I'm gonna cry seeing all these roms :crying: Great job devs! :victory:

Here's a little review..

Battery life.. I got a day and a half with moderate use- screen on time about 4.5 hrs, whatsapp kept the cpu awake for about 10.5 hrs and wifi was on for about 19 hrs; mobile network was always on. The governor was set to smartassv2 and multicore power saving was set to '1'.

This rom by far has the most customization options. So many options I started to get confused with the menus. :silly: Oh and the new notification tones too!

As for performance, its really smooth. No stutters. A few liittle things though- I did notice a bit of delay when pressing the back button in Settings, icon scaling was kinda weird in the pie control, and Trebuchet does a little restart whenever the phone finishes its boot. Also, like [MENTION=6049586]Arvind7352[/MENTION] said, theme engine doesn't support theming the status and navigation bars. Everything else is fine I guess.. My new daily driver! :angel:
[Xperia SP Android Development] josema9410:
+1 it works perfctly. Taliking about smooth It's awesome, i'm happy with the battery life.

But Will be able to use theme engine in status and navigation bar? maybe in future biuld? it's the only thing i miss.

Thanks for all the hard work, this is my dialy ROM too
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Theme is not working from settingsmenu but it is from homescreen .
[Xperia SP Android Development] NexXuSKa:
It is for lbl?
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
No. All current (updated) lollipop ROMs are only for unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia SP Android Development] NicestRudeGuy:
great job !!

white mamba bro,:good:

blisspop is amazing rom,no lag what so ever.

its my fav rom as of now.

eagrly waiting 4 the next build :fingers-crossed:
[Xperia SP Android Development] josema9410:
as @ lex.vr7 said

and [MENTION=6049586]Arvind7352[/MENTION] said

You can see that u can't change nav or status bar

I haven't got calender working with Gmail account. Same problem with Banks gapps. I noticed one thing that might indicatie that it is ROM issue: when I change language to Dutch (Nederlands) the calendar app included with ROM FC. When I change back tot english no FC. But still no google account... Strange..
[Xperia SP Android Development] SizpeK:
Error when updating kernel audiutor :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
I had this problem in AICP as well. Seems to be, that "integrate" Kernel Adiutor won't let you update from the playstore. Try pushing the apk to /system.
[Xperia SP Android Development] SizpeK:
best rooom eveeer !!!
[Xperia SP Android Development] miki.cis:
Is it possible to update the theme engine on my own (sideload newer apk), or it must be implemented by the dev? Because i miss the option to mod status and navigation bar very much...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Theme engine is integrated into the systemui. If you really want it, modify the systemui. Sideloading the app doesn't do much because its just the GUI interface.

Its something like the Kernel. You can't change the kernel if you update kernel audiutor now do you? :P
[Xperia SP Android Development] anhtuan.uct:
Not support kernel Tag greater 2.2:rolleyes:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Yasir Mamba:
locked or unlocked bootloader??? Is it okay to directly flash on 4.3 stock 207?? whats the basic kernel without the tangerine?? will it go to bootloop if i flash without tangerine?? is the rom pre rooted?? and is there twrp installed?? Please urgently reply. i like this rom very much from the shots and the cutomization options.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Arvind7352:
This is for Unlocked BootLoader....

Tangerine is in-built in the ROM...

Do A Fresh Install by Cleaning:- System-Data-Cache-Dalvik-Internal Storage (it's recommended if u r coming from a stock ROM)

Its PreRooted-but if u want SuperSU...u can flash the SuperSU fix

(If u want to have Root Access...without SuperSU... Go to Settings->Developer Options->Root Access->Apps and ADB)

Since Tangerine is Present...TWRP is included...

