What custom roms are there? - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've only seen the cm11 beta. And I wonder,are there any other roms for the z3? What has your experience been with them? Which ones would you recommend? I feel like the xperia os is missing a lot of basic features.

Which features?

Well, like some quick settings. Like I used to be able to quickly switch to vibrate when I'm at work. I guess what I'm looking for is a bit more control and customization. I know it's a fairly new phone,so not many roms out there for it yet.

Well unfortunately not a single one is out there. Just an unofficial CM11 (made by two great devs) that is quite far from being a daily driver!

you will lose almost all features of official Xperia; camera app, walkman, album
however there is some porting project but unfortunately non of them are prefect.
and for custom rom always CyanogenMod is better than others cause there is real pro team behind it

[Q] Any Xperia based ROMs for HTC Desire S?

Hi All,
Is there any Xperia based ROM (Only ICS+, no G available for HTC Desire S?
Please comment.
Merry Xmas to all..
Errr, there arent much roms in dev section, and the roms are pretty similar.
It is either different version of sense from different ports or different cm/aosp/aokp which runs with trebuchet or something similar.

I pretty mch used every other ROMs. I m now in Sabsa Prime 10.1 from Paranoid ROM, CyMod10, 10.1 etc...
But, i like to have a feel of new Xperia ICS+ ROMs.
Thanks for reply.
i've tried to port an xperia rom to desire s..... Ended up with a lot of bugs...
Camera not working
No sound coming out the speaker
3g connection not working
wifi won't function at all..
Btw iam not a developer i've just gave it a try
I don't think any developer (among the very few who are still active on Desire S) will try to work on a Xperia based ROM. I guess there will be many kernel based issues (I'm no dev, just a guess).
But I think this new Xperia Launcher by ra3al might help you get that Xperia feel. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332
Thanks @Kingdomds. Even i thought of that. Anyways, thanks for the update.
@tech_gooner - After using XperiaLauncher only, i asked that qn. But, Xperia LAuncher taking heavy toll on normal usage of Sabsa Prime Sense.
Any way Im going to flash ViperSAGA soon.

I used Xperia Launcher for nearly two weeks on CM10 and 10.1 (flinny's builds), and it did not have any major battery drainage.

@king_josh60 Go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332
@tech I m not telling about battery. Thats fine.
But, phone became extremely slow. I think Sense goodies running with Xperia makes it tough for the phone.
Anyways, that led me to try the Viper Saga. Its awesome..

Looking for good Xperia Z3 ROM.

As title says after owning Xperia Z3 for good 2 months I've decided to finally install some custom ROMS for it. I just know which one. I'm preferably looking for ROMS that keep the Xperia UI, Xperia music player (which I absolutely love) and Xperia camera app so nothing really like Cyanogenmod or similar.
You can use SliMM 3.8! It's great!

Look at the Existenz rom, Xperia UX, with a lot a customization.
I think this is the rom with the most features that us a Stock rom as base

Try slim rom if you want a stock approach or fragment rom for xperia xz look or if you like full customization within the rom try existenz rom

If you want the Stock Look and Feel like on Google phones try the Google Style V1 Rom.
Battery is great and so far it dont have any bugs.

De-Bloated ROM Recommendations for the XZP

I was a huge fan of Cyanogen Mod when it was in development due to its sleek UI
& because all those apps like facebook were ditched letting the owner decide what they did\did not want installed on there device.
What ROM for the XZ Premium G8141 is comparable to CM which is stable & deboated that you'd reccommend?

Aosp with snap patch or turbo rom.

Developer support Mix 2S vs Mix 2

I really like this phone with the small bezels and premium construction, but I've heard around here that there aren't a lot of developers working on it. Is that still true? I thought the fact that it got the Pie developer preview would mean it would end up being pretty popular.
How is the support compared to the Mix 2? I realize its like seven months newer, is it just a matter of time? If there is a big difference I might consider switching.
We have Project Treble now and in the Telegram Group many people report that Benzo or ArrowOS AOSP Roms work Great and everything works beside Dual Camera and also @Bruno Martins is hard at work

What's Bruno working on?

When will we see Custom Roms & Kernels for our lovely Xperia 5 II?

Yo guys! It's been a few months since the Xperia 5 II came out and still nothing on the horizon ..
Are there any developers working on a custom rom & kernel? The xda xperia forum is very quiet when it comes to this phone, it's a shame
I would love that one day we could have Lineage OS, or Resurrection Remix, Dirty Unicorn, Omnirom or even EvolutionX. Maybe it's just a dream?
The stock rom is fine but I do would like to have options
I would love to see Lineage on my Xperia 5 ii, I kind of want my XA2 back, which would now be running 18.1. But I guess we have to live with stock rom on this one At least the camera is lovely...

Well, sounds like a starter, but as Lineage enthusiast I'm only looking for a rom without Google, this sounds like the exact opposite. But I guess this one will make at least some people happy ;-)
Working on LOS here. Coming soon!

That's awesome !!
I hope we do see custom roms soon. I'm still using my OP6 and I can't decide between Pizel 5/4a 5G or Xperia 5 II. Would like to go for the Xperia due to longevity but the lack development support is putting me off. If I get one, I will certainly root and remove any bloatware.

Let's hope for it! The device and especially display format of the 5 ii is really nice, and I love that it is compact and fits in my pocket without problems. Lineage on this device would really give a positive vibe about a longevity.
(BTW: yesterday I installed Lineage 17.1 on my fathers ancient Z5 Compact from 2015, everything works just fine and amazingly fast, thanks to getting rid of the google stuff. Now he can use it for some additional time --> that's sustainability. Let's hope for the 5 ii to be as longevity)
Had some issues last Night, but i'm syncing a fresh 18.1 repo with xperia device trees right now. Will take some Hours but i think i can share a first Build the next Days...

Any chance you can test it and tell me, if the camera is still working and has the same functionalities? I'm not talking about the fancy Sony Camera app, but the simple one delivered on stock ROM. On XA2 and Z5 Compact the Lineage 17.1 Photo App is quite ok, but of cause these ones have no triple camera. And as the 5 ii is not cheap I would like to be sure, that this key feature is working properly... Or that I have the possibility to get the stock camera app working.

You can ask directly to the dev, I think he must have tested the image before he released it.
I'm waiting for someone to try it too lmao cause I don't want to lose any stock features.
Anyway I'm pretty sure it will work, otherwise he would have mentioned it in the post I guess

Is there any update on your Lineage-Release? Unfortunately the published version from ken442266 has been discontinued and I don't want to return to stock
