[Q] Sony Apps on CyanogenMod?

Hi,
Sorry novice question but, is it possible to install some of the stock Sony Apps onto a custom ROM such as CyanogenMod? I am running CyanogenMod at the moment and I love it, fast, stable, and without much battery drain. I would love to be able to use the Sony stock camera though.
Is it possible, like installing Gapps, but Sapps?
Thanks

Hi,
apps from Sony "usually" need SONY's own framework. Sadly, the framework itself is not opensourced and cannot be used on other roms.
This is the reply you would usually get when asking other rom developers. Sadly, its true tho.

THere are mods , as far as I know I have cynogen mod on my Galaxy note 2 , and I installed Album , Movies and Walkman and runs perfectly , inicuding the launcher so , any other apps u are expecting..

theirs even small apps mod to make that working , only major thing which isn't ported yet is the stock camera and proper bravia engine etc

those apps need sony framework which isn't included in cm rom

Thanks for skinned roms
Hi..Thanks for preparing this skined rom. Saw you on cm11 touchwiz rom but cant help as all I can do is compile things on cm11 like you have done. Sawing your interest to build on cm11, you can make xperia z2 rom fully on cm11. I made it but didnt post it as somebody has already posted it build on old cm11. In case you need the links to build z2 rom just tell me. Regarding this rom developer wulsic is already working on stock lg kitkat rom. Maybe he can help you. Check his thread in general section

And what do u mean by themed ? I no where find theming in your miui ROM ..
Edit : sorry .. so called miui ROM

Yes, this is misleading!!! Please change the title.

Well, he's just changed build.prop and added mi apps and told it's a miui rom.

Custom rom is a much harder work frnd. Not discouraging you but learn first n den implement. Theming is a core part of custom rom which is missing from ur roms. Take it positively and come up with something better next time.:good:

Will someone port official sony marshmallow ROM to Xperia SP?

As marshmallow has been officially launched on certain xperias, is someone working on it to port it to SP?
It will be awesome.

It really is could be a great thing. However, fundamentally and technically, this is impossible....

I will need to write a book if i need to explain to you.
But i simple words, "looks" aren't ported. They are just remade to mockup the same experience. Apps can be ported thanks to a general Sony framework
But the whole ROM of Marshmallow? Then impossible. Because there is no public source of the sony android. Therefore no one can port anything.
If you want your phone to look like an Xperia and also want to use the Xperia apps, I will guide you to a simple flashable zip that will allow you to install Sony apps from play store. Then if you use CM, you can install an Xperia theme. So far Marshmallow theme hasn't yet surfaced, but a Lollipop one can be find a lot on the Internet, and a lot of them are supported on CM13's theme engine

Thank you for your kind reply and am sorry for asking such dumb question. Actually am new to custom rom world and xda so I thought one thing from mobile can be another mobile... LOL :silly:
Anyway, I once installed CM 12.1 from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan but it lacks sony apps (walkman and album is all I need). By flashable zips, you mean to say that I can install on CM 12.1 and those apps will get updates if any come in the future?
Also, what is the difference between CM11, 12.1 and 13?
Waiting for your reply.

It's okay, there are plenty to learn
Of course it will lack SONY apps, because the ROM is a custom ROM. Custom ROM is very different in nature from stock ROM. And yes, by flashable zip, you can install any of SONY apps and gets update from the Play Store However, keep in mind, some DRM-sensitive features like the Sony Music (used to be walkman) Songs Information downloader will no longer exist, since, well, you already wiped your DRM keys from your TA Partition during bootloader unlock..
Here is the link to the Sony framework zip on Mega: https://mega.nz/#!wwURzAyI!lMNndMjEvZoKCYHo_oJ-SXq1oM9jQLvlcnCRIa2Vdzs
The difference between the cm11, cm12.1 and cm13 is the Android versions.
cm11 means Android 4.4.*
cm12 means Android 5.0.* [no longer exists]
cm12.1 means Android 5.1.*
cm13 means Android 6.*

I have already given you the link to the framework zip. Please re-read and try to understand my last explanation
After flashing the zip, you will have to go to play store and search for the Sony apps you wanted.
About the recommendation part, I have no idea as I personally are not using cm. However, for the question of "12.1 or 13", I'd recommend for you to go for 12.1 if you prefer stability, over bleeding-edge (cm13)

I don't think it's not very easy to port Z5 rom because it's totally different from our device system structure.If it's possible here's so many good expert developers who can port Z5 rom for our device.Though try your best you can learn and gain knowledge about it.

Understood but that cm will not work.Go to your LG Mobile forum in xda and find if anyone already built a aosp rom for your device.You can use that aosp as base rom.This sould fix the dpi problem.Otherwise you'll have to find same resolution port rom for your device.

What other problems?You sometime won't get help from the developers because this type of related threads are available many in xda forum.So it's better to use Google or xda search engine.You'll get your desire answer.If you are new to port rom it can be hard for you.We many uaers want Z5 rom for our device too but developers are refusing to do it.Or may not work properly in our device.So this is a very big challenging if are not an expert developer or user.You can ask problem maybe I can research the problem for you from my own knowledge and from XDA.

You again mistakes!Pendemic warned you in your early thread.And from there you already got your answer.Like I told you before you can't port z5 rom directly.Well this is not bad to try.who knows if you actually can port the rom successfully.
