So, I got this phone 2 years ago and I'm not planning to change it in the near future, but I got a little bored with the current CyanogenMod 12.1 based ROMs. Is it possible for a ROM like HydrogenOS or anything similar to be ported to our Xperia L? (I mean something more different from the almost stock Android ROMS)

Hi , I'm entirely new to this rooting & custom rom thing I have the sony xperia m c1904 model. Since sony stopped updating it any further from Android 4.3 I've been researching a little & found a little about cyanogenmod developers so what exactly cyanogenmod 12 differs from cyanogenmod 11 . I've heard it's still in beta or nightly stage so what's more I'll get apart from android 5.0 why cyanogenmod 12 matters? Please explain.....
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The difference between those two versions is as follows:
CM11 is based off Android 4.4.x KitKat
CM12 is based off Android 5.0.x Lollipop
So basically you can see that each CM version number increases when they start developing using each new version of Android that is released.
CM9 = Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0
CM10 = Jelly Bean 4.1
CM10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2
CM10.2 = Jelly Bean 4.3
CM11 = KitKat 4.4
CM12 = Lollipop 5.0
In order to ascertain exactly what features are being included in ROMs that are CM12 or based on CM12 you'll need to do some research by reading the individual ROM threads in the specific section of XDA for the Xperia M. You'll find the Xperia M section here:
Sony Xperia M
Bookmark that page and subscribe to it too, that'll make it easier for you to find in future. Within that device forum you'll find sub-forums like:
Xperia M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
(where you can post any questions you may have, just remember to search before posting because any question you have has probably been asked and answered many times before, so make use of the very handy XDA search feature)
Xperia M Android Development
Xperia M Original Android Development
(where you'll find ROMs, kernels, etc)
Ok, so now you know where to go, get started and do some reading. Good luck!
Are there any masters around here who are willing to port a very stock AOSP version of android 6.0.1 to our beloved Xperia L? I mean just like a nexus, without any custon settings like CM, and probably include some addons for stock sony apps, camera, etc. (look at ZyxxOS fot the Xperia Z3 if you want to see exactly what I'm talking about).
It would be MUCH, MUCH appreciated!
Why after nougat update there aren't custom ROMS based on the official Sony Nougat? Do all Developers have sold their z5?
i was wondering the same thing last week.. I would be happy with just a debloated rom with a few tweaks..

Because Nougat is a pain to create custom ROMs for (stock ROMs),
search for "Nougat" in each of those threads (preferrably https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/rom-slimx-optimized-rom-to-date-t3497907 )
and you'll see
either they sold their devices & replaced it with a newer one, or the device died off and similar ...
Hi all.. I have Sony Xperia M dual C2004 model with unofficial slim ROM nougat 7.1.2 beta build on it. After various ROM test I found this rom highly performed to my expectations but the developer hasn't release new build. I don't know what is the reason. I am excited to see new feature in its interface and navigation settings. Hope to get support from you guys...:fingers-crossed:
