Hello,
I have just read that Android was the most vulnerable OS in 2016, and I feel concerned as a user of Z1 Stock ROM (based on Lollipop 5.1.1) version 14.6.A.1.236, released in 2015.
I was wondering if updating official rom from Sony with security updates released by Google on Android 5.1.1 is a project that the community could do?
I haven't found yet any tutorial to do it on xperia or any "obsolete" smartphone.
I know security is a main purpose of Jaguar Rom (by @optimumpro) but I would like to keep an Android Stock base (for camera & stability).
Thank you.

Since the source code for Android Lollipop has been released, would it be possible to port stock Android Lollipop over to this device?

Now I am running android 5.1.1 aosp by Ivan
Can someone give the features of android M ??
Thank you!!!!
Learn what your talking about first. They released a developer preview. It is not a complete rom and none of the source is released. You will have to wait until the winter or maybe linger.
Huh, Android M is just announced, and it is just a preview build only for developers to adapt their apps for the new OS. The usable version will be released in around October or November. The devs can port android to us only after that.
The source of M has not been released yet. So there won't be any M based rom for now.
Go to Android Police website, they post lots of M features in recent articles.
We have to wait the official release by Google... I hope they fixed the battery consumption
Has anyone tried building this yet?

Could this mean we get an official AOSPA build for the Z, when Android M lands?
That binaries aren't for XZ. Z have only Kitkat binaries published, so we need to wait for official Android 6 rollout with source
Yeah I realised that some of the reports I'd read were false listing the Z, so annoying as I was going to build it on my linux box at work.
Someone told Android M 6.0 is'nt supported for XZ.
I'm not really familiar with building ROM's but isn't it possible to make a port of the ROM Google uploaded for it's nexus devices?
Nope, it's not possible. Android 6 release date is 29 september, so we can wait this 2 weeks to start anything with new candy
Hi,
first of all I would like to thank Hennymcc for releasing CM12.1 for the G800F at all.
I was wondering why the latest update is from mid-August, so vital security patches are not included in this ROM.
Is there still an active development in this project?
My wife bought this device a few days ago, and I was really surprised that there does not seem to exist a recent version of CM12.1 for
this (I believe) popular device.
Does anyone have further information regarding this matter?
Thank you.
Best regards,

Cm12.1 development is dead i think
because they're working on cm13 now
Not entirely dead, we'll see what happens if and when official Lollipop rolls out...
It is great that he already works on Marshmallow for the G800F, but let's see what the current situation is:
We can choose between stock-4.4.2 from the stone-age or CM12.1 from mid-August 2015.
Of course, CM12.1 is newer, but the most important security fixes are still missing, so currently the G800F cannot be declared as safe.
It would be great if he could release a CM12.1 version (just one) with the current fixes shortly.
When Samsung (if they do it at all...) will release the official Lollipop-ROM, these security fixes will surely be fixed, and there
will be (from the security standpoint) no need for an updated CM12.1 or even CM13, except for the bloatware or when new security issues will arise after that.
Guys, I would like to extend my Xperia V for another 2 years perhaps, please mention best and stable build for daily use, since there are many builds out there and I am confused. Please note that I am not a techie and I don't want to install upcoming builds either. I just wanted to bring my device from old android (jelly bean) which is not supported to latest android(at least lollipop) so that I can install latest apps.
Note: Also please mention if there are any issues in your recommended build compared to stock android version for reference. Thank you.
