Have you built kernel from source or applied a stock one?
Have you built AOSP ROM for your phone and checked how correct it works?

Rom from sdk manager?

When i download for example the new jellybean package in the sdk manager I can run it in my emulator wich means that i got the complete ROM. So my question is how to extract that ROM and flash it. Btw I got a Xperia mini st15i with official ics so can I get jellybean on it?
Hi,
theoretical, yes. But nothing will work. The ROM is optimized for the virtual Android phone and not for the Xperia mini st15i.
This means:
1. The drivers are wrong -> lots of things won't work.
2. It's not optimized for your display size -> widgets won't work until they are resized.
But you can build your own rom with taking this rom and add the sony ericsson stuff. But something still won't work, so you have to modify them.
I hope I could help you,
Hardy
Can you give me a link for a tutorial for optimizing roms. I already googled but didn't find anything.

[ROM][21/01][9.1.A.0.485][Small Apps][Bravia Engine 2][ClearAudio+]Fidelity VX 8.0

I made this ROM for my Xperia P device in this thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889581
Some users reported that it can also be installed on Sola and working fine. Not so surprising though as build.prop is modified not overwritten and most stuff I added are stuff from T/V so it's quite possible. I don't have devices on hand to test myself besides Xperia P so let me know what works and broken there so I can try fixing it to make it more generalized.
Very promising ROM
Appearantly it works on Xperia U and should also work on Sola/Go too for any 6.1.1.B.1.x stock ROM. Make sure you prepare root/busybox/init.d before flashing this ROM.

it worked on my xperia u .. i didn't saw any problem besides the middle button didnt work.. not at all
Hello Windows X,
Thanks for your job, I have tested Fidelity VX 7 and8 and it's great !
I just have one weird problem with the 8.0 version, I'm not able to connect to internet through 3G/3G+ unless I ask to the phone to search and download MMS and Internet configuration ( in setup ) each time I boot the phone.
Sorry for my poor english if you have trouble to understand.
It probably has something to do with partial working JB files. I hope next release will solve those problems.
Version 9.0 was released btw and v10 with Xperia Z files is in development.

XA ultra F3211 custom rom

Hi guys, I've found a custom rom that seems to work for our XA ultra. I'm using an other phones rom as base.
I don't want to steal someone elses credits and/or work.
I haven't spoken with the author and I'm not aware of all the rules. I fell of the motorcycle when a dog tried to attack me so my hands(palms) are wounded. Feel free to help me on this journey. Finally no more sickening bloated sony rom.
Kernel used: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xa-ultra/development/f32xx-stock-kernel-built-sources-t3639725
System image ROM: AOSP? 7.0 Need to contact author first.
Bugs:
- Battery shows as 1%
- No sound from speaker, MIC works
- Settings System app crashes when opening about phone
- Camera with weird blueish greenish hue/tint
- Share image upload doesn't show file browser
What's working:
- Touchscreen
- Keyboard
- WIFI
- Camera front and rear
- Auto rotate
- SD card
- Vibrations

No clue I contacted the author of the rom if it is okay to link his rom in this thread, will ask him if he replies. Not sure if it is an aosp or 7.0 modified to look like one.
I'm just happy we found a non sony rom to work as expected with our phone with minor issues. I did not port the rom just flashed system.img and it seemed to work. No major crashes overheating or anything like that. I know we can replace some files like camera libs so charger to get stuff working properly and maybe fix the settings crash when trying to open about phone with logcat? I know most fixes are listed in porting guide topics so hopefully it will be a piece of cake.
I prefer slim roms over any sony roms. TBH i debloated stock 6.0 rom but the phone was overheating and minor issues so I tried some other roms, i removed the backplate of my phone so I can test and remove thr battery cable to quickly reboot when it's stuck or looping. I have no problem with it since my screen broke I also took twrp backups incase it's needed. The sony threads are just too empty

As said by @Tahsin88 he have forwarded sources code links to me, very big thanks to him :good:. Until now I worked with Elephone P9000 sources code as base and it was good on Marshmallow but for Nougat it uses a lot of files from MM and it's not good. New sources are even better to build Nougat based roms, I have to port them to XA and start building. It will takes some time but it's on the good way

I worked on dt2w P9000 is not good because needed files are already compiled, I need original .c and .h but they are already compiled in .o so it's like some already chewed food and I can't port the patch from it. I tried with an other patch but it doesn't work because some kernel definitions are different in the code and I'm not good enough to correct this. I think that if I can find the same thing in a 3.18 kernel it will works.
Good news for you, all this work and rom building are made on a F3211 device Now I have this one and a F3112 (XA), I work on it because the XA Ultra community thanked me more than the XA community for my work on Nougat so for me it's normal to work on XAU first and later on XA

So, I guess it will be harder to succeed. Anyway it's not the end of the world, we may not have dt2w but we will have a working custom rom which is better

Can we port or install some features from XZ2 and Z series to Xperia X Oreo?

