which android version runs better on xperia z - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
i just bought my xperia z and updated to latest 4.4.2 version but its a bit laggy and performance is poor
i just wonders if previews android version are better or not ? for example how about 4.1.2 or 4.2.2 ?
i don't care about update .... i just want something that runs smooth on my phone ( i was nexus 4 owner)
so if u had any experience with older versions on xperia z please help me
thanks

4.3 been best so far, but I'm pretty sure bug fixes will come out for 4.4 too

Use Existenz 7.0... Best ROM on version 4.3.. Very smooth and stable. One of the best Roms I ever used. .

Xperia Z-4.2.2-Kernel 3.6

Hi
There is leaked version of JB 4.2.2 for C660X by Sir.DoomLord
But kernel version remains on 3.4
But Sony Mobile h confirmed 3.6 *nix kernel
Is this because of for example pre version of 4.2.2 or ...
Anyone know more??

Out of curiosity, any reason wgy you are interested in this kernel version? There are no android-specific improvements in 3.5 or 3.6 that i know of, and the latest kernel is 3.9 so I wonder if you gave reasons other than android user latest numbers heat

Based on stock completely
(bloatware free and tweaked for better performance)

Still based on Stock
I really want something that is diffrent
Aosp stock based rom
Based on 2.254 but themed aosp
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
Only stock based Roms are for locked bootloader, so if you want to flash an AOSP based ROM you need to unlock bootloader. You can also do this with Windows 8 and 8.1. If you have Windows 8 go to www.flashtool.net than to faq and there is how to do this. With Windows 8.1 go here: http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

This APK was pulled from a Xperia running stock 4.4. This does not imply anything for the ZR.

Lag When installing apps.

On 4.3 I'm getting lag when installing or uninstalling apps, the phone Hangs and becomes unresponsive for a couple of seconds. I've tried changing roms but it seems all 4.3 roms have this problem. This never happened in stock 4.1.2. What could be the problem and how to fix?
Well, I don't have this problem. Did you try factory reset after updated the phone
Sent from my C5302 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yes, I'm using custom rom at the moment but it was also there in 4.3 stock prerooted

Same here
Got same lag on stock .254.
Sent from my C5303 using tapatalk
Same here. On .254 was way better. Now on .266 or newest .201 there is lag.I hoped that they will fix this lag with .201 but its the same as .266.
Tried to flash with flashtool, sony update... No improvement. Even after factory reset is still the same.
After 10 years of using Sony phones i think that SP is my last Sony phone.
I will sell SP soon and buy Nexus 5 or Moto X.

Grab a z1 or Z2, it's a whole new world xD
About the lag, its better in this firmware, but is still there....
I wonder what's causing it????
Anybody still having this app install/update lag? I have it.. had it on stock 4.3, stock based rom, cm11 and now even on vanir.. Is it something hardware?
I am on stock ROM and don't have this problem, there is a graphical glitch when uninstalling apps with a minor delay but this can easily be fixed using modified package installer like the one here.
As for CM11 (LBL)-I have used it and there is no issue whatsoever regarding app uninstalls, only stock ROM has the issue.
Nand flash memory on xperia sp is very slow, no way to fix lag when installing apps.

So it was Sony's "present" to the SP owners after all.. I thought it was just my device.. Still, it is a great device that Sony doesn't want to be perfect..

Official CM11 M11 with Stock Kernel ._.
I had this problem on stock and on most of the Custom ROMs. But OmniROM, SlimKat and LBL CM11 by Bagyusz never showed any lag while installing apps

You will need to have unlocked bootloader first before flashing any CM roms or 4.4.2 roms
To back to original firmware just flash the pre-rooted 4.3 ROM over here
There's many kind.
I prefer you to wait for official 4.4 update as will be available next month
