**** LATEST NIGHTLIES REQUIRE LATEST BOOTLOADER: HHZ11K from 4.4.3! ****

Bootloader


Nightlies
My builds are set up to build 11 devices every day with the latest Vanir Sources. Now I can't promise every nightly will work but most of the *SHOULD*. I have tested the builds that my scripts have spat out before and they all work just as well as if I did it by hand. This just saves me time and effort. I am also looking for a easy way to mirror. Google Drive is just super easy to upload to with my scripts but I would love to have a mirror that updates automatically too. Let me know if you have ideas.



GApps
Suggested Gapps for Vanir


Suggested Kernels
  • Uber Kernel (FIX REQUIRED TO USE UBER!) (I use Franco SM 4.10)
    My Kangs have synergy with the backup scripts in Uberkernel, meaning you will get my Presets for the kernel settings if you flash Uber Kernel over my hammerhead kangs. Just flash the fix to fix the audio issues and you will be set with an UBER kernel and an EPIC rom.

    Kernel
    Fixes & CFG Presets

Changes
As these are automated builds I will be posting changes to "Build Sets", these are changes to the automation process that are done by me. All other changes that happen from night to night are from base vanir.

Build Set 5 (8/25/14 - Current)

  • Unique scripts for less compatible devices and tablets. (Set 1)
  • Added m8 and klte (Set 2)
  • Lockscreen disable power menu (Updated) (Set 2)
  • In Call Recording (Set 2)
  • Tweaks to the building scripts. (Set 2)
  • Privacy Guard Notification Options (Set 3)
  • Power Action Fixed to not end calls when triggered (Set 3)
  • Cleaned up Automation Scripts and Followed proper coding style. (Set 3)
  • Got Cron Working. Builds will be built at midnight every night. (Set 3)
  • Updated build scripts (Set 4)
  • Using ccashe for faster builds (Set 4)
  • Changes to Lockscreen Power Menu Switch (Faster) (Set 5) (Coming Soon to all VanirAOSP Builds)
  • ccache for each device to ensure it doesnt get wiped between builds. (Speeds build times) (Set 5)
  • Fixes to clang errors preventing builds. Thanks Chris! (Set 5)
  • Others?
  • Latest Vanir Changes (Updated Nightly)
  • Have an Idea? Suggest it! I am always looking for new things to cherry-pick into these kangs. No Idea is a bad idea. Just some Idea's aren't going to but into my personal builds.

They have the exact same base just with new stuff added on top for my builds so it *SHOULD* be fine, but I make no promises. When dirty flashing there is ALWAYS a risk to be had. I dont see any reason why it wouldn't work. Just be prepared to wipe if you flash and run into weird errors.
To be careful I would:

Wipe (/system, /cashe, /davlik)
Flash Rom and Gapps of your choice
Flash Kernel or Fixes you want (Many kernels dont work properly with vanir but I know uber does with the fixes I have made for it.
Reboot to system.

Franco kernel?
AOSP Kernels need to edit the Ramdisk in order to be used with vanir because it is a CAF-Hybrid. Uber has scripts that it runs when it is installed to make these edits, but MANY kernels do not. I find it doubtful that franco would. The main changes that need to be changed are the PM Drivers because the Vanir Kernel uses CAF one and AOSP use AOSP ones so you need to change where it searches for the PM drivers in the ramdisk.

If you run an incombaitble kernel your battery will drain to no end. if you look in the battery status it will say that the android system is draining all the battery by keeping the device awake. (Basicly the PM drivers arent running) The way to fix this is to edit the ramdisk. There are like 20 lines or so you need to edit. It can be done manually but you cant mess it up or you might get a bricked phone.

The uber fix I have listed fixes some audio bugs that uber and other AOSP kernels have with vanir. In short it is do-able to make franco combatible with Vanir, but the scripts aren't in place and franco would need to do or someone who wants to kang his work.

Only issue I can see really is the data keeps going in and out. One min. I'll have LTE then the next its gone but comes back within the next few minutes. GREAT battery life by the way

Check battery settings, power saving mode.
For AT&T I use LTE & 3G , when screen is locked battery savings is activated from 12 to 12 .
Just move the white button down one like @Williamsss said
