Custom roms on Xperia XA - Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've recently bought an Xperia XA and was surprised when I've found out that this phone has a lack of developper support ...
Anyway, I still wanted to be sure about it so I ask my question here. Is there any custom rom that can be flashed on this device ? One that is considered stable ? Even if it's not an official build like LineageOS.
Or are we doomed to stay on Sony's Marshmallow stock ?
Just asking, not judging or despising any XA's dev or owner !
Thank youuu o/

Has sony abandoned xperia l?

Hii, sorry i searched for a thread like this but didn't found one, so if there is a thread already existing like this i apologize for that_
I wanted to ask that has sony abandoned xperia l? so many days but still no news for an android 4.3 update, let alone 4.4_
No stable aosp roms like cyanogen or aokp.. Will it stay like this or what? Does somebody have any news?
My previous phone was samsung galaxy y, which is a low end phone but it has a hell lot of roms and even when the device is discontinued the roms are still developing_i think xperia l has potential.. Can't it support roms like cyanogen (official stable version) ? Hell even xperia m got one, which has only 4gb of internal_
If somebody have any kind of news please reply.. m sick and tired of checking the updates daily_

Xperia L Future?
Hi
I feel the same for the Xperia L, Sony hasn't given an update schedule for it, there are is no news/rumour on either 4.3 or 4.4 for the Xperia L furthermore although we are backed by official CM support the maintainer is a bit quiet in terms of progress, what makes it worse is that the phone is not that popular especially with the SP overshadowing it.
With my previous phones (Xperia X10 mini pro, Xperia X8 & Live with Walkman) the XDA forums were so full of ROMs/mods/everything you would want-they only got better for me. But with the Xperia L it all feels dead - I reckon mostly because of Sony's lack of info on updates-no one wants a phone that has no good update outlook.
I hope that Sony will update our beloved Xperia L to a stable Kit-Kat, not asking for anymore-the phone does deserve it, beautiful hardware at a nice price.
Yea

I too owned Samsung Galaxy Y. It was a very low end device but had many developments. I bought XL due to cost/performance ratio was good. Unfortunately there is so slow development
Sony has no reason to update our phone since it's a mid-range device. That's why we didn't get 4.3 or 4.4.

Yeah I don't think we're gonna be getting anymore updates.
There will be one more major update to our phone.. Mark my words!!
If what I hear is correct, we should get a working CM11 by the end of this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I don't think Sony has abandoned the Xperia L just yet, honestly.
Perhaps they'll release 4.3/4.4.2 for it someday, but be honest: most people buy the flagship models with their contracts (Z, Z Ultra, Z1, Z2) so they prioritize those.
Yeah we get a very nice performance phone at a cheap price but at the cost of slow development
I checked the list of devices which sony has confirmed won't be getting any updates anymore_xperia l isn't in the list..
But it occurs to me that xperia sp and xperia m were launched with xperia l (xperia m a little after i think) but the phones have received major updates_this thought troubles me..
But we can't do nothing.. we just have to be hopeful and wait for the updates i think
Unless some superhero makes the aosp version stable for us_

well, there's no official statement from sony about dropping the support for xperia L and it's still within the 18 months cycle. So, who knows?:fingers-crossed:
can only speculate whether there will be another update or not, but it's just speculations, so . . .
no one but sony can answer "has sony abandoned xperia l?"
other roms like cm, aokp, etc has nothing to do with sony, it depends on the community :victory:
the official cm is currently in "coming soon" section in fxp :victory:
sony had supported the open resource project by giving the kitkat aosp for xperia L i guess..
eventhough it's not good enough for daily use :crying:
btw i check the updates of the development daily too
well, since there's ptcrb updates on xperia M and it's still within 18 months policy
finger crossed :angel:

[Q] {Q}Sony Xperia Z3 dual (d6633) custom rom ?

Hi Guys , I just wanted to ask are there any custom roms for the sony xperia z3 dual d6633 yet ?
anyone?

I did not try custom ROMs on D6633 yet, I'll wait until Sony stops support beyond Marshmallow and then I'll play. Current modified rooted stock ROM's provide enough customizability that unless pure custom ROM offers amazing new features I am not desperate for custom ROM just yet. I use 3rd party launcher and couple of MODs and I am happy for now.
There are few modified stock ROM's you might wanna try, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/rom-23-4-1-232-t3226948
or this one:

May be this is it for Xperia J

Hi ,
Thanks to developers on behalf of All Xperia J users. All Developers made such an excellent ROM's even we got low Processor and RAM , you have given us speedy ROM's and you let us play/use awesome applications which are impossible with Stock ROM.
Thank you very much again.
Our developers started porting KitKat to our devices but things have changed completely and its became very hard but they have given us some stable KitKat to our Xperia J .
Thank you all.
Regards

FlexOS vs OwnROM

Hello all,
I have a sony ericsson xperia neo v (mt11i) which is currently running FlexOS 5.1.1 lollipop. My experience from this rom isn't bad but it isn't extremely good either so I was wondering if anyone here knew what the best lollipop themed custom rom is for my device. I have taken a look at OwnROM but i haven't flashed it because I am new to the world of custom roms and I don't feel comfortable with flashing things regularly. Aside from these two roms I haven't been able to find any other lollipop themed roms. Can somebody please tell me if there are other roms and also which one is better. keep in mind that I play a lot of games so I would prefer something fast. I would appreciate any responses,
Thank You

the problem with flex is it is very out of date because the flex team stopped building for all devices some time ago, i know because i used to build for them.
i cant speak for the other rom you mentioned, but whatever is available will be here. you will just have to try them and see which one you like, because there is no best rom. everyone thinks whatever one they like is the best, so whatever response you get to that question is mostly useless, other than the one i provided.

No AOSP Roms?

Hello there, i've just bought a Xperia XA and i'm really appreciating it. The only lack that i found is the fact that the dev community is almost empty.
I don't like SONY system at all, i'm coming from a Nexus and i'd like to install a pure android rom. Is there a way to do it? And, another question: i've read few threads about TWRP, why installing a custom recovery if there isn't any rom available? Thanks a lot

The xa isn't part of the open devices programme being a mediatek powered xperia so there is no aosp/aosp based roms, I think Sony's Android skin is the best available far nicer than stock nexus.
Why wouldn't you want a custom recovery like twrp if you only have a rooted device the two to hand in hand in my eyes whether it's stock based or a custom rom..

Hi, you right there is no dev here I'm trying to make a correct "device tree" and "vendor tree" sources to make some rom, it's hard for me because I'm not a dev and I'm working alone.
TWRP is for rooting the device
It may be a cold shower for you if you come from a Nexus lol.
