He probably means changing governors and I/O schedulers. Of course, going to Performance and Over clocking can get you a buttery smooth performance, and can murder your battery at the same time.

cpu: max 1832-1732 min 378 smartassv2 or intelliactive ....i/o : zen for internal and sio for external (read ahed internal : 512>>external: 1024) those settings are good for me... maybe the other users could prefer something else...so it's back to you to optimize your ROM :)

[MENTION=6163210]TheAvengingTITAN[/MENTION] these settings didn't effect my battery that much ..it's still great ....this is after 12-10 hours of usage maybe let's see what will happen in the next two days if it will get laggy or something (as a beginning the AICP is winning at the performance for sure) :)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Smartassv2 is a good choice to balance battery and performance without sacrificing much. I keep both my storages with Sio and sometimes bfq.

And yeah I do think AICP is leading the pack when it comes to performance.

Is it worth switching from RRM2 to RRM3 and also did your Mac Address change?
[Xperia SP General] NicestRudeGuy:
since TWRP is fast and simplified and it never gaved me such bugs i prefer TWRP but u can use philz as both do the same thing

after flashing M3 after apps optimisation when u reach the setup just reboot the device as advised by Furry :o
[Xperia SP General] RonaldW7:
Yes, RRM3 is very interesting, although the changes are not so many.

A tip: If the MAC change, flash Tangerine 3.0, the MAC address back to me. After that, if you prefer, flash Tangerine 3.4 and it will continue works (worked for me ?).
[Xperia SP General] Furrydaus:
Let me rephrase that

Yes, RRM3 is very interesting, although the changes are not so many for the user front end but many changes in the back end code.

Seeing people say not so many changes make me feel like all the backend code has been wasted :(
[Xperia SP General] Kaffeetrinker:
Users usually just notice the following changes:

- a new feature

- a fix of a bug thay were annoyed about

That doesn't mean they don't appreciate you rom. They just don't notice the same progress like when they updates from KitKat to Lollipop.

The changelog is very detailed. That's good, but not every user understands what's going on. You could add a few explanations what the user gets from these changes. Like:

14 improvements so battery lasts longer

8 speed improvements...

Surely there will be one or two guys who say they don't notice anything. But these-ones are everywhere.

[Xperia SP General] Robin>Hood:
It seems like you're the one to ask about the Lollipop roms. I don't own the device anymore, but I do maintain it for my younger brother and he has some problem with the offline charging bug at the moment, so he's gonna bring it to me tomorrow to have it fixed.

But I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade CM11 to CM12(.1) or maybe one of the other lollipop roms.

Which would you say is most stable / battery friendly? I would say Resurrection Remix or Temasek CM12.1 (from reading your amazing thread!).

Also, would you advise to use Tangerine 3.0 kernel?

And last: Did the camera performance improve with Lollipop and is there still the offline charging bug in these roms?

Hope you can help me out, as I'm not able to test all these roms myself... Thanks a lot in advance! :)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
There are quite a lot of ROMs to choose from when you think about it and there's quite some fought competition but each ROM has it's problems.

Recently CM12.1 has been having problems with its camera force closing and problems with a mac address (which won't affect you unless you have a filter for your router).

AICP has been doing very well on the ROM front and is my new first preference for a ROM to be used as a daily driver.. Good performance, no unexpected FCs or reboots, all good. If you take the extra advice the developer has provided for battery, you have a good ROM and you're ready and set.

Temasek is smooth and has a good performance, but it's sources are a bit outdated and it lags behind all the other ROMs.

BlissPop is if your brother is really into customization and smoothness lol. Its great because it feels like a ROM with xposed features.

RR M3 is still being tested here and there as its still a new ROM. So far everything is working great, had one or two reboots, otherwise no complaints.

OwnROM is new to the scene and is still in alpha so there will be a few unexpected 'issues' here and there.

Regarding the camera, most ROMs have upgraded to CamerNext by CyanogenMod to replace the old camera, which is good because Camera3 was really buggy for us. If you want the best camera app, you can get Camera fv 5 as its output is amazing and its auto focus is very fast.

And about Tangerine kernel, I think it would be best to stay on the stock kernel that the ROM comes with unless your brother is experienced in getting out of sticky situations and tweaking modules and frequencies to his liking.

And about battery, any ROM can have its battery last for a long time as long as its Greenified, uses governors that are battery friendly (I recommend Smartassv2) and taking advantage of Deep Sleep.

If you want to discuss further, you can find me and a few other experienced XDA members on #XperiaSP on kik messenger. We can answer any further questions you have about Lollipop.

thank you :good:
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Do you have the developers permission to post this notice?

Its just a bug and some people aren't bothered by the camera so it's fine for them to flash.

I understand the developer is aware of the issue but it's still not a reason not to flash. CM12.1 Has camera issues, didn't stop me from flashing the latest build.

Second ....I'm just saying to people cuz new users don't read! And after they flash it they will notice that the camera is broken..... :)

(in the op of Aicp I posted that if the camera isn't a problem for you you can flash it) No need to get mad my friend I'm just saying to them to be aware! ( and I'm not that kind of people who just post for no reason....)

Thank you :) :good:

Temasek V12.6 is the best ROM of all time. Very good battery life. Excellent performance. Congratulations dev for this great job. But I have a problem. Applications do not install. I clean cache "Google Play Services" and "Play Store", but not good results. I flashed the ROM, following the steps of the entire OP, but problems persist.

