OptiPop - December 17th, 2014

Today's builds are the fastest yet due to my ppa updates to use Ubuntu 15.04 (prealpha) GCC toolchains/components. My testers said the noticed yet another performance boost.

I was recently asked to join the Team over at SimpleAOSP and so you'll notice this folder has appeared. https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Cl3Kener/HAMMERHEAD/SIMPLEAOSP. I've already added many of my favorite optimization/speed tweaks to that ROM and it does have roughly the same features as OptiPop does as of right now. I'm strongly considering either 1) discontinuing the white builds so I can focus on making everything dark (not just settings power menu) or 2) just discontinuing this entire project and maybe making my own dark unofficial simpleaosp builds. I might also just keep building all 4 optipop builds but maybe not quite so frequently and mainly with the idea of testing new features/optimization (and of course to make sure this F2FS-all ROM lives on...since that is one thing that hasn't been added to SimpleAOSP.... yet)

In all seriousness though, it just doesn't make sense for me to spend all of this time on a solo project when there are many talent individuals working on SimpleAOSP which seems to already have almost all of the features I use/like anyways -- especially when they are chill enough they'll even let me add a feature two that I feel is missing. I'd spend much less time doing the stuff I'm not so good at (cough java cough) and more time looking into ways to boost performance, battery, or optimize the ROM in any way possible. Anyways, I recommend you at least look into SimpleAOSP and maybe give that ROM above a flash to see if you think it is comparable enough to OptiPop or if you're going to cry yourself to sleep at night if were to discontinue the project. (Again the above link has many of my optimizations which have been officially merged into SimpleAOSP already)

By Request I've added a 3rd upload host (goo.im) to ensure that you can get yourselves a copy of OptiPop. :) Just thought I'd make mention of that in case you didn't notice. I know goo.im has had a bad rep in the past but they've changed things a lot and download speeds seemed decent when I tested.

I also want to remind everyone that dark build is still a wip. Eventually I want to get everything dark including all system apps etc. Right now it is only Settings and Power Menu. I'm going to try do more over the coming Holidays.

Anyhow

Enjoy the Updates!

Cheers!
