Welcome to VanirAOSP

Our mission is to deliver a clean optimized version of Android to as many devices as possible. This is not a kang rom. You will find versions of the features you love that we've rewritten and improved on plus a few we wrote ourselves. we've tried to acheive a more organized and cohesive setup to improve the user experience while correcting any performance regressions and improving functionality.

If you're the kind of person that needs options to change the font and color on every letter and expect the ROM to end up looking like kid's cereal box then GTFO. You will not find customizations that are done just because someone figured out how to do them. Everything in here has a purpose and is held to a high standard of coding.


General features:

Stock mode - ability revert to stock AOSP code with the exception of a few custom features we chose to keep active
Enhanced performance.. longer uptime with less slowdown
Custom written CRON and init.d.
Minor UI and graphics improvements
Custom navbar, navring, and hardware key features
Active notifications (improved active display + lockscreen notifications)
Usability improvements like power reboot menu and sound
Animation control
Improved Vanir keyboard
CM's profiles & quicksettings
Additional quicksetting tiles
Immersive desktop <- fully configurable immersive mode
Low profile mode
Statusbar mods
Clock & battery mods
Lockscreen blur and other mods
Soon to come -> quick cam and flash notifications
Busybox, embedded root, init.d, cron etc
Many improvements and new features unique to vanir
Built using SaberMod toolchain
Compiled with graphite, LTO and strict-aliasing


Issues:

Light sensor
Random force closes occasionally

Could you please provide instructions on the best way to flash? I tried
-full wipe
-rom
-su
-gapps
--your kernel
And a slight variation of that with a wipe dalvik before flashing kernel, but a lot things are glitchy. Keep getting message "unfortunately stopped working" for browser and just now opening email attachment. But this is what i wanted i think. Lighter lollipop rom.
Thanks

Happened to me at first, after setting everything up and rebooting a few times I no longer have any force closes. I'm recompiling the ROM which hopefully will be faster and less buggy

Thank you so much for this rom!

Had the same FC issues, but after a reboot and Play Store updates the rom has settled down nicely... working very very smoothly so far. And I just did a quick check and HDMI works fine, including audio.

Being really fussy, Chrome seems a bit laggy, but what the hell, I can put up with that for a great Lollipop experience on the Kindle!

Chrome is fast for me, try downloading the new webview app by google from the play store, you have to go on their google+ page and opt-in to the beta so that you can download it

My favorite ROM! Will you be able to maintain it? Seeing that you have built 3-5 ROMs but don't update them :?
