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?
Author CyanogenMod for M4 write to me if he do stable CM,he start port miui.Good news!

hi,
my first post in the go/sola/p/u forum. i really like the idea of a clean version of android without bloatware and the proprietary ui of the device manufacturers. so i was wondering if there is any rom based on cm10 or cm9 currently in the works for our devices?

waiting eagerly for a release. stock androids give the best user experience imo
So i successfully rooted my phone using odin and cwm recovery. i am on stock rom 4.1.2.
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.

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.

Thank soooo much, I've really appreciated
To be honest I like my new Z2, expecially thinking that I've sold my used Nexus 5 for 290€ and bought this Z2 (+hearphones and original leather case) for 300€
But for sure I need to well understand how it works and how to manage it, on Nexus series everything where easier
Well, again thanks dude

I'm sorry, i really don't mean to be rude but whats the point of this post? if you are looking for available roms for the M4 just look on the "Android Development" section.... if we are going to create a post asking for every rom available, the M4 aqua forum will become a mess, please try to avoid useless posts like this one and http://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/help/im-sad-t3342116 (what da hell???).
This forum is ours, lets not make it hard for ourselves.
Hi all,
So im still running the "official" Z2 CM12.1 nightlies with no other kernels/mods.
I like CM12.1 as it's easy to load, has the privacy options, is quick and just works.
It would be nice to just move to CM13, but of course it doesn't really exist for the Z2.
So.... can anyone recommend a Marshmallow ROM that i should move on to?
I'm not after any bleeding edge features, or a ROM loaded with 3rd party stuffs.
Just something with the simple speed/battery optimisations, working cameras, etc would be great.
Thanks in advance!
existenz mm
existenx is the only rom that really works fine, i have try almost all AOSP based roms and no one has work correctly so i decide to stay existenx
You could take a look to the upcoming Google Style MM ROM. It will be very close and similar to AOSP.
