About dirty unicorn, the single most serious bug would be the recent menu freeze sometimes?

What about the performance, from what I read in the review, it is second only to FlexOS?
[Xperia SP General] BrokeDude12345:
Firstly, great thread OP. Was looking for something like this when I was deciding between KK-ROMS

Secondly, and this question goes to everyone using Lollipop here, what ROM would you all recommend? I'm using RR-Milestone-1 and I'm thinking of upgrading to Milestone-2 or FlexOS. Which has been better, in your personal experience?

Thirdly, I used Philz to flash RR-Milestone-1 and I'm getting issues such as SystemUI FCs and random reboots. Why is TWRP recommended? I can't get it to work on my device ever. There's no Touch Response.

Thanks :)
[Xperia SP General] Sibat Al Nistas:
My experience with the lollipop roms

I found Dirty Unicorns Rom to be the fastest and most stable of them all.

It is also the most customizable comparing to the others (IMO). So far So good (although on first installation after some time I got settings and some app fc and later fc's on more apps for some reason) After re installation it's going well so far.

[No default file manager]

The 2nd fastest was FlexOS although Calls didn't work and Call Fix didn't entirely fix calls. After applying the fix I got strange sounds and no voice for like 20 secs before calls started to work. Re flashing didn't work. Also Viber account integration didn't work.

[No default file manager]

Resurrection Remix Milestone2P was really stable and fast (probably not as fast as Dirty Unicorns or FlexOS according to my experience)

but black/non transparent navigation,status,lock screen(fully black lock screen no matter what) was kinda annoying.

The devs are doing a really great job and it's wonderful what they brought to us in such short time. Looking forward to their updated roms.
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Yeah I later discovered that DU has some serious freezing to fix. Here's my top 3 ROMs:

1. M2P

2. M2

3. FlexOS

4. DU

Sent Using Dirty Unicorns. Have a great day!
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I'd upgrade to Milestone 2

TWRP is recommended because a more updated version (not the latest version, because its bugged) works well with 5.1 ROMs. PhilZ can cause trouble sometimes. I don't think the FCs are from PhilZ.

Sent Using Dirty Unicorns. Have a great day!
[Xperia SP General] incisi ker:
all of them roms in first day good,second day good,third day good but then laggy laggy laggy.i dont know the cause of this problem.step by step rom stability still bad.
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
yeah that's right ...but you can install kernel auditor and flash tangerine (don't flash it with dirty unicorns!!) and put the best settings like cpu Governor and i/o scheduler ....i use smartass v2 or lagfree intelldamandv2 and they all worked fine for me ....and try to install Greenfiy with donation package and greenify some apps and sys apps to help you improve the overall performance :)

p.s: i'm on MMR2 :D
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
I just do a regular clean using SD maid so that I don't experience any problems with any ROM.

Where the information about Temasek?
[Xperia SP General] mehmetkoruk:
I am using flexOS and i found fix it is very fast and stable
[Xperia SP General] vvaklnprm:
The problem with reviewing these roms is that,like someone said earlier, in the beginning everything seems to be fast, but use it for two more days and you get a REAL feel of the ROMs performance..

I think spending a period of one week with the ROM can help us gauge the performances accurately..

Of course this also depends on whether it's ready to be used as a daily driver for one week..

For example, i can say that using the latest build of cm 12.1 for a week, it's performance has remained the same in spite of installing lots of apps..
[Xperia SP General] OsGhaly:
I'm using RR M2 for 6 days now and I didn't face any lags or FCs, everything is great and smooth even better than my Z1 official LP update [emoji12]
[Xperia SP General] iceweek:
which rom has no problem in touching?i tested vanir and ResurrectionRemix_M2?they have problem.touching is bad
[Xperia SP General] Eric Cire:
So far I haven't had any touch issues, I've tested Aicp, RR m2 n flex os

Need someone to post this File from stock rom

Ok guys I need your help this is very important.

