Where is HALO within CM ROM's?

As the titles states, I've not seen HALO on any of the CM based or AOSP based rom's? That was a great little edition which really made the phone look cool, does anyone know if it's a simple add on or if it's even already been implemented into a ROM and i've just overlooked it?
I'm aware that there is an app which tries to emulate it but it's nowhere near as intuitive or as integrated.
Any thoughts on it or if it's even in the pipeline to be added to any of our ROMs?
Cheers.
EDIT: 50 views and no replies am i the only one who misses the HALO notifier? so bad

Ain't HALO dead long ago with the restructure (read: degeneration) of PA?
/RANT/
PA was once a nice ROM. Hybrid UI, PIE, HALO, all sorts of unique and original tricks, and open to features. Now they're just sticking close to AOSP and reluctant to even implement a shortcut in power menu.

I'm quite sad at this, I do miss Paranoid Android, they made some pretty decent ROMs, also dirty unicorns although apparently they do have a ROM, i just can't find it.
Do you think it'll never happen? We have AOSIP ?!??!
(Which for the record is a stella ROM)

On newer Android versions, Google is restricting the freedom of UI customization by unifying UI across devices and ROMs, so I don't see the chance for UI breakthroughs like HALO. Sure do hope some team can do it though.

Halo died a long time back, before PA even called it quits. For AOKP we have an unofficial build for our device:

Cheers mate, its a shame that.
There's been a few things like that, which have popped their heads up then went away again (CRT although you can get this one through xposed now)
Doesn't matter it's not something i need, it's was just a nice touch which for me made a little difference
Thanks again chaps.

We have the heads up which is ok but it's no Halo is it ?
More than certain i'll be flashing D.Unicorns, will see if they have any ways to add it but i'm pretty sure after whats been said here that it's probably gone for good.
Real shame.

aicp, crdroid, and broken are all very stable.
For now, nothing beats stock for battery life, and gravitybox gets you many of the custom ROM features.

The maintainer for clark (ie. Moto X Style/Pure) has left the Broken team, no one has replaced them so our device is being dropped from their development.
TBH, this was, and probably still is, the most stable custom ROM I ever tried on the MXPE... Too bad it's not one of their supported devices anymore.

Yea I wholeheartedly agree with this. Broken was by far the best ROM on MM. Once I was on it I was wondering what I was doing with my life. Everything that didn't work on every other ROM, worked. And then I saw it was no longer being supported and it was very disappointing. Luckily the Ground Zero Roms have saved this device for me. The N ROMS from them are really really good, with nearly no problems at all. I am on Validus, but reports from all three have been overall positive.

I had tried DU at some point between January and February and...something was broken. I feel like it was bluetooth, camera. Something I used all the time didn't work so I couldn't stick with it. Without Broken though, you're right, DU would be next on the list.

Good news on Android O for 3/3T

Good news for us

Promises promises promises
The updates already slower down. Especially with stable ver

If it was up to me, just give us your camera app as a complete apk with all needed blobs included like google does it for Nexus/Pixel.
That would be good news.
Android O has to be expected from this device, anything less would be a shame (looking at the op2...)!

I wont agree. If you see AOSPA are the first custom rom which adds not only new features but improves core stuff as well. The camera and new post processing algorithm for example is better than OOS which is a huge step also the color engine though in its infancy is very good and is building on top of OOS theme engine. They have also fixed the voice call drain using custom firmware. So there are things they have done right and improved stuff. So I guess AOSPA has started right. If they can just continue making solid improvements its would be a fantastic idea.

OOS color theme is just enough for me,
Voice call is fixed in today's beta 8,
Dunno about camera we need more proof and test...
Anyway,i was a big fun of AOSPA in the past so let's wait and see,maybe i'll give it a try when OnePlus drop support for the 3T(if they don't drop the support and die again)

Improved camera quality is a big boast. I don't think they'd do it if they couldn't back it up. It's been sitting on my internal storage waiting to be flashed. I think I'm going to back up tonight and flash my first custom rom tomorrow. That's really and truly a testament to OxygenOS as well as Paranoid Android.

