:)XPERIA XZ2 UI Rom v2.9.5 for Sony Xperia Z5 Compact

This version of the rom is an update of the original rom by Machao44. The updates are only minor and the problems that used to be in the previous versions still exist.

Only the new dialer port from XZ2 can be called a good update in this version.

Some of the cool options like Ambient display and its sub features still don't work as they should.
