[Q] Best stock firmware for Xperia l? - Sony Xperia L

Hey guys, like most of you are, i'm very disapointed because sony dropped development for our phone... However i dont
have the resources to buy a new one since i lost 200 euros (not dollars) on this brick.
I like its design and for me this could be the best android phone HOWEVER, it's crappy software is destroying everything.
I have tried custom roms, i have even built my own with my own tweaks and i have come to the conclusion that the best
rom cooking is stock on everything, rooted, with tweaked gps.conf and adfree hosts file. Yep simple with no de odexing or zipaliging
as i am lazy p)
Now the problem is, i dont know what firmware should i install... Every version as its bugs so i would like to know if you xperia l veterans know
the best build.
Im looking for snappyness: best ram management, and speed.
The less bugs the better but give priority to snappiness...
I would also like a good camera but i think every build sucks on that...
I hope you guys can help...
thanks

I believe the latest version is always the best. It comes with some bug fixes (not all though, but something is better than nothing). Sony makes some improvements with the feedback they get and thus tries to remove those bugs. Take camera for example, the latest version has far better camera than some previous versions.
So I think the latest version with root and xposed framework is the best.

Are you sure? Cause i heard somewhere that this update has worst ram management thats why i talked about it in the thread...

See every rom has its pros and cons. I am a normal user and thus don't find the ram management to be poor. However, it might be poor, but the camera is better than previous one. So depends on the user as well.

You cant beat usabilety and speed of CM7 based roms I currently use Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 wihich is very light and stable but also would reccomend gingerdx because it has a few added features and looks like ICS or JB if you download and add acheps JB theme to it
Minimal and most stable - 2.3.7 GB is what you are looking for.
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
On GB they are oxigen rom, and gingerDX
on ICS i use placebo rom. for me its the most stable.
but since you want a fast rom stay with GB
Gingersnap...best till date...great camera quality
Do not underestimate Mukulsoni's Kitkat ROM for our old faithful friend. Stable and smooth. Also the latest droid:good:

I disagree.
WLAN is crap in his rom. there are several ppl who have the issue but he doesnt give a **** and focuses on completly wrong things. like OTA update....who the f*ck needs this? if i have to flash it with recovery first time, then i can do it again with a new version. nobody needs this ota **** wasting space on the phone.
And when he says "the rom is smooth and fast". It feels like my grand ma with the rollator can beat this "fast" rom!
i try the oxygen roms next hopfully there no such issues.
EDIT: AND he doesnt give the option for ppl like me who doesnt want use Link to SD or AD2Sdx to disable it.
Let's Agree to disagree my Friend!

The CM11 WIFI problem on LG Optimus One has solution. first i have t say "Mukulsoni" IS DOING GREAT!! bringing the KitKat to P500 is really something, man!!! the ROM is not as much fast as CM7 is, BUT it's still smooth and KitKat BEAT'S anyway!
we need to accept that P500 does not meet the minimum system requirements for KitKat (internal memory, CPU speed and so..) and if we consider this, show's how much fast is his ROM!!
The CM11 WIFI problem on LG Optimus One is Real :crying: !! I faced it.. but also solved the problem!!
If you set "United States" in [Settings >WIFI >Advance >WIFI Region Code ] it will fix your problem! :cyclops:
the bug is where that you cannot keep this setting!! every time you reboot the device, you need to do it again! but, not a big deal to me anyway.
also there's this Thread which help you get rid of WIFI reconfiguring each time after reboot, by using this WiFix App .
:good: I wish you the best, my bro. :good:
When will you people learn? Bragging about Kitkat "oh look at me I got the newest Android - its not stable, still in development lots of buggs, lagg as hell, little storage and little free RAM, but hey at least I got the newest..".
Besides this cons as long as the dev is unofficial it will never be good as CM9.
Do as you wish, I've said this a couple of times, expecially when JB 4.3 dev came up, people said the same stuff. I don't care about you using KITKAT, but don't make a good commercial about a bad product to non-dev users.

