i mka'd bacon for a midnight snack and data came out of the oven!

lol it took me a while but i finally got data working.

this is 4.3.1. i know its a little late with 4.4 starting to come out for our device, but i'm just getting some practice and knowledge in.

heres a download for you ladies and gents

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291681464

also after you flash rom and gapps, select power off in twrp instead of just a reboot. otherwise itll bootloop. other than that though it seems to be running fast and solid so far! give it a shot, see what ya think.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xak:
Screw kitkat ATM with it being so unstable and ART crashed etc. Giving this one a shot. Whats funny is I spent all day yesterday looking for a Vanir HTC One XL rom!o.o

Need a pre-release tester? Ill test. AT&T Version

2.15 HBOOT

S-OFF

Unlocked

Maby you can grab at some the cyanogenmod build for evita kitkat take that and compile this with kitkat and keep all the features. Then you got the best kitkat rom out their.

Ill test that too! :D PM me

Edit: BTW guys with Nova Beta you can get kitkat look and feel! Kitkat folders + a lot more really cool.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
I've been on this rom all day and it's been solid for me so far, no reboots or anything.

unfortunately, this upgrade to 4.4 wont work like that. pretty much every rom out there seems to be coming from AOSP scratch and rebuilding. completely new code.

however vanir has their 4.4 repos up and ready to go. also cm updated their repos to cm-11.0 today. I got a successful build of vanir 4.4 but gapps is force crashing on startup, so im trying to get that fixed before i upload it.

also 4.4 vanir is pretty close to stock right now, but the vanir team works extremely hard and updates every day so we'll get our customizations in due time.

on a side note... are you likin this build of vanir 4.3.1?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xak:
Downloading right now lol just updated sig. 1st 20 min dl failed 105 mbs. My router is 4 years old. Hopeflly I am getting a new router lol. I have a newer comp but router is old lol.

keep up the good work.

Edit: After a days use I give it a thumbs up. :D brotherross on 4.3.1 can you have option to change clear recent apps on lower left because on phones that are big its hard to reach their if your lefty?

Thanks keep it up
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chencox:
After a couple of try on the installation i manage to make this work (was getting bootloop even after the process but after third time installing it worked, i dont know why)

First thing, this ROM is Crazy fast! Been a while since i got to use something gonig this fast. I like the customization it's packed with too. As i just flashed this i can't really comment on battery life or even reboot but i'll stay you tune on this.

Question. Are custom kernel like Jrior or Azn one working on this? Didn't try it right now but i'll probably do so when i arrive home. And is Azn KingBeatz gonna work on this too? Anyway, i'll try when i arrive home and give feedback if nobody tried this.

Another question more concerning the rom customization. Is their a ways to change the longpress back button setting? I like putting Kill App their but i dont see how i can do that on this rom. And is there a reason why Vanir Inverted is in theme? I know a bunch of rom have a tile that can be switch on/off for Dark UI but is their something different havingit in the Theme section?

Anyway, congrats on that build, feels awesome in hand!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
did you power off instead of reboot after you flashed your gapps package? that seems to be the best work around for the kernel bootloop kink.

I haven't personally tried either of those custom kernels on this ROM, but I do think they'd be worth a shot to try. don't know if kingbeatz will work either.

hardware back to kill is in developer options. as far as the dark theme goes, its just how the vanir team decided to include it in their project. it works just like the dark option from other ROMs.

and thanks man :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chencox:
Ya i did the power off thing, didn't work first time, second i tried reboot and didn't work either and lastly i retried with power off and it did work.

Now, I flashed Jrior Kernel + KingBeatz, went into bootloop "sight". I powered it off because i was going for supper and now it won't open back... Might have drained battery and now it's stuck. I'll charge it for a while try reinstalling all without Kingbeatz / Kernel independantly and see what comes out.

