Stable Custom Rom For Z1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm really bored and i want to try a custom rom on my c6903 but i really don't know witch one is stable and battery friendly. Any sugestions? I want a 5.1.1 , was thinking about CM 12.1 but i saw in the main post that it has some bugs and in fxp thread users said that there is some camera problem.

I was also thinking about it days ago. What is the most installed custom rom by the people of the community?
I will not ask what is the best one, because each one has its particularity, but it would be good if someone could indicate some roms, especially now that we know the Z1 will not get more official updates.

havent noticed any camera problem on cm12.1 roms but a big problem some users had including me was some screen problems..(screen's sensitivity is higher than usual and makes some problems) ... it has great multitasking experience.. good battery life .. lower sound output than official builds on default . I tested many ones and my choice is resurrection rom .its better than others... but i switched to official 5.1.1 pre-rooted with some customization ,became a beast... but i prefer the resurrection but i had screen problem ...
hope i could help you

if you like the basic CM functionalities.
Regardless of that, testing multiple ROMs is recommended as that will give you a clearer outlook on what's better.

thanks, but i couldn't find any description about the omni rom
[email protected] :
thank you i will install that rom after i buy a new sd card in the next few days, bcuz now i have only 1gig sd card, and that rom forces you to have a big sd card, beceause it uses sd card as internal as a new feature , and i don't like that feature
My Opinion
Here's what I think about the different ROMs out there!
CM11 - Great support, lots of MODs, very stable. But tends to get laggy very soon.
AOSPA - Some great unique features, great Audio, better touch sensitivity ( All the @neXus PRIME ROMs have these features.
PAC - Loaded with all the goodness from all the ROMs, but had some random reboots but that might be my problem only!
OMNI - The ROM which is the most close to AOSP. Almost the pure android experience.
AICP - Loaded with features and honestly, overloaded. Gets very laggy, really soon.
AOKP - I'm not an AOKP lover, had random problems with AOKP.
Vanir - 4.4.2 version was absolutely brilliant. It was THE fastest and most responsive ROM out there. With 4.4.4 came lots of bugs.
CM 11s - A very nice ROM. Stable and good battery life upto an extent.
Stock Based - They are really stable and provides improved functionality over the Stock FWs. But no KitKat love for them!
Out of all these I personally prefer the OMNI ROM.
P.S : All these are my opinions and may NOT be how the ROM works out for others. I respect all the developers who worked behind them

[Q] Rock Stable 5.1.x ROM for MI3?

Hi Guys,
I have been using diff. of ROMS lately but havent found the right one for me. So instead of trying all ROMS(all latest builds) I would like to have your opinion/findings on what is the most stable 5.1x ROM for our beloved MI3. Below is the list of ROMS I have tried that i have trouble with. But i still thank the developers for keeping ROM development for our device alive!
IVAN ROM - Good Battery but having trouble with performance, especially with playing HD videos (it hangs mostly and noticeable lag).​CM Cancro 06/11 - Fast ROM with good customization, but have few quirks like camera sometimes has problem or with SOD.​HD ROM - Looks really good and very customizable, but has also trouble with performance with HD playback​
Please feel free to recommend your daily ROM driver. Thank you in advance for your post. I will appreciate it.
currently i'm on RR's latest build with latest stuxnet+ kernel and the combination is rock stable , battery efficient , lagfree and above all SOD free
Paranoid ROM with phantom kernel...Good for daily driver and battery life is good.
only had this phone a couple of weeks - first steps: repartition, install TWRP and try out some ROMs.
Have settled on PA - I prefer themes to Layers - very stable, no in-call issues or device going unresponsive.
PAC rom latest version..
All SOD and network bug free.
RR has network bug.. I and many users reported. . also same bug in recent CM commit involved roms.
PAC, CM-Cancro, Tesla rom, OctoOS,RR

Best Rom?

