Wow wow wow!! Downloading this SUPER ROM!!!!

 

[qkall]

Hilarious... I was just going to make a thread about this being officially posted. I've been running exodus for close to a week... very nice and very original features (MORPH FTW). All Hail the exodus train.

 

[dvsk69]

Looks neat guys. Downloading now!

Edit: Here's the first impressions. Over all very good start!!

ROM is super snappy even with animations set at 1x.

No camera or music player included. Both can be installed from Play Store though

FM radio does not work which is a deal breaker

Phone gets really hot during the usage

Battery life is average. Like other AOSP ROMs.

Awesome rom!
Lite. Realy lite! Very fast!
Everything else you can find on google play.
Thank You, Exodus team!

Any suggestions for screen on/off? Kernel?

that has not been implemented and i'm pretty sure doesn't work reliably for 5.1. (for the m7 anyway... i've never had much success but i don't use them anymore).

 

[hasan7sr]

very nice

 

[neptune_]

Wow nice quick ROM... great work! Thanks

Couple of questions:
- Any plans to have a logo2menu type feature? ie: pressing just above the htc logo acts as another button, usually for menu
- How about including configuration for volume steps?

Thanks

-I don't expect that ever to come to exodus.... the mentality of this build (as the leader says) is in the 'true spirit of open source.' So if you want a feature, add it yourself. (by devs for devs). That being said as someone that used to think i couldn't live without this feature... I don't miss it anymore and it helped prevent accidental presses.
-gravitybox has this feature... but again not in stock

in general exodus is looking for speed and battery life...

Thanks for the reply and answering my questions.

Ideally, my preference is to avoid additional modding apps like Trickster (which enables logo2menu) and Gravity Box, etc. Would be nice to have these features built-in.
However, I understand the developer's philosophy here so no worries.

When ever i get a chance and actually figure out what the heck i'm doing... I do plan to start trying to get features added to exodus (quicktiles mostly)... But really don't hold your breath - I haven't been able to get a build to build correctly yet (all my ignorance atm).

BTW, what is morph mode?

BTW, what is morph mode?

Changes your ROM from exodus to aosp and/or cm12.1

Mini-review

INTRODUCTION:

EXODUS is an open-source project coded by professional level developers, focusing on improved versions of common features and improvements found in the open-source community while bringing new improvements and original coding with the highest standards.

FFS rly? Why U Do This? I just nested comfortably on CM and there is a release of ROM that claims to be superior with people on G+ getting nerdgasms from how good experience is. It also provides new intriguing features like morph and individual approach to community with few devices maintained and wanting my logs . I feel completetly baited now and can't resist flashing... Another one of my flasholic re-lapses is on team EXODUS, anyway FLASHING TIME :3

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

PROS:

• Quick and smooth, more responsive than CM
• Built in debloating tool for apps
• Comes with no AOSP bloat
• Apps are installing super fast
• Data transfer rate in status bar feature (super useful)
• Re-organized settings (easier to navigate)
• Morph feature (read more here), you won't use it tho since Exodus is so much better

Quirks:

• Having to setup hardware buttons behaviour
• One has to setup ring tone from none
• Status bar welcome was annoying - until I disabled it
• Rom updater marks older builds as "new"

BATTERY LIFE:

Battery life is very good. Heavy usage with:

• Some GPS
• Always turned on LTE
• Constant Spotify music over BT headphones
• Half an hour of calls
• Over 3h SoT when SoT included approx 1h or more of YouTube on LTE
• Many SMS'es and much tapatalk

Got me this: Battery was about 85% after reboot from update. So everything i mentioned got like 65%

BUGS:

• Ads blocking doesn't work
• Some weird WiFi behavior, to be further investigated, and backed up with logs

VERDICT:

Seems we're here an we're here to stay. On Exodus.

 

[dvsk69]

Does this ROM have an option to update just the delta differences from the nightlies? (like CyanDelta).

Ad blocking does work just not 100% effective. Is only as good as the hosts list you provide. Will see if there's an updated list. WiFi reconnecting when coming out of deep sleep AFAIK is a cm-based bug on 5.1.1 as it's been reported on the other ROMs too. Thanks for the thorough review. I'll see if I can find some time to address your quirks list later today. It's been a really long time since I clean flashed and those are only from clean flashing

that's been discussed but the devs just have so much more they want to work on (they're focusing on optimizations then features). That and it apparently involves changing how their server is set up or something (i was talking to main dev the other day)

Yep, makes sense. One another major isseu for me is the FM radio not working but I guess thats from the CM base.
