that means we would be seeing illusion developing its own kernels except the stock..

that's really cool

and facebook home is an idea you thought about??

well i love its transition..

would like to have a glimps of what our very own illusion adds to it..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
To the developer/s of this Rom,

Thank u very much for the wonderful ROM. using it with Faux Turbo Boost Ultimate kernel. The speed and smoothness is amazing. The animations and the Key Lime Pie theme are the reasons enough for me to stick to this ROM. A million thanks for the ROM. May be i'll stick to it, tho there are few things i miss in this ROM.

I flashed it this morning and found some options missing (PA prefs) hence downloaded Root Box and flashed it. But the plain old Black background/no animation Android, I dint like it. So, flashed back this ROM again.

Is it possible to include PA prefs in this? If not public, can we make our own personal changes to add PA prefs?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Pa prefs ( hybrid(settings)) will be added as soon as we get time to do it cleanly and right. No worries this thing is beta and has a bit to go yet.. Next release may have temp xposed. We have added faux sound drivers and battery tweaks to the mako kernel. I also just pushed gesture unlock .. Still a lot of work to do. Stick around man you'll be glad you did.. I wish we didn't have the life thing going on that just gets in the way of android lol and there is only two of us and like 6 devices ..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] szucsgf:
I'm relatively new to N4 as well. Flashed just about all the kernels. My favorite are:

AK Faux hybrid

Joker

Franco 156 (the more recent versions drain battery faster for me)

Nexus 4 Color Settings [spreadsheet]
[Nexus 4 Android Development] occtec:
Hey guys I've been reading some of the posts and feel I should try this ROM coming from CM 10.1 is this a worthy upgrade? I've only had my nexus for about a week now and haven't adjusted the color settings as yet, stock seems a little washed out for my liking. Will I be able to make the color changes using this ROM or will I have to flash a custom kernel, if so which is the best to use? Are there any particular apps to use to make the changes, I've heard faux display is a good one to get from Google play??

Thanks in advance & sorry if these questions come across like a NOOB :o

Coming from my stolen galaxy S4 I'm not sure if I have taken a step back or not, BUT I love my NEXUS 4..

Cheers :)

Just a quick one, with download link for SlimRom Gapps which takes you to download site but doesn't allow download without registering is this necessary or is there another link? Lastly, which recovery is best to use? I am currently using TWRP..

THANKS a million in advance guys, really appreciate it. :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] szucsgf:
Slim gapps download doesn't require log in. Slimroms.net - downloads - addons - gapps.

This rom has many more features than CM and is just as smooth and stable. I much prefer it over CM, but of course this is personal preference.

$droyd$ (the Rom dev) and I both gave kernel recommendations a few posts above yours.

Fauxclock is a great app but only makes sense to use for colors if you use a kernel with faux color display settings. If you use a kernel with franco color display settings you might want to use franco kernel updater. Or you could use trickster mod, which is free on Google play and compatible with both types of color settings. You could then purchase faux or franco app once you've settled on your favorite kernel.

Keep using twrp. Most people use it.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Hey [MENTION=5022537]$droyd$[/MENTION], this is the nicest thing I've heard in recent times. With PA prefs and all the other changes you mentioned this ROM will become the beautiful ROM compared to everything else.. I can see that all the ROMs are same and similar by looks. They vary only by their performances. With our device able to handle more tasks at a time (2 GB) at a fast pace (1.5 Ghz quad core), I think ppl should improve the beautiness of the ROM and Illusion has just got it right.

The animations, I am loving it and I just swore myself that i shouldn't be flashing another ROM for atleast couple of weeks to see how best Illusion can give me in performance and battery.

Currently using Faux kernel and thinking of moving to AK-Faux kernel or Matrix kernel. Which one do you recommend?

And yeah eagerly waiting for the changes you mentioned. I'll stick around man. Your work made me so :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sanket_gupta96:
NExus 4

gUYS tell me one thing which version of matrix kernel i should download for this rom ? i mean to say non-cm or cm ??
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tom540:
Since this ROM is based on Slimbean and not Cyanogenmod you need the non-cm one
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Faux display and sound will be supported in the next version for color and sound mods.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] justthefacts:
Good call.

