Hello, I have such a problem, namely my Phone laggs Even when I am writting my nypon goes retard :S My smartphone is running stock JB... Could somebody advise me, what rom is the best? Is it worth to downgrade my firmware to ICS or GB? Indeed Xperia P isn't a hight end phone, but i suppose it should be way smoother...
Thanks in advance!

Which stock JB version you have?
No one can advise you what is the best, it's subjective, you decide what is best.
ICS was ok but I like the JB interface and features more.
How exactly you phone goes retard?
I've tried a few ROMs and finaly went back to stock with a few moded apps like phone and dialer (much easier for mea to read white on black) a script to save power and Greenify to control missbehaved apps and I am happy with it.
I have a question, can anybody please help me! which one eats less battery? Xperia Z Ultra stock ROM or Cyanogenmod Togari stable? Xperia z ultra is such a nice big phone but the only problem is its battery backup!
It uses the same amount of battery when used..but in deep sleep stock rom or sony based is just a tiny bit more easy on the battery.
The only thing I have problem with is the camera. Sometimes it can be a bit jerky...saying "can not connect to camera" and then I need to reboot
Hi everyone
i'm thinking about switching from stock to CM or PA and i wanted to know about it from people who flashed it, how did you find it (battery life, performance, bugs,.......)
Thank you
Just check the respective threads, all are excellent and a huge improvement over stock, couple it with the m5 kernel and it's sweet
Only thing that's not as good but dam close is the camera

I know that it's best to try them myself but I really don't have time to test all.. I'm wondering which cm based rom has great performance with comparable battery life to stock. I think stock Roms are a bit too laggy with quite a lot of microstutters. And it hangs time to time as well. Cm Roms I tried a while ago are Bliss pop and Resurrection but they both have too short battery lives. But I loved that they were so smooth.
Any recommendation?
Thanks a bunch!
crDroid , smooth with very good battery life

Thanks! Did you do any modification like xposed tweak to make the battery good or greenify or it is just good out of the box? I'm going to try the rom probably today but want to know what setup you have.

Its really good for a cm based ROM. I also used greenish standard version. Mother than crDroid i strongly encourage you to try hybridROM. Its not CM based but it rocks.

Is that smooth and have long battery life too? My main concern is standby time as I'm a light user. Also I really want a smooth rom cause I got spoiled by ios.. Lol cause I go back and forth between iPhone and Xperia ZU. thanks so much for helping.

Very smooth , I think smoother than any CM based that I have tried and i have tried almost every ROM lol.
Another option is ZHyperROM. Its stock based and heavily debloated so its light , ultra smooth and with amazing battery life. You can also flash zombie kernel in it which is amazing and you will be OK. Thats my current setup in my Ultra and i am completely satisfied. So i think you should try these 3 options and find the most appropriate for you.

Ah. okay I actually tried ZHyperROM and it was not bad, but once I installed Zombie kernel, i saw a lot of micro stutters, so I don't know what happened there. Maybe I changed the kernel setting wrong, but I couldn't know which. So I tried XistenZ which is what I'm running, and it's smoother than ZHyperROM + Zombie, but it still lags time to time. I keep seeing random stutter when unlocking the phone with animation, and other lags too.
But I remember a while ago that when I tried BlissPop and Resurrection, it was crazy smooth, and I guessed because it's cm based, so I liked the speed, but the standby battery time was terrible. So I asked originally is there cm based rom that has good battery life.
I will try crDroid of HybridAOSP (this you mean the Z3 port, right). Hopefully I find the rom that is for me.
I advise you to change the three options regarding animations in the developer options from 1x to 0.5x. Try it in your current setup.
1x gives stuttering at least for me and many ROMS (particularly the stock based have 1x by default.

I tried that but i felt that it was still not as smooth as I would like, so I took the jump and installed Hybrid rom (Z3 port) and it seems pretty good! Also in this rom I changed to 0.5x for all three, and it's really nice. It seems like apps load quicker in this rom than stock roms I tried in the past few days, not just animations. I haven't tested battery life though, but hopefully it lives up to expectation!
Thanks for your help.

Me too.
You use 5.0.2 or 5.1.1
Since you are trying all types of ROMs, try GPE port by scrubber. I got 5 and a half hour screen on time. With auto sync and data turned on all the time. Now I'm on Xperium 5.1.1. I always had stuttering on CM based ROMS. I'm surprised to see you say that it's very smooth. Can you try Resurrection remix and bliss pop and let me know how the performance is. Play some games like subway surfer and see if you have any frame drops.

I used to try all types of Roms but now it's school term and I can't test Roms much. I did try scrubber and it's battery life was pretty good but standby wasn't as good as stock with stamina. Maybe cause I didn't bother with greenify, power nap, etc.
Bliss pop and Resurrection were super smooth and fast for me in terms of UI animations. And they were just always responsive. I don't play games, so maybe that's a different story? Hmm.. But yea battery life was terrible even with greenify power nap and amplify.

BTW, just to update, I'm on Hybrid Rom as I said, and after setting up Greenify and PowerNap (after installing Xposed), the standby time is outstanding. When I check the battery usage graph, the standby time shows literally flat horizontal line.
Performance is definitely better than stock based roms. Stock based roms had occasional lock screen animation lag after waking up from sleep (even 3rd party lock screen apps), and the phone was hanging time to time with more stutters. This Hybrid Rom does also have a bit of stutters here and there, but it's so much better with no hanging or freezing yet.
Hi guys. I am using Z Ultra for 5 years and i want to install custom rom. Yes i know that there is so much roms and most of them are old but i want to use something stable and i want the phone to be a little more snappy because sometimes is a bit sluggish. Good battery life is a must too. I am using mainly Chrome, FB messenger lite, Gmail and a couple of games (Titan Uprising and Asphalt 9). My phone battery life is somewhere around 5 to 6 hours of screen time (sometimes 7 hours if im more carefull). So i did a little research and i have selected those custom roms:
1. HybridRom Concept EditioN - stock based rom and i can use Sony goddies. Also support UB and LB but i think UB + custom kernel is the best option.
2. LineageOS 12.1 - current security patches. How is battery life?
3. ResurrectionRemix 5.8.3 - possible problem with touch but i can use the fix.
4. RXSW Z5 Experience [v14.00]
5. Nimadroid Rom
6. Other suggestions?
I need stable rom with minimal bugs because i am using my phone a lot.
Thanks in advance!
Ive used nimadroid rom, he is my frined actually, its very good, fast and no lag, but battery is a littel drain than stock
Screen mirror and hdmi over usb ?

Thank you for tips, do you know if screen mirror and hdmi over usb works reliably in nimandroid and not by occassion as in sony rom ?
Me too - I need a new update for my Sony ultra z. But I worry I'm not able to use banks app with custom rom as some banking apps and e wallet apps are really picky once it knows the phone has been rooted.
My gps navigation is very sluggish to start too - every time I go to a new place I had to stop on the roadside as gps signal either lost or not connected.
Count me in as well. I've got two kids and we give our old phones to our kids after updating them You are not alone
I've tried https://www.getdroidtips.com/custom-rom-sony-xperia-z-ultra/ Android 9 Pie, but i don't seem to get touch working
I seem to need a different kernel to get this to work. Anybody got Android 9 Pie working with touch working? Any tips to share? Thanks in advance