Thanks for the fast answer!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xak:
Try this rom+ torched + V4A Viper 4 Android audio. Make sure its 4.x apk. :D Better then what your using. :D u have to enable advnced user mode on V4A though easy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Chencox:
I was using Viper4A before, but KingBeatz gave me better result "on 4.3.1" essentially because it was release before for 4.1.2 and after that nada. Viper4A was the one i used after that. Gotta try another time.

But how did you manage to flash Torch? Each time i tried it bootloop :(

And i had a question, if i want to reboot my phone normaly, do i have to go through the same pattern as Power off and then turn it back on or this was only for the rom installation?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
I personally found it best to just power down completely and turn back on rather than using reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
i like options. :)

updated the op but ill put the link here too

Man, you're not gonna stop till you have this development section locked up huh?! Awesome work. I build for my personal use. My wife would divorce me if I did as much as you.

You gonna give Ubuntu Touch port a crack?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Freak:
I had a problem installing an app (Amazon) from the app store so I changed the DPI from the default of 250 to 240. After going to step 2, I got boot loops. I cleared the cache and was able to get back in the rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
haha i like to experiment with the work that the community has put in. that being said though, i think im going to slow down on the random rom compiling front and start getting good at github and gerrit. I want to start learning the depths of the whole thing so i'd l ike to join a team here soon.

as for an ubuntu touch port, i think thats over my head.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
[MENTION=5356297]brotherross[/MENTION], you are a Rom churning machine. It's been fun checking out all the different Roms you post on here. Looking forward to flashing and checking out this one too!

Haha well i started lurking a little less than a year ago when i got the device (my first android phone). I'd be lying if i didnt say it was partly for myself, but youre more than welcome man, thanks for tryin my builds out :)

anyways, for people that might be having trouble with androidfilehost, i uploaded and will start using dev-host from now on. the op has been updated with a new link, but here it is in case you dont want to go to the first page.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Z1cK:
how do you manage to install the drivers ?? it failed for me on every 4.4 roms
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Z1cK:
This ROM is, for me the most stable KitKat ROM. No issue since the release!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Black!Jack:
In my experience, updating the SU binary allowed install of the necessary driver(s). Using V4A with Beanstalk 4.4 now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xak:
You need to install the Super User from chainfire over the built in ones. >.- At least Im pretty sure thats what did the trick
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
Having some pretty random boot loop behavior after just coming from a sense-based ROM and going to Vanir 4.3. Booted in fine one time, then started boot looping when I went to restart the phone. I've been running HBOOT 2.15 with the latest firmware (no issues with the touch screen when it did boot) and installed Vanir with TWRP 2.6.3.0. Anyone else have any issues like these? logcat1 was grabbed while the phone hung during the HTC boot splash, logcat2 was grabbed right as the phone crashed after briefly loading into the OS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
yea the 4.3 build has the old cm kernel that was having those issues with bootloops on reboot. i don't think ill putting out another 4.3 build with the stable kernel sorry man. 4.4 vanir still has all the features from 4.3 and has been pretty stable for me. only randomly rebooted on me twice since i flashed it on the 26th. the 4.4 build has the newest cm kernel with that bootloop bugged squashed.

if you decide you want to flash 4.4 vanir, just make sure you update your recovery and youll be good to go.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
No big deal. As mentioned by a few others, I installed the torched kernel, and everything's working great. Thanks for getting this rom working for the one xl. I've been looking for it over here ever since I put it on my Nexus 7.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Xak:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] downset00:
Having trouble getting the screen to auto rotate. Won't even work in messages. Auto rotate is checked in settings.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
Yea its a problem with the toggle tile. Right now the toggle only works to disable rotate. If you want to enable it you'll have to disable/reenable in settings>display

edit: heres a new build Vanir Evita (12/29)

their changelog is forever rolling
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
we dont have any device specific changes. anything merged in vendor is kind of behind the scenes, it wont change functionality at all. if youre reading the log everything relating to frameworks or apps is a change that will be more noticeable in the UI or functionality
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Black!Jack:
Just an FYI, for possible OP update [MENTION=5356297]brotherross[/MENTION]

Vanir config files inaccessible through Terminal Emulator. You may want to remove that info from OP.

