Firstly, apps that are meant to run at startup don't. For example, I installed GSam Battery Monitor - when running, this app has a permanent notification showing the battery percentage. If I reboot the phone, this notification does not appear - until I run the app. This also affects updating widgets (like the Weather & Clock widget from devexpert) and receiving notifications from PayPal, eBay etc... It may even have contributed to a few SMS messages being lost, although I can't be sure about that.
Secondly, background services do not run correctly. Taking GSam Battery Monitor as an example again - when you run the app the notification appears. If you then swipe right on the list of running tasks, the app if killed - along with the notification! This is not normal Android behaviour. I have at least 8 other Android devices in the house, running versions from 4.4 to 6.0 - no other device does this when you swipe to close an app.
Thirdly, the battery percentage sometimes stops updating. So you might think the phone is 75% charged, then it just dies. The first time this happened I thought the phone was actually broken, because I saw it was charged then it would not turn on.
The Rome X is not supported in your RootJoy software at the moment - any chance of getting an OTA update to fix these issues?