Hi Guys,
My moto G 2014 lags quite a bit and the battery backup is horrible .. I'm on stock currently.
I'm new to rooting and stuff, so need suggestion as to which is the best (not fast, but just no lags .. battery is very imp) .. I'm not a gamer or anything, just normal whatsapp and photos, thats all.
Thanks
all rom are best. please choose rom according to your choice and like
OK so here is my opinion, (note it's My opinion)
Stock based : Radium Redefined v1.2
Cm 12.1 : Fusion LP or Orion
Cm 13 : Vatsals Optimised Cm 13 Builds
AOSP 5.1.1 : Minimal Os
AOSP 6.0 : haven't tried any type yet.
I've used all with just Whatsapp, Uc Browser, 2 games and a couple of music apps.
All the above give me more than 5 hrs of SoT with little gaming that is.
For me cm13 official
I try :
Cm 12.1 : works well but some bug time to time
Cm 13 : I love marshmallow but big big problem with sim network provider, always lost connection and poor battery
SlimSaber 5.1.1 : the best for me.
I really waiting good connection and battery life with marshmallow.....
I use stock kitkat 4.4.4, rooted+xposed for some modules(greenify, amplify...), unistalled some system apps that I dont use. I downgraded from Minimal OS because of battery backup and reliability. Now I am getting AT LEAST five hours SOT with heavy usage, a lot of youtube, whatsapp and FB. No force closes unless you unistal something you need for the phone to work properly but you can fix it with a Nandroidbackup.
However, if you mind having the look of lollipop I definitely recommend Minimal OS as it is VERY VERY STABLE, it has the best battery backup on any lollipop rom I tried (at least 7 roms), I think i faced 3 reboots in 2 months since it was my daily driver other than that, rock solid.
Best roms for moto g 2nd gen (xt1068)
The following roms are the most stable roms i have ever used on my moto.
1. Blisspop. (with maximum customisation) BlissPop-v4.0.3-titan-OFFICIAL-20151031-1345
2.Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Minimum customisation) cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-titan
Try them, you will definitely love it.
Cheers
I'm using minimal OS and i have any single lag (on other rom's there are many as you said) also battery backup is very good. You have to try it!
THIS is what I'm using...
I've been using Nexus Experience 10.1 with Extended Kernel and am extremely happy with it. No bugs, very smooth, excellent battery life, and pulled a 29203 on AnTuTu Benchmark(Would post a screen shot but am not allowed).
YMMV, as they say...
I would suggest you Minimal OS 5.1.1 . It's very stable, no bugs what so ever. Integrated kernel is very battery friendly but you can have any kernel you want really (Halogen R14 is my choice) . RAM management is on top of what the device is capable of and it got everything you need in terms of customizing your device while keeping it clean and not overloaded like CyanogenMod.
Not that there is any "best rom" but here is my opinion:
6.0.1 -> Broken OS by ishubhamsingh
5.1.1 -> (1).SlimSaber by aayushya, (2).Minimal OS by vatsal
Stock -> definitely 6.0 over 5.0.1
I recommend SlimSaber as I am a huge fan of Slim, the roms are always very fast and light, which means good battery. If you want a pure AOSP experience, go for Minimal OS
As far as kernel goes, Decipher kernel is really great. The kernel that comes with broken os is also very good. Rest kernels have too many features which may end up slowing it down
5.1.1 definitely Resurrection Remix ROM (v5.5.9)

No, because you need Marshmallow sources from Sony, which they'll never release.
Z1 is done and obsolete. If you really want the latest Android version, download the unofficial CM/AOSP Marshmallow ROMs; otherwise, buy a new phone. Although CM/AOSP MM build has been released a while ago, they're still full of issues (camera is bad, low battery life, etc.). They're still under active development, so things may change in the future. I recommend staying with Lollipop because it's stable and has excellent battery life.

Thanks for your help.
I'm on 5.1.1 Kai rom + rockz1l kernel.
and I love sony features.(DSEE HX, Sony camera...)
So, I wish what I said, but it can't....sadly :crying:
maybe, buy used Z2 or X series is best choice in current situation.

People had success with porting Sense 6 to hammerhead, and it's surprisingly usable with some issues considering it's a non-source port for an entirely different device.
Porting a proprietary ROM is a pain as it mostly involves trial-and-error to find out what's preventing the ROM from booting up but we will see if a similar project appear for the Z1

[Q] Most stable Xperia Rom for SP

Hi everyone,
Okay I know this is an odd question. Actually the question is,
What is the best Xperia themed rom for SP ?
I've tried a lot but all those have some major problems. Now I'm looking for a stable + smooth xperia themed rom for my device.
I prefer 4.4.x and above.
So would you please tell me your opinion ?
StryFlex is running well but it freezes my device 4 or 5 times a day. I need to force reboot my device then.
Do please share the best rom you've used so far.
Thank you.
try cm 12 or cm 13 with helium kernel...
The Best Rom may be Tweaked and Clean Rom 4.1.2 , Been using it for a week now , tremendous battery life and super rom , no lag at all or no restart.
Though there are few bugs as it is an ALPHA ROM , AOSP Nougat 7.0 is the best ROM for XSP till now , as per my opinion !!! Smart ROM , Smart Performance , Smart Battery ( Consumption )
Waiting for its official release , or CM14
