This ROM is great I really like it. What is the sprint icon in left of status bar and how to remove it. Also is this ROM going to get updates? I love the boot and shut down animations. Still playing with it. So far its a beast.

Does it have the "Ok google crackle" either when you say "Ok google" or press the mic the tone after the fact crackles on lots of AOSP roms.?

I'm so glad it's working for you. I'll be updating my phone weekly and posting updates here for everyone.

That's the new status bar carrier logo. You can hide it in the carrier label section.

I flashed this ROM this morning and like it a lot so far. Nice customization options, no force closes; seems solid. I installed xposed and have Greenify, xgels, and App Settings running without issue. Bluetooth connected to the vehicle 1st try. I'll let it sit for a day and report back.

Thanks for the new ROM!

So far running it for about an hour+, really nice, I love all the customization and options you can do, running really smooth. Still running stock kernel have not tried to flash Agni yet, will do but like running the rom on stock before switching over. Really nice work on this, keep it up! Thanks

Anytime I start changing kernels it makes it unreliable. I'd say stick with stock if possible.

The only kernel I have tried was plasma omni version but sometimes the screen won't wake up and it freezes in deep sleep draining the battery etc.

Running Smooth... 1-issue but it may just be my phone

I'm liking all the customization and options!

So far, my GPS is the only issue, but it's been an issue on a couple other Roms... Including TW. I'll have to dig and find out if there's any fixes.

I may have to flash a couple more Roms to try and narrow down if my GPS issue is software or hardware based (hardware I'm starting to suspect), but once resolved.. this can definitely be my daily driver. Great Work!

Question, those int scripts, battery tweaks, speedy, file speed up boot, screen tweaks, are those are presets so you just enable them and the scripts will run and do there thing? Are any tested or proven to improve,? J/w really, was going to run plain for a few days, then maybe start enabling them to see if anything improves.

Confirmed for those who can't stand the Google Now Audio Crackle. It's present in the rom. Sigh...:(

Thanks for the rom though. Everything else seems solid except for the Sprint Logo in the status bar but the can be turned off.

Is it possible to fix? What ROM has it working without the crackle.

Working Correctly for Google Now Tone
OMNI, Gummy, and Carbon, Unofficial AOKP, Stock Roms

Not Working Correctly for Google Now Tone
Pacman, CM11, Official AOKP, Official/Unofficial Dirty Unicorns, Vanir

It has to do with the device/vender trees some how. I am not a builder but I know my stuff inside and out of roms. I have tried replacing files related to audio for months from OMNI to lets say roms like CM11 and it still does it. Audio out of every other app working fine. It's just the tone to let you know to start speaking.

While very minor to some. This drives me insane as I use it daily. I'm willing to try and help fix it for sure. This rom is super sweet other than this.

Thanks for this! Nearly flipped out when I saw this last night as I was returning to stock, rooting and was looking for something fresh to flash. I ran the official builds a few months back and ran a port from GT7105. Hope to stay on this for awhile. You may want to add a mention in the OP about the carrier logo. It only showed as empty space for me and I thought that everything was just shifted to the right for that reason.

I've been looking and looking. Can't find any info on that Google Search tone. If I had an idea what to fix in the ROM I could possibly build it. I plan to keep looking. If you find anything let me know.
