The CyanogenMod and FreeXperia team is happy to announce CyanogenMod support for multiple Xperia™ devices.
Users of Sony Ericsson devices have been left out of the CyanogenMod experience for a while now. We are happy to announce that users will be able to enjoy a full-fledged CyanogenMod with nearly full hardware support (we are still working on FM radio) starting in our next release. You can also expect nightly builds and more instructions soon.
Supported XPERIA™ handsets:
2010 phones:
- Xperia X10
- Xperia X8
- Xperia X10 Mini
- Xperia X10 Mini Pro
2011 phones:
- Xperia Arc
- Xperia Neo
- Xperia Mini
- Xperia Mini Pro
- Xperia Play
- Xperia Ray

Andreas Makris (Bin4ry), Diogo Ferreira (defer) and Alin Jerpelea (jerpelea, FXP) will be maintaining these devices from now on.
We would like to stress that work on the 2011 lineup would not have been possible without the strong involvement of Sony Ericsson with the developer community. In addition to providing unlockable bootloaders to all new devices, they provided us both with devices and technical expertise that proved invaluable in making all this happen.

i cant wait! good job cyanogen and freeXperia team...
This is great news! Cant wait for their 1st native x8 release
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
OH
oh finaly something awesome... without any bugs OR BATTERY eating roms!
Guys, come and say thank to jerpelea (or FXP) and FreeXperia Team, or buy them some beers. He's been working very hard to be able to merge our Xperia series to CM.
It is still early in development, so many things still need to be done before our nightlies can be officially built.
Whats the advantage of this?

uhm. we will get our own nightly build? I think so.
This is a good news for everyone, wew.. haha...
Hope this will keep running and "WISHING GET A ICE CREAM SANDWICH because i want it" haha... Keep waiting.... (But why the blogs of cyanogenmod doesn't update our phone??)
have you read the post from the link ?
"you may be interested in knowing that the upcoming CyanogenMod release will feature support for 10 new devices"
just wait for the release
whats the diference between CM and gingerDX? does it have more stuff? faster? batterybug-less? or is it just a great news because it means better support for ours X8s?
Upcoming? 7.2 or earlier? Cant wait
yes some one please tell me the advantages of this?
does this mean a fully stable cm7 rom?
it meens more advanced developers working together to make there own CM version
If I understood dx well, our FXP's rom will be officially supported by CyanogenMod and will get all the official updates as soon as possible.
Or CyanogenMod devs and FXP will build it together?
Anyway, great news and be patient... we have everything now
Sorry for the noob question, but I can't perfectly understand...
What to mean "official"? Its a CM7 upgrade from Cyanogenmod, and its a "Custom" ROM? Or CM team works together with SE, and everyone can upgrade to CM7 with the SE PC Companion?
(I think ist a Cyanogen upgrade...)
Wow, it keeps on getting better for us

as of right now our roms are based on the HTC Hero nightlies.
Hello!
I like the new rom: OmniROM.
CyanogenMod don't officially and unofficially support Xperia SP. There are very few roms for this phone, because at least one official would come in handy
Is there any chance of support for this model?
Regards
stumek123
SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH!
Why isn't it officially supported? I was looking at the SP when I was buying a new phone, seems to be a nice device.

The SP is a really nice mid range device. I almost bought one instead of my Xperia T. Dunno why it's not widely supported by ROM devs.

Correct. I'll be modifing the tree later to provide Omni support as well.
CM Bringup is done for 10.2 and CM10.1 on the CM GH
Feel free to port or wait until I have some spare time.
This is OmniROM for Xperia SP! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if camera and modem will be supported in the future.
well thats good news
I love how people Hage such amazing text interpretation skills. The device tree was added to Github. There are lots of resources there for third party devs to work on and build their own AOSP, or AOSP based ROM.
But this isn't a official release. There never was. This is meant for developers and developers only.

I'd argue it's an official release - a release for developers, but it's still official.

I see this too much... Aka agreement on ur post
And secondary point,
Not a rom, its neither a aosp rom
Yes official but its purely there for CM11, AOSP and any deviant developers to correct problems with their builds or correcr sonys problems
Its a greed thing sony is doing, it will benefit sony as well as xda devs
So... I wont be able to have AOSP rom with locked bootloader on my Xperia?

Unlocked bootloaders ONLY. If you still had a locked bootloader and ran AOSP, then your warranty wouldn't be void, thus creating problems for Sony, with non Devs users returning phones and help queries etc...

But if AOSP is provided by Sony themselves, why would they threat it as warranty voiding?
Lets take for example Xiaomi, for Mi3 and Mi4 gsmarena.com said that You could choose either MIUI or AOSP, and You get OTA updates for both (I am not sure if that is official, I do not own a Xiaomi device). Would be great if Sony would do something similar, Google Play Edition would also work for me, as long as I get to keep all the Bravia Engine and X-Reality goodness
I believe it should work on LB.
That's the whole point...
Sony want AOSP users to use their kernels and their fw, work tested in their labs.
It should work on LB as well...

There is a difference between google play editions and kernel source. If the source is precompiled, its as good as stock. Uncompiled source can be edited to cause serious hardware damage resulting in the void of warranty clause.
Xiaomi is yet to release kernel source for Mi3 and Mi4.

I don't understand your point here...
I know there are differences, that's why Sony works on this, officially.
We have CM and AOSP ROMs for Z1/Z2 but Sony now hired guy from here to help them in building AOSP that'll work on LB and is released by Sony.
That way, they still can control and approve what will go to device abd what won't...
Maybe I'm wrong but what's the point of releasing AOSP without kernel support from bootloader?
We already have that..
My guess would be - they want us to use AOSP but they don't want us to unlock bootloader and mess with DRM keys.
It will work on LB because when sony compile a kernel its got a Sony Signature which matches that of a locked bootloader
So any AOSP compiled rom by sony is for LB

I'm sure many here will not see this as a "bad bad bad news". Having an official lollipop firmware in a 2.5 old device is more than anyone could ask for. Having a solid 5.1.1 build is better than having the latest build.
More than happy with the support from SONY,and more than enough to stay on the ship

Cherish to sony for long support to our old device.Better than other OEMs.
Yea 5.1.1 was the best build i agree.
But i hope(i know they will) our rom devs will port android 6.0 from other xperia devices getting dat version.Kudos to sony and our rom devs.:good::good:

I agree with you i hope our best dev make a stock rom for z and z1 based at android 6.0 for LB and UB
Creating Android M for LBL is not possible bcoz it'll need custom kernel. I think our devs'll give some test builds on next 1-2 weeks, AOSP code'll be published in 2-3 days

I'm not surprised. It's fantastic that we even got 5.1, the Z is so old now. All good things come to an end
But what I am wondering, if someone will port 6.0 AOSP... Not CyanogenMod or other forks, they are always unstable and breaking things. And will take a long time anyway.
Sent from Xperia Z via Tapatalk
I'm very happy with the updates we have had and hope that I get 2.5 years of updates on my Z5 most people would have upgraded by now anyway however if I didn't have a phone I would happily purchase the XZ. It's been a damm good phone even with a locked bootloader.

the bootloader is directly connected to the TA Partition and every phone has a unique one so its impossible to change from yes to no
Chasmodo has already said that he wont support marshmallow on Dirtyunicorn for Xperia Z.
If people were expecting Sony to support Xperia Z for as long as they own the device then they were dreaming.
We have a stable 5.1.1 be happy. The device is more than 2.5 years old....
