Team Vanir Presents...​

VanirAOSP​

Yeah, it's got a HEMI​


Vanir was founded on the premise of performance tuning Android. We are based on AOSP, but include features (many of which have been rewritten to be more efficient) from other ROMs.

DISCLAIMER:
If you brick your phone, or drop it because it's so buttery, IT'S YOUR FAULT.

Features:
Status Bar

- Quick Setting including numerous customizations
- Customize clock display and location, customize signal bar
- % displayed in battery + circle mod
- Transparency


Navigation Bar

- Customizable buttons + colors
- Customizable height + width
- Navi Ring

Debloated

- All inclusive ~180 MB –> 60 MB of Bloat removed
- Fully featured LatinIME Keyboard, but only 2.2 MB (normally 16-20 MB), removed tracking/logging
- And soo much more


Butter

- Compiled with linaro keychain
- GCC 4.8 w/ -O3 -fstrict-aliasing AKA highly optimized compiling for better results (like Linaro)
- DHOtheory: Sets up the kernel/ROM the way I like it, then self destructs on first boot, so you can change it later
- Go-faster Axiom scripts
- Vanirice – makes everything just a bit smoother
- For every “feature” there are 5 power saving and performance tweaks

Includes a custom Vanir Kernel

Features:
- LZO compression (which improves boot times)
- voltage control
- sound control (from faux123)
- crpalmer's rewrite of msm_thermal
- force fast charge
- sweep2wake, logo menu, logo wake, logo sleep, home2wake, doubletap2wake, and pocket protection (all from tbalden)
- Westwood+ as default TCP Congestion avoidance algorithm

To change Sweep2Wake options, you can use:
TricksterMod: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod
or FauxClock: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teamkang.fauxclock

You can also use a root browser and navigate to /sys/android_touch and change the values manually:
for pocket_detect = 0 - no pocket protection, 1 - pocket wake protection, 2 - pocket wake protection with only near check, no dark check
for doubletap2wake = 1 for doubletap screen to wake
for home2wake = 0 -> No wake 1 -> Home2Wake, 2 -> Home2Wake/Logo2Sleep if l2m_switch = 0, 3 -> Logo2wake/Logo2sleep if l2m_switch = 0
for logo2menu = 0 -> logo used as power off on long tap, and short tap syncs input on/off at same time, 1 -> logo used as full menu button, sync on/off events separately
for sweep2wake = 1 for sweep2wake, 0 for no sweep2wake

Or echo values in manually (in a terminal emulator), for example:
su echo 3 > /sys/android_touch/home2wake

No, but I will try and get it added to the next nightly. We'll see

Curious, since this is based off CM and not Sense, is it even possible that we could see the Sense 5 camera with Zoe and Gallery in this ROM? These features were huge factors in going to the One and I'd love to see them in a CM based ROM.

I echo your sentiment. Huge fan of CM but have fallen in love with the stock camera experience on this device.

So far is rock solid in stability and performing very well. Seems like every time I ask "I wonder if it has this feature..." I end up finding it! I've been beating it up pretty hard, installing a solid stream of apps back to back, running benchmarks, etc. So far so good. GPS works fine. Bluetooth seems to work just fine. I can't say enough good things about it. I don't use the IR blaster so that isn't an issue for me. Will keep updating as I try more features and let you guys know if I run into any difficulties. MANY thanks to the developers for this awesome ROM!

09/22 Update:
Still haven't run into any problems with the ROM. I started fresh with this one, so I haven't run TiBu yet. Only oddity I've noticed is when running Quadrant, the text in the results is super duper tiny. Not sure if that's a quadrant issue, 4.3 issue or ROM issue, but it still works so *shrugs*. On another note, ran Antutu and it scored extremely well, above the standard One average. Liking this ROM more and more and still feel like I've only explored about half of it.

No. They require Sense frameworks which AOSP doesn't have.

Are there any screenies of this ROM?

We really aren't CM based - we are based off AOSP, and use CM for things like device trees and kernels if we don't have a kernel developer for that phone. Otherwise we may use select patches and features from CM, but definitely not enough to make us "cm based".

New nightlies are out - click Nuke's nightlies in the OP, then m7vzw, then the 09/22/13 version. There's no need to reflash gapps, we automatically back them up and restore them while flashing
