Update !

1) Gapps: The proper way to dirty flash Gapps is FIRST the GAPPS then the ROM. For a clean install you flash the ROM then the GAPPS.
-- Why? Vanir supports automatic Gapps restore. If you dirty flash the ROM first it resurrects dead libs + other Gapp taint

2) Any problems with dialer/phone, clear your data in dialer. .


Installation Instructions

Full wipe
Install ROM
Install Gapps


Disclaimer : Use these ROM's at your own risk and please don't blame me if you brick your device . I keep this updated with latest news and advisories as best I can .

Special Thanks to DHO ( Core Developer Team Vanir ) for making this possible .
Special thanks to MTB3000GT ( Developer and Maintainer for Mokee ) for Contributing and helping me out .
Special Thanks to Dastin1015 ( Developer Team Hydra and CM ) for his work and breakthroughs for Telephony and Data
Special Thanks to all of Team Vanir for their tireless work in bringing these great Rom's to the masses .

Latest news - 02-04 -2014


Advisory - Stick to the latest builds . Older builds prior to 02-01-2014 either have no 3G , no telephony and going further back have sdcard0 mount issues . Stick to the latest builds !!


I recommend installing DHO's current gapps found here http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/44Current-DHO-GAPPs.zip

The DHO gapps work great and are custom created , very nice . Other gapps do work such as PAgapps . Experiment with gapps as you please and at your own risk .


Recently I started running Vanir and Commotio on my Galaxy Nexus . They quickly became my favorite ROM of choice for that phone and then I discovered they were building nightly builds even for the EPIC 4G Touch but no one has maintained it .

I was actually shocked to discover these builds . I originally went to Vanir and DHO to beg them to build for our phone and stumbled across this article . It was interesting at the time but the Rom was riddled with issues related to our device
such as broken telephony etc . Thankfully we have come a long way with DHO's efforts .

http://true-android.blogspot.com/2014/01/android-442-kitkat-vaniraosp-rom-for_1357.html


If you are new and don't know what your doing please don't flash these ROMS until you've read through the thread and make yourself aware of previous known issues ..

You can visit the Vanir Community here https://plus.google.com/communities/111378032131473754160 . I'm not sure how much we should ask for help there at this point . I think we need to keep it here for the most part since those guys are mostly core developers for all the various aspects of the rom .


Thanks guys and I hope you enjoy these ROMs

Alright cool, I can tell you that one of the issues regarding the mounting has to do with the recovery. Because twrp detects them just fine on the builds I've tried. Probably the kernel. I've seen this happen to kt before but I'm not sure how he fixed it.

I think its centered around cwm too . . You actually loose the mount when you flash one of those builds and never even have to boot the rom .Just reboot and go right back into recovery and its gone so its nothing to do with the actual rom booting . Think some permission is not being applied in a script possibly ? The fact is every single build after 01-07 . would make you think something in the change log would show up . Also the prior builds work fine with CWM so I don't think its any incompatibility . Just some change that's made it belch . I've flashed all the builds trying to figure it out and Its got to be there . have you piddled with the radio some yet ?

I'm gonna leave the radio alone. Or do you mean data and the sort? Yeah that stuff needs to be messed with. As far as the mounting, I'm sure it's an fstab file somewhere. I have to look.

I haven't tested the GPS either, so check that if you get a chance. it's never too early to test.

I'm working on it today so I might have a build for anybody who's interested tonight. Wish me luck!

Alright sweet. It's building... It'll just take a long while since I have a slow PC (for now at least.) At the latest it'll be up tomorrow morning ^~^.
Thanks guys

[EDIT for those who check back]

Yep it's definitely gonna be an all nighter for me. Forgive me and my old computer. She's a trooper though.
And to clarify I am super n00b at this so please bear with me. I've never even build on top of someone else's rom. In fact this will be the first time building android. Or anything big period.

[/EDIT also so I don't bug people with unnecessary notifications]

Do you want this official ? I can make it happen. I was going to make an official one but I rarely touch the epic 4g now and rather let some working on it have it

I'm all for whatever would get these roms to our phones in good order the fastest possible way . If your saying you were going to do that then for my part i'll gladly be a user and tester . That's the whole reason for the thread . It wasn't my intent to get in a good developers way but hopefully to attract someone to it but if you had your eye on doing this then that's great . Had I known you were planning it I assure you I wouldn't have gotten in your way . By all means say the word . Go for it !