There is no lag. The only lag with kitkat launcher but not a deal, can be beaten with Holo or Nova launchers.
There is no RAM shortage. Learn about Link2sd. I have some 90MBs free now.
You cannot blame without evidence.
We are not fan of kitkat just because it is new. Mukulsoni done well. 3 years old phone now works way better than 2.3.x
I am not saying it is the best ROM, but not deserving such criticism.
Have fun!
ROMs
Tried many ROMs, but definitely can say that CyanogenMod 7 (by FitAmp) is the best. OxygenROM seemed not so good for me. I don't really know why. It seemed that the battery was going down too fast when I used it, maybe It's just me. In CyanogenMod 9 (hephappy 9.2.3) I had issue with SD-Card that would keep unmounting. CyanogenMod 10 was quite good. Phone slept well, but It was a bit laggy for me. I haven't tried CyanogenMod 11 because of many unneeded (for me) "features".
TL;DR
CM7 is the smoothest in performance and best in battery for me.
CM10 is coolest in UI , battery last long if you don't use the phone that much, but sometimes laggy.
CM9 have this weird sd-card issue FOR ME (only few O1 phones have this OR It's just bad sd-card ).

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHA.
No lag ey? C'mon I know you're lying.
RAM and Storage are two different things, learn to defer between.
Link2SD Am using it since like forever, I was going to mention a fact that besides the user-installed apps are on SD they still use internal data but I'll double check this.
Evidence? Check the whole thread. I stopped experimenting since JB as I saw in order to run newer android, system will take more and more from our phone's resources. And still checking dev by-the-way.
IT WORKS BETTER THEN 2.3.X? HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
You just made my day xD
PS: If GB supported Greenify and other alike apps I would never leave GB. Am only on ICS because of Android compatibility.

Agreed.
Btw since I don't have this SD-card issue it's only your phone.
Play around a little and perhaps it can be fixed. (do know how to clean-install a new rom?, did you tried formating sdcard in any way and did you tried formating it trough different recoveries?(for example, on 4.2.2 JB I found a fix for non-working sdcard on partitioned sdcard and partitioning it trough diff recovery fixed that issue) etc etc.)
Thread Closed, there shouldn't be any discussion about Best. Fastest ROM/Kernel

[Q] [HELP]Suggest me >THE MOST< stable ROM w/ or wo/ BLunlck. FOR "E"

Hello everyone, first I must tell y'all that I was on XDA before, but I just forgot password, both e-mail and account one. :highfive:
Greets from Croatia.
Anyway, I'm familiar with custom ROMs, as I had Xperia X8 before.
Now it's Xperia E.
Back then I was into this stuff, but now I just want ROM that won't crash, lag, hang, or freeze.. I will use this phone as everyday phone, I don't wan't nervous brakedown. :laugh:
So, I will not use any heavy apps, eventually Facebook, or more like just Browser (built-in one or 3rd party, I'll see) with FBmessenger and ofcourse - music player. The most important thing is the following -> I want not to have problems with answering or hanging up calls, neither with GSM/3G/WiFi network. I want it all work as smooth as it can.
K den, I don't want to unlock my bootloader if I don't need to. I just want faster and more stable ROM than stock, because stock one lags and hangs. is there any good, but I mean I can't belive this **** is so stable and fast good ROM for stock kernel?
BUT, if there are benefits that will help me with what I want (such as better stabillity, better performance, less bugs) I'll unlock by bootloader and install an another kernel.
TO KEEP IT SIMPLE:
Q: Is there ROM with no bugs and no lags, hangs and crashes? If yes, is there one for stock kernel? If no, I'll flash new kernel.
I WANT:
-satisfying performance, better than stock rom.
-calls app to work flawlessly
-overclock if possible to get better performance
-central european character support (čćšđž)
I DON'T:
any lags, crashes, hangs,freeze etc. that will mess up with everyday (basic) usage. If it's an some kind of emergency I don't want my phone to freeze
IF I HAVE TO
I'll flash custom kernel, but first suggest me one that don't need BL unlocked. (if there is any stable ROM for "stock and locked" at all)
So, which is the best combination? Which one to choose? I already checked out those tuts, and general but I just don't know where to begin.
STOCK? is this good?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/general/xperia-e-official-thread-roms-mods-root-t2535522
btw, atm I don't have phone on me, but I'll have it in like two day tops, so don't ask techincal info yet.
EDIT:
is this the best choice? http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-j-e/development/rom-nexboost-cm11-camera-t2852519
Ok, this is the worst community I've ever come across. Prove me wrong... please. I can't believe that there are no users here that can tell me, yes I use *that* rom and it's very good.
I'm going for Nexboost than... I hope I picked good one.

