if a AOSP rom is avaliable then there you go, install that
AOSP= Android Open Source Project, a AOSP rom is just base android aka the base version of the firmware of all android devices but it does t have oem stuff so it should look like a nexus
so in short stock android=aosp rom, if avaliable for z2

cant delete photos
another issue I have. I cant delete the photos taken from the camera. When I delete them and restart de phone, they are back again. But screenshots, WhatsApp images, those I am able to delete them, and they dont come back again. Why is this happening? Is the OS or maybe MicroSD?

Are you using File Commander to delete them? With KitKat firmware, 3rd party apps can't be used to delete files from SD card. You need to use system apps like File Commander.

[Q]Can't use Google TTS rather than Pico

Hi,
I upgraded my ROM version (Stock) and lost my Google TTS service,
I only have the Pico one..
I do have Google Now and its working with the good smooth fluently unrobotic voice, but I can't make it to work with other apps..
I tried many kinds of apps but they all choose to use the Pico service (I don't have any more option in settings)
I guess I lost the .apk file on the system/apps for that..
Could anyone please upload that for me?
I don't know how its called, just upload everything looks familiar or has the word Google voice/TTS/text to speak/ speach/ idk..
Or perhaps you are familiar with that problem and know exactly what the solution for that is,
That would be great,
I'm running Android 4.2.2 on Sony Xperia Z (rooted with Stock de-odexed ROM)
Thanks ahead!!
Yarden.

How to port Apps for Android L?

Hey everyone,
at the moment im switching between AOSP Android L and FlymeOS 4.
I really love some flyme apps especially the camera (because of filters), the calculator, sms app and file explorer.
But i don't want to miss the smooth, battery friendly experience of android l.
so my idea was to port the apps i want from flyme to android l. i found some tutorials, but the necessary pictures aren't available anymore.
anyone have an idea how to do the easiest way? i stuck at finding the correct libs and jar files. and if its possible to use flyme apps with the original framework-res.apk of android l or if i have to combine these?
i don't think that anybody portet these apps, so probably you could help me or give me the needed informations
thanks
nobody any ideas?

Is this possible?

Hi
I am VERY new to custom android roms and just tinkering. is the below possible?
I want to emulate a rom on PC, tinker with it as if It were on a phone, install apps and change settings in those apps then save it as a custom rom INCLUDING the settings in all the apps I tinkered with then upload it to my phone.
A not so good example would be to emulate a rom for my note 2, play a game to level 5, save the rom & upload it to my phone. I can then upload the same rom with the game save to 2 phones.
Is that possible? if so, how?
Thanks SO much in advance!!!

you can emulate android but I've never managed to run a rom from a specific device I also wanted and it must me possible but hard.
to run an android there's several tools
here's the link for the tool from google that have an stock android emulator but it's very slow
there's also an program called blue stacks emulator and if it isn't fast enough too google android x86 that is the system itself that you can either install on a virtual machine or install it directly on your computer

Sony apps on Z2 CM12.1

Hello Forum,
So I've seen various different ports and apps for the newer Xperia range but cannot seem to find a solution for a Z2 running CM12.1 not CM12.
I've been reading through these but still cannot seem to find what's needed.

I used to have a Custom Stock ROM running on the Z2 before upgrading to CM12.1 how ever I set up the stock with the apps well over a year ago so cannot seem to remember how I had put the apps accross.
Now I'm running CM12.1 I'm not sure if I need to use the Apps from the Z3/Z5 etc as they're based on the newest OS.
I wanted to try get the sony album,network connect tools ,and sound/media apps.
I've tried restoring the Album app as a test with TitaniumB but no luck.
Anyone got any ideas ?

In Google you can find album apk that works on every device.
There's also walkman zip for cm devices.
The zip is called: Xperia_Z5_Premium_Walkman™_Port_v1.1_by_androidexpert35.zip
But I had no luck with camera apk.
Sent from Xperia Z2
Luckily not from an iPhone = Yesterdays technology at tomorrows prices
i use this way and everything's work fine, i'm only using the music, album, sound Z5, and video

you can test this two camera apk , htc and lenovo , work fine
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298961488 htc
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195905998 lenovo
Thank you, but I am looking for the Google Camera because it has special features like a "bokeh" effect with one Camera only...
Moreover, I managed to get it under Umi Z with 6.0 ROM, flashing a Zip file with TWRP; but I didn't find anything like this for 7.1.1 ROM... That's what I would love to find
