A question about ROM development - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why nobody be willing to work on Cm 13 for z2 ? I mean cyanogenmod is the best custom ROM, there's no denying that, plus ... a lot phones already running cm13, xperia z, z1,z3 so why not z2? cyanogenmod is known for being stable, so can any z2 developer out there work on cyanogenmod 13 ? Aosp is very buggy and if u fix a bug, two more bugs will be added to the bug list, it'll never become stable ... & yes I know someone named Heisenberg or whatever made an unofficial cm13 ROM, but he didn't work on it, he just complied it.
So if you are a developer please work on it, cheers.

Are you using the nighties? According to the wiki which could be out of date, only the 4k doesn't work. You could help the development by submitting some bugs etc..

To say that AOSP will never become stable is very incorrect.
In the beginning of CM11, CM12 and CM12.1 they were filled with bugs and general instability, however as time passed they became progressively more stable.
CM12.1 is currently just as stable as stock, if not even more so than stock.
I know I'm talking about CM, but the same thing applies for AOSP.
These things take time, and everyone on here has a life of their own. It's just a hobby, something done in their spare time.
There is no need to use CM13 right now. Stock Sony 6.0.1 works just fine, so use it until things become more stable, and working.

Probably but look at the aosp builds, not even aosp 5.x is stable nor near being stable

[Q] CM 10.1 official for i717 or not?

Supposedly 10.1 went 'official' for all devices that had a stable build, of which I thought we were one - but if you go to download it from the website, and do all the filters (samsung, phablet, cm 10.1), we don't get listed - you have to go back to CM 10.
What's the scoop? I'm really getting fed up with the absolutely stupid amount of lag (even after disabling and ripping out a ton of unnecessary apps), and am seriously considering moving over to CM - but since it's not listed as official/stable I'm a bit gunshy of suddenly going to buggy/reboot laden use rather than just slow/frustrating.

You are really exaggerating any flaws. Is your comment based on actual use? I went through most of the 10.1 roms and had little to no problems.
And the stock rom with bloated apps frozen is as smooth as I could hope for.
I don't think any rom will meet your standards . . . just sayin'

I don't know if I'm exaggerating the CM 10.1 issues - that's why I'm asking, are we on a stable build yet or not? As for stock/carrier ROM performance, I wouldn't call 5 seconds to unlock the screen into an SMS notification being frustrating and slow an exaggeration by any means - but outside of the rare app FC I agree that it runs pretty well otherwise and is why I've been content to run on it since it came out.
I'm a pretty easy pleaser as long as things function consistently and reliably. So as long as the crash/reboot issues for CM 10.1 are truly flukes, I'd be willing to give it a try. Does the i717 have a stable CM 10.1 build?

I had the same question about the stability of the CM10.1 stable, and made a post. Some people gave some feedback.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340057
I am using CM10.1 stable on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and it works beautifully. But, I am not so sure about i717.
the msm8660 family *quincyatt/quincytmo/skyrocket/hercules* all have "stable" named builds from cm, though we dont actually have a "stable" 4.2.2 build
there is also another rom elsewhere that posts as "stable"
but until we get Bluetooth and Reboots fixed we dont actually have a true stable 4.2.2 build, some of us are lucky and avoid reboots and dont use bluetooth so we get "kinda a stable" build but in reality until those 2 main issues are fixed no one should be saying the word stable
but after all that said, if you set your phone up properly and dont bloat it with crap you should have a better experience then touchwiz
im not promoting my stuff over others but give uxylon+uber kernel combo a try. i havent had a reboot since june, but i dont use bluetooth so that issue doesnt effect me
*one of the keys to killing a lot of reboots on cm10.1/aosp is to turn off CRT
Looks like there's a new quincyatt stable release as of yesterday 7/10/13 for CM 10.1 - well, here goes nothing! :]