Andorid Lollipop!!

Hi guys! I already asked this question but....why a smartphone as S PLUS received Android lollipop and Kernel 3.4.105 and the S advance is stop to KitKat and kernel 3.0.101? Thi our smartphone has absolutely no developer able to do it?:crying::crying:

bcz S plus has qualcomm snapdragon Soc (easily available sources ) and our crap has novathor which has no source ...so don't expect any new update for our device...even present source builds are not bug free for i9070 .
this thing made clear many times by many devs
so don't create new thread for this thye of Qs...we have Q&A thread plus search option.
This is amazing news. Although, I'm not sure whether this is going to affect our device or not. It's not that the devs are unable to pull this off, I think it's more of a matter of the practical aspect since most people follow the natural course and update their dated hardware. Nonetheless we can just hope that our device is not forgotten.
Team Canjica not give more support for janice, so no lollipop for S Advance
Janice sources are horrible, could compile lollipop, but with many bugs

It's sad to say but it's already forgotten
I say too that our janice is forgotten...But remember this: never say never, although i think that janice can't run lollipop.We already experience lags on jb, cm.If we had 1gb ram,then was other story...but still hard to build lollipop without sources.
We won't get more performance using lollipop, we will get a slow device.
Why you really wants lollipop? Just for the look, isn't it? You can make a theme like that and that's it.
I know that is not allowed,but if anyone need that novathor sources which chinese guy posted on xda few months ago and know how to adapt them for lollipop (if is possible) tell me...i still have them in my pc and I'll never delete them.
What is the rom which is trully fast and smooth ? The answer is GIINGERBREAD. Yeah, it is outdated, but consume less ram, and that we need, free ram.

Have you tried Vanir? I use it for like 6 months now and don't even think about anythink else. Fast, no fancy colorful stuff jumping at me from every menu, good battery life, what more can you want?
In a day or two I'll also put here the kernel I use with Vanir along with my new governor, if you're interested.

I'm using first or second version of Vanir and I'm satisfied and i never updated. I installed many apps and became little slow. Gingerbread still better for ram management i think.
Why i use vanir ? Because i see that on this rom the camcorder isn't so darker like other roms, at least for me (after changing exposure). Although i record videos rarely, when i want to do it i don't want darker videos...
I'm interested in your kernel, and i think not just me
PS: i use just vanir and sami os

low performance on KitKat Roms

Dear developers,
I've tested some KitKat ROMs in my Desire S by now. Unfortunately, for all performance is an issue. When using any browser (stock/Dolphin/Chrome) the whole system freezes from time to time and also for example GoogleMaps is really slow and laggy. I did a full wipe every time.
I'm wondering why this is the case... Is the CPU of the Desire S simply to old/slow for current apps like GoogleMaps or browsers? But why was it no problem on the original gingerbread ROMs than? Neither GoogleMaps nor the browsers do more in my opinion. GoogleMaps now even has less features than back then. Or is it because 768MB RAM is not enough for current ROMs? But as I see it, some low-end devices today even feature only 512MB.
I have used my Desire S since 2011 and I really would like to go on using it, but when I see how fast and smooth everything can run on a OnePlus One for example, and remembering that it used to run similarly fast on the Gingerbread-Desire, it can be really annoying from time to time.
please have in mind we live in 2015 now [emoji12]
CM12.1 is super fast and also very stable.

