Can someone please explain to me, how to install an AOSP-based ROM or whatever it would be, onto my phone?
Or point me to a guide? I couldn't find any.

As you can see I'm a noob here. I know not all functionality is available, but that's OK with me. I just want to install a no-GAPPS OS onto my phone. Am I even in the right place?

Sorry and thanks.

You can use CM13 without GAPPS by @CTXz and crew

Read his OP for what's functional.

Or try Omnirom for Z5C
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/development/omnirom-z5c-t3388479
Omni can't be rooted at the moment but and has same camera / Bluetooth issues as CM13 but comes with a TWRP bootable kernel and the ability to boot straight in to recovery from power button reboot GUI.

The following instructions are found here
http://developer.sonymobile.com/kno...aosp-marshmallow-for-unlocked-xperia-devices/

".... Flash AOSP image to your device
Before you flash the images that you built in the previous step, you must make sure your device is unlocked through Sony’s unlock boot loader service.http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/unlock-yourboot-loader/
Then you can flash the AOSP images on your device by following these steps:
On your device: Connect the device to your computer in Fastboot mode, by pressing volume up while inserting the USB cable. When the device is in Fastboot mode, the LED on the device will be illuminated in blue.
On your computer: Flash the boot, system and userdata images by entering the following commands in a terminal window:
fastboot –S 256M flash boot out/target/product/<device>/boot.img
fastboot –S 256M flash system out/target/product/<device>/system.img
fastboot –S 256M flash userdata out/target/product/<device>/userdata.img
Note!It’s not necessary to re-flash the userdata every time you flash your device, but sometimes the new software is incompatible with previous content, which might result in a device that doesn’t boot. If you experience this, try to re-flash only the userdata again.
Now when you disconnect your device from the computer and start it, it will be running AOSP..... "

Also google " unlock Sony bootloader" "how to use adb and fastboot" for 1000 different guides on flashing a .img to your device.

The AOSP sony ROM doesn't have a fully functioning camera yet.

Here you go. Un tested as I just use fastboot but should flash fine with TWRP
https://mega.nz/#!EohiXLAT!E7M6MYTAcUsFg7w4o4yhePA6LTDDYU_2I_P-UCJetwA
Once you flash this you will have no way of accessing or booting twrp so can only return to your previous rom via experifirm.
Do a propper back up and wipe data and cache before flashing
Have a good one.

Doesn't it work on multirom?
I'm installing it now. Will come back with feedback.
LE: it works on multirom, it is very snappy but same issues as before. When you activate BT the phone reboots:)

Hey @Gandalf is it possible/appropriate to move this thread to "Android Development" as there haven't been any "original development" since the first page, and all the links I post are of stock un modified .img or . zip files, compiled code that is not originally mine... Thanks, for your consideration.

Aosp nougat z5c

Hi y'all.
Just compiled Android N for Z5C (Im not the first)
When the installable .zip and .img files have uploaded to MEGA, Ill post a link to the OP for those not able to build for them selves but want to test it out.
I have also become aware of another thread devoted to AOSP N builds for Z5C on XDA by CubeDev. http://forum.xda-developers.com/z5-compact/orig-development/rom-aosp-nougat-xperia-z5c-t3459509
@CubeDev has thoroughly tested "N" on the Z5C and already has trouble shooting, hints and tricks posted as we speak...type...whatever.

Bluetooth, camera, camcorder, torch, "security" option in system menu and reportable the set-up wizard don't work yet....Wish I could write camera software. I'm working on porting sony stock camera over to AOSP but have to teach my self a little about app compiling first. Might be easier to use the CM 13 camera.
ENJOY!
