It is based on Cm12

But I built it myself

But currently uses novafusions kernel

Rom includes:

Multi-User - maximum of 3 users

Xposed - already activated

Gravitybox - already turned on

Cm apps replaced with more material designed ones

Performance and battery tweaks

I also only release versions that have been fully tested by me and one of my friends
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Sometime AFTER the next 6 weeks

expect vibrant os to become more like what a custom rom should be

more features - more customization and less need for xposed

these features won't all come in a single update unfortunately

1 update will probably add maybe 1 or 2 features - or if your lucky 3

these updates won't come fast and i can't give a time or date for any of them

but i promise that THEY WILL COME

you may not know this but... building them into the system instead of using xposed can actually save battery

and we have marshmallow to look forward to with the new doze mode

i have got a less than a week left until i get my cast cut off

then i have to learn to use my hand again and i don't know how long that takes - i have never broken my hand before

but after that i can get to work - making something unique - that we can all enjoy and use
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
Wow thats pretty awsome :) cant wait :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Most features will be added from gravitybox first

So that we don't need xposed

As some of us can't get xposed working

Then...it is up to you guys to tell me what features you want.

BTW marshmallow might come first

As I have been able to start some work but it has been slow
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
And by the way - i meant to say less than 3 weeks for my hand

not less than a week - sorry if i caused any confusion
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
wow that awesome news cant wait again :)

by the way can you add security update of straightfright :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
i think cm added to their code a few days before i broke my hand

so when i get my cast off

i will right away add security against that stupid bug :svetius:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
yes yes yes :) gracias amigo
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
BTW i found something awesome with battery

1) - after charged to 100% take out charger an turn phone off and wait 5 seconds then turn phone back on again

don't reboot - battery seems to last longer if not charging from power on - don't know why

2 - wifi turns off after a certain amount of time to go into the sleep mode

but sometimes android won't go into sleep mode - so wifi wont turn off

so...when not using phone

manually turn wifi off

my phone has been on for 24 hours now and i still have 82% left
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
thanks for reply..

i am at outside almost all of the day. only at night i am at home and not really using my phone at home. so my wifi is usually off.

i will do as you said and give feedback about that
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
OK thanks

this method has worked for me 4 times now

usually in college i am down to at least 15-20% battery

when using this method - today i left college with 70% battery
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Anonymous94:
App themer. I like it
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
The app themer was taken directly from the cyanogen12 os it WAS for the one plus one or the YU Yureka phone as an exclusive
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
3 times i did still not worked :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
you didn't get anymore battery with wifi off and all apps closed???

how many hours does the phone usually last for
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Anonymous94:
Can you port app themer for cm.12.1?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
there is no porting needed

it is just an apk file

Vibrant-os is based on cm12.1 source and comes with app themer and theme store
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Anonymous94:
I try to install apk file but that repleace stock themer and FC when i try to open.

Sorry for my bad english...hwhe
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
are you using vibrant-os or another cm12 rom??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Anonymous94:
Yes already using vib-os but maybe tomorrow i will try using cm12.1
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
delete theme choooser

but don't delete themes

appthemer can only be turned on through new theme chooser

theme chooser is the old theme chooser

themes is the new more material theme chooser
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
working on a medium sized update

update will

update cm12.1 to latest available

remove old theme chooser but keep the new material design one

add an app called e-robot with battery presets for screen off - basically it is doze for all phones almost

update xposed to latest

option for you guys - should i

add greenify and amplify

add greenify

add amplify

or add none
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
don't add greenify or amplify. users can install them by themselves. xposed should be enough i think.. any news about battery ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
There are some battery improvements from cyanogen but

I will also provide e-robot (setup already) for battery until my hand is fully healed

When screen off

Performance is lowered to 200 MHz on power save mode - WiFi is turned off instantly and if you have greenify - all apps are hibernated automatically

When screen is on

Performance will go back to 200 - 100Mhz on interactive mode but WiFi stays off and Screen goes to minimum brightness

Plus some battery improvements from cyanogen
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TheForce:
Nice idea, maybe when screen goes on then brightness of screen goes half way and nog minimum.