After hearing your bragging about faux sound, i went ahead and flashed AK-Faux with faux sound. What a difference.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] davep1982:
Really enjoying this ROM so far. The speed and fluidity are impressive. Paired with Matrix v10 kernel and stability, speed, and battery life are more than satisfying. Don't have a screenshot but just last night managed 4 hours SOT with 40% remaining, everything on except data.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
Now done exploring the rom fully at its best..

Now i have become again greedy for new innovations by $droyd$

Well faux display support means?? Inbuilt kernel optimized and we dont need to flash other kernels..

Well thats amazing to hear..im a fan of faux..hope s2w feature in there from bricked rom..i love it..faux s2w gives me unresponsiveness many a times..

So i want that you take the colour and sound mod from faux and s2w feature base as bricked kernel..

Its just a tip..well you must have already been working..

Keep up the good work..

With a new beta release will unpack my papers here for all..too..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] roilosh11:
Bump. I'm asking this because when I answer a call from somebody I can barely hear them (With PA I was using xlouder mod). Wasn't having any issues before this ROM. Would really like to see this implemented here. I really LOVE this ROM :good:

Check out AK-Faux kernel. It has all the goodies you're asking for
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sk8oldschool74:
I saw this and had to try it out I don't usually stray but couldn't resist myself!!! ;) :)

Conclusion is that this is a superb ROM worthy of being used as a daily driver and full of fun to boot!!! ;) :)

Great job dev... Oh and I second AKFAUX kernel!!! :D:D:D

I know asking ETA's is not allowed.

But do you think the new update will be in 1 week?

Im going to vacation and i want a stable and good rom (no beta version)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
The next one will be beta as well.. Its more stable than most stable ROMs tho. Its only beta because of features that have not been added not stability.

Don't worry any version you flash will get you through vacation and then some with no issues...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Lewythefly:
This ROM is truly stable. I have not noticed any bugs or problems at all. It's fast to ;) so I'd have no problem recommending it as a daily

Sent from my Illusional nexus 4 on xda premium
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zlatan9.:
Thank you for you quick answer!

One more question i clean installed this rom but it seems E-mail app is not included..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] szucsgf:
Slim has email and a few other apps in a separate addon on their website download page.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] eefo:
Yup, you need to extract it from any other zip file (Rom zip file)

That's what i did.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] droidkevlar:
Should use the AROMA installer for gapps, gives you all the options:

2.1 I'm testing it now.. Pushed it last night.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zlatan9.:
Sounds great! Do you have merged the latest PA halo source?

And what do you think about krait bionic and linaro optimizations for better performance
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Lewythefly:
Thats awesome, i use pattern unlock for security but to have a custom gesture unlock would be so much better :D
[Nexus 4 Android Development] fcb-1899:
A few days ago he said that it wasn't stable enough (for other devices I think) so he won't include it as of now..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
The new kernel is O3 the ROM will remain 4.6 for stability.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] occtec:
Hi $droyd$, does 2.1 include faux display & sound? Thanks for an awesome ROM!!

Cheers ;)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Trying to work out the gama settings.. If you mean will I include the apps then no you will have to give up a couple dollars and by them... Will I add support for the apps ..yes.it is in the ROM I'm testing now.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] davep1982:
The only "bug" I found was the text sometimes overlaps itself, specifically in the play store and gmail apps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Does it help to adjust text size.?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] davep1982:
Can't seem to find that option in the settings. Changing DPI doesn't help either.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sk8oldschool74:
Look under display in settings!!! ;) :)

"keep it oldschool"
[Nexus 4 Android Development] davep1982:
Was looking in interface options. Changed font size to every available option and the overlap persisted, though not as much with a font size of huge.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
In Pie settings, you have an option to hide pie when keyboard is there. Uncheck it and you will have the Pie with keyboard.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] randomnoob83:
How does 1 remove the 3 dot menu buttons
[Nexus 4 Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Settings -> Interface -> Hardware Keys -> Show Action Overflow. Uncheck if it is checked. otherwise, check and uncheck it. Do a restart and check the apps. you must see the dots gone .
[Nexus 4 Android Development] randomnoob83:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] senthilrameshjv:
Whenever i get a cal, its not showing on screen. I have to pull the notification bar n hit the notification and even then it opens in halo size not in full size.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
well i love this thing

