AIUI everyone pretty much followed RT [e.g. See Tur re: Ta'anis and shekia
as well as SA etc. [Exceptions include: Rambam re: Neros hanukkah etc.
Levush about zmanei Tefillah.

 The Sea Change AIUI was the GRA and The SA Harav and the fact that
Lithuania is so close to the Arctic cicrle it was impossible to follow RT.

Yekke and Hngraian communites still allow for Mincha after "shekia" [i.e
first shekia} and [as mentioned above] Litvaks might have followed suit if
not for the extreme latittude.

Three is a entire controversy brewing at Breuer's re: keeping the old zminim
in the face of the Yeshivishe world's demand to daven BEFORE shekia...
