Rom vs phone variant - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Just a really quick question re z5c, will roms from standard xperia z5 work on the compact version? All things being equal in terms of hardware they should right or are there different kernel playing havoc?

Yu Yureka Phones, similar to Idol 3 5.5?

Hi all,
While looking for a rom to flash on my Idol, I found one guy comparing the Idol 3 5.5 to the Yu Yureka Plus phones.
Seems they are similar.

Maybe another device to follow-up and port from?

Dear lord,they are pretty much identical! O.O
I think that we won't need to do MUCH to port ROMs from the Yureka Plus.
Hopefully one of the two devs we have will try to mix something up. xD

They are totally different phones

I dont mean to be rude,but are you OK?
Exact same CPU,same clockspeed,same amount of RAM,same camera module.
The only possible difference(software-wise) can be the partition tables.

Chipsets are the same but both front and back cameras are different, no dual band wifi, no stereo speakers, no NFC, CDMA, different LTE bands. Its a copy, not a clone.

I over-exaggerated.
I never thought they were identical,but at least in the past,same CPU,camera and RAM were things needed in order to port a rom to another device,other things would be patched up.
I think it would be much easier to try porting a rom for that device and patch some things up than making a rom out of scratch with only 3 devs working for the Idol 3.

Yes, I see what you are saying. It would be a good starting point. I think only the lens configuration is different on the rear cam.

I didn't want to be rude at all, may be the message was misleading.
When I compare identical phone, I think in terms of whether the rom of one phone can be used, after some tweaks, in another phone that you are comparing.
Otherwise, many phones share some level commonless.
Eg. Umi Emax mini and idol 3 5.5 are quite similar except screen size. Look at their rom... they are nearly identical

I know. I was being dramatic.
But it is much easier to port a rom from a device with same CPU and other parts(plus patching some things up) than making a rom out of scratch.

Port Z3 roms to Z3V

Hi, Guys:
I see not much of activities for this Z3v ROM, and I do have z3v in my hand
Really want to taste z3/z5 rom port on this phone
Do you have any idea on how to ?

do not flash any roms not designed for the z3v specifically. I guarantee you will regret it as your phone will no longer work and you more than likely will not be able to fix this even with flashtool and remember Sony pc companion doesn't work either-thanks Verizon. You can port the z5 apps if you want-I've done some not really worth it-you could delete over 150 apps and still retain 99% functionality on this firmware.most the themes and sound mods for the z series work on the z3v (use extreme caution). Don't mess with the camera...ps for the sound mods search heavly pick once as they don't like to be flashed over each other.

Full manual controls for the Xperia Z3 including RAW photos, need help!!

Can you, developers, help the Xperia Z3 with porting a working version of Xperia X camera for us?
I love Xperia Z3 because it has almost everything lacking camera software
Hope you will help
I believe you can
Thank you in advance

I don't think this is going to happen, due to both the phones having completely different hardware

It's possible
Since Xperia Z3+ and up all have the same camera sensor and used the same software on Android 6

Z3's software and hardware are similar to those
Plus other OEMs are launching their mid-range phones with Camera2 API enabled and fully implemented

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...

Buy a pixel 4a 5G if you want to have the choice for custom roms
Yo guys, if you're interested, an unofficial LOS build has just been released for our Xperia 5 II !

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

Question Possible similar device to Neo 3T (rmx3371) ?

Hi,
My colleague want to buy the neo 3T and interested to try installing custom rom. I don't see the Neo 3T section in XDA and I find Neo 2 and Neo 3T are shared similar specs with very minor differences in camera sensor and charging speed.
I'm wondering if all unlock process downright to custom kernel and roms are compatible to each other, does anyone can shed some lights?
i have same question
+1 attention
I have Neo 3T and looking for answer too ;-)
but you will never get an answer because there is no one here...
Some devs post their roms but never answer questions...
Although they are almost identical in terms of spec, the kernel/IO driver that runs from respective motherboard might be different. Let's say in terms of the battery charging control for both. The kernel will control this component and it is the way it differentiates both models. Even if you succeed on flashing the rom, some component on the software or hardware might crash and cannot work properly.

Thanks a lot for your message. Yes, that is absolutely clear. At the moment, I will be very happy just to have working TWRP ;-) Do you think that this could be done?

@AndriiG try this
I don't like Neo 3T. You cant do 120 fps gaming on it, and multitasking is bad. I recommend Mi 11 lite 5G NE
