you mean port Samsung ROM yo xperia devices?
think you can not, to my knowledge, you can only port design elements (wallpapers, icons, etc.) remember that Samsung, Sony, HTC, has as base Android, and every company that makes is to customize Android to differentiate it from the competition and put their own applications to use unique features of each company.

thanks for reply..
Yes, I mean port Samsung Rom to Xperia ...but why?
Because I tested about 10 Roms on my Xperia U ((Official & Customized)) but all have the same problems
Lag in calls...takes toooo long time to open apps like Whatsapp,viber,FB, or messaging....I only use those apps
While Samsung devices have less ram and cpu speed open 10000 apps and have great performance.

I think what you say has 2 reasons,
1. remember this Samsung above to Sony in device development, his architecture gives it better performance than many others devices.
2. like I said, all are based on Android, and we know that Sony makes optimization for your devices is not always good.
can not carry because Samsung and Sony architectures are different and therefore can not, it is not if you have the same capabilities RAM or not.
example is the Galaxy s3 mini, maclaw can not port ROM for Xperia U but share certain things, he had to take a ROM Sony and implement arrangements that can be (I speak of KitKat)

I've read a lot that Sony is making a good work about releasing they source code for developers, and Qualcomm is doing the same too, and that makes than Sony devices great for development, i have a Galaxy S2 i9100G that have a chipset that isn't Samsung, A TI OMAP, and for now that makes my devices better for development that the Exynos one, i tho that Xperia S having both sides (Sony and Qualcomm) working great that this device has even better development than my phone, but i wanted to know why still some features are missing and my phone has 4.1.2 fully working even before than Oficial to Galaxy Nexus? My device and all TI OMAPS from samsung were the first phones that get fully working CM10, so that's my doubt! Hope that someone can help me!

[Q] ZTE GRAND X IN vs Live With Walkman vs Xperia J

Yes, This is a question but for comparation phones and I think it belogs here. If not, mods please move it
I'm buying ZTE GRAND X IN next week and I want to ask you what you think about it. Spec here
I might switch to it and give lww to my dad or vice versa if it receive JB. I read that it will get in March 2013 (this month)
So, what do you think. According to unboxing videos it has AOSP UI which I like it
Edit: And how about Xperia J? Same spec like our phones with planned JB update
xperia j doesnt have same specs
our phones are better
but zte is better

Well it has 1GHz single core, 512MB RAM, JB update (I'm mad at you Sony Xperia U is more better but it don't have JB)
J spec here
Odp: [Q] ZTE GRAND X IN vs Live With Walkman vs Xperia J
But J is too laggy for me. I have in my hands Xperia and ZTE. ZTE is super smooth, but I want my Mango

Why do you want the official jb? You could very easily use custom fw. if the phone has better specs, it will be smooth too.

If I can do it, I will done that with my LwW. I have locked bootloader and 90% I'm sure this phones will be locked too.
Ok. There isn't any jb rom for locked right?
Btw, you could try wotan server, (I know it's not free, but considering you have two phones with un-unlockable bootloader)
Back on topic, I would go with zte as j specs are almost like ours, except the jb part. (Heard zte was better.)

Jb roms couldn't run on locked bootloader coz sony didn't released any official kernel, rom or sources for jb for our phones and will never do it. So we need custom kernels for jb which obviously need an unlocked bootloader.
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ
Dont miss the ICON FARM!
Well, there is not even Z for ZTE GXIN and J anroid development forum is not that rich like this :/ I'll buy it but I'm not sure if I or my dad will use it
I don't know if this is bad news but ZTE Grand x In have x86 processor instead of ARM and some apps might be not compatible with it.

[Q] Why CyanogenMod?

I dont understand till now that is there any conflict with sony and cyanogenmod??? why dont cyanogen put xperia p rom in there official site ???? Why, can anybody explain it?
You can say the same for the Galaxy Ace 2...
The CM team is snobbish and doesn't dedicate resources for the less popular (hyped) phones, so we only have unofficial builds made by independent programmers!
They do have the link for Percy's thread in their site but they do not officially support it.
Like Riccardo said, they support only high end devices with a wide user database. That and they are practically in love with sammy

Is an Ultra Z still applicable in 2017?

