[W.I.P] Faster Than Light - CM11 Based 4.4.4 (XT1031, XT1032, XT1033, XT1034)

[AnthonyyBayn]

This is in very early development stages,this ROM is very close to stock Cyanogenmod but the purpose is that is a community built ROM.

There are so many average or barely modified unofficial versions of Cyanogenmod for all sorts of devices lingering around the internet and I don't want this ROM to be the same.

Here's how you install the thing:
- Make sure you're running Clockworkmod Recovery or TWRP
- Copy Gapps and the ROM to your SDcard
- Boot into Recovery
- Do a factory reset (unless coming from another build of CM 11.0 (4.4.4))
- Flash the ROM .zip
- Flash Gapps .zip
- Reboot

Here is the very first version of our ROM, as I mentioned earlier it is basically a stock version of CM but it is there if you want to download and test.

You'll also need some form of Google Apps, pick one from here

The current feature list is:
-DPI of 260 from the stock 320
-Dual SIM support
That's all

Suggestion: dont add all notifications settings (Halo, Hover, Heads Up) in the same rom, i suggest you slim heads up, is very usefull for making non-intrusive options like call screen, have swipe gesture, and easy way to enable/disable/snooze it, if you add the option to change low battery popup to a notification in the status bar, will be less intrusive, slimroms dont allow enable heads up to system ui, enable it to use for usefull notifications like screenshots, slim recent is other excelent way to have a non-intrusive recents panel, is only suggestions, i see others cm11 based roms with slim roms features and work very smoth, best wishes with your new build

Thank you very much
I will work on that, I was considering Halo but it appears to be very difficult to implement. Again thanks.

 

[DeHuMaNiZeD]

Halo is great but i consider better slim heads upand if you like, make other version of the rom with halo notifications, you can give choise for the comunity

Christ you guys are on fire! :silly: maybe I'm just half asleep, no idea.
That's a really good idea, I will try and implement it. I do quite like it just it is a bit intrusive. I'll do my best

 

[AnthonyyBayn]

Just like to point out that I'm only 13 and it's actually my summer break at the moment. Try my best to get all this done but I'm learning all this at the same time aswell so just bear with me. Good job for providing all these suggestions though

Just initialised the SlimROM Github repo, performing repo sync. Downloading their source. Not sure how long it will take but I may have to leave until tommorrow.

EDIT: Just remembered about "cherry-pick"... whoops.

 

[AnthonyyBayn]

i suggest you slim heads up

Found the source for it. Implemented... probably. Compiling with that feature. I'll update the download link if it works

 

[vbdss]

Slim have great features, Heads up (their heads up way), Recent Apps, Dark UI, Floating Mode (which i dont know if it is from PA or Slim)

I like PA non intrusive background call which is like the one on Mokee

 

[K3VYNC]

Lockscreen blur, more nav bar settings

Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Free mobile app

 

[Soapy!]

Maybe split view and custom progress bar options

 

[casshern94]

Suggestion, linaro toolchain

 

[GæxD]

Damn suggestions! You need do more slim be better, not use many things because rom will be slow with a lot features...

Thanks for take my suggestion, remenber enable slims heads up for systemui.apk, i see changelog from slimroms and in the next weekly will add changeable colors for slims recents, if you dont add it, please add the black slim recents, the white is very ugly (if you add it will be better for use with cm theme system)

Edit: is a great idea from vbdss user add floating windows like paranoid android, launch for heads up(enable/disable) or from recents (long press for display option). That will help for less intrusive use, and improve multitasking

 

[krupuk]

App Side Bar, App Circle Bar and Disable FC Notifications feature.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I got some very nice ideas from @DeHuMaNiZeD via PM and I want to make this ROM as clean as possible. Nice for joining the discussion though, I'll look into wether those features work in the mix of the other stuff I'll be implementing
