[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Well, there are two areas that could be improved :

White contacts in stock email (you are aware of the issue)

Option to have regular sms app from Akop.

I am surprised that the stock email doesn't work correctly in your rom only.

I know how to fix these issues now by the way. And I like a lot your work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Does the email work with the dark toggle now? And there's nothing wrong with the mms app thats included in this. Why would I offer an alternative?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Hmmmm so this might sound kinda nooby... I have been using this Rom for about 2 weeks now.I don't change roms very often nowadays. While everything else is pretty dang good and smooth and everything, memory gets really really low sometimes. Like ram is typically 40-50mb free, sometimes gets down to under 10, and phone lags for a while, then corrects itself. If I reboot about once or twice daily, everything's fine. I m using the apr 17 build, was there any memory issue there? About to flash the latest one now, and I noticed there was something about fixing memory leaks in the changelog, so has it been fixed? Or is it just me?

Low ram seems to be an issue in a lot of feature rich 4.2.2 roms. It's constantly being looked into and small fixes are being made all the time. There's many apps, tweaks, etc that you can try and use (Greenify for example) but there really isn't a "solution". Typically simply rebooting once a day saves any headache for me. BTW, the free ram you see is dependant on where you look so don't always rely on that number but more on the feel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
Hmmm....yeah that's what I thought too.guess I m gonna have to go stock from 4.3 onwards or get a new phone. Bout time neways!! :D

But as you say,feel wise, and feature wise, your rom is pretty good. I see no reason to change....not even to pa to try out the new halo.

And as someone said,a quiet user base is a happy user base.:)

+++1, well said. I have asked this before, can you please add "power menu" toggle with power off option (power off, reboot, recovery). So, I don't have to go into the phone using long press on nav bar. Thanks,

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Since, this is base of Vanir. Can I use Vanir nightly Kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Not sure what you mean? There is already a reboot toggle that takes you to the reboot options. You can use any kernel you would like. I personally prefer AK but all should work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
The reboot doesn't have power off option to turn off the phone. I am using latest AK is great. Just want to try out the Vanir Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
Here is the screen shots
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Ahh ok. Steve is going to add it into nav rings so hopefully that will work for what you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
In Status bar Toggles. Thank you so much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Nevermind I didn't realize the power option doesn't give you a power off option, just shuts off the screen. I'm talking to a couple of the devs but there are concerns with this being a button/toggle so it may not happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wagstuff13:
I agree that this thread is way too dead. Such a great rom, and nobody will see it. I have absolutely no problems besides my random reboot per day which is more likely than not a kernel issue. Using AK kernel v243
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
It works fine in Carbon Rom, would it work on Nav ring? If not, anyway still a great ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
It would have to be an added option and at this time it doesn't sound like it's going to happen. I'll look into it a little more but no promises.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
In Navi bar, when long press "power button" it does have the "power off" options to turn off the phone. But not in Navi Ring and Ribbon's power buttons. If you can have the "power off" options in either one under lockscreen that would be great. Thank you,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
I believe that is possible and likely already committed (haven't tested yet).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
I am already using long press Power button to power off my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
You are confusing. If you are already using it then what are you asking for? Please be clear with exactly what you are wanting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ac1680:
Reason been, so I can power off the phone from lock screen without unlock it first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Right, and you said long pressing the power button in nav bar worked for that. I then said it was likely already in the works to be added to nav ring/ribbons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Everything is 4.2.2.

Try out the hidden navbar option.

How did you get that score ? OMG

Here is mine

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szucsgf:
I maxed out CPU and changed a few other things:

Max 1640

Interactive

cubic

zen

Multicore power saving = 0

FSYNC OFF

Temperature throttle OFF

ZRAM OFF

Smartreflex all OFF

Not settings I use regularly of course. Just to see how high the benchmark will go. These are my usual benchmarking settings to test a ROM. BTW, this score is the second highest I've ever gotten.

Re: [Rom][AOKP/VANIR]AK47 3-14

There is not as far as I can see. I was looking for this myself.

Maguro | AK47 3-14 | Cylon 801
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Re: [Rom][AOKP/VANIR]AK47 3-14

My impression. The Rom is fast. However I find always 80 mg free. In vanir I had always 120 mg free.

Another minor thing is that quick pulling on right side is not like other roms. I have to pull down exactly on the right corner for accessing tiles. In other roms, I just have to pull a bit of right from center.

I like this Rom anyway. I always wanted an akop with a bit less options.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szucsgf:
Re: [Rom][AOKP/VANIR]AK47 3-14

I'm guessing this has something to do with the RAM: settings - > performance control - > advanced settings - > free memory is set to 79mb by default. Does anyone know if increasing this would be helpful or should it be just kept as is? Incidentally, manually adding up the RAM used by each of my running apps = about 300mb, not the 600 or so that is implied by 80mb free RAM. Could the reported free RAM be inaccurate?