If anyone has access to a xperia sp on stock rom p!ease post the sysmon.cfg file here, hell post the entire /system/etc folder here(FYI its in /system/etc).

This is needed for the thermanager.

If you can crack open an ftf for this that's cool too.

PS no rush.

PPS needs to be from latest ftf.

PPPS if you find thermald.conf please post that too.

Thanks

Dark Passenger
[Xperia SP General] jangid:
Im on stock based pure experience 6.6.. 4.3 12.1.A.1.207

You can rename then

Hi actually me and mrcl1450 have been working on this for a while now but device refused to boot so well hope it works this time.

Your welcome to help its the test branch on mrcl's github .(huashan tree) dont forget to pick my pull request too(config update).

If you do decide to use it please be careful as it can really burn your motherboard.

Could you add a category of what is this ROM based on.

ex. Vanir based on AOSP.

We have a new champion for the best ROM! Temasek 5.1.1 is in my opinion the fastest and most stable so far.

I have not tested calls but data works fine
[Xperia SP General] strikerkaushik:
what is the link for Temasek 5.1.1??
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Temasek : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60730227
[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
I'm using RR M2P. I personally find it slower than the Vanir ROM than I came from (forgot what build it was, if anyone wants to know just ask me). Performance is sometimes choppy. And that boot animation... worse than Vanir's imo.

Edit: After a minute of horrendous lag, I managed to reboot my device. Performance is much better now.
[Xperia SP General] strikerkaushik:
So which is the best rom according to performance and everything?
[Xperia SP General] blackloaders:
this is the best rom

[Xperia SP General] yunamunchy:
it is best for you to try the roms yourself. it really depends on what you prefer. pls stop asking which is the best.
[Xperia SP General] Andreus94:
LOL really? M2P after the installation of all my apps is still very very fast...and with over 400mb of available RAM and great battery life...if there is a better ROM I'm excited :D

İ think the best is temasek
[Xperia SP General] flash-:
hahaha good one...i'm sorry :silly:

so ....i think now the best is RRM2P Temasek and vanir :) like the @ TheAvengingTITAN said the best ROM is Temasek

and you have to trust him cuz he tried a lot of ROMs my friend :)

good luck finding the best :good:
[Xperia SP General] hishokusakuya:
but I think that the best is Vanir

Stable, smooth, NO BUGS(important), nice Memory tweak, and nice Battery Drain.

[Xperia SP General] Plum Crazy:
I'm going to switch back to CM12.1, apparently the latest build supports custom colours for notifications with the light strip :D RR M2P isn't that good imo, both Vanir and CM12.1 were better for me.

Somebody else said this, I also don't know if all of these ROM's are going to be maintained. I feel that there's going to be a fragmentation issue, with some ROM's being updated and some abandoned.
[Xperia SP General] ashkan.t:
i tried CM12.1 - milestone 1 - Milstone 2P - Vanir

and vanir + tangrine kernel is really good

but i didn't test flex OS - blisspop - PACROM - acip - temasek and dirty unicorns

how about them?
[Xperia SP General] mehmetkoruk:
Flex and temasek really god for performance and battery
[Xperia SP General] ashkan.t:
can i flash tangrine kernel on both roms?

i want to download one of them

which one is better in your opinion?

and which one have better customizability?

(for me important thing is performance & battery)
[Xperia SP General] mehmetkoruk:
Yes you can both rom are barely same for customization but i suggest you temasek

pls help, I'm having this problem in all 5.1.1 roms. i installed asphalt 8 when i was on rr m2 and when i uninstalled this game, obb file was not in android/obb/xyz folder, but my internal memory is still showing extra 1.4gb. then i switched to pac,cm11,miui,cm12.1, vanir(current) and yesterday i installed mc4 game and when i unistalled mc4 today, my internal memory is only 1.2 gb free. i also deleted empty obb folder of games from android/obb. but it was still 1.2gb. then i flashed a kerenel with twrp and checked obb folder using twrp file manager and there was limbo game's obb file inside it which was not shown in rom's file manager. i deleted it using twrp file manger and also deleted whole obb folder, but internal storage still shows 1.4 gb. pls help or i need to backup and format internal sd. :( [MENTION=6163210]TheAvengingTITAN[/MENTION] i posted it here because these problem is occurring in every 5.1.1 rom.