Anyway still following tour great ideas. ATM I am on omni-lp, ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
i cant remember at all but someone tried it and messages were received late and sometimes when someone called you you couldn't answer him screen was being frozen..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
so far - i haven't had any problem with it

screen being frozen is a known bug on all android 5 roms especially ones for s3 mini

i will make a decision on saturday night - i will also tell you if any of these problems arise

the decision will be if i should add or not add it to vibrant
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
ok looking forward for the new release :good::)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
only problem i will have with updating xposed

is keeping xposed activated
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
strange problem though
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
ll done

rom will update without disabling xposed

update is being tested as i write this
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
new update is going to be delayed slightly

i am having problems with the new theme chooser no working

you know...the one wtih the app themer

keep getting unfortunately theme chooser has stopped - it is related to themesprovider.apk apparently

and also having some performance issues

so i may remake the update as i think performance is related directly to cyanogen
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Figured out problem with app themer

on november 10th

cyanogen released the c-apps

c-apps are like g-apps

c-apps is a package to give you apps that only come with devices running cyanogen os - oneplus and YU

and g-apps are packages to give you apps that ony come with devices running stock lollipop - nexus

the apps are

Cyanogen Dialer - i will test and decide whether to add it in or not

Cyanogen Gallery - replaced with quickpic

New AudioFX - vibrant already had a beta build of this

cyanogen account - already added to vibrant like 2 months ago =)

updated theme chooser - already included in vibrant os

the app themer - comes with updated theme chooser and is already included in vibrant os

the theme store - already included in vibrant os
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
wow thank yo for the update coming soon :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Turns out the app themer theme chooser

Stops when applying theme

I will redo the update from scratch...hopefully cm has fixed this issue in the code
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Update on the way

what has changed

Added

new AudioFX

Erobot app pre-setup for best battery life

StageFright Patch - requested by Crayvolt

Cyanogen OS dialer

Replaced

Call screen with Cyanogen OS Call Screen

Updated

Theme Chooser with app theming

Theme Store

Xposed

Updated MultiUser from 3 accounts maximum to 4 accounts maximum

Removed

Old Theme Chooser

Other Theme Store that does not work

any other duplicates

Fixed

Slight Performance issues

Battery drain - maybe

Bugs

Theme selected in new theme chooser just shows loading screen like this - this is a bug with latest cm code

took me 16 hours to find out that it was a cm problem not a vibrant-os problem LOL =)

For a broken hand - this is a good sized update =)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TheForce:
Top, great job.

I believe your succeeding in to evoluate it into a great rom. :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
update is now in last testing stage

making sure everything works when flashing from previous update

making sure everything works when flashing after wiping phone

making sure everything works when flashing from other rom

making sure everything works when flashing from stock samsung rom
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
Yes yes yes :) cant wait no longer :) ehehehhee joke but yes ...take your time eeheheh.... no force......
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
managed to fix theme chooser

update being uploaded right now
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
update is FINALLY being uploaded to dev-host right now

reason for delay - is because the system wouldn't format for some reason - fixed it now

the system folder now gets deleted instead of formatting

which also means install is faster

there is one file that also must be flashed for xposed functionality
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
The New Add-on Page is now available

because this update replaces

the old theme chooser with the new theme chooser

and the android 5.0 dialler with the new cyanogen dialler

i have created a add-on page on my website

to either add the old ones back and keep the new ones

or replace the new ones with the older ones completely

Reason for this is because some people will like the new ones and some people will prefer the old ones

and being able to have a choice adds more to the customization + a choice can't hurt - can it? =)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
At last I will try now your hardwork :) the juice...:)

Where is the C-apps can be found?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
There is a bug : black screen I think you missed the launcher eehehhh :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Were you already using vibrant is before update

The c-apps are on cyanogens website

This update includes all c-apps except for gallery and screencast
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Little note

Before installing any updates

You must already be using vibrant-os
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Could you confirm something for me??

