• What is XOSP and how was it born?

XOSP stands for the Xperia Open Source Project. The project was initially created by me (@nilac) for the Galaxy S+ (my old device) years ago. Back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.
S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there I rebranded and XOSP project was founded. I worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on my Galaxy S+ (Which I maintained xosp for at the time) I decided to take a break from development until I got my hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then I started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.

I really want to test this rom but in installation instructions there's an "if your device is encrypted you need to format data". May I ask why? Is it really necessary to go through all backup data hassle?

This rom is without doubt the best for our device. No idea why, but battery time is like on 40% since yesterday to now, I used phone at 4.20 screen time, for me it is a record. No lags, no bugs, at least not yet. I was thinking aops is smooth. But it break everything. THANK YOU! Please keep supporting this...

Today got a hard brick while using this rom, could not even get into edl, also dont know what caused it, i was just at work.
luckily my computer recognized it and i could use miflash eventually, but still... all data lost...

Just curious, why you called it XOSP, like it's somehow based on AOSP, but it's clearly not. Kinda confusing, ppl will think mi5 has aosp...

Edit: oh and by the way, he just built it lol, Project developer are choosing names.... Like if he build CM doesn't mean he created the name
