Hello fellas,
My girlfriend have a Xperia E Dual on stock JB and everything is slow, laggy and freeze sometimes. I tried disabling some apps, removing them from RAM, managing start up applications and nothing seems to be very effective.
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 and also had some lag on stock ROM and thanks to the xda community which offers plenty of ROM's for this device, I'm running a perfectly stable version of CM of Android 4.2.2 and have no lags since.Then, I came to the Xperia E forums to find a ROM to give a better performance to the phone. But for my surprise there's not an official version of CM and neither much stable options for this phone, and also I'm kinda lost in this forums due to amount of phones in the same sub forum.
My first question is, which is the most stable and will give me a better performance for the Xperia E Dual?
How is the easiest and complete method for installing? In my tablet I had to root it, install CWM from Play Store, put the .zips in the SD card and flash through CWM. But I have seen that for this phone the process is quite harder, something related with Fastboot and some cmd commands
Can someone provide me some links and fool-proof information to flash a new ROM?
Thanks in advance and greetings from Brazil!
First, Consider Rooting your phone through here http://unlockroot.com
After that unlock your bootloader here http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
When doing the rooting I'm sure you already know that Enabling USB debugging and Unknown Sources is a must
Then install CWM and install CM, And of course CM 10 is unofficial build but still works fine and there is a slight error about the Signal carrier labeling "Unknown"
Please hit thanks if i helped

Hello, after a good two weeks of frustration and a soft-bricked phone, I'm happy to say that I've finally managed to root my first phone, with huge thanks to various threads on here.
I now, however, have run into another problem. Firstly, I'm using an Xperia Z3V, Android version 4.4.4 w/ build 23.0.E.0.376. I've downloaded BusyBox, ROM manager, ROM Toolbox Lite, and Titanium Backup (all suggested from another thread here). What I'm trying to accomplish is setting up a recovery w/ CWM, but according to ROM manager, my phone isn't supported, nor can I update my ROM (which I'm assuming is because I'm on stock ROM).
How would I go about getting CWM? Would I need Cyanogen, or another ROM in general? Or is the Z3V currently just not supported? Is it necessary to have CWM if I, say, just plan on using my phone for normal activities (I.E., Facebook, YouTube, Emails, etc.). The only thing outside of normal use would be upgrading to Marshmallow.
Thank you, again, for the tremendous help.
Hi
As explained here, XZDualRecovery should work fine on your device.
Please check this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/xperia-z3v-general/guide-sony-xperia-z3v-t3100402
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist,
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

I tried systemless root and after that my phone was only showing sony logo for sec. I tried to install this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4...aosp-7-1-1-sony-xperia-m4-aqua-ss-ds-t3558111
it kind of woks but not for daily use. After that i tried CyanogenMod 13.0 but I need original system and with it my phone only loops with sony logo. If anyone knows hot to flash/install original android version or rom that could be used daily it would be huge help.
thank you for your help.

There are a few stock roms in your devices Android Development section in the forum you could try. Here's a random one I spotted that seems like a good option:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/m4-aqua/development/rom-6-0-1-xperia-m4-aqua-t3423264
The key is to go with a stock, or stock-based, rom for the best stability.
Or you could reflash the actual, official, stock rom from Sony themselves. They have a tool called Xperia Companion that can reflash the latest rom on any Xperia device with a locked bootloader: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/xperia-companion/
If your bootloader's unlocked, you might be able to use "Emma" instead: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/
Hope this helps!
Hello,
Basically I'm trying to root my XZ(F8331) and trying to install a rom, but I've got a bit of an issue and need a complete backup of the entire phone before I proceed to root and rom the phone (as from my understanding it will wipe everything on my phone). So how would I go about doing so ? I'm on 7.1.1 and honestly cannot tolerate how slow my phone has become, also rom suggestions are welcome(looking for a stable, fast rom with a working camera). If there are other similar posts please link me them and I'll close this thread.
Thank you
I have been given a brand new z3 from a friend who found one in a drawer at work. Build 23.0.A.2.93. Kernel Version 3.4.0
I've not had an android device since about 2012 so am out of the loop. Been reading up on here a bit to see what I should do and am looking for a little advice to help speed up the process.
Should i update the phone to the latest stock everything prior to rooting or should I go with an earlier version?
I'd like to run nougat on it. Looks like lineage is the most regularly updated version so I will most likely go with that. What is the best kernel to use though? I like to mess about with voltage and clock speeds etc.
and links to appropriate threads would be appreciated. My friend has made me nervous about bricking the phone as he seemed to indicate that sony phones are harder to root than most
Any help would be appreciated
- Ok. im running lienageos 15.0 right now like 3 days. kernel is jsut stock i guess , no overclocking etc, 2.5 ghz, smooth , snappy perfomance and no bugs, but battery drain just a bit, but its normal. s

-Root ur phone by unlocking ur bootloader with flashtool , and flash recovery with flashtool too, and download the rom that u want, but first u need to update ur phone to the latest release , use Xperia
Companion , and click Software Update, just follow the instruction or u can update directly from ur phone settings.
Flashtool : http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php (don't forget to replace the x10flasher.jar)
TWRP : https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/recovery-root-mm-575-291-lb-t3435214 (i follow that tutorial and it worked for me)
i know its already late , but maybe other people can find this useful. just wanted to help
last real good kernel is the ones from shadowelite for MM(6.0) its a full advanced kernel and u can cotroll the OC and voltage along with other awesome features. bad that after that no more costume kernels appeared, only stock ones in LOS with only basic features. but Android O gets much love at the moment.