And u won't have bootloop in Flashing this ROM without Tangerine Kernel
[Xperia SP Android Development] Yasir Mamba:
THANKS
[Xperia SP Android Development] kjeasan:
i'm having problem to install this rom...every time after installing this rom it automatically reboots to rec

[currently on cm12.1 unofficial]

Update schedule

When you update Sources to 5.1.1_r3? Is the best rom :good: [MENTION=4616622]whitemamba[/MENTION]
[Xperia SP Android Development] hollow_manmmt:
this is the best rom ever i had try from all cm12 LP rom

very customization , stable as well

however the themes engin is the most and only annoying thing in this rom

pls fix it in the comeing update

and keep the good work

have a nice day
[Xperia SP Android Development] CrustyCranker:
Boot time

I guess the only problem that i face in this rom is the boot time, it takes annoying long to boot up when i turn the device on, sometimes it boots up fast, but other than that, i couldn't find a problem, even the camera is good (google camera)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Gabrieljbl:
Check the changelog before asking devs to merge it. It's not necessary. :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] miki.cis:
And the most important rule of xda: NEVER ask/demand ETAs...
[Xperia SP Android Development] jaretti:
Oh no, have same problem :(

Had philz before, but because it said that twrp is preferred installed twrp, flashed zip and gapps and now every time I want to restart it comes back to twrp recovery

Edit: weird, just flased temasek and it's booting up, will try to wipe and install blispop again...
[Xperia SP Android Development] Domino5000:
After few restarts my internal storage just disappeared and I need to factory reset, daamn what the hell
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Restore a backup, reboot (bootloop), restore backup again, done.
[Xperia SP Android Development] tomzzi:
I have huge battery drain on this rom. From 5 am (100%) to 3pm and only 30% battery left. One call, no messages and few minutes browsing net. Sync was most of the time off.
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
phone is extremely fast but huge battry drains ..same ... can somebody tell some tips to avoid battry drain
[Xperia SP Android Development] creative21:
disable wakelocks and autostart of google play services and other battery consuming apps from privacy guard.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Guizão BR:
????

This rom have ota update?
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
i think there is no ota update for our sp phone in this RIM...cuz this ROM builds are Unofficial so i think if there was ota and you installed it it will make problems :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Guizão BR:
This did not install, I asked out of curiosity, because it appears to null hahaha
[Xperia SP Android Development] anandsvn7:
Best rom ever for me thanks devs

Have to tell u there is no any long boot up or boot loop, i wonder its booting time more quick than any other rom even first boot also, awsm rom thanks,

Before u flash this rom

Download the rom which has tangerine kernel:D

First - Should flash doom kernel TWRP and make full wipe and internal format also

Second - And flash this rom by TWRP and reboot into cynogen recovery by rapidly pressing volume down button

Third - after u got cyanogen recovery press reboot on it and it will take less time to first boot.

Fourth - U should flash the recommended minimal Gapps by cyanogen recovery (tangerine)

This instrucion have already given by devs and working awsm, and this rom has few little bugs but while compare to any other rom in lollipop its super stable:good: battery also good ... Thnks for this rom devs:D
[Xperia SP Android Development] whitemamba:
For those who have problems with the battery drain, you can try this:

GO TO KERNEL AUDITOR IN SETTINGS/PERFORMANCE AND THEN:

1) CPU Governor set it to Conservative

2) In Governor Tunables

down threshold 50

freq_step 7

up_threshold 90

Go back, set apply on boot

(Skip step3 if you are a heavy user as step 3 can cause random reboots at heavy loads. Ex: Antutu Benchmark)

3)CPU Voltage---> Global Offset----> -30

Set Apply On Boot

4)CPU Hotplug----> MPDecision, switch it on

Set Apply On Boot

5)Battery--> Enable USB Fast Charge

Set Apply On Boot

6)I/O Scheduler

Internal Storage Scheduler fiops

External Storage Scheduler bfq

External Read-ahead 256 kB

Set Apply On Boot

7)Kernel Samplepage Merging

Set Enable KSM

Set Apply On Boot

THANKS [MENTION=6255096]prangr8[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4884633]ckrishnakanthc[/MENTION] FOR THE ADVICE :)

Results (according to prangr8 on AICP): I had not even a single percent battery drop with no battery saving apps nothing used when on 6 hours standby time.

