Runs great so far, LS has always been my favourite. Only thing I can see missing is quicktiles management. Thank you all!

Edit: this is so far the only ROM and kernel that charges at a decent rate. All the other lollipop ROMs maxed out at between 100 and 700 mA for me. This one is charging on average over 1A (1180mA currently). Whatever you guys are doing with LS, it's working.

edit 2: Small issues. I can not seem to find the power menu options to enable screenshot, and in landscape mode, the navigation bar is on the left where it normally displays on the right in other ROM's

This ROM seems to have the same issue as LS 3.2 - can't mount USB-OTG. Is this a known issue?
Hi just tested now on the 19th nightly. USB OTG works fine for me, and flash drives and external hard disk are picked up perfectly by FX explorer and x-plore file manager. Tested as well with USB keyboard/mouse combo and all good as well.

I never had any issues with LS 3.2 as well. Your OTG cable not maybe stuffed? I tried with two different "cheap" cables, and they both work fine.

Disks are reflected under settings / storage us well, and unmounted fine.

Seems like it's just my phone then :( I tried the stock Sony OTG cable as well as a Samsung stock cable and neither seemed to work.

@OmarEinea: thank you very much for this nice ROM. There is only one big problem, the speaker sound is really crappy. It seems to be much louder than normal but with a bad sound quality.
I've read that you have include some kind of sound mod in RR. I assume that the same mod is messing up the sound hear too. Is there any way to revert it?

One other thing, it would be great if you could include an option to mute the volume adjustment sound. Thanks in advance.

I removed the loud sound mod from today's build,
I'll probably link to the mod in the second post for anyone who wants to use it as an extra flashable zip.

Omar.

Hi,

this ROM works well for the time i have tested it. But here are few issues i encountered:

- Viper4Android needs SELinux to be on permissve instead of enforcing
- When the brightness is really low the screen starts to flicker
- Color calibration gives me a FC (System settings/Display)

For the first time lolipop on this device this is great. Thanks for the good work^^.

Viper4Android is new issue to me,
brightness is an old device specific bug (in all ROMs),
color calibration is working fine on my device (just playing with it in Settings > Display > Color calibration)

Omar.

First thanks for your reply :)

Viper4Android is new issue to me,
I got "Driver Status: Abnormal" in V4A. So googled a bit and this solution i have found so far.

And i checked color calibration again and you are right. Now it works, don't know what was wrong before. But hey if it works now everything ist fine^^.

Been jumping back and forth between other 5.0 / 5.1 ROMS, but always end up back on LS. We haven't had a nightly for a few weeks on Z1C; just wondering if anyone knows whether they are focusing on 5.1 exclusively now for the future builds, or whether 5.0 nightlies will continue sometime in the future. I see for example that CM12 theme engine seems to be implemented now, and not layers as in the current build available.

Probably all upcoming build are gonna be 5.1.

Plain Awesome

I moved on from Dstriker Rom because i wanted Lollipop. I wasn't sure i would like this ROM but now I know that I don't need anything else.
Simple, clean, elegant and fast! This ROM is almost perfect!. It is missing only one thing: The Sony Camera and 4k recording, but i noticed all CM based ROMS lack it. I know a few things about ROMs and Kernels myself, if you think i can help with anything PM me, I am more than happy to help anytime! Keep up the good work!

Check in

I've come back to report a few bugs i found so far:
1) Proximity Sensor is not working incall( The screen keeps on while putting the phone on ear)
2) Screen flickers when adaptive brightness is enabled(I think it was mentioned before)
3) Browser doesn't work properly when writing( Example: If i write a word and then i hit space and try to write another word, the first word is deleted)- Problem Solved by installing Chrome
4) Even if i am full Signal the phone tells me i have no service
5) Under the settings and user icon in Notification Bar it writes: null-null when i click it nothing happens
Minor Bugs, this ROM is still the best!!!

Sorry about the null-null report, i found out that is the Weather Widget and now it functions correctly

No service and many many more things fixed after reinstalling supersu
