The tx is a very nice phone, but I cannot stand the stock Sony ui, and do prefer the aosp looks.
But since the tx is sold in very limited markets, not everyone has one, hence development is very slow.
I'm pretty sure Sony has the full kernel sources for the tx, and if that's the case, I'll probably set up my own Linux box to compile my own aosp ROM.
Or would it be a better option to port an existing ROM? I'm not too keen to cross flash from T ROMs as I softbricked my tx before.

Hey Guys i have been tracking the development of Xperia Z1 for the past 3 months and there doesn't seem to be any MIUI based ROM around here...Does Xperia Z1 has any official developer or still anyone didn't get involved in MIUI Rom development?? I am willing to know this becoz i love the MIUI Roms... So, is there any chance of Xperia Z1 getting a MIUI roms soon??
Thanks for your reply in Advance.
that im not sure
miui devs are being quiet and unofficial ports (from devs known of) are also being quiet
i dont think Z1 will get much miui based roms

I had a look at miui for the Z-Ultra, to port at the moment (v5) you really need a stable 10.1? cm build to port with, and for theZU there's not one. Things might change when there is a 4.4 miui base to port

I have my Xperia V,which is already supported by a number of ROMs(CyanogenMod,AOKP,PAC-ROM,LiquidSmooth...).But,Paranoid Android is not built(or ported)for this phone...yet? Its sibling Xperia T is supported,and our phones are left in the dark... So, I was wondering,could someone of Xperia V owners,who has an experience in building a ROM for unofficial devices, do this?I would really appreciate it! :good:
One could try porting it from XT following certain guides.
Actually, I was considering to do this. But my success rate at porting is currently.. About 0%. :laugh:
I guess they are using OmniROM kernel on XT version?
If yes, use our XV Omni as a base, then replace app, priv-app and framework folders with the ones from Paranoid and see if it boots. ^^

Could someone tell me what roms officially support the Xperia SP please?
And does anyone know what the MOST stable rom for an Xperia SP is?
Thanks
Stable rom?Use stock or stock based roms.There are many roms out there in development section.
Now don't ask which is best rom or which is better because it is against the xda rules.

Like umair42 said, stock should be the most stable, but you can look for CM11 for locked or unlocked bootloaders (depends on your phone) on this forum. I can recommend CM11 by Bagyusz for LBL.
Hi,
After much Youtube and Google searching for good Lollipop Roms, I came across Blisspop (v20), which looks like a pretty interesting Rom. I checked XDA and their official builds, but they don't seem to have a build available for Xperia Z1. So I'm thinking of porting Blisspop to my Z1 (if I can!). But before I try porting, I have some questions.
1. On Bliss Team's download website (http://downloads.blissroms.com/) they have their own Bliss kernel. I'm pretty sure the kernel won't work for Xperia since it's not built for it. What kernel should I use to safely flash this ROM without risk of hard brick (or brick of any kind)?
2. Is camera fixed yet? I've heard that it's still broken on CM12, but that's probably for the older CM12 kernel?
3. What's different between the builds with other devices? Should I download the Hammerhead build and try to modify it?
4. Is it difficult to port for an inexperienced person (I have no programming knowledge.)
Sorry, I'm really new to this.
Sony said, No more Z1 OTA. sadly.:crying:
So I want to know.
Is it possible to change the 'sony stock' + 'marshmallow'
+ 'custom(like Rockz1l)' + 'porting(z5, X series... Whatever)' rom
in the future?
Sorry for bad Eng.
I wish it is possible.

No, because you need Marshmallow sources from Sony, which they'll never release.
Z1 is done and obsolete. If you really want the latest Android version, download the unofficial CM/AOSP Marshmallow ROMs; otherwise, buy a new phone. Although CM/AOSP MM build has been released a while ago, they're still full of issues (camera is bad, low battery life, etc.). They're still under active development, so things may change in the future. I recommend staying with Lollipop because it's stable and has excellent battery life.

Thanks for your help.
I'm on 5.1.1 Kai rom + rockz1l kernel.
and I love sony features.(DSEE HX, Sony camera...)
So, I wish what I said, but it can't....sadly :crying:
maybe, buy used Z2 or X series is best choice in current situation.

People had success with porting Sense 6 to hammerhead, and it's surprisingly usable with some issues considering it's a non-source port for an entirely different device.
Porting a proprietary ROM is a pain as it mostly involves trial-and-error to find out what's preventing the ROM from booting up but we will see if a similar project appear for the Z1
