I have a question about custom roms and root for the Xperia ZR.
Since the hardware of the ZR is almost identical as the Z,
would it be possible to just flash a custom rom made for the Z to this device?
And if this is not possible, the porting process would be easier right?
You may find your answer in the post here

FXP is trying to port into XZR as we speak, but no promises though...
Thanks!
I hope he succeeds. It would be awesome!

DO NOT FLASH XPERIA Z ROMS ON THE ZR. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE

I don't understand why?
The hardware is almost the same..
Would there a porting guide around wich instructs how to port from Xperia Z to ZR?

i'm guessing probably the screen drivers... that's the one single most significant difference anyway

Well, it wouldn't be too hard to port roms from Z to ZR right?

You can use any Rom that is based on a stock firmware and kernel.
Make sure you have cwm recovery to flash Rom

i heard you need to be on stock based firmware to install the recovery,
but you can flash on other roms and manually flash the kernel or something like that
im not too sure,

BL is already unlockable, one unlocked u lose all DRM, there is no need for exploit.
Root was needed just to push the recovery to the stock kernel.
And CM uses a completely different kernel than the stock and the only way to flash it by unlocked BL

Exactly. I'm not sure of the chances that non-unlockable devices will become unlockable. If I said any amount if time I'd be making it up :/
One of the devs said that Sony bootloaders are locked up tight though...

Hey guys, i came from a HTC incredible S
it had AOSP roms as well and you just flashed the zip and it booted.
however here on the xperia z forums, i am reading that you need to flash the boot.img manually for AOSP roms
is there a reason for this? thanks
I think because the recovery is not working 100%

Yes because Sony's phone doesn't have a special partition for recovery that's why it's integrated with the kernel.
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Boot.img is the kernel, you can only write to the boot partition in fast boot mode for Sony devices. Regardless of model, its the same for x10, arc, P, S, Z, etc

Hello Steven, I have mine since mid July, and so far I believe Wifi being oprating normal. Actually seems somewhat better than my previous Neo V. Just as a feed-back.
I have the same with my Xperia T.
Although it's not unstable, the range is pretty bad..

This is the latest xperia home app from Z1. It installs as an update to the stock home. Works perfectly on my ZR.
You can revert back anytime by "uninstall update" option in app info.
Is this home screen work in landscape too ?
