GPE 4.4.4 port for non-gpe is a good choice for battery saving.
Currently I am on CM 11 with greatdev kernel so far so good as the customization is minimal compared to other CM/AOKP based roms but stable.
AOKP missing navigation bar in landscape with lower dpi so i'm staying away from it.
GPE 5.0 port for non-gpe is great too if you want the latest android and doesn't depend on xposed framework.
StoneUI .118 HD3 if you want Sony feel with a whole bunch of unused apps removed.

Lol, I wish I could agree. Despite re-flashing and even formatting, wiping cache and dalvic, I'm getting 2 hours on screen time for my battery.
Even when not using the phone my battery drains like crazy, around 15-20% over an 8 hour period...
That said I can only hope Android 5.1 fixes the horrible battery drain issue.

Can anyone please refer to a rom anyone used on this phone and it worked without many bugs.
i searched for cm11 but it still has many bugs on this phone so i ignored it. Please refer to me roms that have a newer version on android only. I dont want customised stock roms. just omniroms or maybe cm10.2. Thanks everyone!:laugh:

Interesting. Nice find, I didn't know this one. I will test to see if it's really KitKat :good:
Edit: it is a beautiful ROM, but it isn't KitKat. It's the same Android JB we all have in our devices. I'm considering to keep it installed.
It is for i8552B

well its nice, much lighter than the original stock rom. Plus its better and much sleeker than the touchwiz. Although its not a major upgrade like cyanogenmod. But yeah, worth more than the stock rom. One of the cleanest rom for grand quattro :good:

Yes, I tested. Let me write a little review.
I would say Bionic Monkey (the name of the rom) is a stock-based rom, with some interesting mods. By default the rom changes the DPI, so more things fit on screen. Some apps are KitKat-themed, like contacts or dialer. The stock launcher was replaced by Google Experience Launcher. It's also pre-rooted and has support to multiwindow. I didn't test multiwindow, but I think it's nice on that rom because of DPI.
The major disadvantage is that the rom is not KitKat, despite the system info. You can test it by installing any app only for KitKat - it will refuse to install.
So, in general, it's a good rom for daily use, so you might give it a try.

There's no KK for us, at least for now. All the roms that claim to be any Android higher than 4.1.2 are actually themed roms with mods on build.prop, but in fact they are Android 4.1.2.
The exception is CM (the one in link provided by you), that is KK in fact. But is still unstable and not suited for daily use.

CM 10.2 is at the same stage as CM11. Not fully functional. No network detected.
For more battery life which ROM is suitable Google Play Edition VS Google Play Edition Tweaked VS Cyanogenmod 10.2 (STABLE) VS Cyano
genmog 11 (NIGHTLY) vs SONY STOCK!
I am so satisfied on my Sony Xperia Z Ultra, except the battery!
The only problem I am facing is "battery drain issue"!
Could anybody please tell me which ROM is more battery friendly for Sony Xperia Z Ultra!
That depends on usage, so no, we can't tell you that.

It's stable for everything for me, except the camera. The camera was working fine so I guess I'll get it working again (we'll the dev's at CM will). there have also been a few users that have had issues with GPS but I never have.
Camera/GPS/etc will most likly be in all Custom ROMs that use the CM1 device tree
thanks

I usually get 5+ SOT with this Rom, however i do use Androplus Kernel V72 with Alucard gov & Intelliplug.
Maybe give it try and see if you like it.
KK was very fine too... If you don't mind installing a 4.X android then you could try one of these, like the kk-version of eXistenz .
( I just kept the kk-Carbon-ROM on my sd-card because of this. First, it was just because no LP of carbon appeared, then I kept it because it ran fine and I think the dl-link is dead now if I remember correctly )
Purex 9&10 gave me decent battery life too.
But I am a user that has BT, location, Wi-Fi, mobile-data always on, so your experience may differ if you use your phone otherwise.
Mx ROM v8.0.0 cc
Great battery life and good all-round ROM
So guys it's been a while since i checked the forum and i found some new roms. is there any recommendation for a good clean rom with good performance and battery life? few bloatware, etc.

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.

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.
Hi, I want to know which Rom is the most popular Rom For Z2 and which of them Do you use for daily usage ?
1. existenz V5.1 Final MM
2. existenz V7 Lolipop
3. Mx Rom V8.6
4. Sony Stock
5. Aosp MM
6. Cm
7. other
I'm running on Mx Rom V8.6 for the daily usage, the ROM is very stable and fluid smooth. ExistenZ is best for fast update and lot features, but I'm feeling it became bit laggy overtime in long run.
Both are great ROMs and great developers, very grateful to have them in Z2 development. Been using custom ROM since Kit Kat on day one Z2 launched in my country.
I'm running Google Style ROM.
I've tried other ROMs as well, but I keep returning to this one. It's just perfect. Slim and AOSP-ish, while still maintaining Sony apps and features. Removing them further slims it down.
Toss in a couple of xposed modules like : N-ify, GravityBox, Lolistat and flash PexoCAM 8.5 and install LSpeed app to make it the best rom ever.
I've faced zero issues and I've been using it for months.

Stock rom for daily use (23.5.A.1.291)
I'm using GoogleStyle ROM. In my opinion is the best rom in performance, battery life and multitasking. ExistenZ is very good for his personalization but have bad multitask.
Send from my D6503 with LB.
Switched from ExistenZ 5.1 Final to MX recently. Both are good but not perfect, each has some issues. Most stable and smoothest custom Z2 ROM ever posted in XDA in my opinion was Lollipop ROMs by Rajeev.
I'm on existenz lollipop final, I missed so much Real stamina mode that I step back from marschmallow Roma.

Z2 stock
Until i get another phone my z2 is stock on 23.5.A.1.291
As my everyday phone i dont want to kill it. For trails i have a Xperia Z with 10.7.A.0.228
If i unlock the boot loader, which is allowed, it never boots at all. Thanks to Flashtool i have always been able to recover. I cannot root without using KingoRoot.apk but that does not allow the correct version of SU to be installed. Tried Darkslide SuperSume to remove the crap that KingoRoot leaves but that ultimately fails because of the locked boot loader and i've already explained what happens if i try.
These issues make me reluctant to play with the Z2.
