Porting Roms - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

it has been a very long time since I played with roms, just wondering if there's anyway to get stock sony kernel to work with Cm, aosp or aokp 4.4.x instead of just 4.3
cheers

hmm, not that i know of
there is a method of making a special kernel to run in the system partition with a custom rom
but this is hard to do because of how much coding is needed for the special kernel
in simple. no, you need a aosp kernel for aosp rom

[Q] ROM help please!

So I've tried all of the cyanogenmod 11 ROM files I could find and all of them have led to a bootloop. Maybe someone could come up with a reason as to why this keeps happening.
Maybe I should give up on cyanogenmod and find a different ROM to try. I am pretty confident that I did everything correctly but it never works.
BTW I am new to rooting and flashing ROMs and all of that stuff.
If you're trying the official CM nightlies or M builds, you need to be on the JB baseband. They haven't updated to true KK source yet so if you're running a KK baseband, they won't boot. The only other ROM that's still using JB stuff is Dirty Unicorns. So you could try literally any other ROM and it would work fine. There's an unofficial CM11 build based on KK source in the VZW android dev section. That one should boot for you. But official CM will not unless you flash a JB baseband, which isn't worth it.

Stock based custom rom

AOSP based and cm based ROMs haven't been stable as of now,it doesn't mean it lessens affort of developers like akhil or varun but we need stock based ROMs in the meantime if you see nexus 5 forum there you have "catacalysm"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/orig-development/rom-cataclysm-nexus-5-t2518660)which is most appropriated rom over there. It is essentially a stock rom modified with some gravitybox like features .It even supports RRO layERS. I am not a dev by any mean don't have computer to try out these things but we have well more than capable developers who could develop such ROMs quite easily.What do you think is it worth it?

Can any dev biuld AOSP 7.0 Rom?

Hi,
I know there are 7.0 or even 7.1 Roms for Thea but I'm looking for the simplest one without any super features cuz i don't need them. For Titan ther is these Rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo.../rom-aosp-oms-substratum-moto-g-2014-t3470909 simple and stable. There are even sources and the dev will help to build it for sure - he don't want to build it because he has no testing device. So here is my question:
Is there some dev willing to build the simples and standard Rom for Thea? I thought every Android development should start and be based on AOSP rom...

Custom roms

Is the kernel source the only missing thing to make some custom roms kernels?
Pretty much, yes.
and now that they have been released, development can begin
It will take some time because I am building the device-tree as well.

Question Stock kernel for custom rom?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have the same touch.
FWIW, people on Telegram channels advised me to do precisely that: install a custom ROM then replace the kernel with the stock one (boot+dtbo)... but I never tried it for lack of time.
