/* *Welcome to Tipsy OS* */

Dev Notes:

This is something i started in my 'free' time when waiting for GZR Validus or Tesla builds and having some drinks.

I just started with a aospb base, and added what i thought useful. I grew up to be a fully functional rom, and some people got interested, so i decided to share..
The main goal is to keep it Slim based, i will not add any cm unless Slim does.
Since we are now part of the GZR family, maintainers & device support will be the same, any device not in the list, just ask....

TipsyOS is an AOSPB based ROM with Integrated RRO Layers, to theme your Xperia SP at it's best.

UI is fully and properly themable, thanks to ROM devs.

Fast, Feature-Filled, coupled with Powerful (&& Stable) Kernel by @Adrian DC for high performances :highfive:

Bluetooth has a problem currently. I'm trying to find the Erroneous Module, other than that, Bluetooth Audio, MAC, Pairing, Searching are all Okay.

You may try it yourself and find other problems if present.

Thank you but i cant see screenshoots .

If you're talking about the Screenies in Main Post, then probably its teh XDA Forums Issue (I may be wrong!). For me, the Pics may appear or links appear. I gave a link just below the last Screenie to see all the Screenies with the ones in that Section

Oh , i see. It's actually XDA forums problem. I faced this issue too on my thread of Splashscreens. I solved that problem by upload the screens as attachment to xda and copy their link and put them on the thread.

You can see images because your browser cached them. I think all of us cannot see screenshots.
Hope you understand, thank you!

has anyone tried the latest version ?:fingers-crossed:

I'm using, is really good.

[Arvind7352]

Hmm, my Previous Build has the AOSP Revision to be r22. And Some Changes in Tipsy GitHub weren't synced Locally.
(Figured out by Missing Changelog)

Why? Coz I faced Syncing Problems (Idk Sources why weren't updated forcefully)

This doesn't cause any Major Problems. Yet, I have already started a Build which has the Latest Changes in Tipsy and AOSP Sources Upped to r30. (Verified [emoji1] )

Will come up in few hours. Sorry for the Inconvenience caused.

 

[Arvind7352]

Build done!
Uploading the Build -- Updating teh post As soon as Upload completes

Changelog:
-> Many Changes in the ROM Source (Moving to Slim && Adding some repos for self-maintenance )
-> 6.0.1_r22 -> 6.0.1_r30 (Actual, this time xD)
-> Added Gestures by AdrianDC

#StayTipsy

Hardware Decoding works properly in Tipsy, so it must work on Validus. A Slim repo had some problems AFAIK

 

[Arvind7352]

Thanks @shavendum for reporting

Just looked at the TipsyOS Manifest and saw that the "BusyBox" repo has been found missing. Due to which LCD Density and V4A weren't working. Yet he could install Stericson's BusyBox and get it working.

So, I would add BusyBox to my manifest and get it back in future builds

Hi, thanks for this awesome ROM

One question though - I switched from CM 12 nightly (flashed via CM recovery) and now my recovery is gone. What gives? Tried installing TWRP with Rashr, but no luck. Tried flashing with fastboot - "FAILED! Partition 'recovery' not found!" Am I correct in assuming I need a different kernel here, one with a recovery of sorts?

Also, on an unrelated note, would you consider not adding ES File Explorer to the ROM? It has become bloatware with what some consider malicious, or at least annoying, properties (like wanting to "analyze" and "optimize" your SD card and apks...) Any other file manager must surely be better these days. Cheers in advance

I guess you're aware about TWRP 3.0.2 . Go to that thread, and download the ".img" file.

Now Install any Terminal Emulator from Play Store. Open that App and enter these commands one by one.

 su

 dd if=/sdcard/Downloads/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel

Rename the .img file you've downloaded to "recovery.img". So that the command can be properly executed.

Now Reboot your phone. When you see the Light Sequence, repeatedly press Volume + (up) button to enter the Recovery. Done, you have a working Recovery.

You may ask about this in the Tipsy Google+ Community. Links are there in the main post. (I personally don't like that app (almost Bad), but it is included in the ROM, so I do.)

Thanks for the reply. My problem was slightly more complex, as I had no Gapps installed and hence no access to Play store. But I managed

Just in case someone else gets themselves in a similar fix, here's what I did:

1. found an apk of Jack Palevich's terminal emulator
2. installed TWRP following Arvind7352's instructions above, but with a certain modification:

if=/sdcard/Downloads/recovery.img

needs to point to where the .img file with your recovery actually is (and its actual name), and since Android Marshmallow started messing about with external storage, mine was something like if=/storage/5FF7-2B75/Download/twrp-huashan.img
3. rebooted to recovery... NOT! Apparently, the phone didn't wise up that the recovery was installed and entered a bootloop. Fortunately it was still visible to adb, so in a terminal window on my PC I rebooted the phone (adb reboot recovery) and it booted... but not into recovery; it simply booted into system.
4. Slightly frustrated, i rebooted into recovery again, using the power menu. Magic! It booted into TWRP.
5. I happily installed opengapps nano, rebooted, faced a slew of FCs (system, play services, system, services... ad infinitum)
6. Cursed a lot, rebooted into recovery, factory wiped, flashed ROM and Gapps in one go, rebooted, all is fine now
