Please Answer !
I wanna know if users are interested by a light weight rom, based on stock 157 but with many unusual apps removed or optionnal install ?
Do you use stock launcher or 3rd party ? Like Apex or Nova ?
Do you use Sony apps ?
Do you use Gapps ?
What could be improved ?
Please answer this will help developpers in sony Z1C world
remove everything that is not necessary. Everything else can be installed from Google play
For example I don't use Facebook or Twitter or anything else except tapatalk so for me all Xperia add-ons social could be removed I don't use mirror link so it could be too removed

remove bloatware
I use stock launcher. removing all uninstallable apps would make it excellent...
Debloating sounds like a must lately ,that would be nice nonetheless.
Is there anything like notification light settings ,to customize colors,intervals ,etc. that could be somehow integrated in system settings? That would be really useful too.
Also mods like translucent notification drawer ,dark apps and ui,sound equalizers could be installed upon choosing them via aroma installer.
Tweaks like long press media buttons to skip songs,removing camera launching sound ,if integrated in stock settings menu would really be better than installing them with xposed.
Hi! I'd like to be able to activate autosync for designated apps. Especially Google account (syncs Chrome, contacts, bookmarks and all) without having to activate autosync for the whole list.
Also, floating notifications and lockscreen notifications (see Xperia style cover window on playstore! I don't know why nobody has tried providing this).
I like Dstriker rom very much because it's light and because DRM function restoration is included, but there are still Sony apps I deleted: Sony select, all social network stuff, What's new..
Thx!
D5503 UB KK.157 DstrikerZ1
Thanks for starting this thread. What I'd like in a lightweight ROM for z1c:
- No bloatware (except DRM apps or apps with hardware-specific optimization, like movies, album, camera)
- Dark theme for System UI, Settings, and all Sony Apps (no purplish skin everywhere), Google Apps
- Quick settings in the same tab as notifications (no separate quick settings tab). More variety in quick setting options (e.g. mobile data 2G/3G/LTE)
I want LewaOS 6 port ?

A fine tuner for adjusting the sound volume would be great.

- No, if light then AOSP from source and full compatible to "GravityBox" with a kernel there support all features in FauxControl/FauxSound.
Do you use stock launcher or 3rd party ? Like Apex or Nova ?
- I use Apex.
Do you use Sony apps ?
- Yes, Z3 Kalender Widget.
Do you use Gapps ?
- Yes, but installed as UserApps.
What could be improved ?
- Energiemanagement without Stamina. AppOps with a Firewall for Lan/Wifi/3G
So Lollipop should be out this week and everyone is going mad but is there any expectations ? good and bad. For starters i expect a better camera quality since it has so much potential and i would like couple things from Z2 and up like timeshift video and gestures what has been proven to work with Z1 already. then again there is some problems with Lollipop on Z2 and they will fix it but what about Z1 ? are they just gonna dump it to us and stop updating it since its the last android version coming to it... i was just getting settled for this bug free Kitkat !
This topic has been spoken a lot so i decided to go ahead an make its own thread. Same as when Kitkat was being relased !
... Knowing Sony we'd just have Lollipop, I doubt they'd put as much effort as they would in the Z3.
They wont port features from z3/z2 . We will get only what is new on lollipop art material etc . If sony doesn't port those apps from z2 to z1 then the xda member will port them for sure so no stress
What I want is new audio stuff.....
Though $ony will most probably drop them from us
Will wait for our legendary jimrnor lol

I'm a Z2 user and if the apps uses the proper lollipop APIs (not Jelly Bean or older) it's able to write to SD card.
And please, stop expecting Z2/Z3 features, you guys qre never getting it from Sony. It's a standard marketing protocol by manufacturers, including Samsung, not to include new features. Too bad you guys can't say "I'm going to change to a Galaxy" lolol

Hi there with the Legacy Xperia LineageOS Testing build i got wonderfully Netflix working
on the Xperia Play
see in this Video(Changed Sound in Youtube because my Audio Recording was horrible)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFKfy28bDVM
You can download the Image from this Post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78102650&postcount=2589
Many Thanks to the Legacy Xperia Team for this wonderfully LineageOS for this Phone.
All work exept Bluetooth
wow what version of lineage is it? hows gaming performance? i gave away my last xperia play( i had 4 at a point) one month ago cause i got a moto z2 with the game pad...but i still love the xplay!
Hi sorry for my Delay with the Answer.
It is Lineage 14.1 Nougat.
The E-Psxe Performance is better than in the Legacy Xperia 4.44 Images.
Telegram,Whatsapp,YalpStore(slim Playstore Alternative),
Netflix,GLTools(Chainfire3D Alternative for newerOS) and others work fine.
I will test it with PPSSPP and StarTrekTimelines next Time.
It was difficult to install because my Windows10 have many Driver Problems with the Fastboot Drivers.
And you should use a A1 Micro SD Card...
...because the OS is on this SD Card.
It work all exept Bluetooth and the AnalogNubs.
For my playing Psx Rpgs are the Analog Nubs not that important.
greetings from Germany.
Glad people are still using this device. Is this device still usable for basic taskts in 2019?
Which custom ROM do you recommend? I am looking for one which is the lightest, fastest and uses least system resources and RAM.
Mostly the Rom is not the real Problem.
This Phone is definly to slow for GoogleServices like:
-the big Playstore
-Google Play Services
-and other Google Things.
I simple recommend to:
-root the Device
-deinstall all Things what you personaly not need:
For me Things like:
Calculator,Calendar,SpeechRecorder,Google Things,Themes,PicoTTS and big Memoryhungry Launchers
After this i installed my important Things:
-Yalp Store(Small Apk for Download Apks directly from Google)
With Yalp Store you can make easily Updates when you want.
-Telegram Messenger
-Whatsapp Messenger,
-EsTaskManager(look on an older Version withoud Ads)
-Vlc Player
-Sms/mms and Phone Apps
-Epsxe (work wonderfully exept Nubs..played Grandia on it)
-GLTools(its like Chainfire3D but for newer OS)
I am with Messengers UptoDate
So i can:
Phone,writeSMS,Telegram&Whatsapp Messaging with working Camera for Photos...
...and the Importantest Thing ...Gaming PSX Rpgs.
I stillt search for an good Snes and GBA Emulator.
Maybe PPSSPP will work with Mana Khemia
...o i have Drastic paid..maybe it work fine too for Dreamcast.
LineageOS Install was bit difficult but it work realy fine on an A1 SD Card and i can use normal Headphones because Bluetooth is not working with this Image.
Edit:
I do use a very small Launcher named Zeam Launcher.
Edit Edit:
Oops Drastic is for Nds
Is anyone aware of where the sources can be gotten from I’ve only found up to 13 on their GitHub

