Again, this is a self explanatory thread, but I'll try to explain it so that anyone can understand it.
Xperia M2 upgrade 18.6.A.0.182 is, at the moment of writing this, only available via OTA, which means that if you don't get the notification about the update, you can't get it in any way.
Providing that, and that there're lot's of people currently using Custom Roms, such as OmniRom, CM12.1, SlimLP, Xperia Z5 S.T.Y.L.E., and Gaurav's Deodexed ROMs, they might not be able to get the update. So, if that's your chase, this is for you.
How to install it?
Download the flashable zip, flash it through your preferred recovery and enjoy. As simple as that!
Where can I check quality improvements?

Which one are you using? Here with Z5 v2 camera port (with M2 resolution settings by boyrock) everything is working fine, excepting when you open fron camera from lockscreen, that's the only thing that gives crashes..
Using gauravs z2 port final version all installed on fresh install with stock camera from that port, get same with this patch with the updated files. Camera opens from camera button and from lockscreen it focuses ect then shuts off abruptly just before capturing the image tried clearing apps data and wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Adrian something must be f****d up in your current setup, because it's working fine for me in Z2 deodexed rom. :silly:
And my guess is that it's something related with upgrading via PRF, maybe something is breaking this.

Nope can't be cause the camera was working superbly for 5.1 till I installed gauravs z2 deodexed port and xposed it worked once the first time I tried it then ever since just fc's just as capturing the image.

Try disabling/removing Xposed. I remember a user had some troubles with camera when having it installed. Maybe is related.
CC/ @sub1zero [in case you're using Xposed right now]
Nope,xposed isn't problem i uninstall xposed and same fc when try to capture.

Wipe dalvik after uninstalling it. Once you install Xposed it leaves some traces, this is not the appropiate way of testing... Probably camera will be unrecoverable until you flash a clean FTF, same goes to @[email protected]om. I'm quite sure is something related to this.
It was a totally clean fresh installation of everything to avoid these problems. This is why I waited so long before flashing the mod

Is it a good idea to try porting Moto G Rom to Xperia M2 Aqua ?
Clear is a good idea. If you can do that? I'll try anyway.

I don't think so, we have similar hardware, but not the same. You can try, and you can get it!
Good luck!

You practically lose nothing when you unlock your bootloader, except for OTA upgrades and xperia lounge is faulty.

No, once you lost it, you can't do anything about it I'm sorry
Thanks for your help to bad for the mirroring it is not Working anymore.
And most people say you don't loose anything if you don't back them up on the m2. The music music info download in music won't work either to be honest Im surprised the camera even works properly as most other models suffer from some form of camera loss of Performance and it's locked down by Sony otherwise surely we would have camera working on all custom roms

Please suggest what are the top things / tricks we can do if we already root our Xperia M2? I'm looking for Xposed but it's not working as of now.
You can clean apps that you don't need/use so they don't take space/battery, use apps that works with root permission (Titanium Backup, SD Maid, AFWall etc), change zRam so it doesn't waist battery, theme your apps like you want.
Sent from my D2303
Don't think there is much unless you know how to compile mods yourself. We don't even have a superuser mod available for installing other Xperia apks. Xposed I can't see ever working on Sony 5.1 m2 as t2u has had the same problem since 5.0 was released months ago and nothing has been done about it deodexing tools don't work either so we can't even deodex the rom. I've deleted all the Sony/google apps I never use to make a bit of space. I've left my zram settings as Sony intended and I'm getting great battery life, best suggestion is have a look round on here but make a backup before doing anything in case of problems later on

Is a stock rom, without almost any visual modification. All the good things are under the hood and are not visible
Exactly what i need!!!
Great job, tks!! :good:
But i found a bug, when i changed any tile in quick settings, SystemUI and Xperia Home just gone, close with no advice, left only the wallpaper, no more. I followed every step as indicated.
By the way, could not get the camera works, how did you do?
Apart from that, everything perfect!!
Tks again (sorry my bad english)
Until now camera still doesn't works, you can use 3rd camera app.. but for bluetooth you must backup our original file [ Bluetooth folder -> bluetooth.apk ] and put that in to flashable.zip .. when you finish flash deodex zip try to use bluetooth .. if still fc then flash your bluetooth backup zip.. and this step works for me.

Surely you could just make a backup of the build prop file before flashing the mod then replace afterwards as the included build prop is from the dual sim model. Or remove the build prop from the flashable zip altogether.

It's not only the build.prop, the zip wipes Data for the Conversations & Contacts (Phone) apps, and delete some conflictive odexs generated + Installing non-dual sim apks... Check the Updater-script.
