This is my opinion for lollipop:

-Performance: More smooth and fast compared to kitkat. Multitasking is much faster.

-Battery: with my use I do not see differences, i don't have problems with slow charge.

-Audio: worse, fortunately there are the mods. (thanks modders)

-Camera: They have worsened enough. Too much noise often with natural light, in low light it is much worse

I have 6 7 photos of the sunset, with stock kitkat, BlissPop-v2.1, miui v6, SlimLP and olthers roms. the worst are with stock lollipop, much noise.

Does anyone know any solution? i tested "open camera" already so you get better results

Summary of Lollipop

Thanks to Siddhesh, he's made an amazing work, the ROM is working perfectly. Root and Xposed are doing their work as well.

Some important points:

- the whole system is GOD DAMN FAST and smooth, sometimes even faster than my friends's Xperia Z3. Really amazing, everything is ~twice as fast as KitKat was.

- battery consumption is horrible. When G+ is uploading some stuff, I'm restoring things using TB and listening the music in the same while, the battery loses 1% per 3-4 minutes despite the phone is charging!

- Extreme overheating - doing the three things mentioned above the battery reaches 50°C while the CPU has 76°C! I'd not be able to put the phone on my ear if someone called me.

All the three points talk about a good (maybe even great) optimization and being able to use all the power the phone itself can give, but at the cost of short battery life.

Notwithstanding this, I'm enjoying the phone more than before. Once more Thank you to the uploader!

install app's problem

Hi

I installed stock lp rom. Now i waNt to install coc , whatsapp and some other program , but my phone does'nt know install file
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siddhesh Sapre:
Same problem is faced by everyone bro! The rom basically needs time to calibrate itself with the new battery stats and daalcik cache. As you know, Lollipop has many changes in system files and placements. So it will take time for the phone to get calibrated with lollipop. Wait and continue using your phone with this stock lollipop for another 4-5 days. You will notice the difference. And my advice, DO A FACTORY RESET from settings in phone once. And then use the rom for next 4-5 days. Gradually, phone will take much less time to charge and battery drain problem will be reduced by upto 70%. Remaining 30% battery drain is a Lollipop 5.0.2 bug, wait for Sony/ google/ devs to fix it....I think 5.1 will clear that too!

Hello.. I've upgraded from a rooted. 292 with Nut's dual recovery, wiped, flashed this zip and all its looking good. Thanks for sorting this out.

I have one issue. I don't seem to have LTE and from reading thread I'm confused as to whether it should or not. I get the impression it should so wondering if it is something I have done wrong during install.
