The (Front) Camera + Bluetooth problems are both well known post Android 4.1.2. (i.e. CM10.1 or CM10.2)
If you wish to continue using those Features you'll have to stick with Android 4.1.2. ROMs (CM10).
As you have already noted akop-sgt7 works well with our GT-P1000s, as does those from Paranoid Android, and Sapir.
I suppose the next question is will we ever get to see a working CM10.1/.2 mod for our GT-P1000s now that Android 4.4.x (CM11?), is now out?
Here's hoping that those Builds won't be plagued by those same Bugs!

just wondering
if you camera screen flashes/jumps when lighting/focus changes?
i am currently using 10.1 4.2.2, and it dose that on both back and front cam...
very annoying especially when filming

I could say no it doesn't, then again I could also say that I don't use CM10.1/(.2) Android 4.2.2 / 4.3.1 either because I prefer a 100% WORKING Environment over having the latest shiny shiny, either.... It seems to me like you've been 'round long enough to known that much of it to by now. If you like the (Front) Camera & Bluetooth that much, and who doesn't? Then you had best stick with CM10 based ROMs for now...

Yes I would say that any number of CM10 based ROMs (HumberOS, Paranoid Android, Sapir to name a few), all work very well in my experience,

Same question applies... Does the (Front) Camera, and Bluetooth work?! If not why waste our time with it?
@Icarus1314; Very simple rule CM10 WORKS... CM10.1, and CM10.2 + CM11 currently do NOT work! Its still early days as far as CM11 goes, and People are working on it for the P1000, but it may still be some time before we actually see anything at all, if ever. As far as the (Front) Camera & Bluetooth is concerned.
After all this was a Bug that plagued this Device for nearly a Year now, and it still hasn't been fixed.
P.s. If your looking for "compatible" ROMs for your Device. I'd suggest you go to the Play Store (Formally the App Market), and download, and install the Goomanager app. Then search for compatible ROMs, and pick the last CM10 ROM http://goo.im/devs/cm/p1/nightly/cm-10-20130203-NIGHTLY-p1
You can also just download it to your Computer by going to http://goo.im and "Browse roms by device" (search) GT-P1000, or P1.
Sadly goo.im seems to be a bit wonky after their most recent update. So you might either have to fight though it, or find a different source.
Sadly Cyanogenmod do not seem to be hosting this File anymore though.

Cam still Rom issue
It seems that porting camera features take too long now... fc on video on cm11... still front cam issue

9.2.A.0.295 kernel source has been released.

New graphics driver...Will we get a better working CM or Omni?I haven't learned how to port stock kernel source for CM

Someone can do it? I hope this is a fix with GPS and battery drain.

I never have had Problems with GPS in OmniRom. I am back to stock since the 4.3 release (not rooted, locked BL).
With this rom I activated stamina, but the phone has a bad battary. Stock rom is more stable than OmniRom, but I also have had one random reboot with stock 4.3.
And this was short after a cold start, because sometimes I power off the phone over night.
I hope for a better stability with the next stock rom and a better battery. Maybe the new stock 9.2.A.1.199 kernel source will bring better results to CM and OmniRom.

wow really hope it can fix the blue screens in cm/omni!
I'm getting frustrated because of the reboots! :crying:

For anyone wanting a direct link to the Sony page:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...es/open-source-archive-for-build-9-2-a-0-295/
And yes, hopefully these new sources will put a stop to the blue screen issue on CM/AOSP based ROMs, want to jump back on the AOSP train, but the stability issues are not letting me do so. :silly:

[Q] Stable Kitkat vs Unstable Lollipop

Hello there,
I recently moved to cyanogenmod 11 on my xperia ZR, and found it extremely good and stable.
Although we still dont have a stable CM12 for ZR, but ported ones are available, and giving in for the love for lollipop, i did try them too, but there are quite a few bugs.
So, Just wanted to ask, what everyone of you prefers,
A stable CM11 or a buggy but newer CM12.

the latest CM12 build of xenius9 seems stable for me. I prefer CM12. Little bugs don't bother me. The sheer smoothness and fresh-look of the whole user interface make me use CM12.:good:

I am too using that build, and i second ur opinion, CM12 does give a fresh look to the device.

