Any chance of LineageOS on F8331? - Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers

I currently run eXistenZ N 5.0.0, which I love.
However, I feel LineageOS is far more polished and overall a lot better. I'd love to be able to run Lineage. There isn't any reason Lineage can't be on the XZ.
I'm quite disappointed that there isn't CyanogenMod or LineageOS for this phone. I expected at least CyanogenMod to be available for it.
If anyone can find me Lineage or Cyanogen for F8331 or is willing to build it for F8331, it'd be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!

Bump. Same here. No Lineage (CM) ROM yet. Can't find any ETA or anything else.

I will look into porting it to XZ, Unofficial of course (Now that I own a XZ )

Reflashing; 6.x ROM (which) or 7.x ROM (which)?

Im currently on stock 6.x but my phone is getting pretty full and bugs out sometimes so I think its about time I do a fresh flash.
Is it possible to do a nandroid backup to a NAS server? A 64GB nandroid backup to a already full phone is kind of hard.
Next, I can either go 6.x or 7.x
7's notification style and doze battery life optimizations seems nice. Automatic system updates using another partition also seem good but I imagine that can only be used on Pixel.
6.x I imagine though is more stable.
So which ROM?
I personally like Android nougat more than M. Also, i find it stable enough for daily driver. I have been switching between various Nougat ROMs to find out which i like more. I am finally settled with Cm 14.1 nightlies for now.
RESURRECTION REMIX [5.8.0]
Awesome ROM with tons of customization.

Resucrrection is way to bloated/heavy. Im sure our phone can take it but.
Looking for a Marshy? Sultans is your best bet. Simple. Stable. Clean. Reliable.
I tested almost all nougat roms. I'm stuck with legend right now, for me seems the most balanced and without serious bugs.
What about jgcaap's rom? Isn't it any good?
Official Nightly vs Jcaap vs Resurrection Remix, which is the best?
Thank you for threads like this - you can't ask in a particular ROM's thread about other ROMs... I tried the "unofficial" (CAF) 7.1.1 Ressurection Remix and I've had problems with the screen going black, doesn't mean anyone else will. So, I'm also looking for which 7.1.1 ROM to try next and want other's opinions because I just don't have time to try ALL of them myself, full wipe, install all the apps and data again, setup everything... For a day or two then on to the next over and over, but I do try to try at least a few.
The ONLY reason why I don't want 7.1.1 for certain right now is no Xposed for it yet. But, perhaps I can live without Xposed for a while as long as I have: root, adblock, privacy guard, profiles...
I'm thinking to try the "Official" 7.1.1 Resurrection Remix next? Opinions?
I recommend jgcaap's CM14.1. It's been very fast and stable with good battery life for me. He's also busy implementing Sultan's camera blobs, so camera quality is also going to be nice. Try it out for yourself, you won't regret it!
Which nougat ROM has the best battery life and the smartbar/fling navbar features?
I'm not giving up Xposed without that navbar LOL
Oh, didn't remember that Xposed isn't avalaible for 7.x yet.
Forget it. 6.x based ROMs then.

I'm having issues finding the ROM that works best for me too. I've had to resort to cm ROMs because I can't find an aosp based MM ROM that has the latest security patches. There's so few of them too . I'm currently on jgcaaps cm13 running lightning caf v50 color. Its pretty stable, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the darn thing bootloops immediately after setting selinux to enforcing. I've always set it to enforcing for security reasons in the past, and had no issues. Jgcaaps cm13 I think has the best camera hal of all the ROMs because its using color os. Not caf, sultan, or cyanogenmod (I don't even know how people consider cm hal usable).
For 7.1.1 I've tried some of the ROMs but they're missing way too many features IMO. The camera hal is one (most are using cm or caf, meh) the only 7.1.1 ROM I know of that possibly has color os hal is jgcaaps cm14. Another thing is xposed. I don't like to give google full permission over my entire system to record and do as they please, therefore I use microg. The only thing is to get micro g working, you need to have a ROM that either supports fake signatures in the developer options (ROM maintainer has to implement this, its not too hard) or an xposed module to force fake signatures. I haven't come across a single ROM here that has micro g support so I'm forced to use xposed. On top of that I use the xprivacy xposed module which is miles better at protecting your privacy than privacy guard or appops.
So yeah personally I think jgcaaps cm13 ROM is the best we have right now for MM roms. All the other MM ROMs haven't been updated with security patches in quite a while from my experience. If you don't use micro g or xposed then I would recommend jgcaaps cm14 for the color os hal, but I havent checked out his ROM in a while. I wish there was still some development on MM for our oneplus one because it seems I'm stuck between choosing discontinued MM ROMs for features + stability or actively maintained ROM with bugs + less features. I've been working on finding out how to merge security patches in to discontinued ROMs because of this. But I don't have much time in my life right now sadly.

danieldmm's TugaPower ROM has microG support out of the box and there's no need to install it as a system app. HAL is still CM but it is updated very frequently (I think it supports delta OTA updates) and has latest security patches too. Had absolutely no bugs for me when I used it last time :good:

ROM for Huawei G620s

I am looking for a stable ROM for my Huawei G620s. Until now sitting on CM12 and CM13 even then it was ok, but needs something better. I tested the official LineageOS and Mokee with android 7 but have numerous bugs. In LineageOS camera is not working and the flashlight, and in Mokee microphone and speaker during the call.
Is there any working rom with android 7 for this phone?
Alternatively, some other stable ROM with long battery life

This gets asked for all devices, all the time. You'll get the same answer everyone else does.
You will have to do like everyone else, try several or even all of the ROMs for your device and decide for yourself which one you prefer, find one that fits YOUR purposes, what someone else thinks is best may not be what is best for YOU.

Need a nougat based OxygenOS experience ROM..

Hi there...
I am looking for a rom that can give experience like OxygenOS 4. I mean, OxygenOS launcher, apps etc..
Dont ask me to try all roms because its too hard, lots of roms out there for opo.
Am just askin,g is there any rom out there like what i want?
It's impossible
There are no OxygenOS ROMs out there for the OPO. I don't get what you mean with "too hard". If you like the CyanogenOS stock experience you should try LineageOS 14.1 which is based on Android 7.1.2. And you just need an unlocked bootloader, a recovery and a zip. Nothing hard in this.

No idea, never tried that. I once used the first OxygenOS when it first came out and didn't like it since it didn't have any customization that COS gave me. I love Cyanogen works and will stick with it forever ?

There are two latest oxygen os roms ported from OPX but they're marshmallow.

Any highly customized recent build of Marshmallow?

I had a previous post looking for nougat ROM's, which basically got a resound silence, making it clear the answer was no.
Are there any highly customised 6.0.1 ROM's for the xt897? and by "highy customised" I mean something like Resurection Remix OR AICP etc etc. I know there are Lineage and Mokee builds, but they are a little too "vanilla" for me. Currently I am running Lineage Xposed to the hilt!:silly:
And by recent i mean in the last month or less. I know there was an AICP build about a year ago (by moonlight), but I was hoping for something more recent; and therefore hopefully a little less buggy.
Anything?

Looking for *stable* custom ROM

I realize that this is not the first topic to ask for custom ROM advice, and that the general advice is "try some and pick the one you like best". This thread is different in that I am specifically looking for a stable custom ROM. I was surprised to find out that LineageOS does not offer any stable builds for our device, nor does AOKP; they both only offer nightlies. Are there alternatives that do offer stable builds?
You can try Ressurection Remix. I used it last month and its pretty stable. Also this ROM recently (22.12.17) got update.
Also have great customization options too!

But if you want good Oreo 8.1 Rom then I suggest crDroid. I use it now and i am satisfied with it. Only flaw that i cant get Magisk root to work. (also recent update 21.12.2017)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/development/rom-crdroid-android-4-0-t3696388
Nothing is as stable as stock.

me too Nougat will be preferable, so maybe someone with experience will say something, now I am on stable STOCK
do you want a 7.1.1 build (probably CM/Lineage 14.1) or Oreo (probably new aospex https://forum.xda-developers.com/20...xtended-rom-v5-0-t3681997/page53#post75051303 but camcorder not work in 8.x builds have to use footej or cameraFi2.) Holler if you need more pointers. LinOS 15.x is not supported at the moment even though the thread is there.
look at https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/pursuing-8-1-osprey-moto-g-2015-t3718416 for pointers to 3 other 8.x builds.
You can try this - Ressurection remix, very stable Nougat 7.1.2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-2-t3587204
Resurrection Remix is not stable - according to the topic you link to, it's Beta
If Oreo roms do not have full functionality, then I'll have to stick to Nougat!
yep.
I have been running nightlies (12/15 and updated to the 12/29 yesterday just because I was messing with something) on Lineage OS 14.1, and as far as I'm concerned, it seems as stable as a CM 'snapshot'. This is my primary phone, and I haven't had a random reboot, or any issues to speak of like I was used to with older ROMs on previous phones. I've been on it for a few weeks, finally decided it was time to unlock the bootloader and get off of the stock ROM, since the device is well past the stock OTA window.
If you recall on CM, "stable" releases were pretty rare and usually came out well after the next android version was already released. I'm planning to update maybe once a month, I don't see the need to jump on every nightly, but occasionally something interesting gets added to an update.
