Still not a single rom? - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The Z2 tablet has been out for several months, and I love mine, but there still isn't a single custom rom? I really want to load cyanogenmod on this thing. Is there something stopping development or are there just not any developers who own one of these tablets? I'm sorry for coming off as impatient but I can't find any roms on these forums or anywhere else.

Well, a few days ago Sony relased the kernel sources on GitHub (as anounced here and the actual sources on GitHub are found here). This should mean that more developers will be able to create some ROMs. However, there is only a preview ROM which was posted on this fourm. Note I said "preview" and it's only for the LTE model. Looks like ROMs are in the works.
I will be flashing Cyanogenmod whenever it comes out for the 16GB Wi-Fi model, so hopfully that will come into existence someday . Will be watching these fourms! By the way, I'm not a Developer, however I have been looking over these fourms recently.

Yeah I've got a 32GB WiFi model. At least there's a test version out for the LTE model.

Update for "Still not a single rom?"
I'm sure you guys know this, but there is a unofficial release for Cyanogenmod posted on the original development forum for this tablet (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2-tablet/orig-development/z2-tabletdevelopment-cm11-android-4-4-t2809793). Haven't tested it yet however there are a few comments stating that the NFC does not work. Other than that it sounds promising for being in development. Note when you download the ROM there will be "Castor" and "Castor_windy" rom. The "castor_windy" is for the WI-FI model, and the "castor" one is for the LTE supported tablet.
Can anyone get the .zip to download though? It keeps wanting me to pay to download the file. Maybe it's just me though . . .

[ROM]iEuropa ROM

Currently it's still in pre-alpha stage and "not'' fit for daily use.
The ROM has been ported from Galaxy Ace(GT-s5830)(by Jusada) and is a cyanogenMOD 7 based ROM originally made for the HTC Desire by the AEDesign Team of China. The ROM is an exact replica of Apple's iOS with all its visual features.
Some screenshots -

Its so sad to see that a dev works to his potential to bring some goodness to your phone (galaxy 5) and the only person who hits the thanks button is the user of another phone (galaxy 3) !!!! No doubts devs have a less support by the community here and therefore development is slow...

You are totally right unfortunately...
We work for 'em and no love at all(xda way...), on madteam at least i'm loved
Yep this would be a good rom If a dev had the time to work on it,My main phone now it my SG Wonder and I would love that to have aversion of it on it..
Why would you use Roms like that when you have AOKP iOS theme?

[Q] Nabi 2 Root Problems

Hi
I would have posted this in the Nabi 2 root thread, but i don't have enough posts to do so.
I have tried and tried to root both my girls Nabi 2 tablets and i get errors with both of them, i have rooted a few Android devices before and find it easy, but i just cant get these to Nabi 2's done.
Using jmztaylor's method i get this error:

If i try to install root or gapps via recovery, i get this error:
I cannot see or understand what i am doing wrong, i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 at Christmas and everything went fine, im using the same computer to do thes Nabi 2's but just errors all the time.
My most recent update on them was December i think, is it possible Nabi may have blocked the method to do this between the root being released and Christmas ?

No i just have the normal Nabi 2, im thinking it was the update i did on Christmas day, its above the version that everyone is rooting their Nabi 2's on.
EDIT
Thanks to your link, i found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074501
It seemed to root fine, i even have SuperSU on the Nabi, but it wont install gapps, so i tried installing the Market independently, it installs but wont run, lol its frustrating as i normally find these things easy, now i feel a bit stupid for not being able to get it sorted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065878&highlight=nabi
not sure if you tried this version of gapps ?
I just go in to Twrp in choose install
this tablet does tend to exersize the brain a bit more
thank goodness for XDA forum. Oorah .... lol

Network operator name not resolved !!

Hello everyone,
Now this is a strange error... I upgraded to Lollipop 5.1 yesterday and did a fresh installation. Now I can't see the operator names !
If I scan for network operators, I get 55533 -65502 -65504
It should be Vodacom, MTN etc....
Any idea ?

