[Mr. Apocalypse]

FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: What is Exodus?
A: Exodus is my personal combination of the best of both worlds. CyanogenMod features and AOKP features, merged together with AOSP elements.

Q: Do I need to flash GApps?
A: If you did a factory reset during flashing, then yes. If you did a dirty flash then most likely no.

Q: Which GApps do you recommend?
A: To each his own. I use the regular GApps that CM hosts on my Nexus 7 2013 and PA GApps on my Nexus 5. Both works really well.

Q: What is Exodia?
A: Exodia is my personal kernel that comes with Exodus. It is a minimal MOD kernel that is based on CM's stock kernel. The main MODs in Exodia include Intelliactive & Intellidemand governors, Simple I/O scheduler, Fast Charge support, and a few optimizations.

Q: Can I use another kernel?
A: Yes you can, as long as that kernel is compatible with CM based ROMs.

Q: How often is a build released?
A; The plan is to release one every 7-10 days, depending on feature merges. There may be a few times a build may be late, due to compatibility issues, and lack of time (job related).

Q: Is this CAF or AOSP based?
A: This ROM and kernel is based from CM11. If CM11 is CAF based now, then Exodus and Exodia kernel is CAF based.

We are open for business.......

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

We are open for business.......

Yes we are, Build 3 is up!

 

[quickdraw86]

I have been following this thread for a bit, I think the release of build 3 is my boarding call. Thanks @Mr. Apocalypse.

 

[Zwulf]

ROM works great so far. Thanks!
Slim Recents would be nice to have...

Tapagetalkt via Exodus ROM vom Nexus 7 (flo)

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Build 4 is up.
This one is a new monster. I've added parts from SlimRoms, ParanoidAndroid, and ChameleonOS to bring more features without affecting performance. See the changelog for more details. Enjoy folks! :victory:

 

[rebretz000]

Nice build. Like the ROM. 1 issue I've been having is my tablet won't enter deep sleep. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue?

 

[birnee]

great rom, i have been using it for few days now and didn't have any problems at all. Well, except the deep sleep. It says it is not used.

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Build 5 is up for those who care..enjoy.

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Posted a review from MobileTechVideos in the OP, check it out! :good:

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Build 6 is up.
This is more of a maintenance and cleanup update. See changelog for details. Enjoy!

 

[rebretz000]

Curious if anyone is running it right now and if the deep sleep is working?

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Curious if anyone is running it right now and if the deep sleep is working?

Deep sleep has been reported to NOT work. This is an ongoing issue I'm try to work out, but it shouldn't be impacting battery too much.

 

[rebretz000]

Thanks. I'll have to recharge and flash tonight.

 

[jdpl123]

So just flashed the rom.. stable 6, notice that this is compatible with ART but once change the run time still on dalvik.. just me .. also.. not going to touch the user interface because after doing that... random reboots occur..

 

[Mr. Apocalypse]

Stable 7 is up!
I've successfully merged Floating Window Mode, HALO, HOVER, and PIE Controls into Exodus. :victory:

So here's the deal, if you've been flashing dirty, meaning flashing updates without wiping /data, then I highly recommend you not do that for this update. I HIGHLY recommend that you start clean for this update. See changelog and screenies for more info.

Enjoy folks! :fingers-crossed:

 

[aftermath85]

Deep sleep has been reported to NOT work. This is an ongoing issue I'm try to work out, but it shouldn't be impacting battery too much.

[Mr. Apocalypse]
