Hello everybody, I know it's against the rules to compares ROMS and say which is best but what I want to ask you is what do you think would suit the following characteristics:
Smooth and faster than stock (all of them are but you get it)
Clean and lightweight but with cool basic features
Bugs fixed (very important, the less bugs the better)
I am looking forward to android L but I heard about the storage problems and I just want to wait until it gets "Stabler". I appreciate every developers work (olivier, varun, devious fusion... ) but I'm sure you guys have your own opinions about which one suits your needs. I just want something that I can use daily without bugs. Also a rom that doesn't have the microphone problems?
I read another thread in which paranoid android was recommended and I kinda liked it, do you recommend it?
I liked it's features but I was afraid it might slow the system down... Also what's the best (again less buggy and more updated) cyanogen version? Is varun working with free xperia? I have plenty of questions because only now I though about unlocking the bootloader...

Hi,
My advice would be to try out all ROMs and pick which suits best for you. Everyone has different taste.
I personally liked Liquid smooth with thunderzap 4.7.
Regarding Cyanogen latest version (experimental RIL version by Varun is stable. Link : https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=taoshan).
As far as I know Varun is busy with CM12 bring up on various devices and fortunately he is supporting our device :victory:
If you have questions regarding how to unlock bootloader and flash kernel/Rom please check guide in Android development section here before asking questions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/guide-installing-kernels-roms-xperia-l-t2548498
Hit "Thanks" if I helped.
Thanks!
Right now I know I'll be flashing thunderzap because it looks awesome
But I'm really in doubt about paranoid android or cyanogen mod.
The thing I like about cyanogen mod is that it is really clean. In other words, the developer starts everything from scratch being able to only code the essential things. I really like that in a rom. no portings or copy pasting with old sources, but again, paranoid android developer also says that he built everything from scratch. So they are both awesome. I think I'll pm devious fusion about what bugs he has knowledge in his latest build.
I have bootloader unlock not allowed but I think I know someone that can get the job done (if I'm successful I'll make a thread about it) that's why I'm not testing already. I really hope varun fixes everything in cm12 he is a great developer!
By the way which should I choose, free xperia or varun cyanogen11? Is varun working on cyanogen12?
Maybe free xperia is more updated

Free xperia (FXP) will be updated every week with upstream changes.
But it may or may not be stable.
Cyanogenmod 11 by Varun is stable version. So I would prefer Cm11.
CM12 is already out but has some minor bugs. Depends upon your usage, it may be good as daily driver.
Go for repexpersis rom
Full z3 experience
It is flashed over fxp

Hello all
I have decided I will install free xperia cyanogen rom on my device as soon as I unlock my bootloader since Cyanogenmod 12 is still being debugged by varun and I will install it when all problems are fixed.
I would like to know where can I get information on the latest builds as I would love to know what bugs these new versions have.
The only thing I know is that fxp 325 was a good build but I would like feedback on the latest versions since from what I heard, there is no guarantee that it is/will be stable. I have checked the q/a here on the forums but I can't really gather much information from there. So what do you guys think? Best bug free (or almost bug free) builds?
Hi there. I'd like to ask our fellow developers if they would be able to port PA 4.6 from Z2 to our Z3. If i am informed correctly there shouldn't be so much work as Z2 and Z3 are pretty much identical. @slipsystem, @Myself5, @Alx31TLse and @Untouchab1e. slipsystem has developed an patch for stock roms. Wouldnt be something similiar possible with aosp roms like PA? Thanks in advance for your replies.

Let's hope that this awesome ROM wont stay ignored by other developers. However, i guess you could say (being developer) if it would be hard to do this.

I know very little about Paranoid Android so I cant really say, but yes, the Z3 and Z2 are very similar, the only tricky part really is rild, but it should be fairly straight forward to port it, yea.
I will have a look into it. But the Patcher will only work on stock roms as custom roms require a custom kernel. I will see if I am able to port pa using cm as a Base. I cannot build pa from source as I don't have a good enough Internet connection.

Hey I had a look at CM 11 Development .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/orig-development/rom-unofficial-cm11-xperia-z3-t2892718
so the following features wont work in PA ether
Camera
Audio
RILD
Probably a lot more...
I will try to port it anyways just to test my skills. but in order for those features to work I need a functional CM11 build to work from.
Although it sounds bad, i guess theres nothing you can do. But, if you are trying to build from cm instead of aosp, it means that pa5 should be portable right? As we have a "fully" functional cm12

Hello all,
I have a sony ericsson xperia neo v (mt11i) which is currently running FlexOS 5.1.1 lollipop. My experience from this rom isn't bad but it isn't extremely good either so I was wondering if anyone here knew what the best lollipop themed custom rom is for my device. I have taken a look at OwnROM but i haven't flashed it because I am new to the world of custom roms and I don't feel comfortable with flashing things regularly. Aside from these two roms I haven't been able to find any other lollipop themed roms. Can somebody please tell me if there are other roms and also which one is better. keep in mind that I play a lot of games so I would prefer something fast. I would appreciate any responses,
Thank You

the problem with flex is it is very out of date because the flex team stopped building for all devices some time ago, i know because i used to build for them.
i cant speak for the other rom you mentioned, but whatever is available will be here. you will just have to try them and see which one you like, because there is no best rom. everyone thinks whatever one they like is the best, so whatever response you get to that question is mostly useless, other than the one i provided.
Since Android Oreo 8.0 will release in a few days
I just want to know that will the developers create a custom rom based on the new android 8
I have been using my Sony Xperia L for so many years & I have used from 4.2 to 7.1 All of it
and now I'm using the nougat rom its very stable and I like it very much
If custom Oreo is created please give me a reply .Thanks :laugh:
Whoa, slow down there cowboy.
It's not even out yet - and it usually takes a couple of months for the most popular devices to start getting good ROM builds. The devs can't work that quickly; don't forget that these are not official OEM updates.
The OEMs get the source code earlier, and they have entire teams working on them. Error checking (and fixing) takes a lot less time when you have teams that big. That's why it seems like they release stable builds "right off the bat" - but in reality they've been working on them for a couple of months.
If the developers don't want to do it, they won't. If they want, they will. Don't nag them about this, and don't be ungrateful.

Sorry for being so quick
But I saw a video about Android 8 beta running on a pixel device. And I really liked it
That's the reason that I asked about the ROM
And for making a ROM it's really hard and I know it after reading your reply
I thank all the developers for the amazing work they have done and I'm really grateful.
I'll wait.
Thanks
