Hi everyone
Is it possible to port these features for Xperia Z?
Maybe some developers can work on it. :good:

Yeah, that would be very exciting if we could have this features on Xperia Z
But I am wondering if this is possible at all?
Most of it should be possible, since it's not all based on special hardware.
In this case, I must say that I've heard stories about Smart scroll not being THAT great. For example, when you looked away from the screen, it would register it as a scroll.
I've used smart stay on my Note, it didn't work that great, many times it depends on the lighting.

Hi, I'm thinking of changing my SGS3 LTE for the Sony Xperia Z. What's the dev support like? It seems slow? The main reason I want to move from SGS3 LTE is due to slow support from dev community and Samsung not playing nicely with the XDA dev community. Are things better with the Xperia Z? Also, how is the phone's performance and what is stock like (also, rooted stock variants)? And battery life? I'm keen for some feedback from you guys, the user base!

Look at my phone history, I had an SGS3 LTE before my XZ. Yes, the development is miles ahead! Not only that, but the stock OS on the XZ is miles ahead of TouchWiz, it's actually the only OEM skin I've seen which I could argue looks better than AOSP.
But if we're speaking strictly AOSP, you will not be disappointed. This is as much a Google Experience device as you can get without actually being a Google Experience device (IMHO, the XZ is more of a Google Experience than the HTC One or SGS4 since we have the soft buttons and they have hardware buttons).

It's shadowed by Z and ZL previously, and then Z Ultra and Z1 released not too long after ZR, plus ZR is released only in specific regions... so........ it's not standing out to the devs.

Weird. Its a better phone than the z/zl but the z/zl gets all the attention
Sent from my Xperia Acro S using xda app-developers app
it's only "better" because it uses the same hardware but a lower resolution so it doesn't have to power such a big screen and thus the overall speed is faster... it does not make it "better"...
the Z/ZL were released in April while ZR only started selling around mid-June.
also, they are available worldwide, and the Z is the first flagship of 2013 so naturally it will get the most attention, unlike the ZR which is only available in like... idk 15 countries? maybe less...
so unless there happens to be a dev who happens to have a ZR who happens to want to make custom roms for you and i to use for free, we won't be seeing much activity around here. just live with it... or get a Z/Z1/ZL... if you want custom roms i suggest u try CM... afterall most other custom roms are based on them anyway...

Or donate some money to a ROM developer. I donated some bitcoins to FreeXperia since us ZR owners couldn't use CM without them.

I did switch. Z has more premium feel to it compared to the Z. It has everyone's attention when you take it out of your pocket!!
Functionality wise, its pretty similar. I think Z has a better camera, better call quality compared to my ZL..
Go for the Z or Z1..
Hi everybody!
I would like to know if the touchscreen issue is present only in Sony stock based rom or is presented in all roms.
Thanks in advance!
sony feature, therefore sony ROMs only

Really? I was under the impression it was a hardware issue...
Old story come back. At the end I do not know what to think but Sony Touch Screen Issue screwed us all, that I am sure 100%!
im wondering if an app/theme is already available to customize the sony ui of xperia z2 to match the new sony ui of xperia z3. if there is, where can i find it? and how to apply? thanks
What new UI?
There's no new UI.
Same old Xperia UI.
Sony will (probably) wait next big Android version to change it.
And that will, most likely be Xperia Z4 powered by Android L.

Then buddy you are wrong. Z3 rom is way better than z2 rom. Its smoother and looks nicer too. And z3 has better apps. Blah Blah Blah ok Heres the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...r-freedom-z2-l50t-mobile-eye-effects-t2874676
Please keep in mind this rom is in Chinese. The guy on the post will translate the Chinese words for yo. Ask me if you needs help. Seriously you will have to ask me for help. Cos Its confusing.

This is not a Z3 ROM. It's based on .314 KK 4.4.2. It just has the apps and launcher of the 4.4.4 Z3 ROM...
I have to admit that it looks nice...

Not just it's not Z3 ROM - it's work full of half true info. (Z3 camera or DSEE sound processing for example)
I won't go into details, who likes that ROM - there's a link
Also, there's no such thing like Z3 ROMs on Z2, there are ports but even then that's not Z3 ROM.
Base can't be from anything else but Z2.
You can't use kernel or files that aren't ported and built for specific device...

Hehe lets say it is half rom
It's certainly a ROM, what I wanna say is - that's still Z2 ROM only with Z3 apps.
Same thing Niaboc did few years ago for Xperia S.
He modified UI to look like Honami style and he ported apps to work on XS.
The thing is that this ROM claims it has Z3 camera bur nope. There's only camera UI from Z3.
Also, they are claiming they added DSEE - not true as well.
Sony released sources today or yesterday and, there's still no working DSEE port.
Maybe we won't get that at all, apparently, there are hardware limitations.
Or precisely, Sony added hardware converter and there's no way to reproduce that.
I said APARANTLY - that's not confirmed yet.
But if you find that ROM is good for you then who cares what I'm talking about..
Most important is that you like it