Just to help out a bit, if possible:
Camera seems to be fine on my P2XL - though I have not enabled any HDR+ or raw settings.
Now Playing is working for me, grabbed the theme song off the show I was watching last night.
Markup "edit" button can be fixed. Clear data in markup, open photos and use markup from within that; you should get a permission request. (simply going into permissions on the markup app and enabling any/all may work as well, but is untested)
In dialer/recents, tap the number, and choose block from the drop down menu. I am in the beta for the Google phone app - so that may be part of it. Dirty flash may also affect this.
Clarification only: Photos is broken in dark-mode, but only in that all options dialogs/drop-downs are white text on white background. Other than that, you can still browse photos/albums, etc.
For clarity: My device is the Pixel 2 XL and Q was installed via factory image with full wipe (no dirty flash), and I did not restore from any backups.
Camera is fine for me on 2xl. Nothing different. HDR+ works as normal so does raw DNG.

Now playing is working for me - just not displaying on the lock screen. I just got home form a birthday party, and every song the DJ played is in my NP history;
In addition to the charging time estimate, the estimate in the pull down notification area is completely off base compared to the estimated time left in Settings --> Battery;
My built in screen recording works for me, and has worked since I enabled it from the Features flags in Developer Options;
No issues with Google Photos with dark Mode. Caveat: I had dark mode enabled in Pie, and took the Q DP1 OTA over that Pie install;
I found that there is a microphone icon at the top left when selecting Panorama photo mode that I never saw before (was that introduced with Q DP1, or just a very recent Google Camera update?)
I've not noticed a discernible slowdown in the Camera app (and I always use HDR+ / Night sight for my photos), but I have noticed that when I try to view a picture / video, particularly like an MMS in Messages / Google Voice, the phone is extremely slow and laggy.
@eBENdre just got xl 2 ,prerooted,one question,if i install Q 1 will it owerwrite twrp magisk also,will there be problems maybe? Thanks
For years used htc,this is new for me.

Yes, it will overwrite twrp and magisk.
There are always potential problems with any update to beta builds, however, many are running Q without issues. Best advice I can give is to familiarize yourself with fastboot commands, since you'll need to install twrp again, and read, read, and read again all of the information in the Q threads so you know what to do and expect :good:

Huge thanks mate,and there is problem for me,as keybord not working on laptop...
You'll probably need access to a different computer - or else need to buy a cheap USB KB to use, because use of a separate computer / laptop is pretty much essential to get this working (root + Q, not to mention installing TWRP by using fastboot boot to boot TWRP, then installing TWRP from inside the booted TWRP).

You should get the next update fine, provided your on stock recovery without root. I don't run betas personally, but my info comes from reading about others that do. As with anything android...YMMV :good::laugh:
Android Q Beta Experience
I've been on Android Q beta for almost 3 weeks now. It is used as a daily driver since I have only the one Pixel 2. I flashed the new image myself using TWRP rather than opt into the beta with Google. Other than a problem with now playing not always showing up on the screen and a slight delay when I go to the Favorites page in Phone app everything seems to work alright. I am getting roughly the same battery life as with Android Pie. Oh, and my banking app (ICICI Bank, India) is not working. It doesn't send an SMS to activate the app. I thought this might be as the phone number is shown as unknown. I understand that Vodafone in India does not show the phone number in the SIM information in Settings. I have activated dark mode and even photos and camera app work without a hitch. I have rooted with Magisk (Canary channel) and that is working without any problem.
OTOH, I've also been on Q since the day it came out (my birthday, coincidentally - love being an Ides of March baby lol).
I've had some issues crop up here and there, but nothing really serious. I was on Pie, rooted, and used the uninstall routine inside of Magisk to de-root my Taimen before taking Q, and then rooted it again with the (then latest) canary build.
What I'm hoping is that the Magisk procedure to de-root the device, take the OTA, and then before rebooting, applying the patched boot.img to the new partition will work, the same as if you're rooted on Pie and get an OTA.
Time will tell.
My notifications is coming like this only.. is this a bug?
or the clock is missing?
My device is not rooted. I'm not using any module or theme.
Clock missing - have you rebooted?

Yes I have. Atleast 2-3 times.
Wonder if it is System UI Tuner related?
You could give this a shot and see if the System UI is set to hide the clock, though the last time I actually tried to hide the clock, it didn't leave that space there....
