To say I'm happy with this ROM would be a massive understatement.
12 hours 30 mins SOT with WiFi on is insane. Mostly that was tapatalk and chrome, g+. I also downloaded a few apps and a ROM. I've never managed this before on KitKat or Lollipop! [emoji2] [emoji41]

Thanks to everyone that has worked on this ROM.

Always hear about this ROM so thought I'd take it for a spin. Interface is really good looking! Similar to another ROM I tried this weekend though, GPS doesn't seem to work for me (with WiFi turned off). I'll keep watching its progress ?

Update: Must be a kernel issue. I installed elemental x kernel, and GPS came back online ?

Thanks for the ROM, works great. Battery life is awesome so far! The only problem I'm having is with Google Play movies. I get the message Playback isn't supported on this device. Is there something I can download to make this work?
Thanks,
Erin

@oadam11 Just popping in to say hi ;)

To stay on topic, I've been running and the previous build for over a week without any issues what so ever. Theme run nicely, although the latest cm commits will apparently make them better still.

Loving it. Keep up the good work!

Good job!

I just heard about Validus today for the first time. I have installed it on my "flo" device, and I'm happy.

Thank you for the great work!

A few minor issues:

1. Tiles sometimes disappear when they are being moved around in Settings->Notification drawer->Select and order tiles

2. Custom icons don't display when selected for Navigation Bar buttons in Settings->The void->Navigation bar->Editor

3. Turning off Settings->Notification drawer->Show brightness slider is ignored. Slider remains, and setting always turns back "on".

Things I especially like:

1. Moving, changing, and adding Navigation Bar buttons. This is the only 5.0.x ROM I have found so far which offers this capability.

2. Changing screen DPI from within Settings, without the need of any special build.props management utility.

Wish list:

1. Allow optional date next to the time in the Status Bar.

2. Allow the color to be selected for Status Bar icons.

3. Move, change, add, remove Power Menu buttons.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

I just downloaded the 02/03 version of this ROM. Works well!

The following two issues still remain:

1. Tiles sometimes disappear when they are being moved around in Settings->Notification drawer->Select and order tiles

2. Turning off Settings->Notification drawer->Show brightness slider is ignored. Slider remains, and setting always turns back "on".

Also, I see that the navigation bar buttons are now managed differently than before. In Settings->Buttons->Navigation bar->Buttons and layout, we no longer can assign custom actions to navigation bar buttons. I liked the fact that I could do that in the 01/27 ROM. Will we be able to assign custom actions to navigation bar buttons in a future release?

Anyway, thanks for all the work.

How much time are you getting with your display on ? Can you provide more details ?