You can change any of the settings to your own taste of course.
[Xperia SP Android Development] kjeasan:
it worked :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

edit:after flashing my baseband gone..tried to restore it but failed...
[Xperia SP Android Development] headbon3:
Seems this rom is not themable unlike other CM12.1 roms.

Tried Deep Darkness theme w/ TEMASEK, the quick toggles and navbar changed while in Bliss, it just stayed stock, although the color scheme changed.
[Xperia SP Android Development] SizpeK:
mine is changed , idk why .
[Xperia SP Android Development] whitemamba:
This is a known bug in the ROM. Don't worry, it should be fixed in the next update.
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
did you flashed the last tangerine kernel ?. ... cuz v2.3 is causing the baseband problem :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Homayoun Pourdana:
Tangerine PhilZ alternate version v2.3 works well with Blisspop and flexOS roms
[Xperia SP Android Development] kjeasan:
i flashed tangerine 2.5 latest version.... i had to flash this rom more than 6 time after successfully booting baseand gone...
[Xperia SP Android Development] le grande magnetto:
use tangerine 2.2
[Xperia SP Android Development] lop2lop:
Hi and Thanks to Dev <3

I have these bugs :

Home Button : Not Works !

Control Music With Volume Button : Not Works !

Automatic Reboots !

Is this normal ?!
[Xperia SP Android Development] le grande magnetto:
for me everything works perfect. the best 5.1.1 ROM so far from my personal experience. Only theming could work fully. (status&nav barz)
[Xperia SP Android Development] josema9410:
In my case is the same, i don't have these bugs.

Yeah i'm happy with the ROM,it is the best one i have had and in next build the theming will be enabled as whitemamba said so it will be formidable
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
are you sure you did the whole process in the right way ? made a full wipe and everything ....cuz like i saw other users don't have these problems so make sure you did a full wipe....if problem for know still exist i think you have to re-flash the ROM :)

good luck my friend :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] Jayme Silva:
I installed the rom without the tangerine kernel, i have trouble installing the other?

:rolleyes:
[Xperia SP Android Development] SizpeK:
install custom recovery using rashr from playstore first . or flash custom recovery using flashtool
[Xperia SP Android Development] lop2lop:
Thanks for answers guys.

I think my flashing steps are wrong !

I didn't have internet connection to check installation instruction !

I always do clean install ! Same as previous ROMs like cm12.1 and AICP :

Flashed Stock 4.3 ROM

Rooted with TowelRoot

Recoveries with CWM_SP_4.4.1 ( CWM 6.0.4.7 & TWRP 2.7.0.0) I always used CWM and it was fine !

Full Wipe (Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Partition Cache + Wipe Dalvik)

Flash ROM

Reboot

MY PHONE SOFT BRICKED ! It was keep rebooting on SONY logo ! I forced to flash Tangerine Kernel that included in ROM Zip file !

After flash tangerine kernel my phone booted up and I flashed GApps !

Done !

I will reFlash it again if my problems are not gone I will try to Clean flash (from stock ROM) ! What's your idea ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] kjeasan:
which version kernel you used??
[Xperia SP Android Development] lop2lop:
I don't know which version is ! it's included in ROM zip file !
[Xperia SP Android Development] ongkhel:
I had problems regarding on this rom.

full wipe (TWRP)

flash rom tangerine.zip

flash gapps

reboot sytem

then my phone just showing sony logo then fade aways,

no idea what happen.

so i just

download tangerine kernel

flash kernel using flashtool.

then suddenly the boot animation of this rom show up. and it works properly

i thought the tangerine kernel already includes on this rom?

i double check the rom file which i downloaded and i saw the tangerine.elf
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
im unable to unistall system apps ... i want to remove bloatware

want to unistall

aosp keyboard .. ( using xperia keyboard )

audio fx

some more :P
[Xperia SP Android Development] creative21:
Try MiXplorer. You can uninstall system apps easily with it from system apps tab.
[Xperia SP Android Development] OsGhaly:
You can do that with ES File Explorer or root explorer or any file manger that can get root privilege to modify system files.

