Clarification of RRO

Many of you may be new to RRO so let's give you a brief overview of what it is.

On the surface, RRO seems to be like your standard themer you'll find from any rom especially in CyanogenMod.

RRO is a new kid in the block and isn't as sophisticated as the CM Theme Engine but it is indefinitely more efficient and more customizable (More on that later).

Have you somehow liked the way the Sony Theme Engine worked? It was indeed a project from the RRO Interface but with Sony's own tweaks. If you are able to guess, the Sony Theme Engine has its flaws and shares some of the same fate as the RRO Theming Engine.

Ever since the rise of CyanogenMod, Google and its affliates seem to have responded to the call for more customizabilty by Improving the Original RRO Engine and then officially releasing it as part of AOSP in the Lollipop Releases although it can still be found in some form or another in the earlier versions of Android.

Now since the new RRO Engine was released, it turned out to be the very thing that the CM Theme Engine feared, a worthy competitor. Unlike RRO, the CM Theme Engine uses loads (and I really mean LOADS) of code in implementing it. Patching it again and again, the CM Theme Engine seem to be reluctant to absorb into the possibilities of RRO trying to stay away from the Google Way.

Unlike the CM Theme Engine, RRO uses and accesses the resources of the whole OS and opens it up for the user to customize and utilize. Right now, it seems very difficult to get a hold of but once you get started in using it, you'll realize how much potential RRO can do for you.

The downside of RRO is that unlike the CM Theme Engine, it is very difficult to ensure that things run smoothly. Some newbie developers may publish RRO Themes to the play store and may have missing resources. (I'm sure the inexperienced developer pool will reduce if given time and leniency)

Like [MENTION=4537559]miki.cis[/MENTION] has shown, some themes can cause crashes to the system including the Reboot Menu due to missing resources. When there's a missing resource, the system is stuck and takes the easy way out by rebooting. (I can see this being remedied in the future though).

So as a result, RRO Layers is a dragon that can be tamed if properly utilized and given the time to mature. I hope those who are trying RRO for the first time be lenient to the new RRO Layers Engine and its new generation of Themers.

Regards,

Furrydaus

what i really like about RRO is that if you want only certain apps to be themed, it is possible. and unlike cm theme , i think RRO is lighter. it lacks dev for better themes but it might beat CM themes someday.

Is FM Transmitter there? :)
[Xperia SP Android Development] waseemakhtar:
Rom is fast and very responsive. Thanks for such a great ROM.

Some bugs are:

Status bar isn't tasparent on home screen most of the time.

Animation is too fast.

Sometimes doesn't wake up on pressing power button (issue already discussed above in many posts).

Overall a very good ROM. I doesn't care about theming so I am only interested in fast, stable, and responsive ROM. If only the wakeup bug is removed, it may be used as daily driver.
[Xperia SP Android Development] anisingh62:
one thing is the biggest bug is its high senstivity touch button it does gets onn and if it gets onn after some time it gets disabled??
[Xperia SP Android Development] waseemakhtar:
This issue exists in all lollipop roms I've tried so far.
[Xperia SP Android Development] rajkumar85:
gapps

Can i flash bank dynamic gapps for this rom? or have to flash the gapps from this link?
[Xperia SP Android Development] anisingh62:
yes i also know buddy that there's abug in the high senstivity touch button in every possible rom of lollipop??

but i am too disappointed to know that no one has ever made it right or even listened .... i personally feel so bad about it cause i am using tampered glass so what i could do is just nothing :(
[Xperia SP Android Development] waseemakhtar:
Xperia phones accessories are not officially available in Pakistan, so I could not find tempered glass although I tried my best. Anyway many users are trying to find possible solutions (asking again and again to developers is harsh as they have already done a lot for us). Just an hour ago I find a thread with possible solution.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138

Have installed it but not yet tested it. Will provide feedback soon once tested. Remember neither I have tempered glass nor I wear gloves so I would request you to test it too.

[Update] Script is working fine. Touch sensitivity is checked by enclosing the phone in a transparent shopping bag (a common cheap moonsoon season remedy) and the phone is quite usable.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Furrydaus:
Banks dynamic gapps support almost every ROM including this one. No need to worry if you use a dynamic gapps like Banks' Gapps
[Xperia SP Android Development] srinivasn1:
Can any one provide me the instructions on how to install this rom? Also provide me the link for Gapps to download. Do I need to flash tangerine kernel with this rom?

Hi I installed this ROM yesterday. It is great so far. the only problem was touch issues that I solved it with glove xperia. So the ones that have this bug use this app from play store .

Also I should mention that screen flickering now is solved with t-kernel v7b2-xhd.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Arvind7352:
It was solved at the start!! I guess this was fixed at stock kernel itself

[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
[MENTION=6255096]prangr8[/MENTION], i had a strange issue when I have updated to 08102015 build.

I made full wipes with TWRP and flashed the rom zip and pico gapps zip. At the end of the second zip a red message appeared saying "Not mount data" or something similar. Then I have rebooted, then updating apps and finally all my apps still remain there, with root permissions, the gmail count, the data is not erased. Only rro layers aren't applied and Play Store gives an "504 error" when i try to update a layers theme. But the rest of apps works fine.

