There will be no stock Sony MM for TabZ. CM13 and other MM based custom roms are expected in 2016.

I don't expect alot from sony to support tablet from 2013.
I need to fix his screen and charging dock and power button :\
I'm asking if it's convenient for me to fix him, its very expensive.. (Around 300$-350$)

You can search on ebay or aliexpress for components and replace them yourself, it's not that difficult + there are plenty of manuals on youtube.

Let's get Devs Sony Z Ultra GPE.

Please join me in this great cause for further development of of our beloved BEAST! Everyone knows there's a need for better development for this overlooked and underrated device.
DooMLoRD, as you know, is a senior member and one of THE TOP XPERIA Developers so wouldn't it be a great idea since the Sony Xperia Ultra GPe Edition has been discounted by $200 to get ONE in his hands? Since the price is $449.00 let's all get together to chip in and send him one.
He's halfway there and I'll donate the fastest shipping possible to get it to him if we achieve the remaining $250 or so (there should be taxes added to the total) just so we could have his Kernels, Mods, Fixes or whatever!
Everyone knows how hard it is to develop for a device you don't even have in your hands. But DooMLoRD does this time and again - I know this for a fact. Let's give him what he needs for the good of ALL of us who use these forums.
Won't you join in this effort to help this great well known developer who is also a WONDERFUL GUY - let's get this device in his hands as fast as possible! Take a moment and just read through some of these posts and you'll see he's presenting incredible work without thus device in his hands. How cool of him to do that!
So the goal is $250 in addition to the taxes. Anyone can P.M. me with any thoughts, suggestions, questions, or even complaints for that matter. You can contact DooMLoRD or go to his XDA page to find out how to donate to him.
Update:
LordManhattan your point is well taken as I'm sure you know better than I. But by having the Xperia Z Ultra or the Z Ultra GPe he can still help us all one way or another. I think that's already been proven.
Just sayin'...
Could a Mod please move this to the Sony Xperia Z Ultra Development Forum. I'm sorry I made a boo boo!
Beamed from my Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Thread Moved from Development to general
I agree. I don't have the GPe version, but I've waited for a GPe+Sony compatibility for ages. Why isn't it happening?! The GPe Ultra got released back in December (?) and it's still completely dead.
Sure, the Ultra is a niche device and the Ultra GPe is even more niche, so that's understandable, but we have some great devs around here including some promising kernel devs too, so I guess those two together could solve it? Or? That's the only barrier left around here. Do you guys know what the Galaxy S4 (bootloader) bounty is? It's over $4,000! Do you know how high the ROOT bounty, yes ROOT bounty for the S5 is? Over $10,000! Moto X? $1200.
We are ****ing lucky if I dare say. OP, I understand what you're trying to do and we do have a lot of custom ROMs around here, but people with the Xperia version are pretty happy right now, BUT our last venture is the GPe. If we can get a Sony ROM over to an Xperia phone, then we'll be done. We'll actually be done, while other people on Samsung and what not will be crying.
Point: We're incredible lucky. We'll want Android 4.5/5 in june/july (after I/O). What do we do when the time comes? Wait a couple of weeks. We'll get the GPe version to back us up! All we need is one single dev that knows his **** and completes it.

At OP: At the moment we can easily port @DooMLoRD's work but it would be nice for him to support our device
@LordManhattan If the script I have just been working on works for Custom ROMs I dont think it will be too much to get custom Sony ROMs working on the GPe

Flashing a FTF seems to brick the GPe. If I remember right they has slightly different partition layout or was it bootloader?

Dat be tru
if you flash a non _gpe ROM to the GPe some users have reported that it wont boot, doing it the other way around, the only way I can test, it will boot but baseband is missing. The GPe seems to chuck *everything* into /system/etc/firmware/ where the ZU doesn't. The GPe also includes the same blobs as the ZU as well.
I have a update.zip that should get the radio working if a GPe user wants to test it out (see separate thread if you do). If it doesn't want to boot then it will need a little more work...

all new sony handset variant need different basebands..
just create a update.zip with all the files from /system/etc/firmware from original ZU GPe KitKat and flash it over the ZU Sony firmware system
device will easily boot

that is what I've done, just no GPe owners have piped up yet that they want to test it. I was hoping that the same method would work for stock Sony as well. Just create a zip like I have done in the past and include the firmware dir from the GPe dump.