but if you are adding gesture then it will be really cool,, :good:

and one more thinghope if you Add faux sound then you remember to remove dsp manager of cm base

cause it may overlap

well hope you do that perfectly and introduce the apps in the settings instead of drawer

that would be really smart ass :highfive: :good:

we all love to have all the settings of the phone in the settings page

replace advance system performance settings with faux display and faux sound

just a tip no worries if it doesnt go my way...after al its your rom :silly:

go ahead with the improvements though... we all love it :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Sounds like you need a clean install.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
I'm not adding the apps at all I'm adding support you have to buy the apps.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Zlatan9.:
Droyd fantastic rom but can we disable the transitions and get the traditional android one ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] occtec:
I haven't installed this ROM as yet and would like to go ahead but just would like to know if 2.1 will be released sometime soon?

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
so your gonna put a kernel based on faux??

ohh i thought your adding the apps as well

anyways we have to buy them..so i prefer trickster with all optimizations available already

somebody recommended me to use ak faux over bricked as it doesnt have colour and sound optimizations

well faux 's s2w and s2s gives me nav. bar and tool bar unresponsiveness many a time in a day over bricked doesnt

so i want bricked's s2w and s2s source implemented kernel..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
OK one last time I am adding drivers to the stock kernel so we can use the faux sound and faux and display apps.. I'm not stealing the apps and distributing them freely ... Trickster mod does not work with faux sound.. Its all up to you but I would recommend purchasing faux sound.. The kernel will not be based on someone else's kernel.there will be no s2w ever I hate it. Ak-faux sound mods do not work without the app either.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Transitions will remain.. If you want stock your on your own.. There where some people explaining how several pages back
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PetritH:
Transitions are so damn cool, even I was again't them in beggining but now im big fan... the only thing I change is font other than that its perfect.

if you want stock transitions download this and put it on system/framework.. overwrite if it asks to.

[MENTION=5022537]$droyd$[/MENTION] Thanks a lot for your effort in making this rom a breathe of fresh air !!

I have been using this ROM from last week and been very happy. To check the battery life, i went on trying different kernels for best compatibility. After flashing Franco kernel, i had to flash a reset before going to FAUX kernel. Now, the problem starts... usually for a custom rom, we have to reflash the rom after wiping cache/dalvik so that the kernel is reset. But in this case, while flashing your ROM, i think it wipes the system folder entirely.. wiping all the data of my apps ? i lost the homescreen widgets, few apps and after a restart, my phone became a force close city !!

I finally ended up booting into recovery and wiping everything, the one step i wanted to avoid!!! thankfully i had Ti backup of everything so didnt lose much data except for a couple of days calls & texts. But, why does the rom wipe system and other stuff that is not expected from a rom flash ?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tom540:
Shouldn't do that, that didn't happen for me and presumably anyone else. Maybe you chose to wipe data as well as cache and davlik when flashing the ROM again? When I flash another kernel I just use the reset kernel on faux's thread
[Nexus 4 Android Development] krispuniq:
Well, I am pretty much sure that i didnt wipe all, but only Cache/Dalvik, because i always do the advanced selection even if i want to wipe everything !! And, it didnt wipe all applications, which would be the case if it was a wrong selection of wipe in recovery. Few applications like 1weather, CallBlocker etc were gone, while few remained. All gapps were gone, for example gmail gave me error when i tried to open it, same case with browser etc

And the reset kernel in faux's thread is stock kernel. I thought flashing that will cause boot issues with this rom and so i wanted to flash the rom again to be sure that nothing will be broken from the system/ perspective.

finally i also had to wipe everything and reflash one by one the gapps, kernel and then restore Ti Backup.:crying:
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Yup the ROM wipes system to ensure a clean install so I'm not chasing dirty flash bugs all day.. However it backs up your apps and re installs them after. You will lose gaps every time so flashing gapps is a must..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] sid21:
how can that be so??

i have chased over 3 kernels already on this rom by wiping cache and dalvik cache both

but all my files,settings,apps remained as there was nothing done on the phone

is it a issue with only dirty flashing of illusion?