but i need to know if your still using vibrant os??
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
No... so should I first install again the first v.1.1 then install this v.1.2 ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
if your coming from another rom

such as samsung

omnirom

slimrom

or cm12.1 by novafusion

you have to restore backup - unfortunately

then install latest update

i'm still trying to make the backup a flashable zip

backup apps

restore backup

install vibrant 1.2

the backup is what has the launcher
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
i am busy these times tonight my first thing will be trying the new release..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
thanks man battery improved improved is awsome
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
turns out there was no bug with a black screen

how VIBRANT Install works

if your not using vibrant-os and you want to use vibrant-os

you have to restore backup then install latest update

if your already using vibrant-os

then you don't need to use backup when updating

the backup stops the black screen error and adds the required apps
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
did you fix the black screen problem

did you restore the backup is what i meant

hopefully there will no longer need to be a twrp backup for much longer

i am testing twrp backup as a flashable zip - what this means is that you will be able to switch from lets say omnirom to vibrant os without needing backup
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Quick Little Announcement

sometime next year i will be getting a moto g - don't know what model

yo know what that means

Vibrant os will be coming to the moto g

but don't worry vibrant os will still be updated for the galaxay s3 mini

i will never abondon the s3 mini

s3 mini was the first android phone i had that was actually rootable

the s3 mini will always get an update first

the moto g - whatever model will get the same update 1-2 days later
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
thanks for not leaving s3 mini but if you leave us a stable, battery friendly and optimized rom it is enough for us.. i dont know why but i love this phone even i can afford to buy a new phone..

i would appreciate your works until i forgot my name ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
this phone will always get updates as long as i am around =)

BTW testing out another update

Vibrant OS 1.2.1

this update was made from scratch as in starting again with fully cleaned out cyanogen code

Vibrant 1.2 still had old code from october

The rom is pretty much already stable and optimized - just not battery friendly YET

lets see what this update does - now that the code has been redone
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TheForce:
Hi LividGamerZx,

I have a question.

Why did you choose for:

1e - Install a TWRP-backup

2e - Install an update

This is different from Slim-, Omni-, CM-rom and others.

Why did you, when you started, choose for a TWRP-backup-method and not for the way the others bring a new rom. Just curious, no critism ;)

Now in this way people can not easily step in, they always have to begin with the start-module, and further the newest update.zip

The easy part of course is that you do not have to make any kind of wipe when you start.

Beside that I admire your work.

A new Moto G, very nice. :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
the reason is because most things are already set up

like root access - which some people struggle to find

so that people don't always need to go through the hassle

i am trying to convert twrp backup to zip

but i am having problems converting the data part from backup to zip
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] TheForce:
You don't mean a zip-file like novafusion-roms or do you?

Anyway I think most people find their way on the forum for help or info when they have a problem.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
most rom zips

don't bring apps that can be uninstalled

don't bring apps that are pre-setup

if you go into settings->apps->downloaded

all apps that come with vibrant os can be uninstalled
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
Yes I fix it but.. i create flash-able zip for launcher with 777 permission and its better to not restore previous since I want clean install ehehhehe:)

flashable zip is better from restore .....:)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
indeed:good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Cool - nice

I just learned how to use the new set metadata command

Set metadata is the same as setting permissions

Learning set metadata has been very useful

Vibrant 1.2 added e-robot

But was not given the right permissions

So things could not be saved in the app

I spend a few hours yesterday trying to make a update to fix this

I found out set perm doesn't work anymore - so I had to learn set metadata

Which means I can make updates that have xposed already activated

And I can now turn twrp backup into a zip so that you won't lose apps when installing vibrant os
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
error at xposed "Xposed framework version 75 is installed, but not active. Please check the logs for details"

EDIT: I flashed xposed myself to solve the issue.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
i know about the issue

i am struggling to keep xposed activated when flashing my rom

but know that i have learned how to set permissions

i might be able to add xposed fully into rom

Glad to know that xposed is working for you know
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
GOOD NEWS

TWRP BACKUP

i have almost successfully converted the TWRP backup to a flashable zip

what this means

for example

if your on omnirom and you want to go to vibrant os

you would have to restore backup then install latest update

which means losing your apps

now

if your on omnirom and you want ot go to vibrant os

you can just install latest update without losing your apps

BROKEN HAND

Next Wednesday i am finally getting me hand back

which means

1) getting read of this stupid cast

2) development on customization and marshmallow can now start
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
glad to hear your hand is being well..

do u use gapps ? maybe my battery drain is because of that. although i am using amplify and preventing gapps' wakelocks.

