CM 13 alternative - Xperia Z2 - Xperia Z2 General

So i've been wanting cm 13 for xperia z2 ever since they released the stock marhsmallow update for xperia z2
To be honest im not happy with the stock MM rom. It's not as smooth as AOSP rom, but its actually like downgrading when you're moving from CM12.1 to stock marshmallow
So this is what i did. I realized there was an AOSP MM rom for xperia z2 and it's pretty stable now.
I installed it, but it was equal to a stock rom. No root and no features of cyanogenmod.
So i searched for a way to root the rom. You can find the file to root it in the links below. and then i installed xposed framework so get cyanogenmod features to the AOSP rom. and in the end i had a rom that works just like CM13 for xperia z2
Installation Method:
1. Follow the instructions to install AOSP MM for xperia z2. Link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/aosp-6-0-marshmallow-sony-xperia-z2-t3235951
2. The rom has a twrp recovery so you can flash the rooting zip file from this link ---> https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
3. Install xposed framework - follow the instructions on this thread. Link ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
4. Install gravity box module to get latest features of cyanogenmod on your AOSP rom
Thats it guys. Now you have a rooted AOSP MM rom on your xperia z2 with cyanogenmod features.
If anyone needs step by step installation procedure please comment below and i will put it up.
You're welcome guys

Sorry I'm just a junior member so yea. I don't know what RIL means. But yea camera works fine. It's just that a bit too slow on taking pics.
But the AOSP team said they'll be fixing it soon on the days to come.

Ril means radio interface layer, it's basically for calling and stuff.
The Android Open Source Project provides a Radio Interface Layer (RIL) between Android telephony services (android.telephony) and the radio hardware. It consists of a stack of two components: a RIL Daemon and a Vendor RIL.

Oh yes. The telephony thing was recently updated. It works well. There's no problem in calling. The only problems that I noticed was NFC and the camera lags a bit. But everything else works fine
Sent from my Xperia Z2 (AOSP) using XDA-Developers mobile app

Camera and nfc is still unstable/broken in MM-based ROMs afaik. I've read that the "dark pictures" issue on the camera has been solved, but I've heard nothing about the other camera problems on MM: overheating, extreme lag, thermal throttling and heavy battery drain while camera is active.
And nothing new about the non-working NFC.

CyanogenMod theme engine available?

Good work. One question about terminology. Doesn't AOSP basically mean it's google's official version so how can Marsh Mallow stock not be AOSP?

Snap Camera from CM13 Nightly

I don't know how many of you guys would like to have it but i'm uploading it here. It is extracted from the latest cm13 nightly and works only on CM based ROMS and not on stock ones. I tried it with the latest Omni Rom nightly build and it worked fine.
Installation instructions -
1] Download the apk
2] Put it on the SD card
3] Install it as a normal apk
4] Profit!!
Credits to CyanogenMod team for making such a great camera app. I'm just sharing their work so that you guys can use it on other ROMs also.
On aosp rom don't work...only cm rom.

I tried on Omni. Is it CM based? I always thought of it to be AOSP base.
@Akoolive Do you mean the messenger? Yeah. All apps are available and I use some of them in my ROM too. If you want I can PM you a link for them.

I would say that only works on cm for the framework as it always was with the camera of cyanogen.
I have been searching for this camera all around XDA. I have a Moto G 2014 (Marshmallow stock), and dammint, it doesn't work!
Thanks!

[Q] COS12.1 vs. CM13

Hello everybody,
I'm new to Zuk Z1 and I'm pretty happy with my latest Cyanogen OS 12.1 official build, waiting for Cyanogen OS 13 release, sooner or later.
I love modding too, and I'd like to try Mr.Coldbird CM13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/orig-development/unofficial-cm13-t3277885), because it looks better than official CM13 builds and also a lot more customizable than COS.
If anyone have tried them both, can you please post your impressions and also the main differences between the two firmwares?
Thanks in advice!
Both cm 13 rom 's look the same and look even the same than COS 12.1. cm13 is still beta and it is impossible to switch a single sim card off for the moment. You can do that in COS 12.1. As for the customization the roms are the same too. Only the rom 's built by @OrdenKrieger like temasek or RessurectionRom are more customized. If you really can't wait for the official launch you should try the official cm13 first as it does update your phone to be able to run other cm13 rom "s too without the need to flash a unknown custom made blobs zip.
Enjoy your Zuk Z1 with working Fingerprint on Cyanogen Software.