    Looks like the wait for mobile data ( 3G ) is about over . Today " mtb3000gt " sync'd the source and fixed the 3G for the most part and he uploaded a build of Vanir for us to try . 3G came right up for me .If you'd like to try his build its at

    http://www.mediafire.com/download/pr9e0ux847xqrdf/vanir_d710_4.4.2.020114.zip .

    Still recommending http://www.emccann.net/dho/5-Gapps/44Current-DHO-GAPPs.zip for now . Art compatible . Be sure to try the vanir inverted theme and look at the cool messenger app .

    he even fixed a few more little issues in the process . Give it a try . I think he will be submitting his fixes so that once merged we'll have 3G going forward . Again many many thanks to mtb3000gt for 3G !! He has offered to help us resolve issues and he is considering the possibility of being the official maintainer for us if he feels like he has the time . Lets hope he is able to take it over . I haven't checked a lot of the features out yet but please report your issues and maybe they can be resolved . mine seems to be running smoothly as of now .Bear in mind this is his test build and the nightlies will have to have the changes submitted and merged which might take a couple of days .

    Here you can keep up with Vanir's Open status for changes , open , merged and abandoned . http://vaniraosp.goo.im/#/q/status:open,n,z

    Art and Sounds

    Got up this morning and saw where Dave Kessler says " Yowza.. Today's build is gonna be a smoker. Enjoy. " Well I flashed it , checked sounds and they seem fine , then went to ART and it seems fine . I cleaned flash because i was trying something else . I'm betting you can dirty flash because the script is suppose to clean your cache and whatnot so that you can dirty flash . Mine is running perfect with no FC's so if you have problems you might have to clean flash . Give 04-03 a shot and post any issues back . Enjoy

    When you guys update the nightly, are you flashing dirty, or are you basically doing a clean flash every night when a new one comes out?

    Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

    I usually clean flash so that any problems I might run into I can attribute to the new rom and not something that's a result of a poor flash technique . I can dirty flash just fine but It seems I always have some little quirky problem here or there that has nothing to do with the new rom . How can I go to DHO and say , hey DHO this isn't working when it does work had I clean flashed ? I like to be sure when I report an issue that it is a legitimate issue . We all use the same phone and for the most part should be sharing the same base problems . I can't go to DHO with issues where someone is overclocking for example and having a random reboot . If you operate outside the parameters of the phone ( overclocking for example )then you pretty much are unsupported and that's only reasonable . These guys have enough troubles trying to keep 40 phones going with new implementations within stock guidlines

    Let me show you an example with a screenshot . Its pretty obvious in the picture of Commotio I just took that there is no battery issue here and yes wifi is off . Wifi has been on a few times but for the most part off . These are stock settings and that's the stock battery screen .That was also a clean flash . There's been no random reboots , not a single issue for me . Now I also have another phone that I clean flashed yesterday's Commotio on that I'm also observing for battery life , issues of any kind so I can compare the extreme kernel statisitcs to the stock kernel statisitcs in the this picture . Lets face it . yes dirty flashing can be done with decent results but I can testify flashing on a daily basis for test reasons I like to start on a clean platform . Every nightly build usually contains something new and experimental and maybe the phone will like it and maybe not .If I report something I want to be sure I flashed in such a way I can rule out my flashing technique as the culprit .


    My point is if you want to really fix your phone up with all your apps and stuff and you find a really good build that has exceptional battery life with very few issues then consider sticking with it . If you want to be bleeding edge pushing performance to the limits with nightly dirty flashes then be prepared for burps , farts and hiccups and most likely poor battery life that the majority aren't having but there's really no avenue for correcting those issues via the deveopers . Here is an old rule of thumb the developers tend to go by . If you don't have a logcat or catlog then it didn't happen .

    I added an additional picture of where I am on battery stats with the 02-17-2014 Commotio with Extreme Kernal at stock settings .
