Sorry if its too noob question.
I was wondering, Sony have released some AOSP Sources for Xperia. Now, I was thinking, if it is possible to build one KitKat For XV/XT by modifying those, and as we already have the binary drivers from stock FTF dump.
If it is possible (not just theoretically, also practically)
I am downloading BBQ Linux now and planning to do this. Any guidelines will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Its possible, but you'll get nothing but a plain AOSP rom without custom rom features.

Thanks for assuring I don't need the Custom features, I just need to be able to run all the Sony Software (I miss CyberShot ) with KitKat on my XV
My BBQ download is finished, tonight I'm going to setup the whole thing and start Studying on this Let's hope it's not too tough for me to complete :fingers-crossed:
Wait.. CyberShot? They released the proprietary drivers? >.>

Nope, that's just a bad dream :crying:
Sony Released AOSP for XL and they gave some propitiatory binary. I Will first try to compile for XL (Planning to get my brother's set)
Try to run Cybershot for L. Then, if it works, I will try to find the same/similar binary files from my XV Stock dump and then try to build one AOSP for XV.
So far this is my plan. Even if Cybershot porting is not possible, I could learn something New, that's the real goal here
Thats always the goal. :good:
Learned a lot myself developing my rom.

Probably not yet. This is not flagship, not best 2013 device, young device. Maybe CM10.1 will be availible when FXP buy XSP. Or when developer show himself to community.
Why not?
It's a best possible device of the year so far. Fits the fastest processor, good amount of ram and everything else. Somebody should start working on custom ROM for this device.

is there no way to port a older 4.1.2 based PACman to this device? Ui and settings from PACman are great, but Sony Battery economy is often better.

Well my advice is get use to logcats(google troubleshooting them, maybe even research a few ported manifactured roms to different devices and kernel porting will also be a big part of a build like this) , if you can get it to a working state these areas will be where most of the problems will be show whats conflicting, But without a kernel built/ported for the rom and hardware confliction issues your gonna have issues logcat may not be able to solve. Its not impossible but its far from easy porting from a different manifactured device but it does happen, htc roms have been brought to samsung for a few devices tho very few if any ever 100% function and it can be very time consuming for even a pro builder. would be nice for a custom factory rom from another branded device on our device!. I i wish you luck and will keep my fingers crossed and will check it out once its posted :good:

You are talking about 2 completely different things here. Our custom Roms are stock based with some modifications. These are no ports.
Sent from my SM-T210 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Mm... I see what you mean.
Still, we could get a Nexus 7-like Lollipop ROM when Cyanogen releases CyanogenMod12. Or 13. Cannot remember.. :silly:
btw using a Touchwiz based rom to port a AOSP rom is completely useless that will never ever boot.
if you port something do it from a similair device with the same hardware and uif you port aosp you need a aosp base! if you port a touchwiz based rom use a touchwiz based rom Easy!
Mate not to crush your dream or effort but what the other devs are tell you if true including my self. Educated your self more, all the tutorials and guides regarding porting, building custom rom and more can be find on xda.
As for Lollipop we would have to wait till a compatible / similar device has it before it can be ported.
On that note hope that clear up some stuff for you and understand things better.
So the galaxy tab 2 has official support from cyanogenmod which I think it will be getting cm 12 which the device hardware and specs are not much different someone can port that over to our tab 3.
Or if the tab 4 gets official Samsung android l update you devs can port it to our tab 3??

Upload the rom so i can check/replace the lib files
The only ROM that varies from stock is gr8nole's CM11 ROM. All other are touchwiz
If we had a stable CM ROM i feel this device would be very smooth and probably run some high end games smoothly

Hey guys, since I installed CM11 on my Xperia V I got a little interested in CM12, so I'm getting their CM12 branch to try to start building CM12 for Xperia V(MAYBE T), but I don't know is it any worth it? CM12 is coming in less than a month, the code is/optimization is not yet stable. I see a lot of devices getting the taste of Lollipop, so I guess I can do something in my free time, I have abandoned developing for a while, when my Xperia X8 died and I don't have a lot of time to do so, but what are your thoughts on this? ^
This is not a promise or anything like that, I said I'll MAYBE do it, I'm currently checking the branch!
UPDATE: So since a lot devices are getting homebuilt CM12 or CM12 Beta I thought I should make one for Xperia V, wish me luck and lets hope I don't get a lot of errors :silly:
UPDATE 2: Here I am with a new update It's going good and also bad, the developing is going good, but I kinda messed up(don't hate me for that) ^_^ since I'm building on VirtualBox i placed VHDD on a wrong partition and messed up syncing the source code, so I have to go over, but this time I'll take my laptop to university library since they have super fast internet and i'll be back on track in few days!
UPDATE 3: Guys VirtualBox is giving me a lot of problems, I'm considering to Dual-Boot windows and ubuntu or reinstall VBox, which would mean starting all over, sadly
I'll keep you updated
UPDATE 4: I decided to start all over, since it didn't do go well as I expected and everything went to ballsack so yeah, sorry to inform you, but starting all over :/
FINAL UPDATE: I have compiled a build for V, but the kernel wasn't good so it messed the phone up, anyway,WhiteNeo made a Bootable CM12(kudos) so check out his thread. This means I will not be building CM12 anymore, but help WhiteNeo if i possibly can.
AGAIN, I'm not promising anything! :good:
Nice of you to think about doing it, but for me personally, I'll wait for a daily driver.

That's what I'm thinking also, I mean I can make something, but for no particular reason, because it's coming out in a month and a little more stable version in two or so. I guess I can devote myself to it only if they don't officially release it, but let's all hope that's not gonna happen!