Hello guys, I am new to this forum. I recently purchased refurbished X dual from ebay for very low price. I am a big fan of Sony. Previously i used Xperia ZR.
I updated X dual to Oreo. I had a few questions.
1. Can we port the headphones selection feature that i seen in my ZR. Check the screenshots i posted below about headphones feature.
2. Can we port new Sony lockscreen clock in XZ2 and XZs/XZ1 lockscreen clock to our X dual without root?
3. Can we change the color of notification panel to new black like in XZ2?
4. Also while listening songs, the music app notification not changing the colors based on the songs we listen. I hope you guys understand my poor English fluency.
5. Does the X model recieve 8.1 update in near future?
6. Guys, I want to change the X dual system font to Products Sans like Pixel. Does anyone observed Google maps is showing Pixel phone font!
7. Notifications feature on X dual Oreo are not completely optimised. I can't maximise the notications i mean i can only see some part of notification message.
8. How to get Google app widget rounded corners like in XZ2?
9. Are there any other features i can install from XZ2 ?
10. Guys, i can install Google Camera but the app not opening for a second. It's not working at all.
11. Guys, what are the best camera settings u advise? How to completely prevent audio noise/ disturbance while recoding videos?
12. How to get pixel like power off user interface without installing any app? Any other pixel features we can install in our X?
if you think all these can be achieved without having Root access
then
NO sir, its not possible!
if your Boot is UNLOCKED!
you can flash Xgen!
its MODDED stockRom by @Chippa_a on latest oreo has almost all XZ2 features embedded to X
Thanks for the reply. What about 8.1 OS ? Do you think Sony will release 8.1 OS update to X dual?
If i install XGen Rom with Magisk module enabled can i use bank apps and games like Super Mario Run i mean they don't support Custom Roms or rooted OS.
I also had a doubt can i get the gaming performance like stock? I don't know this but i observed in my old mobile Xperia ZR that after installing some custom rom, the gaming performance was so bad. Normal 2d games like shadow fight 2 lagged on custom rom. I remember that custom ROMs needs some driver to play games.

1. X is more likely not to receive either Kernel 4.4 OR 8.1
2. yes you can hide ROOT from certain apps via magisk
3. again if root access can be hide via magisk for Super Mario, its more likely to work
4. ZR to X its a long way! everything is different now, Android has changed! , Xperias have improved alot! the Custom Rom you tried on ZR was different story and Xgen on X is totally differen.
please note that Rooting X is a LONG process. mainly because to rescue DRM KEYS

1., 9., Yes
2., 3., 6., 8., Yes (but only with root).
everything else except 11 - no.
As YasuHamed mentioned, you can install either X-Gen or (if you know Russian well and can use 4PDA) eXistenZ. It'll give you most of the features you've asked us.

Here I must correct you. Two days ago X has received k4.9 from CAF, but it's only for SODP.
That means we will have 4.9 in custom ROMs.
But yeah, stock will never receive neither 4.4 (because nobody at Sony wants to do it for any device) nor 8.1 (same reason + they have some problems porting their UI to 8.1 but shish that's a secret).

A-a-a-a-another addition here. He was probably using non-stock based custom ROM. If he'll use OmniROM or AOSP, he will likely experience the same problems as he experienced on ZR, cause of the drivers. But I've never tested anything performance-heavy on k4.4+, so can't say if it's true or false.

1. since the post started on the point of where user had locked boot loader so all the answers given keeping STOCKROM in prespective only , LOIRE kernel4.4 is OUT (different OEM Binaries supporting New Android Code) from SONY only but they wont develop any STOCKROM on that. it will be for AOSP, or third party rom such as Omnirom or Lineage etc. (from Market point of view- X is history for sony)
2. I beg to differ, I had tried 3rd party roms on my Z devices and on X devices, the result was different in performance and speed. so Unless he tries we wont know.
Guys, why Xperia keyboard is not working on our X. I installed some old model Xperia keyboard it was installed it worked for a second but then it closed with some error message! Why this happening?! In apkmirror site it shows the latest Xperia keyboard supports 8.0 OS but still why is it not working on our X?

the new signed Xperia Keyboard (by sony) from any apkmirror site, fails to install! you will have to flash it via twrp! or try older versions!
btw
Swiftkey given in X is much better! it has embeded clipboard and smart memory of my recent words! predictions are amazing!
in short i have froze my default keyboard in my older xperia and using swiftkey!
Xperia keyboard is clean and simple. Swift key has many features and i like it but i want a keyboard with simple user interface. I installed Gboard. It looks as minimal as Xperia keyboard. I want to know why Xperia keyboard not supporting our X model?
By the way the earphones came with Xperia X doesn't support Noise Cancelling why? Can anyone tell the X dual earphones model no.? Ebay sent me MH 750 earphones and they looks so bad. My old Xperia ZR came with best earphones I don't know the model but they just sound more better and feel much premium in hands! X dual earphones doesn't feel good in hands they look so cheap.
Guys, I found Xperia keyboard 8.0.A.0.110 (March 8,2017) working perfectly well on X dual Oreo OS!
