What is AOSP ?

AOSP is Android as Google publish without other modifications. More or less AOSP is the Nexus devices stock rom without gapps.

Anyway to get a working system I added some changes from CodeAurora Forum and CyanogenMod. I added also non-AOSP features for a better user experience ("Clear All" button in Recents) and I'm NOT going to add something other.

What is OMS / Substratum ?

Substratum is an application, downloadable from the Play Store, that utilizes all of Sony's Overlay Manager Service (OMS), found on the official AOSP code review. This is similar to Layers in terms of stability and customization as it runs off an upgraded version of the Resource Runtime Overlay system, with the added benefit of running up-to-date Sony code on a customized ROM.

What is RRO ?

Runtime Resource Overlay (RRO) was contributed by Sony to the Android code base. The RRO framework provides the possibility to modify the look and feel of an application while it is running, without any need to change or recompile the application source code. In short, RRO is a Theme Engine replacement which can do wonders!

[halloarno]

Verry verry smooth rom!! Clean & fast (the best performance I have had on my xsp). I haven't engaged any bug so far. Outstanding work AdrianDC. Thanks!

 

[trungpda93]

which recovery use for this rom , i used twrp-3.0.1-r6-fota-huashan.zip for CM13 worked fine, but it not work for this rom

 

[parkavenu]

Thanks Adrian. You are the king.
Is theis rom better than CM13 in performance ?

 

[Sibat Al Nistas]

Smoothest ROM I've tested so far!!
Only con is that it lacks some important customization features...( I guess that's because it's aosp). Hope a smooth RRO rom with some CM level customization will fulfill the gap in future

 

[unclegreggy]

I somehow don't see the NFC toggle option in settings in wireless and network

 

[parkavenu]

Which kernel should I use with this ROM?
Now I'm using CM13 on my XSP. Do I need to use another kernel?

 

[AdrianDC]

Every single ROM has its own kernel and installs it, you don't need to change anything.

 

[AdrianDC]

I added infos about the SystemUI Tuner from Marshmallow in the OP.

For everything related to the recent audio HAL update (low volumes, ...),
please do follow this and test everything you can : http://xdaforums.com/xperia-sp/orig...d-13-0-xperia-sp-t3347677/page17#post66390074

no sim card

Hi,
After a few reboots the sim card isn't detected anymore. Reboot/shutdown solves nothing.
No issue using CM13.
Log cat is in attachment.

Build: 17/04 clean install + opengapps 17/04 + supersu 2.52
I encountered the same issue on an earlier CAF version

Thank for your help

Issue still present on 18/04 build. Clean install once again.
It seems to happen after I configure some android parameter that puts it in an unrecoverable state.

EDIT: => I tried a TWRP wipe after having the issue, and it didn't solved it. The google setup was asking me to insert a sim card.

.

What do you mean by that?

And if that's the problem.... I suggest you not to configure some android parameter

 

[imjcei]

It doesn't happen immediately, I can reboot it at first and while going further in the configuration it seems to reach that unusable state (no sim detected)
The fact that a wipe doesn't solve the issue kinda invalidate that idea.

I could try to use it raw with no extra software nor configuration but I'm not really convinced it's the right solution [emoji6]

whatsapp audio is not working for me. It says it's impossible to configure recorder now, try again later, but it doesn't work.

 

[th3_jok3r]

working fine and smooth. Any way to customize status bar?

Are you on latest build (17/4 or 18/4)? If not, update and try again. WhatsApp audio working fine for me.

 

[pcm992004]

now recovery is missing... how can I enter in recovery mode? I try pressing vol+ / vol- and camera buttons when phone starts but only receive android dead image...