Temasek V12.6

Kernel Stock ROM
[Xperia SP General] rafigh89:
Which one of the lolipop rom, not rebooting randomly? I using vanir and want to test other roms.
[Xperia SP General] Deleunes254:
Hi [MENTION=5651106]flash-[/MENTION] could you help me with this one?

I'm a little unsure between flashing AICP b2 and Temasek.

Which one is the best for you?

I'd love to get as much thingies from stock rom like illumination bar, which AICP seems to fully support. But does temasek have better performance and battery?

Also, does music pulse work on AICP? :D (and temasek)

Thank you in advance!
[Xperia SP General] OsGhaly:
Try this solution:
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I'd say go for AICP as its more updated and supported. Its performance is amazing but I can't guarantee much about the battery consumption.

The music pulse from Discolight Lollipop has worked on every ROM I've tried. So it works on both ROMs.

[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Camera FV 5 and here's why...

1. It has the best output image that can be taken with the XSP

2. It has the fastest auto focus.

3. Its being constantly updated.

4. It delivers an SLR experience with the SLR like user interface.

It's not a free app, but its worth your bucks. It's about €2.99 for European zones for Google Play.

The TITAN Has Landed. Hide Your ROMs From This Critic! The Official Maintainer of XSP Lollipop Hub.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Hold your horses,

CM12.1 has updated so that no fixes are necessary to get the camera working. There's also glove mod which makes things a bit more interesting. Also, adaptive brightness.

But I'll see how AICP does.

from where u guys got camera fix for aicp biuld 2 ?

the op said he would released a new rom instead of a fix
[Xperia SP General] halloarno:
I tried both new builds this week. I can tell you aicp-r4b2 (with camera fix) is far out the best in performance and features. Temasek gets a bit laggy after 1 day.

How is battery compared to stock?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
the update is only 4 days away so yeah you can wait for that (but if you using some buggy ROM then flash the AICP and include in it the camera fix :p ) ....we are all exited for the t-kernel v4.0 :victory:
[Xperia SP General] tiendat1295:
In PAC rom KK, there is a feature called "Screen Peek" (when you press and hold the camere button while the phone is sleeping, screen will turn on, and when you release the button screen will turn off).

I find it extremely convenient when i want to check the time, as i only have press the button one time to peek at the screen, then it will automatically turn off.

I wonder is there any current lollipop rom include that feature or may i have it with a 3rd app?:)
[Xperia SP General] NicestRudeGuy:
ohh my today i saw a pic from xperia m then i clicked the same with my xperia sp

and m was better :mad:
[Xperia SP General] yash539:
camera settings n rom also matters bro

as u know stock rom takes grt photos but when it comes to custom non sony roms it sucks
[Xperia SP General] NicestRudeGuy:
both devices on cm12.1 and xperia m build is even worse.

maybe my lens is scratched thats the reason
[Xperia SP General] yash539:
yaa that might be reason for me my lens is scratched so i dont get sharp images
[Xperia SP General] Kaffeetrinker:
You can polish your lens! You can buy stuff for this everywhere.

But the scratches aren't the reason you don't get sharp pictures. It's a software issue. I've got two SPs and tested it with stock and cyanogen.

You've gotta live with it. Don't expect other apps from the store to take better pictures. The issue is deep in the system.

We only can wait until someone finds a way to improve the camera libs/drivers/whatevers...

[Xperia SP General] yunamunchy:
have anyone tried this? i dont have knowledge in decompile and recompile so i dont know how to do this one
[Xperia SP General] rockersharp:
The only problem I've had with every lollipop ROM, it reboots randomly and after a few reboots the SELINUX status changes to disabled. Was using RR M2P for a month now and it happened.

PS: the frequency of reboots is low, like once every 2days.

Would be ace if any developer can help me with a solution here.

PPS: I've followed every step while installation and I'm not an amateur, so please refrain with the generic reply (clean install, etc, etc)

Sent from my Xperia SP
[Xperia SP General] yunamunchy:
why stay on RR M2P then? many roms to choose from, like cm12, AICP, ownrom, temasek, even blisspop got updated too
[Xperia SP General] rockersharp:
because M2-P is the best, performance-wise. With the source code updated I'll give the new builds and kernel a try tho
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
M2P isn't the best but was the best at one point. Just after a while of its release, it was later taken down by better ROMs such as Temasek and BlissPop (which never gave me a single bootloop).

If you're trying a new ROM, I'd recommend CM12.1, AICP or BlissPop

The TITAN Has Landed. Hide Your ROMs From This Critic! The Official Maintainer of XSP Lollipop Hub.
[Xperia SP General] yunamunchy:
you can try new roms bro. rr m3 is quite good but seems to be laggy for me. AICP and cm12 are very good roms and a really must try. i didnt try blisspop yet but it is a blazing rom they say.
[Xperia SP General] Furrydaus:
Listen to them. There isn't anymore need to go with RR. I, the developer can even say that. Go and hope onto other newer ROMs. They're more stable and more fast. Rest assured, I'm helping them out too :)
[Xperia SP General] Suriteka:
Between AICP, CM12.1 and the latest Blisspop ?

Which is the best ? With Tangerine Kernel V4.

Wow so much ROMS... It's so beautiful, I can't. Thanks to all the developers. Really. We will have a new phone in our hands because of these new performances and battery-life.

[Xperia SP General] yunamunchy:
it is possible by adding KSM support to the kernel. if by default, ksm is enbled already then that is the maximum ram possibly achieve. also the ram can be further increased by removing some drivers like display and camera
[Xperia SP General] chachour:
we can enable KSM with kerne audiutor and T-kernel supports it.
