Pi day ( P stands for Purity!)


An irrational π Day to everybody!

Today we (few of us -_-") celebrate the most famous irrational number. I take this opportunity to talk about the next rom I am testing right now, that seems to be one that will long!

After little more than a week from the sources release of Android 4.2.2 for the Galaxy Nexus (maguro JDQ39) one of my favorite roms strikes back with its newer version: Purity v5. Thanks to magnificent work of DarioSF, an Italian Android Developer, the smoothest and cleanest rom (after the sock one) for the device I own gets updated.

The concept behind the rom is very simple: a few features and a lot of optimizations to keep it as clean and smooth as possible. Here's the rom features list:
Features
  • JellyBean 4.2.2 JDQ39
  • AOSP sources based
  • Built with Google Gcc 4.7.3, O3, strict-aliasing
  • Fully deodexed, Rooted, Zipaligned, Busybox included
  • 0,90,180,270 degree rotation option
  • CM Tiles fully customizables!
  • CM Lockscreen security Settings
  • Extended power menu with settings
  • Theme Chooser
  • Clear all button on recent apps 
  • Option to control cursor in text fields using volume keys
  • Allow volumes to be unlinked
  • Volume rocker wake & Volume music control
  • Fixed dream settings
  • Quick message and reply & Emoji and Strip unicode support
  • Allow user-installed apps to be disabled and force stop when disabling an app
  • Templates functionality 
  • Split SMS functionality
  • Dialer - T9 & Dialpad settings
  • Low audio fix
  • Increased lock screen widget limit to 9
  • Advanced Browser Settings
  • Clock style Settings
  • Status bar brightness control 
  • Navigation Bar Settings
  • Expanded Desktop Mode
  • Cm Calculator App
  • Status Bar Settings
  • Lockscreen shortcut Settings
  • Silent Mode & Quite Hours
  • Kill app back button
  • Custom lockscreen background 
  • Purity Wallpapers app
  • Hide ime switcher
  • Bind VolUp+VolDown to toggle the ringer
  • Advanced Phone Settings (ex.Vibrate on Answer...)
  • LED control settings

Few things that I love are missing (like the AOKP navbar customiziation or the Fast Charge quick toggle) but I am more than willing to sacrifice these functionalities for its amazing performance. The rom comes out with our loved AK Kernel in its newer stable version (Purity v30). I changed it upon the latest nightly version (Cyclon v810) and after a couple of days of use I haven't got any force close, freeze or lag issue.
