[Xperia SP General] Zenith:
Can anyone tell me which ROM has the best battery life in standby?

I'm tired battery being drained 15-20% over night.

TIA
[Xperia SP General] darjwx:
I think the most. Aicp, xenon, i think also cm12.1...
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
You should use wakelock blockers and apps like Greenify to help you save your battery big time.
[Xperia SP General] anisingh62:
how to use wakelock blockers cause i know everything but didn't know how to use wakelock blockers and which apps to blocks?
[Xperia SP General] Zenith:
I already used Greenify (Boost mode) and Amplify,

btw 'Google Services' and 'Android OS' were eating up most of the battery..
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Before I reflash the July 6th build of CM12.1 (again), does anyone have any other ROM's to recommend? I've already tried AICP, and didn't find the performance or battery life very good.
[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
You mean 6th August right?

I would try ArchXperia, AICP and XeHD.
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
Nope, I'm still on the old July build :p. I might try Xenon HD then, thanks.

tried aicp and xenonhd, Latest build (05-08-15). With t-kernel versions 7.0, 7.0xhd as well as 7.1 and 7.1xhd...

Issue: freeze momentarily screen turning yellow for atleast 5sec.

Is this issue related to kernel or ROM?

Hope fix might come out soon...

Sent from my Xperia SP: xenonhd + tkernelv7.1xhd
[Xperia SP General] rockersharp:
I think it's a kernel issue because AICP with Tangerine 6.6 works decent but with anything 7.x and above it lags on a few occasions. Can't speak for Xenon though...
[Xperia SP General] audiedevera27:
I agree with you, aicp with t-kernel 7.x series a bit laggy on my experience.

[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Regarding Tangerine Kernel,

I've been using 7.1 before it released with a few other users and not sure if that was a different pre release version, but my phone hasn't run into any issues.

I'm running AICP with Ondemandplus, 1.7 max freq for the CPU with Intelliplug on with Eco Performance. This didn't affect my battery whatsoever and gave me a strange 10h screen time (strange in a good way).

Don't use these performance/battery saving mods, tweaks or scripts.

10 hours?! How's that possible? I can get up to 5-5,5 hours in my phone with interactive kernel and sio scheduler. By the way, would you now recommend using tangerine kernel with aicp 10 (regarding the 30-7 build) for daily use?
[Xperia SP General] NicestRudeGuy:
any 1 know how to put z3 or lollipop ui on stock rom ?
[Xperia SP General] yash539:
it might be possible since once i got 7 hrs of screen on time on aicp build 3 unofficial after that none of the aicp rom gave me that much battery :p
[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
If he bought it in 2014 it is possible. There are many different Xperia SPs. Even if 2 XSPs have the same model number they're hardware can be different. The newer ones (2014) have been updated and have a nice bug-less hardware/software. And also: He probably cares about his battery...(battery cycles, no fast-charge etc.)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Yes, I take care of my battery like a baby :D lol. After some digging, I came to a conclusion that there was a second line of XSPs that were released that fixed screen flickering and such (hardware? Idk) and they're more speedy than that of the ones from the original launch.

I compared my 2014 SP to a 2013 SP and noticed some differences... In speed, battery and such. It's quite minor but there is a slight difference.

[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
It is also possible that you have bought the 2013-SP in 2014.

Sony really made it confusing. They could have just made a new model number for the updated phones.

[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Great news for members with screen flickering! The latest unofficial CM build fixes the issue as [MENTION=5411190]Mrcl1450[/MENTION] modified his kernel to .207.

Some users have to go into Developer Options and tap on Disable HW Overlays to get rif of the screen flicker!

[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
I have fully reviewed the ROM. It is great.

I won't "leak" the full report, but here is stuff you can expect:

- an amazing boot animation and great ringtones

- great performance and battery life

- Fast connects/disconnects to Wi-Fi and mobile data as well as more stable connection (signal)

can u share the build u made ? :D
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Here's some quick information regarding this new RR build:

A. The first build (this current one) might stick to just a build for testing

B. Another RR version is to come out soon so the first public release might be RR 5.5.4

C. The next build is considered to sport a source built Tangerine for those who love tangerine...

D. A possible opt in for Official Resurrection Remix like Furry's.

Thanks [MENTION=6766105]CubeDev[/MENTION] for testing and giving valuable feedback :) .

