[ROM] VanirAOSP [official] [nightlies] [4.4.2] GCC4.8 Linaro+ART optimizations

Vanir was founded on the premise of performance tuning Android. We are based on AOSP, but include features (many of which have been rewritten to be more efficient) from other ROMs.

Our webkit, chromium, and skia are aosp/master merged with codeaurora, with linaro fixes on top.

BY LINARO, I MEAN GLOBAL "-O3 -fstrict-aliasing".... we didn't just switch toolchains. Here at Team Vanir, WE GO HARD.


Features
stock mode - ability revert to stock AOSP code with the exception of a few custom features we chose to keep active
enhanced performance.. longer uptime with less slowdown
custom written CRON and init.d.
UI and graphics improvements
custom navbar, navring, and hardware key features
improved notification handling (active display & halo are in review also)
usability improvements like power reboot menu and sound
animation control
Improved Vanir keyboard
CM's profiles & quicksettings
additional quicksetting tiles
immersive mode
statusbar mods
clock & battery mods
lockscreen blur and other mods
soon to come -> quick cam and flash notifications

There you have it, a beta VanirAOSP build...note that libril.so which is compiled from sources is still not working (outgoing calls get stalled), so using a prebuilt one...and therefore the ROM is fully functional...hoping to get this sorted out and have it official...and again, no ETAs, bug report with logs and no bug reports when on ART...

Exactly!!! :highfive:

And by the way I installed it and am pretty happy with this ROM.

I had one bug though:-
When I captured a pic, viewed it and hit the back button, the camera crashed!

Overall, really nice, much better than slimrom 4.4.2 v2.3......

Will keep reporting the goodies!!! Thanks!:good:



Ya kelvin, even the flames look so fake!!

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

New build up...the bootanimation.zip is only less than 1MB, so it's bugged...
