Did anyone get it work?
Tried to download and always zip-file does not work ... perhaps defect upload?

If the Z2 app works on CM..that'd be perfection!

What do you mean? Other than the occasional graphic hiccup, it works 100% for me.

I have rooted device, locked BL. I installed it from PhilZ recovery. Cleared everything first of course. Did not boot. Black screen, nothing happens.
Recovery gone... Had to flash back stock firmware and repeat the rooting process...

Does it require the unlocked bootloader?
Has anyone tried with the locked BL? Or should I just use a different recovery?

I don't want to unlock the BL unless it is _really_ needed.

Of course You need unlocked BL to flash CyanogenMod...

 

[twilliams08]

Cm uses a custom kernel so yes you need an unlocked bootloader to use it.

No wonder it didn't work. You have to unlock the bootloader.

Has anyone a good idea, how to get the camera from z2 working in this rom?

Doubt it's possible, I posted same question. Needs sony's framework to work and no one is working on that.

camera quality?!

hello guys! I come from the stock version of Sony kikat, which kernel do you recommend for the CM11? and with the camera where we are? stok version has improved a lot with kikat, while the CM11?

 

[jack5d]

consigli

no advice or opinion?

Kernel is included in the ROM package. What is the good reason to replace it?
Camera will probably give you just 8Mpix.

Btw, freexperia CM11 might be more safe and stable option. I found it to be slightly better than "Official" CM11. Main difference I saw was the broken screen rotation in Official version (20140321 nightly). But that may be fixed for now. The only known broken thing for me with Freexperia CM11 is the compass (version FXP311 and FXP312). Not tested with Official version yet. But I rather prefer screen rotation to compass

Good rom !!

Rom installed and working perfectly, is very good, the camera takes pictures at 20 megapixels, but the quality is a bit poor, cuguale to 4.3 stock sony ... if it had the same quality for the camera stock 4.4 sony ... . would be perfect!

 

[LaizyJumper]

ok thanks

Does the compass work properly for you?
How do you see camera using 20 Mpix? It only allows to select up to 8. Or maybe I need clean install again, after upgrade to last nightly.

the compass works in an approximate way ... I tried with Sygic ... for the camera settings I can choose various formats, including 20 megapixels!
