Firstly,apologies if this is not the right section.
We all know that android source code is available.So my question is how can I build the source code and install on any device?For example if I have an old device for which updates are not available.Can we just flash it with any android stock rom?Not talking about custom rom.
Can we take the source from github and just build and flash on our device?Because android is hardware independent? Like we can install ubuntu on any system?
Sony Mobile is committed to supporting the open developer community, and one way to show this is by publishing parts of our code as well as selected tools developed by our internal developers.
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
If you want to build AOSP for your unlocked Xperia device, you find all the resources you need in the sections below.

I assume AOSP_L_MR1_151203_castor.zip has the v14 and therefore a working camara, right?
There was another issue with AOSP on Z2 LTE Tablet, namely that in Youtube some colors got psychedelic.
Has anyone verified if this is problem is gone.
I run latest FXP CM 12.1 FXP-cm-12.1-20150810-UNOFFICIAL-castor.zip and I am happy with it.
Is there perhaps a CM in the make with v14?

I read in post
How to enable and enter recovery mode
1. Use the Flash tool for Xperia devices to install the latest generic software on your unlocked device.
2. Use the Flash tool for Xperia devices to install <device name> (Open devices) TA update.
so 2 questions:
- can one, instead of latest generic software, also have latest FXP AOSP software installed?
- where are the "<device name> (Open devices) TA update" files to be found?
(or does Flash tool for Xperia find those automagically?)
also: I have no Windows machine and use Androxyde on MacOSX or Linux. Will this work?
We have published new binaries

Hi,
What is Jelly? https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/...e_browser_hello_jelly_official_in_changelogs/
All credits go to LineageOS team. I managed to recompile their new default web browser - Jelly to be able to run and use it on Android 5.0 and newer (it supports 6.0 and newer by default). So, if you like to get lightweight, modern and fast web browser for your device, but you own old Android, you can try my Jelly build.
