The guy who did the Sailfish OS port was working on the Halium port, but he stopped some time ago. You can try his Sailfish port if you are looking for an alternative OS. Its pretty stable with the major downside being no android app support.

[Dev] Porting maru os to Sony Xperia ZR?

Dear developers,
first of all I would like to thank you all for your great work and keeping our Sony Xperia ZR alive.
A few weeks ago I came across the terrific project maru os. So far it only exist for a few devices but it looks very promising. It literally turns the phone into a desktop PC while having android and Linux running on it.
I am not a programmer myself and sadly are not able to offer any help but it would be great if somebody with the skills and experience would feel encouraged to port maru os to the ZR. As far as I know the ZR is capable of mhl and therefore would be a great candidate for maru os.
At the moment somebody is working on the sony Xperia z3. Maybe it could be helpful for the development.
As I am a new member I actually can't post links to the project page, github repository or some great YouTube videos. But I suppose a search engine of your choice will help you
Looking forward for some thoughts and ideas
What does the community think? Would Maru OS be something you would be personally interested?
I wrote a PM to Daedroza and he seemed generally interested in the project but made at the same time clear that he is at the moment occupied with lineage 14.1. He might be able to port maru os in a few months.
Happy to see some thoughts of other ZR users.
Here are some links for those interested in the project:

Enjoy! Happy watching and reading
Dear folks,
one very talented dev of Maru os is asking at the moment the community to which device he shall port next (he ported already to the G4 and HTC 10). There might be a chance that if enough ZR users upvote our device we might see it come alive.
Please show your interest in this thread:

Thanks and have a nice day
I see it is supported in official LOS builds too , and this is great .
My question is if you flash Lineage OS 14.1 ( https://download.lineageos.org/dogo ) into your Xperia ZR , does MHL cable works to display over HDMI ?
In another words , have you tested that using Lineage OS , you have image over HDMI ?

As far as I am concerned mhl is only working in the stock ROM. Another ZR user reported the non working mhl as well in the lineage 14.1 thread.
Only for your information, as this thread looks very lonely I just got in the last hour some more replies from people who are ready to test

Proposal to create CM 12.1

I want to suggest those who understand in porting firmware, do CyanogenMod 12.1. I think it's easier to port it than CM 13 or 14. The main thing is to find a donor for the port, on XDA I saw a topic where the guy offered to make a port with the Samsung SM-G531H Galaxy Grand Prime VE Duos. i am badly understand about ports, but the most important thing is to offer

The most important thing is that the firmware has risen on the smartphone, and to withdraw from bootloop, this is a matter of time

Device Tree?

Hi, I have a questions:
At least one developer is working on the device tree? Has someone already tried to port custom firmware? How long to wait for the first custom?
Developers, please mark in the comments(?)!

The developer, Randomblame , is working on it. You can use GSIs in the mean time, ones like phh AOSP, AOSiP, ArrowsOS do support fingerprint.

Kelsi is the only capable person we have right now unfortunately. She is working on kernel rn as you can see in the development section. As soon as her device tree will become close to stable i'll start doing build for 2-3 roms for Mi 9 as well (although I can't be much more than a buildbot).

Bro its not possible on this phone as the kernel source has not been released by xiaomi yet.
Xiaomi uses GPL like it's toilet paper. Because of this, almost one year after the device's release we don't have source code available yet. Fortunately available custom Android-based ROMs work because the chipset is kinda popular, but there's no WIP for a Sailfish OS port.
