PLEASE READ:
This AOSP is not limited to source changes from CM, Vanir, CNA, EOS, Carbon, AOKP etc. you get the best of all of them.* All features included have been reworked to eliminate performance sinks and memory leaks and subtly improved as i see fit also. Finally, this rom is compiled using GLOBAL -O3 -fstrict-aliasing.* I don't just turn it off where there's violations like every other "linaro" ROM source i've seen listed.* This is the real deal.* Latest linaro toolchain snapshot and proper use of the current 4.8 GCC features so it actually means something to say it's compiled with GCC 4.8.

Disclaimer: Because I'm using building using commits from every major repo in existence it may take a while to integrate some of the major features to my standards. I may release a stock AOKP feature as a beta until I have the chance to improve it but I'm not interested in band-aid fixing things or duck taping **** together just to get more crap under the features list and change log. Also, If you have questions or interest in building or joining vanirAOSP please message me on gtalk: [email protected] and feel free to add me on google+

here is a link to the parent thread where you can view previous change logs and perhaps find an answer to a question

Whawuzzat?!

Installed this last night. No issues so far with general use. One disturbing thing to be aware of is that this ROM seems to be reading my mind, anticipating everything I'm going to do next. I can think of no other explanation for how fast and responsive this thing is! Thank you, Prime. I've been wanting a "best-of" mashup ROM like this. :good:

Like other said, this ROM is very fast and smooth, no lag at all, even If my nexus 7 tend to become laggy.
When i installed the ROM the CPU governor was set at user space, should i leave it there for best result?

Can someone tell me how quickly this rom chews through the battery ?
Questions like this are vague as heck. And in my opinion, a bit pointless. Everyone's battery life is different depending on usage patterns and many other things. If someone tells you it has "good" battery life, they're only using their own experiences as a reference which means it is probably completely different to your definition of "good" or "fast" in your case.

The best way for you to get your answer would be to flash it and make your own judgement ;)

I'll admit i was a bit vague, i am currently on aokp mr2 + m-kernel a56. I meant to ask how does this rom's battery drain compare to either stock rom or my combo in ,,normal'' usage patterns (casual gaming, web browsing, some songs, maybe a movie or two). I mean, there's gotta be some ordinary usage pattern, not everyone is a serious gamer or a multimedia-only user, right ? The N7's official battery life estimation was formulated by looking at some aggregate usage patterns, and that could be taken as the book example for the ,,normal'' usage pattern. I hope i cleared things up a bit.
