[Q] No custom ROMS on ZL???? - Sony Xperia ZL

hey guys!!!
i am keen to get a ZL soon.. and hell yes i prefer the ZL over s4 or HTC One.. but i just checked out the forum & noticed that not major development has taken place yet.. be it custom ROMs or MODs.. wherein Z's forum is full of it.. that puts me one step back.. will ZL get less development than Z??? I would really want to stick with a phone which happens to be modded & developed... Its strange to know that ROMS for Z & ZL would be different as both of them are practically the same phone apart from the outer curvature & 2-3 tiny features... any takers to explain this to me??
Also battery life means a lot to me.. wanna know from the users as to how is the battery performing.. I am on HTC OneX at the moment & the only think i dont like about this phone is the battery life... need ur input guys!!! pls help!!

The ZL hasn't been made available globally as the Z did, so give it some time for it to pick up in popularity. The Z had an entire month head start on the market, and the ZL was only available two weeks ago.

Would some devs care to chip in as to whether developing for the ZL is any different than developing for the Z?

AW: [Q] No custom ROMS on ZL????
I think most dev will code for Z, because that is the advertised flagship. Nevertheless I hope that Mods and Roms can easily be ported from Z to ZL.
There is a first Cyanogen Port, although the ZL isn't released yet in many parts of the world. Samsung maybe won't get it years after release.
And you don't need 238 different ROMs, you just need one that fits!

If someone would help get me started I'd make a Rom for the ZL. I made a stripped down and buildprop changes Rom on the Samsung mesmerise which is the cdma version of the galaxy s back in early 2011. But I'm not sure where to start now :/

I'm in. The only thing that really needed on ZL is voltage control because the phone gets quite warm during prolonged operation. I don't like it. I see DooMLorD making custom kernel for the Z and I hope he will make one for ZL as well. But since he is busy with life that may take some time...

So what's wrong with sony stock? Performance? Functionality missing? Or just flash-addicted...?

There is nothing wrong with stock ROM. Only thing is we need more customisation like voltage control and such. Stock Xperia Launcher suffers from lags from time to time. I just use stock 4.2 Jelly Bean launcher and works much better than Xperia Launcher in terms of smoothness and responsiveness

Basically flash addicted
one more thing is customization like
status toggle bar options
black theme especially navigation bar
small on screen buttons which is really annoying as accual screen size is less than 4.8 or something
camera tweaks etc etc...

Why don't you give CM or AOKP a go? I know the camera is non functional as of now, but asking the dev again and again is not going to get you anything. He has his personal life to take care of too.

Yup, and more annoyingly this is the sister of the popular Xperia Z, and not even a single custom kernel is available

[HOT] Xperia T Jellybean firmware leaked by DoomLord [porting discussion thread]

Hey guys,
As the title says we have a leaked Jellybean firmware
I'm already starting to port features to our Xperia S, I'll post the things I've ported in themes section
The post is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36788563#post36788563
The leaked firmware is meant for developer devices so I cannot guarantee that I can port everything properly!!
Please post the most desired things that you want here, so the other thread can be used for problems with the ported stuff itself
Please also thank Doomlord here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36785957&postcount=1

It will be good if you keep all the applications and features, it loses interest when people remove the apps because it takes too much space or because its useless, that will make a completed rom goog!
Might be an obvious question, with an obvious answer, but will this enable devs to get the official Sony camera working on JB ROMs?

Need suggestions for a new rom

Hi everyone,
I am a ROM dev and I wish to create a new ROM for Xperia S. I have so far noticed that AOSP looks are not very popular in this forum, so I want some suggestion from the people of this forum.

I would die 4 this one
CM10 with the following mods:
Xperia NXT Lockscreen
Xperia media apps (walkman, sound enhanscements, gallery,download music info)
Xperia status bar and launcher
Xperia camera
Btw with the recovery of stock ics kernel o at least a recovery that works ok, not like the other ones that mess up everything with the partitions and cache.
And that's all i can think about right now. :good:
Ive been trying to gather those myself but its almost impossible as i always end up with a bootloop.
Uh um, I would prefer to develop on a stock base. Also, we are any way going to get official JB so no point in theming CM10 to look like stock right?
Thanks a lot anyway
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
I'm an ion user but if you're going stock based I'd just like something that's fast and smooth. My current stock ics slows down all the time. If you make a fast stock based rom that works on locked bootloader me and a bunch of people would be super happy.

