[ROM][4.4w_r1] Graphene ROM [Temporarily discontinued]

[frap129]

Hey there XDA!
I was inspired by Gohma ROM to make my own modified stock rom with more features, speed tweaks, and the like. "But frap, why is this in Original developement?" you ask? Well, This serves as both a functioning ROM/mod, as well as a placeholder for when I do compile an actual Android Wear Rom. I have started creating the device tree for dory (G Watch) but the current problem is that the Android Wear Source isn't functioning. Compiling errors out because of some missing makefiles. So after I finish the device tree, I'll try porting in the missing makefiles from standard kitkat. But for now, have fun with Graphene! Also, custom kernel may come soon!

Features:
Highly increased responsiveness
Increased Vibration
Decreased Lag
Increased animation speed
Art enabled over dalvik
Many battery tweaks for decreased drain
Ram optimization
I/O tweaks
and more...

Testimonials:

First impression is great. Very responsive. 20+ hours with medium usage and 15% battery left

Installation:
1. Download and extract zip
2. Unlock Bootloader

No problem, and thanks for the offer! Let me know how this version works for you. It seems pretty stable and fast for me.

Download preview 2. That fixed the error. If you did and I just messed up and edited the wrong file, open Linux_installer.sh in a text editor and change rboot.img to root.img

20+ hours with medium usage and 15% battery left. Could not help myself had to flash preview 2. Will report back on battery life. Seems to be a little less laggy than before. Also love the name and thanks for the work.:good:

Not a problem! I figured out that Android Runtime is "libandroid_runtime.so" in wear, not "libart.so" like stock kitkat. The version Im testing has art enabled and is much faster, smoother, and snappier. bootloops are hell. Also, 3 will have a flashable zip as well for those who feel satisfied when flashing somthing in TWRP.

Thanks for the quick updates! On Preview 2 for 5+ hours. Started with 99% battery medium usage screen always on, brightness on max, running battery watchface and still have 40% battery left. Flashing Preview 3 now will report back. :good:

Yeah, I didnt upload the flashable zip because i kept getting errors in the updater binary. Ill be working km that soon, but in the mean time, preview 4 should be up later today. Animations are still smooth like butter, but transitioning between windows and cards is much snappier than before.

why in your build.pro pm.sleep_mode is at 0 ? 1 is best for saving battery ?

 

[demoniac51]

@frap129 : Possible a screen performance of your rom with the software vfp benchmark. I'll compare with my own settings. Thank you

 

[frap129]

The build.prop is the default one, the script sets it to 1 at boot.

Ill look into that, though the goal is not speed. It is smooth animations and exceptional battery life.
