Hi all,
I've been visiting these forums for some time now to gain info on my Xperia and I've finally decided to become a member so I can contribute to threads.
I have a question regarding screen quality though,
is it possible to install custom video drivers taken from other android devices in order to improve resolution or colour display?
Thank you for your time!
The phone has to be nand unlocked to do so..its still WIP.

Well, it's not true. Check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829660, step #4 does just what you want.

Yes! Great work! Maybe it's just me, but it would be great if you could also put a description of each ROM in layman's terms. Personally, I don't find most of the descriptions provided by the devs in their first posts very helpful either. Since there is no audio I think it would be very helpful to know what's different about them.
If you are the dev of one of these ROMs or one not listed, maybe you will consider my request as well?

They are almost the same... It's android OS. The only difference I can notice is the colors of the interface. Sometimes there some apps mods and difference in the camera UI but everything about this is in the description of each ROMS threads.
TriPNMiUI is the one with the biggest changes. But I show em all in the video.
Someone should sticky this thread!

Which I said I don't find very helpful. Those descriptions assume you understand all the abbreviations and numbers. To someone familiar I am sure it is crystal clear, but for a noob trying to decide between ROMs it's a bit confusing. That's why I asked for it in layman's terms.
In response to your brief description, and please remember I am new to the development aspect... Why do we need/have four nearly identical mostly working ROMs, rather than people working together on one fully functional ROM? Does working on cracking the bootloader or the drivers for the camera require a different skill set than developing one of these ROMs?

One ring to rule them all?
You know what I want to know is where are the lawyers? With the official announcements regarding malware that requires a os update, I'm curious about the liability issues when you are locked in to a contract without a update to your locked device.

Now is the time, if any, to flood SE forums, blogs, comments, and email with this legitimate reason to update. No more unique X10 (2.1) user experience versus generic 2.2 being a fair alternative.
Thank you! thank you! thank you!!!!.... you have sorted out and condensed a lot of time showing actually working rom's to update my "first" love but now my girlfriends x10i
Good stuff ... i tell you.. one again thanks
What is the photo widget used in the first video? Its about 1m20s in to the video. Is it part of the arc launcher?
Hi,
1st tought.
You should make the videos with original package and without any add;
2nd tought
Great idea!!! Congrats
@JBM
allskin wasn't trying to not give you the answer in layman's terms, he was merely stating that if its froyo its all the same functionality wise. They all have basically the same speed and features. The difference mainly being visual, which the video works well at showing. If it has CM in the title or Cyanogen Mod it means that it includes a set of personalization options in the settings menu. The only fully working roms are those that are based on 2.1 eclair. Most the number notations are just version numbers which do not corrolate between roms in any way. Trips miui rom is only different because its functionality is designed around behaving like an iPhone. All the same features are still there though.
So really, its as simple as choosing if you want the cm options or not and if you want a iPhone style or not. Between the pics and these here videos, the visual effects/design will depend on what you like.
If you want more advice please feel free to pm me so we don't clog this thread with off topic discussion.

Compumasta, thanks for answering my question. Sorry, I really didn't think it was off topic. It was more of a clarification, but I am sure others will benefit from your answer as well.
Hey there guys and girls!
I know its nothing new but the idea of having a off-topic thread really hits the beat.
Was getting bored and there were a lot of OTT to choose from...so i decided to create a new one.
I know its so awesome of me to call off-topic threads as OTT!
This OTT will be known as **Gabbar Singh** LoL

I was thinking of discussing this with you people.
The Idea: Using the free storage in the external memory card as additional RAM in our android machines
Verdict: Rate it on a scale of 10 and obviously your comments are anticipated.

Yeah, sonyvdrvice is easy to unlock, there many root workarounds in the forums, and good roms, BUT beware of the slow update and they just abandon even the flagship phone a year before the current year...
But still... FXP Team is there to support whatever sony phone you'll buy...

