I'm bringing you the Xperia Z5G ROM for Nexus 5.

Enjoy it!

The reason for beign CM based and not stock based is because we have not being able to port the Xperia functions the ROM includes to stock firmware. However stability is decent.


Features:
Rooted | Xperia Z5 SystemUI | Xperia Framework | Xperia Phonebook & Dialer
Xperia Small Apps | Xperia Apps | Xperia Cameras | Zipalling
Xperia Interface | Xperia Widgets | Xperia Z5 Bootanimation | Sony Bootlogo
Xperia Lockscreen with Particles Effect | Aplicable Xperia Themes (CM)​

Bugs:

It is very important to take this into account:
  • Only use 3x3 pattern.
  • When battery saver is on it get a little laggy. Solution: reboot.

To take into account:
  • To use Xperia cameras, go to widgets and place "Cameras" widget, then you can open all cameras.
  • You can change lockscreen clock by pressing it for a while.
  • To activate lockscreen particle effect you must use the Xperia live wallpaper.
  • CM themes are still working. You can look for xperia adapted ones.
  • Small apps are in the recent apps screen.
  • How to use Xperia Camera:
    • To use Xperia Camera open it from lockscreen shorcut. Please remember it is a beta feature.
    • Default mode is SA (Superior Auto). Once you go to other mode and then try to get back to SA camera crashes.
    • To take front/back photos or record video use SA (SA settings doesn't work).
    • To take only back photos, with your own setttings, use Manual mode.
    • Please do not bother reporting Xperia Camera issues. We know them but it works and is great!

Installation:
1- Download and place in sdcard the ROM.
2- Go to recovery. Recomended: TWRP 2.8.7.0.
3- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache.
4- Install the ROM.
5- Install GApps.
6- Reboot.
7- Enjoy!​

You can continue the Stryflex Nexperia project which was made by @Tazerick and @dekefake. Sadly it was abandoned. They ported quite a lot of things. So you can look at it and make upgrade your ROM to a whole new level. ;)

@sebastiandg7 is OFC authorized to take Stryflex-Nexperia to enhance his Z5G rom

As i seen you tried to port whole Xperia firmware to Nexus 5, like galaxyuser did with Sense 6 on kitkat days.. U can hit me in MP's if u want. Worked on that too and i have a pretty good base, i think, and some stuff who can make the difference if you're good porting etc :)

Are you serious right now?
I didn't tested this rom because I'm not N5 owner anymore, but I think you just stole our rom and made it little bit different, and there is my camera (icon) from my TazROM too.
Maybe it's not stolen but some things are from us.. maybe? So you should add credits.
Good luck with this.

Man. I completely unterstand you so I am going to be very clear.

The ZG ROMs project started years ago initially for the Moto G with Jeally Bean. You can visit my contributions link and check it out.

The last ZG ROM (Z5G) was initially for the Moto G and Moto G 2. People liked and started asking to build it for other devices (12 in total), one of those devices was Nexus 5. Once I published the ROM I found out with this post, by @Hammerhead2502, that you had done an Xperia ROM for Nexus 5 before the Z5G. Then, @dekefake said we were able to use your Nexperia project to make improvments to the Z5G rom HERE.

I think everything is clear. I'm not going to add credits to you, unless I use part of your work here (wich is very probable as you have made a great rom).

No enemies man. If you want me to clarify anything else just let me know it.