How about helping rayman to develop pure cm10.1 rom ?? So the development of the rom will be faster and will be the best rom .... Pure CM is the best rom i think and many people use it to based their rom, because the development is daily and many user reporting bugs ....
And now it's only on v4 going to v5 ..... I think you will be busy to develop that rom

Well i must say i appriciate your work, nexus, for XS, cause people with locked bl are left with no choice between sony and AOSP, i think you will have a bunch of users when v.2 comes out, also when JB comes. Only thing that stoping people to decide for your rom is. FW.55 base instead 45, 50 . Cause they already rooted on those FW and it is much simple to do, cause no need to use flashtool, and not riskig warranty because then can revert on carrier braded Fw in chase of trouble,
Any way i realy hope that you wont give up nexus xperience, i have been searching for it long time
Or try porting Cm , pac,...on LBL especialy for people that cant unlock BL,like me, i would unlock it if i could, and there are many folks in same situation
Poll added
Hi guys,
Thanks for all the suggestions. I have come up with some ideas. Please participate in the newly added poll so that I will know what to build. Also, I will be able to make roms only for Xperia S/SL as I don't have any other devices. Sorry. [ Unless someone manages to port it of course ]

That would be quite difficult and apart from being difficult, apktool has a problem with our phone's framework-res.apk and hence whatever you do, after modifying framework-res.apk, the phone bootloops. There is a work around for that using a binary diff program but it would be extremely difficult and time consuming.
Hy i have been thinking for a while and wanted to suggest you to take look in xperia neo development section, for rom called jjdoctors hybrid i used that rom when i had Neo, and its awsome,support both BL statuses, i think you would have a great response, and many users in XS section
What do you say?

And bootloader is not a problem at all. Actually speaking, all custom roms based on stock ics **should** work on both bootloaders.

New Xperia S update coming in the form of 6.2.B.1.XX

Good news
Back in June, we reported of a new Sony Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update that was rumoured to arrive in early July. Well obviously that did not come to pass, but apparently a new update is still on the agenda for Xperia S/SL owners. Sony pretty much confirmed as much on the official support forums, saying that it will have build version number 6.2.B.1.XX. There’s no ETA for the update, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

And yes, this is keeping me away from flashing PROPER Custom ROMs, which means that some people (incl. me) will have to stick to 4.1.2 forever...
Envoyé depuis mon ONDA MID en utilisant Tapatalk 4 Beta
I actually prefer 4.1 ROMs on xs coz they're much more stable compared to 4.2. I have had battery issues with 4.2 ROMs on xs. Hope Sony release a faster, more stable and more efficient 4.1 rather than 4.2. Lets not forget xs runs on over 2 year old cpu.
[OT]My Wildfire S runs with CM10.1 nearly better than with Stock 2.3.5. But let's not forget it has a CPU that was already 2-3 years old when it was released (ARMv6 generation). [/OT]

But bro, if they give an update to 4.2.2, custom roms will obviously come good.. Atleast if they release sources, that would help devs to build a stable one soon.. But they don't.. And obviously i would choose custom rom over stock anytime.. And what XSP ROM(ported HTC) are u talkin bout bro??

It contains unique features like ultraboot RFMM
Main features:
UltraBoot
Drops boot time from 2 seconds to less than 0.5 (on xperia s)(boot records :0.1 seconds , on xperia s)
RFMM (ram file merge mount)
Allows you to expand your ram through mountable files on your storage (upto 128gb)
Krynik Home environment
A home environment that includes a phone,phablet,tablet and desktop mode, default to phone in xperia s but you can use desktop mode
Krynik engine
In phone(phablet and tablet mode too) mode desktop only programs can run in phone mode the engine makes programms act like Sony small apps a little bit
Envi-OS isnt public but in a few weeks ill put the website up and release an alpha build
The plan for the os is to unify or make your devices more useful or easy to use
Ill screenshot My OS if i remember to

Wow.. Just amazing! I'll be waiting anxiously for both (yours and tornado007) releases!! I was thinking of buying the Z2 but I will wait a little longer to see If I can stick with my XS longer! :fingers-crossed:

heh i wouldent wait on envi-os , it is in pre-alpha.
4.4 port is what we are throing a lot into so it should be done in a while (like said before preconfigured roms are anoying)
that shouldent take too long
also ill be buying a XZ2 so Envi-OS is coming to that and maybe a comunity Stock plus project
tornado007 has a XZ So maybe envi-os will come to that (ill ask if he can port XZ2 camera too)

4.4 port is tough.. We need to build display drivers from scratch which is a huge burden.. I am although trying to contact pro devs and get help.. I am not a genius who can write 10000 lines of code without help.. Although willing to give it a try.. Don't get any hopes up just yet.. Its still unsure that such a kernel can be built to make the official 4.4 from XZ1c to work on our device.. I may need a dev like niaboc or bilchen to make such kernel.. If i were u, i would not get my hopes up..

I figured it was going to be difficult... I wish I could help but I still have zero knowledge of programming languages. I Wonder if it is really possible to create such kernel even with help from pro devs like DooMLord.. I still have hopes but at the end of the year I'll be retiring this Xperia S, so anything until there is welcome!
