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

I made this ROM for my Xperia P device in this thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889581
Some users reported that it can also be installed on Sola and working fine. Not so surprising though as build.prop is modified not overwritten and most stuff I added are stuff from T/V so it's quite possible. I don't have devices on hand to test myself besides Xperia P so let me know what works and broken there so I can try fixing it to make it more generalized.
Very promising ROM
Appearantly it works on Xperia U and should also work on Sola/Go too for any 6.1.1.B.1.x stock ROM. Make sure you prepare root/busybox/init.d before flashing this ROM.

Hello Windows X,
Thanks for your job, I have tested Fidelity VX 7 and8 and it's great !
I just have one weird problem with the 8.0 version, I'm not able to connect to internet through 3G/3G+ unless I ask to the phone to search and download MMS and Internet configuration ( in setup ) each time I boot the phone.
Sorry for my poor english if you have trouble to understand.
It probably has something to do with partial working JB files. I hope next release will solve those problems.
Version 9.0 was released btw and v10 with Xperia Z files is in development.
Hi!
I've updated my XPERIA P up to JB. The NFC module doesn't work properly. I can't transfer to another XPERIA P (ICS) photos, but can tranfer only contact from adress book or Youtube link. Also my phone have no reaction for XPERIA Smart tags which comes in package with phone.
I've founded more 3 guys with same problem after update to JB.
Does anybody know solution?
P.S. NFC worked properly only in Android 4.0.4 (6.1.1.B.1.54), in Android 4.0.4 (6.1.B.0.544) and in stock firmware (Android 2.3) NFC didn't work too.

Probably a kernel issue. Wait a few days and you'll see someone coming up with a better kernel which supports all these

This issue is observed both on stock kernel in JB and in Sliding XP Kernel v8.1.1. About other kernel I don't have information.
I dunno, I find it interesting but after flashing Nemsis Kernel on my Xperia P (on stock JB), the NFC works well now (at sending any files). perhaps you can try that ?

I heard about this kernel... Can you share with link? Maybe I'll try it
P.S. 2 guys have wrote that NFC works if SIM card is removed .... I've cheked it out. Yes... NFC works with Smart tags when the phone is without SIM, but I still can't transfer photos.
It seems there are many users who have issue in NFC modul:

I'm losing hope to find solution...
I just bought an xperia P LT22i yesterday and it could detect smart tags just fine. Then I updated to Android 4.1.2 (6.2.A.0.400) (don't know exactly what changed) and it completely ignored my tags. Would never detect them.
I tried to update that smart connect app andit didn't change anything.
Than I reseted my phone to factory settings. It didn't downgrade the system, but the smarttags app was gone and the smart connect app (wich has been downgraded) started to detect the tags 100% and treat them as "events". When I touch a tag it starts an event and if I touch the same tag again the event ends. And smarttag app is useless.
I know nothing about file transfers, never tried them.
I've got some news
I've did it, I've transferred files via NFC.
1. Reset setting to factory defaults.
2. The Smart Connect app updated from market.
3. Took the second Xperia P and tried to transferred files, but got fail. Then I noticed that bluetooth didn't start on the second Xperia P to provide recieving/transfering files. I switched on bluetooth and then NFC on the second Xperia P.
4. The phones must be placed relative to each other in spacial way. It seems that NFC in Jelly Beam has very low power of radiation.
5. File transfer has started
6. BUT the phone still can't find NFC Smart tags...
There is some advice to make NFC tag works with Xperia P JB (in Russian) http://vk.com/topic-35919535_28235141?offset=0
1. Run Smart Connect app
2. Enter into search new device menu
3. Start search and put the tag close to NFC module
4. Smart Connect app must detect the tag
5. Now your phone will recognize this tag and you can add some action into Smart Connect app.
For some users this instruction works fine, but not for me unfortunatly.... Maybe you'll be lucky!

Only flashing the Baseband of 6.1.1.B.1.75firmwares via Flashtool

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.
I'm deeply puzzled, and a bit annoyed my shiny new Z7 Max doesn't seem to have working infrared. I can see the thing, but software can't.
Bought the phone off Feebay, has a "Westone" logo on the back, along with China Mobile. ROM seems stock, shows as Android 5.1.1 and has no obvious bloatware.
The reception seems no better than on my old THL T6 pro, but the GPS is vastly better (can even get a lock indoors). Both hate having two sims (from the same provider) fitted - Another reason I upgraded, and another irritation, but one I can live with.
There was something about explore Nubia OS when it first started, and I'm used to KitKat, so there might be some tweaks or other away from stock I don't know of.
What's bothering me is I can't find any sign of an IR app on it, and anything I've downloaded just says the phone doesn't have an IR port.
Anyone got any ideas? Or known working/ stable roms where the IR *does* function?
I'm using MoKee, and it seems to work; can control my tv, which is all i've used it for. The app that comes with the ROM is called Infrared control.
This is the one I bought ebay.co.uk/itm/272424574812
I can't find any hint of IR software on the phone as it reached me, so will see if the seller can help (unlikely) and then.. Gasp.. invalidate my warranty by finding a rom that *does* operate the features the phone was sold as having.
I imported mine, but it also came running android 5.1 and with play store. Unfortunately I didn't try out IR before installing custom ROM, and can't remember if there was any IR app installed.
The app which comes with MoKee appears to be a Nubia app though.