Thanks for your answer!
I mentioned Mr.Coldbird's CM13 because I read that it has working fingerprint and usb-otg, while official CM13 has not.
I'll take a look at the other ones you mentioned.
What I'd like for my Zuk is:
- Working fingerprint and unlock with soft touch (not press).
- Ambient Display (I came from a 2013 Moto X :sigh.
- "Ok Google" with screen off (see above :sigh.
- Something to ease one-hand usage (got very small hands).
- Better camera app than COS one.
- Better fingerprint integration (can only use it for phone unlock).

My Windows machine wich I haven't used for two months wouldn't let my ADB work correctly.
My main PC is a Chromebox now .
still setting my phone up and I'll let you know my results tomorrow.
Thanks.

cm12.1 stable will be here as soon as i test gaming and see if it usable but so far it running better than miui7 stable but i also fix miui7 stable bugs but for now i will give you the cm12.1 so the camera bug will be gone and able to use fully .and better performance but sadly there is not custom kernal so the freedom is still not here yet miui 7 and cm12 is the only 64bit stable rom available now but maybe more is i get a mashmellow update or the source code.
th e stable version will be here as soon as i buy or get a 64bit pc

Hi, I only found one bug so far.....when listening to Google play music using Bluetooth headset the music is playing a little faster than it should it with a slightly higher pitch......love this ROM a lot.......
Hi, as a work around for music playing at higher speed thru bluetooth you can setup and use a app from the google play store called btmono premium, it works.....use widget.....

Z1c Nougat Roms

1. AOSP, by @freexperia -
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=17562
Tested 2/27 AOSP build. Seems smooth and stable overall. Only browser is some kind of experimental one that doesn't work too well, or at least you need to spend more time getting used to it than I was willing to. Camera works, but is as good as any other N camera at this point, (bad).
2. AOSP and Lineage, (CM), 14, micro-g patched, by @MSe1969 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=155737 - haven't tried yet. I mistakenly linked it to fxp until I just now noticed it. Will try soon...
3. AICP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...lopment/rom-aicp-11-0-mm-6-0-1-amami-t3428288
Excellent rom, regular updates, and lots of customization. Some people have posted about dropped calls in recent builds, but haven't heard of other issues. Magisk integrated. If someone can figure out how to get a good camera, you could hardly ask for more.
4. AOSP by @CLINTZ9 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/aosp-t3317511
I haven't been able to get it to boot, (error in twrp). OP says to ignore error and flash, but it won't flash anything for me. I think others have, though, so maybe just something I'm missing. Let me know.
5. LOS by micha-btz - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=153937
Just stumbled across it, and my BL is currently re-locked, so plan on trying soon...
Update - tried today and works well, everything seemed to function. Bad camera as usual, and I couldn't get back into recovery for some reason. I had to flash a different kernel first...
6. CM14/LOS builds by @derf elot https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41716
7. AOSP builds by SonyAOSP team, (@davidteri91) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=187966
8. LOS 14 by @Hazou - https://forum.xda-developers.com/so...opment/rom-unofficial-lineageos-14-1-t3636822
Haven't tried yet. Let us know...
9. LOS 14 by munjeni - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-t3657384 Probably the best yet. Excellent camera. Some have had random reboots on latest build, but maybe fixed with this - http://munjeni.myiphost.com/system.rar
10. Sudamod by @maz-1 - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/rom-sudamod-3-1-t3666092
Testing now, LOS-based with some custom tweaks. Fast and smooth, fully working. Op says camera is good, even though 3.1 kernel, pictures look OK so far, going to test more in the light. Very nice ROM.
11. M-ROM port by @dmgZero - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/m-rom-v2-4-0-t3711381
Stock Nougat style and apps on custom (Carbon) rom. Very nice. Original dev seems to have abandoned xda, but rom has been popular on several devices up to v2.3.1 (I use it on Z3c [https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/rom-los-xperia-ui-z3c-t3654894]). 2.4 was never posted on xda, AFAIK, but posted on a Chinese site called 0z4l, or something, but not possible to download without registration, and I couldn't get successful registration. dmgZero has modded it, apparently. I haven't tried it, since I'm using Z3c at the moment...
BTW - seems to be some degree of controversy around the security of latest version. Check device threads and judge for yourself.
12. Flyme OS by @dmgZero - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/development/m-rom-z1cflyme6-8-1-22r-t3742581 I'm mainly on Xc now, so check thread for reports...

