Can you check and see if the optimus circles lock screen can be merged? I have it on my HTC sensation with aokp and I need it on my nexus too. I think people will like it.

Re: The Orca Project 4.2+ Nightlies - Grouper

Nice work, runs really well and is highly customisable

Edit - when running pie controls with pie gravity set to the left or right and then swiping through home screens there appears to be a graphical glitch that remains on the left or right hand side of the screen for a split second, its as if a small border from the previous home screen has been left behind,I tried to capture it by using the screenshot function but it does not appear in the screenshot, not used pie that much so not sure if this is common to all roms with pie but thought I would point it out just in case

Re: The Orca Project 4.2+ Nightlies - Grouper

Been grabbing this from your site for a month now but I'm glad to see you on xda. I'm a self professed crack flasher and it seems I always come back here for the speed, stability, battery and sheer volume of options. Wish I had the patience for something like this. Keep up the more than stellar work.

I was able to fix the small trigger area overlay issue by going to: Settings\Developer Options\Disable HW Overlays and checking that option. PA fixed this is the latest grouper build however.

Great Rom!
Just I don't like the fishy logo ;)
But that's my problem.

This is such a nice ROM, I really don't understand why there is not more activity in this thread.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Probably because there's no real issues with this rom and it has pretty much every feature one could ask for.

I think you will like it. Very smooth and fast. Could just be my imagination, but PIE seems to run smoother with this ROM than in some others I have tried.

Re: The Orca Project 4.2+ Nightlies - Grouper

Maybe it's my imagination but I run pretty much every rom with leankernel with the powerhal fix and almost always get results like this. And I've flashed them all.

I'm very tempted to try this rom but I'm on PA and can't see an outstanding difference between the two to make me jump ship (so to speak) Any features I'm missing to help make this decision? :)

    I would just wait for the second milestone. DrewGaren said that it's coming soon.

    And he was in the hospital for a few days so first we wish him to get well soon. :)

    Why?

    Different strokes for different folks. Have never liked PA. And, yes..I have tried them.....would much rather just have xposed.
