As marshmallow has been officially launched on certain xperias, is someone working on it to port it to SP?
It will be awesome.
It really is could be a great thing. However, fundamentally and technically, this is impossible....

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.*

Going to install CM 12.1 or 13 tomorrow. Can you please share SONY ALBUMS, MUSIC, VIDEOS and SKETCH flashable zips so I can get updates in future.

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)

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 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 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

That is not something I know. I only have tried it on CyanogenMod Official builds.
I can only assume it might, I just don't personally run anything but the Official builds or my own Unofficial builds (that are not posted or really any different than CMs right now).

If you flash the snapshot on a CM13 NIGHTLY it will have issues. This is the whole reason for 2 versions.
One for SNAPSHOT CM13 builds and one for NIGHTLY builds.

@ZX64 Would you be willing to make a zip for the snapshot builds that has just the cool blurred lockscreen, Maxx, Gallery Next, and Theme chooser? And it'll work with Sultan's CAF builds, correct?

Okay so..
A: I do not know what to pull to get the COS lockscreen with blur. That is why it is not listed as an included feature.
B: I will not flash Sultans build even for testing bugs. I ONLY support Cyanogen/CyanogenMod official ROMs or my own personal builds I don't upload or release anymore.
So any other ROMs.. They're hit or miss and I will not change my packages for them.
If you feel a need to change them.. You can easily do so with basic understanding of English and RAR (Play Store).
Sorry but I've learned the hard way about compensating for Custom ROMs. It gets too crazy too fast.
These are as universal as it'll get.
Which version should I use for Sultan's ROM?
I want just cortana and themes
Need I any others libs put somewhere into system? Because cortana and even themes don't work.
Is cortana worth anyway?
I know you don't support custom roms but let's say I have official cm build and want only cortana what should I do?

Another way to find the files you need to remove is to look in the addon.d folder. The script lists every file installed, and backed up for ota update compatibility.
If I remember right.. All the maxxaudio files are in a group so you'd only have a list of what to remove

Tips and Tricks:
- install Naptime by Francisco from Playstore. One of the best app to be ever released IMO.
- Install xda edition BatteryStats app to monitor your device.
- If your device is not going to Deep Sleep state(Stock issue with latest Play Services) then install Disable Service app from Playstore and go to Google Services Framework and check SystemUpdateService. You might have to do this after every reboot.
- sometimes after reboot(continuously rebooting...like when I try to customize my layers theme and I have to reboot every time just to apply or delete) , when you open PlayStore, It says background data disabled although its not. Just removed PlayStore from recent apps and re-open PlayStore. It should work fine now.
updated.
Only Stock for now.

Hi,
Any chances for an odex, non-rooted build of Android N, when Google uploads the source code to AOSP?
