Everybody needs Android 5.1.1 Lollipop ROM on their phone whether the manufacturer released it or not. If you are also in the list of them then don’t you worry about it because I came up with a solution for all the Sony Xperia Z users. The Reconstruction Remix custom ROM makers has made a ROM which is based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop OS for Sony Xperia Z devices. I will be the guide who will give you the instructions to install it on your phone. This process needs root, if you haven’t rooted your device yet, then do it from here.

There’s so much to do with a rooted Android, including overlocking the internals so you can crack better performance from the phone hardware. Moreover, you can install a custom recovery image which then allows you to install a custom ROM like we have here with the Resurrection Remix variant. You can also increase the internal memory, remove unwanted bloatware that’s slowing down your device, use more apps from Google Play and much more.

Resurrection Remix

Keep these things in mind:

  • First of all rooting or installing custom ROM on any device will void its warranty so better do it at your own risk.
  • Secondly it (installing custom ROM) will also wipes the data stored on your phone’s internal memory so better make a backup of it before installing.
  • Charge your phone to at least 50% of the battery so I will not go off during the installation process a sit may damage the device.
  • At last, do not try to install this ROM on any other Sony Xperia or Android variant as it will brick your phone.