Just go to "/system/app" or "/system/priv-app" and search for apk you want to uninstall and simply delete it (don't forget to take a backup before).. then reboot into recovery and wipe dalvic and cache
[Xperia SP Android Development] whitemamba:
Or just use titanium backup
[Xperia SP Android Development] flash-:
yes that will be good try it and see what happen ....i'm sure it will work my friend :)

good luck :good:
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
First off great ROM. Coupled with NEXT Launcher, my phone feels like a premium, expensive piece of hardware and I bought this phone for the exorbitant price of around 1500 bucks :p

Was previously running AICP 4.4.4 which is an awesome ROM itself but this ROM magically cured the one thing that had been plaguing me for months - NO SOUND OUT OF THE EARPHONE. Making or receiving calls meant I had to put the phone on loudspeaker and connecting headphones made little difference as the sound still came out of the back speaker. Thinking it was a hardware issue, I was planning on handing it in for repairs (only me being a lazy ass prevented that) but then I installed this ROM based on Titan's ROM rating thread (thanks for that) and voila! Problem solved.

Now onto the new problem that's cropped up. Apart from say half a dozen apps, nothing stays in memory. The launcher, settings, play services, greenify, android keyboard, themes and Clean Master when its running stay in the RAM but everything else gets booted out. Say I start a browser or a game or playstore or nearly anything else - they will work as long as I am actively using those apps. Second I press the home button to go do something else and then return to those apps - they restart. I first noticed this issue with Firefox - tabs kept reloading when I returned. At first I thought, my router or Wifi settings was the culprit but then I noticed other apps behaving similarly. Sometimes if I am quick enough to get to the running apps section in Settings, I can see the memory usage of those apps going down to 0 and then the app itself drops out from there. Now Greenify is set to hibernate many apps when the screen's locked but these apps are being swapped out of memory while I am actively using the phone. Even though I have 200-300mb free most times, anything other than those above mentioned apps just won't stay in memory.

I read the 12 odd pages in this thread and I don't remember anyone mentioning this kind of issue. Also never remember having this problem with any previous ROM I used - if anything I had to use Clean Master regularly to boot inactive apps out of memory in it. Am I missing something/doing something wrong or is this due to the fact that these ROMs are still a WIP?

Any input appreciated. Thanks.
[Xperia SP Android Development] dic1911:
maybe you can try to *lower* the minfree values with kernel aduitor or something
[Xperia SP Android Development] agent.47:
random reboots and data loosing

Hi

Sometimes my phone reboots itself and after booting some apps loose their data, I used tangerine included in ur rom and even 2.3 alternative and still have it

I had this problem on RR m2 too and not found any solution

Ext4 as file system and nothing tweaked using kernel adutor

I cleaned my phone completely before flashing rom and flashed it several times, also I use minimal gapps 5.1.x

Thanks to whitemamba for this great rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] jangid:
ya i used the titanium backup .. used it first time ...

can i tell uh .. you are the best and this rom is the best .. everything is so perfect :D ... in love with your rom ..looking for future updates :P

and the reason i unistalled aosp keyboard is ,, it was giving me fc :D .. but i prefer xperia keyboard
[Xperia SP Android Development] whitemamba:
You can try to edit the Minfree values in the kernel auditor under Settings/Performance as mentioned before. Under the Low Memory Killer, at the very bottom, you can set how aggressively the ROM kills background apps.

Mod Edit: Quote Edited
[Xperia SP Android Development] karandpr:
Thread cleaned.

XDA Staff is here to take necessary action. We are just one report away.

There is absolutely no need to "take matters in your own hands" and escalate the discussion.

Also it's better to report a post then to make a post saying you will be reporting.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sibat Al Nistas:
I had this issue today(5th day of using) on Temasek [5.1.1] Rom......phone was having random reboots and the phone was hot when I picked it up. Seems like the phone kept over heating for some reason and caused a restart. I don't have many apps running in the background (just Amber weather, Messenger, Whatsapp, Facebook lite, Swype)

I dirty flashed Blisspop afterwards and so far(6hrs) I haven't faced any reboot. (Amber weather and Whatsapp data got corrupted after dirty flash)
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
I tried all the options from Very Light to Very Aggressive in Low Memory Killer but no change. Tried a bunch of options in CPU Governer as well.

