[ROM]{4.3_r2.3}(Linaro optimized) Commotio/Vanir - B59 9/18/13

[DHO]

It has been some time since I posted on XDA. But I think it is finally time to post some of my ROMs here.

What is Commotio? I am a member of the Vanir development team, and this is my personal take on Vanir. It includes different features, scripts, and themes.

I'm assuming this includes gapps since it's not listed in the steps? Happy Festivus. May your movie line be short and your Chinese food be hot.

Correct everything is included. Apps, wiping, everything.

If you read the op, your questions would be answered

Does this have Facebook Contact Sync?
In screenshot the icon looks different.

Thanks.

After a month or so on a ROM that was working good for me, I got bored and thought I'd flash this over the holidays.

Just finished and got it all set-up. Everything generally seems to be working OK. I'll report back on battery life later.

One issue I noticed right away is that the symbols key next to the spacebar on the keyboard doesn't display the symbols if you long press. I believe that has something to do with the inverted look. I think menu selections for several apps including Chrome are also affected.

Another minor issue (for me) is that I'm not a fan of the search icon being gone from the Play store. Having to choose it from the menu just seems like an extra step.

Finally, I'd love to see more settings options in the notification pulldown. GPS should be there for sure, but I'd also like to see Torch or flashlight as well.

If the battery seems OK, I may keep this for awhile and just deal with the keyboard issue and other missing menu selections.

I think all the above will be fixed in next build. A good intendioned commit went awry.

I run it as ab option. It is not included

It definitely looks like it has a lot of potential and I really liked some of the features.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't wake up at some point so I re-flashed my old ROM.

More unfortunately, it looks like since Ad Free was baked in, it now won't let me reinstall Ad Free on another ROM. It must have made some changes somewhere and I get a message that Ad Free can't start because it looks like I have an old version. I uninstall, reinstall and get the same thing. Any ideas on how to fix would be appreciated. I really like using Ad Free.

I'd definitely be interested in trying your ROM again once the wrinkles get ironed out.

I am including leankernel with newer builds as Zen kernel is was not doing it for me... that should fix the reboot issue

And I do believe ut us an issue with Ad Free and not the ROM though I could be mistaken (all I have is the host file, there is no components). When I delete this host file is has no affect. App was last updated in May, soo hoping it is on their side.

New features or just a kernel swap!??

Gamma

so in the OP in the recommended settings it says gamma 1.2 .... I have a feeling this is not correct... or am I wrong?

I was running Ad Free before flashing with no problem, but now when it tries to open it says something about a fatal error and an older version of Ad Free. I doubt it just stopped working on my phone on its own.

Running fantastic. Very smooth. Thanks DHO.

A couple new features, Quick settings the biggest

There are different color measuring schematas. THe one I use (franco's) gamma 1.2 looks very good. BUt everyone's phone is different. My colors are applied on first boot then the script destroys itself, so you can change them after

I am looking into this. I cannot see what it would not be working. We do include an ad-block host file, but no other components. And removinf the host file has no affect. I am trying to explore this.

Thank for the feedback. Did you do a dirty or clean install?

 

[donnyp1]

Is there a way without tibu to auto restore? The reason i ask is that the last rom was fantastic, fast, great battery. I got a good set up now, but alot of extra work to reinstall everything manually. I dont care for tibu. Thanks dude.
