Request for CyanogenMod: Official Support for the Xperia M2 - Sony Xperia M2

Hi everyone!
Someone started a post on Cyanogenmod Forums requesting CM Support for our Sony Xperia M2, so I'm sharing this right here so that if anyone is interested in having CM roms for our device in the official way, comment there so that they take into account our Smartphone for future releases
This is the link to the post: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/94355-Cyanogenmod-On-Sony-Xperia-M2
Hope we can have CM11 on our M2
P.S. If this was already shared here, moderators can close the thread. I'm sharing this because I didn't find any similar thread...

I can bring CM 11 for M2. It has near about same msm8226 board as of T2 ultra and we've already booted cm 11 on t2 ultra(haven't released since we need to resolve some problems). But I don't have this device so it'll pretty difficult to do without the device. I am pretty sure I can bring this if I can be provided the device, if not, I need some guys who know how to use adb and can test the builds accordingly
EDIT: Proof of booting ROM for T2U-

I'd like to help, but I'm not able to unlock the bootloader right now, it's locked from carrier!
Hopefully, my carrier Vodafone it's sending liberation codes for free for anyone who wants them right now, so I'm going to wait until I receive it and then I will send the phone to Sony so that they change the bootloader unlock allowed from no to yes :victory:
However, I've noticed that the Unlock Bootloader webpage at sony Developers has just changed, now it's more simple and.. they've REMOVED the M2, incredibly, check this:
Hope they add again the M2 to their list so that I can unlock it in some weeks

Patience!
Wait and soon we will have custom roms running the same on our device. if you need to theme like an xperia z2,
You can head over here and check out the few features that are already ported.
I have not had much of a time to sit out and put forth the other features. Have been working on porting a few features myself. Especially the camera!
Try this and let me know about it!.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/themes-apps/apps-share-t2695708
Btw. I am also working on a custom ROM with all these ports and more! youll see them yourself soon!
I looked at the screen Shot .. but still need to be more like.

I hope you do.

Not interesting
Unlike the Parallax ROM
What is the reason of this thread? Complaining or what? :v
Nobody can force devs to making custom roms.
you need a STOCK modded version?
I certainly would love to work with the STOCK ROM, But i need more time, i have my exams coming next week, and have to switch back to JB to try them.
Ill certainly look into the ports for STOCK ROM. and make a new thread this weekend about the theming of STOCK with Xperia Z2 theme.
Ill try posting one this weekend.
Not force

The only difference I think is the customization language, when you first start the phone it will come in russian/french, depending on the country of the rom... If i don't see the Customized_ES in XperiFirm until tonight, i'll flash this french version
Download link D2303_18.3.C.0.37_French Generic.ftf
Guys, I've got some questions about that ROM.
1. Could you guys post some simple instructions on how to flash this ROM onto my M2? I'm still kind of a noob when it comes to the Android world.
2. Will everything work normally if I'd like to use this ROM on my M2 in a Polish network and would like to use Polish language? Since both FR and PL are European countries I guess there should be no problem, but it never hurts to ask.
Thanks in advance.

It upgrades just the interface to kitkat? Or it does actually upgrades the Android version? And what about the kernel?

According to the op, it is still 4.2.2, so just the interface and some apps as mentioned.
Maybe the title should be changed to reflect the fact that this is just "kitkat look & feel" It is certainly misleading.
One doubt though, what about the storage? Specifically the method to increase the device memory by reducing the internal storage.

This adress gives a code for unlocking the bootloader. If someone agrees with avoiding his warranty, would it be possible to develop an actual kitkat ROM?

Unfortunately you are right because we don't have the source code to make an real update and also we don't have a supporting firmware.
If someone wants to make an actual KitKat update then he/she has to start from making the firmware then making the ROM.... that would be a very time consuming and also would need experts.

Can't it be made using a rom of a phone with simmilar specs? How developers usually make roms of phones that don't have the official updates? I want to start learning to develop, soon. I just need to finnish college, so i'll have a little more time.

My Method is very rudimentary, I deodexed and then changed some apks directly from the phone, then make a Update.zip vía philz and add data.ext4.tar to the update... Its not the best way, but it still worked.

That's weird, I know many people installed this with no problems in locked bootloaders. Are you using PhilZ from AleksJ?
Here is my screenshots. I think i know what the problem is, my phone is an odex rom i guess? but if that's the case, how can i change into deodex? I don't know what i am really talking about, i am just a starter in android so please bare with me

Uh, I think I see the problem. The file route is too large, rename the file to update.zip or, place in the root of the sdcard (Or both)... Let's see if that works. (It isn't necessary to already be deodexed to install this )
EDIT: If that didn't worked, then redownload and check if Md5's match: eac144943e2e08bd7f9b4d5e979fd4a3

Hi, nothing changed. I did what you said and the md5 also matched but it keep saying STATUS 1 installation aborted. I have one last option, i will try the guide for rooting you had posted coz i did not use that, i hope it will work this time.

