Need some help with ROM. - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm on Nougat 7.1.1 AOSP currently, unlocked bootloader, TWRP and rooted. The 7.1.1 isn't that bad, good battery life but i don't get much SOT. I want more SOT 4+h.
I want to flash RXSW 5.1.1 or 6.0.1, found someone say he get 9h SOT on that rom. Need help to decide witch one i should flash or if anyone can recommend a rom for great SOT.
Do i need to downgrade from 7.1.1 to be able to flash lower firmware or can i flash it on top?
Thanks
"it was time for me leaving kk for lolipop, after a week of setting it up on RXSW rom, iam very satisfied :good:
brightness is on ~66%"

5.0.2 kernels? Stay or switch to 5.1.1

I'm still running 5.0.2 on 920t and noticed... There's only 2 kernels left I can download/try.
All the 5.0.2 kernel threads have been switched to 5.1.1 and dont include older download links (at least from what I can see).
I wanted to try Unikernel as I read that the battery was great but can't find a download.
Can anyone share some 5.0.2 kernels? I currently have vindicator r3 (but doesn't offer much tweaking ability or governors).
My next question, should I bother going to 5.1.1?
Best to go 5.1.1

Which emui/android version should I run ?

Hi
I just got myself this phone, I would like to know which software (android/emui) version is the best to run? In terms of minimum amount of lags/bugs, best battery management. I do not mind not having the lastest features as I only use my phone to call/text/browseinet/watch videos.
my phone version is the H60-L04V100R001C00B109SP01.
Thanks guys for your help.
Then I would not upgrade. The Android 4.4 the phone comes with is more likely your best option.

CM 11. If you don't know what that is or are unfamiliar with flashing custom ROMs, then just stay on whatever you are already using.

I know what cyanogenmod is but I don't like it, also I do not want to root or flash custom roms.
thanks for your advice tho
I'd say upgrade to the last KitKat ROM released for your model and stick to it maybe until Marshmallow stable becomes a thing. I wanted to downgrade to KitKat after getting Lollipop as in my opinion it was much better but just couldn't be bothered enough to actually downgrade to be honest.

Got a XT1032 with KitKat, Update?

Hi there,
I got a 2-year-old german retail Moto G XT1032 with Stock 4.4.4 Kitkat as a daily driver. I've rooted it approx. a year a ago, installed the Xposed-Framework with xprivacy and Gravitybox. But the phone seems to get quite slow with standard applications like WhatsApp or the music player. So i deleted the app-caches of the Google Expericence Launcher and some other applications. Now it's not so laggy anymore, but i think with
a new version of Android it could be a bit faster.
I'd like to flash it with a new firmware. Now i dont't know, which one to choose. I've read that, when i want to upgrade to 5.1 or 6.0, i have to update the bootloader. And with this new bootloader i can't switch back
to KitKat, is that right? Now the question is, should i update to Lollipop or Marshmallow. When Lollipop came out, i've heard that it was quite a buggy mess. There were a couple of bugs, which made it unusable as a daily driver. Can you recommend Lollipop as a daily driver over KitKat? As I see, there are only beta (nightly) versions of Marshmallow out for the XT1032. Are they stable enough for using it as a daily driver?
Thanks
Patrick

1. yes, with a new bootloader you cannot go back to Kitkat. Also keep in mind that you need a recent recovery (TWRP 2.8.7)
2. i can only compare custom roms of KK or LP and i dont see a significant advantage of LP, also KK seemed to have the better memory management
3. another suggesting to your problem: if you dont care about having something "new" you might try a custom KK rom where my recommendation would be SlimKat (overall best and most stable rom i have ever used). That may solve your problems, but if you dont like it you can always go back to stock KK or upgrade
I never used my phone much on KitKat but things u will sacrifice on lp or marshmallow is multitasking (ram management) and battery timing but performance on newer os especially on marshmallow is too good I'm using cm13 nightly 03-01-2016 its so stable that know I don't even bother to upgrade to newer nightly its thousand times better than lp I suggest try KitKat ROM still unsatisfied then u only have choice to watch a video of phone running mm then deciding upgrade BTW just use greenify this phone often gets drunk without it

Honor 8 Nougat Super Battery Drain

I am using an FRD-L09 with EMUI 5.0. Current version is B385. I am experiencing serious battery drain issue. I hardly get 4hrs SOT. I didn't even got a chance to work it out on Android 6 as i got nougat update in the day i bought the phone.Any solution to this other than rollback?
If you want to try.....do a factory reset from recovery but if you are unsatisfied of battery life you could use rollback package (transition package) to downgrade, you will find theese files on honor site in firmware section, with instructions inside the zip files

Its best not to upgrade to emui5. I have done enough analysis and found many people regretting the upgrade than enjoying the new features. I'm yet to upgrade though I got the update out of the box.
Follow this link to rollback FRD-L09 to Marshmallow.

If a factory reset didn't work, try an update (if available)
If none of the above worked, you stunt have nothing to do but to rollback

Use the guide provided by rommco , and clean the apps in lockscreen clean up and it won't satisfy , better to rollback to emui4.1 , it was good .

Question about upgrading stock nougat to stock oreo or pie

Hi all. I recently got a U11. I know its already old model but I bought it only at 150 usd and its brand new and a 6/128gb no brand dual sim variant. Just recently updated it to latest nougat version but now I am thinking if its worth upgrading to oreo or pie when talking about performance and battery life. Currently getting around 6hrs SOT. What do you guys think?
Another question is if ever i try to update it to oreo, can I downgrade it to nougat again without unlocking bootloader or modding something?
Thanks and please forgive my bad english.
you can't downgrade without unlocking bootloader I think.
as for me I really don't remember how I was with nougat but oreo was perfect. I remember I redany comments about bad battery life but I was fine.
pie yes, don't ever update to pie. as for oreo I would say do it.