Better reinstall with a full wipe again?

Edit: i try again and the same result. I use TWRP 2.8.7.0
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Sometimes since lollipop, it occurs to me too (Mount data error). My solution: flash cm11 kernel (doomloord, Williams). Reboot -> bootloop (ofcourse). Boot into recovery, Mount data is restored, flash what you like or restore backup.

Cm11 kernel will not work with ROM. It only restores Mount data. After that, clean flash ROM (wipe data, system, cache, dalvik) or restore backup.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Alvichone:
It's clear. I flashed cm11 kernel to restore Mount data. Then bootloop like you said. Reboot to recovery: wipe cache, data, system and dalvik and flashed rom, gapps and t kernel zips; but at the end is the same: "Mount data error". All my apps and data are there, like in dirty flash. But i don't see that like something bad, only is strange because it should not be.
[Xperia SP Android Development] halloarno:
Its strange indeed.... This method helps my out...
[Xperia SP Android Development] guvey:
[MENTION=6255096]Raienryu[/MENTION] i want to use this room but i have a problem. i came from cm12.1 unofficial, i do all the wipes, i follow the steps posted in the op but when the rom check your wifi conection the rom says that i dont have internet access but my router is ok, it happens when i try to install xenon or aicp, but when i came back to cm12.1 it´s all ok.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Raienryu:
If you mean it can't proceed through the checking connection during google setup wizard, then please have a reboot between flashing rom and flashing GApps. It's a GApps error and not the ROM.
[Xperia SP Android Development] RandomUser017:
Yeah. Try rebooting. Have you installed the Tangerine kernel?
[Xperia SP Android Development] guvey:
great rom congrats to the dev. i only miss the radio, i don´t like spirit. i´ll keep with this rom
[Xperia SP Android Development] Soulblinded:
Can someone tell me which is the best kernel(including version) to use with the ROM and also how do I install a kernel ? I just unlocked my bootloader so I dont know how to install a kernel, can someone give me a very short explanation on how to do it. Thank you.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Soulblinded:
Ok I did a completely clean install, flashed ROM, flashed tangerine 7.1 and then when flashing GAPPS it says "INSUFICIENT SYSTEM STORAGE" so i cannot flash them, please help, what to do ? I get message E;cannot load volume/misc.
[Xperia SP Android Development] Raienryu:
Try a diffrent GApps package.
[Xperia SP Android Development] exothermic_tzy:
1. Flash ROM zip

2. Flash Tangerine v7.1 xhd (currently the newest version of Tangerine to support Xenon HD.

3. Flash GAPPS zip (I use Aroma GAPPS which allows you to choose which Google Apps you want to install. It's recommended to use Minimal GAPPS or smaller sized GAPPS if you lack space.

4. Reboot and enjoy!

Make sure you have a custom recovery installed (TWRP 2.8.7.0 recommended by installation through Rashr)

Also if you can't flash the kernel through the recovery image you can use fastboot (more info available throughout the XSP forums)
[Xperia SP Android Development] Soulblinded:
Alright, I installed the ROM correctly, clean wipe, everything. No tangerine kernel. But problem is performance is subpar. It isnt as smooth as I was expecting and i come from ParanoidAndroid 4.4.4. Do I need to tweak something, because I dont see the 10/10 performance thats is mentioned in ROM review in general section. Or maybe that is normal performance for 5.1 ROMS for now and thats what I should expect ?
[Xperia SP Android Development] NotAbdShahid:
A lot of people have said that Lollipop ROMs have been the best for our phone but I've tried pretty much every ROM out there for the SP and no ROM whether it's kitkat based or lollipop based even comes close to the performance of Omni or Paranoid Android by NexusPrime. Even Mr Steve's and baguysz CM11 ROMs perform better. It's mostly because Google messed up with lollipop. To summarise, Best kitkat ROMs>Best lollipop ROMs
[Xperia SP Android Development] Sibat Al Nistas:
This is the fastest Lollipop ROM I've used so far! :D

I have some really minor issues though:

1. FM radio is missing(I believe it was present on the previous build and I know it'll be back soon. So not an issue :P )

2. Even when turned off Weather in Notification bar occasionally shows up.

3. Can't Customize weather location, Unit, Update frequency etc. rendering weather in lockscreen and notification drawer useless :P (lockscreen weather customization doesn't offer these settings)

(I forgot that you could create a clock widget and customize weather from there......regardless a customization option would be cool)
[Xperia SP Android Development] yunamunchy:
i've managed to get 29k on antutu which blew me away. this rom is so good
[Xperia SP Android Development] Soulblinded:
Is there a guide somewhere on what things to turn on and off in the Kernel Tweaker to get the best performance ?

BLazing fast and super smooth. But i am facing frequent hot reboots, around 4 hot reboots per hour, and also sometimes the screen doesnot wake up and i had to switch it off. Is it because of the xposed, deep sleep battery saver or the unstable layers themes ????
[Xperia SP Android Development] fantamadnesss:
