Can anyone intrested in porting xperia roms to atrix hd? im currently trying to do this and any help is welcomed...
working on it when i can
if you need any materials or have any specific questions just let me know. I have been working on it my self and i think that since we have a leak of stock 4.2.2 on I might be able to getting it booting soon. I can pm you a link when I get it up of a test build if you are interested in testing.

Hardest part is going to be resizing all the xxhdpi images down to xhdpi. Once that's done port it like normal. There's only 490 some odd porting guides here on XDA, so have fun and good luck.
For just the launcher...XDA user Rizal Lovins has some pretty bad ass XZ launchers, Sony mods, etc. I used to use his Z launcher back when I ran stock.

I've wanted to do the same thing with our Stock Launcher actually. I like our Stock Launcher...one of the better ones around. Circles and the Power Pane....I still find myself swiping over to it just to find an empty launcher page.

Our lockscreen in built into either framework-res or systemui...and settings too....also, this thread should be anywhere except the dev threads...thought it was under Q&A earlier....I'm not keen on lockscreen mods so about all I can do to help ya from here is to google search for ya.

I found a system dump for the xperia sp on the xperia z thread here on xda so not to much resizing should be needed. biggest issue for me right now is time but within the next few days I should be able to get a booting version going. as far as how to do it like skeevydude said there are a ton of porting guides here on xda that can get you going in the right direction.
PS. I plan on going very close to stock xperia by using parts of a xperia sp system dump and the leaked 4.2.2 for the xperia z.

Just a heads up, I reported this thread because it should have been in another section...plus this is pretty much useless now that you've started another dev thread without a rom or dev work in it.
Congrats on the port, btw....I wanted to do something like this in the past, but a few days after I decided on doing that our bootloaders were unlocked and the rest is history.
Good guy skeevy. Letting him know you did that. Most people wouldn't lol. I agree though I saw that and was like o man another ckkkiller. Don't know how to report on mobile though.

And I'll report the other one in the morning if a rom hasn't showed up on in by then...we don't need placeholder or reserved threads...not like we only have 100 threads to use and that's it. Its one thing dropping a rom and reserving posts 2-5, not an actual thread saying its coming eventually.
Actually, I\we\everyone needs to just go thru and clean the threads up sometime....a lot of things just don't need to be here anymore. Kinda wish it was a bit easier to do house cleaning around here....at least the ability to report multiple posts in the same thread at once...we do tend to get a bit off topic around here.
Hello dear XDA peeps!
On my previous android phones I felt the need to root and and install other roms because they where slow and had so much crapware on them them but with the lovely Xperia Z I felt the need yet now I'm getting curious tho. Can the the be faster, have more features, better battery and such with a new rom? Will I notice any any changes?
Another question, I read that 4.3 is on its way, both the official and the CM one. How close is that?
Thanx in advance!
about the first question i dont know im still stock
and 4.3 i guess in 2 - 3 months

I don't think it will take that long. There is a working CM on 4.3 in ZL-forum.
Sony Xperia ZL C6503, rooted, 4.2.2 Stock
I wondering about the existing 4.3 roms now, wonder if they are worth trying?
The 4.3 superdroid rom works really well and the pac rom 4.3 is only a couple of days away.. All in all i have noticed battery life improvements the focal camera is superb and all the things you can tweak now a days is definitely worth leaving the stock experience behind and never looking back..
Sent from my C6603
I'm on a CM based ROM (Asylum), it's very smooth with no lags anywhere and the battery life is as good as stock with my usage pattern.
The only real downside is that the camera isn't that good compared to the Sony stock one. I've tried out the focal camera and am not that impressed in terms of image quality. Hopefully there will be some improvements.
Also, none of the sound mods work that well with CM ROMs.
I suggest stick to the Sony firmware for the time being if the sound and camera are important to you.
I don't think 4.3 will bring a vastly different user experience.
Edit: viper4android seems to be working on 4.2.2 and below. Haven't tried it though

Ok thanks for the info
Ive read about the sound improvement mods but Ive been to lazy to try any of them. Is there a big difference in sound quality from the non-modded stock rom and the sound mods??
Did anyone tried this ROM, how is the performance? Wi-Fi and Bluetooth works?
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
Seriously, anyone?
It's quite OK. But sound was broken, so it's unusable as a daily driver.
Hmm, planning to get a Xperia T because the CM support, is worth it?
Sent from my Xperia Sola using xda premium
why you not simply take a look into the dev section?
this will answer all your questions
we have
- a nice miui v5
- official omni rom support (already daily usable kitkat 4.4)
- many nice stock sony ui roms
and we will get official sony jb4.3 in december....and MAYBE 4.4....sony confirmed they will test official kitkat on XT.
just look around....from my feeling i wouldnt count so much on cm...i read about many many nightlies had broken stuff (kernel etc.)
but maybe a cm user can tell you more clear details about cm

Better get a XZ, it's newer and I've seen it new for 333€...
I don't really like the stock ROMs because of the apps pre-installed, I like the stability but it has a lot of applications that I don't use. Cyanogenmod has a lot of great apps that comes with like Apollo. And I like the stock Google style, really nice, specially KitKat.
The Omnirom seems nice, gotta flash someday.
And I don't have enough budget to afford a ZX. Got a Xperia Sola, so the T is like a better version of it for me.
That's my opinion, if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.

I really prefer Stock Base ROMs, for battery life,Walkman & cyber shot.

I can't afford a Z1. And I don't need such a monster telephone, I just call, send SMS, install apps, sometimes flashing and app development.
The T is the most accessible for me and it cover all my needs. I asked if the CM11 worked in this phone before buying it.

Yep I recommended this to my friend. Much newer device. Tiny bit bulkier than the T but with many new stuff like default transparent nav bars and also an interesting LED light at the bottom. And of course as mentioned, longer, better support. If you can save up a few more bucks.. the Z/ZR would be the choice.
And regarding your original question, for the T, CM from FXP isn't doing so well. Major bug reports.

No sync with FXP247
Hi,
anybody also has the problem that syncing does not work wit CM11 FXP247? I don't get my contacts, also google maps is not working, no maps are loaded...!?
I like the T : it's camera is very useful thanx to the 13 MP, and it has already lots of internal memory. Besides, they are roughly the same from the configuration.
As there's not really an update planned for "old" phones like the T, I updated it, and as of today I'm on Kitkat, a custom made Omnirom. I had already the CM 10.1.3 stable and was yesterday quite frustrated with the bad built of 10.2 RC1.. And as I have the same bug in two different CM versions, I didn't want to try out another for the moment.

Did you look even once through the Original Android Development forum?
We've got CM11, SlimKat, Beanstalk and AOKP.
I know that at least in CM11 and SlimKat everything works, even though you
have to disable HW Overlays for some things.
But you could have easily found that by yourself in a few minutes.

Ahh sorry i'm kinda new to this...
Whats HW overlays?
I recommend just reading the appropriate threads in the Orig. Dev. Section.
Anyway, I don't know too much about that myself, all I know is that it needs
to be disabled for stuff like VLC to work.

In terms of an actual ROM made by Sony, then No we're only on 4.3.
In terms of AOSP and the like then yea there are a few as some users have already mentioned, 4.4 from Sony should be out soon I would say, there are phones that have it on there which are in development so i can see a leak on it's way quite soon.

4.3 needs a bit of tweaking to be honest, i've noticed my phone gets warmer and it dies quicker when compared to 4.2.2. 4.4 has been rock solid at least on my HTC One, so hopefully the Z1 will follow suit.

Same for a lot of people mate, you do get the odd person who says "Noooooo, I haven't got a single issue 4.3 has been the best ever ever ever"
Well that's great for them but in all fairness i've not done anything different than I did before so it is the OS.
Kitkat has had a fair amount of work put into it, i'd like Sony to take their time with this release and get it perfect, waiting for thing to be patched and optimized is a pain.
Hi,
I'm picking up a Xperia Z1 C6903 for a friend. She basically checks email and takes photos with her phone, so Camera/Video and Battery Life are priority.
Can anyone please recommend a good Rom and/or Mods for me.
I usually get more obscure phones for myself (never had a Sony) without so many options of mods and custom roms, so its a bit harder than I'm used to to sort through the pages on XDA... there so much to go through here so any help to narrow things down a bit for me would be appreciated.
Thanks!

If you /she is not big fan of custom ROM (aospa, paranoid, CM, DU, PAC etc.) I would say just root the phone and use stock ROM.
Stock ROM is best for battery and photos together.
Rooting is good in case she wants Xposed and all the modules.
Don't unlock the bootloader since this will remove some propriety code for display and camera.
I haven't used any stock ROM so can't talk about them.

Thanks, I often find custom roms better for battery life. And can see that there's a few camera mods available. So I assumed a custom rom (either with a Stock based or not?) and camera mod would be the way to go? Also, is the stock camera app the best performer (in terms of image quality?)
Really can't see any need to meddle with the standard rom.
The Xperia range of phones all have outstanding battery life and excellent photo/video software built in as standard.

I was thinking this sound good: [MOD] Z1, Z1C & Z1S 8th Edition - Camera… | Sony Xperia Z1....
And there seems to be a few scripts which claim to improve battery life & speed like Fly-on-Mod...
I guess i'm just not used to stock being the best option!!! I cant help but want to change something
If you want to meddle then root and Xposed would be the simplest option.
But given the original criteria are already met by the standard rom and the fact that it's not your phone I still can't see the need.
Do you really want your friend coming to you with every minor niggle they can dream up, thinking that you caused it by modifying their phone?
Just make sure they upgrade to 5.1.1 which is due out any day now.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
thanks.
I've got it running stock KK, rooted, locked bootloader with xposed & dual recovery.
I decided not to update to LP until 5.1.1 is out (any day now it seems...?) due to slow downs in 5.0.2
From what I can see I'll have to update with Flashtool (if I can find the "Customized AU" file) or updated via Sony PC Companion and re-root & re-install recovery.
will both methods will result in a data wipe?
When it does come out - is there a way to update without loosing here data/settings? & will current rooting methods still work (I used easy root?)
Thanks for your help everyone!
