Ps. Is your name from band with same name or something else?

At least once a week, maybe more, depends on life and school.. I have only done 8 builds and I'm trying to get better with each build and eventually have an official status so I figure the more I build and familiarize myself with the entire repo, the more good I can contribute to the Shamu community.
And your last part, very good, yes it is from the band Full Of Hell, they are one of the few bands that don't care what anyone thinks and create art ahead of the curve. I respect that, and I needed a tag for XDA. Lol..

Thanks for this! About to try it and have a quick qn - it will work with Fi I assume? Also I see it ha EX kernel built in, so while flashing do I still get to see the EX wizard which asks me things like wake gestures, color etc? If not how do I set those?

I think it will work with Fi, not sure, give it a try and let us know please.. u do not get the ex kernel manger app. U can install it via play store, and mess with those settings through the app. The features are in built, u just set them how u would like.

I don't mean kernel manager app. I mean when you flash EX kernel in recovery it runs thru a wizard which lets you choose all these settings. If I dont do it here, then in my experience even if I choose 'apply on boot' in kernel manager, the settings never stick. e.g. dt2w, if I set it while flashing it works every time, otherwise I have to open the setting app every boot and again set it.

Hope that makes sense? I'm sure there's some file thats being written maybe init.d scripts etc.

I know what u are saying. U do not have that setup wiz within the ROM, every feature and option is just in built and u can use that ex kernel manager to set those settings as u would have when u do a standalone ex kernel install with the wizard. It will work this time, cuz the ROM was compiled together with the ex kernel source code and the rom itself.it is built with them all in there. Just try it and u will see what I mean.. paid version of the app btw..

Update: any settings u adjust or change within the ex kernel manager app to turn on or off fast charge, double tap to wake etc, they all can be set, then tap the power looking button to turn on and then they are set. I tested this with a couple reboots to be sure. They stick and are working great. Wavesdashdoc has some settings listed on his rom repo, that may benefit as well. For now I am personally just running default and everything is running perfectly....

The ROM is great. Running since last night after a clean flash. One bug I've found so far is that the volume down key does not lower the ring volume and does not enter DND mode. Instead it lowers the media volume. I've checked the button settings and they are correct. Also the phone got a little laggy at some point today and I rebooted.

Thanks, I am glad you like it. Couple things that may help you out, The volume key being for the media volume is a setting. Go to settings/screwd settings/system/buttons/ Turn off "volume keys control media volume" and turn on "do not disturb switch"( this will allow you to show DND when hitting vol down..hold it and it will turn it on).. this fixes both of your issues. About lag, that must be some app you are using. I have been using the Rom for the past 2 months and chose to build this specific rom because of the zero lag. So i am not sure other than maybe user apps, old gapps, or maybe u changed the default kernel settings to try to improve the performance and messed up the default config by mistake... I built with EX Kernel's newest source because it has so many inbuilt features and in my opinion is a flawless kernel. So, any suggestion i would gladly look into for you but on your end i ask that you please document what running services you have and when and under what circumstances the lag occurs. That way i can better help. Additionally, i do not condone the use of Xposed b/c the lag/performance drop resulting from it. That is another possibility.

Thanks for the quick response! I followed your advice and got the volume button thing sorted out. I didn't root until today, I changed the ex cpu governor to ex instead of interactive that's the default one as I find ex provides better performance... I'll let u know if the lag appears again and under what conditions

Rom is fantastic. Fast, great battery life, Viper, Maps, You Tube, Netflix all working. Bluetooth connection to watch is very good.
Question: I have jump to camera with power button on. When I changed the bottom right lock screen shortcut to messaging and double press the power button with the screen off it opens up messaging instead of the camera. Is this intended? First time I have seen this behavior.

Thanks

Thanks that means a lot. Ok so the past few mins I have been trying to replicate your issue. I have to mess with it some more, but I got it to do what u said. I think the gesture for power2x=camera, only works like it's supposed to if the bottom default lockscreen apps are left at default. When we changed them, it modifies the power2x=camera gesture to match the new default app that has now replaced the camera. I got it to gesture and open 3 different apps I set as my bottom right default. So it's kinda a bug, and nice catch I don't miss much and missed it..lol. but I will ask the team if they know if I can fix it, or not. Worst case, I remove that jump feature or at least set it up a bit differently so doesn't have unintended results. It should maybe just say hold the power button to shortcut to your bottom designated application...Sorry if it "screwed" up your intended shortcut..(pun intended..screw'd) har har..
