have any problems whatsoever though) and now tried Lineage for a few days but I had some performance problems, so I switched to CM13 and that's really great so far. Very smooth with a few improvements over CM12, while I don't miss any features from Nougat
Just post and vote for the best ROM that you actually wanna see and I'll try to make one.
Thinking of:
Validus
Paranoid
Pac-man
Dirty Unicorns
MOD EDIT: Closed at OP's request
Pac-man would eat among of them...
I'd vouch for Paranoid Android.
Will you only build the rom? How about patching, maintaining and developing ROMS that already exist for the device?
either slim or paranoid, I really love minimalist rom
Both Roms Are actually Good
Prefer Paranoid
Will Also Maintain the ROM
Voted for Dirty Unicorns, but what would be better between those 3?
About maintaning the ROM... OTA please? <3
In my Opinion I was aiming for Validus haha but I was so mixed up with thoughts that I needed opinions, OTAs will be available after the ROM gets Official which it'll take a bit so will start as always with Unofficial Builds
For me any slim based, but feature rich ROM, so not too sure what ones from the list fall into that.
If its up to date and stable i'll try it out anyway.
Thanks for building another ROM for this nice little device of ours.
Already tried DU, paranoid, and pac man in my previous device. So for markw I'll be happy to try the Validus
I know right?
Aosp rom bro. I don't like cm based roms
Sent from my Redmi 4 Prime using Tapatalk
I like pure roms. My dream is AospExtend on redmi 4 prime
Paranoid
Copperhead OS please
Seems a nice way to approach, but it doesn't appeal to me.
AOSP based rom wiht xperia apps like launcher video music player, keyboard and gallery
Paranoid would be nice to have for markw.
So nothing anymore?