Oh and... There's gonna be more ROMs randomly popping out of nowhere... So watch out for those ;)

New rom coming really soon, it's name is StryFlex
[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
Please stick with the stock kernel. It has nice 8:30 hours on screen time (browsing, chatting etc.) which is better than the Tangerine kernel (6 hours). The performance is also great on the stock kernel.

In RR there are many small bugs like "Settings" crash when toggling Bluetooth quickly as well as other bugs which I forwarded to the developer (@akhilnarang). He will do his best to fix them.

MHL - TV-Out and other stuff

Hi, I'm new here in the forums, at least as an active member.

I have a Xperia SP for over 2 years now and always used stock rom, I'm intending on using lollipop in it but I'm afraid of somethings that you may help me with.

I use my xperia SP (a lot) with a MHL to HDMI adapter in a TV, it's almost replacing my entire Desktop and probably the next years I won't have a PC anymore.

My major doubt for using lollipop or any other custom rom is about this, will MHL drivers, TV out and other features this port offer work if I use custom roms?

If it's not asking too much, what rom should I use, that has the best performance and the best stability?

Thanks for reading, waiting for good news here!
[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
Try out. If it doesn't have the drivers (it should), then you can still get back to stock. I recommend AICP (found in the Xperia SP Development forum).

The long awaited ROM by [MENTION=5262839]STRYDER~007[/MENTION] is finally here! Releasing TODAY . I'm proud to present the first ROM with a ported LP 5.1 Xperia System UI, Stryflex LP ! . It doesn't just include the System UI, but loads more stuff that will shock you ;) .​

But theres a few things to watch out for!

1. Some Quick settings, Album and music are not working due to crashes of MediaProvider

2. There is a white status bar Issue which can be fixed using the theme provided by the dev.

If you have any issues or FCs or bugs, please help the developer fix them by using Logs :)

Don't forget to thank him for his work! :p A lot of effort was put into the making!

Keep apps greenified and don't get my notifications? No thanks I'm fine with my screen on time ?

I recommend for you to use Greenify at its fullest. This means with its Xposed features enabled as well. Spend some bucks on Greenify and I am sure you will be satisfied (or maybe not, but needless to say I do!)
[Xperia SP General] RandomUser017:
As far as I know, there is an option to still get the notifications.

The GCM feature still doesn't work all that well. I do use greenify but I don't greenify the apps that I use frequently.

Now that's weird. If you use Amplify please make sure that you don't limit Greenify main components. Also please whitelist Greenify in Power Nap if you use Power Nap.

Why I said so is that I greenify all apps that I use frequently. This includes WhatsApp, but GCM works wonderfully for it

If all fail, I guess, I can help further no more :(

Recently I got onto CM to find out why some known devs were always using it. So I tried CM with [MENTION=2233641]Adrian DC[/MENTION] 's patches and I feel like I judged CM way too hard. CM and Adrian's patches are an absolute monster. Give it a shot.

And my apologies for not updating the OP, I'm at a really serious point in my academic life and that should explain my drop in activity on xda.
[Xperia SP General] vvaklnprm:
Temasek?

Is the latest Temasek build stable and smooth? Coz I used the previous build and faced heavy lagging and crashes after using the phone for a long time without a reboot. Once I rebooted it used to come back to normal performance.. So has there been any improvements in the latest one?

And is it worth switching over from CM 12.1 31/08 (with patches)??
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
If you don't mind the lack of customization compared to AICP and Temasek, its worth it. And 09/02 is also great with the patches.

I am seeing a humongous performance and stability increase on 31/08 with tangerine 9. I also have flashed Adrian's patches
[Xperia SP General] dic1911:
It says XenonHD is the champion of performance in OP

But i got confused after saw replies in threads these days

Any suggestions between AICP, XenonHD, and Temesek?
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
The reason it was put as champion is because at the time, all the AICP nightlies were laggy and instable. XeHD had a clean and smooth source with r13 when others were still in r9.

If you want to try Layers, go for XeHD. If you want customization, speeds and nightlies, go for AICP. you'll get some of Adrian's new Doze features with it that a lot of people like.
[Xperia SP General] twoDarkMessiah:
L speed mod

Does someone tried "L SPEED" on AICP, BlissPop or XEON HD. Can it increase the performance or are the roms already optimized to maximum.

L SPEED

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-201
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I have used that on 5.0.2 and it made a slight difference, but I wouldn't advise you use that on ROMs like AICP because they wont really make a difference because AICP is fast enough and L speed would wear off the next time you flash an update, so there really is no point.
