guys I looked in all Z5 series forums and none seem to have a fully functional AOSP roms (any thing thats not STOCK fw doesnt seem to be bug free)
and I know there are fully working but they all have these small bugs of laggy camera (focus colors everything) and some have distorted sound, some have not working wifi hotspot , some have blutooth issues and I need blutooth cuz i have BT headphones, can any one give me some thing good to go? thanks
Nope. Big issue with Sony Xperia series are camera and sometimes nfc. This will most likely not be solved until the Sony Dev teams releases the source and/or help developing the open source code. And that is very unlikely to happen.
The other issues beside camera and nfc are ROM specific. That is up to the ROM developer to solve.

Hi,
Sorry if this has already been covered but the search function is down right now so I can't check.
So far with Wolfbreak, Ultima and EWjet ROMs, I find that the videocamera doesn't pick up sound very loud at all. When playing videos back, the audio can barely be heard.
The volume is fine in all other respects (youtube/music/ringtone+notifications/in call volume), so the speaker hardware itself is fine - this is specific to the videocamera.
I've tried stock kernels that come with the Roms as well as Doomlords kernel (due to its in call volume fix) but nothing seems to help with this particular issue.
Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know how to fix it?
All suggestions welcome guys, and thanks in advance....

It's not a speaker issue, it's a microphone issue.
It captures low quality sound apparently.
Maybe someone can make an improvement by tweaking media_profiles.xml and editing the SemcCamera app.
UPDATE:
FYI
So I've now tried pretty much every custom 2.3+ ROM going and it's the same on all of them.
Reverted to 2.1 yesterday and the problem did not occur -
I then updated to official 2.3 via SE PC companion and found this same problem exists even on the official update, so it would seem that no matter what ROM you use, as long as it's 2.3 or higher, you WILL have this problem.
Sorry if this is common knowledge or anything but I haven't been able to find this info anywhere.

Hello, I have an Atrix 4G on AT&T. Rooted , stock rom and kernel. I rooted to make minor tweaks only.
I have the MW600 Bluetooth headset by SE, which has a display for track info.
The thing is that the atrix does not seem to support this feature. I tried google music, poweramp, songbird and the stock music player and none of them work. So is this hardware or software related? If its hardware, then theres nothing I can do. If its software though, is there anything
i can do that does not involve flashing custom roms? If that IS the only option, tell me which rom and i might just do it. Thanks again.
its software. i have sony ericsson liveview and besides the connection issues everything worked perfect. you could try another rom like cm7 or nottachtrix. it should support it anyhow.

Hey, guys.
I've recently installed CyanogenMod 10.2 on my phone (I9100G), and when I tried to record a video, there was no audio at all. Just a really low static noise. The Sound Recorder works fine and people can hear me through a call, so I figured it couldn't be a hardware issue. Unless the camera uses one side (which is stupid) theeen maybe it's be a hardware issue, because my left microphone (when Home button on the right) is busted.
I've checked out the other threads in this forum and I never really found a solution. Anyone mind helping me out here?
Cm10.2 has problems. Go to cm10.1 builds till there working well. Video is a problem ATM on 10.2
That's what I did, but it still won't record with audio. You think it could be a compatibility issue between the device and the camera software? Because the camera looks way different than in 4.1.2, unless that's what the 4.3 camera looks like.
I have tried 4.3 cm build and gone bk to 4.2 and camera video sounds works fine here. I've also used 4.3 camera and that work fine too. Try camera modual software. Did you flash a clean ROM or dirty flash from 4.3? Maybe hardware problem.
Did a clean flash.
I'm gonna try and flash some Camera APKs and see if it would fix things.
try some other. apk file of camera e.g fx camera
I've already tried flashing other camera APKs but none work. I guess I'll have to wait till CM10.2 gets official and mostly bug free. Lol. I'm sticking with 10.2 still, though.
Thanks, guys.
I've spent the last hour hunting for a Bug List for CM12 or AOSP Lollipop on the Z2, but I can't find anything useful. I'd love to install AOSP on my Z2 but I don't see the point if any of the hardware is non-functional.
Can anyone point me at the list of known issues for CM12, or the common ones for AOSP roms?
Do any of the ROMS actually have the Camera, WIFI, BlueTooth, Data, Tap to wake, etc all working well enough for a daily driver?
The only thing I found is the Known issues list on the CM12 WIKI but it was last updated 3 months ago, and the list looks way to short to be true.
As far as I tried it, only problem is the speaker is not working on calls. I mean you can make a call through the earspeaker, headset, Bluetooth etc. but you can not make it through the speaker. The sound just won't come out.
Other than that everything works.
Compared to stock Sony software;
-Google photos app isn't full screen unlike Sony Album.
-it's still far better than many phones on the market but Sony's Walkman sounds slightly better than CM's music apps.
-CM's music and call sounds are noticeably higher, but slightly worse on quality
-no Xposed for Lollipop yet
-when using Sony software, I always use it on power save mode but on the AOSP Lollipop, the top bar is orange when powersave mode is on. That's annoying

Sounds like there aren't any really big issues to worry about unless you need to put a call on loudspeaker, which I almost never do. It's bound to be a few months before we see lollipop arrive from a the mobile carry. Think I'll pick a ROM and try it out.

I'm on CM12 and the issues I have come across so far are
loudspeaker not working and earpiece not working on whatsapp calls.
There are some random force closes in the camera app
As a daily drivers it's good enough.
You cannot hear any sound on earspeaker from apps like Viber or Skype.. Voice on Loudspeaker is working fine during Internet calls.
My speaker does not work at all in any app or in calls. Also, Double Tap to Wake does not work.
Here is list of CM12 bugs that i came across. Not official. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/103915-cm-12-nightlies/

Hello,
I don't understand, there's tons of people using custom roms on C6833 device.
There's toussands of hundreds people that has at least tried to record their voice, their landscape, their street, their home.
How couldn't anyone notice that the sound recorded is inaudible ?
Even shazam can't recognize a well known music.
My snapchat friends don't hear me on their android and iphone nor on windows phone.
I had to switch back to stock to have some "stock audio recording".
It's like something is blocking the microphone when a custom rom is installed based on any cyanogenmod, rc, stable, nightly, ver 10.2 , 11, 12.
I have even tried to report this issue for a stable version of cm on kit kat with a log on jira.cyanogenmod, but I couldn't run the test the good way, gave up, they closed my report.
Please, anyone that understands codes, sources, developpements stuff, ask users, ask (wait, I'm gonna create a poll)
So my question is: Do you have a decent volume recording while you are using your camera app on cyanogenmod 10.2 or 11 or 12 ?
Witht the camera app, with snapchat, with shazam, with voice recorder app ?
Do your friends hears you ?
Do shazam recognize something at a decent level of your computer/radio ?
Do you hear yoyrself as on a stock rom when recording with a memo voice ?
Moderators: if I post this in Q/A, nobody will react, this issue is not taken seriously, I think that nobody records anything, this happens since I own a custom rom except when I relock the bootloader and use my stock laggy rom.
Please, make it know cm devs, ask every krait-400 based devices owners if this is still happening.
Poll seems to not work:
Even if you are a z1 owner, do you noticed the non-record of your audio when using anything that needs sound source ?
Did you ever tried to record a video with your device before and after flashing ?
End (want to delete it moderators, then delete it, but I already tried everything, I'm pissed of switching back on stock just for the sound recording works perfectly and losing the beauty of lollipop) + I hate kit kat stock with preinstalled apps
To mention: I even were on cyanogenmod.forum to discuss about it and nobody seems to take care of that issue, it's like they deal with it like I will have to do and like I have always been
