[Q&A][KK]Review of 2 roms, with tips and bugs and future suggestions

Introduction:
Everyone uses there android device differently, and as a result not everyone will be looking for the same features from a ROM, and as a result developers simply do not know what to do to satisfy the many needs of the andoid users.
what I aim to do with this thread is to provide a review of 2 of the best ROMs out there for our device (based on my opinion), and include some tips, bugs and suggestions for the future.
What I have here is a review of 2 android 4.4.2 ROMs for the xperia arc/s. the ROMs are VANIR AOSP and C-rom.
let's start with a introduction to VANIR AOSP:
Vanir aosp is a ROM built with the user who likes a degree of customization to there phone in mind. the devs behind it have decided to build a ROM completely based on what is important and necessary for the users. they added only those features that passed certain criteria and only those features were allowed to be put into the ROM build. any unnecessary features were not added.
The result is a light, super stable and lagless ROM that would be more than enough to please the android user.
THE GOOD:
-lots of customization options in settings
-very very stable
-very fast and all the time around 200mb free ram
-nice 'on the go mode' feature
-nice option for choosing boot animations
-dual panel mode for settings
THE BAD:
-only features the devs have picked are added to the rom, so if you have a feature you want but the dev thinks its not important it won't be added
-floating windows for apps cannot be moved
THE BUGS:
-sound manager forces close message every time I try to open it
-adding a new user causes a force close message to appear whenever trienf to open gallery
-swiping on the keyboard causes the aosp keyboard to force close
-screen recorder doesn't work (should just be removed from our devices completely, the arc will never be fat enough to screen record)
-camera video doesnt work (although ion kernel would be the problem)
C-ROM:
c-rom is a ROM that is simply mind blowing, the ROM just has every feature I can simply think off, and in some instances it had features I have never even heard off.
the dev behind it added every feature from android I can think off, all into one amazing rom, for those people who like to change every single thing on there phone.
THE GOOD:
-tons of customizations
-lots of free ram, around 200mb all the time
-super smooth
-good turn on and off speeds (experienced this with v5.9 not v5.6)
-movable floating windows
-on the go mode
THE BAD:
-opening apps in floating mode is a little tedious
-slightly high battery consumption
THR BUGS:
there are bugs in both versions of c-rom so here goes:
v5.6:
-multi user support doesn't work, causes tons of force close messages when switching to the new user
-no option for enabling widget support on the lockscreen (only way to get the option is by editing build.prop file, but that causes the high end graphics option to dissapear from the performance menu)
-sound recorder doesn't have a ui, so users can't launch it from drawer (vanir aosp has this)
-no dowbloads app from drawer, and hence I can't make shortcuts to the download manager because there sinply isn't icon for it.
-no option to opt out of c-rom stats, it came up once then disappeared, but I know the menu for it exists
-can't put apps into floating window mode with halo switched off (in vanir aosp you can do this)
v5.9 bugs:
-no camera (video) although could be due to ion kernel?
-kernel logo sometimes comes up while I am using the phone
-the button in the status bar that switches between the tiles and the notification view move out of alignment when pressed
-no save page option in the browser but the option is there?
-swiping on aosp keyboard causes it to force close
-no force high end graphics option in settings
-no sound recorder icon in drawer
-opening the advanced settings option in the performance control app causes a force close
-exposed module causes a bootloop (stuck on kernel logo)
-no option to opt out of c-rom stats
-multi user support works fine, but causes a force lose on all media apps, I.e. try opening gallery and it force closes
so as you can see both ROMs are each unique but they are considered (by me) the best ROMs for xperia arc.
some tips for everyone:
-downloads in kitkat are found under an app called 'documents'
-to enable widget support on lockscreen in c-rom v5.6 you need to modify build.prop file changing the low ram config option to false
-there is no sound recorder icon in the drawer, although the app is installed, if you want to record using it, create a new message and add an attachment, when picking the attachment pick sound recorder and that's it.
some suggestions for c-rom in the future:
-would be great if you could add a dual panel mode like in vanir
-a better way if opening apps in floating window
my final verdict though on both ROMs, is that they are both amazing ROMs, but I think the award has to go to c-rom, due to its vast number of customizations while being a stable and smooth ROM. Good job 3andala
I would like to also point out that, I am not disrespecting others developers who have made a kk ROM for xperia arc, I am simply giving my opinion on 2 ROMs that I really like and consider to be the best for my xperia arc.
my ultimate goal really from a thread like this is to maybe one day see all developers working on only one ROM, that would be the smoothest ROM, with the most features etc..... that everyone would use, and just simply have a ROM that takes the device to it's limits, a ROM that we can all say that its the most complete ROM ever made for the xperia arc, and there will never be a better rom for this device than this. anyone with me?
anyway that's it from me, I hope you liked what if provided and if I helped you let me know as it makes me happy.
P.S. is there any way of increasing the brightness of the notification LED? there are patches for this on ICS and jb but no patches for this on kitkat, so could anyone advise me how its done?

