xperia pro (mk16i)

Hi.
I recentently purchased a sony ericsson xperia pro. (mk16i)
I upgraded from a x10 mini pro. This x10 mini pro has several threads of its own here about custom roms.
What I am confused about is the lack (every where, not only on xda-developers) of "support" about my device.
Every where I read about the arc, the neo the play and og course x8 and x10 mini / pro but the xperia pro (mk16i) almost never has it's own thread.
I can download cyanogenmod at download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=iyokan&type= and it actually works but when going to the cyanogenmod.com site and select devices my device is not there! I really want to see some releae notes or something.
Same on xda , when googeling I find some questions and sometimes answers about the mk16i but always in some other phones thread. Does that mean I can install that phones custom rom on my phone?
So is the pro the same as one of the other sony's or am i only one of the few who bought it?
Regards
Hans

not only you bought it, me too.
it seems that this phone is not popular which is strange because it seems to be the most advanced qwerty android phone at the moment.
I'm going to root it soon, maybe use some custom rom for it. Could you provide some links to pages which you were using while you were rooting your mk16i? any
thanks

Xperia ZL 4.3/4.4

Sony Mobile has just confirmed that it plans to update ten Xperia handsets to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from December 2013 onwards. The handsets on the list includes the Xperia Z series (Z, ZL, ZR, Z Ultra, Z1 and Tablet Z) along with the Xperia SP. It also confirmed that a number of older handsets will also get Android 4.3 including the Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V.
A number of recent lower-end handsets have not made the list at all though, including the Xperia L, Xperia M and Xperia C. The Xperia L and Xperia M should be able to handle the upgrade, so maybe Sony has decided not to update these handsets given their positioning. This would be a shame though especially since they only launched within the last six months. The Xperia C has limited availability so we can understand if that was left off due to commercial reasons. We’ll keep you posted as the countdown to the Android 4.3 update commences.

Saw this today also, great news......... 4.4 will also be coming to the Z series also ......
Why they didn't just update directly to 4.4 and skip 4.3? It will make more sense.

How's the performance of the eXistenZ ROM and Kernal? Does it improve the ZL's battery life?

Moto Z Play Unlocked vs Moto Z Software Differences

I recently received my Moto Z Play Unlocked phone and noticed it didn't have some features/software that at least the Moto Z for Verizon has. Not sure if the Moto Z Unlocked version has or not. But one of the main things was the command center widget the one that displays power percentage. I was able to download the apk to get that installed, but wanted to know if there are any other differences software wise? I know the hardware difference, like for example my phone can with the Google Now launcher install is that the same as the Moto Z? Any help on this would be appreciated and thanks for any responses.
Software differences between unlocked and verizon are carrier related. Verizon forces their bloatware onto it. Lenovo, uses very close to stock Android on their unlocked phones, which is an attractive feature for many users.

Moto Z Play worth double the price of Redmi Note 4?

Hi everyone, I'm looking to replace my xperia z3 which is dying and I'm unsure about what I should pick: Moto z play, Redmi note 4 or even Lenovo p2.
I'm looking for big battery (ofc), software, modding, audio, good screen.
Do you think Moto z play (320€) is worth double the price of redmi note 4 (145€)?
Thanks!
Depends on what lte bands you have near you (z supports us bands, redmi and Lenovo does not, I'm sure other countries use these bands), if you want stock software and frequent updates, front facing speakers, if you like Moto mods and swapable back covers, front flash, f2fs, good rom support, etc.
Ofcourse Z Play if between Note 4 and z play.
Z play has better gaming, quality,etc then note 4.
But for P2 and Z Play, P2 has more battery power/backup then z play.
P2 also have more higher specs then Z Play with- 4gb Ram, 64 gb storage.
But i personally prefer Z Play because of Premium look, mods and faster upgrades.(Even both phones are from Lenovo but Z Play will receive more faster Upgrades)
Cheers!?

Sony Z1 compact

Hej, i was thinking of buying a used xperia Z1 compact, or a Z2 etc, an older Sony xperia.
I read some guides that explain you can install android 8 or even 9 on them, is this reliable? Obviously, a Z1 or Z2 or anything that old will be having an older android OS, limiting the phone to various apps and features.
By installing/modding a Z1 compact with android 9, would i get all the modern features that a 'modern' phone would have, that is equipped with Oreo or Pie?
Also, the Z1 compact can be rooted/modded to have 120fps/4k video recording already since 2014, will one get this functionality by installing android 8 or 9?
https://www.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-and-z1-compact-get-4k-and-120-fps-video-recording/
Found the below guides for installing a newer android, but these guides seem not so great?
http://theupgradeguide.com/2019/10/...a-z1-compact-resurrection-remix-how-to-guide/
Those phones can be had rather cheap used, and i really like those phones. Have one with a shattered screen, but fixing that would be more costly then getting another one used.
Also, another question, a Z2 which screen doesnt respond sometimes to touch, is that generally a software or hardware problem?
Thanks alot for the input! :highfive:
