Vanir ROM - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just an FYI since there are no threads anywhere that I can find, but official nightlies of VANIR ROM are being posted. It is probably the fastest thing I've ever had on my S4. Very impressed.

Join their G+ community and check the DHO and Nuke nightlies for links.
Here are direct links to the downloads. Nuke usually has the latest. I may also post my own builds from time to time if something interesting pops up on their gerrit.

Finding it a bit difficult for a feature list for our phone. Anybody know if IR works?

Thanks for posting this. I've seen the community on g+ before but had no idea it was available for the s4! Everything is solid so far

I have never run one this smooth. It is missing some toggles I like, quiet hours for one, but has lots of options like slim. Freaking fast!

Guess its time to set up a g+ only google account (no way I'm using my primary email address as a social media handle).

If you haven't heard of Vanir in general it's because your name is patrick.

I've been doing my own builds but here is no difference between DHO and Nuke. Use the latest one.

This ROM is very nice. Even got watch on to work. Something I've decided I can't live without. Been running all day. Battery life is going to be good to average I think. Some nice features. BeanStalk I think has a few more. But not quite this smooth. First chance I've had to run vanir. Impressed all in all. Thanks for posting op.

I was being lazy and I used the gapps from the bean stalk rom which I already had downloaded. Which are basically the full slim gapps. It's a 4.3 ROM so I figured it would work. I like the dark out of the box. There is a theme in vanir that inverts though. Not the true slim dark toggle, a system theme gets you to the same place though. You could also download the latest 4.3 gapps from goo.
