Validus ROM for Lenovo A6000 and A6000 Plus is build from source by Harshit Jain . This is an unofficial build . We already have some ROMs which are built from source such as Ressurection Remix , AICP, MOKEE and AOSP Extended. The best thing about all these roms is the performance and battery backup . These Roms are nearly bugless and can be used as daily driver.

So lets talk about the new Rom i.e Validus Rom or Validus OS. I am currently using this rom on my lenovo A6000 Plus . This rom is built by Ground Zero Roms team . Ground Zero Team maintains 3 Roms and these are Tesla Rom, Tipsy Rom and Validus Rom. This rom is bugless for now because I did not noticed any bugs yet.

As usual Validus Rom is very smooth with stock kernel, thanks to harshit for optimizing stock kernel to such a perfect level. There are no customization available for kernel .All options are same as we see in a stock kernel . Fast charge option is not available .

In terms of customization , this rom offers some useful options . Not much customization is available as we see in Resurrection Remix Rom . This rom has an inbuilt dark theme which switches the default white theme with pure black color theme , it also looks good. See screenshots.

• Theme Resource
