Features
Individuality

Customization is paramount to productivity.
That’s why LineageOS promises to push for user personalization and preference.
Everyone is unique and your device should be too.

Security

Your data, your rules. With powerful tools such as Privacy Guard, you are in control of what your apps can do whenever you want.
Trust will help you understand the security of your device and warn you about possible threats.
We take security very seriously: that’s why we deliver security updates every month to all our supported devices.
And to make your device more secure, lock everything behind an enhanced lock screen.

Longevity

Installation instructions
Prerequisites:

• Unlocked Sony Xperia Z2
• Fastboot drivers to install TWRP
• Micro-USB Cable to connect your phone to your computer

Install:

1. Reboot to TWRP. *
2. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system.
3. Format data to get rid of encryption.
4. Install ROM.
5. Install 10.0 Gapps for ARM. **

* recommended TWRP: Post #2
** optional

Update:

• Get the latest build
• Boot into TWRP
• Flash the downloaded build

Note: If you don't wipe system, backuptool will reapply your modifications that support addon.d, for example: GApps.

Reporting bugs

• DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed
• Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)
• If it is a random reboot, grab /proc/last_kmsg. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

Known Issues

• FM Radio quality is worse then on stock, bit we can't do much without Sony's source probably. I am not working on that right now.
• Disk Encryption: Disk Encryption is working, however not with the default password (no password). Workaround: Set password first, then start disk encryption, not the other way round!
• You tell (with logs please)...

TWRP
Download TWRP 3.3.1 for Xperia Z2!
How to install this TWRP

• Rename the downloaded twrp image to twrp.img
• Reboot to fastboot by holding volume up while connecting your device to your computer
• Open a terminal and go to the directory with TWRP in it
• Type

  fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

• Boot into TWRP; while the device is powered off press the power and volume down button

A big THANK YOU to @OLDST4R for donating the Xperia Z2 to me!

Sometimes it helps to read what the OP wrote and make a judgement yourself. Sometimes...

Sent from my Galaxy Tab S5e using XDA Labs

That's why I am asking I can't decide whether I flash it or not

 

[@kitokit]

I'm currently on aex rom pie. How do I install it? Do I need to go back to stock mm? Or I can just wipe system, data, dalvik and then install the rom.?

 

[AnhAnNg]

Delay and very slow response, sometimes auto restart

-- problem found! Will push a hotfix asap.

I only spent a device to @NeoArian, i did'nt prepared anything...

Credits must go to @NeoArian and all the other devs, rom cooks and testers in the past and now, in Shinano family, like @Myself5, @drakonizer, @rcstar6696, @okij - there are many, many more. Simply be grateful, respect their work, and be happy with new software for our devices.

Problem is fixed, new build is uploading. If someone cares: The problem was because of a mismatching dalvik heap configuration which caused the phone to slow down incredibly.
Sorry for the bad start

It would be great if someone can confirm that RIL (SIM, Telephony, SMS, Mobile data) works fine because the SIM slot is physically broken on my Z2.

Happy flashing and have a nice day!

Good to hear, great work!
With video streaming i meant playing flash videos in a browser on various websites other than youtube (that was broken for me on another device using Lineage OS 14.1).

Video streaming works fine on tagesschau.de and in the netflix app.
