Default [ROM] [04/19] [4.2.2] PRIME D04-20 [WIFI + 3G] milestone +

Feel like most nexus 7 roms are an afterthought? feel the speed and fluidity lacking? me too-- even in the higher quality ones. so i added the N7 to Vanir's build and now make something worth sharing.


the key here to this ROM is subtly. making about a billion small improvements and feature additions spread over every part of the ROM to enrich the experience as a whole... places second to running smoothly. I actually enjoy using my N7 now and when i first got it I was disappointed because all the other ROMs i tried just didn't make it shine. Please leave me feedback on how i can improve it for you.


Basic features list:
Vanir's latest source
metric **** tons of speed tweaks
reboot menu
separate time/date click actions
DeskClock enhancements
optimized launcher
custom vanir init.d & cron
latest busybox build from source
beats & other multimedia enhancements
current AOKP navbar with 7 hotseats, navbar widgets, colors, navring with 5 hotseats, etc etc
Vanir's performance settings: more BA than CM's, less bloaty than AOKPs. good balance with features that should be turned on always on rather than available to toggle.
standard AOSP fixup features like reboot menu, wifi preference, performance, & auto connect, long-press back to kill, expanded unlinked volumes etc etc
AOKP's quick settings hybridized with CM's and optimized for efficiency & smoothness. 25 tile choices fully organizable
tablet dual panel mode
expanded desktop with triple tap to toggle
lockscreen shortcuts
lockscreen wallpaper & transparency slider
ability to add/remove the camera widget (for tablets and phones where it's fixed)
lockscreen rotation
lockscreen carousel animation toggle
maximize lockscreen widgets by default
hide lockscreen keyhints by default
contact list view (port from CM7)
quiet hours
optimized keyboard (removed research logging and bloat. was 23mb now is 2.4 mb)
A-GPS toggle reenabled so you don't HAVE to waste battery life on it as AOSP apparently wanted to force it to be on all the time
NFC polling mode
bluetooth map profile for compatibility with cars etc
theme chooser which includes an inverted theme (choices FTW)
beats drivers merged with DOLBY/SRS mobile for 5.1 beats with ambient effect abilities (patched through an edited DSPmanager)
boosted volume slightly
the standard statusbar mods like clock position, and different types of batteries with percents
LCD density changer with mods so stuff is still centered properly
navigation bar and statusbar transparency (next build)
volume rocker wake
volume rocker music controls
multitude of subtle UI changes and improvements
multitude of integrated usability features (try the stock browser for example with restore tabs and other advanced options)


Instructions:

flash a gapps <-- i don't have one made for tablets yet but i've used Eclipse's successfully

What the difference in the two files? I assume we want prime? I'll test this out later and see how it is. Thanks for sharing.

you new to flashing custom ROMs?


every time you change ROMs you should factory reset. it will keep your sdcard contents. as far as saved games it probably depends on the developer that made the game but it should hang on to them.
