[ROM][ ION ] VanirAOSP [official] [nightlies] [4.4.4] organized, clean, fast. [ ARC/S / Pro ]

Welcome to VanirAOSP.
Our mission is to deliver a clean optimized version of Android with subtly improved versions of the features you love to as many devices as possible. we've tried to incorporate and improve our features in a way that makes them more cohesive to improve the overall user experience while correcting any performance regressions and improving functionality..

What to expect:
- This is not a McCopy ROM. What goes into our build is well thought-out and not a bunch of stuff duck taped together because we could.
- maximum optimization. We do our research. We test hard. We build -fstrict -O3 globally and include a massive array of code optimizations and memory leak fixes that we write ourselves and eventually submit to AOSP or Linaro.
- originality in our source. We generate a lot of new commits being features or general code improvements. We are open source to share and improve the community but we also try to make sure we offer a unique experience.
- aesthetics.. hopefully in your opinion

No its built from source

 

[vashta]

Brightness doesn't work?

 

[kaliyaakakallu1]

what do you mean when you say
"soon to come -> quick cam and flash notifications busybox, embedded root, init.d, cron etc"

doesn't this rom supports init.d yet??
sorry i am confused..

 

[gabimx]

what kernel will work with this?
can you give the name or a link to the kernel?
OR the kernel is inside the ZIP?

 

[BlackGodRaven]

[troubled_android]

some screenshots ?

Here. Just read the thread before, it's already been posted.

@vashta: brightness works for me.

And I love the rom, haven't found single bug, I love the inverted theme, the choice of setting different number of tiles in quicksettings is awesome, lots of features, no FC for now...perfect!
Only one problem, in notification drawer - quick access toggles, if I choose different tiles to show up, there are only few of them showing/working, some of them like network mode and mobile data don't show up in drawer.
Otherwise, everything's perfect!
Im using it with Vatsal's kernel and now my Arc S and me are happy. Thanks for this awesome job!
