Yeah I haven't been able to figure it out for months...
Your ROM is very similar to the modifications I've made on my own.. In order to accomplish what I really want to do, I think I need to build an AOSP ROM for this. Do you have any idea how to set up an AOSP device tree for this device, or care to lend a hand? I'm starting the research phase now, never really done this before, but I feel too held back by the stock Moto version of Android on here to and feel like I need to start over from scratch with a stock AOSP 2.3.7 base. Not sure if its worthwhile to try for a newer version of Android given the limited memory on this device..

your rom rocks OP, looking forward to updates.

I made running software a bit more complete than the one in the original ROM
I made a little software that can connect to HR and footpod which is a bit more complete than the one coming with the ROM,
take a look at : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1939854.
curently only footpod and HR are supported, but I'am testing a version which includes
for biking :Bike Speed-Cadence sensor .
for running:kinetics (internal accelerometer) so no footpod needed.
a csv usable in Sporttracks is generated

Any update on this rom t2k?

Version 2.0.1 released
Enjoy it!

Thanks for keeping this development alive.

so i flashed 2.1.1 and there is no play store and no home button on the dock any ideas?

Yes, the ROM always Force Close when gapps (Play Store, Talk) are installed. I have no time and no skill to fix it. I will try to add it back later. Now, please use adb to install apps.
For the home button on the dock issue, did you mean that the "All Applications" icon is missing on the right side of the launcher? if yes, please long press on home screen to add it back.

dprolidan released his aosp port of 2.3.4 with a github of the sources if it helps (just got my motoactv last week, saw the post about aosp and just making it known to anyone else who might not be aware)

Thanks for your information. From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28179638, dproldan said all google apps are working in their rom, I will try to integrate my stuffs based on that ROM in next release (better than fixing the issues by myself).

Any progress? I'm going to try and flash this ROM once I can figure out how to do it. Root tool works fine but Easy Modder doesn't work for me. Going to try Image Flasher V3.

****** UPDATE: Figured it out with a little trial and error.... Just flashed and will be trying it out..... THANKS!*****
OK, is there something I'm missing. Trying to put this ROM on my 16gb Motoactv. I can use root tool to root the device but the Motoactv Easy Modder doesn't seem to recognize the device. I can't change the buttons or boot into recovery to install this ROM, it just says waiting for device or path not correct (or something like that). I even tried the Motoactv Image Flasher, but it also didn't seem to recognize the Motoactv.
I have a 16GB Motoactv and running Windows 7 64-bit.
All I care about is using it For Runkeeper and connecting it to my phone for notifications. I don't care about the play store, as I find that using it as an android device, though it kinda off cool, is mostly of useless for me.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I guess there isn't much activity with this ROM anymore. I managed to get it installed but GPS would not get a lock at all. I just flashed the latest ClearDroid ROM then installed the modded Runkeeper apk from your site and now it's working and getting GPS locks.
Thank you so much for the Runkeeper_mod.apk, it's giving me what I wanted from my Motoactv. :good:

Does this ROM have the Motoactv Golf software built in still? Mine is Rooted, but I'm running the general 1.7.10 software....but I could really use to open it up a bit. I bought the watch primarily for Golf, I run a ton and do "Insanity." And it would be great if I could keep my Data Synced with my iPhone instead of the ACTV portal. If I use RunKeeper, I can keep it in both places. Would LOVE to have Notifications from my phone, go to the watch...but I don't think there is a real good way of doing so with an iPhone.

It been a while and I don't recall any Golf software. As I could not get a GPS lock I moved to the ClearDroid Motoactv ROM and installed the Moded RunKeeper APK that the RunKeeperACTV ROM uses. I've gone back to using my phone because I have a hard time getting it to sync with RunKeeper. I did get it to sync the first time I used it after repeated attempts. I kept getting slow connection notices. The last time I tried I don't think I ever got it to sync. I'll try again after updating to the latest ClearDroid ROM as I'm still running an older version.
Try a MotoActv ROM of you choice with the Moded Runkeeper (it's not the new runKeeper version, but works) and see how it works for you. This ROM, RunKeeperACTV, seem to not be active anymore so I would not recommend using it.

You lost me on step 5. How do I do this?
Thanks

New update today: Update 77

The new 460MB update is 77. I am wondering if the lag issues with emulators have been fixed. They are apparently allowing moving some apps to the sd card with the update. Curious if that also opens the door for sd card writes for other apps..... probably a big No.
Update: Apparently no improvement with emulators.

Just wait n see.....

The emulator issue is still there, but now do not think this is a Shield issue as much as an app design / Kitkat issue. The Nexus 7 has the same problem. As far as moving apps to SD, moving Asphalt 8, MC4 and Vice City moved only 200MB out of the 5.5GB from the three apps. Moving 4% hardly seems a value add.
Seems the devs will have to make changes to their apps. It is mainly the Broglia emulators. His are the best as far as features and much better than Retroarch as far as features and the ability to place apps in their own directories. Controls are native to Shield as well.
Hope the dev fixes them, since not looking good for an OS solution.
I will stick with 4.2. I added a 128GB card (needs to be formatted in FAT32) and have one serious emulator station. Scree is too small for me for PC gaming, so will do fine.

