Xylon. A minimal ROM that meant to be experimental. Speeds, Battery, Fun, Test-this, test-here, a best combo ROM you can get kang'ed from FNV, CM, AOKP, TeamBAKED and PA. (Not to forget Linaro.) A ROM designed to be smooth and target to be a user-friendly style to you. Well, we're still in WIP state. (Not the ROM.) The actual fun will begin somewhere.

P.S.S **** off fanboys. We're doing this for fun.

This ROM is really fast. :)

Just to add, flash marmite cm version or any other cm version kernel.

I have tried temple run, highway rider, subway surf etc. They run fine. There might be initial stutter during game load. But once you are in to the game play, it is smooth. I am using marmite 7.3.1 with this.

I don't know what's going on but everytime I install a Xylon ROM it runs like molasses, literally. I've installed a lot of ROMS ever since I've owned this phone and I have never run into a slow ROM as this one. I always do my routine wipe before installing any ROM (Wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache). Is there anything special needed to be done to install/make this ROM work properly?

Yes, you have to Flash a new Kernel.
Go for marmite 7.3.1..

Excellent Rom running with Marmite 731 CM.

Small issues is that my signal icon doesn't turn blue, even if the sync is on. Also, no restore option from Google.

Just flashed the ROM ... very nice. I'm a regular user of Slimbean and must say a feature I enjoy not included here are the power toggles. I know there's an app that mimics them, and Quick Tiles can be configured with similar functionality ... but ... old habits being hard to break and all that.

If there's a to-do list, are they on it ? Thanks for the ROM, dev.

    Re: [ROM][4.2.2][UNOFFICIAL]Xylon \\ 020 \\2.19.13

    That issue is there in all previous builds as well. I guess it needs to be fixed by the xylon team.

    Its probably some bool in the overlays...
    I'll try to fix it later