ALL Questions Should Finally Be Put To Rest
For the record, as many of you now know, DooMLoRD is THE Lord for a damn good reason. Check out his Xperia Download page (http://doomlord.xperia-files.com) and see for yourselves he's already proven just how capable of a developer he already is. Plus since Sony has matched Google' pricing either device could easily be in his hands by the end of this month. C'mon people we've all used his work at some point since the X10 and he clearly stated he'd ..."be interested I'm developing for either of these devices!.
How hard could it be to muster up another 14 members (minimum) to donate at least $20? In the end we'd be GUARANTEED a Bona fide Z Ultra Developer who would instantly improve development for our devices. Something that has been lacking since it's release.
Thank you ADFURGERSON for stepping up to the plate and donating!
I pledge 20 minimum more if needed Ieft note 3 for this device I crave development!!

Bump 4 my Bro DooMLoRD!

Suggest me a rom.

I am really loving the active forum here, but looking forward to go for a custom rom which is based on stock, has good looks(not the dark themes) and some mods on it. I am on 108 with un locked bl and rooted too.
Let me know!
did you backup your TA-Partition bevore unlocking? Just asking because you want to charge the Device whith 1/4 more power than Sony recommends to you.
If not it`s too late. Anyways the best Rom for Z Ultra is Cyanogenmod for me (but it depends on the user which Rom he likes the most) .

Carbon
But I'm biased as I'm building it.
Slim and LiquidSmooth are both nice, and Candy looks to be getting good feed back - it all depends on what you want out of a ROM
Re reading your post do you mean something like Monx or @iBuzman's one?
Yeah.. modded from stock roms are nice, Sony doesn't really have bloatware like Samsung anyway
i've switched over from Stock 4.3 to GPe 4.4.3 and now running on CandyRom 4.4.4
... and i must say, CandyRom is very nice

Pretty good and fast, but for a screen this size, the DPI for gpe is a waste of space. Changed DPI and was better, but it's just basic Google ROM, so quite...bleh Lol
Everything is enhanced with xposed modules
Tapa-ed from the Sony Z Ultra

Dude edit your post. The 2nd link is an outdated version of the rom. I uploaded the 108 version right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/exr-freedom-zu-108-support-bank-t2814271
It is the same rom I use and the sound quality is amazing The rom is for people who wants Z2 tweaks with sound quality tweaks.

[Q] AOSP?

So over at xperiablog, it said the Z2 AOSP had been released by Sony. Does that mean it will work for the Z2 Tablet as well?

Reading, it seems the aosp is for phones only, and not tablets, with the exception of the unified kernel across several platforms.
Dang, well we're closer it seems. Thanks.

Well, I'm not a professional on Sony, but it seems they are trying to get rid of the version fragmentation and go for one unified build for all devices. This is probably evident in some of the recent cross platform mods we have going on. One mod for all devices (4.4.x)

No SLIMX/SLIMROM for E5283?

I'm curious as to why no SLIMROM ROM has been made for the E5823 considering the Z5 has one and I though both phones were very very similiar?
I've look around loads and can't see any evidence of such a ROM out there but SLIMROM's are so nice and light I wish the Z5c could get one made

I agree, that would be great :victory:
That is an easy answer...no devs with z5c no roms.
Ask dev if they can make one for us. Also that would be great if you volunteer to test it.
Maker of MWA doesnt have z5c, i think he was able to port rom quite "easily"
I really miss a slim version for our z5c.
Can I try this ROM with Z5C and not destroy my phone? I'm struggling with battery drainage and see this mod promising.

When will we see custom development?

Hey guys,
since I don't know how well or quickly the Xiaomi community is working, I was wondering when you think we will see the first custom ROMs and Kernels.
Especially an OC Kernel, I could imagine, would improve the experience on this phone alot.
Thanks!
It will take long time cause of accessibility problems. Very long.
Probably never.
Ah surely
Without jokes, there Will be custom developement in mid future?
No. Not before mid 2020
I think currently it's overpriced for sd730g, may be worth for that camera!
If they price it lower than k20 pro ... Hit!

You can install any keyboard. I love GBoard, but you can use SwiftKey or whatever you want.
Just search for "Keyboard" in Play Store. If you want something very "raw", look for keyboards in F-Droid.
I spoke with some of the developers of custom roms and no one is interested in developing for this phone.
It really seems like there won't be any custom rom/kernel anytime soon and probably, maybe, never.
We will ahvr to stick to the stock rom.
Anyone interested in starting a reward campaign here?
First fully functioning custom rom gets the cash bounty
I'm putting in $10
Is that a feature? I would defo be willing to throw in some money!

Thanks for your information sir, could i ask why they are not interested in developing for this phone? Personally i think is a pretty interesting hardware
As MoneyFist, I also would donate for a good featured custom ROM ?
I don't understand why there are people saying we will not get custom roms. I think, the main reason for now, is that we have no sources, or I least I can't find them. Once we have sources, devs will be able for, at least, compile something
Sources have been released a while ago. I think once the phone will be widely available in India, we will see devs creating stuff...hopefully.
