Welcome to VanirAOSP. Our mission is to deliver a clean optimized version of Android with subtly improved versions of the features you love to as many devices as possible. we've tried to incorporate and improve our features in a way that makes them more cohesive to improve the overall user experience while correcting any performance regressions and improving functionality..

What to expect:
- This is not a McCopy ROM. What goes into our build is well thought-out and not a bunch of stuff duck taped together because we could.
- maximum optimization. We do our research. We test hard. We build -fstrict -O3 globally and include a massive array of code optimizations and memory leak fixes that we write ourselves and eventually submit to AOSP or Linaro.
- originality in our source. We generate a lot of new commits being features or general code improvements. We are open source to share and improve the community but we also try to make sure we offer a unique experience.
- aesthetics.. hopefully in your opinion :p

General features:
SU, busybox etc
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 etc
UI and graphics improvements
Custom navbar, navring, and hardware key features
Halo (active display & lockscreen notifications are in review)
Usability improvements like power reboot menu and sound
Animation control
Improved Vanir keyboard
CM's profiles & quicksettings
Additional quicksetting tiles
Immersive 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
yatta yatta yatta
More to come when i feel like updating the op

Try using xposed modules or vanir source has to put em up. Anyway ll ry my best. But i am sure you can find that in any xposed module.

Cool!
Ill post some comments once i have both up and running tonight.

Thanks for your effort mate!!

Update:
This ROM doesn't work with any of the MaxFor kernel. @a2441918 which other kernel would you advise to use with Vanir ?
This is purely based on CM and AOSP and I guess there is no kernel available for this as of now. Btw stock kernel is great man. Y do u wanna change?

Hey mate!
thanks for your reply. I am one of those who like to keep granular control over every aspect of the ROM from UV to sampling_rate, etc
That's the reason.
But, i am trying the ROM as is! i will let you know if i find any issues.

Sound quality aint that good. Just like all CM roms. If u need good sound quality, download my SOKP rom. Its having a great sound quality.
