Blast it! I guess I picked a bad day to try to quit flashing ROMs! DL'ing now.

Thanks for your work!

Update 10/2: I've been running this now for two days, and this may be the ROM that breaks me of my habit of flashing. Very professionally put together, It contains some really nice features! It may not be quite as thrifty with the battery as some, but that's more than made up for by its look and feel.

Anybody on the fence about flashing this ROM, I'd recommend you give it a try.

On a side note, being a diehard CWM devotee, I flashed using CWM 6.0.3.7 and had no problems at all. I did all the usual things, including formatting /system, which the community seems to agree is an absolute necessity with 4.3 ROMs (at least with the initial upgrade from a 4.2.x, and I have continued each time).

Again, I have to say thanks and a tip o' the hat!

Hey guys,

I just rebuilt Revolt again because they added Active Display yesterday. Now this ROM really does have everything under the sun! I've also included my UBER kernel in this build so let me know what you think! If you are experiencing lag it is most likely caused by the launcher so maybe try Nova or Apex before you complain. (I've only had a complaint of two so the lag must not be that bad)

Cheers!

Ahhh...good. So I can taper off by flashing this update.

If anyone, like me, doesn't know what Active Display is, educate yourself here:

Thanks, Cl3Kener! I might have to do a video about this one, similar to what I did for another ROM. I'll advise when (if) it gets done.

This looks super cool! Gotta give it a try soon... I really like the Active Display idea!

OK, so I took the plunge an flashed this. Running smooth and great so far!

I only have some minor issues with some screens/pages/settings not darkened out with Dark ReVolt turned on (which I greatly prefer):

• Daydream settings
• ReVolt Control
• The default calendar app
• Some Google Account settings

And in general:

• The Quick Settings Tiles are rather awkward to configure without the Add/Delete tile and drag-n-drop ordering. More customization would be awesome!
• I have no idea where the setting is to mute the volume change sound...

I have swapped out the calendar with one from TeamBlackOut, and I'm really liking this ROM, especially with the additional kernel governors and capabilities.

Keep up the great work! Thank you!

EDIT: No lag at all here, but then again I'm running Nova Pro...

I agree with Dan here. Also on Nova Prime. Some lag, but reducing animation to .25 helps. Would be great if Revolt options would go dark. On tiles, the profile tile gets stuck displaying my custom "car" profile even if it switches to another profile. I've never had that happen on other ROMS.
Also, music pauses randomly, then it starts up again (using Apollo and Jetaudio).
Pulled the phone apk from Hellybean to get in-call rotation back. Works great.
Overall a great job on this ROM. THANKS!

With the active notification enabled it looks like the proximity sensor will lock the phone even if you unlock the phone. This is with the pocket notifications enabled.

Wow, stunning!

Been an AOKP fanboy since the 3.2 days and have tried many, many roms but always went back to the pink Unicorn... no more. This is an amazing rom so far, thanks for the good work. Rockin' and rollin' at 1.72 can't be beat.

My only suggestion might be to tie the backround in the ReVolt Control menus to the Dark mode toggle... it looks so pretty black, then you get into the ReVolt Control and BLAMO! I feel like I'm in a Manfred Man song

you HAVE to use TWRP ??? Latest CWM won't work ?

 

[cplhornby]

Sorry for newb question

Looks great from the reviews so Im going to download it now. Just wondering: 1) when I flash this ROM the UBER kernel flashes with it right? I dont have to D/L and flast it on my own? 2)will I have to flash Rogers Wireless modems in order to get connectivity for our LTE?
