• What is XOSP?
  • XOSP is an after-market firmware based on CodeAuroraSources (CAF) destinated for a wide range of Android phones. The name stands for the Xperia Open Source Project and the project was initially created by @nilac for the Galaxy S+ (his old device) years ago when 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 it was rebranded to XOSP. Calin worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on his Galaxy S+, he decided to take a break from development until he got his hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then he started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.
• How do we release updates?
  • 
    We release new updates for our Official devices each week by providing Delta updates to the users,so maintainers of the other devices can do the same as well if they want to keep up with the changes. We will make full zip releases only once a month except special cases like for example XOSPDelta is not working or something like it.

Quick Review

I'll give it a shot in couple of hours and will be back with my thoughts on it ....

So, One full day with after installing this one , here's what I think
Good :
1. This ROM looks awesome , behaves awesome,Performance wise its beautiful
2. Battery backup is still moderate ( I guess it's not a porting issue but XOSP source itself has something to do with this)
3. no app force closes, no camera stuttering , camera seems smooth
4. No lag after installing extra apps like its happening with few of the other ROMS, their performance decreases after installing few apps. It's not the case with this one .
5. NO major bugs so far

Bad:
1. Very little set of apps which is kind of negligible . You can install as much as you want later.
2. Not happy with battery backup. I think i'll try some kernel tweaks or ill flash entire kernel and will see if it helps.

All these bads have nothing to do with Devs. Overall my thoughts will be like if you can compromise with battery life for smooth performance and elegant looks , good to go with XOSP.

 

[Morutimeru]

Don't know what you did to this rom but battery life is awesome!!! Thank you!!

 

[Røbin]

Thanks so much guys for your reviews and keep supporting xosp.This took so long when I was first planning to maintain ether.Everything is same as before but the Rom became more stable and optimized than ever.I personally like this rom so much.and I'm happy to see you guys are satisfied as well. I'll provide updated builds every week(Probably start from Saturday).

 

[psychoTR2]

Whoa, so many new ROMs, I'm loving the support! I'll give this a shot tonight.

 

[DECHTECH]

For users coming from Omnirom. How is the performance compared to omni? I'm looking to shake things up atm so if it's as smooth (Or smoother) as omni I'll give it a try and give my thoughts on it.

I'm coming from Omni and let me tell you this rom is really smooth as silk.

Hello guys,I want you to suggest me about root method what would you like to have in the build,Magisk root or SuperSU root?The current build I choose is SuperSU so if you wish to have Magisk root method let me know.If you don't know about this then know that we can choose our favourite root method.

Currently using the rom and it runs great, I would prefer Magisk root method over SuperSU

I would definitely love having Magisk instead of SuperSu Built in.. It would be so cool to be able choose between one or the other with an aroma installer..

I can't maintain RR if there's already an active maintainer.And tester is always welcome.

 

[Røbin]

Hello guys!Unfortunately no new build on this week because xosp merging with 7.1.2 so from next week(saturday) we can have new weekly builds.For everyone,now you can directly request for features and share your issue at Here.The link is also on OP's BUG section.

 

[skies354]

the performance for this rom is the best so far, compared to omni and dui. But the battery life is quite poor compared to them. and lack a few features that others have. Overall a good rom to use daily if you dont mind the battery life!

 

[carbon271]

I'd be more then glad to test whenever u need me their is one issue I ran into is when the screen is off and ur listening to music u can't put the volume up u gotta turn the screen on for it to put the volume up is the only issue I've had so far and @Røbin I think their isn't a maintainer anymore for Resurrection Remix I tried getting in contact but I haven't seen no one for it is been a couple of months and since the nextbit community development died off because of razor their isn't any other way I can contact him only thru here but no response at all honestly idk honestly I apologise for asking for such request of RR is another one of my favorite Custom Rom