hi good day. I'm pretty new to flashing
I managed to install some custom rom and gapps with TWRP.
so I'm now a bit more confident in installing new roms
there's so many custom roms, I don't know which to choose. I need something not bloated, fast, and fully working camera. any help is greatly appreciated.
(or maybe I just should root the stock rom and uninstall bloated apps ?)

For the short answer, he's probably right - Jaguar Is excellent. However, there are now very good roms for this phone in kk, lp, mm, and now n, so there's lots to try. If stability and camera are your main priorities, go with stock-based, or Jaguar. Personally, I don't feel debloating is necessary, if you use an app-management app, like AFwall, or 3C toolbox.
thanks guys !! i shall try jaguar !

Jaguar has all the security updates included which even some Nougat Roms does not have.
Hi there,
I made a CM14.1 build for amami for you to try, based on the sources of sonyxperiadev, SonyCM and SonyAosp. So a big thank you is in order to everyone involved in these projects. I only modified the sonyxperiadev amami sources to work with this build, set SELinux to enforced and removed the Gello browser from the build (there are more updated derivatives on the Play Store anyway).
I have run it for a little bit, and noticed the following bugs so far:
- deepsleep not working when wifi is on (I think)
- camera sometimes force closes, sometimes works (known memory leak bug I think, cam is work in progress)
- lots of CM stuff is not there yet, including themes (remember, CM14.1 is a work in progress)
- ?
To install it, you most likely need real recovery with TWRP3. It includes the new Sony init, so reboot to recovery from ROM works. I'm currently using it with latest OpenGapps and SuperSU, which both seem to work fine as well.
The Z1C is currently my secondary phone, but once it becomes more stable and feature-rich and once Xposed is available for 7.1 (fingers crossed), I will probably also build for the Z3C. Unless we get to see some official CM love again of course.

Unofficial Xposed on Stock Rom 7.1.1

Just to inform all that I have tried unofficial Xposed on Stock 7.1.1 and Lineage 14.1 and found working fine on our devices.
Just download and flash the unofficial Xposed from link http://main.purifyos.it/xposed/classic/SDK25/
and install the apk in attachment.
Try it at your own risk. Back up your data first.
Link to official thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-nougat-sdk-25-arm64-t3639221
Credits:
-Rovo89, for making Xposed
-Abforce, for update Xposed ti Nougat
-PurifyOS Team, for make possible the build zip with source by abforce
Any stability issues ? Do you think there will be battery drain ?
Thanks
Very stable, no reboots etc. Some modules have compatability issues but they simply don't work and doesn't cause any other problem.
Not sure about battery yet. It's too soon to comment.
Please be aware the Nougut port is very WIP. Some modules will not work, some will cause problem and this is due to WIP - so it have to be fixed on xposed side, not on modules side. List of working/not working modules here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-list-modules-nougat-xposed-t3639615
And stock?
Tested on stock FR Android 7.1.1 with stock kernel + TWRP 3.00 + Root
All looks great
I didn't need to set linux permissive...
can i have your list of modules
Official xposed is available now. Don't install unofficial one.
Does it work in fw 32.4.A.154, Pro??
Sent from my E6553 using Tapatalk
