Xperia SP Performance on Custom Roms

Does anyone gets approach the performance of the XperiaSP stock roms?

I mean most 5.x Roms are great, i tried many of them cm12, ResurrectionRemix, ACIP, FlexOS, BlissPop ...

Using Tangerine Kernel v6.1

I tried to optimize the Performance, regardless of power consumption:

CPU Clock: 1944MHz (Governor: performance)

GPU Clock: 400MHz (Governor: performance)

MPDecision: disabled

Temperature Throttle: disabled

I/O Scheduler: sioplus (256kb read-ahead)

LMK: aggressive

Apps: Greenify, SD Maid

AnTuTU - Score: 32370

The usability is usually very good, but sometimes the rom hangs for 10secs or more. (very annoying)

Is someone getting a better performance than stock? Are there any things to do, making the phone useablility more smoothly?
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
if you want ...enable intelliplug it's good....128 is the best read-ahead for our phone .....and enable temperature TH....for gpu put it on onedaemand if you are not playing games ....cpu put it to lagfree or itellidemandv2 :cowboy:

for me no hangs at all with any ROM(for now i'm on AICP) :)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
The new AICP (Official Nightlies) is quite the masterpiece. I'd definitely recommend flashing this.

No need to be a git about it. I posted in the CM12.1 thread because I was hoping that the developer might be able to answer my question. I posted in this thread because I was hoping that somebody who was trying to do the same thing might be able to answer my question.

And yes, I did Google it. I couldn't find anything about bootanimations with working sounds on Lollipop, which is why I posted in these threads.

Compare to the last temasek or blisspop Build's performance, better or equal?
[Xperia SP General] dic1911:
agree with you, but I can't get wifi to work after flash tangerine 6.1
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
I'd post that in the Tangerine Kernel thread if you haven't already.
[Xperia SP General] halloarno:
No problem with wifi for me. Try flash again or maybe different ROM. If problemen still exist -> flash tft file with flashtool and start all over.
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
like [MENTION=6012697]halloarno[/MENTION] said flash it again ....but the thing is make sure you are flashing it with recovery not in fastboot mode (cuz if you are flashing it in fastboot mode then you have to change the wifi module manually :) )
[Xperia SP General] NicestRudeGuy:

[Xperia SP General] Dark Passenger:
Hi just tried recovery. TWRP touch doesnt work.(It worked once on start and first button press then touchscreen fails to respond). Will try the rom tonight(IST).
[Xperia SP General] Furrydaus:
Its probably going to boot but it will be super laggy and etc. Like my previous AOSP experiences. Just saying. But if it isn't then I will be pleasantly surprised :D
[Xperia SP General] dic1911:
I think I might just get stupid yesterday, yup, forget the WiFi module things, will retry and thanks for remind me :)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I think the performance is better. Without the bugs that BlissPop has, AICP is running faster than ever and has a much smoother multitasking.

The new features like floating window as well help make the ROM stand out.

[Xperia SP General] rockersharp:
Care to share your kernel profile please? Using AICP with Tangerine 6.1; used the settings as mentioned by many but the ROM is laggy.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I stuck to stock kernel that came with AICP. Its 1.7 GHz is faster than Tangerine's 1.9 GHz. Try the ROM without tangerine and report back what its like.

With stock kernel I have received 0 hiccups, hangs, system ui crashes, reboots, etc.

I'm currently on the 0626 build of CM12.1 with Tangerine Kernel V6, and I haven't experienced any performance issues (yet). The only problem is that Ambient Display is broken. Apart from that, everything seems to be working fine.
[Xperia SP General] Rupant:
Yes I think it was working
[Xperia SP General] twodarkmessiah01:
Does anyone also has the problem, that random apps are loosing their data, so you have to reconfigure them?

It happend on user apps like Whatspp and systemapps like VPN Settings.

Has anyone the same problem[emoji19] , or better a solution?[emoji18]

It happened to me when i was using flex os old builds with Apps like uc browser, google now, etc.

Tried clean install but after few days of use it was back. Maybe sources were old.