Installation Instructions
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
Coming from another rom/clean install:
>Reboot to recovery.
>Wipe system, cache, dalvik/art cache, data
>Flash rom zip and gapps
>Reboot
Updating from a previous build/dirty flash:
>Wipe system, cache, dalvik/art cache in recovery
>Flash rom zip, gapps and any other zips you may use
>Reboot
If you want root access, SuperSU will need to be flashed. After flashing, your device may boot twice before boot animation, don't worry it'll be fine after that.
You can use phhSuperuser as well for root access, get the it from here and you need to install the play store app also.
Substratum support is there as long as you have root and latest Substratum app. Some themes may have a little catching up to do, have fun testing them!
If you have any issues, grab a log after a clean flash, upload and link here please. Add steps to reproduce the issue in your post.
Do not report issues dirty flashing this over some unofficial build or with some custom kernel flashed (other than Arsenic Kernel).
Logcat Extreme app is great as you can choose to start recording a log just before reproducing an error and stop recording just after so you log just the part you need.
Xposed is not supported here, if you want to run it and have issues, try an Xposed thread for support and bug reports here only welcome with a clean install with no Xposed present.
Make sure to state which rom you are running when asking for support

Indeed, trees are stable now. In-call volume issue is also fixed and i've pushed the commit to lineage gerrit, so expect other roms to be stable too.
Tesla and Tipsy will follow similar device specific changelog.
For those who were waiting for the trees, you know where to find it.

Official GZR Maintainer :fingers-crossed: Keep Rocking Mehta Sir @CheckYourScreen

Thug much.
Btw some bugs on Validus
1. Those options which allow us to enable or disable data, wifi and BT by single tapping QS tiles, that doesn't work in expanded QS tiles.
Wifi and BT doesnt work, mobile data works.
2. Wolves den > status bar > battery
There is option which allows qs battery tile to be same as what we set in status bar, that doesn't work too.
3. When ticker is enabled, the notification text is coming over the center clock in status bar.
Fix em :3

Right @martinusbe ?

There is a changelog showing fixes but nothing listing bugs. The rom is stable so I'm guessing there are no important ones?

It does not let me install, I suppose it will be because I have version 5 of android, I get an error, and some patch .....

Very interesting small size ROM with more options... Only slim ROM is smaller ....

Nice work! waiting for Tesla

Stuck at bootscreen. Logo appears for a single animation frame and then disappears leaving the screen on bright black. Nothing happens following that except the phone heating up. Tried with flashing recommended kernel. No Gapps, no mods, nothing.

It boot fine on my phone @@ try again. I using multirom

@thinhx2
There was a certain hiccup during my download of the ROM. That could also be a reason for my problem. I am currently back to your LOS bases Kali NetHunter. Can't afford to waste another 400+mb (much more for setting up) this month. Will try it out when you release July update.

It costs 3 times the same to obtain similar ISP connection in my country. I am currently travelling and dependent on my mobile data (which is heavily limited). I can use a total of 6gb per month before encountering mammothian charges.

Yea, maybe that would have caused some data loss rendering the zip moot. I remember the downloaded file not having the usual naming pattern. I had to rename it to ".zip" to even flash it.

Viper fx work fine on my phone ,dont know why

1. WiFi Normal
2. WiFi drop
Wifi becomes very slow after a certain period of time (5-10 minutes). Slow, goods downloaded at 50 kB / s. I want to turn on and turn on Airplane Mode to work at the right speed again. After Airplane Mode is off, Speed ​​returns to normal.
Hopefully this problem can be fixed on the next build

I have noticed you have had similar issues with other ROMS and reported in their respective threads. Have you maybe considered the possibility that the problem is in fact with your specific device and not the ROM in general?