So my current device now is the wildfire buzz from htc ... I was going to sell it but after installing (cm9) on it I had second thoughts (thanks to xda-developers )
any way that's not my question ... my question is ( I want to get another mobile and I want it to be one of a kind so I was thinking to get the new iPhone 5 and I was very convinced .. until I saw that magnificent device the Xperia Z and now I'm puzzled .. what should I do ... go with this magnificent android device or try the IOS device that have a lot of people using it right now and saying that it will last for a long time with no problems)
So the bottom line is ... what's your professional opinion about this problem???

Well the Xperia Z and The iPhone 5 are very different in many ways but the biggest is clearly the OS... Android vs iOS. Well in my opinion Android is the better one but that is my opinion... Everyone has its own taste in smartphones so go to the next shop and test some of the newest android devices and then the iPhone 5, watch some comparison videos, read some articles about it, etc.
On the hardware side there are some big differences aswell:
Snapdragon S4 Pro Quad-Core chip for the Xperia Z and Apples A6 Dual-Core Chip for the iPhone
1Gb Ram iPhone vs 2Gb Xperia Z
4" Retina Display with 326ppi on the iPhone vs 5" Full HD 420ppi Xperia Z
Both are pretty awesome devices... So either way you go, you can't go wrong

In my opinion, iPhone was the best in like 2 years ago. After I do root, ul boot loader, install ROMs and port ROMs etc... I will never leave my android... it is up to you whether to choose what but I suggest Xperia Z.

Hi everyone is it worth a switch from sony z2 to opo? I care for battery and camera that's all. Sony is slow on their updates which is terrible but i do like the phone. Don't like the low call volume sometimes people can't hear me. Please share your thoughts. Thanks

I've had the Z2 and i must say this is definitely an worthy update the one and only thing i think the Z2 excels in might be the camera but custom and official rom support is way better with the one

Hello guys, here is my thread for my video tutorials and reviews (all about z3). Im planning to post many video reviews (rom reviews, themes etc..) and video tutorials (how to root z3, install some mods/roms/recovery/etc/etc....) Everything that i will post here will help community! So first im starting with unboxing and hands on of Z3:
CLICK FOR VIDEO
Review:
COMING SOON
Tutorials and videos:
Get Root and Recovery on Android L/5.0.2
GET XPOSED ON ADNROID L
GET ROOT AND RECOVERY - WITHOUT DOWNGRADING TO KITKAT
Let me know if you need some help or if you want review of your ROM/MOD/APP and things like that.
Mods, please stay patient i will add a lot here .
UPDATE:
Get Root and Recovery on Android L/5.0.2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCol59PY04o
Here is one bump, why? Im really hard working on my videos, but as i can see there is not much people that saw my videos about z3? I just want to know are they that bad or what? Since xperia sp i had much much more views on videos, i didnt expected just 300 views for 2 days, really. Is xperia z3 that unpopular?
Not really, just that the phone has been out for a long time now and there have been plenty of reviews made already. If you search the general section back a few months you will find them.
also, there are plenty of guides on how to root, so these videos are not really up to date news.....

It is stock .690 but i can see it it little bit faster than the stock i had previously, i have about 45k score in antutu on this stock
So guys, i dont know, i dont have any idea about what video should i make next...? Any idea over there ? Some Rom, Mod review, i dont know really. I was usually recording some rom reviews when i had my lg g2 ( xperia z3 is offcourse better but there is no bunch of roms and mods for it, thats because it is best sonys phone i think so and it doesnt need much improvments like some phones need) but now i dont have any idea, i also have ps4 but not planning to post any gameplays. Maybe some gameplay via remote play, do you think someone will watch it?Some tutorial? Im really confused and without any idea what to do next.
Hey KiaTheKing, personally I feel you must make videos of Mods/Roms - Custom & Stock/Rooting and so on. It would really help people who are a little slow to learn all this great stuff. Now many people are craving for the xposed framework for example but aren't sure how to get it working which has been patched in the Android development forum. That may help many plus may give you many views. Thanks for starting this thread.