My choose would be Blekotas S5 Rom
Instead i suggest Imperium KitKat
The best thing? Try them both and choose yourself
base on archiport you can try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/rom-ultimarom-v16-0-typhoon-t1911572
i use qs kk since couple of weeks, never have a reboot or problems, just wps isnt actually working, i think is the most stable stock porting,
I recommend qs rom with boeffla kernel 6.1 beta 3. I'm using for a few days and no fc or reboots. Also very stable and fast
My opinion Omni rom 4.4.4 Rom is one of the fastest rom i've ever seen,and i've never noticed even one unstability issue(only in an update that it has now been fixed).
This is a good choice if you like pure android and pure speed
Also give a try to enable art runtime at developer settings,it makes phone uses less memory and less battery (and battery life is extremely well)
For stock samsung TW rom, all of the roms are currently unstable builds

This is a very open ended question. What maybe stable for one will not be for another. All you will archive is a topic full of people saying "x" one is better. (Which is already happening).
Best thing to do is read up on all roms you are interested and try them out for yourself and your setup. With titanium backup its not hard these days.
As an example I use temasek unofficial cm11. I have never had an issue with it and its always worked perfectly but if you were to search the forums about cm issues you would find 100's of topics about camera issues etc.

Take a picture / record a video with cm11 and with stock sammy camera.
Try to focus video on cm, manually, and try to get good, non-grainy pictures on cm, you can not do that as good as on stock sammy camera.
I tested many many roms based on cm, and none of them got a good (for me) image.
P.S. i'm a heavy snapper, for other who take few pictures it'll do good.
Please can someone get me the quaraqumus QS-i9300-KK-v2.6 resumable link
Don't try Archiport, it works slow. i prefer QS port, so try every rom based on QS . I use clean with some addons from Bloatware.

For me the most stable and functional CM ROM is the 'CM13 LeMaX 2 TeaMSpaiN RevolutioN' ROM. I've been using it since Xmas day with zero issues so far. There's also the 'Unofficial LineageOS' (CM14.1) ROM in mid development. I'm just about to try it. According to the OP everything works except for IR and the camera. No camera is a big problem, so I'm on the TeaMSpaiN ROM until they (hopefully) sort it. There's the 'CM13 MaX2 S19 UmBreLLaTeaM SpaiNTeaM' ROM. Slow motion issues and no IR. There was also one other CM13 I saw in the ROMS section. It was unnamed. I never checked it out.
The TeaMSpaiN RevolutioN ROM is likely the best atm. It benched just over 144k in AnTuTu, and it's stable. Not one FC for me so far. I haven't got into Xposed with it yet or tried tons of apps, so I'm sure there's some bugs. For general use though, I see no point switching unless they get the camera working in the 7.1.1 build. Hope that helps.

Just to let you know, the LinageOS build did not work for me last night. It sounds like you're comfortable flashing, so it shouldn't be a problem for you, but just a heads up in case it's your daily use device and you need it to work. It looks like cr3p is actively working on it though, so I do hope to see it become a solid platform.

I was a user of official mokee ROM from ffboy, the development now is stopped, it has a bug that is a no go for me, when Bluetooth is enabled the wifi stop working. I prefer a build with precompiled kernel from Teamspain or Umbrella, they are more stable.
That bug was there from the start, but it's true there is no development for our device

When I posted this I had done a full wipe of data and cache and flashed the LineageOS Unofficial clean. The result was about 2 minutes of boot screen followed by a solid black screen. When pressing buttons I could get a "Setup Wizard isn't responding", with options to wait or close. Either option resulted in black screen. I left the phone on during the day today, and several hours later I checked it and got the setup screen! I finished setup and it is now working. :good:

Mokee is it's own OS. Not CM. If you're talking about the best ROM out there, I have no idea. I'm not completely new here (I try and search for answers, so almost never post), but I haven't been here for ages. Especially here in the Le Max 2 forum. I didn't hate EUI. There were a couple of things I liked, but CM13, stable and benching over 144k. I'll take it. For now anyway. There's a fair bit of fighting in the 7.1.1 ROM thread, so who knows if they'll work it out. They owe us nothing though, so we wait.
The question was "what is the best CM based rom?"
Mokee is CM based. Nevermind, I'll head to the lineage thread to see the fighting going on there ?
Edit: no fighting, very peaceful out there ?

