halogenOS Checklist

Although no data should be lost or damaged by the flashing process,
we advise you to follow the following steps if you are coming from another rom:

• Please take a full nandroid backup!
• Please copy your back up to an external device.
• Backing up your Internal Storage is also recommended.
• When completed, please clean flash the build!

XOS is a new generation cutting-edge OS for Android based on Code Aurora Forum releases.

What is XOS?
halogenOS, also known as XOS is a new Android ROM which ships with the global aim to
become a modular ROM which keeps as high as potentially possible operating
performance on your mobile device while still maintaining a sufficient feature
base of nice, small and minimal features that would not be available via any
external feature base, extension, mod or plugin.

We hope you have a truly halogenified experience!

Internals of XOS
At core, the ROM is composed mainly of components from CodeAuroraForums (CAF),
featuring only extremely minor set of components from CyanogenMod (CM) which
have been added to source in order to allow for better cross-device compatibility.

Our LOVE to others
A huge thanks goes to those behind the CodeAuroraForums (CAF), the CyanogenMod
organization and all of its
contributors for the sources used in the development of the base ROM which we
started with inclusive of all the work and dedication their team puts in order to
keep us updated on the awesome contributions that they make.

We will be keen on ensuring that we be up to date with the code from our base sources,
with regular ROM updates hopefully coming from time to time.

Please do not ask for ETA's (else you shall be spooked by Mr Skeltal). Almost all of us are
students, and with the current lifestyles and routines we have, it is not that easy to acquire
time to develop the ROM, though we'll be sure to keep you updated and release OTAs as
soon as they are available and ready for publication. If you want to be really updated quick,
then join us on Telegram: http://telegram.me/halogenos

Common stuff

The ROM is super stable as of now and we'll maintain a clean and proper ROM.

Known issues are going to be fixed as soon as possible. We don't have infinite time.



Highlights :

• Substratum
• Full media support (FFMPEG, video codecs, ...)
• Great Audio quality, no distortions, no crap
• Optimized many portions of the system including surfaceflinger, inputflinger, System Server, and more
• Super fast boot
• Superuser-capable
• Great battery life
• Soundmod support (not all soundmods work on Nougat, it's not our fault)
• addon.d support (backups your gapps etc. when flashing new build - don't wipe system before flashing!)
• init.d support
• BusyBox
• Disabled Access Time for all partitions (We don't need access time. When access time is enabled, it will store the exact date of the access when a file is accessed, what just wastes write cycles (in theory) and has impact in I/O performance.)
• Super smooth
• Signature Spoofing toggle (Support for MicroG)
• Support for trusted third-party WebViews like Chrome
• Long press on home for assist toggle
• Security Patches in kernel
• OpenGapps (Mini/Micro/Nano recommended) and Banks GApps support
• Full KeyHandler & KeyDisabler support
• Dexpreopt for faster (first) boot time and less space consumption on data partition
• Upgrade & Boot the ROM in just 5 minutes - no more endless waiting for flashing a new build
• Very high compatibility with other ROMs

How to update the ROM:

1. Download the latest zip
2. Reboot into TWRP (Please use official TWRP)
3. Do not wipe anything
4. Flash the ROM
5. Flash SuperSU 2.78 SR5 or newer if you want (Download 2.79 here)
6. Reboot

You don't need to wipe Cache/Dalvik.
You don't need to flash gapps again. There is some magic going on which keeps your GApps. Just make sure that you don't wipe system before flashing.
You don't need more than 5 minutes.

How to install the ROM for the first time:

1. Download the latest zip
2. Reboot into TWRP (Please use official TWRP)
3. Wipe system, data and cache (If you want to try a dirty flash, dont wipe anything)
4. Flash the ROM
5. Flash gapps if you want
6. Flash SuperSU 2.78 SR5 or newer if you want (Download 2.79 here)
7. Reboot

CAF stands for the Code Aurora Forum. CAF directly supported by Qualcomm and therefore generally a more optimized branch for our phone ( phones powered by Snapdragon Qualcomm )

Guys please review this rom. I am on oct os. Is this rom has more customization than oct os? How is the battery backup and stability? I know its too early but please post the review. And someone using this rom upload some more screenshot. And thank you @prakharluv you are very helpful. One more inquiry will it be official?

 

[lein_niel]

No customization at all. When u open customization panel u will find this. Lol

 

[zackwire]

Great ROM, super stable, don't have all those customization options like others rom, but that's what I like about it. Any chance of going official, prakharluv?

 

[mattefin]

This is a very stable rom, no lags at all, very nice experience. Many thanks to dev

Testing in for 2-3 days. This rom is awesome, it's light, stable and cool. It feels like it has a better battery usage from the system itself. Yesterday after 18hrs it was still at 40% after a medium usage (whatsapp, facebook, 3/4hrs screen on) with my modified cpu settings (which are still acceptably smooth). The only thing, battery monitor shows a lot of usage from whatsapp, it just feels not right (i'm talking about 30% battery usage from whatsapp when phone is at 40%). By the way this rom is great, i will use it for a while if nothing better comes out

BTW My cpu settings are (Z00L):
minFreq: 400Mhz
MaxFreq: 1200Mhz
Governor: conservative
-> tunables
-down_threshold: 60
-up_threshold: 95

Hope this helps you
