Battery drain was because of a bug in Google play services.
But after the update of play services as on 27 June I have noiced a decent increase in battery life.
go ahead and update :good:
Hi All, I've previously unlocked bootloader, flashed stock kitkat & rooted my XT1068 (Moto G 2014).
I'm really loving this while 5.0.2 was really lagging & was consuming lots of battery, it's good on kitkat.
But would love to try out any rom if you could suggest me some that could be less battery consumers than the official android releases, may be based on either 4.4.4 or 5.1.1 Have seen lots of rom threads over here but am unable to get the idea regarding battery life
Cm is good in perfrmnce and features and almost stable but battery life will be ok not that great
i'm really bored and i want to try a custom rom on my c6903 but i really don't know witch one is stable and battery friendly. Any sugestions? I want a 5.1.1 , was thinking about CM 12.1 but i saw in the main post that it has some bugs and in fxp thread users said that there is some camera problem.
I was also thinking about it days ago. What is the most installed custom rom by the people of the community?
I will not ask what is the best one, because each one has its particularity, but it would be good if someone could indicate some roms, especially now that we know the Z1 will not get more official updates.
havent noticed any camera problem on cm12.1 roms but a big problem some users had including me was some screen problems..(screen's sensitivity is higher than usual and makes some problems) ... it has great multitasking experience.. good battery life .. lower sound output than official builds on default . I tested many ones and my choice is resurrection rom .its better than others... but i switched to official 5.1.1 pre-rooted with some customization ,became a beast... but i prefer the resurrection but i had screen problem ...
hope i could help you
I am on my Android Lollipop 5.0.2 and I got some lags sometimes after running more apps .
So is Cm13 Fastest than 12 ???
Is it better to official update to Android 6.0 or Flash custom Rom Cm13 for the better perfomance and battery life???
For now Stock 5.0.2 is the most stable with Xposed. CM13 has released but only for single sim phone (for dual sim ril is not working). I've heard AOSP 6.0 has also released but same problem. Well it's your choice (BTW try CM12.1 Snapshot release which is very stable). And yeah try abishek battery guide which also gives a bit of performance also.
Sony said, No more Z1 OTA. sadly.:crying:
So I want to know.
Is it possible to change the 'sony stock' + 'marshmallow'
+ 'custom(like Rockz1l)' + 'porting(z5, X series... Whatever)' rom
in the future?
Sorry for bad Eng.
I wish it is possible.

No, because you need Marshmallow sources from Sony, which they'll never release.
Z1 is done and obsolete. If you really want the latest Android version, download the unofficial CM/AOSP Marshmallow ROMs; otherwise, buy a new phone. Although CM/AOSP MM build has been released a while ago, they're still full of issues (camera is bad, low battery life, etc.). They're still under active development, so things may change in the future. I recommend staying with Lollipop because it's stable and has excellent battery life.

Thanks for your help.
I'm on 5.1.1 Kai rom + rockz1l kernel.
and I love sony features.(DSEE HX, Sony camera...)
So, I wish what I said, but it can't....sadly :crying:
maybe, buy used Z2 or X series is best choice in current situation.

People had success with porting Sense 6 to hammerhead, and it's surprisingly usable with some issues considering it's a non-source port for an entirely different device.
Porting a proprietary ROM is a pain as it mostly involves trial-and-error to find out what's preventing the ROM from booting up but we will see if a similar project appear for the Z1
