Soo i have Z2 with stock rom,i now want to root it and install some custom rom....I need some advice whats the best right now custom rom with all features (Z2 camera mod tweaks,battery tweaks,audio boost...)
And i would like to have different UI i am bored of stock android And that have no bugs
I never rooted and all that more help the better What i need to do to get custom rom and all that
It's best to do some searches, get an idea of how to to root, what ROMs and mods there are. Then look for threads regarding what interests you and ask questions there.
Bear in mind there's less development now for the Z2.
Good luck

First of all you need to install latest official MM build, I assume you've alredy done that. So next step for root and recovery is in this https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/tool-rooting-23-5-1-291-supersu-t3437280.When you get root and recovery you need to backup your TA partition bcs of DRM keys(use google about that). Guide is here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp.../tutorial-backup-ta-partition-to-drm-t2234627 After that go to flashtool and follow process for unlocking bootloader. Now you can install custom kernel too. Only active thread with developers is https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235951 and its very confusing but subscribe there and follow thread. I personally use stock rom with mods without xposed, and everything i have written you is from my personal experience about 2 month ago. So good luck, and if I helped you press thanks
Android 6.0.1 is on my Z2 D6503 and I know to root and unlock bootloader thats easy,but i need to know what to install after that ?
Which ROM is best optimized with most features(audio boost,battery life optimized,camera optimized) or i need separatly to install this audio boosts,flashlight boos,camera optimized apk and all that ?
If there is no best say at least some good ROMs with these features i said and that i can install features if ROM doesnt have it ?
And i want to have different UI i am sick and bored of stock android

I installed all mod's manually on my stock MM, but you can find something like this is best option (my opinion) https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-kryptonian-rom-awesomeness-v1-t3484534
Can this ROM support this mods on xda for cam,audio,flashlight ? Or it needs to uptade or change some first ?
Only it is stock android look is there something to install some mod to change look ?
And can i just root and unlock bootloader and install this mods for camera,audio and all that?

Every Stock modified rom supports any mod that you mentioned above ( some have it already pre-installed).
If you want to change the look on stock rom install xposed or flash mods like Pixel mod..
You dont need UB to install any mods, UB only to install Custom Roms like CM,Paranoid....

Yes you can

Camera audio mods, display mod, quick charge all can be flashed just with root and recovery.

Hello,
I search how find a kernel for my device : the motorola defy.
How find kernel please ?
Thanks
Just use one of these apps: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jiaofamily.android.km&feature=search_result or https://market.android.com/details?id=com.teamwin.kernelmanager.free&feature=search_result .
thanks you very much but I would like kernel to port a ROM. It's the same ?

What do you mean? Do you mean you want a kernel to base a rom on? If so, then yes you can use those kernels, but just make sure the kernel is for a rom specifically for the device the kernel is for.
thanks
I search a kernel for my defy but the bootloader is not deblocked. So I can't find a kernel, can I ?
I would like port for example a rom from an LG for my defy ?

Your device needs to be rooted to flash a new kernel/rom. Is your device rooted?
yes it is rooted
according to this post,
"Porting an other device's rom
Well, that part is easy
- extract the system.img
- extract boot.img
- replace boot.img-kernel with the one from your stock Hero rom one.
- rebuild boot.img
- build update.zip package (look someone's hero custom rom to see how to do it)
- sign and flash
It should run place and make calls but probably won't have Wifi, BT, trackball support."
It is reallly easy ?
Thanks
For Kernel Manager (the first link in post #2), you also need to have busybox installed.

It depends on how much experience you have in these things. To me it looks pretty easy but you may find it more difficult. I don't know if you have experience in this so I cannot say if it is really that easy for you.
(Yay! My 500th post)
last question:
How know if the kernel is good? because there are many kernel !
Or Can I extract from my phone ?

Read what they say. Like if you want to make your device faster, then get an overclockable kernel. If you want to conserve battery life, then get one that says undervolt. If you want more freedom, then get on with many options. (It's all based on your preference). Me, I would choose one with the most freedom so that I can change setting (cpu speed, etc.) whenever I want. Also look for the latest version (if you want to have the most recently updated one). If you still can't make up your mind, then choose based on user reviews.
thanks
so all are compatibles ok ?
and how extract the kernel ?
promised after I stop
you can just flash them using an recovery menu, or use an app for this.
I dont know if rom manager could do the job, try it
thanks for all your answers

All kernels you see in the app should be compatible since they are supposed to be device specific but still check to see if it says the name of your device beside the kernel.
after have ported my rom on the defy, it reboot on bootloader with errors
what may be the problem ?