This is all just academic though, out of curiosity. The ROM runs fast as hell.

Maguro | Vanir 4.002 0305 | AK Cylon 801
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Re: [Rom][AOKP/VANIR]AK47 3-14

Free ram is wasted ram. If you aren't experiencing issues it doesn't matter. Not sure what you mean by less options though, this has the exact same options as aokp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szucsgf:
Full Review

I've used this ROM for the past day, paired with Cylon 801. Here are my impressions.

Blazing fast. Essentially no lag, even underclocked. The benchmark scores match the highest I've ever gotten, which is unsurprising since the highest I've ever gotten was on Vanir 0305 official. I half expected that adding AOKP Settings would affect performance in some way; not so. The benchmarks were done with 1.64 OC, Interactive, westwood, zen, 1024, Multicore = 0, FSYNC OFF, Temp Throttle OFF, ZRAM OFF, all Smartreflex OFF.

Battery life is the best I've ever seen. I used my usual battery-saving settings, and it ran 22 hours with just under 4 hours on-screen time. My settings can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2175147 .

Stability is excellent. Two or three time I had an aspect of AOKP Settings force close, but I didn't experience any SODs, reboots, freezes, or anything of that nature. One interesting point is that I was able to complete the Antutu test with my OC settings, whereas with Vanir ROM my phone would shut down partway through every time.

All elements of AOKP settings that I've used work flawlessly. I've tested most of them.

Equal in speed to the fastest ROM I've ever used + many additional customizations + best battery life I've ever seen + stability = my new daily driver. Thank you akellar!

Benchmark scores and battery results are attached.

Re: [Rom][AOKP/VANIR]AK47 3-14

I haven't tried the unofficial xylon. Compared to official xylon: the two ROMs have about the same amount of customization settings, with a few differences, but this ROM is much faster.

Have you tied atom or cyberGR?? How will you compare this rom to that two.i have personally used atom and it is the fastest rom i have seen so far. cyberGR is equally fast and also provides lota of customization.i have never tried an AOKP rom in my GNex. So i am a little confusing whether to flash this or not. Mainly because my net is little slow today so i would like to make the most efficient use out of it

This is really sweet I used Vanir and love the performance what Op said is true best of both worlds here speed and features I guess anything is possible if you try paired with inverted black infinitum by RazerX and Cylon 801

The "application window" ribbon confuses me. It randomly comes on during some games I play, and I'm not exactly sure what I did to turn it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Go into ribbon settings and either remove it from the ribbon you use or turn off the swipe for the ribbons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moosc:
Not sure in features or even what the ak47 switch does when I turn it on in settings. Just found the rom looking in my goo app for a aokp rom. Found yours with cool name so flashed. Then googled the rom and it brought me to this thread. Had a couple rebootes lately and freezes up and the gnex tskes longer to boot then my n7 and n4 nothing to freak me out from stop using it. And the animated boot screen is wicked. Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
The switch inverts the ui. Reboots and freezes are typically kernel related. Since the n7 and n4 have faster cpu's it would stand to reason they would boot faster. Glad to have you and hope you stick around.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moosc:
What gets inverted? I flash the stock gapps then switch to a custom colored gmail and play store apks. Also run the motoblur them. Haven't found a use for the ribbon. But do hope holo heads gets kanged soon that was a cool feature just didn't like PA so came back to aokp.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
If you use a theme it likely overrides the inverted items. Like it says in the op, use slim gapps if you want inverted. Don't hold your breath on halo.

Hi, I seldom post here nowadays but just wanted to let dev know that I'm so satisfied with this Rom. That it took me over a month before updating to latest one. Been using it since v3-14.My previous one was 4-8 version. Excellent work still.

Good to here MBQ_ is here also. Good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grantith:
This rom is absolutely incredible. Thanks for all your hard work on it!

I was using CyberGR for months 'cause of it's speed and customizations. It started getting unstable after a lack of updates so I tried a variety of other roms. Totally unimpressed. Other roms either had great features but were slow and laggy, or they were barebones and fast. This rom has it all. It's incredibly quick, smooth, stable with excellent customizations that actually work. All I added was Xposed for per app dpi, and it's perfection. Very impressed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
on the latest 5-6 version, camera doesn't seem to be working properly.

the camera app is that part of the rom package or gapps package?

it doesn't force close but the shutter button is kind of broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Depends on your gapps package
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrm43:
Everything is working on mine. Used the latest gapps on goo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
i am using recommended slim gapps.

