You mean the 18 months old kk-version?
Battery was very good on a lot of kk-roms, although as I understood the OP, he was talking about the newer Roms he didn't check yet.

I read and understood what he said, and advised him accordingly. Why would i suggest a KK rom? He did say new right?
Have you checked the dev tread lately, you will find the new Slim Rom 4.8 ported by Rakesh. V 5.1.1 LP

Sorry, this is just a confusion.
Obviously you talk of the stock based SLiM Rom, and I was referring to the famous aosp-/cm-based slim Rom.
I hate the name they chose, it's so similar to slimrom.

i can't find slim rom 4.8. link please?
i only found 4.7 discontinued

I recommmnd the Google Style ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/development/rom-google-style-v1-0-t3300253
It's a Sony stock-based ROM with AOSP/CM apps. The fastest ROM I've ever used, and I get very regularly over 5h SOT with very, very heavy usage

It was his last port 4.8

I will try it after slim rom. My experience with purex premium is so good so far that I can't expect more.
This device still got some life in it. Definitely was a good deal.

Yes, you can. I am check the screenshot.
First flash Rakesh's port 4.8 full rom as a base for Z2. Then on your link download the 4.9 OTA and flash it.
Later you can change your buildprop line for model number to say D6503.

No its not as much slimed down like Purex or Google -Style and far away from the ~300mb of AOSP - like Roms.
But hey, if you install it as your first rom, it will go on systems partition anyway, so why bother? There are lots of people that say it's smooth and battery saving (although some complain about 4.9 being not so battery -friendly as the version before).
I am curious about which marshmallow-roms will show up, and till then I just stay with GoogleStyle as my primary.
Even spent some Bucks on AOKP, cause they made my old HTC wildfire run android 4.04 with tons of features and a power -saving mode I haven't seen on any z2-rom (autoswitch to 2g at screen off) so far....

Yes Sony said so. At the moment there is a beta program in selected countries.
Atm there are MM-builds of Validus, AOKP, AOSP, CM13 (and possibly others) available, hope Sony releases their official version soon.

[Q] Rooted phone. Any custom roms for this phone to flash?

So i successfully rooted my phone using odin and cwm recovery. i am on stock rom 4.1.2.
Can anyone please refer to a rom anyone used on this phone and it worked without many bugs.
i searched for cm11 but it still has many bugs on this phone so i ignored it. Please refer to me roms that have a newer version on android only. I dont want customised stock roms. just omniroms or maybe cm10.2. Thanks everyone!:laugh:

Interesting. Nice find, I didn't know this one. I will test to see if it's really KitKat :good:
Edit: it is a beautiful ROM, but it isn't KitKat. It's the same Android JB we all have in our devices. I'm considering to keep it installed.
It is for i8552B

well its nice, much lighter than the original stock rom. Plus its better and much sleeker than the touchwiz. Although its not a major upgrade like cyanogenmod. But yeah, worth more than the stock rom. One of the cleanest rom for grand quattro :good:

Yes, I tested. Let me write a little review.
I would say Bionic Monkey (the name of the rom) is a stock-based rom, with some interesting mods. By default the rom changes the DPI, so more things fit on screen. Some apps are KitKat-themed, like contacts or dialer. The stock launcher was replaced by Google Experience Launcher. It's also pre-rooted and has support to multiwindow. I didn't test multiwindow, but I think it's nice on that rom because of DPI.
The major disadvantage is that the rom is not KitKat, despite the system info. You can test it by installing any app only for KitKat - it will refuse to install.
So, in general, it's a good rom for daily use, so you might give it a try.

There's no KK for us, at least for now. All the roms that claim to be any Android higher than 4.1.2 are actually themed roms with mods on build.prop, but in fact they are Android 4.1.2.
The exception is CM (the one in link provided by you), that is KK in fact. But is still unstable and not suited for daily use.

To the best of my knowledge there's no stable Lollipop ROM. All ROMs have their own bugs. Why not try the few Popular ROMs yourself?

Nah, in my device i tried multiple lollipops but they are were laggy. So i got back on the latest cm 11 and things are smooth as silk.
I'm staying off lollipop for now.
I don't care about the super latest features, I rather have a stable and secure system.

Both Temasek and ArchiDroid are very fast and stable. I haven't try out the new versions of RR and Blisspop yet
bhai archidroid karle latest wala set hai !
Hi,
Haxynox is actually pretty fast and thin. Discovered a bug, but cannot post it there. So i'm thinking of kinda spamming this place till i get my count up to 10
But in general, KitKat seems better choice for i9300 era systems. Would be nice, if someone compiled as close to aosp kitkat as possible. CM was close, but now really gets bloated with its additional software. It even has CM account system. Maybe i will test out Omni.
Omni is ok, but no theme support, same like slim kk

what is the best nougat for opx?

I have been use Slim7 alpha for past week, I think it's pretty good..

DU is terrific!

Running Dirty Unicorns official for 6P for 24 hours now and I'm not finding any flaws.
Everything I've tried works and it's been fast and smooth with the stock du kernel.
I've been sticking to stock based roms since nougat came out but couldn't resist the du temptation.
I'll probably try flash kernel at some point to see how it compares and I want to try a theme or 2 but I must say it is impressive and worth checking out.
DU gets little press on xda and I just wanted to give an opinion to those who may not be aware of how great this rom is.

I tought to try it too, just curios about a point, is there a way to enable pixel animated navigation bar? get used to it and i would miss it...
I haven't tried any mods yet so I don't know what will work and what won't.
I was happy to see that google assistant works perfectly as I wasn't sure that it was included and I had been enjoying it on megapixel and cortex and weta roms.
As I said, my next foray will be try a theme or 2.

In DU stock kernel,they have wlan_rx wakelock feature ?
Thx for the thread, I didn't know if they updated DU to 7.1.1.
Does the stock kernel allows us to change screen and sound profiles (color & volume control) by using a kernel app like Ex Kernel manager or kernel adiutor?

so i would suggest you to flash the Flash kernel to unlock most and all of the functions in the exkm app.

I flashed pure nexus gapps and had doubles of a few things like calendar and clock. If it does have them, its not a huge gapps package. Im loving the battery life with flash kernel. Its the best ive had. Cortex and pure nexus are close though. Im also running DU with data as f2fs. As far as the pixel mods go. I had fc of pixel launcher when trying to use the live earth wallpaper. I flashed pixel launcher and wallpapers separately because i got a bootloop with the full pixel mod that included the pixel startup intro thing. Pixel dialer works. Google assistant works. I had to select the live earth wallpaper from within the settings menu. I dont miss the animated nav bar since more 7.1.1 themes are available now. It causes conflicts. I love this rom.

I suggest to stick on the Stock Kernel, it's terrific as the Rom itself. And yes it does have Wakelock Toggler in EXKM.
DU is my go to Rom, the Team is great and they release just rock solid Builds. Compareable to Pure Nexus.
There's a 12/29 rc version on Google plus. Has anyone tried it and can it be dirty flashed over official?

Fast/Stable/Daily Driver ROM

It has been years since I have followed up on Moto E2's development (not post 2015 I suppose). I feel like the stock ROM (5.1.1; yes I went back to Stock) has become laggy after updating it with all these apps. So, any suggestions on what I should flash? I want something clean, fast and should have good ram management, while not being laggy like the Stock L.
Thanks.