stable cm12 will come soon

I bought this ZR a year or so ago and the phone has been on non-stock ROM's ever since day 1 inc a unlocked boot-loader since the same time. I've tried every ROM posted in the ZR section from the Xperienz onwards inc the CM11..
The CM11 nightlies were also "unstable" depending on the nightly chosen and I often had to flash back to a stable CM11 because of bugs in that particular CM11 nightly.
All the CM builds are constantly evolving and it's kind of the charm about flashing a new CM11 or 12 because we never quite know what we're going to get.
I used to be involved in the Nokia scene, modding etc, for the last few years and i like messing around, trying new things on the phone and im currently on the CM12 02-02-2015 Validus port (have been since it was ported by uncomment because it is stable with good features) and there are some amazing work being done by xenius9, Deadroza, uncomment and others giving us ZR users a choice..
The nice thing about CM12 is the interface but the development within CM12 is awesome and I for one would take a dirty, "unstable" CM12 anytime over a stable anything, inc stock ROM..

Hi
I have the same feeling about new LP ROMs...
We have only some ported LP ROMs with bugs. And the KK ROM are all discontinued.
I tried a LP ROM (don't remember which one) and finally I'm back to KK. The design of LP is very refreshing and it's a great sensation when your ZR seems to have reborn.
There is some problems that bother me like :
- The notification LED don't works in silent mode. On Z, the LED still work when we disable the vibrator.
- The data switch is crappy. We have to press a least 3 times to activate or desactivate the data instead of just 1 time on quick settings of KK. It's the same problem for localisation switch. On KK we can choose the localisation mode quickly by pressing the same button again.
- The bluetooth audio. It works great but after some connections the sound is not play in the peripheral. We have to restart the phone to have a fonctional bluetooth back.
Due to this little but boring things I'm on a MokeeKK ROM since the begin of febuary...
Do you know if some of this things are solved? I don't have the courage to try a LP ROM just to find out if there is some evolutions. And if there is some evolutions, which ROM did you advise me? CM12, CM12.1, Resurrection Remix?
Thanks in advance

If I ask people about this things it's because it's easy for LP users to check it and tell me if there is an evolution since january LP builds.
It's easy to check the problem of LED and tell me if there is and evolution concerning the switches of data and localisation.
I know that I can make a full backup of my KK ROM but I'm busy.
If somebody can help me, it will be nice.

I'm on the latest Resurrection port by uncomment (5.4.0) and i can confirm the led works in silent mode and the switches are all working.. as for bluetooth, no comment as i don't use it but the build/port is smooth and accurate with good settings additions and very few bugs... In fact i personally have found none..

LOST in a sea of roms

Hi there.
I been spending several hours reading user's opinions about several roms for the xsp.
I saw plenty of unofficial roms based on cyanogenmod official roms. And the question that pops into my mind it's.
Why so many mods? People doesn't like the official releases?
Also I been reading that 5.1 roms are laggy, and in a custom rom i'm looking for stability and performance.
Maybe I should go for and official cyanogenmod 11 rom?
Maybe for a stock based rom?
What do you think?

Hello.
Yes, there is a lot of rom for SP. But just a few work as it supposed to.
Lollipop it is in his nightly stage, though is very stable and the most recent apps, you will be able to use.
There is too a recent patch for security, we should take in consideration, Im using myself as a daily driver without problems, nevertheless still have some minor bugs, but nothing that cant make you wish to throw your SP on wall
If you want to test and see how looks like, I would recommend Sabermod Unofficial Or CM 12.1 Official Nightly

cm12.1+ addons imo cuz it's my second full month on it and it never failed me ....no problems for me and great performance

battery is good too yep

Go for CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies with addons...Its Best for lollipop based ROMs.
You can try unofficial CM13 also if you can use the phone without camera. Battery life and performance of CM13 is far better than cm 12.1.

To be honest, is a matter of usage and preference. For me it was working fine but my phone got way too hot for my taste, but the deal breaker was that no matter what lolipop ROM I used facebook HD playback was choppy as hell. I know that it sounds silly but that's something that I need. None of these issues exist on stock, of course (C5306 - 1.205)

I think the Sabermod unofficial takes the lead on cm12.1 ... Great battery and butter smooth. I think it' s the for performance and battery !

I use official CM11 slimmed by me, without gapps, disabled LogCat, little modified build.prop + WilliamsPLUS and I'm really happy ; p

which 5.1 rom has fewer lag and more batterylife?

