Q): What is Doze Feature ?

Doze is one of the most interesting features of Android M, and also potentially huge for the platform. Google has said again and again that the new version of Android would improve battery life, but they might have actually done it this time. Doze puts apps into deep sleep when the device isn't in use to save power, and Google's developer docs explain exactly how this will work.

Doze is set to activate when a device is unplugged, stationary, and the screen is off. While in Doze, the phone or tablet will periodically wake up to sync data, but otherwise most things remain asleep. Here's what happens at the system level with Doze.

Also theres something with Doze in UI we known it as Ambient Display in settings and other doze features of systemUI are enabled and Fully working also its Compelete with smart Unlocking and handling feautures in Halcyon Rom.

Q): I'm not Comfortable with current ram preferences what you suggest me to do?

Q): Theres No Air View Quick setting in pull down what should i do?
Fix : With the provided SQLite Editor app That comes with OTA-1 pakage Go to Settings Storage > Settings And Look For :

dantopa said:
This is just unbelievable, just installed the rom with recommended settings and kernel, I must say, this is most stable, faster, battery friendly, than the stock rom. This is perfect, really easy installation, ultra-stable, everything working perfectly, I'm just amazed. You're the best, by far. Rom with no one mistake.

God bless you

atsap said:
UI is very beautiful

doom4 said:
so far this is the best rom I ever tested on i9500, its simply great, if wanamlike features comes using xposed that will be perfect. a great effort and i give 10/10 ROM, most of issues normally comes up with people mistakes, upgrading is probably but if you know how to deal with that than nothing is impossible, otherwise clean installation with wiped internal sd card ... everything works smoothly and fine. for google apps issue, just remove google services and play store and install latest. this rom is really battery friendly so if you use any crap battery tools ... that will be your fault if battery drains.

god bless you /-/ /-\ |_ C [] /\/

greendabre said:
This is the best rom out there, and I would know. I've tried them all. v4 of this ROM gave me much lesser problems than any other ROM out there. Hope v5.7 comes out soon and gives at most as little trouble as v4 did.

'waiting' is the english, man

hope that the ROM has optional framework/UI like aurora V7, green light and 100% transparency are the perfect one for me

do you upload on gdrive or ...?

Ha\/0c · May 6, 2015 at 7:06 AM

Well, Phoenix Rom already exits (For version 4.3 i guess for i9500 and 4.4 for i9505)
I think you should consider renaming the Rom..
Anyways +8 for your hard work..
