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.

- For every 1 user settings there are 5 power saving + performance tweaks tweaks

Off chance but is this odexed? And I assume similar bugs as other aosp thus far no camera ? Love the idea of a rom for your kernel instead of vice versa. Great job

@GuneetAtwal

Did anyone on the team give you permission to post this thread? I know I didn't. I know nuclearmistake didn't. Also, I noticed you've only listed yourself in the contributors section. What exactly is your gerrit name and what have you contributed to this ROM?

I'm not trying to be rude, we appreciate your support in the forums and all but in the interest of keeping things standardized and professional we have guidelines that need to be followed. You need to contact me.

I see that you did ask. My bad I woke up and went right to work. You're welcome to help maintain and contribute for the device. Nuclearmistake will be also. Since he's a core developer for the ROM you'll have to collaborate on changes but feel free to submit anything to our review vaniraosp.goo.im. For now I'd appreciate it if you added unofficial to the thread title and listed the actual developers in the credits. The way you have it makes it look like you put the ROM together.

With vanir it's not necessary to make your own builds. We have a built-in updater and nuke compiles nightlies for all the devices every day. We handle it this way so maintainers can spend more time testing and actually contributing to make the ROM better. If you want to start contributing we'd like to have you on board. Message me on hangouts and I'll invite you to our developer chat.

First off, love Vanir, it's always incredibly smooth.

*Working List*
Damn near everything and same thing as CM/AOKP/Carbon

*Not Wroking*
Camera
recents key
haptic

All in all its the same thing as others at this point in time but Vanir in my opinion is running the smoothest right now. I had a short bit of lag on startup but it was gone before set up was over. LTE is working and its running nice, with how small the not working is this is my new daily driver and flashing new ones as they come in.