My bad. Yeah it did seem to settle down. ffboy left officially so there wasn't really any point going on. A little back some guy claimed to have, as one member put it - 'the cure for cancer, but couldn't tell us until he'd spoken to his priest'.... heh. Something about him or a friend working with Qualcomm processors, but signed an NDA. Sounded a bit off. Who knows. I'm using Dual Boot Patcher to see what's out there. Great tool. Can try (edit) LineageOS, and quick switch to CM13 if I need the camera (unless it's a fast UFO sighting). Or whatever ROM you like. The only limit is storage.
Yup, ffboy was a very capable dev. He was able to port CM, MIUI and H2OS in very short time and was working on cm14 aswell.. well, let's wait and see

Cool. I'll have to get in to Xposed. The fingerprint feels like a memory thing to me. If you leave the phone for a while the first reads is slow, but straight after it's fast. Like the print images aren't cached. Doesn't bother me. It is a minus, but some reviewers are so spoilt for choice they make it a bigger deal than it is.
I'm am running the latest Mokee release 08-01-2017 with no issues on the FP and with only 1 print registered.

I still haven't tried the Mokee ROM. Something about a bot updating it worries me . If you think it's good, no harm in trying.
Edit : The FP speed in TS13 is confusing. Kinda random. Just used it now to start installing Mokee and it's near instant. Hadn't used the phone for hours. Go figure. The only constant is that it's always quicker after the first time.

Maybe thats because your system language is set to english? I read somewhere if you switch to english ( I have absolutely no idea why) it would work better. I tried, deleted all FP then switched to english, registered new FP and switched back to my language and it "seems faster".
Lost track of that ir patch (install via recovery) though.
Just tried Mokee. Don't really see anything special compared to CM, and multiple benchmarks put it a little under the revolution ROM. Also, it wont even pick up 3G on one of my sims, let alone LTE. Anyone know what the differentiator is between ROMS? I don't really like EUI, but it instantly finds LTE. The revolution ROM is kinda stubborn. It see's the 4G provider, but fails to register if I try immediately. I've worked out if I just wait a few minutes before choosing it registration works. The Lineage ROM picks up LTE fine like EUI.
Side note, for those who wanna try out dual/multiple OS. Turns out ROMS don't run slow on the other slots using Dual Boot Patcher. I had one of the bugged (slow) Lineage releases. I have 4 other ROMS installed atm. All work as expected and run at full speed. It's awesome and easy. Patch, flash, setup ROM. Then to switch, use the app or the DualBootUtilities zip within recovery. Reboot, different OS. No more 'which one do I pick?'.

lineage 16 official

I see los 16 has gone live for a few devices. Oddly enough the station klte has gotten it. I installed it on one of my s5s last night and just updated to the latest nightly. It runs excellent. But I wonder why the 6p wasn't included in this first round. Or the pixel XL. I know there are pie roms for the 6p I see them here but I also see the unoffical lineage 16 for the 6p hasn't had any progress at all thread is dead in the water. I hope that doesn't mean the 6p is being left out.
If it is can anyone tell me which one of the pie roms on xda are the most stable. The 6p is my wife's phone and she doesn't know how to deal with random issues. Los 15.1 was great for this phone I was hopping 16 would be too.
Keep it on Oreo for now. I have tried couple of Pie ROMs and they run pretty slow
Pretty sure there'll be official LOS16 for our devices. So waiting....
We just have to wait for a dev to pick it up and get it to spec for them to host it as official. I hope someone picks up the mantle as my Nexus 6P is still going strong and LineageOS 15.1 has been the best things to happen to it since I changed the battery.

Camera doesn't work properly (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't);

I can't really comment on those builds because im too lazy to wipe my entire phone to go to fbe, but aicp has been working great for me. Sure the battery life is worse than 8.1 which is to be expected, but I haven't thought it was too bad.
The aicp guys have done a bunch of kernel work, sadly their newest build doesn't have the most up-to-date kernel, but I ran it for a few days, and the kernel still runs well. But I feel like the next build after the 3-5 one will be even better, since they remembered to push the kernel work back in.
The only ROM I've had huge battery issues with was aosip because for some reason the small portion of the kernel has its min freq set to 1200 instead of 380 or whatever the norm is, and setting the min lower doesn't stick well.
One way I got around this was using one of the savageone's custom kernels. He put out two test kernels that have both ran well for me based off of the common used fbe source staticx, and fde which wsd based off neo's source. Both kernels run about the same for me and work on either encryption type.