Likely to be a bad flash. Just reflash the kernel. If this doesn't fix your problem, then reflash your rom.
FFB ( Fast From Birth ) ICS ROM
This is my first work so go easy people and test it slowly, i've only tested on Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman so leave feedback about other devices too !
It is based on the ICS 4.1.B.0.587 version of android ! It is prerooted, zipaligned, busybox included, and signed !
Useless apps and frameworks has been ripped off ( Generally it's a fully debloated Stock ROM ), only basic apps, wallpapers and Radio has been left untouched. I suggest running the V6 Supercharger Script after installing this so that you get the full possible boost.WARNING
This ROM was created for performance and simple phone use so don't expect fancy things like Event Stream or other flashy apps in it !!!
I am NOT responsible for anything that happens to your device when you flash this ! You take full responsibility for your actions and I am not to be held responsible in any possible way !!!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
INSIDE the zip file is the edited stock 4.1.B.0.587 boot.img and it includes : CWM Recovery, init.d support, unsecured, App2SD support ! I want to say a big thanks to adridu59 for providing the stock boot.img unsecured, with CWM and with init.d support already in it ! ( proper info and credits below ) !!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now...off to the GOOD part
To install the ROM:
1) Copy the ROM to your SD-CARD
2) Boot into recovery
2a) wipe data/factory reset
2b) wipe cache
2c) wipe Dalvik Cache
2d) wipe /system
3) Flash the zip file
If you face any problems with the installation try reverting back to Stock ICS and then flashing the ROM.
Use it with Stock or Stock-based kernels ( I have tested with Lupus kernel, RAGE kernel and a few other stock based ! ).

1.) V6 Supercharger works just fine without the modified services.jar, all you lose is the launcher strength, but you still get the Low memory killer values and kernel and all other little tweaks.
2.) Yes but without an unlocked bootloader you still get the STOCK kernel and there is no way of getting TRUE init.d support without the customized one, at least that's waht i've seen as long as i've been using my phone
3.) You can install recovey and i'm pretty sure about it. I' ve tested this.
4.) Are you sure about this ?? :\ And i say again i've tested all my instructions
5.) What do you mean clear instructions ? It's pretty easy You a) open flashtool b) connect your phone to fastboot mode and then c) flash the kernel BUT it's not like i'm here to teach anyone how to do this, it's a custom ROM people you should know what to do with it
Gsm/Wcdma bug not fixed.
Led notifications not fixed.
Status bar network icon bug.
Xperia home fc when ever you try moving a widget.
Performed all cleans, wipes and formats before flashing.

1.)Whatever...
2)No such thing as true init.d and false init.d as long as script is initialized on boot...
3.)Xperia MDPI has no recovery partition so you cant install recovery .I mapped the partition layout of SK17i(which is same as all other Xperia MDPI) so yes I am pretty much confident ...
Locked BLs have Pseudo recovery which vanishes on ROM installations and dont allow format systems from update script
Unlocked BLs use Custom Boot.img with Dual Ramdisks .
4.)I am pretty sure ROM Manager doesn't work since flash_image wont work ...It will just hard brick the device or do nothing at all .....
5.)You dont have clear instructions ....Check Other threads and you will see ...All ROMs have clear instructions for Locked and unlocked Bootloaders ...
According to your instructions locked bootloader peeps wont be able to use it due to lack of fastboot ...
Also the kernel is pointless since I doubt anyone with Unlocked BL will use a kernel without Dual Ramdisk/recovery Support. "True init.d " is ok but it's not as useful as Hard Recovery for which we unlocked Bootloaders
TBH ,I think ,you don't own the device or you have just owned it AND you are coming from an LG or HTC device ...The install instructions are more in line of an HTC/LG device rather than an Xperia Device ...

If you read the title, you'll see this ROM is only for LWW
Maybe I can take dev files from another ICS Rom, however it is good to have a stock .587 flashable zip with all bugs fixed (ok, except GSM/WCDMA net on reboot). If the developer won't update the links are there other projects like this? Or maybe someone can give me the links of all fixes for ICS?
Link fixed !
Yep, ROM has been tested ONLY on LWW but there is a slight chance it will work on other 2011 Xperia mdpi...not sure though !
New files UPLOADED now !!! ( They're only temporary since I plan on making a few enhancements, try them and let me know of the bugs that come up !
Also how do you see the idea of changing the default launcher ?