Not that it will hurt anyone's phone or anything by trying it, I just have a severe case of OCD!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] arnelolavides:
Is ART working on this ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Z1cK:
Yes I remember running ART with success. Just turn it on after wiping cache and dalvik.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kix08:
any chance of getting LWP to work? or is it working for others? I tried two from the play store and neither worked . even tried with nova launcher prime
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
what is LWP?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
Live Wallpaper maybe??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kix08:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kix08:
is there a way to revive MMS with out having to turn WiFi off and data on? even if I could have them both on and receive them would be great. (there's times I don't even know I have them waiting for me cause I'm on WiFi Most of the time.) I'm using the ATT Phone APN settings not sure if changing anything in there would help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pandasa123:
Have you tried other sms / mms apps? I highly recommend Textra
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kix08:
no I havnt I was using the stock SMS app not hangouts but I thought that problem would be due to something with the data connectivity behind the scenes and not the actual SMS app. I just downloaded that one I'll give it a shot. I had all the auto retrieve boxes checked in stock one but didn't help. but I'll test textra

Update: tested and working with both WiFi and mobile data on, THNKS

this rom is frickin fast and optimized through the roof
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Franklee99:
What customisation mods are included in the kitkat version of this rom?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:
Haha I'm a terrible salesman.

Its feature packed man. Pretty much has every feature you want plus more. Except for halo and pie, which let's face it, are kind of useless.

Should consider flashing it man. Really dang solid ROM. Except there's a wakelock in android OS I think. So ill build again tonight or tomorrow in hopes that the bug will be squashed.

The vanir team, prime, DHO, and nuclearmistake work unbelievably hard daily to create a really amazing ROM. That being said I feel like this ROM hasn't quite the gotten the attention it deserves from our device community. I would really love to hear more feedback for vanir evita builds because personally I find this ROM perfect for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NexusS4gFreak:
Does it have active display?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rsbear:

Can we use alternative kernels? Also, does art work? Thanks for your replies.

I love this ROM with optimized Dalvik, but the only problem I'm having is terrible WiFi connection and drops. Lol I can live with it because this is easily my favorite AOSP ROM out there right now.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DESERT.TECH:
Ya the only fc I ever get is if I have pattern pin enabled then I click style below that it fc . I think its because you can't change style of pattern and it didn't remove option to do so just fc. As these being technically alpha builds they are pretty fricking solid, just a few qwerks that we get to play with so it makes it enjoyable.

HTC sense 5
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Madcat8686:
This Rom rocks. Absolutely love it.

With that said, I am still going through the settings and I can make it FC in:

Settings/Interface/Notification drawer/Halo ring

and

Settings/Security/Active notifications

I didn't flash the enhanced Dalvik and I am on the stock Kernel.

Logcat file attached.

Edit - It appears that Active notifications is available in Settings under both Interface (Vanir custom) and Security. The Interface active notifications is modified with a lot of options and it works while the Security active notifications is broken. I'm wondering if they just forgot to delete the duplicate setting and that is what is broken?

I'm downloading now. I'll dirty flash it once it is ready and edit post.

Edit - It flashed fine (I dirty flashed it over the last build.) The Rom boots up fine. I restarted due to changes I made and everything went fine. Looks like the settings force closes are fixed. It seems like the Rom is running smoother. For the Halo fans out there, it is running great.

Everything seems to be running great - I love the boot ani!

One thing I've noticed so far - I'm using a PIN to unlock the phone, and I checked "Quick Unlock", which is supposed to allow the phone to unlock as soon as the PIN is entered (instead of having to hit the enter arrow after entering the PIN). This doesn't seem to be working. I ticked the box, then rebooted to, but I still have to hit the enter arrow each time. Anyone else?