Should I try individually adjusting one of the 6 sliders? Also my Apply on boot option isn't on but I am guessing unless I reboot the phone, those settings should stick.

I really, really like this ROM even with the occasional FC's namely the themes tab in settings, music player and Clean Master at times (give tangerine 2.6 a try?) and I don't wanna risk going back to not being able to use my earphone with some other ROM but constantly used apps especially browsers and games reloading and restarting is more annoying than I first thought. This isn't happening to anyone else? Anything else I can do?
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
You can try for the apps you want to be active in memory the following:

Install xposed (latest framework for 5.1 works for me!)

Install module appsettings (activate and reboot)

Start appsettings, search your app in the list, open the settings.

Search for the option resistent, check it. Save.

Done, the app is less like to be killed.

For tip for perfect sound, see lollipop hub. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=60941201
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Interesting...thanks for the info man. I'll give it a shot.

Have you faced this problem yourself since you gave such a detailed reply? Could you tell me which version of tangerine kernel you are using?
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
No, sorry, i dont have such issue's.

I am on tangerine v2.2.
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Yeah 2.2 is what I am on as well. Ok I'll try what you said and see if it works.
[Xperia SP Android Development] lop2lop:
Reason of my problems (Random Reboots , Home button doesn't work , unable to control music with headset button and volume buttons and ...)

was GApps !

after a random reboot my GApps keeps crashing but my problems are gone !

I used "gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed" but I think it's not compatible with this ROM !

I don't know which new GApps are compatible !! I flashed a GApps Remover , ROM works fine! Now I'm looking for a nice GApps !
[Xperia SP Android Development] TheAvengingTITAN:
Did you try Banks Gapps (as mentioned in the OP) or PA Gapps?

The TITAN Has Landed. Hide your ROM from this critic! Maintainer of the XSP Lollipop Hub.
[Xperia SP Android Development] josema9410:
Same here, 5th day of using i have already had a random reboo. Whatsapp and telegram missed their data
[Xperia SP Android Development] headache59:
Interesting find - my headset buttons also didn't work with Temasek ROM. Had to tweaked the keyboard layout.

Let me know how it develops, and which gapps fit - I will probably follow suit.

btw, which gapps remover did you use?
[Xperia SP Android Development] lop2lop:
OP recommended 2 GApps : Banks GApps and Minimal Edition Gapps ! I used Minimal Edition !

For Headset Button I tweaked Generic.kl file too ! But until removing GApps tweaking Key Layout didn't works !

And about GApps Remover I used this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40534912&postcount=19

Worked for me but not well ! I'm not recommend to use it !
[Xperia SP Android Development] somberchocks:
Installed xposed and appsettings but didn't find a resistent option? Did you mean resident? Either way didn't work.

Tried the Light and Medium version of Low Memory Killer - the medium version keeps the apps in memory for a couple of minutes longer whereas the light version for some reason brought my system to a crawl. Even tried moving a couple of these apps to the SD card but no use.

I backed up BlissPop via the recovery and then proceeded to flash half a dozen other Lollipop ROM but to no avail. Same goddamn problem with each and every ROM and this time I just installed Firefox and Temple Run 2 on these ROM's to check if the problem was still persistent. Went back to KitKat and things stayed in memory all afternoon long. Also this time around the earphone problem didn't crop up.

This really sucks! As much as I love this ROM (its so fluid and snappy not to mention the customization options), having your progress reset with every app you use just cause you had to go make a call or send a message is not something you can live with. So frustrating when you are the only one stuck with a problem no one has even encountered let alone can help you with. I have exhausted my limited knowledge trying to fix this problem and I am at a complete loss now.

KitKat here I come again :( unless someone has a clue why my bloody phone's hating on Lollipop. If anyone has any ideas, please do let me know.
