Hi folks,
Could someone please help with the following?
I have the tablet in the subject. Haven't used it in ages, as I have an iPad Air 2 from work which I prefer.
My daughter is now a teen and keeps pinching my tablet to view all her shows on my tables, although she has a rooted Nexus 7 I gave her with CyanogenMod installed.
This is driving me up the wall. Can't afford to get a new tablet at the moment so I dug up my old Sony Tablet.
My Xperia Z tablet is stock with the latest update Sony pushed out - I think it's version 5.1.1 or something.
I see a lot of roms available for this device on xda.
Is there any benefit to root the device and install one of those or is the device outdated? Will it stream Netflix, etc in HD?
Many thanks!

I don´t own an XPERIA Tablet, only the Tablet S, but I imagine that if Sony made so difficult to root the Tablet S means that for the Xperia Tab. things won´t change. Don´t you think??
I hope I´m mistaken, so that at least owners of the new tablet could root and customize better your device, but thats what I think....

I already have the HTC one which has both of these
But it's too big to carry running and I don't want it to get. Nicked
Aren't the phones you mentioned quite big?
There must be small phones running 4.3?

Hi,
i think you should really see the Sony Xperia L.
Runs 4.1 Jelly Bean , but there are even Custom Roms out based on Android 4.4 .
Xperia L has Bluetooth 4.0 and is very good looking

Xperia Go or Samsung Galaxy Gear (there is a Custom Rom for Galaxy Gear out which let you use the Galaxy Gear like a smartphone and does not require a Samsung Phone I would recommend Galaxy Gear since it is a nice looking watch for a good price for that was it does
Hi !
Are you still working on miui rom for galaxy pocket neo ? I have been running the miui rom on an older Xperia mini and it looks great !
It would be great to have it on samsung galaxy pocket neo too. I hope you have not given up yet.
I'm Brazilian and own a S5312B phone: have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/pocket-neo/development/how-to-install-custom-rcovery-root-t2836581 but with no success (I don't know how to get temporary root in the phone, to use rashr)
Hi everyone,
I'm buying the Xperia Z2 with smartband in Brazil D), taking place of my Galaxy Note 2.
The question is:
Like the Samsung Galaxy S (first version), this Xperia Z2 have Digital TV included, and I believe is different than worldwide version.
So I need to find specific rom for Xperia Z2 (Brazil, like Galaxy S), or can I install the worldwide rom like my Note2?
Thank you in advance. :good:
Regards,
Marcus.

Hello friend!
I already bought my Xperia Z2 here in Brazil and I am loving it.
i am learning a lot with people in this forum! really cool.
the answer is that you can flash other ROMs BUT only the DTV will not work.
here in brazil we are still in the firmware .55
and the world has many updated ROMs for us to flash like .402 and .438
you need to choose: you prefer to watch TV on your phone or do you prefer to keep it up-to-date?

Hi,
That's great!
I really don't care about DTV in smartphone, I barely see TV at home :cyclops:
Now I'm anxious for two things:
1-Arrival of my new smartphone/smartband
2-New android L community updates!
Thank you for the information and have a nice day! :good:
Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking about buying the Kindle Fire HD from Amazon through their prime day sale. I'm only interested in doing so if the newest version of their tablet can be rooted and I can flash a CM Rom on it. Is this possible? I've looked through the forum but most of the posts are about old versions of this tablet.
Thanks so much for your help!!
No roms have been developed for this hardware yet. Root and unlocked bootloader have just been accomplished recently. So wait a little longer and I am sure the CM 12 will be ported to the this device it's just a waiting game.
I keep scouring the web to see when the Z4 tab will get the update but it is scarily quiet! Anyone have any inside info as to what's happening?
Cheers
I too have been searching on a daily basis. I don't like doing this, but the performance of the Z4 is good, but then its still not miles away from the Z3 compact, and there should be a huge difference looking at the specs.
I feel that the Z4 is not optimised for the 64 bit octa core processor and perhaps we might see a performance jump in Android 5.1.1?
I'm also wondering why the Z4 Tablet has not the update to 5.1 yet.
On the other side there is an Android M developer preview available for nearly every xperia device except for the Z4T?
I am really a bit disappointed - you buy a brand new (and expensive) device and you don't get updates. But the "old" devices get everything...
I'm presuming Sony is having some challenges with the Snapdragon 810 and optimisation of the octal core processor. That's all it can be really.

Still no update from Sony.
I've got the Samsung Z3 Tablet Compact and the Z4 Tablet, and the Z3TC is flying along with Android 5.1.1, at times outpacing the Z4 for the same task, which makes me want to see the Z4 Android 5.1.1 update sooner than later. Sony are pushing this update out to Z3 and Z2 owners and nothing for the Z4.
Does anyone have any insight into whats going on?
No insight but I just downloaded the AOSP 5.1 binaries from SONY developer world. The AOSP sources are on GitHub.
Next week I try to build the 5.1 ROM.
According to the latest entry in PTCRB, seems that android 5.1.1 is on its way...

I'm not familiar with that site. It lists the model number as TM-0061-BV; How do we know that is the Sony Z4 tablet?

It is one of the Z3+/Z4 phones.
This is a regulatory site ...
28.0.A... software versions are for the xperias with Qualcom 810 processors from SONY.
It only means there is newer ROM for the phone. The software sans specific drivers for the phone part should be identical to the Z4 Tablets (Wifi or LTE).
So you can see it like this:
Newer ROMs for phone(s) usually means updates for the tablets too.

Good to see progress, but then how long does the Firmware rollout start after this stage? If anyone knows.
I actually ran a 5.11 version here (from AOSP sources).
But no touch functionality -> useless.
Should be fixed according to a SONY guy but trying (and reverting) takes 5+ hours including 2 of my personal time.
