Porting from xperia z - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys ... with much regret I am seeing no development for this device even though now it was solved the problem of bootloader ... I do not consider myself an expert of Android, but I would love to give a hand perhaps realizing some porting from xperia z ... would it be possible?
P.S. Obviously I did not mean to offend anyone, put it in a hurry or cause any misunderstanding ... just let notary that although this is a great device, I expected more though, as always, the devs have done a great job

It'll be, Z1 is still relatively new device...
I'm not happy because all great devs (the one that I know) bought Xperia Z and they won't buy Z1...
That doesn't necessarily means that they will not develop for Z1 but Z1 won't be their priority...
Few more things, we got 4.3 the other day and everything is still fresh so, just give devs time and you'll see how many ROMs and MODs you'll get.
Check Xperia S threads, device is from 2011/2012 and now, almost three years after there's bunch of software...
I found that important, when Sony say goodbye we have our great developers
You have great tutorial on line (on XDA) learn, ask and built something, help community...
We all started like that, try something simple, MOD theme or change few icons...
Some of us learned just the basics and some learned how to compile whole ROM.
You only need time...plenty of time to learn...and you'll see, it's not so hard to make/mod/build something.
And yeah...many apps from Xperia Z will work on Z1, porting isn't necessarily for every app.

DEVS,please read this

devs should work on bootloader cracking.not that i am forcing them to do,but i am BEGGING them.we have plenty of great roms for use.look at froyobread.its a perfect rom.now we have gingerDX.for a few weeks it will be a perfect 2.3 rom.
Now its time for future.and i know that bootloader cracking is very,very hard.and dont tell me that,why dont you do it yourself.believe me,i would if i knew.i think that we have too much talented devs,and i think they can do it,but only if they work together as a team.and we,normal users should leave them alone untill they do so.we should not spam them,ask them when will it be cracked and everything else.they will announce it when it will be done.
I love xperia x8 as much as you do.and im thankful to god that we have souch wonderful devs.we wouldnt have souch a wonderful phone without them.so i will say this once again:
THANK YOU!
i really like this thread, but its up to the devs
and you know you will be hit with critism
Thank you devs!!
love this thread..hope the DEV will considering this.. ^^
Somebody show this thread to developers since i posted it into the wrong section...

Leaving Sony for good

I have had all major Sony phones over the last few years starting with the x10, Ray, arc s, xperia s and now the T
I have decided to get a Samsung S3 and switch aligance to Samsung the slow development and Sony support being the main reason

Don't blame you, the T is a good device but loads of carriers lock down the bootloader, I can't unlock mine so development is limited for people like us, kinda sucks, I was debating between the S3 and T, may have made the wrong decision but hopefully an unofficial unlock will come our way
Even with the bootloader unlocked there is t much to flash or developing

Good luck pal, do what suites you the best. I moved to Nexus 4 and now I am back. Actually I found out that I like moderate development and not so many that you can't choose from anymore.
Sony has been having this issue but I haven't found a real replacement in terms of design. SG III is nice (not my taste)
I love Sony design it's just the development is so poor and the updates so slow

Funny because I went the other way, for now at least because I get bored easily and my 8 phones demonstrate that. The funny thing is that I'm using a Sony theme on my Nexus.
Have to say it's great getting the latest software with the Nexus after feeling quite burnt by Sony and HTC.
Dont blame sony for the lack of development.
If you want to see more development why dont you try doing some yourself. Everyone on this site does it for free, we dont owe you anything. It would be nice to see people who complain about the lack of something actually trying it themselves.
Do you think the devs (And others like me who dip our toes into it) were born knowing this stuff? No, we learned it as we went along by trying stuff and sharing things that worked....its all a learning curve

Did I say anyone owed me?
I did miui Roms for the ray themes for arc and x10
Wind your neck in son it's people like you that get on my nerves I never had a go at anyone or expected anything so just because you comment on nearly every post you think you can have a pop at me? I am not complaining merely stating a fact development is slow and while people like you think you have a go at people like me more people will not bother with the forum and change phones like I am

My post was polite, no need for me to wind my neck in.
If you developed in the past you should understand how your comments come across. Also, your knowledge would help develop some MIUI roms for the T (Is there one yet?) maybe thats an opportunity for some extra development.
Regards,
Greg