I'm on update 77 and rooted the shield without installing custom recoveries. Just root it with the git root method and switch governor to performance and Bam! All issues resolved.
I was pissed off enough after reading all the things Shield RAM does only to find that is utterly useless.
IMHO the clean method to gain root should be the only good thing to do since it's pretty straight forward and makes you able to receive and install OTAs.

is there a full flashable zip of the update available to download?
Or a flashable ZIP of the Stock firmware in general?

I don't have any emulator lag as far as I can see with my Shield even with the latest update (pairing still works)

Is there a way to go back to 4.2? Tired of the emulation lag and battery life is definitely worse on KitKat. I mostly play emulated games and some Android games - no PC streaming as I only have a 560 Ti
Sent using radio waves of some sort

still wondering what emulator lag people mean, so far I have no lags at all in emulators.
if you wanna go back to 4.2, download an older factory image and flash it.
You don't have to be a developer to download it, create an account at Nvidia gameworks and apply for the developer program.

Is there a way to m,anually install update 77

yeah, go to apps/all apps/scroll down to google services framework/ then force disable it/ then you go to about shield/ and check for the update

Tried doing that and it say, "Unfortunately, System updates has stopped"

Don't disable it, clear data. Then check system updates again. However, you must flash the stock recovery to actually install it, so look for ShieldRAM and use that to do so, install the update, then use ShieldRAM to flash a custom recovery and re-root. Done. Takes about 10-20 minutes but it's really easy.

Will this work on a Locked Bootloader??... i cant even update my damn phone via pc companion due to no usb 2.0 in my pc haha its saying i cant do it with a usb 3.0 port and so my last resort is to either wait for update via air or flash via FlashTool

Does this work for locked bootloaders?
Also, from which FTF did you create this?

Its just like installing a custom rom yet its not a custom rom just stock with pre root access. if you have rooted before and have twmp or philz touch whiz recovery just install it from the recovery option wiping Dalvik and Cache and then installing this zip then reboot system and you're good to go. shouldn't be hard follow some guides on youtube if you don't know.

what if i have never rooted before?? because ive got a locked bootloader with 100% stock rom and havent flashed any custom stuff... all i did was get the phone from vodafone and then i flashed the uk firmware (same as the one you have minus the root)

Well i downgraded mine back to kitkat then root you could try root from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/root-t3108230

i had to flash 17.1.A.2.55 then run the rootkit from doomlord and then flash your rom via recovery and then voilah xD... lets see how it goes as im just starting the process now
EDIT: installed wrong version haha

Nice work with the Flashable zip.
Apart from the inclusion of the 'clear all recents' button what else is improved upon, or not forgotten, in comparison to the earlier Lollipop updates?
My Z2 is still showing V 23.1.A.0.726 ready for downloading but so far I've resisted this so-called upgrade, its too half-baked. I'm still on KitKat until I get more feedback on this being a better attempt at an upgrade.
What are your impressions so far?

Well since ive been using it daily I found that the battery has been draining fast soon as I take it off charge its down to 98 percent already I have lollipop ? on my moto g doesn't drain this fast. I was getting issues with keyboard on z2. This seems to fix that bug. Haven't noticed any other changes so far just seems to be minor bug fixes.

thx for the zip
So, as I understand
move the zip to my sd card,
flash from recovery( my Z2 is 17.1.1.a.0.402 root with dual recovery) the zip and that is?????
nothing else?
Do I need flashtool or everything else?
i am asking bcause I saw other guides that said at the end to flash with flashtool the ftf fimware:
like step 11 at following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155

I've noticed when i was using the stock rom (1000000% uk stock with no extras) i could get around 3/4 days battery life which includes having the bluetooth on all day connected to my helmet and sbh52 and after i installed this im getting half that xD....

So the increased battery consumption is another reason to stay away from this. I get plenty of usage on KitKat, thats with BT and Wifi on nearly all of the time.
From all the negative aspects I've read about Lollipop on the Z2 it seems like its anything but an upgrade.

Current up to date ROMs include AOSP Nougat 7.1.1 (/w GApps)
I am happy to attempt other builds an versions if people will use them. I make these builds regularly for my own personal use, but through I would share the awesome work done by the Sony AOSP project team with the xda Z3 Compact community

Current issues on Nougat are camera quality is low, and video recording is non functioning. As far as I can test everything else seems to work very well. I am currently interested in the in call volume, as I am testing a simple fix for making it dynamic again.
Update
In call audio is still static, and their is still echo for the person on the other end of the line

Did you use the new camera blobs?

Yes, he uses the latest blobs, but camera blobs still have a looong way to be improved.

How about battery life ? I want to know while sleeping.
My z3c is 0.2-0.5%/h while device is sleeping on marshmallow rom (slimm rom).