But i can say that battery life slightly increased compared to previous releases :good: Also you made some changes about governors like you said before (for ex setting to 200 Mhz at lock screen etc.) did u implement those settings only for interactive governor ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
i do use g-apps

power is that is managed by e-robot

when screen off

power set to 200mhz and on powersave governor

wifi turns off

bluetooth turns off

network data turns off

screen brightness dims all the way down

when screen on

power set back to 1000mhz on interactive governor - helps with lag problems

When charging

wifi turns on

screen goes to 50% brightness

power set to 1000mhz on interactive
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
ok let me play a little bit with e robot :)) any news about overclock? or 100 mhz would be nice
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
Vibrant 1.2

May have added e-robot

But due to a permission bug

The app won't save changes

I will release an update tomorrow to fix the problem
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
-Whatsapp messages coming 3-5 minutes late. maybe sms too but i didn't try yet. (when the screen is locked)

-When you change the theme customly phone lags like a hell (by customly i mean not theme pack but font style from one, wallpaper from one , status bar icons from one etc.)

-When you hide battery icon from status bar there would be a blank there.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
do any other message services come later

that is to do with the new theme chooser

remember I said that i got it working but I had some problems - maybe this is one of the problems

i will look into the battery icon problem - maybe tomorrow

BTW how is the battery
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
only with online message apps. whatsapp, line and telegram.. i tried sms no problem there.

yeah new theme chooser is problematic.

battery is better than before but still a little bit fast drops compared to other rom i like to use. (pac rom 4.4.4). with wifi on battery is decreasing like countdown :D (joking )

not like countdown but really drops faster than usual. i will try to change build.prop to see if it is about wifi's optimization settings and will let you know.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
i know - i don't know what is up with wifi settings

actually...

i forgot to change something back in build.prop with wifi scanning

before it was

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=500

but now it is

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150

try changing this back to 500
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
i did it 320 lets see results tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Crayvolt:
Wow code M will start Soon .....

I notice battery drop fast when I connect to internet access it was like a 10% per 5 min..

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 AM ----------

I found a bug .

Torch doesnt off when click after 3 touch...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
can't confirm that. what do u mean by 3 touch?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
How is battery life with WiFi now???
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
better with 320. i haven't tried 500 yet

Btw i disabled the e-robot. i tried to change settings it gave error. i dont want the mobile data or wifi closed when screen is off also some other things.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
an update will be out today to fix the e-robot save changes error problems

you should be able to change screen off settings then

with e-robot let me guess...

on-line notifications don't work with WiFi off =)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
exactly :)) i am waiting for it than :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
this update

has been made from scratch - as in completely updated cyanogen

also took me 3 days to make a fix for e-robot

but needing to fix e-robot did mean i had to learn how to use a new coding command
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
VIBRANT OS INSTALLATION PROCESS

Starting from Vibrant os 1.3

Vibrant os will NOT have to be installed through backup first anymore

just install any update newer than 1.3

install g-apps or any other packages

reboot and...BAM you are using vibrant os

This change will not happen until 1.3 though

Vibrant 1.2.1

WILL USE NEW CM CODE AND FIX E-ROBOT SAVE CHANGES PROBLEM

Vibrant 1.3

WILL BRING THIS NEW CHANGE

AND MAYBE XPOSED...ALREADY ACTIVATED...MAYBE
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] trd3v3lop:
did you uploaded new update?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] Livi-Tech:
it is uploading to dev-host right now

testing the new backup install process

wiped my storage =(

so i did not have the finished update

but it is finished now and is uploading to dev-host