Is it true that Android O would have native substratum theme enabled, thereby negating the need for rooting the phone? Can someone confirm?

Yes let's hope so. My intentions was to know whether this would be available on stock rom's or just custom rom's. I think Oxygen OS is above par as compared to the best smartphones out there when it comes to stock rom so this would be a stellar addition as and when it happens, or lets say if it happens.

Oreo 8.0 Custom ROM's popping up everywhere

As I scroll through everyday threads here on XDA I keep getting amazed how fast the developers are building Shamu ROM's with Google's latest and greatest Oreo 8.0.
So far I have used only SiXROM, versions 1.1 and 1.2 and it has been very good, especially the 1.2 version, which now looks more polished. Force closes are almost entirely gone now (it random rebooted just once, don't know why), and to my knowledge with only the NFC not working at all.
I've seen also (and getting very good reviews by users) that there are a couple of more Oreo ROM's like crDroid (version Beta 2 - 18-Sep-17) and Republic of Madness ROM Oreo (21-Sep-17) with a lot more coming, like PureNexus (I guess), LOS and Dirty Unicorns. And although we are still at early stages, these builds are almost ready to be used day-to-day.
Anyway, just wanted to know from you if you had a chance to use any of these Oreo ROM's for the N6 and what you think of them thus far.
Cheers and keep on flashing.

I'm waiting for PureNexus

I am on Nitrogen O Shamu. Its great.

I don’t like these kind of polls because then we’re trying to favor one rom over another. We shouldn’t judge a rom based on feedback, because every rom is different. It’s like everyone will have a different opinion.
But anyways, I’m waiting for a stable build, I know these devs are doing good work but patience is a virtue.

Using Nexus 5x since my Nexue 6 is cracked. I can say that although Nexus 5x is officially supported and "more stable" Shamu runs Oreo like a champ and is actually faster. My Nexue 5x is constantly freezing up. Can't wait until my girlfriend's iPhone gets returned so I can enjoy Pixel XL.

What About GApps?
So far I've only tried S.i.X's first Oreo build, it was looking pretty good then and it's likely gotten jmuch better. Not only waiting for more stable build, but I want GApps, I use OpenGApps. My shamu is my daily driver, I travel a lot, and I use it a lot so it's gotta be stable. Though I usually keep a copy of a good stable release build at all times in case I run into trouble and need to get things working fast. Most of my favorite devs are building Oreo for shamu so I'm sure there'll be some cool stuff happening in the next month or two. I can wait. I think Carbon ROM is building Oreo too and I'm also curious to see what OctOS might do.

Only AOSP/PIXEL Pie ROM development?

I really prefer having less customization because the result in bad translation and bugs, is there any rom coming soon that will be completely stock android?

I tried previous build of this and haven't found any rom downloading this now.

I've actually found the last Arrow Oreo rom to be surprisingly stable and stock-like. It's what I imagine the device COULD have been like stock. I also dont like roms that veer too far from stock and this is what I've settled on.
Still can't beat stock battery life though. None of the customs can. Now that Oreo is out and the kernel has been made open source, I was really hoping we'd see something come out that was closer to the performance of stock, but it last I checked most efforts were on experimental Pie development rather than perfecting what we have.

Yeah, i like that one but i found some bugs and it has quite a lot of features that i don't really need
I would like a completely AOSP ROM with the sqiared QS/dialogs but guess we won't see one since there is no AOSP maintainrr for our device

Curious, what bugs did you find?
Mine has been been Rock solid, only issue I've had is the nav buttons don't rotate with the screen when in landscape. But I can live with that. Other features are that I didn't want (like tap to wake) you can disable. It feels stock to me, I can't imagine anything more basic than this that wouldn't be leaving something out.