I'm curious how the op will handle the feature request.

I have tested all previous build of Liquid and they were real FC fests, with Google framework and system UI crashing every 5 seconds or so, but this one is actually usable. No FC in about 2 hours. Thank you.

Unfortunately I'm still facing those FCs

That is a bit strange, for me this rom is perhaps the best. I have not tried all oreo rom obviously, but among the ones I did, this is really good. I don't even feel the need to rollback to miui.

Ohkie.
One of the best and stable rom.
Smooth
Lot of customisation
Good battery yet (will test it more)
Gcmod5 working (front and back portrait mode working)
Will teat more!
Thanks developer. I appreciate your work bro. ???
Edit: beautiful rom seriously, great battery backup,fast charge enabled
Just don't like the stock data traffic monitor ? + no option to place the clock on left side of status bar ?
No problems found
No reboots
Substratum working too
Just the SU App don't show up but the rom is easily rooted.
Haven't tested any custom kernel yet.
Edit: battery drain at night about 10%
Something wrong with back button.
Still love this rom

Battery still at 40%, but it's stable, I'd say. I had exactly 1 random reboot the first time I ran Kmod for WhatsApp, but other than that it's fine. BB seems almost as good as NOS/AEX.

I think, yes. NitrogenOS is good too, but right now I'm using this rom + clarity 2.0 kernel, and I'm getting more battery backup than NOS + LH kernel. Also games like asphalt xtreme runs better for me in this rom.
Obviously games use more battery, but for normal usage it's really good.

* If you are dual volte user (sim1 and sim2 same jio ) . you will not get signal in sim2 . to fix just go mobile network tap sim2 then change the preferred network type "WCDMA" to "LTE'. voila now sim2 jio signal will come and dual volte will work

FAQ
Why is the security patch older then the latest AOSP patch?
CAF focus on delivering the latest hardware patches and are usually about a month behind Google on security patches, on the other hand, Google is usually a month or more behind on them on caf patches (sometimes months). No point in complaining about it, if you want the latest security patch, go with an AOSP based rom (like LineageOS), if you want latest qualcomm optimizations for our hardware as well as fixes, go with caf, its as simple as that.

Nice rom sir, thanks

Murali is in the house

A really good rom! Can you add pixel launcher and google apps like phone messages and other? That would be the best!

Best rom in terms of fluidity stability and battery life that I have tried so far

One week later: for me, best rom available. Haven't noticed any (certainly no reoccurring or major) bugs, performance is responsive at ALL times (wake up from standby, during low battery state, switching between apps and navigating the interface), quick and mostly fluid, with great battery life. Both in terms of standby drain (~0.5%-0.8% for me) and drain during active use (adaptive brightness and battery enabled, rooted with adaway, Bluetooth, WiFi, location and Data enabled, mostly browsing, YouTube, lots of Bluetooth music streaming, WhatsApp - no gaming, hardly any camera use. Average active drain (all according to ex kernel manager) ~10%. Will be staying with this for a while. Big thanks to the developer!

I m using retro kernel but camera isn't working

I switch to CodeX kernel and seems working now

the volume
The firmware is good. There are a couple of questions. How to increase the volume of the call? How to mute the headphone volume when calling?

I used pixel experience but I had huge battery drain and very little screen on time (4h) and missed notifications. Does this rom have these problems?

Good batterylife, very stable. Been using this for over a week now and haven't come across any issues.
Tried two other ROMs before this one but both had notification delays or no notifications at all and a few other issues.
Thanks.

In the latest version the wifi can not be turned on, I tried a clean installation and it was not solved

Yep. WIFI is bugged. I just used kernel from 07/06 and works for now.

Thanks to the dev! The ROM is pleasantly smooth and clean!
Please consider lowering the statusbar icons padding. It is a bit too high.

If you facing wifi bug in latest update 20/06/2019 flash this kernel

titanium backup is not working for me. Also, the touch stops to respond after a while and I have to lock and unlock again to fix it. Any one else facing these 2 issues ?
