THIS IS URGENT
I'm in dire need of help, this is for my gf's phone,
It all started when she was suffering with lack of space on her phone, so I tought well, AOSP roms occupy less space so I went and installed a Maclaw's rom, the one with CM10.2, she says it phone have a battery life of 1 to 3 hours with this rom, so I tried a CM11 rom and she now has a decent battery life but with constant reboots.
The thing is she is going on a 20 day trip tomorrow with her family and I wanna give her something stable with a good battery life, I dont care if its AOSP or stock based actually, I just want something stable until she gets back and I can deal with that situation. If its an AOSP based better, but I need a stable one with a good batery life, something that wont leave her hanging by a thread when she is on the road, please help!

CM 10.2 and CM 11 are working flawlessly and completely bug-free. You shouldn't get any reboots nor a poor battery life. I'm getting about 12-14 hours of intense use with kitkat.
Slimrom is not so optimized as cm 11, which is actually the last and more up-to-date rom that maclaw realeased. Try again. Are you following all the steps? Try a clean install, format system, data, cache, and dalvik-cache. Or you could just simply flash odin. Tell us how it went later

Hi there.
I been spending several hours reading user's opinions about several roms for the xsp.
I saw plenty of unofficial roms based on cyanogenmod official roms. And the question that pops into my mind it's.
Why so many mods? People doesn't like the official releases?
Also I been reading that 5.1 roms are laggy, and in a custom rom i'm looking for stability and performance.
Maybe I should go for and official cyanogenmod 11 rom?
Maybe for a stock based rom?
What do you think?
Hello.
Yes, there is a lot of rom for SP. But just a few work as it supposed to.
Lollipop it is in his nightly stage, though is very stable and the most recent apps, you will be able to use.
There is too a recent patch for security, we should take in consideration, Im using myself as a daily driver without problems, nevertheless still have some minor bugs, but nothing that cant make you wish to throw your SP on wall
If you want to test and see how looks like, I would recommend Sabermod Unofficial Or CM 12.1 Official Nightly
cm12.1+ addons imo cuz it's my second full month on it and it never failed me ....no problems for me and great performance

battery is good too yep
Go for CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies with addons...Its Best for lollipop based ROMs.
You can try unofficial CM13 also if you can use the phone without camera. Battery life and performance of CM13 is far better than cm 12.1.
To be honest, is a matter of usage and preference. For me it was working fine but my phone got way too hot for my taste, but the deal breaker was that no matter what lolipop ROM I used facebook HD playback was choppy as hell. I know that it sounds silly but that's something that I need. None of these issues exist on stock, of course (C5306 - 1.205)
I think the Sabermod unofficial takes the lead on cm12.1 ... Great battery and butter smooth. I think it' s the for performance and battery !
I use official CM11 slimmed by me, without gapps, disabled LogCat, little modified build.prop + WilliamsPLUS and I'm really happy ; p
which 5.1 rom has fewer lag and more batterylife?
@beodo
A sea of roms but many of them are discontinued or not updated, so first check that one.
As fellow members said CyanogenMod 12.1 Unofficial SaberMod with add ons is the best right now for me as well, very fast, really fluid,stable and good battery life, in is some parts is even better than the latest official stock rom.
I m using this rom for over a month and i love it.
If you need even better battery life you could use Helium kernel (just dirty flash at recovery) and enable conservative governor, if you would like to take it further you can also install xposed framework which unlocks you much more features like power saving better experience, extra customization and more.
All of the above are continuously updated and supported by our great developers too :good:
@iceweek
The above answers you question as well
Thinking about trying this one.

Is this one stable for daily use?
Also, do I have to download Latest Xperia Apps Installer.zip if I am using latest ultimate zip?

Finally I followed your advice and it works like a charm, thank you!
I've been using CM12 Sabermod for a few months now but lately my phone has started to lag a lot, I've experience the same problems with other Lollipop based ROMs too. I never had this problem in 4.3 but I had to move to 5.1 since some apps that I use daily required KitKat or higher.
So my question is - is there any good KitKat ROM for XSP? If yes, how can I get the best performance for multitasking?
Before change to KK, I should ask: Do you already flash the most recent build?
Another is: Have yout try move apps to SD card?
Another one: Try to clean Cache on the Settings -> Storage (and then Reboot)?
And Clean cache of some apps too manually.
Remembering that to flash a the most recent build, you doesnt need to Backup, BUT... Just for convenience do it.
If none of those above options function well for you, indeed there is a stable and fast KK to our lovely (and hated) SP.
Options I recommend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64991746&postcount=1320
Or
Last release from CM Team
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=snapshot
Both are great in performance and multitask like the JB 4.3 Stock.
Is there a good one which has Stock features? As in it has the basic Sony apps. They were quite nifty.

Another good one was http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...anogenmod-11-locked-bootloader-users-t2868398 before I unlocked bootloader.
I havent tried CM13 but cm12.1 never worked out for me properly, either low amount of ram/no deep sleep or other problems such as wifi.
Ok I'll try them out. But I'm looking for something based on the Xperia stock OS.

Hi, a clean wipe should be enough. I did factory reset / wipe data, format system, cache and data, wipe dalvik, then install in that order:
OmniX-Rom, recommended gapps, SU-update. Please confirm to fix super user when asked, then reboot into system. First boot will take some minutes (less than 5).
Which recovery do you recommend I flash for this?

I would try that rom if the led bar was working exactly as it does in the stock firmwares (you know, receiving phone calls, viewing images, making a call etc.). There isn't a way to duplicate that functionality level since it's cyanogenmod-based, right?
i ask about which is the best rom from both ? specifically for battery
my using is : facebook and whatsapp .
battery life:cm13>los 14.1
smooth:los 14.1>>>cm13
I used sultan cm13 last week without problems ..shifted to nougat & flashed sultan cm13 again. Everything works gr8 but when I share photos through WhatsApp the device restarts . Can anyone provide the firmware link (not the 1.4 GB)
Specifically for "Battery" ? Use stock ROM.
I installed both tried both, If you are looking for battery , more specifically screen on time, then go for official OS. Official Nougat 4.1.3 gives me 5-8 hours screen on time, depending on use. Sultan ROM lineage 14.1 sometimes heats up, battery backup seems 4-6 hours merely.

Must be something you're doing wrong. I've got as high as 10 hours SOT, and definitely over 6 hours "all the time". I have literally stopped using custom roms in the long run since I experienced OOS. Yes I hop on to different roms to test, but so far nothing beats OOS in terms of battery life, smoothness and definitely no bugs.
About sultan rom, dude, I don't know when the hype will finally be laid to rest. I have no clue if the fanboys ever actually "'compared" it extensively. I've done extensive tests long time back with my OnePlus one, and all I found that it's just a plain old hype, made a big comment in boeffla kernel thread back in the OPO days and even Andi agrees to the hype. Haven't tested lately, so it will be unfair if I judge on how good or bad the ROM is for OP3T, but I sure know what to expect. Get down of the hype train, test for yourself in different usage patterns. SOT isn't everything of course. Your usage determines it.

Hello there i'm using RR 6 unofficial by Arasthel https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=249040
Is FaceUnlock working for you? i got errors in logcat and it's not working for me.
here my setup :

edit after 2 weeks, rom is great and battery life is good, not issues at all except faceunlock not working and my usb headphones not working for calls but working for everything else.
Same issue for me. I tried faceunlock magisk module because it works fine with RR 6.0 on my s7 edge
Awesome !
ATM, is enought stable to use it as a daily driver? I mean, calls and camera (i don't want super quality, just something working) works ?
