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.

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

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

Use the smallest Open Gapps you can get away with (recommended Pico or Nano).

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.

Substratum needs to be installed from Playstore, in case you wonder why it's not there. It's an option.

Adaway and Kernel Adiutor are no longer included in rom.

Doze is working well. It minimises battery usage when tablet is NOT being used.

Lockscreen current display is worth enabling.

Use GPS Status to properly test GPS and re-calibrate sensors if needed. Disable wifi and bluetooth scanning in rom settings for accurate results!

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 this rom a Rootless build?

A. I am giving the user the option of selecting to install a root of their choice. This Rootless version will allow you to install the latest Magisk, SuperSU or any other viable solution. 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, 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. [MENTION=3279788]ZaneZam[/MENTION] s excellent Boeffla kernel works really well.

Q. I would like louder / better quality sound.

A. I use and recommend the latest mod by A.R.I.S.E. - ARISE+Magnum+Opus+20170918+Stock+Edition.zip from here. I now recommend using the in-built Magisk compatibility mod. See advanced post #7 for more on Arise.

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. I only want the rom served from AFH / Sourceforge so I can monitor downloads. NO mirroring is permitted.

If you want to send me a full set of logs for a bug, I recommend using Syslog.