I can't find a download for the IR app that came with the phone, so may as well go for a different rom I guess.
Are there any known/ annoying bugs in Mokee?
Nothing I've noticed, but there's some stuff I haven't tested, like second SIM, Bluetooth audio and tap to pay. Probably other stuff too. Do a backup first and you've got nothing much to lose.

I recieved mine yesterday from GearBest. It also has the Westone logo on it and aside from missing the IR app was also missing the FM Radio.
After a little searching around I found a German forum from where I downloaded the, what seem to been stock, apks.
Now my FM Radio is working fine, but IR is still not functioning. An IR Romote App sugested a library is missing....
P.M. If you want the links, since I cannot post them due to new member restrictions.
I wasn't worried about FM radio, but did notice there was no sign of it.
I looked around for the IR app, but kept getting rather suspicious looking, definitely not, IR things in disguise.. Sigh.
It sounds like you've made some inroads though, fingers crossed there's a solution to this (though slapping a non stock rom on isn't a problem, *if* all features work relaibly).
Edit to add:
I've found an official ROM and copied the control and control test apks from it.. But although the app loads/ runs, there's still no sign of life from the IR led itself. No doubt I'm missing something the OS requires, it's been a while since I played with these things (and I wasn't very good at it then!).
I have same problem i extracted from 3.84 romofficial the 2 apk ir control and zfm radio only radio works hope there is a solution out there....
I bought the phone from china bangood and no help is provided...
Infrared works on z7 Max bought from banggood on CM12.1 ROM (www.needrom.com)

this is the infrared apk (cn.nubia.control v3.0.1.1011) from the CM12.1 that works 100% in the CM12.1 ROM, you can try it on your ROM and see.
Note: - i beleive it has to be a system app but you can try installing as normal and see if it works, if not then you will have to make it a system app, also the Z7 Max has to be rooted to be able to do as below.
Here's how to make it a system app -
1). Install the attached app as usual.
2). use an explorer app like 'Root Explorer' and
move "ZTE_IRControl.apk" (which will very likely be in /data/app)
to /system/priv-app
then restart phone and then try the infrared app.

I can't install apk ..... Phone is rooted
---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------
This apk doesn't install I have the phone rooted and my ircontrol.apk that I got from previous ROM I install it doesn't work then move it to system/priv-app reboot still not working I'm loving this phone but I don't like that ir is not working
I got mine from Banggood as well. Here's how I got both FM and IR working. All referenced apps unless otherwise stated can be found on Needrom under the Z7 Max section.
Phone needs to be rooted - use the utility "Z7 Max All In One Tool v3.3.0" to root and install TWRP, followed by SuperSU ZIP file from Chainfire via TWRP.
Extract the nubia_IRControl1.apk and nubia_ZFM.apk from the Stock ROM V3.89. Place them in your SDCard/microSD card.
Under Settings > Security - Allow installation from Unknown Sources, install the IR and FM APKs.
I used 3C Toolbox Pro from Play Store to move both apps to the system folder. Both runs nicely in the stock Nubia 3.96 that came on the phone.
Further on, I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working. Both the stock and RR ROMs were working nicely, I just wanted the latest security patch by moving to RR.
For starters thank you very much for your help I already root my device with kingroot and I copy the twoapks from previous ROM 3.89 and install them then made them system apps by copying them to priv-app with root explorer
The problem is that the IR still not working can you help me skittle bit more cause I don't won't to change ROM I like this 3.96 please advise...please
finally I flashed the ResurrectionRemix Nougat Rom dated Feb 03, 2017, both IR and FM apps are already included and working...do you have a link of official rom 3.96??
Unfortunately I cannot find a download for 3.96, the latest available is 3.89 from Needrom.
hi
i too have the same issues, basically the IR has not been built into the lollipop rom. any help greatly appreciated as i love this rom
Radio is working on 3.96 but not ir only in RR nougat
Had other things take my attention off this problem - Glad to see lots of useful info in the thread now
I'd better get downloading and faffing.

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
