Which Rom Do You use For your Z2? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I want to know which Rom is the most popular Rom For Z2 and which of them Do you use for daily usage ?
1. existenz V5.1 Final MM
2. existenz V7 Lolipop
3. Mx Rom V8.6
4. Sony Stock
5. Aosp MM
6. Cm
7. other

I'm running on Mx Rom V8.6 for the daily usage, the ROM is very stable and fluid smooth. ExistenZ is best for fast update and lot features, but I'm feeling it became bit laggy overtime in long run.
Both are great ROMs and great developers, very grateful to have them in Z2 development. Been using custom ROM since Kit Kat on day one Z2 launched in my country.

I'm running Google Style ROM.
I've tried other ROMs as well, but I keep returning to this one. It's just perfect. Slim and AOSP-ish, while still maintaining Sony apps and features. Removing them further slims it down.
Toss in a couple of xposed modules like : N-ify, GravityBox, Lolistat and flash PexoCAM 8.5 and install LSpeed app to make it the best rom ever.
I've faced zero issues and I've been using it for months.

eXistenZ MM Rom.
I have used @niaboc79 eXZ rom since the original Z, and his rom is far beyond amazing. Although he is now retired but I just dont want to switch away from this brilliant man's work.

Its not hard
You must first to know what is root,recovery,ftf firmvare,flashtool,custom firmvare.
Try to search on forum how to root Z2 and install custom rom.
BTW,I use latest stock MM,with some mofifications of Xperia X Ui.

+1, It's a very beautiful rom. I stopped using it because there is no link update in xda.

Stock rom for daily use (23.5.A.1.291)

I'm using GoogleStyle ROM. In my opinion is the best rom in performance, battery life and multitasking. ExistenZ is very good for his personalization but have bad multitask.
Send from my D6503 with LB.

Switched from ExistenZ 5.1 Final to MX recently. Both are good but not perfect, each has some issues. Most stable and smoothest custom Z2 ROM ever posted in XDA in my opinion was Lollipop ROMs by Rajeev.

I'm on existenz lollipop final, I missed so much Real stamina mode that I step back from marschmallow Roma.

Z2 stock
Until i get another phone my z2 is stock on 23.5.A.1.291
As my everyday phone i dont want to kill it. For trails i have a Xperia Z with 10.7.A.0.228
If i unlock the boot loader, which is allowed, it never boots at all. Thanks to Flashtool i have always been able to recover. I cannot root without using KingoRoot.apk but that does not allow the correct version of SU to be installed. Tried Darkslide SuperSume to remove the crap that KingoRoot leaves but that ultimately fails because of the locked boot loader and i've already explained what happens if i try.
These issues make me reluctant to play with the Z2.

That depends on usage, so no, we can't tell you that.

It's stable for everything for me, except the camera. The camera was working fine so I guess I'll get it working again (we'll the dev's at CM will). there have also been a few users that have had issues with GPS but I never have.
Camera/GPS/etc will most likly be in all Custom ROMs that use the CM1 device tree
thanks

GPE 4.4.4 port for non-gpe is a good choice for battery saving.
Currently I am on CM 11 with greatdev kernel so far so good as the customization is minimal compared to other CM/AOKP based roms but stable.
AOKP missing navigation bar in landscape with lower dpi so i'm staying away from it.
GPE 5.0 port for non-gpe is great too if you want the latest android and doesn't depend on xposed framework.
StoneUI .118 HD3 if you want Sony feel with a whole bunch of unused apps removed.

Lol, I wish I could agree. Despite re-flashing and even formatting, wiping cache and dalvic, I'm getting 2 hours on screen time for my battery.
Even when not using the phone my battery drains like crazy, around 15-20% over an 8 hour period...
That said I can only hope Android 5.1 fixes the horrible battery drain issue.

Imho that combination is the best too. Using it since August
I'm also in the process of finding a good all-round ROM.
Yesterday I installed PureX Z2 Mm v1 by Rajeev. It will take a few days to determine battery life but I'm initially very impressed - it's fast and fluid, with a lot of XZ additions.
One thing to note: although not specified in the Installation Instructions I also had to install the Z2-6.0.1_575_bootloop_fix

Install Pure X v1 MM by Rajeev and enjoy in every feature in your phone.
You can maybe install Pexocam 8.5 for camera,but I tested all that camera mods and best results get with stock camera capatibillity.

Which one is the best.?
both are on Nougat
.69 has better battery life
.252 has better UI but poor batterylife!
Use Oreo, lol.
Try either eXistenZ, which is the best ROM out there, or use XGEN + FSC.

correction: ExistenZ is not rom, its basically a MOD to be flashed via TWRP over your STOCKROM
yes XGEN can be said ROM since everything comes out from ONE box

It's just a habit of calling eXistenZ a ROM. eXistenZ N for X was a ROM, as they were a standalone zips for TWRP.
Anyways it is not the theme of our topic.
P.S. For me ROM is something that is not based on stock firmware, like AOSP for example. I can combine .50 fw, deodex and eXistenZ in one standalone zip, and will it turn into a ROM?
P.P.S. And yes, there is an eXistenZ N which is based on both .69 and .252 fw.

I respect you habits sir
1. ROM is a Complete out of the box solution to drive your device. It can be Modded Stockrom (Persianrom, Panarom, Xgen) or even from Totally independent developers like ( LineAge, Omnirom, Cynogenmod, SailFish)
2. Aroma, ExistanZe are MODS. Aroma requires you to flash Sony Stockrom and then you can flash MOD. where ExistanZ has out of the box base rom .50 (some 2GB) and then extra 600MB mod need to be flashed via twrp in order to port XZ2 base apps
For newbie like me! I will easily get confused between ROM and MODS where one ROM has Totally different method of flashing and other one is simpler. ( Aroma/Existance v/s Xgen)
