Of course you lose all Sony-only features when you install an AOSP-ROM. Only Sony-ROMs contain the Sony-apps
But there are substitutes, e.g. you can use the sixaxis controller app for connecting a PS3-controller. It is better then the Sony one anyways, because you can simulate touch-inputs with the controller.
I do not miss any Sony feature, but your mileage could vary. Just try it out for yourself.

yes and no, you can by the sixaxis app that does better job than the stock Sony one but you can't use the remote
i know some guyz working on twrp but its not easy at all...so soon as its fixed, u will give u ota updates...cuz to use open delta we need twrp cut its not working with other recoveries...well it works but u have to flash it manually, wich is then pointless to give otas

I can't install this or any other custom ROM as 'recovery' says: I need the 521/5**/5** version. I have the Xperia Z2 LTE Tablet 521! LOL. Any thoughts??
From wich rom are u coming from?
Your bootloader is unlocked?
U taking Castor build right?
Did u fastbooted included kernel ?
explain a bit more what u did in order to target whats wrong...thx

The tablet is Castor.
I'm on stock ROM: 17.1.2.A.0.314.
Unlocked boot-loader and rooted.
Flashtool was used to install the stock ROM, as I used ADB the first time, which is tedious.
I have installed via Flashtool, a few times, with no problems.
Tablet info reports that I am using SGP521 and all is up to date.
Recovery (Philztouch and CWM) says that it is unable to install (any) custom ROM, as it needs a tablet which supports SGP521/SGP5**/
This tablet is definitely a SGP521 machine and is running a stock SGP521 ROM.
The custom ROM's are ZIP-files and were tried using recovery.
Stock ROM was installed with Flashtools.

its not rom related for sure, its tablet or pc/drivers
make sure again u unlocked bootloader please...is this first cm/cm based rom u flash on this device?

I may have the answer: Flashify, reports that tablet does not have a boot or recovery partitions. This must be due to having installed the 'dual-boot' recovery. Therefore, Your ROM must be installed on just a rooted stock ROM.
---------- Post added at 03:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------
All custom ROMS have had the 'dual-boot' recovery reply with: "the device must be able to flash SGP521 etc, to run this ROM."
Lol.

Look, don't try all kindz of stuff...
there's only one way to install cm roms.
u unlock bootloader--->make sure it is
u put rom onto sd card
u fastboot included kernel with flashtool or cmd
u boot into recovery (wich is included in all custom kernel)
u make required wipes
u flash rom and gapps

I have already copied ROM onto SD card.
I have tried to flash with fastboot and boot.img but the img was on the PC, not the SD card.
I will try flashtool/fastboot with the boot.img, on the SD..
Thanks for your patience.

huh ?? the whole zip not modified on the sd and on the PC u open that zip and fastboot flash that kernel.
Whats the issue while flashing the kernel ? it says operation refused?
did u installed flashtool at your C:/ partition? at root of it?
In C:/FlashTool/drivers did u installed these drivers? 4 bowes need to be ticked:
fastboot drivers
flashmode
adb
drivers for Z2/tab Z2
Did u turned off antivirus program while flashing?
And if u are on stock rom; please bring back screenshot of your config menu with status of BL saying unlocked...thanks
i don't wanna pi*ss u off ...i just make sure to eliminate all causes
Hmm. I had unlocked my boot-loader, a week ago, when first receiving the tablet. Somehow, it had become locked again. I have unlocked it again.
I have now installed the ROM!!
I did not know that the boot-loader was locked but I assume it locks again when flashing a stock ROM?, even though it had been rooted and had the dual-boot installed, afterwards.
Once again: thanks for your time.

No prob buddy =)
It usually locks when u uses sus seus or these soft, wich now are obsolete or maybe pcc
it is not relocking with stock rom and flashtool that's for sure, or else u hit blu button by mistake...