How do you Install this? The zip contains a cpgz.

Flash through recovery. I am building 7.1 tonight for more testing. Battery life so far is more than a day for me, but will obviously vary depending on usage. I would suggest people suck it and see.

That should be a bug caused by the Google app. Just disable Google Now completely (the voice activated module, to be precise), and you should be fine. The same thing bugged me for days when I bought the phone...

I just installed, and in 30 minutes went from 85% battery to 20% , NFC kept toggling on and off by itself.
for me:
* nfc keeps toggling on and off
* camera keeps FC
* SD card unusable
* maybe its a new gesture or swipe but i cannot open the notification / quicksettings panels
mileage may vary!
thanks for doing this and i'll be checking the 7.1 build as well

After reinstalling things went a lot smoother:
Current problems I found in aosp_d5803-ota-eng.mcgi5sr2-N5D91L-20161127 :
* phone crashes and reboots during phone calls
* other person hears its own echo while calling or being called
* camera works seldom; really low quality and force closes a lot
* no flashlight (probably related to camera)
* sometimes phone will not enter in deep sleep due to a QC usb wakelock (battery life still 1 day )
* battery percentage sometimes drops at around 50% to 10 but recovers later to ~50%

Thanks for feedback for lkzy I'm glad the second flash had better results. Could you include what Rom you are using in your posts plz.

Downloaded, going to install today. I'll give some feedback tomorrow. What gapps package is included in AOSP?

Allright, just did,
also the phone crashes and reboots when I call someone after ~5 minutes.
For people updating from Lollipop, TWRP will restore your backup, but it will endlessly show boot-animation. I read in the dev-only kernel topic this might have something to do with a wrong filesystem of the appslog partition.. I do not know how to fix or change this though, so I'm now stuck on nougat as daily driver. it aint bad, but the calling crash kinda breaks the phone

So far works nice, I'm on aosp_d5803-ota-eng.mcgi5sr2-N5D91L-20161127
Camera is really low quality, but doesn't crash. Video recording and FM Radio don't work. There are some small animations lags sometimes. I haven't had any longer calls yet, but Phone works well. Not sure about sound quality.
Can I use standard TWRP and flash SuperSU on it?

The newest TWRP works fine, I'm using phhs superuser which works. Don't know about supersu, but I'm guessing it'll work just fine

Hi, thanks for the heads up. Can you confirm if themes work(navigation keys especially) properly on Nougat? Or any other missing features, thanks again.

Hi I am from India using xa ultra f3212.. I got the nougat update notification and tired to install.. But failed 3 times thro mobile data and 3 times thro Xperia companion.. All the times the whole update got downloaded as the internet is not an issue but while installing it stops and says could not install.. I see many reported this prob in fb but they say the issue is with weak internet but I have good connection. So what is the problem. Also I tired to root my device thro flastool and with few apks so my question is, are these things need to worried for my failed updating. But I didn't root my device as all the methods fail. Again a question, now can I use ftf file downloaded from xpiri firm and use flash tool to flash in my mob.. Mob is bootloader locked... Suggestions and advice please

Confirmation of receiving Nougat in Egypt. No FCs or any visible bugs till now.
On the other hand better fluidity in UI and better overall UX especially with the much better ram management, that keeps app in memory for a longer time compaed to 6.0.

Is there a way of forcing the update? I don't think my carrier cares about the updates.

first you need to hard reset your phone,go to settings-backup and reset-factory data reset....after your phone restart then search again for software update and download the update...now it should work

I did the factory reset but nothing is happening...now it says your already on the latest software....
I am not even getting the updated notification...

Is the update for F3215 available?
Also, my bootloader is locked and if the OTA is not available, can I sideload the update?

it is available mate.. I would suggest you should use flashtool in upgrading if you experience errors on other update method.. good luck

Thanks!
The update isn't region-specific right? I'm worried that it comes with its own baseband and won't work on my carrier.
Btw, does the flashtool update format the internal memory / does a factory reset?
Sorry, lots of questions, this is my first Sony android device.
TIA

The update is region dependent,and its better to use wifi when u search for software update because some careers dont allow high data to download and your phone will say you already have the latest update...and yes xperia flashtool will format your internal memory if you want just check Wipe --User Data

Thanks buddy!
Now, as for Wifi to download the firmware..mine says its up to date already, but obviously it isn't. Now, if I get one from Xperifirm specific to F3215, would it work perhaps? You see, my carrier don't care about updates.
EDIT: I forgot one important thing: mine's Bootloader Unlockable NO
Would it matter?

Well it seems that xperifirm deleted the nougat update from their server, maybe is something temporary, but there are already many sites who can provide you nougat for your Xperia, just Google it

Guess nougat is stopped for both xa and xa ultra by Sony temporarily.. so those who haven't updated needs to wait again .. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xa/how-to/sony-mobile-stop-android-7-0-nougat-t3624982

would there be a way to update from a rooted firmware and keep root when a stable 7.0 is released?