and this type of problem was also occuring in mrSteve's lbl cm11, but i was able to delete hidden obb files from twrp file manager. :(

edit1: formatted internal sd, and from now on I'll delete obb files first before uninstalling games. -_-

edit2: tried again to install & uninstall Gameloft gangstar vegas after formatting internal sd, obb file is missing from Android/obb but it is shown in twrp. so, in 5.1.1 roms obb files doesn't get deleted after uninstalling games.(conclusion)

Pretty much anything to do with lollipop is allowed here. Except for feature requests, ETAs, etc.

NO my friend

I am on RR M2P since day one. Great performance and decent battery life, but "random reboots" is a real issue. It happened to me 3 times already and I can't trust this ROM as a daily driver anymore.

Can anyone please advise which ROM I should try next? Stability, battery life (especially talk time), in-call sound quality and overall performance are important for me. Btw I really like m2p's low end graphics look as well as customizability level.

[Xperia SP General] aydensaruni:
I would advice you to try AICP (http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/development/aicp-9-0-t3085697)

It has the best customizability, according to me.

I've tried RR, RRm2p, Flexos and PacRom and honestly iI would still pick AICP over all of them. Great customizability, good battery life, good perfomance, no lags....in short,you'll love it.
[Xperia SP General] itsjustbob:
Also had the random reboot issue with RR roms for some reason. Went back to CM 12.1 and haven't had any yet. Battery life and in call sound quality are really good. Overall performance is also great but it doesn't seem as fast as RR
[Xperia SP General] shahid27595:
I finally flashed BlissPop v3.3 and Tangerine 2.3 and don't have any reboot issues now. ROM is fantastic and overall performance is very good. It lagged during the start though I found under "Kernel Adiutor" and under "CPU" tab that cpu1 was unchecked, and when I checked it, the phone was pretty fast. There's a lot of customization (A lot) in BlissPop, more then RR. Battery life also seems to be good and no issues of overheating. :)
[Xperia SP General] Phoenix854:
A million thanks to you. I just downloaded Kernel Adiutor and checked core 2. My phone has become a lot smoother than before:)
[Xperia SP General] Furrydaus:
Also known as forcing the second cpu core to run all the time and to stop it's slow initialization.

Battery life is cut down by 1/4 just from this. You guys might want to rethink about what you're toggling
[Xperia SP General] CrustyCranker:
I might be a bit too late for the party here but has the battery life improved on AICP? it was the best lollipop rom i used, except for the battery life and the overheating.
[Xperia SP General] creative21:
special note:

for those guys who says RR is faster than this and that rom, set all ur animations to 0.5x in developer options and experience the same UI speed as RR.

Id say RR LBL wasnt quite ready for daily driver status, data issues and fixes were unreliable (worked sometimes then just stopped) and I had issues with media (photos showing duplicated, music hit and miss).
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
It was great when the fix from [MENTION=4537559]miki.cis[/MENTION] was added. Music worked great for all of us after using viper.

But then again, I'm also judging by the public's experiences with the ROM with my experiences. I used it as a daily driver.

So if i'm correct [MENTION=6163210]TheAvengingTITAN[/MENTION], the best atm is Temasek?

How's battery life? I heard performance is very good but I want to be sure I install the Rom with the best battery life!

Thanks ;)
[Xperia SP General] TheAvengingTITAN:
Battery is great on Temasek and so is performance. Not sure about it being the best after the release of BlissPop. But Temasek is definitely worth trying.

Just a quick notice.

OP will go through some major changes that will make things easier to understand. A number system will be introduced.

New category will be added showing what the ROM is based on. For example "based on AOKP" etc.

Temasek review is finally making its debut on Lollipop Hub's OP and BlissPop is right around the corner.
