Sony has been giving away some hints about Xperia owners can expect when KitKat 4.4.3 heads their way and 4.4.2 for the Xperia X, SP, T, TX and V. It has been suggested that features will be along the lines of those of the Xperia Sirius and the Z1 and features could also include two brand new user interfaces, along with camera modes and battery managers.
The interface for the Sony Sirius did get leaked and with it came a simple homescreen along with the Xperia one. In the leak you could see changes to the icons along with the addition of new status bar icons and battery icon.
With the release of Jelly Bean 4.3 Sony offered Smart Social apps along with new camera modes and user interface. The Sony Xperia Z1, Ultra X and other devices in the Z series may have features that are exclusive from Sirius. These may include Timeshift video and Background Defocus.
The Smart app was updated with a new look and it features a Close All button. This is a part of the Recent Apps and comes with Smart Backlight. This is somewhat similar to what owners of the Samsung handsets have with Smart Stay. The KitKat 4.4.3 update comes with support for call handling, double tap to wake and white balance.
The Xperia Sirius has some sound options that are new and this includes audio accessory support along with high resolution audio USB. It is to get S Force audio and Clear Audio along with xLoud engine.
It offers owners customisation choices when it comes to notification along with status bar. This includes My Xperia themes. Right now those with Jelly Bean 4.3 cannot apply a lot of customisation with My Xperia Themes.
Along with this KitKat has brought with it stamina mode, better power management, low battery, location based Wi-Fi and it allows the background data to be queued so as to save on the battery.
The Sony Xperia Z will get updated first to KitKat, followed by the Xperia SP, T, TX and V, which could have to wait for some time for Android 4.4.3.
Nice
Nice to dream... but... Seriously? What's the source of all this info?? :cyclops:

Hope for that...
How about these features for example?
- lower memory requirements and better memory management
- user-customizable setup / debloat-able, not one size fits it all
- sort of semi-administrator rights out of the box, for example kind of which makes the owner rooted temporary to allow removal of items definitely not needed
- day and night UI setting (EvolveSMS and some other apps have this, it's brilliant)
- colour accents choosable
- navigation button user adjustable right out of the box
- a power menu with reboot option included
- bring back the screenshot option to the power menu
- a numbering of the volume and brightness adjuster scales for easier remembering, or on-screen number pop-up
- reliable repeat notifications for calendar, sms and other occurrences, even when the phone is sleeping
- adjustable LED colours for different notification types
- more reliable syncing for calendar + phone book, and not binding sync function to the presence of the latest version Play Services
- a user control of which metadata may be synced
- setting for combining camera pixels together lowering their total number and increasing effective pixel size, therefore actually achieving a better image quality
- thoroughly cleaning up the Play Store
- not binding paid apps functioning to the presence of Play Store
- clearer descriptions of what has been changed when upgrades are presented, not just "performance enhancements"
- revise the user rating system to actually provide useful information
- stop counting the number of features as the benchmark, but to highlight and promote other features such as efficiency, ease of use, or battery friendliness
- stop removing setup and preference options, many apps actually have become less user friendly and crippled
- give the user always a choice.

Personal opinion and bugs
Hello alexega,
first of all. This rom is great! Job well done
But the reason I write to you is because I noticed some bugs while setting everything up.
1. You can't unlock the phone with the fingerprint scanner, if you don't press the power key. So if you don't wake up the display.
2. The screen resolution doesn't change. The (app) icons are not sharp and the scale of the hole display isn't changing at HD+ to FHD+ to WQHD+.
3. You can't configure the network speed settings in status bar. (At least I didn't found it)
4. In your custom settings menu is no "back button" like in the original one.
So far.. now I switched back to your Oreo Rom.. the main reason is the display resolution.. it makes the look of your phone bad. You can see in close distance the single pixels of pictures, icons, etc.
I would really appreciate if you could fix this bug!
Great new Rom!
Pedda
EDIT: I am using the S8+ (G955F).
And could you change the battery information in settings for the different devices? 3000mAh for S8 (G950F/FD), 3500mAh for S8+ (G955F/FD), 3300mAh for N8 (N950F/DS).
Good day. Is the Oreo rom for S7 edge? Can you share link please? Is it working better than Lineage Room?

Hi everyone. I couldn't disable fullscreen caller image. Is there anyway to do that ?

Hi, folks,
I've just bought a Moto X4 (XT-1900-6), and before anything, it has updated to android oreo.
The thing is: none of apps that I've installed has that animation when is loading (that arrow circling). Looks like when it is running in the battery saver mode.
I'm note sure if the performance is being impacted or if it happened before the android updating.
Do you guys could help me? Do I need to give more information?
Thanks anyway, and sorry for my crappy english
Enable developer tab in settings and change animation scale to 1x or 0.5x. By default, Motorola disables animation scale.
Hello guys,
This ROM is extended version of lineage. I have added couple of features on top of it as per my requirement. I am sharing it here for the users who are lineage fan and dont want to use a feature filled rom.
Declaration: I do not tinker with device tree and kernel. This rom is built on lineageos official device and kernel tree. Dont blame me for any broken hardware if you face such. I assume you have already tried lineageos official before coming to this rom.
Added features are:
Center Clock (System > Date & Time > Advanced)
Battery icon customization (Customization > Miscellaneous)
Recents clear all with FAB location (Customization > Miscellaneous)
QS Customization, includes transparency, rows and columns, brightness slider position and hide titles (Customization > Quick Settings)
Auto face unlock toggle (Customization > Lock Screen)
Lockscreen quick unlock control (Customization > Lock Screen)
Battery charging current info (Settings > Battery)
Option to hide lockscreen clock, date or alarm (Customization > Lock Screen)
Fingerprint success vibration on off toggle ( Customization > Miscellaneous)
Unlock with fingerprint after reboot without entering PIN ( Customization > Miscellaneous)
Dismiss notification with fingerprint swipe (System > Gestures > Swipe fingerprint for notifications)
Ambient music ticker (Customization > Lock Screen)
Oneplus bootanimation included (My forever favourite bootanimation)
Small things: Reset battery stats, Android P system animation, LTE Tile, Default USB configuration, Roaming icon toggle, emergency mode hidden from power menu, Mobile data disable without warning, New Volte icon
Apps, notification and battery optimization screen has a search bar for your convenience.
This ROM is based on @abhishek987's tree. In fact it uses the entire source of his rom. Be rest assured, he is a champ and his tree will never harm your device.
Instructions:
Same as lineage unofficial by Abhishek
Credits:
Huge thanks to @abhishek987
Thanks @rocker86 and @dwaipayanray95 for testing the builds before release and giving feedbacks.
Features are cherry picked from various roms so thanks to all of them.

Note: if your original mac id was destroyed by flashing 15/04 RR build but you could still connect to wifi as of now, flashing lineage official or this build will destroy your wifi. You need to recover your mac id by methods explained in multiple xda threads. You have been warned already.
If your mac was not destroyed previously then by flashing this build you can see the original mac id.

Please check again, I have turned on link sharing.
If you think it is a useful feature can you please add internet speed indicators on status bar. This missing feature is preventing me from using lineage since long.
Just a request

I've PMed you a test build with clock customization. Please test whenever you have time and report back.
Clock customization has right/center clock with option to display AM/PM and Day.
It doesn't have left clock and date and will remain like this as it fulfills my need of center clock.
The option will be there under system - date & time - advanced