Maybe and apologise it felt like an attack
Yeah I see how my comments could be took but recently there was a big think made by some of the old x10 guys about this phone and it's development I thought there would have been more
My phone is going Friday so no chance for me to get a miui rom done
Sorry again
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
No problems.
Maybe this thread caught me at a bad point as I have just been speaking to a user via PM who is (How can i say it?) less than thankfull to me for my input to helping him out personally.
Anyway, I too had an x10 and there was great expectation for the development here that I will admit does seem slow. (Not heard anything from Adam Outler since his thread about getting the T)
I didnt mean to attack, so apology accepted and no hard feelings. Enjoy your new phone and if you ever come back it will be nice to see a MIUI rom here.
I had a x10, a Arc. Have a Xperia P & a T.
Always been happy with SE & Sony, they make very good quality phones. But were slow with development of Android updates. Had several Samsungs. Imho SGS 3 is a cheap large plastic piece. But thats my personal opinion. l had one & sold it. The SGS 4 Iooks promising. I hope you'll enjoy it. Wish you the best.

I can port MIUI if need be.lol.we have fully functional CM so its easy.problem is i dont want to unlock my TL-rex and i dont even know if it can be unlocked or not
PS:in fact any advanced user (not developer as iam not really a dev )can do it.if anyone is interested i can point to right guides
The development thread looks like a Rom grave yard so many roms unfinished and now people will be jumping to the Z most won't get finished
Shame I thought the bond phone would have more interest in it than it has had
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
Tell you what.. with Sony being so open about sharing source code and all drivers, it won't be too long before there's an infusion of devs from Sammy devices. Maybe the Z, maybe the next flagship, but I think some will make the transition as more quality phones come out.
Oh no! Another rant thread.
Sony's update is relatively fast. Samsung only updated its flagships. What about the others? Think of the big picture before shooting.

I have known you guys since the x10 days... The x10 community was huge compared to any other Xperia community...
What I would say is that everyone has their own preferences... Chiefy is a flash-o-holic... So probably it's Best that you get a device like the Nexus 4...
As for others it's totally upto you as to what you want...
Also please don't start fighting... It's more of misunderstanding than anything else...

wow..... you really went from Sony to cheap plastic?
good luck.
Funny I went the other way. In my s3, kept flashing roms after a week
Here on tx, I just rooted and found the stock ics rom much 10x better than jelly bean in s3.
There's not much to improve with the stock rom. And thats a fact

How easy is it to root the Xperia Z?

As the thread title suggests, How easy is it to root the Xperia Z?
i'm thinking of rooting, but I've never done it before and don't know where to start looking.
thanks
How hard is it to post in the Xperia Z Forum?
I wouldn't know how hard it is, I advise asking it again in the Xperia Z forum, or google it. We don't know much about Xperia Z rooting over here in the HTC One forum.

Sorry but this is a HTC One section you will find the correct section by searching for Sony Xperia Z!
This is getting amusing. I keep coming here to see how many incorrect posts there are more than I come here for info about the new phone!

Piece of piss Quite easy really, plant it in the ground, give it a good watering (it won't get damaged, it is waterproof after all), then leave it buried for 6 months and it should be rooted by then.:laugh:

[Q] Just a question to our Admins..!!!

Are there very less developers creators and makers for the xperia Z????
I check this forum regularly and dont see any new updates or roms or mods for this phone...
when I checked the samsung phones, the devs, creators are so many...is it because it's easy to make for samsung devices and harder for xperia z???? Why don't I see new mods and roms...
However, the ppl who are making it for us...I really appreciate it and to be honest...I love their job as they make something beneficial for us to use on the Xperia Z...!! But i don't see that allot..!!
Also..another question is
is it easy to make mods and roms???
I'll like to try to make..as I'm free nowadays...!!

No Development:

I just bought a xperia z3+ dual and found out there is no development on xda for this phone.
I thought as xperia z3 got huge response from dev's this phone will also be getting good development.
Any one got any idea, why dev don't want to develop anything for this device.
You have to wait a few days or perhaps weeks, the developers are doing their job. As there wasnt that much interest into this device in the first months it wasnt interesting for the Devs, but if you read a little bit around on XDA you will finde some informations given last week that there will come something really nice to our devices.
Yeah I am too waiting for CM or AOSP Roms.