Can you register on a network, despite it just showing as numbers or does the service not work either? I would post the build number of the software and which Z phone, in case there is something specific that someone else might know about.

Yes as you can see from the signal in my posted pic, I am registered to the network.

If you're registered to the network, is there really an issue then, other than cosmetic? I know there are multiple versions of different Z phones, like c6602, c6603, etc. Did you make sure to get the correct update for your version? Did you update via OTA, FTF, or Sony PC Companion?

It's OTA update.
Not really cosmetic as I travel a lot and when I roam I need to select the cheapest plan.
I'm positive that it's the correct version. Never seen anything like that except WM 5.0 back in time.
Yea, not really sure. I've seen it while roaming, but that's it. Guess you could always try a factory reset...I find many kinds of phones, Apple and Android, benefit from resetting after OTAs, especially if it's a large jump in versions.

Android 11 Release

Just got the OTA offer:

Now i'm on my pc, i can see your signature. looks like your version of the phone has a lot options in stock recovery than the one i'm seeing. I have the tmobile variant (also know as Tmobile Revvl 5g) in US, the recovery is stripped down more. Hopefully Tmobile would push out the update.

Thank you for posting I just downloaded to look around the zip file. Has anyone here figured out how to correctly extract the OTA Firmware boot.img from boot.img.p file and try to patch with Magisk? 7z opens the boot.img.p as an archive. When running the file in magisk it does not recognize it.

Good question, it might be possible.
Issues I've had with 11:
- YT Music sometimes thinks its offline, only started when I installed 11 and its definitely not offline.
Another bodge I've had to do is disable absolute volume due to a BT speaker but thats the speakers fault (lowest gain is too high).
OTA released, Jan 2021 to May 2021 PL.
Received the OTA for Android 11 this morning (T-Mobile Revvl 5G variant)
Also received this OTA on both of my Revvl 5G devices. Getting the gut feeling it might shave an hour of SOT off, but didn't have enough time with 10 to properly compare (the OTA auto-installed). Didn't note any major differences/issues with the update otherwise.
To update. Compared against the 6B6XUMX1 that the device shipped with, the Android 11 OTA drained 10% overnight and reduced SOT a measured 2h. This is with a fresh wipe and minimal app reinstall. I'd avoid for now.

Troys N986U A12 Rom

im uploading my custom N986U A12 Rom if anybody else wants it. I made sure to odin all the files on my phone beforehand and it went smoothly, but i cannot promise anything lol.This will wipe your phone though, as i didnt want any unnecessary problems. Once your about to finish setup, the sim manager should pop up. Just turn your sim off, and on again to restore data. IDK why it requires that, but its only once. If you dont get the manager, it should be in data settings. Took around 8 hours before performance improved but now its just as fast as A11. Flash in the corresponding slots in patched odin.Based on N986USQS2EULE
Kernel source : https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=A12
If you have any requests, just shoot and il look into it.

UPDATE: Made a updated N986U1 Rom for those who prefer U1 over U. Runs smoother in my opinion too.

Will this Rom work for Verizon? Is there a Verizon version?
It's universal csc, so yes it will
Hello guys, sorry if I missed, but it's for snapdragon or exynos? Thanks for attention

@troy896 Whats the process to install this one?
Sorry I been years away the dev scenes.
Well,
I have tried every single Odin available hahahhaa and doesnt flash. (FAILED)
Am I missing something?
Well I'm having an audio issue now. Phone runs great, all smooth animations and everything... until i playback ANYTHING with audio. It'll play for 3 seconds and then stutter/stop for 3 seconds. Voicemails, Spotify, YouTube... you name it.
Did a factory reset and still the same thing. Any ideas?
EDIT: So after some tinkering with permissions i was able to resolve the issue. I believe it had something to do with bixby and full time mic access. Smooth sailing now!