Oke, maybe that was the reason.. However, if that didn't worked, try also flashing the french D2303 ftf, (if that's your model), the rom files where extracted from it, so it must work.

Marshmallow 6.0.1 8/03/16 ASOP D2203

Code:
*** Disclaimer
This software is without warranty and
I will not be held accountable
if it blows up, bricks or starts a zombie apocalypse.
I am a developer BUT I am not a kernel/android rom dev!
Pure AOSP Marshmallow
This all started because I wanted to get my wife a cheap android phone that would stay up to date with the latest android. A cheap phone with SD storage and Marshmallow seemed like a great combination hence the E3. Sony has been great at supporting the developer community by providing Marshmallow binaries and working on open source components.
I am providing this rom in my spare time and all of what I have done can be done by anyone with AOSP code. Any changes I make I will endeavour to release to github should I stop developing this rom.

supports D2203
Guide to flashing
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img --> if it doesn't work first time
If you are having booting issues flash the cache image as well.
you also probably want the newest recovery of TWRP or CWM
repo with all the kernel patches I added to the E3 if someone wants to build it for themselves
https://github.com/mikey0000/kernel-patches-for-xperia-E3
Changelog
Code:
[B]21/03/2016[/B]
boot image update
new unified display driver with flamingo specific fixes for display not turning on (seems to affect some devices worse than others)
19/03/2016
6.0.1 Release - updated boot image should get rid of display issues. Updated system image with security patches
New releases are in the downloads section and dated.
8/03/2016
6.0.1 Release, thank you all for waiting, stock build first. I really need to learn how to do nice release notes..
updated blobs which should mean a more stable build. Also we are getting closer to getting a working camera.
17/11/2015
Two new system builds
with modem files and one without
25/11/2015
Phone has arrived in the country should receive it soon
this will mean I can continue work on this device, I cannot just take my partners phone and mess with it unfortunately ;-D
26/11/2015
Phone arrived, have got a working system image, am uploading a backup from twrp now.
26/11/2015
Yay I have a working system.img for you all to flash and I put some extra effort to add a nice boot animation
I have also added the stock kernel(boot.img) as it seems to be more stable than erikcas one at the moment.... possibly
I've also attached the bootanimation should you want to use it on stock or whatever. Is not mine, can't remember the person who made, it, was posted to reddit/r/android if I find it again I'll attribute it.
02/12/2015
New boot.img with improved io performance, you should see significant improvements if you've experienced lag. Thanks goes to @vinay for his work on the flamingo kernel. One small change removes CRC checking which improves performance by up to 30%
20/01/2016
Hi Guys am in the process of producing a new kernel and ROM with ZRAM support. Hoping to get something in your hands soon.

It makes a tutorial on installing via please ASOP ? :crying:
can this apply to D2202?
yes, this will better if you tell us for what variant of E3 in this Marshmallow thread
Will it work on D2212??? Which is your variant???
I have downloaded all the img files. Give step wise tutorial for flashing. What is the ramdisk.img and ramdisk-recovery.img and how to flash them???
Ramdisk is probably kernel. One without and one with recovery. Everything is flashable from fastboot
Okay, means this rom will work on D2212 /D2202 as they don't have seperate recovery partition
OK i´m downloading it i will write here and post screens if you want

system.img is too large ...
Maybe for new bootloader? If i good remember for E3 here was 2 bootloader types
Can you please create a quick installation guide and/or requirements (bootloader), i will be pleased and please can you tell us the bugs
Do i need to flash ramdisk OR ramdisk-recovery OR recovery OR all of them??? I am confused
this is no gonna boot at all. were is kernel?
and sony upload stuff for compiling rom,s for lte varriant,s so test it on d2203.
and system.img is bigger than our system partition it could mean you compiled rom for a different device.

Sorry uploading kernel now. I followed the sony developer world instructions for the D2203 variants
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...aosp-marshmallow-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/
please be nice this is my first attempt at supplying a rom. Am re-compiling again as I think your right I misread and compiled for the D5503 instead of D2203, I don't have the device yet as I am waiting for it to be delivered.
I have messed around with building roms before but haven't handed them out.
Again for D2203 and not for D2212/D2202. I think i must throw this phone, nothings gonna happen.
