FAQ's and Tips

FAQs

Q. The install button does not work when I want to install an app?

A. Stop / disable the application running that uses a screen overlay (e.g. Halo).

Q. How to stop Halo?

A. To stop Halo double tap it and drag it to X icon (it's actually click - let go - click - drag).

Q. I get a dialog that says "Screen overlay detected". How can I disable this warning?

A. Go to Settings > Security > Scroll down and disable permission overlay check.

Q. What version of Xposed works?

A. This version works fine.

Q. Can I use an alternate kernel?

A. Boeffla kernel works just fine with RR.

Use Flashify to install kernels.

Q. Does OTA work?

A. Not ever on marshmallow now I'm afraid.

Q. Developer options in camera?

A. Tap max brightness 10 times.

Q. I applied a theme and system UI crashed. Now I can't see anything but a background when I boot?

A. Some themes are very prone to causing this. If this happens then boot into recovery and delete the /data/app/theme_name and data/data/theme_name folders then you will boot normally.

<themes are working a lot better from release 7 onwards>

Q. Can I use SuperSU for root instead of Privacy Guard?

A. I can be done but you will need to research how to flash SuperSU in "systemless root" mode.

Q. I would like louder / better quality sound.

A. I use and recommend the latest mod by A.R.I.S.E. - Deutronomy from here

Tips

- RR is a very feature laden rom. Don't go mad and switch everything on when you first boot. Concentrate on a feature and see how you like it.

Blur for example can take a lot of tuning to look right.

- Installing Banks Gapps did not go well, use the smallest Open Gapps you can get away with (recommended Pico).

- Most issues / caveats for CM13 will apply to this rom!

- Enable Adaway and update your hosts file. Remember to switch Adaway back on after a dirty flash!

- If something does not run go into Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard and check settings.

Also check the mode you have set for SElinux. Some functionality may be wrongly disabled in "Enforcing" which will work in "Permissive".

- Long boot times on 2nd and subsequent boots? Go into Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard > Advanced > Bootup and disable startup on apps that don't need started on every boot.

- Corrupt memory cards can especially cause problems. Recommended to use SD cards as external storage with Fat32.

- Occasionally you get an error about a corrupt SD card when booting up (especially after flashing / re-installing backups in TWRP?).

DO NOT PANIC! Don't immediately reformat! Try a switch off and reboot to see if it still occurs. If so, take the card to a PC and backup before you do ANYTHING.

Re-format on PC, put back into switched off phone and power on. When in OS, format when it asks you (isn't a re-format - just sets up android basic folders).

Then eject, back to PC and restore your backed up files. PHEW!

- Not recommended to use titanium to re-instate backed-up apps and settings across different roms (i.e. coming from anything else).

- Don't use Halo on 5.7.3 until you read up how to disable if needed. Halo was fine back in the day but I don't think it's needed with Marshmallow anymore.

- To enable built in root go to developer options and activate Root Access.

- Using Kodi (SPMC) you will need to disable hardware acceleration in video settings, otherwise audio with black screen. <better from release 7 onwards>

- Apps I have installed don't appear in the "Apps with usage access list" and aren't able to access usage stats. An acknowledged RR bug currently. Do following for any app that needs usage access - using terminal emulator, type :

su
appops set package_name android:get_usage_stats allow

Replace "package_name" with the package name of your app (e.g. com.teslacoilsw.launcher for nova)