@beodo
A sea of roms but many of them are discontinued or not updated, so first check that one.
As fellow members said CyanogenMod 12.1 Unofficial SaberMod with add ons is the best right now for me as well, very fast, really fluid,stable and good battery life, in is some parts is even better than the latest official stock rom.
I m using this rom for over a month and i love it.
If you need even better battery life you could use Helium kernel (just dirty flash at recovery) and enable conservative governor, if you would like to take it further you can also install xposed framework which unlocks you much more features like power saving better experience, extra customization and more.
All of the above are continuously updated and supported by our great developers too :good:

The above answers you question as well

6.0.1 or 5.1.1?

Hey,
I'm still using the stock 4.3 ROM currently but it is sooo slow and laggy so I want to upgrade to a custom ROM. I'm looking for a fast and stable ROM and don't care that much about customization. Should I go for a 6.0.1 ROM or a 5.1.1 ROM? Is 5.1.1 more stable?
I looked through some ROMs from Lollipop Hub and came to the conclusion that Candy5 seems to be one of the fastest ROMs. It is supposed to be combined with the Tangerine Kernel, but that is discontinued. Can I use the Helium Kernel instead?
Since Candy5 was not updated in some time, but Sabermod was, should I rather take Sabermod? And if so, should I use the included kernel or take another one?
Most of the ROMs from Marshmallow Hub have been updated in the last couple of days. Does this mean that I have to (or at least should) update my ROM, if I chose on from here, every couple of days/weeks as well? I would prefer something that I install once and then I'm good for a while .
So, what I am basically asking is: Should I go for a Marshmallow or a Lollipop ROM (and why) and which one is the most stable and has the best performance (and with which kernel should I combine it)? For Lollipop: Candy5 or Sabermod? For Marshmallow: CM13 or Sabermod or Temasek? Or something completely different?
edit: Please don't read this as "what is best ROM, I am too lazy to test stuff myself"
I mostly need help deciding between Marshmallow and Lollipop, and, if Lollipop is "better", as in more stable/faster, then I need to know if Candy5 is a good option and which kernel to take with it (since the last update was in December, I have no idea if it is outdated or something and the reviews in the Lollipop hub are from October...^^).

M using MM [ latest build ] with PurePerformance X and the Rom performance is flawless. I love CM13. Previously , I was in stock Rom , then switched to Xperia SP stock Slim rom , then Cm11 and now finally CM13. SP looks great with CM13.

Ok sound good . I read on some CM13 ROMs that the camera was not working and that the problem is within CM13 and not the ROMs issue... is this still the case? Because some CM13 ROMs do NOT have this written in their bug section Oo

Nope..As per my experience everythings working fine with CM13 in Xperia SP.Camera too works well.Plus , flashing extra zips make the SP with CM 13 smooth and flawless .

I have tried Lollipop and Marshmallow and they are both terrible. Its a bad phone with bad specs and it will never be good.

Haha thanks for your awesome contribution
Unfortunately, I own this phone and will not buy a new one just because you don't like it.
To me, it's a decent phone and with a fitting ROM I'm pretty sure that I will be quite content with it.

Performance and stability depends on the rom, not the version itself. Most of the lp and mm roms are "almost" bugfree right now. So, try whatever you like. I couldn't see much difference between them but I loved marshmallow more.
Also in my humble opinion, carbon lp gives better performance compared to the candy5. Especially when combined with helium.

I used CM 12.1 But i think it was a little buggy. Cm 13 is great smooth, no bugs whatsoever. I also recommend XOSP. Its fast too and it looks like a proper Xperia device

I have tried Lollipop and Marshmallow and they are both terrible. Its a bad phone with bad specs and it will never be good.

I used CM 12.1 But i think it was a little buggy. Cm 13 is great smooth, no bugs whatsoever. I also recommend XOSP. Its fast too and it looks like a proper Xperia device

That doesn't even make sense. Am I supposed to be offended by this somehow?

Performance and stability depends on the rom, not the version itself. Most of the lp and mm roms are "almost" bugfree right now. So, try whatever you like. I couldn't see much difference between them but I loved marshmallow more.
Also in my humble opinion, carbon lp gives better performance compared to the candy5. Especially when combined with helium.

I'm running CM13 Sabermod with stock kernel and it runs smoothly and I have not noticed any bugs yet. It's a bit laggy playing Pokemon GO (which was the main reason for my upgrade from 4.3 lol), but I'm relatively sure that its because of the "outdated" hardware, which no ROM can fix.
So thank you to everybody that actually contributed something to this thread
