[Request] Please port Xperia Z3 Marshmallow Concept to Z2 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I think I'm not the only one who wanna use Marshmallow on Z2 with LB, and since the Z2 and Z3 are both based on the same platform (shinano), I think it can't be so hard to port it to Z2. I tried flashing a stock Z3 rom on my Z2 and it could boot, but the touchscreen was working very strange, so I think we should just change specific parts of the rom to get it workin. I would do it if I can, but I haven't got any experience in porting roms. If someone tells me what parts have to be changed to get it workin, I will do it

Did you try some porting tutorials in net?

+1 from me. Even I am looking for same. Hope somebody will take this project.
Thank you

You need a flashable zip contain z2's boot.img in there

The Z2 can boot up fine with a Z3 rom (I tried it), but the problem is that the touchscreen doesn't work properly. It acts like a touchpad or something, or didn't even responding. Changing the boot.img will fix it?

So basically, replace the z2 kernel into z3 rom and it will probably work.
that's how z3 devlopers port z2 rom

How did you flash the Z3 concept rom to Z2? Did you flash by flashtool? What did you exclude? I tried to flash but it gave me error at rpm.sin and I didn't exclude anything.
Sorry for my bad English.

I didn't try to flash the marshmallow concept, but the other Z3 roms worked by simply flashing them with flashtool, and didn't exclude anything