But now i am on ownrom, I didn't got this issue till now.

My suggestion would be a clean install or try another rom.

Hi ^^

Emmm sorry I'm a new member and my english isnt very well, but I had a problem with almost all roms, I think my Xperia SP is wrong because everytime who I install any rom my phone bricks =b with all roms except the purEXPERIence but purEXPERIence isnt the best rom =b Anyone can help me? Can understand me first? xD Ok thanks I wait. Further I had tried with Philz, CWM touch and TWRP recoveries x_x

:confused:
[Xperia SP General] Kaffeetrinker:
Your English is OK, but not the information you offer!

Brick can mean a lot. Stuck on Sony logo, bootloop, it can happen immediately after installation or after you install some apps...

You know, most beginners are called noobs because they don't give a proper description of an error.

So far, what you told us was like:

My car doesn't start, how to fix?

Give detailled information, then we'll help you.

Last but not least, your question doesn't belong to this thread! The thread title doesn't look like it's about bricking phones, he?

Open a new thread with a meaningful title under Q&A.

Flashed the latest aicp build and i didnot flash tangerine kernel . After the phone rebooted the touch was not working so i hard reset the phone and was trying to enter into the recovery but was unable to do so . Cannot use rashr . Please if someone can tell me how to enter recovery on stock kernel on aicp. i guess the recovery will be cyanogen recovery. Please tell me how to do so .

If nothing helps you can use fastboot to flash a new kernel+recovery. You will need to download "flashtool" for this.

I'm moving from AICP v10 to the latest CM12.1 build, AICP seemed to have bad battery life, and my device would sometimes freeze. Maybe it's because I installed it with Philz, or maybe it needed a different GAPPS package. Anyway, I hope that this ROM lasts me more than a day :p.

actually i'm using AICP from b2 that's mean that i'm using for 1-2 months now

Anyone here uses BlissPop?

I noticed that the touch response is funny, and I know it is not broken either

Also how do you fix that white text in notifications?

Also I would like to know your experience, if you had tried both BlissPop and AICP. Which is better in your opinion?
[Xperia SP General] yunamunchy:
AICP of course because its up to date
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
AICP because it's official and gets the updated sources every two days from the nightly system. It isn't kanged (like BlissPop) and Bliss's development has been suspended for the moment. Bliss hasn't fixed a lot of bugs while AICP is clean and packed with more features and the new famous floating window.

The TITAN has landed. Hide your works from this critic! The official maintainer of the XSP Lollipop and M Hub.
[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
I seriously do not care about sources that much, neither did i notice any critical bugs in Bliss. Sometimes, newer is not better. This can be proven by some situations where a new commit results in multiple (sometimes critical) regressions.

But hey I will try AICP anyway to feel any difference.

But did both of you tried Bliss? Practically I am still stuck with Bliss for a week and I am quite annoyed with the white text in notifications in the notification drawer.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Yes I've tried Bliss and it was fast but nothing compared to AICP.

To fix the white text in notifications, use a theme, it solved the issue for me :)

I am currently on bliss, unless I change kernel to interactive or something like lionheart or performance, I get a seriously laggy phone, bliss seems a bit buggy. How good is AICP? does it provide the level of customization that bliss provides?

Also, every rom I have flashed lags like ****, from stock to cm to bliss, is it something specific to my phone or do your phones lag as well? I read about brilliant performance levels and great battery lives. I barely make it to 4 hours if I sacrifice hell a lot of performance. Frustrating.

[Xperia SP General] TechnoSparks:
There has been cases where some SP users kept having issues with many ROMs. All they ever claim is that they always experience lags regardless of any ROM. Their problem got me wondering that it might be specific to some devices. I do feel interested to find out the difference between the laggy SP and the fine SP, but I don't think I am that knowledgeable when it comes to specifications.

I am on bliss and I am currently running the config explained in post #3 of the AICP ROM thread. Yes, the device is smooth
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Just a quick notice,

A new AICP nightly has released fixing the audio issues from the previous nightly build. There is however one offline charging bug which doesn't show the charging animation when it's charging.
