CM 12.1 as daily driver - Sony Xperia ZL

There are some unofficial CM12.1 builds for our lovely ZL, one in the development section in this forum and some unofficial builds by freexp ( http://fxpblog.co/cyanogenmod/cyanogenmod-12.1/).
I'm going to switch to CM cause I don't believe sony will ever release 5.1 or at least a stagefright patch for our phone.
Is anyone using 12.1 as a daily driver? Are the builds running stable? Is there something that holds you back from using CM?
Thanks for your opinions!

Hi. I'm on cm12.1 for a month and its working fine.

Thank you! Any idea where to get a recent build? Fxp is a month old and in the build by qsnc some things are broken (chrome?).
I'd like to build it myself, but since I have a bandwith of exactly 384kb/s it would take years to download cm source....

I'm compiling my own. ☺
You can try the version on the radio active time fix thread.

It´s ok not the best !!!

I installed CM 12.1 from official CM site and run pretty good, sometimes i think that phone its over heating, especially when im playing some memory drain game. I trying now back to Stock 5.1.1 (xperiafirmware) but have problen when try to flash TFT in flashtool.
In my opinion, i prefer stock than CM 12.1, but its only my mind. (excuses for my horrible english)

Seems like the party's going on at Xperia Z and we're not invited :(

They're already on stable KitKat roms and we're still struggling here on older versions
Can the devs port Z roms here so that we can test/ use and see how they work

There are ZL cm11 nightlies as well... though I don't see alot of activity in the CM11 thread... I haven't tried it myself at this point... (I did something screwy when I first tried the Omni 4.4 rom - think it may have been my gapps I installed - which bootlooped my phone. I haven't tried it again since...)

Ah my apologies, i wasn't clear, i was pointing towards these Roms-
[ROM] [Stable #2] [KitKat] [Official] [Z] [BeanStalk-4.4015] [06-DEC]
and
[KitKat][4.4.1][Omni]Team Asylum Omni 4.4.1 Naughties™ - Slim, Fast and Black Rum™
It would be nice to have a slimbean build for the ZL... (I ran that for a while on the S3...)
The Xpertia TX users have a patch, that can convert just about any Xperia T rom to one suiting their phone. I wonder if its possible for us to get the same as our hardware is almost identical.

actually cherry picks means some small changes(mainly ui and apperance) inspired from different roms and implemented in the builds
eg in official cm11 the holo is blue but in this rom its grey which is found in all kitkat roms xcpet cm11 and aokp
its is almost same as official cm11 but faster and better and smoother

Flashed baseband without any problem. however the touch problem is really bugging me. not able to use it as daily ROM switching back Stock. any suggestions on other AOSP ROMS? with ART support. i found it very good as the system turned very snappy

All CM 11 and CM 11 based ROMS giving me exact same problem. Tried Omniromi didnt like it. half the features they say doesnt really work. as in doubletap to sleep or wake up. PA ROM art is not supported. major reason to backout. cos ART works amzingly well in CM11. i really found my ZL to be faster.
what else would you suggest now?
two things really needed is ART and to be used as daily driver

Best 6.0 rom? Sorry it's common but..

There are just too many and not that much time to test! What's the most stable & closest to base CM? Thanks!
Mokee is the best!!!

You'll just get fanboy answers since its new and theres nothing stable. The work on CM took double digit versions before it was halfway usable and there still was a serious functionality issue (wifi not waking up) during that time. And CM was the most well known unofficial rom here with the highest user participation on reporting bugs and workarounds.
Probably best to stick with older more stable roms unless you don't need your phone for anything important.
CM is the best bro
Anyway mokee is also good one . But cm is the best .
Well then i may ask: what is the best stable rom (any version)?
cm11 may be suitable for daily used
i have tried almost all roms... and found below to be used as daily driver.......
Kitkat:
smiui
tesla
mokee44
Lollipop:
Mokee51 release version
Bliss
minimal
liquidsmooth
fusion
resurrection remix
tipsy
crdroid
Marshmallowby far)

Stable Marshmallow (or higher) rom for D852 suggestions?

My brother has a G3, but with LG's default 6.0.1 it's ridiculously sluggish, and hogs ram. He has the 3gb variant, and before apps are installed, it hogs almost 2gb of it. But my Mi3 which has cm13 on it, uses just 550mb. So my goal is to help find him something that isn't so bogged down with bloat and hopefully close to stock Android.
Unfortunately though, the latest cm snapshot for G3 is Lollipop, with nightly Nouget releases. He wants to stick to Marshmallow though.
So if anyone has experience flashing on this phone, have you found any super stable marshmallow roms?
Thanks

Either Fulmics ROM or cm 13
Cm 13 is stable enough to use as a daily driver. I have the cm 14.1 and it's running ever-so greatly

Alright, definitely going to look into them, thanks I've never used CM outside of snapshots though. Can you update nightlys from the phone, or do you have to keep flashing them in recovery? 14.1 sounds appealing, haven't run into any massive bugs or problems with it..?

Yes, you can download the nightlies from the phone. Cm 14.1 doesn't have much bugs, but I'd recommend waiting a few weeks, as these are the first builds being released. So, you won't see the Theme engine yet, for example. But every other feature is working very well. But cm13 is way more stable and close to perfection, so wait using the 13 version and keep checking out the cm14 changelog to see what has changed.

Most stable ROM

Hello guys.
Could you please suggest me the most stable ROM (your opinion) for my GALAXY NEXUS i9250 ?
I am not interesting in latest Android features I am interesting in stability.
Thanks !
Unlegacy Aosp KitKat 4.4.4 with kernel 1gb is speed and estable.
I've tried android 6 and 7, and for me android 5.1 (CM12.1) is the best blend of stability and newness. Things multitask well, and I don't get video crashes. Unfortunately it's not being updated anymore, and I don't know if or when the newer releases will be as stable. But for now, it's new enough, because the last build I've found is not even a year old yet!
i think the slimrom 6 is my choice because it's stable but when install too many app it will lag again.

Hello, sorry to bother you. Does anyone have a download link please? In the CM thread the links are dead unfortunately. Thanks.
same here.. any working links for the latest CM 5.1 ?
LOS 14.1 works stable for me. You just need to turn off the system animations.
