Phone: Sony Xperia Z3compact
Model: D5803
Android Version: 5.1.1
Love my Z3c, but one major problem haunts my mobile existence. Due to poor eyesight I require 'reflow-on-pinch-zoom' to be present in my firefox mobile browser.
This stopped at version 24 of FF Mobile, due to Google changing how Webview/Android 4.4 KitKat worked.
v23 of FF Mobile now just says it has crashed when you try to open it.
Is it possible for me to flash my X Z3C with older firmware to force it to be compatible with the old way reflow-on-pinch-zoom? Am I correct in thining that if it is possible, I need to be looking at flashing my Z3C with Android 4.3 OS or am I safer going with Android 4.2?

Hi and sorry if the subject is at wrong part of the forum ( i could'nt find my phone model)
A few days ago i bought Sony Xperia E4g and it comes with Android KitKat 4.4 (Even it has 64 bit proc. and released 5 months after Lollipop 5.0 update)
The question is will Sony release update for Xperia E4g (on net, some sites says it will get Lollipop update but i couldnt get any information from Sony via forum / support email)
Any information ?
Search forum for "xperifirm" and you can check your model for latest firmware. I looked around and seems like you will have lollipop soon but it's not released yet for your phone.
Update Tronfy MXIV to Android Lollipop?
I have a Tronfy MXIV TV box that I got from TinyDeals less than 2 months ago which runs Android 4.4.2. A few weeks ago they started selling an updated version with the name Telos with basically the same specs but comes with Android Lollipop pre-installed. Anyone know if its possible to update mine to Lollipop, either with the Telos firmware or a custom ROM?

the same story, now the mx4 telos is about $90, while my MX4 cost me more than 110 dollars, I found this link http://www.tinydealcouponcode.com/2015/08/21/android-lollipop-5-1%EF%BC%9Atronfy-tv-box-firmware-update-from-tinydeal-tech-support/ , use the official firmware and enjoy the best of Android 5.1.
Hi Jackiefire. I'm confused because the link on the TinyDeal website is for the update that has been on Tronfy's website since May. It is build number 202k, which is what my MXIV is running. It is Android 4.4.2, not 5.1 Lollipop. Is there something I'm missing?

The only real difference between them both is android 5 & the gibabit Ethernet.
The tronfy you have should soon be upgrade to android 5 so I would not worry too much about it + there are some bugs on the lollipop rom so I would advise you to stick with kitkat for now
Bugs on android 5 lollipop are

I have Wileyfox Swift and its latest official firmware is Cyanogen OS 13.1.2 (6.0.1) and it's arm64.
This smartphone has clone, which is General Mobile 4G. The hardware is absolutely the same. Not so long time ago it updated to Android 7.0, but this firmware is just arm.
The question is - is it worth it to flash newest Android if my phone has arm64 processor?

Hello,
We would not recommend flashing other device firmware into yours. It may lead to unknown consequences.

I'm trying to figure out if upgrading to Android Oreo would be a good idea.
I'm running Nougat 7.1.2 with CarbonROM iny Sony Xperia Z5, an well, it's official that my device won't upgrade to Android 8.0, but that's not the point.
I'm using Xposed modules, Root (idk if it's possible to root android 8 yet) and all the advantages that it gives in terms of modules, customization, performance etc.
So, should I wait until Xposed is available on Android 8.0 or is ot worth it to upgrade as soon as possible (with a custom rom)?
What do you guys think about it? Would it be stable enough?
Up to which version of Android operating system can the Xperia Z3 be updated, currently with Marshmallow 6.0.1 unrooted, keeping it running at 100% and without having problems of any sort?
And where can I find a good 'guide' to follow in order to be able to make this update?

There is a ROM with Android 8.1
It's quite stable, lacking video recording
Hold on to marshmallow currently until the creation of a stable rom (fully functional)