Continuation of the 2014 thread.
OK, I'll chime in. Just short of paying $1K for the new Note 8, I'd say the Z Ultra still holds its own.
Yup , Z ultra is my dailly driver for almost every thing , amazing battery and running KK, Aosp MM , lollipop , marshmellow and Noughat almost every thing , I bet it will run Oreo as well , coz of its powerful hardware ... if by any mean we will get the binaries and some devs who are still working on building .for this amazing machine..

a b s o l u t e l y !!!
I can ask you a tip ...
I had this terminal just came out, but then I sold it, now I bought it back, and as soon as I got installed a number of roms, but in all the roms I tried the battery convinces me. I changed the battery, but I think but I do not think the situation is combiata.
What rom you use?
Anyone still using Sony ultra z in Nvember 2020? I got myself a Huawei mate pro30 - like its speed , camera and the fact I can install as many applications that I like without worrying for its storage space and memory. Yet scrolling Facebook just on it just made me missed my Sony ultra z - I miss the big screen and the Xperia Chinese keyboard which offers t9 English keyboard and ability to write Chinese on it. I bought Huawei mate30¤ pro as it's half its original retail price and the fact of it has 5G option makes it an easy ( but regrettable decision)...

Yeah, still using it, for the same purpose I purchased it back in 2014. With OruxMaps it gives a great Bicyle GPS. It is easy & Cheap to repair (Battery, Screen, all easy to get) and I even bought a second one as backup. Latest Android 5 updates were supplied from this forum until end of last year - what more can you expect? Further Software updated would be great, but it will even continue to work without...

MIUI 11 GSI on mi a3

aslo badly need miui on my mi a3
It is literally known as meme-ui the whole Android community gives out about it, it is a meme for how bad it is.
Your better off going with an aosp rom as your privacy and data will be safe, Android one just gives it all to Google aswel.
Read up about these things first don't just go blindly flashing stuff coz it's "cool".
Plus it's a lot heavier than an aosp rom which will eat ram and battery on the device and probably result in a decrease in performance.
What is the reasoning behind wanting miui so much? Just out of curiosity.
Is there any way to install gsi on mi a3? tried to install resurrection remix through fastboot in "A" slot (fastboot flash system system.img) but phone doesn't boot.

Why did you buy the A3 in the first place? CC9e is identical in specs but with MIUI, I'd buy this phone because of Android One like the most of us.

moreover, CC9e has FullHD+ 1080p screen, unlike A3.
3 yars since A1 was released, and people are still buying Android One devices to install miui there...

nope the cc9e is also 720p. the cc9 is indeed fhd (aka mi 9 lite)
yes, such a shame... and makes no sense, the android one support does add to the price the phones so why... is a big mistery for me too... not to mention variety, there's countkess more miui phones to choose from

What you are saying used to be true.
I hated Miui when I first tried it in 2017. Recent Global versions of Miui is fantastic, I prefer using the customized Xiaomi/EU rom.
AOSP has its merits, but the Xiaomi Meme thing is honestly outdated and frankly silly.
and after so many jokes and history classes, and explanations of the boy who works at bestbuy, is there any way to use MIUI in the A3?

...Second space
Record calls (without using any 3rd party app)
etc, etc, etc
What's so bad on using 3rd party apps to have those feature? I for one have zero interest in call recorder, screen recorder, app lock, second space or any of the MIUI apps and I'm glad that these, for me useless apps are not part of the system. That's why I always choose clean Android. If you know that you need such features, well, buy a phone with MIUI..? Even if you somehow manage to boot MIUI on A3, it won't support OTA updates and most probably some of the essential features won't work (e.g. FP sensor).

If Mi CC9e had a global MIUI (not English / Chinese only), there would be no such conversation. But since there are a lot of people who like MIUI more than Android Stock, there are a lot of people looking for MIUI for the Mi A3!

Xiaomi has 4 phones with Android One and at least 20 with MIUI. A3 is nothing special (except the Android One program), why on Earth would you choose it over any other phone with fully supported MIUI out of the box? Just to complain that you miss things which are deliberately not present?

A3 is nothing special? Tell me one smartphone with a screen less than 6 inches (for me very important) and a decent battery (over 4000 mAh). In addition it has a good / excellent camera.

I am not familiar with MIUI phones as I find zero interest in them. If there is no such phone, I guess you need to make a compromise somewhere.
Most recent phones have excellent camera with gcam mod.

			
				
Guys, MIUI has its benefits, but stock android is not that bad either. I just love stock android.
But it seems many people are regretting buying this phone. Maybe someone will port MIUI for A3 someday, meanwhile you can follow the video shared by @ozankardes, it looks promising. The video is not in English, but I guess you can pickup the important bits easily. Good luck!
I tried the MIUI ROM in the video. it work.
ROM belongs to MI CC9e. Only 2 languages. English & Chinese. You can use morelocale2.
-No Google apps.
-Auto brightness is not stable.
-Fingerprints don't work.
Everything works except what those.
I tried a few more A/B GSI roms (Flyme 8, MIUI 11). None of them worked. Maybe only will work GSI A roms I don't know. We need to do more trials.
