XOS is a new generation Android-based cutting-edge OS based on the Android Open Source Project and Code Aurora Forum releases.

What is XOS?
halogenOS, also known as XOS is a new Android ROM which ships with the global aim to
become a modular ROM which keeps as high as potentially possible operating
performance on your mobile device while still maintaining a sufficient feature
base of nice, small and minimal features that would not be available via any
external feature base, extension, mod or plugin.

We hope you have a truly halogenified experience!

Internals of XOS
At core, the ROM is composed mainly of components from the
Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and Code Aurora Forum (CAF),
with extremely minor set of components from LineageOS (LaOS or LN) which
have been added to source in order to allow for better cross-device compatibility.

Our LOVE to others
A huge thanks goes to those behind the AOSP and CAF, the LineageOS Project and all of its
contributors for the sources used in the development of the base ROM which we
started with inclusive of all the work and dedication their team puts in order to
keep us updated on the awesome contributions that they make.

We will be keen on ensuring that we be up to date with the code from our base sources,
with regular ROM updates hopefully coming from time to time.

Please do not ask for ETA's (else you shall be spooked by Mr Skeltal). Almost all of us are
students, and with the current lifestyles and routines we have, it is not that easy to acquire
time to develop the ROM, though we'll be sure to keep you updated and release OTAs as
soon as they are available and ready for publication. If you want to be really updated quick,
then join us on Telegram: http://telegram.me/halogenos

Visit our website for features such as: Downloads, Information etc.
http://halogenos.org




Although no data should be lost or damaged by the flashing process,
we advise you to follow the following steps if you are coming from another ROM:
Code:
 * Please take a full [I]Nandroid[/I] backup!
 * Please copy your back up to an external device.
 * Backing up your [I]Internal Storage[/I] is also recommended.
 * When completed, [I]clean flash[/I] the build!
Although you usually may dirty flash halogenOS over other ROMs, considering the other
ROM is built upon the same Android version, it is not guaranteed.
In case of performance issues or crashes please do a clean flash.




Overall as a ROM, XOS is very stable. Our mission statement has always been of maintaining a clean and properly maintained ROM.
We take proper priority with ensuring that performance and stability are put first, features are considered an extra topping on the cake.

Maintenance transferred over

Maintainership has been revoked from Aditya Upreti.
Since he does not have much time for maintaining and therefore isn't able to update the device trees, we have transferred the maintainership over to our team.

We hope that you continue enjoying halogenOS, as a new update is coming very soon for the 3 / 3T!

I am curious: Is this Rom based on the pure AOSP source code, or based on the lineage (CyanogenMod) sources? If it is based on pure AOSP is there a white balance setting? (like live display on lineage)

This ROM is based on AOSP and CAF. Not on LineageOS. We have Night Light which turns down the blue level (good for night etc.).

For manual precise settings, use Kernel Adiutor (root needed) which is available on Play Store.

Just go into the Display section and there you can find various settings.

Awesome ROM :) Just flashed it on my 3T....It's the pure AOSP experience, very nice. So far it seems even snappier than lineage...

German included?
I am not sure whether I understood you right, but if you mean system language then yes you can choose German as language

I tryed it on my OP3. Rooted with Magisk and the SafetyNet isn't working. On OB14 rooted with Magisk SafetyNet is perfect, I can banking with my phone. But why doesn't work it with Halogen?
.Is it the same Android 7.1.1. ?

Just flashed this ROM. Nice and fast. I did find one bug however. I prefer to use a navigation bar, and long pressing
the home button does not bring up google assistant. However, binding the double tap to search assistant does bring google
assistant up. Actually I kind of like that now that I've set that, but thought I'd mention it.

FP scanner, fast and stable.
