Welcome to VanirAOSP. Our mission is to deliver a clean optimized version of Android with subtly improved versions of the features you love to as many devices as possible. we've tried to incorporate and improve our features in a way that makes them more cohesive to improve the overall user experience while correcting any performance regressions and improving functionality..

What to expect:
- This is not a McCopy ROM. What goes into our build is well thought-out and not a bunch of stuff duck taped together because we could.
- maximum optimization. We do our research. We test hard. We build -fstrict -O3 globally and include a massive array of code optimizations and memory leak fixes that we write ourselves and eventually submit to AOSP or Linaro.
- originality in our source. We generate a lot of new commits being features or general code improvements. We are open source to share and improve the community but we also try to make sure we offer a unique experience.
- aesthetics.. hopefully in your opinion :p

General 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
halo (active display & lockscreen notifications are in review)
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
busybox, embedded root, init.d, cron etc
yatta yatta yatta
more to come when i feel like updating the op

So I only ran it for a few minutes before restoring my CM11 nandroid, but I wanted to point out the initial things that I noticed:

Quick Torch setting (holding the power button while the screen is off to turn on the torch) doesn't work. The notification says "Torch On" but the torch doesn't actually light.

If you try to flash AK kernel over it, you'll get crrraaaaazy colored lines on the screen (and nothing else).

Camera focus still needs the script workaround but that was pretty much a given.

Image and video capture is still incredibly laggy in low-light or when the sensor adjusts the exposure.

I use an app called Pushbullet and noticed that the status bar is transparent in the app which I really like. Is there a way to make it transparent in all my other apps? I've tried Tinted Status bar.

I'm not currently running Vanir and can't remember if there was an option for it in the rom. I'm not sure if there would be any issues with xposed framework, but I use the gravity box module which gives me a transparent status bar(and a bunch of other options). I haven't used it on Vanir and the gravity box I use is not for 4.4. They do have gravity box for 4.4 though.

I'm looking for a full time transparent status bar.

I don't believe that is possible... I know when pa had hybrid engine you could do that but vanir more then likely won't include that... Maybe look for a cm theme that does that

That's what I thought he was asking, mine is transparent when using apps as well, is it not supposed to be with gravity box? I love my lgog but these things are funky. lol.
I'm not sure I don't use gravity box or xposed ... Sometimes they override settings and sometimes they don't... Just depends on the ROM...

If you want it to look sort of transparent, there's an Xposed mod called tinted status bar
