in Titan Prime I've gone from 18000 to 21000 (ok.... I think it was from ~1850 to ~2050) in AnTuTu score (from Stock kernel to Stellar)

but in MinimalOS I got the same score (with Halogen)

of course these benchmarks can't prove much...

the most important thing for me are the basic Features, which are already supported in MinimalOS built-in kernel...

that provides the option to build a Kernel Profile for Performance/dayli-use and another for BatterySaving (emegency)

I don't remember 100%, but I think MinimalOS built-in kernel already has many many features, like Screen / Sound / Vibrator streght / conservative Governors.... which already are enough...

LET's PLAY WITH MinimalOS guys! :fingers-crossed::D:):fingers-crossed::laugh::silly::silly::silly:
[G 2014 Android Development] julianenciso93:
Yes I agree with you the performance is perfect, it's more than enough with having features :D:fingers-crossed::cool:
[G 2014 Android Development] Vidhanth:
If u lost the stock kernel backup, just extract the boot.img from the rom zip and flash it in the recovery (twrp allows you to directly flash images ;) )
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
HOLLY MOLLY! AMAZING! thanks!
[G 2014 Android Development] Vidhanth:
Lol np
[G 2014 Android Development] xzyk:
vatsal, well done on this rom. This thing with stock kernel sleeps like SnowWhite. I'm not a heavy user so idle/sleep time is important to me and this rom is giving me 2.5 days, with low usage, between charges. Only one small issue i have is that the ring tone seems lower than on other roms, no biggie.

thanks again and hope you keep up the good work.
[G 2014 Android Development] SpiritBreak3r:
When I try to access Vibrator Strength(Sound -> Other Sounds), Settings Crash. Does anyone else have the same issue? I am using xposed + gravity. Tried disabling gravity but it's persisting.
[G 2014 Android Development] Oliverrlh:
Very good ROM indeed. Also In-Call volumen is very low. Barely I can hear the other person on this and all CM/AOSP based ROM
[G 2014 Android Development] :
known issue. Will be fixed in next update
[G 2014 Android Development] pastorbob62:
I've tried several ROM's for my Moto G since buying it last fall. Most recently AOSP. But this one tops them all by far. No lag. Smooth and everything just works. Even my camera app that previously would only work on occasion is smooth and reliable. The only problem I have run into is the vibrator intensity (fix already in the works) which is a non-issue for me.

Excellent work! :good::good::good::good::good:

[MENTION=4910973]Vatsal[/MENTION] , again: this ROM is the best ROM I've used so far! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: but I'm curious about your work....

Which is your personal favorite? MinimalOS or BlissPop? (which do you use more?)
[G 2014 Android Development] :
Both of them are my favourites. ;)
[G 2014 Android Development] Sanjay Varun:
Clever answer! ;)

And I love all your ROM's [MENTION=4910973]Vatsal[/MENTION]! Trust ur work so much as u bring regular updates to all ur ROM's. A consistent & responsible developer for Titan. Keep up the great work! :D:highfive:
[G 2014 Android Development] fburgos:
Is this ROM based on aosp or is cm... I thought it's based on slim or aosp but read in community it's based on cm I'm confused.... Any way loving it great ROM sleeps like a baby
[G 2014 Android Development] :
Based on xenon hd :)

Read OP
[G 2014 Android Development] shiktek:
Clean flashed this ROM [Previously using Titan Prime].

After first boot, I got all Apps with data already installed!!!! Even the widgets...

I never experienced this with other ROMs.

The about phone section shows Minimal OS V2.5 though and it has Minimal tweaks, Layers, etc which were not in TP.

Is this common with others or am I the only to experience this?
[G 2014 Android Development] :
Whats wrong then?

Minimal os v2.5 is right and it is not a stock based rom
[G 2014 Android Development] shiktek:
There is nothing wrong. In fact I am happy that I need not restore all the apps with data :thumbup:

Thanks for the ROM..
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
For a clean flash you need to do a

proper

full wipe!

for a Full wipe you have to Wipe 4 things: "

Cache

+

Dalvik Cache

+

System

+

Data

"

take a look at my instructions at my post (right above) ---> Post number: #176
[G 2014 Android Development] shiktek:
I have no problem at all with what happened when I flashed the ROM. I did the same thing what u told and that's the Standard procedure to follow with every ROM.

