[Xperia Z2 General] Brandon Nel:
The Sony Xperia Play was one of the best Sony Xperia phones that Sony has ever made. Not only did it have an awesome gaming Keypad for a great media and entertainment experience, but it also had pretty impressive specs with really good speakers, camera, and most of all, UI & Software. Now you can relive that Awesome and retro software that the Xperia Play had on your Sony Xperia Z2.

Introducing the XPlayNeoZ2+ MINI ROM.

This is a new and awesome MINI ROM made for the Sony Xperia Z2. If your running Marshmallow on your Z2, then your all good to go!

What is a 'MINI ROM?'

A MINI ROM is basically a new type of ROM that is small in size, however you don't need to reset everything or anything in your device. Since this MINI ROM adds to your phone's experience, without taking anything away from it. So it's sort of like a tweaks MOD, but with much, much more features.

What features does this MINI ROM bring?

Pretty much most features from our beloved Xperia Play! Sadly some of our favourite Apps such as the Game Launcher won't work at the moment but in the future, I will try my best to port these apps that aren't working at the moment. The features that are working however are...

-Xperia Play Gallery

-Xperia Play Music Player

-Xperia Play Cosmic Live Wallpaper

-Xperia Play Camera

-Xperia Play Themed Nova Launcher Home Screen

-Sony 'Make, Believe' Boot Animation by [MENTION=5207956]Nidhal AKA the king[/MENTION]

-Xperia Play Clock & Alarms

-Xperia Play Wallpapers

-Xperia Play Sounds & Ringtones AND Xperia Play Sound MOD w/ Beats™ Audio App Sound Tweaker.

-Latest Busybox pre-installed

-Some more tweaking Apps such as Root Explorer MOD EDIT removed, rule 6 and a CPU Tuner included.

How to install?

1: Download the Zip file from down below.

2: Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache. DON'T Wipe your Data or System or anything else. (score!)

3: Reboot normally. (First Boot may take a while!)

4: Set Nova Launcher as default Launcher in Settings, then go to the Nova Launcher Settings->Backup & Import->Restore->Select Xperia Play.

Yeah, you read that right above. You WON'T lose any data whatsoever when flashing this ROM! :) (Again, this may change in the future but for now, it's not necessary.)

UPDATES FOR THIS MINI ROM HAS STOPPED FOR SOME REASONS.

I'm currently busy on more important, and definitely more exciting projects for the Xperia Z2, such as an Android N ROM and a Sony Xperia X ROM For the Z2. (Already released.) Plus it seems like This MINI ROM is sortof a mixed bag of opinions. Some love it, others hate it. It sort of reflects as what you think of the 2011 Sony Xperia UI. Anyway, cheers! :)
