• If you are experiencing issues logging in, we moved to a new and more secure software and older account passwords were not able to be migrated. We recommend trying to reset your password, then contacting us if there are issues.
  • Nearly done! Migration cleanup is mostly done. There are a small number of issues left that we continue to work on, but all the heavy lifting is done. We still would love to hear feedback over at this thread and also check out the new XDA app! Thanks and we hope you enjoy the new forums, and thanks for your support of XDA <3

As always, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device due to custom rom / kernel flashing & other lovely things that you do with it :)
It is expected of you to know what you are doing.

We intend this to be a friendly, learning thread.
Requests, Suggestions & feedback are always welcome.

Team Twisted would like to bring to you - Twisted Android Project

This has been a serious learning experience for all of us involved as well as a super fun trip :D
We totally enjoyed making this, and hope you like it as well.

We would first and foremost like to Thank all our friends., There are many, many devs here on XDA who have been patient with us and have always been there to lend a helping hand. It would be impossible to name all of you, but if we have spoken to you even once, we are deeply grateful for what you have done.
Something that may seem very simple to one person, would have probably helped us get out of a hole that we were stuck in for days :p
Help has been invaluable, we will not forget it!

Special thanks to our awesome Testers.Their constant support on a minute to minute basis has been incredible and invaluable There have been days of flashing 12-15 different builds in a session, and all of you have been so helpful, patient, and so much fun to be around, it made doing this a huge pleasure. :) Unknown usernames online have become good friends, and this is by far the best outcome of this project.
Thanks to all the folks over at the Slim Builder’s Collective, where all of this began

We would like to note that we do not take credit for any of the code for any of the features we have included. All thanks goes to the super awesome, and highly talented devs and teams. We have tried as far as possible to maintain credits in our GIT commit pages, but if in any instance during conflict resolution, or when we commit using SmartGit, the original author’s name has been obfuscated, please accept our apologies, do bring it to our attention, we will correct the oversight immediately. We are extremely thankful to all the coders out there who put out amazing new features, patches and updates that makes the Android experience a lot more brilliant…

This is our small contribution back to the community that taught us everything :good:

Thanks to SlimRoms, CM, OptiPop, Layers Team & many of the other open source projects out there.

Coming from stock or another ROM:

  1. Factory Reset
  2. Full wdata, wipe: system, cache, dalvik cache.
  3. Flash latest firmwares if you haven't flash it yet.
  4. Flash the Twisted build.
  5. Flash gapps
  6. DO NOT Flash latest SuperSU

Coming from previous Twisted build:

Flash the Twisted build.
No need to wipe dalvik-cache.


  • Layers Backup app in twisted apps allows you to retain the set layers after a dirty flash. We recognise the fact that there is a similar feature within Layers Manager, however there is a major difference.
    You set all the layers you want, click on the backup & let it do it’s work. After you do a dirty flash, the ROM boots with your layers pre-installed. No need of a reboot.

  • If you are facing issues with the power button not responding, got to Display, check ‘Prevent accidental wake up’. Then switch it off again. Reboot.

  • Flashing SUperSU during ROM flash may result in losing Advanced Power Menu
  • No reason for xposed not to work on twisted. But if any issues, we may not be able to support them


  • Camera FC when using HDR mode in Google Camera
  • Tell us if you find any BUGTRACKER

Twisted Android Project - Info
What is Layers?
Layers is a extension of runtime resource overlay. RRO is a framework created by sony for use as a way for them to create xperia themes but also for internal quick prototyping.

More info?

Layer commits?
Twisted will be getting all the latest layer commits due to me being apart of Bitsyko Development. So expect having commits first before other ROMS.

LOL. You finally decided to visit XDA again and that's the best you got?:laugh:

On a ROM related note, incredible work you guys have done on this. Thanks for all the blood sweat and beers that you guys have put into this for the past few months. It's fast, has more features than you can ever need and the battery almost reminds me of KK.:cool:
