De-Bloated ROM Recommendations for the XZP - Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers

I was a huge fan of Cyanogen Mod when it was in development due to its sleek UI
& because all those apps like facebook were ditched letting the owner decide what they did\did not want installed on there device.
What ROM for the XZ Premium G8141 is comparable to CM which is stable & deboated that you'd reccommend?

[Q] Any Xperia based ROMs for HTC Desire S?

Hi All,
Is there any Xperia based ROM (Only ICS+, no G available for HTC Desire S?
Please comment.
Merry Xmas to all..
Errr, there arent much roms in dev section, and the roms are pretty similar.
It is either different version of sense from different ports or different cm/aosp/aokp which runs with trebuchet or something similar.

I pretty mch used every other ROMs. I m now in Sabsa Prime 10.1 from Paranoid ROM, CyMod10, 10.1 etc...
But, i like to have a feel of new Xperia ICS+ ROMs.
Thanks for reply.
i've tried to port an xperia rom to desire s..... Ended up with a lot of bugs...
Camera not working
No sound coming out the speaker
3g connection not working
wifi won't function at all..
Btw iam not a developer i've just gave it a try
I don't think any developer (among the very few who are still active on Desire S) will try to work on a Xperia based ROM. I guess there will be many kernel based issues (I'm no dev, just a guess).
But I think this new Xperia Launcher by ra3al might help you get that Xperia feel. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021332
Thanks @Kingdomds. Even i thought of that. Anyways, thanks for the update.
@tech_gooner - After using XperiaLauncher only, i asked that qn. But, Xperia LAuncher taking heavy toll on normal usage of Sabsa Prime Sense.
Any way Im going to flash ViperSAGA soon.

I used Xperia Launcher for nearly two weeks on CM10 and 10.1 (flinny's builds), and it did not have any major battery drainage.

@tech I m not telling about battery. Thats fine.
But, phone became extremely slow. I think Sense goodies running with Xperia makes it tough for the phone.
Anyways, that led me to try the Viper Saga. Its awesome..

[Discussion] Why Do You Use / Like CyanogenMod ?

you all know our Great Friend / Developer Adam has provided us CM 10 & 10.1 for us (Galaxy R) and after Adam released his Sources we got around 10 Different kind of ROM's Based on CM 10 / 10.1 and i saw so many hard code fan's for CM (CyanogenMod) including me.....
So My Question is very simple :
Why Do You Use / Like CyanogenMod ?
My Answer:
1. I started using CyanogenMod and I saved 25% on my Car / Bike Insurance..
2. I started using CyanogenMod and lost 10kg's, so i am happy ...
Just Joking guys, please don't post like this ... .....
1. It's slimmer than stock ROM.
2. Up to date (Android 4.2.1)...
3. can be configured as per your wish.
4. It's faster Compared to Stock ROM's...
5. Stock Google Feel and better......
1. Latest version of Android.
2. No bloatware.
3. Optimized Code - Thanks to community and gerrit review.
4. Helps my addiction towards flashing, learning new things.
5. Making fellow s2 owners at work feel poor even though they spent 10k INR more.
Will edit this post to include more as I get to understand better.
Sent from my Galaxy Royale with Adam's CM10.1 build.
For me, When I listed its Official ringtone "Cyanogen modddddddd" My heart says, " I have 4.2.1 JB in my phone" Even My note 2 doesn't have it.:cyclops:
1) Smoother then other ROMs.
2) Small in size & I can have 3 roms(versions) in my memory card.
3) Latest things happened in it including Stock ROM features.
4) Project butter in it. ( I think)
5) Great themes for us.
Lots more, right now very much busy. Will right more in evening..
1 lots of new features added like day dream,calender nd messages menu in lock screen bars
2 cool Quick panel view
3 rotation in launcher and home screen(liked this feature the most)
4 battery backup simply awesome
5 CM 10 supports cool and awesome themes
and many more features..
i can say i have the latest available version of android now..:good:
1. Similar to AOSP/AOKP.
2. Wicked fast.
3. Smooth since project butter.
4. New features since it is the latest version(4.2.1).
5. Better UI.
6. Since it is d latest version, i can brag about my SGR even in front of SGS2 and other high end fones like HTC, Sony..
7. And last but not the least, Adam was the one who brought life to our SGR when samsung ignored us.. So hats off to XDA community and also CM for their support..
I hate to wait, and I think so does CyanogenMod! Its SuperFast, SuperSlim.
It has given me everything that I've been looking for in a ROM for a long time.
Plus, I get to boast about JB and Google Now among my friends.
Lastly, I think CyanogenMod holds a very special place for us coz, it was the first source built ROM for the Galaxy R and it was Adam who got it for us and since then our little Galaxy R forum went from being a quiet place into a ROM frenzy. Thanx to great awesome dev's like MJ.Vikram, Grarak, Karthik etc
CyanogenMod <3 <3
1. CM is smooth makes me happy using my phone.
2. Only CM offers JB on Galaxy R (now i can say its Royal).
3. One great guy made it especially for me Adam77Root (with forumers help ofc)
4. Damn look nice and i got full control.
5. Thanks to CM, Adam and You guys i didn't sell my phone (after ICS release by samsung i want to sell it).

CM is pretty awesome.. Things like customizing the look and feel of the entire OS to even basic things like switching from 2G-3G with a single click make me appreciate its beauty! Brilliant efforts have been put behind the scenes for making something like this, and we, the users of CM are thankful to all the developers! Cheers!

1. It´s the best Custom ROM
2. Fast
3. Smooth

and much, much more
It gave me one very important thing it gives your phone what it deserves.
i like cm because:
it is smooth, slick and easy to use, plus looks cool.
games never lags.
its 4.2.2!
but!
i CAN'T use cm because:
i cant see my sd card when i need it.
phone doesnt wake up (screen does not lit) when you receive a message.
i love rosemary font which belongs to stock ics, but i dont want to install an 3rd party app for that.
vibration strength is very low so i can't feel it.

[DISCUSSION] Miui 8 Global Stable(8.0.1.0)(LXIMIDG) leaked build for MI4I review

Hello guys,
So many of us mi4i users have received the miui 8 stable ota update and some of us have downloaded the rom using the links in miui forum and xda forum.
I downloaded it using the bigota link. And flashed it using Twrp on 20th. I was on Global beta.
So after 2days of usual this is what i feel about the rom.
Let me divide it into simple points of pros nd cons.
Lets start with the cons.
1) Its still on 5.0.2 which is the biggest disappointment for many. Well i pretty much expected it to be as Global beta was also on 5.0.2
2) Camera focus issue is far from fixed.
3) Memory optimisation is better than the last miui stable but yet leaves a lot to be desired.
4) Some new features dont work sometimes. Like the scrolling screenshot doesnt work on all apps.
5) Still no voLTE support though the chipset supports it.
6) To me beta rom feels a lot better compared to the stable one. In every aspect.
Those were the major cons with the device.
Now coming to pros here. Nothing much special to expect.
1) New miui features are good as long as they work. I m not gonna write all the features in different points. Coz everyone alredy knws the new features.
2) From Miui 6 to now miui 8 xiaomi has really optimized the snapdragon 615 to the minimal heating experience.
3) The memory optimisation as i said in cons is improved but still a lot left to be done.
This is all i could find. Please feel free to write down below what you think about the New miui8. What you liked and disliked about this update.

Looking for good Xperia Z3 ROM.

As title says after owning Xperia Z3 for good 2 months I've decided to finally install some custom ROMS for it. I just know which one. I'm preferably looking for ROMS that keep the Xperia UI, Xperia music player (which I absolutely love) and Xperia camera app so nothing really like Cyanogenmod or similar.
You can use SliMM 3.8! It's great!

Look at the Existenz rom, Xperia UX, with a lot a customization.
I think this is the rom with the most features that us a Stock rom as base

Try slim rom if you want a stock approach or fragment rom for xperia xz look or if you like full customization within the rom try existenz rom

If you want the Stock Look and Feel like on Google phones try the Google Style V1 Rom.
Battery is great and so far it dont have any bugs.

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 ;-)

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...

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