If I use the offiicial on goo, would that interfere with the invert function?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] B@je:
I'll like to know also I'm having the the same problem with the camera the shutter is unresponsive at times at other times it's the settings and other times it's the touch to focus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
The camera issue is known and hopefully fixed. It's straight from cm and they've committed and reverted a number of things lately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noshet:
thanks..in the meantime, if i would like to change the camera from others, which .apk should i grab?

Also, on AK47 ver. 5-6, keyboard gesture typing...where I drag my fingers to type, is not working. anyone confirm this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
i just flashed the 20130301 signed gapps from goo and the camera issue seems to be fixed.

the rom built-in invert function doesn't seem to be affected.

Fantastic update. Dark ak-47 mode is great with slims gapps. Gchat (talk) app in dark mode could use a little cleaning up. Also, I'm partial to the aokp icon on the audio controlled camera timer over CM's but everything else looks and runs great. Thank you.

Gapps work fine.

Is there a way to have cm camera options and photosphere in the same gallery.apk?

Or maybe have both cameras?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Sure you can push both gallery2.apk and googlegallery (or whatever its called) to system/apps. You'll end up with 2 cameras and galleries and I'm not sure how easy it would be to tell them apart but it's certainly possible. It is not possible to have them in one apk as photosphere is closed source.

I've downloaded this, checked the md5 and reflashed this rom 3 times after wiping the system and factory reset and every single time, I cannot get the radio to get cell signal or data. I've tried reflashing other AOKP roms immediately after with no issues with the radio. Anyone know what might be going on?

Thoughts on having CM's trebuchet launcher as default in lieu of Launcher2? Also next build will be built with GCC 4.8 (can't personally tell a difference but why not) and will also have some changes to the theme chooser. The theme chooser changes MAY require you to clean flash. Just a warning.

Lol :D, just a thought could you check out the Axiom rom. I don't know what they did but its fast as f**k and the memory management is top notch it seems the aokp has become a bit of a memory hog lately (well at least to me) and axiom had some cherry picks from akop or using akop as the base i didn't check though. I just thought you could check it out and see what they did and if it's any use to you, If you dont mind me asking. Oh yea they are using the new toolchain as well

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Agreed. My goal was to find something that used less RAM though. Really the only 2 features I need are ability to hide dock and remove search widget. Unfortunately I can't seem to find something light with those options nor can I find anything on github about hidden dock to bring into Launcher2. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noshet:
Hi akellar...thanks for your rom...it is really great for speed and features!

I ran into an issue though, with the phone dialer t9 function. Sometimes when I use it, it I just keeps thinking...not searching for my contact. Not sure if I explain properly though..hope you understand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Makes sense but I haven't seen it myself. Nothing has been changed in t9 search functionality since ICS though. I guess I would just try closing Phone and reopening?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szucsgf:
The Slim team just switched to Nova as their default launcher because of its low RAM usage:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/changelog/312-4-2-2-build-5

From the changelog: "Changed default launcher after extended tests from Holo to Nova Launcher because it uses less RAM."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Yeah it's not horrible. Just assumed that a more "stock" barebones launcher would use less and since our beloved Gnex likes to eat RAM lately it would be a good place to start. Just looking for things to play with too and since nobody has any ideas here I have to entertain myself :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szucsgf:
Yeah you'd think there would be a stock-ish looking launcher that's really light but more customizable than stock.

This launcher is geared towards low RAM usage (and the apk is tiny: 205kb). There are a few RAM-related options in the launcher settings that you can utilize.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sIm5ldC5waWVycm94LmxpZ2h0bmluZ19sYXVuY2hlciJd

You can remove the "dock" and by default it doesn't have the search bar. It's not stock-ish; the design is kinda out there. But it does do the 2 things you said you need. And it's shockingly customizable for its size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Thanks I'll take a look!

Edit: woah thats a wild launcher. Cool idea but the lack of actual pages would drive me insane :) I'm picky lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] szucsgf:
You and me both. I'm happy with Nova.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akellar:
Update in OP. If you aren't going to chat up the rom thread at least hit thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nickamina:
Just as I flashed the previous one! Haha.

Btw, I have a suggestion:

I don't know if this problem's present in the latest build yet, but I've always found scrolling up and down through the recent apps a little slow on AK47. It's just a little laggy and feels like a weird contrast to the rest of the ROM which is so very quick.

Perhaps generally people haven't noticed, but if you've come from the latest EOS or Carbon nightlies, you'll definitely know what I'm talking about - their recents are super smooth (EOS particularly). It's certainly a noticeable difference.

Might be worth checking their gits to see if there's something they do differently to achieve this that could be implemented.
