Hello i have been wondering since my last phone (Xperia X8 (my first android device)) why in custom roms the most common bug is the mallfunctioning Fm Radio >?
Is it hard to modify or something ?
If im not mistaken is in the AOSP sources an official FM radio not present. I think that the most factories add it? (Im no expert in this but this sounds the most logical)
Hello all,
I have had my z3 compact for quite a long time, and i am starting to get tired of the stock sony firmware. I have been looking at the forums for a while now, to figure out which custom firmware i want to run. The thing is i want a firmware that is either as close to stock as possible, AOSP or a CM 12.1 rom.
I Just can't seem to figure out which bugs are present i which builds, and i'm having a hard time finding a bug tracker that's usable for me.
Do any of you guys know of a rom with a minimum of bugs that can be used as a daily driver?
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
Hi what is the state of these Android 7.0 custom ROMs I have seen some available but what are the current bugs?
Does the camera work and etc?
I tried compiling using the instructions here: http://developer.sonymobile.com/ope...uild-aosp-nougat-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/ - ended up getting a "(remote: size too large)" on the userdata.img, and couldn't boot the phone. I might try again some other time, see if I can get a basic build working.
Has anything changed in the last month?
The Xperia Z3 Compact looks like my ideal phone... but not if there's no support for new ROMs on it.
Hello
I'm a kind of noob in the dev world but I had a question. Provided that my Moto X 2014 has aptx codex, which is really useful, what would happen if I root it and flash another Rom? Would aptx be still active or replaced with A2dp (or something else!) ? What if I just root it and install Xposed with modules?
Briefly, is Aptx definitely there, or could it stop working because of a Rom? Does this Rom need to support it in some way?
Thanks!!
