Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

Alin, could you please provide a very brief overview about what is expected to work and what is known to be broken in these builds?
And of course thank you for your efforts in trying to make AOSP available, I really appreciate that.
Wifi has been also fixed

no answer?
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
Hello, I'm thinking about purchasing this phone since I found a good deal on it, and I like the specs on it. The only disappointing thing it seems, there are no official or unofficial roms? I'm experienced with compiling and things of that nature, I've done plenty of Linux From Scratch builds, even compiling a package manager from another distro to maintain it. How hard would it be to port LineageOS 16 to the Xperia X Performance? Are there any binary blobs that are necessary, and where would I get them?
Hi, good thread. The Xperia X Performance is maintained by Sony Mobile on their Open Devices program, so it shouldn't be difficult at all if you're a programmer. In fact, Sony has released the AOSP binaries for Android 9:
https://developer.sony.com/develop/...d-functionality/supported-devices-maintained/
And of course, any Xperia in the Open Devices list, has instructions available over at Sony Mobile, how to unlock the bootloader and so on. So LineageOS 16 should be a piece of cake, for the open source developers who know their stuff. I'd personally like to install LineageOS on my Xperia X Performance.
What about android Q? Any chance to have a ROM based on that on this phone?

Hey mate.. have some patience.. pixel experience rom has started making Official Android 10 for xperias...
Models from Xperia XZ Premium till latest Xperia 5 (in order of their release).. which obviously contains XZ1 Compact..
They have already released Official ROM for XZ3, XZ2 and XZ2 Compact. More coming soon..
Cheers !
Judging by the fact that the builds for newer Xperia devices are based on Sony AOSP this one will likely be as well. So one needs to keep it in mind it might not be completely stable (like Sony AOSP 10). At least for some time.
I have made unofficial android 10 ..

@Val81
Hi,so today i would like to find out about Project Treble and the upcoming Android 11 release. Has anyone tried either with their XZ2 device? Is it possible to get either on our device and what all does this entail? Also,is it worth it?