It's unusual that when u flash a new ROM and all the apps u used with previous ROM are already present!! ?
[G 2014 Android Development] SpiritBreak3r:
You must have used google's device restore/backup.
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
oh yeah! that's it!

but I thought this service would just restore Google's own apps...

does it restores every (Play Store linked) apps ?
[G 2014 Android Development] caueint:
Very interesting ROM, I'm going to try it soon. I don't know why some developers keep adding useless stuff to their ROMs, if I was smart enough to root my phone I can clearly install apps I need all by myself lol

By the way, do you know if it's working properly with TK GApps? I've seen you recommending Slim`s but not TK`s

Keep going with that great job! :good: :good: :good:
[G 2014 Android Development] BrandonCormier:
I am using tk modular mini and they work great!
[G 2014 Android Development] _tony_:
I'm curious to try this Rom.

Quick question to all the people that have been on TP 5.0.2 for a fair while before to jump on this train, which one has the longest battery life? (on a regular use)
[G 2014 Android Development] BrandonCormier:
I got better battery on TP but not by much. This ROM is way smoother so I gladly take the hit. If I change my kernel to match TP performance then my battery is about the same. Idk I like minimal better. Only feature I miss from TP is slow motion video.
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
Man.... this ROM is A ZILLION TIMES smoother than ANY rom I've tried... (including Tesla, which is also from [MENTION=4910973]Vatsal[/MENTION] )

The Reboot time is simply unbelievable...

also, if you Wipe Dalvik Cache (maybe it's a Lollipop 5.1 improvement) its like 4 times faster to rebuild the cache!

I don't know about battery life (comparing to Titan Prime) because I've never cared much... I have a Kernel Profile (in Kernel Adiutor), that activates automatically (using Tasker) when my battery is <= 25%, that simply cuts by 1/3 the capacity/speed, limits everything possible, activates 2 hundred tweaks, like Greenify, system settings, display sleep time, etc...etc...etc...

so my 25% of battery lasts for like TEN TIMES more than the other 75%.... so I give a crap about battery life!

I'm amazed by the awesomeness of this ROM! I'm showing to everybody, sometimes strangers on the street (kidding... just "acquaintances strangers") :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
[G 2014 Android Development] somth5016:
The Kernel Profile sounds amazing!!! Are you using a custom kernel, I'm also using Kernel Adiutor, but I have no idea how to make such tweaks. Could you share the profile here, or maybe a guide how to make it? Thank you :D
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
I'm using [MENTION=6563295]zakee94[/MENTION] 's Halogen Kernel -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-g-2014/development/kernel-halogenkernel-r1-t3133042

After you flash it, it will be already optimized for a Balanced performance (I think pending a bit more to Performance, but keeping Battery Life about the same as the Stock Kernel), so you don't really need to tweak it in Kernel Adiutor...

If you wanna Tweak (be Careful), you can follow his guide on the: Post #3

If you want my (extreme) Battery Life profile, you can follow my little-guide, at my Post #367 (This post was made in another Kernel thread (don't flash that Kernel), but it's the same profile I'm using now in MinimalOS + Halogen Kernel !!!)

(some values are different, for Example: (ZRam) Disksize: 160MB now (in Halogen) the default value changed to: 250MB, so don't change it!)

Also: DON'T CHANGE things you don't know whats it is.... it's dangerous !

Hi [MENTION=4910973]Vatsal[/MENTION], I have a doubt, I am really sorry, If I'm wrong. Why our device is not listed in their official download page. But it says official here (xda). I am not caring about that! But just asked. Now I am on your Infinitive OS latest build, will switch back to Minimal when a new build arrives, Hope the new build is under the work and release soon.

hey, dear amazing [MENTION=4910973]Vatsal[/MENTION] !!!

I just wanna report a Bug, but it's not nonsense (like "Vibrator FC", and trivial stuff...), and EVERYTHING else is working smoothly 100% amazingly fine!

EDIT: GOT IT ! this (I described above) is the NORMAL behaviour.... You can just transfer files normally.... I think you only "stay connected" in Car Sound systems, or Internet Thethering, etc....

The problem is really my Mama's Car soundsystem! everything else is connecting!

Thank you for this amazing ROM!

It's just fine here.

Go for a fresh install and see.

If you have installed xposed, you are on your own. Xposed isnt officially supported by the rom
[G 2014 Android Development] bulbus:
Got one more minor bug:

No matter what setting ive done under setting - sim card. It always uses SIM1 for sms. I always prefer the setting "always ask", but that neither works with hangout, nor with the stock SMS/MMS app - any ideas?