Or contact me on whatsapp 9617336199
I am waiting for your rply
I would like you to continue with this work
friend what you are doing may be the best thing that could happen to my xperia x8 what happens is that and expected Cyanogenmod ROM android lollipop and say they do not support my device but looking at your post that you are planning to make this rom wanted that you followed up with that device so either you have to work the bugs but wi-fi

Shinto so much for the death of your XPERIA X8 device I would feel badly without my terminal x8
Welcome to the official thread for the Lollipop roms for our Optimus 2x
As to start, this thread is exclusively for the developers who are interessted/working on on the Lollipop ports for our Optimus 2x
We had alredy some build like the OmniRom , CM12 and even ParanoidAndroid.
This thread is exclusively for discussions for the developers and for the testers to test the new made roms so I will update the links as the roms get made. So I am only posting here the links of the latest version, to get the versions from the past you wil need to browse throught this thread
Update 05/6/2016
Gucky did it again! New build for CyanogenMod 12.1 is up, and now with fixed camera! When I get the full list of working features and bugs, I will upload it here. Thank you Gucky for your massive help and contribution to this community. This device is very old after all, and you still find the time to tinker on it. No words really. Respect!
CM12.1 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/lg...cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-p990.zip/download
WARNING the Rom is still not stable, but we are close!
ParanoidAndroid: https://s.basketbuild.com/devs/Puri/p990/AOSPA(lollipop)
Take in mind that all these roms are unstable besides the CM12 rom,but it still has some major bugs which we as a group will fix.
As in all of this, stay tuned for updates
Good job my friend
Thank you very much. I'm downloading right now. It would be useful, if you could upload your (Lokal) Manifest, too. So we are able to re- build the rom with the necessary changes.
Looking forward!
Credits goes to you!

TheMysteryouse said:
Hello everyone.As you might know me from some threads where i comment some stuff.Anyways, since Lollipop was announced i was obssesed with it and my wish was that i would be the first one to make the version availble for our device.
Well i kinda did it....KINDA of course but we need some help if we wanna make it work.I call ALL of the developers for our device to work together to make it work.We are so close to get it fully booting.I made it boot to the animation and now where the help comes in use.We need some developers who can enable ADB on our device in the bootanimation.TO be honest i dont really know anything about sources and that stuff but i know some things.With the help of @tonyp and @timduru which I am the most thankfull of that gave me hope to make this.So here we go!
WARNING!!!
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
No one should download and flash this rom because you will get stuck in the bootanimation and will need to install previouse rom again and install everything over...blah blah blah.
Also the link to the rom is here ----> https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwhg08ux7qhtgsh/5.0 test.zip?dl=0
So if someone gets it working, please pm me in the progress. Cheers

nope, didn't touch anything other than the updater script i think and the build prop because i wanted fully stock experience
I can be your tester my phone got a battery problem so im having fun with flashing roms
I will try to exchange the updater script from my build with yours.
Lets see if I can flash mine.
And your your problem: I think there are one or more patches that we maybe need, witch timduru wont need because of the tegra3 hardware. (maybe some patch for our old egl hardware)

Well, it might be that he used KatKiss from timduru for the TF101 which has a Tegra 2, but still our phone uses the Tegra 2 AP20H, while the TF101 uses Tegra 2 T20. Small difference in the chipset, but still a difference. Easiest would be to port from the Galaxy R or Captivate Glide, but they too struggle with Lollipop over in their forum. Anyway, TheMysteryouse used timduru's AOSP rom, so maybe it would be easier building the whole thing from the demo CM12 sources available.

Nope, this rom has NOTHING to do with the tegra 3 rom.I used the rom for TF101 tablet which is tegra 2 but had a cmall chipset difference.So yeah I am still trying to do some things like searching the framework sources from tony to see if he has a code in the build.prop which directly enables ADB from the boot, but cant really find it.Anyways try your best and so the others.Cheers
Hi guys, after some testings I could get booting to finish. There are some errors left. But I will work further this evening and upload the rom afterwards. Think this will remain a test build for some time, till Tony or DJ can fix the errors.
Stay tuned!
Any video or screenshot? xD
Sorry for nob request, but working well or not, its great to our comunity
p.s. if need tester in future, you, TheMysteryouse or DJNoXD.

Awesome news buddy! Lollipop on first power dual core android device! Switch to 1+ One as a primary phone for some reason but I will continue to follow and supporto you!
That is great!!! ))))))))
Ok. I have to go one step back. The rom is not ready for the testers and I'm too tired to test more. For those, who want to repeat my steps or want to finish...
I replaced the files in Mystery's rom with my own Kitkat ones. The first half, than the second. Now I could get it to finish the booting process. This steps I went on and on. So I could reduce the problem to the framework-files in "system". If you replace all of them, it boots up with some error messages.
I think we have to reduce the 40 files inside more and more to find the reason for the bootloop.
All the best to you,my friends!
Damm this is great a device from 2010 receives android L. 4years later. If I can borrow the old optimus 2x from my father then I could also look into the problems if it's not booting yet then. Till then continue your work.
Hi everyone,
Are there still any kernel developers present for our device?
It would be possible to have Xperia Sony SP 4.4.4 Kitkat, but we need to develop a kernel for that.
DeathZeroFx is also busy making it, but I was wondering if there are more people who are interested.

Since we do have cm11(4.4.4) I don't understand what changes are needed as the base kernel would remain the same(3.4.y). Atmost it would need ramdisk changes. Drivers and blobs are @4.3 and since proprietary can't really change.
