General ROM Questions
1. How can I theme RR ‘N’? Where is CMTE?
A: Developers of Cyanogen Mod are still working on CMTE for Nougat. RR has no control over this, and we are just as eager to have it as you are. For now, you can download and use Substratum (Legacy) to theme RR. However, some themes can cause bootloops if you install the Android System overlay. If you decide to use Substratum, you are doing this at your own risk! Please read the pinned post in the Substratum community for more information.
2. When will RR ‘N’ be available for my device?
A: If your device has a maintainer, it will be available when he/she decides to build it. Please don’t ask for ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) or about updates here.
3. Where can I find RR downloads for my device?
A: Official builds: http://downloads.resurrectionremix.com
Mirror: https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/
Unofficial builds: Can be found on https://www.androidfilehost.com, OR on XDA in the RR thread for your device.
– Note: If you cannot find RR for your device using the above suggestions, then RR is most likely not available for your device.
4. Can you please make RR for my device? (device request)
A: Developers of RR cannot build RR for your device unless one of them owns that device. If RR developers obtain your device through donation or by purchasing it themselves, then they will probably build it for your device (as long as there is already a CM build for that device). Please do not make device requests.
5. Can I dirty flash RR?
A: Sometimes, yes. However, a clean flash is always recommended, because dirty flashing can cause bugs. If you dirty flash RR to your device and experience any bugs, please do not report them here. RR developers will not help you until you do a clean flash and reproduce the bug.
6. How can I update RR without losing apps and data?
A: By performing a dirty flash. In TWRP, go to “Advanced Wipe”, and wipe only dalvik, system, and cache. Then install ROM and Gapps. (However, please read question #5).
7. Why is OTA not working? (E.g. “Cant’ check update”)
A: Not all builds of RR have OTA enabled because it can only be enabled by your maintainer (the person who builds RR for your device). If you are using a build that does not have a working OTA, contact your maintainer on XDA in the RR thread for your device, and request that they take a look at https://github.com/resurrectionremix/ota .
8. Which kernel is best for this rom?
A: The RR stock kernel. You can go ahead and install a custom kernel to your device, however if you experience any bugs while using a custom kernel, RR developers will not help you until you revert back to the stock kernel and re-produce the bug.
9. Which Gapps should I use?
A: Open Gapps or Dynamic Gapps. For Open Gapps, the package you choose depends on how many of the Google apps you want included in your ROM. Please see the Open Gapps website for a description of each package.
10. How can I find who my maintainer is, and where can I contact them?
A: Go to Settings –> Configurations –> About Resurrection –> Devices and Maintainers. However, please contact your maintainer on XDA in the RR thread for your device, NOT through G+.
Feature Questions
11. Where is ________ feature?
A. RR Nougat is still in early development/testing, and many features that were on Marshmallow haven’t been re-added to Nougat yet. Be patient, more features will be added as time goes by.
12. Where can I turn on/off the battery charging light and notification light?
A: Go to Settings –> Notifications –> Then press the settings ‘gear’ symbol in the top right corner of your screen. You will then see options for battery and notification lights.
13. What is the purpose of the Caffeine tile?
A: The Caffeine tile is similar to the Timeout tile, but the Caffeine tile will only extend your screen timeout ‘temporarily’. Once the time on the Caffeine tile runs out, it turns off and reverts back to your ‘original’ screen timeout. The caffeine tile can also be set to ‘infinite’.
14. Why is DT2W not working?
A: Not all devices have this feature, so RR does not include it in the main RR rom/kernel. It is a feature that must be added to your device’s kernel. If you know that your device is compatible with DT2W, then contact your maintainer on XDA to ask them if they can include it in the kernel. Some ‘custom’ kernels also have this feature, so you may need to use a custom kernel. However, please read question #8 above.
15. Can I use Xposed / is Xposed compatible with RR?
A: Xposed for Nougat is not available yet. But even if it was, RR does not officially support Xposed. So please do not ask Xposed related questions here.
