[Q]Support for Xperia SP [HUASHAN]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Inviato da Tablet z2

Excuse my ignorance,
Does this mean we can load a custom ROM without loosing the additional features that come with the Z2?
It would be nice to be able to use my SD card...

Would love to see a wifi only version too! I will just about cream my pants if I can run CM on this thing. It kicks ass as is, but CM would take it over the edge. So glad I sold my Note 2014 edition for this tablet!

What would be better with CM? I don't see how it could top the stock ROM.

Just my preference. Nothing wrong with stock as I said, it will push it over the edge

Which feaures of CM are causing you to personally prefer it over stock?

Great news! Will play with this, this evening. Some bugs does mean that some things like sound/lte does not work?! Or that only some apps can crash?
Edit: Installed it now on my tablet. For just a preview this is really a great ROM. Had a small bugs on the keyboard for SIM pin but the ROM works fine.

For me the stock rom is quite laggy, it's not a bad ROM by any stretch but certainly not how I like my devices to be setup function

I tried extracting the boot.img from the FXP327 castor_windy zip and it will not
boot to the shared CWM recovery to install the ROM zip.
The filesize for castor_windy is also only 144MB while the rest of the ROMS
for other devices are in the 244MB range.
Has anyone got this to work on the Z2 tablet wifi only?

[Discussion] Porting Lollipop form Xperia Z3 update

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
a.hamameh

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

Bad news for us....but it waz expected.
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.

most likely we will get the launcher and some other system apps updates. BTW Dirty Unicorns will propably be the first to release 6.0 and i am sure it will be stable

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....

Thank you for this awesome ROM, very original and unique, and most importantly, it's CM12.1 based Woow
I have a question though, does the lightbar work? does it interact with the system like in stock ROM, for instance, does it change colors and beat along with Music app AKA Walkman? Thank you very much and looking forward to future updates.

You, Mr.The Developer... you sir will make a huge achievement for the locked bootloader owners if you successfully complete this rom. :thumbsup:

lightbar works with notifications...but light nt beat with music app... if you want this feature try discolight apk...