It's definitely work in progress. I see a topic "angler-p" on LineageOS gerrit. So people are working on it.

He isn't doing official builds. So why would they be called official?

Well as far as i'm concerned is it official or not, i don't really care, as long as it's good. He did say in one of his first post when he gave his first build something along the lines of this is a peek of the feature set of los 16 as it is official / feature complete. So does it make it official or not i do not know.

The los devs are very strict with how they run official builds, originally he had added the lock screen deals that would make it non official, since they have merged it, that would cover that, but he also messes with the kernels fstab thus making it non eligible.
I don't know all of the specifics of being a maintainer for them, but there are guidelines for the hals and blobs and **** they have to use as well.

Keep it on Oreo for now. I have tried couple of Pie ROMs and they run pretty slow

agreeeed. Pie roms don't work well on the Nexus 6P. Oreo was the last stable operating system for the Nexus 6P, so of course pie roms won't work as well, and i've tried a lot of them.
To name a few: Pixel Experience, DotOS 3.0, StatixOS, AOSiP Pie Beta,[ Pie - 9.0.0_r37] AOSP , Ressurection Remix, AICP all these i've tried they all have this lagginess about them and they're not as snappy as the roms on Oreo ot stock Oreo for that matter.
And the brightness sucks on pie too.
I'm currently running LineageOS 15.1 runs like a dream on my Nexus 6P.
Not to take anything away from the developers of pie roms though, they're all doing fantastic jobs to keep our Nexus 6P's alive

Question Recommended Custom Rom

So im looking into getting a custom rom installed on my ZF9 now that they have finally begun development, but im really unsure of which i should uses. Omnirom seems to be the one with most interactions, Blissrom seems like a nice rom but its fairly new and bugs are probably everywhere. Topaz seems like a little in between, a fair amount of interaction but still under omnirom.
Im not after the one with most features, just best battery life and stability.
Which one of them would you recommend? Currenty running magisk with stock .113 FW with Kirisakura kernel.

Hi,
No offense here but without even trying any of the custom roms u mentioned in your list how are you even judging that these roms have bugs and that rom is between ?

Cause Ive gone through all of the roms topics on here. Omniroms comments arent as bug focused as like Paranoids, more like how to install it. Blissrom is fairly new and got like no comments at all. And i know, Roms can be bug free, but these Roms have been out for like a month or two now, so can they really be bug free after 2 months development?
I just wanted the opinions of someone thats used one of them.
I no longer have the ZF9, but when I did I tried OmniROM and AOSPA Topaz Beta. I preferred the smoothness of Topaz over OmniROM by far. However, that was many months ago and OmniROM may have been improved since then.
The battery on Topaz was also slightly improved over stock, if that matters to you!

Battery performance matters a lot to me, might try Topaz first, and then maybe omnirom.
The only issue i have so far is that bluetooth EATS the battery. Checking the battery usage graph doesnt show anything out of the ordinary, bluetooth uses like 2% after 3h etc.
However i always have like 15% left after a whole day (8h) with bluetooth on, and thats with 10h since last fully charged along side 2-3h of SoT. Without bluetooth i can EASILY get over a day on standby with 6h+ of SoT.
Im hoping the issue im having is software related since other people have reported it too.
@DankDeuxez, have you tried both of them? What is your opinion?

Ive not tried one yet because of other things. Although since you asked i might as well go ahead and try and flash omnirom tonight. Omnirom seems like the most polished rom so far.

UPDATE: Ok, so i tried almost all of the available roms yesterday, but it seems like none of them worked on my phone. Topaz wouldnt even install. Got the recovery installed perfectly fine, but whenever i tried to install the rom, it just wouldnt work, stating it was missing certain files etc.
Omnirom also wouldnt work. I managed to install TWRP after a few tries with random things going wrong such as not being able to show up on the computer, random decryption etc. BUT even if i got TWRP to work in the end, Omnirom would still just fail upon installation and trying to boot the phone just froze on the ASUS logo.
But since i got TWRP to work as intended i just installed the stock rom in the end. Everything is back to normal and im not sure when or even IF im going to try a custom rom again.
