Hints, tips & FAQs

​

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.

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

- To enable root go to Magisk Manager.

- Use Open Gapps for your Google apps. You can either use the smallest version you can get away with (recommended Pico or Nano) or use a larger version in combination with a gapps-config file, see post #7.

- Most issues / caveats for CM14.1 / LOS will apply for this rom!

- 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.

- After flashing in TWRP you may see two messages saying "E:unknown command" - this can happen on all CM14.1 based roms and is nothing to worry about.

Q. Does xposed....

A. There are now versions of Xposed which run on Nougat. However Xposed WILL NOT BE SUPPORTED AT ALL. You will be on your own. Do not report bugs. Logs that show Xposed use will be ignored.

Q. The install button does not work when I want to install an app, usually a non market side-loaded app?

A. Stop / disable the application running that is using a screen overlay.

Q. Does OTA work?

A. Yes. It checks to see if a new version has been published and alerts you. Links are provided in the OTA app for direct downloads. The rom will still need to be flashed manually as normal.

Q. Why is there now a Magisk and a Rootless build?

A. The work on this Nougat RR rom is nearly finished. I am now giving the user the option of selecting to install a root of their choice, or go with the current Magisk. Once I have finished releasing builds the Rootless version will allow you to install the latest Magisk version of the day rather than an old obsolete version that will need updated once the rom is installed. Running the rom without any root applied is also a viable option.

Q. What theme engine is integrated?

A. Full OMS7 support has been implemented from version 12 onwards, so Substratum can be installed from the play store if you wish to theme the rom.

Q. Can I use an alternate kernel?

A. You may be able to use other kernels. Use Flashify to flash them or extract the boot.img and flash as img from TWRP. Do not wipe kernel / dalvik if only flashing a kernel. SideCore looks to be a promising alternative. Buffcore FYI is now very closely related to SideCore and for most uses you will notice no difference between the two.

Q. I would like louder / better quality sound.

A. You could us the latest mod by A.R.I.S.E. - ARISE+Magnum+Opus+20180105+Stock+Edition.zip from here. See advanced post #7 for more on Arise. I no longer use Arise as I find the available Magisk mods to be less bloated and better performing. From Magisk downloads I recommend installing "Ainur Sauron", "Viper4Android FA by Ahrion" and "Audio Modification Library".

Q. Can I replace the weather provider?

A. Go to settings > apps > configure apps > weather. Add weather provider takes you to the playstore. Download Yahoo weather provider. Back to weather and enable Yahoo weather provider.

Q. Can I mirror the rom on a different provider?

A. NO! only want the rom served from AFH and Sourceforge so I can monitor downloads. NO mirroring is permitted. Downloads from other providers will not be supported.

Q. Can you make an i9515 (or other variant) build too?

A. Sorry but I am not going to make another blind build, too much grief and hassle.

Q. My screen goes black when making or receiving a call and does not return?

A. You probably need to clean and / or re-calibrate your proximity sensor. See here.
