I have heard Xperia is getting lollipop updates it possible to make a rom for our phone with that.. Development in our device is promising.. I'm not a developer though. . Its just a .request. .
Xperia z3
Do you mean a Xperia-themed rom? Because there's one right now in the Android Development of this forum.
What? Xperia Lollipop ROMs are just for Xperia devices, as far as i know, Sony is not going to make Xperia Lollipop a open source thing, if Xperia M2 receive an official Lollipop update, we can try to port it, as its the same hardware. we can surely have an Xperia Themed ROM, but i don't know why would someone do that, Xperia Lollipop is ugly as hell (in my opinion)

As I said, we already have a Xperia-themed rom, based in the latest stock. I don't like it but different strokes for different folks, I guess.
Lexodus ROM is the one with Xperia themes.. But it still isn't quite that much Xperia..
Its ok just felt like asking so did cause I'm bored of the stock lollipop

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.

This is great news! Cant wait for their 1st native x8 release

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

[Discussion][Poll] Anyone that is still using a "legacy" Xperia 2011 Device?
As the title states..
Anyone that is still using anyone of the legacy and lovely Xperia 2011 (Sony Ericsson Holy grail and Grand Finalé devices) around here?
What ROM?
What kernel?
Etc?
Regards

@all
BUMP!
Share your nowaday experience of those holy grails, and discuss both bad and good memories those have given you. Don't be so strict with thinking on how you writes stuff in here, just stay on topic and discuss everything that the "legacy" Xperia 2011 devices has given you and various memories / user experiences thru your usage of those devices, and all is fine.
@all
Actually I'm using it as backup, unrooted, with last OS update.

Have you tried any of the LegacyCM 4.4.4 builds?
My girlfriend is enjoying my old Xperia Neo (hallon) with CarbonRom 4.4.4 and a friend gave me an Arc S that i've updated to 4.4.4 also. Both run amazingly well with kitkat considering their old hardware. Can't wait for some Lollipop rom to test it in both phones.

When I had my Arc S unlocked from O2, the bootloader unlock allowed changed from No to Yes.
So unlocked BL and running CM11.
Running nice and fast too.
I use an arc s as a secondary device.
Stock ICS rom rooted.
Very nice phone
CM-11-20141224-UNOFFICIAL-LegacyXperia-anzu
Android 4.4.4 on custom kernel.
Running LegacyXperia CM13 on my Xperia Arc. Got this phone as a hand-me-down as a replacement for a Samsung Galaxy Trend with a failing battery. I have to say I'm so pleased to be back with a Sony Ericsson device, I had an X8 (GingerDX) before the Samsung. These things are so easy to root, install custom roms and I love physical buttons. Marshmallow runs well enough for daily usage with 16GB Samsung EVO SD card. Much snappier than the Samsung with stock rom.
Edit: sorry for bringing back an old thread, heh
i still use it, official stock rom 4.0.4 ICS, love it... not going to change this phone ever.... maybe i will add xperia m4 aqua and use them both... but Arc s will be primary... also i'm hw buttons fanboy ! :laugh::laugh:
still using the arc with CM 10.1
I tried legacy xperia lolipop version and I couldn't handle all the lag so I went back to cm 10.1
I'm thinking I might just try the marshmallow one
Hi guys,
I tried yesterday to install the Lollipop Xperia Z3 update on my Z2.
It booted and everything looked OK but the touch screen wasn't working.
I created it using PRFCreator and flash it using dual recovery.
If someone have any ideas to make it work please share it.
With my best regards

why do we need to port it when Z2 is in the rolling update list?

yes but my point being thay Z2 should have Lollipop fairly soon, there is absolutly no point to porting lollipop to a device thats soon to recieve it.
and porting a firmware premade for one device to another isnt easy at all
that 77 rom doesnt seem to have a Z3 base.
Agreed.
Will you be making a lollipop version of your amazing ROM when the stock update is available?

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....