I do. If you'd read carefully, you would've recognised that I was asking what is limiting the phone. If you do not have an answer for this, there's no need for posting.
@vojtah1: thanks, I'll give it a try. I didn't install it yet as people wrote it would be laggy as well. Would you say it was faster than 4.4.4?

Why so serious mate, chill. I have read the post carefully and my raction is caused by your thoughts. Even ICS was heavier than GB what about KitKat or Lollipop. I am sure that you will not be happy with a low RAM Device running 4.4.4 even if it a 2014 make as we all was pleased with Saga once 4 years ago. The mentioned OnePlusOne does not fit in the low end device category at all.
BTW I am on 4.4.4 for a couple of months now. I have no performance issues with it however it is very sripped down variant with many services disabled and apps removed but this is fine for my requiremnts. The CPU is running with the default settings but is overclocked to 1.4 GHz. Hope this helps.

Hum. I gave it a try but unfortunately the dialer app is tremendously slow. If I have an incoming call, it takes at least 5s or so until the screen lits up and I can answer the call. The other day, the dealer somehow froze and I was only able to place my call after waiting some minutes for the device to settle and reload. This is simply the complete opposite from "it just works".

My ROM is REFLEX BOW, version GR0UND Zer0 (#1.02), build 18th Feb 2015
I am using the Gapps and the BloatWare removal Script from this thread
I have also completely disabled Location and Google Play Services (more here), turn on mobile data only when I need it, keep it on 2G most of the time.
The apps I use mostly are Exchange e-mail, Calendar and Google Chrome. So I consider this as a very basic use. No multimedia, no games, no social networks. However as I have mentioned already this completely suits my needs. If you like this set-up feel free to try it and share your thoughts. Otherwise it may be a time for upgrade (I think it came for me but I have a hard time to find something that has the future-proof potential of the Desire S. Probably will wait for several months to see what OnePlusTwo, next Nexus or the Motorola flagship will look like)
Regards,
Stefan
P.S.: I can see tha tyou have posted in the Desire XS version 1.1 thread - I can highly recommend this ROM or SVHD if you like to have some nice tweaks. I have used them for a really long period of time before going for KK and in terms of stability and performance I believe you will find exactly what are you looking for.

I'm using the Desire XS v1.1 now since a week or so and (for me) it is the best ROM I ever had on the Desire S. Faster than any KK or Lollipop ROM I tested and perfectly stable.

Best umi z Rom ???

I dont know whats the best and newest stabel rom for the umi z. I found. Umi z lite, Noa MM and Nougat. Gemini. Or the Original ? Can anyone give a answer pls
I would love to know that too. I've seen a few ROM's that seem to be better than the Umi Z Stock Rom. However, with the 7.1.1 Lite ROM it's almost impossible to read the user experiences, because it's on a Russian platform, so I have to rely on the quality of Google Translate.
For me, I've experienced the following issues on the stock ROM (latest OTA of MM) ;
- sometimes the sound stops working (alarms, ringtone & music etc.) and I have to restart the device to make it work again.
- video's don't have the best quality
- the camera is barely usable on third party apps (Snapchat, Google Camera), because they cannot change the ISO values? (or so UMI says) Result: very dark video's / photo's
- the phone sometimes heats up to a point that I have to stop using it in order to let it cool down again. I don't know if this could be solved by software tho, maybe it's just a hardware problem...
- connectivity > in the supermarket / stores the connectivity is really bad. I have zero signal. With this, I also don't know if it's software/hardware.
- Bluetooth > Very short range before it starts to sound really bad
Did anyone have these problems too with the stock ROM and did the custom ROM worked for you to solve these problems? Also, what issues have occurred on the custom ROM? I would also like to know what ROM has the best battery performance.
I'm sorry for this long post, I just really want to find out, like Dobberman, what the best custom ROM is for this phone (cuz for me the stock ROM crashes / has a lot of problems)
Thanks in advance.