JB 4.3 would be nice
happy to install manually but i think viper4android prefers supersu per op viper op notes, also need viper4android to be a system app that way it survives ram clear. the other issuse would then be clockwork recovery insists on rooting superuser# binary not supersu. Kernel govners to if possiable. im using a 32g wifi xperia tablet z pollux windy.
would you be willing to take on project?
I can help you to install all you want. You said you want 4.3 stock ROM. That shouldn't be hard. I just need to know in which Android version you are so I can prepare everything up.
Add me on Hangouts: [email protected] to talk more...
CM 10.1 FXP301 build. Then I installed no bloat and delated CM updater for peace n quiet.
Then I replaced supersuser# with supersu
Then i Edited build.prop to false on all lpa entries. Moved viper to system, app then installed
Team Freexperia! Camera works with video record and this ROM puts out now better audio quality then all other custom ROMs for xperia tablet z

I am facing several prolems in my XOLO A500s ROM (MTK 6572)
I have deodexed my stck rom + rooted but i am unable to implement the Gravity BOX fetures
Like: i can't get the data speed monitor mod,nor the clock mod and many more.
But there's custom rom which has this fuctionality to apply all the gravity box mods.
Is there something i need to change in my stock rom.
Please guide me through this.:highfive:
NOTE: I don't want to use the custom ROM because they have some problems in them some of them don't have gps on/off,another have the 1 MP camera insted of 5MP.
Another show internel memory as SD card and SD Card as internel.

It is simple, nothing will work if the ROM is not close to AOSP.
In order to get GB to work, you will need to ditch your stock ROM and install a custom ROM which are extremely AOSP-based (CM won't get it work too).
If you insist, then you can do only nothing as the dev behind GB already stresses that GB are for AOSP ROMs and he will never ever interested on giving unsupported devices any support
Unless you're so desperate for it
You can learn compiling and decompiling so that you can grab some GB source code and make it work on your stock ROM.

That's not how custom ROM works. And what you have done is seriously wrong
Flashing a completely new ROM is better than the unsafe file overwriting inside /system/xxxxx . Though it might be working in your eyes, however I am pretty sure there are many errors in the logcat since you have mixed up your ROM with unfamiliar files.
Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on

Flash a custom ROM that is AOSP or code a new app that does what GB does for your device
Please take note of the above paragraph. That's the choices you have.
I was using GB before. Since I tried CM, and loved it, I have been known that GB won't be supported on CM. What I did was I completely abandon GB. I even have donated to such app. I feel sad, but yea life must go on

Hello,
I was wondering I have xperia P with android 4.1.2.
Google maps for example is working a bit laggy on this phone can this be fixed?
Should I try installing a rom for android 4.4 or maybe 5.0?
I don't know wich one I need to install for best allround performance for this phone or is stockrom good enough??
Any idea guys?
I allready tried in the past some cyanide mod rom but my phone didn't boot anymore luckely I could let it work again with flashtool64
Any tips? Or can I just optimize this phone with special applications for rooted phones?
Greetings Avanox
In my opinion you should stay on stock rom. I have used both 4.4 and 5.1 but the stock 4.1.2 is most stable among them.
You should root your phone, make TA backup (in case you haven't unlocked bootloader in the past) then unlock bootloader.
Install Nemesis kernel.
Remove all unnecessary bloatwares.
Add these lines to build.prop
dalvik.vm.verify-bytecode=false
dalvik.vm.dexopt-flags=v=n,o=v,m=y

Flash this zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByS_TYUaHe5SWi1HaE5qMUYwWVE/view?usp=docslist_api
Factory reset the phone.
My phone is allready rooted, and also unlocked.
Where can I install nemesis kernel??
I had an alternative app to remove bloatware ,
But what apps should I remove that are bloatware?
Oh and I have android 4.1.2 running on this phone.
What is this zip flash thing for??

You can flash the kernel in fastboot mode from this link

Also you can use any root file manager to delete apps from the system partition of your phone. I'm using ES file manager 3.2.5.5 (old version) because the new version is bloated itself. I don't exactly remember how many app I have removed but after deleting them I have the following apps (attached in screenshots) in system/app. Note that there are three extra apps - ESExp.apk, CPU.apk, Superuser.apk. The first one is file manager app, the second one is No frills CPU control app, and the last is SuperSU. Also I have updated Play Store (Phonesky.apk) and Google Play Services (GmsCore.apk) to the versions 6.7.13.E-all and 9.0.82(034) respectively and moved it to the system replacing the older versions. You can find both on www.apkmirror.com. I have also deleted apps from system/etc/product and system/etc/customization.
The zip contains Xperia keyboard 6.4.A.1.44, Xperia Home launcher 5.1.A.0.20 and Dialer app without any lag.
You can find build.prop in /system/build.prop and edit with a text editor. Those lines will allow ported Keyboard and Dialer app to work without getting FC.
