[Q] Can we use Sony's new ROMs with Xperia L? - Sony Xperia L

Guys I'm just curious and pardon me if this a stupid question. I'm still a newbie for these things.
I have been using Varun's Free Xperia ROM for a while and as much as I love KitKat I do miss the Xperia features.
So can we do some workaround and use Varun's kernel with a rom of Sony's KitKat update like some building new ROMs? So we dont miss the Xperia features too?

I had the exact same question in my mind. But I thought it would be too stupid to ask.

Varun's kernel is only compatible with AOSP 4.4.
You could use Sony Media Apps which are compatible with 4.4
Z2 camera
Z2 widgets & wallpapers

Has sony abandoned xperia l?

Hii, sorry i searched for a thread like this but didn't found one, so if there is a thread already existing like this i apologize for that_
I wanted to ask that has sony abandoned xperia l? so many days but still no news for an android 4.3 update, let alone 4.4_
No stable aosp roms like cyanogen or aokp.. Will it stay like this or what? Does somebody have any news?
My previous phone was samsung galaxy y, which is a low end phone but it has a hell lot of roms and even when the device is discontinued the roms are still developing_i think xperia l has potential.. Can't it support roms like cyanogen (official stable version) ? Hell even xperia m got one, which has only 4gb of internal_
If somebody have any kind of news please reply.. m sick and tired of checking the updates daily_

Xperia L Future?
Hi
I feel the same for the Xperia L, Sony hasn't given an update schedule for it, there are is no news/rumour on either 4.3 or 4.4 for the Xperia L furthermore although we are backed by official CM support the maintainer is a bit quiet in terms of progress, what makes it worse is that the phone is not that popular especially with the SP overshadowing it.
With my previous phones (Xperia X10 mini pro, Xperia X8 & Live with Walkman) the XDA forums were so full of ROMs/mods/everything you would want-they only got better for me. But with the Xperia L it all feels dead - I reckon mostly because of Sony's lack of info on updates-no one wants a phone that has no good update outlook.
I hope that Sony will update our beloved Xperia L to a stable Kit-Kat, not asking for anymore-the phone does deserve it, beautiful hardware at a nice price.
Yea

I too owned Samsung Galaxy Y. It was a very low end device but had many developments. I bought XL due to cost/performance ratio was good. Unfortunately there is so slow development
Sony has no reason to update our phone since it's a mid-range device. That's why we didn't get 4.3 or 4.4.

Yeah I don't think we're gonna be getting anymore updates.
There will be one more major update to our phone.. Mark my words!!
If what I hear is correct, we should get a working CM11 by the end of this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I don't think Sony has abandoned the Xperia L just yet, honestly.
Perhaps they'll release 4.3/4.4.2 for it someday, but be honest: most people buy the flagship models with their contracts (Z, Z Ultra, Z1, Z2) so they prioritize those.
Yeah we get a very nice performance phone at a cheap price but at the cost of slow development
I checked the list of devices which sony has confirmed won't be getting any updates anymore_xperia l isn't in the list..
But it occurs to me that xperia sp and xperia m were launched with xperia l (xperia m a little after i think) but the phones have received major updates_this thought troubles me..
But we can't do nothing.. we just have to be hopeful and wait for the updates i think
Unless some superhero makes the aosp version stable for us_

well, there's no official statement from sony about dropping the support for xperia L and it's still within the 18 months cycle. So, who knows?:fingers-crossed:
can only speculate whether there will be another update or not, but it's just speculations, so . . .
no one but sony can answer "has sony abandoned xperia l?"
other roms like cm, aokp, etc has nothing to do with sony, it depends on the community :victory:
the official cm is currently in "coming soon" section in fxp :victory:
sony had supported the open resource project by giving the kitkat aosp for xperia L i guess..
eventhough it's not good enough for daily use :crying:
btw i check the updates of the development daily too
well, since there's ptcrb updates on xperia M and it's still within 18 months policy
finger crossed :angel:

There's no 4.4 AOSP for our device, we can expect a alpha/beta release of 5.0 AOSP for the next weeks/months but therefore it's not working on dual SIM E3 variants like 2212 for now.

Ok, really it comes to custom roms for sony we always have to be patient because everything always takes a little longer if not for the work of the external dev we would not ever leave the 4.4.2

c1505 - kernel ?

Hey guys,
I have to stay with this oldie for a while; can you point me to the newest CM kernel(download link) for the c1505?
Any ROMs you recommend for this device( also, point me to the download!)? Is there MIUI for this device?
One more thingng, I can't find how they call this device + the merged forums make it difficult to find device-related info- is it Sony E or Sony Ex? I bought it as a replacement phone and I have no idea what I'm dealing with here. ^^''' It's always about J or Tipo or miro- not much for c1505. Ain't sure...
Thanks!

Hi!
I don't recommended to use the CyanogenMod kernel because you have to use it only with CyanogenMod ROM and it's buggy (GSM bug in CyanogenMod 10 and camera bug in CyanogenMod 11).
If you want a good, stable and bug free ROM you can try 11.3.a.0.47 deodexed and Odexed stock based with a bIt customization with Zeus Kernel.
I think that you have already unlocked the bootloader, right?
P.S.: Sorry for my bad English.

Nope, didn't figure out how to do it myself- I always get the 'cannot be unlocked the official way' message. I gave up. It always worked for me, never had any trouble, dunno why it doesn't work with this peace of beep. *cries*
Well, I'm not a fan of CM myself- I just figured out CM would be there for taking on this device. Wasn't so sure about other options.
Thanks for the ROM! Gonna check it out- hope there's no gapps there.

[Q] {Q}Sony Xperia Z3 dual (d6633) custom rom ?

Hi Guys , I just wanted to ask are there any custom roms for the sony xperia z3 dual d6633 yet ?
anyone?
damn, thats cold. I would also like one of these...

I did not try custom ROMs on D6633 yet, I'll wait until Sony stops support beyond Marshmallow and then I'll play. Current modified rooted stock ROM's provide enough customizability that unless pure custom ROM offers amazing new features I am not desperate for custom ROM just yet. I use 3rd party launcher and couple of MODs and I am happy for now.
There are few modified stock ROM's you might wanna try, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/rom-23-4-1-232-t3226948
or this one:

Just take a look at all the MM Roms for LB and see which has feautures you like. Check the comments a bit too to see what others say and then you'll know. Lots have the features you want and are getting regular updates to improve them. It is hard for someone to suggest a ROM as each is different for our needs and wants.
Alternatively you can root stock ROM and then flash the ported versions of the Xperia X apps like the system UI, lockscreen, sound libs and even camera when it is available. Just check they are for the Z3.
There might be a port of the galaxy apps if you search around. Probably in the cross-device development section near the bottom here. You could even try installing them normally and see if they work, but have a backup if you flash anything!