So I am as much as you. I've read all sorts of reports from users of all the roms out there. But I must confess that the best Rome is still the last floor nougat. On the nougat rom I then flash some tools like greenify and make build.prop settings. After that she runs real solid. The reception is not the best on the phone, but Build.prop tweaks can improve things a bit. So I actually received quite a good reception. In shops, he is not so great, but usually sufficient. Have now actually tested all available roms.

So you are now using the Umi stock Nougat ROM with tweaks? I've read a lot of problems about the Android 7.1.1 update on Umi Z (having to restart after flight mode etc).
Did you try any of the custom ROMS? What problems did occur to you when you tried them?
I've never done anything with build.prop settings, so I'm not quite sure if that would be an option for me..

So you are now using the Umi stock Nougat ROM with tweaks? I've read a lot of problems about the Android 7.1.1 update on Umi Z (having to restart after flight mode etc).
Did you try any of the custom ROMS? What problems did occur to you when you tried them?
I've never done anything with build.prop settings, so I'm not quite sure if that would be an option for me..

I don´t have anything Problems whit the Stock Rom.
At the beginning I also had problems with the stock rom. But I could fix it by simply flashing all of Rome's releases with the flash tool via firmware upgrade without having to start the phone until I had installed them all after each other. (also the beta version) After that everything worked well for me. Only I do not get more than 4-5 hours of screen on time. No matter what I do, but that will simply be due to the processor ... you can not really adjust this. I tried everything.
The custom roms are just so that most have a very bad camera. The battery life is usually not much better than the normal Stock Rome. Otherwise, I have not been able to detect big bugs.
As long as we do not get source code, it will not change much, I think.
Edit: you can See my sot. I test whit amplifiy. Powernap ans other tools like xposedandroidtools. And also you can See the green signal all the time.

Based on what you said, I've decided to upgrade the ROM to Android 7.1.1. The performance / speed is a lot better on this ROM and thus far I have not experienced any lagg or apps that stopped working; which is a relieve. However, the quality of the camera seem to have dropped and there is a greenish tint on it. Also, on third party apps it is still too dark to make pictures / video's.
Are the mentioned tweaks the ones to fix these problems? Or did you install another camera? I've seen the Lenovo and HTC camera in other threads about the Umi Z. I hope you can help me

Great hehe. I can say thats not a camera APP Problem. You update the Software From the Start rom, whit the flash tool as Firmware upgrade. And you will See the Problem gone. I have this find out as i flashet the Rom back and forward many times and testet the Rom differents. From all original umi z Roms. DL all original umi z roms and flash it. Dont Start it. Finish The last flash and you can Start it.

I'm sorry, I tried to understand what you wrote, but I have no idea what you're saying xD (I have no experience with this stuff). Are you saying that you have to flash the ROM and test the camera every time? It sounds really weird to me, sorry

What do you mean with " install all the ROMS?" Isn't it true that I only have to install the latest ROM (V7.01.20170711). Are you telling me that if you flash this ROM (instead of OTA), that the greenish tint in the camera and the dark camera in third party apps will be gone? I honestly don't understand how that could be possible. I've had the same issue with the dark camera in all the previous OTA versions. Only the green tint occurred in the 7.1.1 ROM

download all official roms and flash all with the flash tool from umidigi with firmware upgrade. Begin with the first version of the umi z cellphone. Until you arrived at the last version. then you can start the mobile phone. No cam probs more
I did these changes to build.prop
ro.signal.4g=-140,-135,-130,-125,-120,-115,-110,-105,-100,-95,-85,-80,-75,-70
ro.signal.3g=-140,-135,-130,-125,-120,-115,-110,-105,-100,-95,-85,-80,-75,-70
ro.signal.2g=-140,-135,-130,-125,-120,-115,-110,-105,-100,-95,-85,-80,-75,-70
ro.com.android.mobiledata=yes
persist.radio.mobile.data=9,9
ro.mtk_world_phone_policy=1
resulted in a much better signal from mobile provider. 4G reception vastly improved. Thanks Marly97
