Hello guys,
Please apologize for this newbie-like thread but I need to ask you a couple of things about the Z2.
I've just sold my Nexus 5 and I got my new Z2, so the question are: what ROM comes closer to the stock Android? (doesn't matter if 4.4.2 or 4.4.4).
I've saved the TA, unlocked and rooted my Z2 keeping the stock rom, what can I do to make it a bit smoother/faster? I'm feeling like my N5 was better
On my old phone i've upgraded the gpu drivers thanks to Qualcomm, does exist anything like this kind of mods for Z2?
Thank you for your kind support #hugs

AOSP roms are literely just android
Z2 rom ive tried making much faster but there isnt much we can do until sony atleast give 4.4.3 to Z2 because there are some glitches/bugs which make the device extremly slow compared to what it can/should be. These exist in 4.4.2
And the kind of mods for Z2 dont exist because people dont make them, usualy custom kernels have this this however a unlocked bootloader for both a kernel or AOSP rom

Ok, well, thanks
Another question: I've seen in the original android development section that there are some 4.4.4 porting, have you ever tried em? If I'll install a custom rom I would like to be able to install some Sony apps, like camera, will be possible?

Camera app from sony will work only on stock based custom rom, it will not work on AOSP, CM, AOKP, and any other rom.

Yes it should. But to be sure, ask this question in development thread of ROM and wait for answer of developer or users of that rom.

We'll have to wait until the androidarmv6 team can modify the legacy msm7x2x code for Android 5.0. Google has removed legacy msm7x2x code since ICS.
Guys dont search for miricals. The best rom for this phone model so far is optimus nexus me v6 by todonormal. Just search it in forum. If you want the latest version of android just buy a new one. They have better qualifications and hardware. Anyone who wants information about flashing root and others just read carefully older threads from this forum.

Hi,
Nice to see other ROM development coming to our phone.
What about MIUI? Any chance of that?
For anyone who hasn't seen it before, it's an Android-based, very elegant system that's been ported to many other Xperias (and other Androids of course). It's fully-featured, stunning and original - it's not just a copy of everything else out there.

Well first we need to get a decent non-stock rom that works and then we can build more roms from that base.
Non-stock? Don't we have AOSP and Cyanogenmod?

No worries. The question is in the title so easily missed. I Should have explained a bit better
I thought somebody would jump at it tbh! ! No worries anyways had problems writing the installation/permissions script with dsxds kitchen so I'm having a go with Ricky's Rom Kitchen instead. Offer still stands though to anyone with a S3i9300 and a bit of experience with custom recoveries. I.e. flashing zips. PM me if you like or simply reply on this thread. Thanks

Hey, I'd test your rom But in my opinion people wouldn't stick to 4.4... that's a pretty old version.
HIt me up, I'll see what I can try.

It's only 4.4.4 base as that's the newest anyone can port from as far as stock TW is concerned. I used a official stock rom for the s3 gti9305 lte as that's had the KitKat update and obviously our i9300 didn't as the phones both have the same chipset etc the rom can be ported. But the rom itself is almost identical to 6.0.1 Marshmallow like note 5 and S6 on Marshmallow. I had quite a few bugs and script errors so I've changed kitchens and I have all day and night today free to do this. Hopefully finish it tonight and I will get back to you. Thanks for your reply/interest.

I've been threw them all cm12 - cm12.1 - cm13. Resurrection remix, temaseks, archidroid etc. There are some really good customed roms but I need touchwiz for the MHL - HDML cause the cm builds don't have the right Samsung USB port drivers. So I went searching for the best touchwiz mod and there are some good ones. I'll send you the download URL once I've done it. Just want to make sure its right.
Edit: might be tomorrow now. I'm shattered. Doing for another 2 hours then stopping until tomorrow afternoon

You mean the 18 months old kk-version?
Battery was very good on a lot of kk-roms, although as I understood the OP, he was talking about the newer Roms he didn't check yet.

Sorry, this is just a confusion.
Obviously you talk of the stock based SLiM Rom, and I was referring to the famous aosp-/cm-based slim Rom.
I hate the name they chose, it's so similar to slimrom.

I recommmnd the Google Style ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-google-style-v1-0-t3300253
It's a Sony stock-based ROM with AOSP/CM apps. The fastest ROM I've ever used, and I get very regularly over 5h SOT with very, very heavy usage

This device still got some life in it. Definitely was a good deal.

Yes, you can. I am check the screenshot.
First flash Rakesh's port 4.8 full rom as a base for Z2. Then on your link download the 4.9 OTA and flash it.
Later you can change your buildprop line for model number to say D6503.

No its not as much slimed down like Purex or Google -Style and far away from the ~300mb of AOSP - like Roms.
But hey, if you install it as your first rom, it will go on systems partition anyway, so why bother? There are lots of people that say it's smooth and battery saving (although some complain about 4.9 being not so battery -friendly as the version before).
I am curious about which marshmallow-roms will show up, and till then I just stay with GoogleStyle as my primary.
Even spent some Bucks on AOKP, cause they made my old HTC wildfire run android 4.04 with tons of features and a power -saving mode I haven't seen on any z2-rom (autoswitch to 2g at screen off) so far....

Yes Sony said so. At the moment there is a beta program in selected countries.
Atm there are MM-builds of Validus, AOKP, AOSP, CM13 (and possibly others) available, hope Sony releases their official version soon.
Hello everyone,
I've been using the Pocophone F1 for quite some time now and really like it but I'd like to install another rom because I don't want all the bloatware.
I did already watch some tutorials which explains how to unlock the bootloader but where do I download the right TWRP version? (I think I have the international version of the Pocophone)
Also, Pixelrom seems very good or would you guys recommend another rom?
Thanks in advance!

Each ROM has its own uniqueness. What may be the best ROM for me may not be the best ROM for you. Once you try a new ROM for a few days, try changing ROMs. You will settle for one that you like best. Some ROMS will have Battery life, some have performance, some are pleasing to the eyes, some have additional features that you may like, some may have features that you don't use at all. So asking which is the best ROM is not correct.
Try different ROMs, the Opening Post will tell you its USP, decide and go ahead.
