Hi,
i have a Xperia Z1 with non-unlockable Bootloader. I just love AOSP-Roms but those Roms are just for UB. But can someone make a AOSP-Rom for LB? I think many Users would love that...
Please post questions in the Q&A section,
Thread moved
And to answer your question. No, it needs an unlocked bootloader as AOSP roms require a different kernel to the stock Sony one.
Just to add to the above answer: no, the kernel is different so therefore since you cannot flash a custom kernel on LB, you won't be able to use AOSP.
I think he means use Sony kernel but try port aosp to sonys firmware
And why it work for xperia sp?

well apparently you can flash kernel on LB on xperia SP, not on Z1.
If you think otherwise, show us how it's done

Well i can see that all of that "features" can be made only with root access and Xposed framework modules, and few mods.
Deep in framework, rom is still close to sony stock rom.
For example, everything you can make with apps or mods, except OTA update (for pac), and CM themes.
Everything else is pretty much on google play, and some mods on XDA.
If you want pure AOSP feel, you need to unlock bootloader, this is, how to say, kang version of PAC.
If you say me how to get the flip settings from AOSP on 4.4.4 i would be happy
There is an xposed mod for it

There are many things that I like in the stock rom: I like the battery life, the Walkman, the camera, the Xperia Z launcher.
The only thing I really hate is the Xperia dialer/contacts app. Badly designed (especially the starred section and the contacts), also looks like ****.
Since we have a Jelly Bean stock kernel, is it possible to install the AOSP dialer/contacts app over it somehow?
My phone is locked, so please don't advise me to install CM10.
Why don't you take a backup and try it?
Also, have you looked in the theme and app section? There are some very good dialer/phone/contact mods in there.

Sorry, but idk how... gapps doesn't include the dialer/contacts app, so I'm not sure how to even get the APK's.

Yes I have, and there are none that would come close to the usability and elegant design of the AOSP dialer. Most of them are just reskins of the Sony dialer.

Hi,
Sorry novice question but, is it possible to install some of the stock Sony Apps onto a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod? I am running CyanogenMod at the moment and I love it, fast, stable, and without much battery drain. I would love to be able to use the Sony stock camera though.
Is it possible, like installing Gapps, but Sapps?
Thanks
Hi,
apps from Sony "usually" need SONY's own framework. Sadly, the framework itself is not opensourced and cannot be used on other roms.
This is the reply you would usually get when asking other rom developers. Sadly, its true tho.

Hi!
I was wondering, is it possible in some way to download the latest Android version from Google servers and somehow install the Nexus image on Z1?
I love my Z1, but I really, really, don't need the Sony stuff on it (Yeah, I'm a purist). All i need to function is the camera (and of course the necesseties like WLAN, BT, making a phonecall etc, but I assume these are "standard" drivers that will work?)

I don't know where to begin with this,....
No, No and NO
There's no way to cross flash other devices firmware. What you can do is root your phone and just delete the sony stuff you don't need.

You could always flash Cyanogenmod or Omni Rom, they're both very close to stock Android

It shouldn't though. There custom ROMs which work on the TX (Android 4.4.4) and that don't come with Sony's bloated OS/Apps.
Then it's time i suppose to start theming an AOSP rom :victory:

Sure.
Comliled with O3 flags as well, means its much more smooth than any stock rom.
I will include a complete Z2 framework port, as well as all AOSP apps either themed to look like Sony ones or replaced with original Z2 ports.
However, performance and stability have maximum priority for me, so I will only add bugfree Xperia apps and retain ART compatibility.
Working around 90 hours on this project now, but now there are only two more apps to be themed and I'll release it.
You'll like it guys
EDIT: Check next page for some screenshots
Check these images to get a taste of what is about to come.
Lets change to custom rom.
Sent from my LT25i using XDA Free mobile app
We have custom roms with KitKat, and soon to be modified acquiring Sony interface, but is only themed
They are not the original flavor of Sony Kitkat Roms
But is it, to have nothing
I am very sad really
And to think that my Xperia neo has the true interface from Xperia Z2 with KitKat ....

This camera stuff will bloat the rom unnecessarily and break ART compatibility in addition. I'll not include it by default, nor any of the other "nice to have" apps like Sketch etc.
You may however flash any of the ported Z2 stuff that runs on other AOSP roms (there are enough flashable zips around)..
I will then include an index in my rom thread with working media app packages (based on user reports) and let all of you choose what they want.. Performance or a little more stock rom feeling.
And about Z2 lockscreen.. Tried it, but it seems to be incompatible with Omni. If there is enough interest in my rom I'll put more time into this project.
Might even try to add Z2 SmallApps and taskswitcher. :good:

I will need to write a book if i need to explain to you.
But i simple words, "looks" aren't ported. They are just remade to mockup the same experience. Apps can be ported thanks to a general Sony framework
But the whole ROM of Marshmallow? Then impossible. Because there is no public source of the sony android. Therefore no one can port anything.
If you want your phone to look like an Xperia and also want to use the Xperia apps, I will guide you to a simple flashable zip that will allow you to install Sony apps from play store. Then if you use CM, you can install an Xperia theme. So far Marshmallow theme hasn't yet surfaced, but a Lollipop one can be find a lot on the Internet, and a lot of them are supported on CM13's theme engine

Thank you for your kind reply and am sorry for asking such dumb question. Actually am new to custom rom world and xda so I thought one thing from mobile can be another mobile... LOL :silly:
Anyway, I once installed CM 12.1 from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan but it lacks sony apps (walkman and album is all I need). By flashable zips, you mean to say that I can install on CM 12.1 and those apps will get updates if any come in the future?
Also, what is the difference between CM11, 12.1 and 13?
Waiting for your reply.

It's okay, there are plenty to learn
Of course it will lack SONY apps, because the ROM is a custom ROM. Custom ROM is very different in nature from stock ROM. And yes, by flashable zip, you can install any of SONY apps and gets update from the Play Store However, keep in mind, some DRM-sensitive features like the Sony Music (used to be walkman) Songs Information downloader will no longer exist, since, well, you already wiped your DRM keys from your TA Partition during bootloader unlock..
Here is the link to the Sony framework zip on Mega: https://mega.nz/#!wwURzAyI!lMNndMjEvZoKCYHo_oJ-SXq1oM9jQLvlcnCRIa2Vdzs
The difference between the cm11, cm12.1 and cm13 is the Android versions.
cm11 means Android 4.4.*
cm12 means Android 5.0.* [no longer exists]
cm12.1 means Android 5.1.*
cm13 means Android 6.*

I have already given you the link to the framework zip. Please re-read and try to understand my last explanation
After flashing the zip, you will have to go to play store and search for the Sony apps you wanted.
About the recommendation part, I have no idea as I personally are not using cm. However, for the question of "12.1 or 13", I'd recommend for you to go for 12.1 if you prefer stability, over bleeding-edge (cm13)