That is really the best ROM for Moto G - no doubt - great job Vatsal!!!
[G 2014 Android Development] pastorbob62:
A quick question for you. I've been using Halogen Kernel since version 6 even on previous ASOP ROM's and I love it. But I have always stuck with the default profile as downloaded. How much of an improvement do you see in battery life after applying your tweaks? And conversely, how much of a hit does performance take? Thanks in advance.
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
I've only tried R11 and R12, but in Both I haven't tested Battery life...

I've made a AnTuTu benchmark (before & after flashing the kernel), and I got about the same score!

After my tweakings I've got the same score also...

so, I think Halogen & MinimalOS Stock kernel are both equal in performance (the advantage in Halogen is you have more options/tweaks)
[G 2014 Android Development] SpiritBreak3r:
Not trying to be rude, but you trying to be mean to the people who posted "Vibrator Menu is FCing". For me this is also an important factor in efficiently using the battery, lesser the strength, lesser the noise and more battery saving.

Secondly to your issue, you forgot to mention your bluetooth device and the generation you are pairing with. I am using a 4.1/3.0 device, works perfectly fine. PS: Using the default kernel.
[G 2014 Android Development] pastorbob62:
Ok. I am running R12 now but think I'll stick to the default settings. I don't have any real issues with battery life unless I play games on it and I only do that while out and about (such as in the doctor's or dentist's office).

Thanks for your feedback! :)
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
sorry for being rude (I was indeed), but you can control Vibrator Strenght with Kernel tweaking apps, or by command line. The bug is only at the UI (it's a visual/GUI bug..) sorry again!
[G 2014 Android Development] SpiritBreak3r:
I didn't mind ;). Since I am using Gravity Box, it comes with Vibration pattern settings, so I was able to adjust to my needs and again default kernel, so no kernel tweaker/adituor.

To the previous reply, yes, google does restore app data for some apps. I haven't tested it but I use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.k2.backup. Pretty awesome tool. I can migrate phones/change roms with ease and one tap restore app and data.
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
Hey man... My BlueTooth isn't connecting... it Pairs but then it only connect for 0,00001 second, and disconnects....

Vatsal thinks maybe it's Xposed... have you used your BlueTooth yet?
[G 2014 Android Development] luishr:
Have you tried a clean flash and test it without xposed or any MODs?

You can try that, and if still does not work, get a logcat and see if anyone can give a help.

I saw in a earlier post from Vatsal that he uses Bluetooth headset and a fitness band. So appears that this is not a general issue.

Just to add, maybe try once with stock kernel to see the results also.

A dirty fix ;)

Get your mp3 or any sound track you want, rename .mp3/(any other audio extension) to .ogg and move the file to system/media/<notifications/calls/alarm> with rw-rw-rw permissions using root explorer or any file manager app with root permissions. Reboot and select ringtone of your choice into system :)

You can do the same with sdcard as the root directory.

[G 2014 Android Development] sindamc:
Can i dirty flash it?
[G 2014 Android Development] wernerml:
No, Stellar is for Stock based ROMs (e.g. Titan Prime)

for MinimalOS you have to use a AOSP based, like: Halogen or decipher or Optimus or Spirit

I haven't tested the others (only Halogen) but they should work too.

I think it's pretty safe, because you only need to Flash it, and BOOM -> Reboot (you don't even have to wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache)

what is NOT SAFE is to tweak settings without knowing exactly what they are for! you will need to Read a lot!

here: [REF][GUIDE]Most up to date guide on CPU governors and I/O schedulers by gsstudios

if you want to go Back to the original (MinimalOS) built-in Kernel, do the following:

1. Extract boot.img from the MinimalOS.zip

2. Reboot your device in "Bootloader" mode (Not Recovery!)

3. Connect to your PC

4. if you don't have fastboot and adb I recommend installing SDK Tools,

or the full Android Studio, which is what I have ---> https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

5. Browse to the folder C:\Users\your-user\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\

6. Paste "boot.img" into this folder

7.

Shift

+

Right Button

---> Open command window here

(in Command Prompt)

8. fastboot.exe devices (to check if your device is connected properly)

9. fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img

10. fastboot.exe reboot

Done!

Vatsal my dear amazing, thanks for the amazing work!

@wernerml ... Re your above statement ... If one is using the latest TWRP Recovery it has the option to flash ".img" files just as you would a zip file. This means that apart from other files you can flash any kernel directly through Recovery instead of having to chose the ADB & PC route.
