Ok, the build is probably faulty... I'll post a working build in a few hours. It seems you can't just change compiler flags and expect it to work... But I'm not giving up ;) I think it's time for a separate thread after all :p

actually, i just read on another android forum a guy with an unrooted s advance on stock rom asking for help with the same problem, and some nexus 5 users with a cm12 based rom and the same problem that seems to be solved - temporarily - setting localization on "device only" so it might be a problem affecting the last version of google play services

Well yes and no-flashing build 05-20 solves the problem, so it's at least partially ROM dependent. And the only significant difference is -O3 for thumb code instead of -Os. But I'll test the location thing.

Ok your hint with location helped. There's also another solution - in advanced wifi settings enable 'scanning always available' and you can use any location settings you want. I had it enabled before and that's why I haven't noticed the problem, but without your help those things weren't connected for me in any way...
Thanks ;)

    Hi guys!

    New build is out :)
    Changelog:
    * restored old binary blobs - camera is working again
    * added Synapse and UKM profiles for LiveOPP voltage and Mali parameters control
    * Switched toolchains: android 4.7 --> 4.8-linaro, kernel: 4.9-linaro
    * Switched thumb mode from -Os to -O3 (by @JustArchi)
    * Added ro.hwui.* parameters optimized for Janice screen size

    In progress is the implementation of more compiler optimizations by @JustArchi.. I'm also exploring the LTO and FDO gcc features, but that will definately take a lot of time (but can potentially give up to about 15% speed increase and code size reduction, so it's something worth fighting for)

    Enjoy ;)

    P.S.
    I hope you realize that my subsequent builds are only about optimization/tuning/facelifting - cm-11.0 branch of both CyanogenMod and Vanir is not updated anymore.

    Hi guys!
    New build:)
    Changes:

    - fixed menu button unlock screen issue
    - added apns-conf.xml
    - added Smart Pulldown from OmniROM
    - improved brightness values
    - updated binary blobs to I9070XXLQL_I9070ITVLQ5_ITV this causes camera problem,
    - double tap on home button switches to previous app
    - changed behaviour quicksettings GPS tile - tap can turn location on and then cycles between battery saving and high accuracy modes
    - dalvik-cache rebuild is now multithreaded - lasts half the time

    REMEMBER - after flashing the rom, flash restore_blobs.zip - I don't see the point for downloading 200mb again to replace 4mb worth of files, but I will make available a fixed version.

    Hi guys ;)
    I've refreshed my Vanir build and also integrated my modifications (high power torch, mk kernel 5.6.1) with it. It doesn't differ much from last Vanir daily though - most key packages for cm-11 branch aren't developed anymore, so all that might appear are some bugfixes.

    As an experiment - I'm sharing it via torrent.

    BTW try ART - it's awesome!

    Wow ;) that's quite a review ;) thanks :)

    I am quite happy with this build.

    Really love the complete control over hardware keys (I use double tap on home button to switch to the last app, great way for fast multitasking, long press on lockscreen to turn on torch, long press back button to kill app).

    Yes, that's what I like very much about Vanir :)
    Haven't experienced a low in-call volume but call recording is not working and sometimes it takes too long for the screen to turn on when receiving the call (once it took 5-7 seconds and I couldn't answer because the screen just would not turn on).
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    I just press home button - usually helps. I just got used to it. Fact of the matter is that I don't know where to even start looking for cause of this :/
    You should consider adding to the /etc folder apns.conf since it is a real pain to set up access points when you know that it can be done automatically if that file is not missing.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Ok, I'll do it - I didn't wipe the phone so I didn't notice it. If you happen to know where to get a 'recent' one, or even have one, drop it here;)
    And, just a suggestion, it will be nice if someone would redefine levels for better autobrightness control (they are just off to me and I tried to set them manually like I did on many devices but the lux values made no sense to me and the preview "curve" on default levels is just not right).
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Yes, autobrightness sucks, but I couldn't find the code responsible for it. Is it the same on other cm roms, or is it vanir specific (I'm asking because I haven't used any other)?
    In fact the sucking goes deeper than the interface -our light sensor can output as many as 512 different values (in comparison there are only 300 brightness values out of which you can choose only 26 levels), so we could have something like continous autobrightness instead of just 5 levels. But regretably I was not able to find the code :(

    I went around it - if you want, I can send you the script and if tests are successful, I'll include it in the next build.
    Also, please consider adding some kind of a file manager in the build.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    No - file manager is a 'personal' thing, there are many different and it's very unlikely that one will suit everyone. It'd only be an unnnecessary junk - if someone needs one, they'll get their favorite one :) Personally I use total commander, which I'm not even sure can be included into rom... I'm more of a less-is-better type ;) If someone wanted a bloated firmware, they would have stayed with samsung ;P
    Final suggestion, you could add an option for the quick settings to automatically show when there are no notifications.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Would be possible, maybe someday - I don't really need it. I use Quick Pulldown option - requires a bit of getting used to, but after that it's just fine.
    Just to mention, maybe there is sth. wrong with my device since I have this issue on every rom, when my wifi is on, the ratio between deep sleep and awake time when not using the phone is 30% vs 70% (so 70% awake time with screen off and not using a phone at all), but on mobile data is 95% vs 5%. Maybe you will have some insight on this.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    1. What wifi sleep policy have you got selected?
    2. Check the wake locks (I used GSam Battery Monitor)
    3. If wake locks are the problem - were for me - go to settings/security/privacy guard/advanced/device and look for 'keep awake' and disable it. Once I disabled it for google play services, everything went back to normal (it wasn't sleeping at all)
    Oh, and there is no need to call this build "experimental" :)
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    'Experimental' is the distribution method ;) My Vanir build is by all means vanilla, stable and not to be experimented upon ;)
    It is quite stable and since you are planning to release bug fixes you should consider opening a new thread.

    Where did I say that? I don't since there aren't any bugs (as in pain-in-the-ass bugs, not inconveniences like youtube in the browser).
    But if any improvements are made, I'll be happy to make another release

    Thanks for your time :)

    Yeah, it's just awesome :) I've tried the script from your previous post but my values does not match yours in the table (see the screenshots) and I'm not seeing any difference in the auto brightness behaviour.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    It just didn't run. Did you flash the optional kernel or are you running on the one from rom? if not - flash release_noswp (I'm not finished mixing in my changes to init.rc scripts - maybe sth is missing). If this doesn't help (which would be strange), move the script to /system/etc/init.d and report back.

    Is there a chance that we could see some lollipop love for vanir? :D
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Not from me - with kk vanir set up the way I have now I simply don't need lollipop _this_ much. Maybe when cm12.1 by hasta is more-less working (on my scale, not yours), I'll give it a try. But I doubt it... SGA is a dying breed... Well... maybe if I have too much free time... just for the sake of it ;) but for now I'm waiting for any L5 distro to be stable on sga - I can port it then... I'm not that determined to do it on my own...