cause i have cleanly flashed and no issues at all..just few minutes ago wiped cache and installed akfaux and no issue at all

even purchased faux123 kernel enhancement and really enjoying the rom+kernel now..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Nerd019:
hey droyd i got some stuff for this rom if you need it i got back on my grind developing again life got super busy i may be a dad :) so yeah i got nine full months to do all this and find a way to support my little coder lol.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] daisymone:

[Nexus 4 Android Development] davep1982:
If you use Nova Launcher you can set the transitions to stock jelly bean under Nova settings.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] PetritH:
It won't change to jelly bean,cuz thay option load the stock ones which in this case are illusion rom transitions

Edit: you are right,it works on Nova but not Apex

I have just installed this ROM, coming from Paranoid Android (full wipe), and I think its great so far, one thing I have noticed though, is that the speed I am getting via WiFi is hugely reduced compared to what I was getting on PA?

I haven't tried Mobile data yet, but I will soon.

Just wanted to see if anyone else was having this issue?

Cheers

[Nexus 4 Android Development] Tom540:
Wouldn't have thought that was ROM related, if you are on stock kernel have you tried a different one?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] oska3:
Which kernel would you recommend for the rom?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Stock one in the next version for sure...
[Nexus 4 Android Development] StuMcBill:
I am using the kernel that comes with the rom!

I keep getting gaaps force closes too? Hmmmmm.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Really ? What gapps.? Doesn't sound like a ROM or kernel issue.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] StuMcBill:
Well I installed slim gaaps from the site in the OP! However, I noticed that a few of the gaaps I use were missing, so I restored them from my Nandroid - I realise that this is probably the issue!

I have cleared cache and dalvik to see if that makes any difference!

Cheers

Stewart
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Go back to slim and grab the aio aroma zip.. Do a fresh ROM flash and then flash the aio and pick your gapps you want from there.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] StuMcBill:
Can I do that over my current install or should I do a full wipe again?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
I would go clean since you've obviously got some corrupt data there already.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] roilosh11:
I'm sorry for being a noob but I don't understand. If I wipe data (factory reset) and flash the ROM again,will it automatically restore all my apps all my arrangements of my home screen that I had before wiping data? THANKS! :)
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
Not if you wipe system first.. If you do caches only it will put back everything but gapps..
[Nexus 4 Android Development] roilosh11:
So before flashing a new version of the ROM do you recommend wiping data or just wiping caches?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
If its illusion on illusion just caches then flash ROM and gapps.. If your coming from a different ROM or having any issues wipe everything then flash ROM and gapps.I personally wipe everything 3 times when coming from a different ROM.. Some updates will require a full wipe but I will put it in the op.. Like after hybrid is added you'll need a full wipe or if you notice a lot of major framework changes in the change log.. Definatly if your experiencing any real issues as this ROM when flashed correctly is extremely solid.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] daisymone:
No they didn't work ... Says not installed
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
What didn't work?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] droidkevlar:
Maybe make an addon that users can flash before flashing your ROM so it 3x wipes the areas you recommend? I know I would rock this and should solve a lot of users issues not knowing what to and what not to wipe.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Lewythefly:
It gets annoying seeing this time and time again in every developers thread about issues going wrong with people dirty fashing. If people read the OP and follow basic instructions that are there for flashing any ROM you wont have a problem, its when people get lazy and skip steps or don't follow instructions that things go wrong

Just follow $droyd$'s recommendations for flashing (he is the developer) and you will be sweet
[Nexus 4 Android Development] $droyd$:
So what type of things would I need to add to the stock kernel to keep you guys using it? What would you all like to see in the kernel.?
[Nexus 4 Android Development] daisymone:
I asked for email exchange apk
[Nexus 4 Android Development] szucsgf:
Well a few things I like are:

BLX

Dynamic Fsync

Simple GPU governor

Frequencies below 384 and above 1512

But I'll be happy to try the next release with your default kernel in any case.
[Nexus 4 Android Development] Lewythefly:
Personally I don't bother tweaking settings in a kernel, all I want it to do is drive everything it needs to quickly and efficiently and be kind on battery life, which your kernel seems to do already :) . But I know others will want more control/more settings
