[help] Xperia T or Xperia L?

I'm buying one of these phones very soon Just want some opinions before I decide.
Did the latest FW update fix the auto focus sound when recording video in Xperia T? Which do you think takes better pictures?
Xperia L surely have better 3D performance with Adreno 305 and lower screen res. But is Xperia T lag at any game at all(Gameloft/RR3...)? I'm a gamer so this is quite important for me
How's the battery life in XT?
Also, Do you guys think Xperia T will get Android 5 if it's ever gonna be released this year (or at least CM11..)? (stupid question, I know)
Thanks in advance

Xperia T vs Xperia L is like : I buy a c63 amg or a donkey LOL
Seriously,the L have the newest adreno but the T have A S4 Krait and HD screen,no lag.
I hope i helped a little
Good luck
the T is beautiful and the L ugly.. CM sucks, I never had a bug free version on any phone.. Will KLP come to the T? who knows.. hopefully it will

xperia t is far more superior than xperia l
no lags at all and battery life is also good
latest firmware is also quite stable now and chances may be less of klp since jb 4.3 is next and xperia t is on 4.1.2 yet
so never lose hope and think positive

If you want android 5 then choose xT. flagship devices has better chance of updating.. Just an opinion.. XT is way more superior to xl..

Not sure what to do.

I'm stuck on deciding what to do next.
I'm having issues playing Injustice on my SP on the stock Rom. It randomly pauses or closes fully back to home while playing. I have 3 options I think; Do I tweak this Rom with supercharger script or something. Or do I install a custom Rom like eXistenZ and hope that performs better. Or do I just wait for official 4.3 update and then hope memory management is better?
What would you guys suggest? I'm still new to my Xperia SP.

If I were you, I would wait for the android 4.3 and If the ram management sucks too I would go for cyanogenmod.
Go to CM 11, the best choice you have!
The thing that's putting me off CM is the loss of Sony stuff like stamina mode and im guessing no walkman and gallery light effects.
I like all the little gimmicks haha

thats the only reason i got a launcher instead
I think I'm going to try a script to maybe sort out memory management, and then when 4.3 comes, I'll remove the tweaks, relock bootloader and then install the new official update. When that will come is another story
Gonna keep watching the thread in general about the update

[Q] Xperia Z1 with CM11. Possible to get stock camera app from Z1?

Hello all.
Have the Xperia Z1 with CM11. Wondering if I can get the stock camera app running, and if possible, how?
Don't like the stock camera app for CM11 since I don't think it's able to benefit the good camera of the Z1 to the full extent.

Short answer.. No
It uses Sony framework and cm does not...
I remember some cm / Sony framework roms... But that was for the arc... But in any case you should not count on it...the quality won't be better either as that is depending on the libs etc... But see if camerazoom app is better or go back to stock

Thanks for the quick reply!
Sounds good. Only installed CM11 since it fixed my constant loop of booting (after flashboot) into a firmware that was not detected by Sony software. Hopefully going back to stock will be possible for me
Anyways, thanks for the answer!

[Q] Couple Questions about therms

Good evening,
i was wondering, what stands the therms KK STOCK-CM11 XZ1C, KK STOCK-CM11 XZ1, YKG&EXR Ported V1Rs and NWZ-F886???
i know that KK stands for kitkat and CM for cyanogenmod and Z1, but the rest i dont know...
Thanks!
Have you even tried google? Results show up straight away.
Xz1c, as the name implies, Xperia z1 compact. Ykg&exr is the name of the guys that port stuff. Nwz-f886 is name of a Sony Walkman

Thoughts on a new z3 rom for the xperia sp

Hello XDA,
I guess you know me from my CM11s Port ROM and I guess you also know that the system dump of z3 was out yesterday by the community. Let's get into the point shall we? So I'm thinking of creating a z3 ROM for kitkat and I want your suggestions and thoughts on what you might want in the ROM so that maybe I and even other devs can have a resource to look to and see what the community generally wants in a z3 ROM for the xperia sp. So let the discussion begin shall we?
Regards,
Furrydaus
Base it on MrSteve555s cm11 for LBL pls,I dont want to cry that another cool ROM is only for UBL,and has an old base.
I mean,the best choice would be to base the UBL variant on the latest official cm11 nightlies,and LBL on MrSteve555s Cm11 weekly releases.
EDIT
You can use RepeXpersiS if you need some files,that ROM is an excellent "port" of the Z2 4.4 for our SP.
Yes i think that mrsteve555 cm11 would be good because its locked bootloader and easy to install and use.. Other than that in my opinion if it is possible do something in the rom so that all of sony apps work in the rom for example get a sony app from play store and simply install..

Anybody can tell me that how samsung developer has ported full s5 rom to samsung s3
And on xperia no such port is been seen even not the port of xperia z to other xperia devices really miss that on xperia....
Is the development is slow on xperia or other technical issues?
Please answer it is really annoying to see s3 running all the features of new falgship and our xperia sp even having good hardware didn't seem to get thos features from his big bros..... ??????

I think that SAMSUNG gave sources which allowed them to port the s5 4.4.
Then what is system dump, is it a different thing?

Hm.Not sure how to put this right.
If someone gives you a star shaped piece,you cant fit it in a square hole.
Without the sources available for our devices,we cant link everything to a state where the ROM is usable,or even bootable.There are guides to port manufacturer ROMs,so feel free to try it yourself.
I only miss bravia engine and the illumination LED bar on the RepeXpersiS,but when i return to eXistenZ,there is the ugly,old JB lockscreen which destroys the perfect z3 look you get on the RepeXpersiS.

I am not into developing either.I wanted to try that guide myself,but one would ahve to download over 500 mb of thrash over a 500kb/s internet,just to see if his project that already has low probabilities will work out.I wil lrather wait for the ROMs.You do have z3 apps ported.So install them.There are z3 app ports for 4.3,and everything is amazing,but my spine jumps out when i use my phone and feel like i have the z3,and then see the old lockscreen that cant be replaced.Xperia Lockscreen isnt fully compatible with 4.3 either,will try to use expanded desktop on it...

I think s3 is comparable to Z because it was flagship

But from price and specs point of view it is somewhat similar to sp and sp is better performer than s3....

I completely agree with @Marionette
I think everything on Existenz will be perfect as long as we could use new ported apps and features on it and it's not important if it's android 4.3 or 4.4
and the only big need now is a perfect systemui compatible with new z3 home and a z2 lockscreen port
So if anyone could use new sony ports on the latest xperia sp stock rom I think it would be better because that way we could also have dialer and contacts and themes and many many more that still arent ported on cm11
