Nace, 15 May 2017I just installed LineageOS 14.1 ...
Dear god, this is now a brand new phone, fast and smoot... moreHello Nace,
Where did u get the Os for this phone?
Could you please share with me the procedure in details or even a relatable link that helped you install the custom rom? I have the same phone rooted of course, with some magic from build.prop commands and apps that help the phone stand on its feet (Xposed for instance). What about custom recovery or kernel software, any details ot problems occured?
Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it :) .

I just installed LineageOS 14.1 ...
Dear god, this is now a brand new phone, fast and smooth. It runs Android 7.1.2
Custom ROMs are the cure for all devices forgotten by the manufacturers. Sony gave up on this phone waaaay too soon. Good thing there is a community of people who give life to these devices.
I agree that this is the worst phone ever if you use the HORRIBLE stock Sony software/ROM. BUT, if you are into computers, learn how to install custom roms, and get Resurrection Remix. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/resurrection-remix-5-0-2-lollipop-lbl-t3170211
Be careful though, don't rush things or you can brick the phone. BUT, if you do it nicely the phone will become a new phone. A pretty good one. With Resurrection Remix (runs on Lollipop) I only noticed that Facebook and Chrome lag a lot, BUT with Facebook Lite and the default phone browser it works super fast, and trust me you are not losing anything by using these two instead.
This is actually my old phone, I never thought I will be able to use it for daily use again, but it looks like I can start again.
Custom ROMs are awesome, just be careful which one you choose, there are many which are full with bugs, so make sure to read the comments before you decide to get one from the XDA forums.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to unlock the bootloader if it is possible on your device.
Peace.

This is very bad phone.It performance very slow and frezees.And Battery very bad
I bought an Speria XP in March 2015, a few months later it started to became laggy, slow and bad performance, I even flashed the ROM and avoided updates, but it got even worse (started to freeze and restart once per day).
Far from what Sony wants this product to be, my next one will definitely be a non-Sony!

K.Sey, 16 Dec 2016I am extremely disappointed with this phone. Bought one in 2015 and 6 months after it started ... moreFlash a custom ROM and change the battery. SP shoudn't be that bad (and laggy).
I am extremely disappointed with this phone. Bought one in 2015 and 6 months after it started lagging thus would shut down by itself. I found myself resetting the phone at least once a month lo reduce the issue. Less than a year after I couldn't get cellular network and it wouldn't charge as well. The battery run out and it never came back on. I tried getting it fixed in the shop I bought it and nothing could be done , I got charged $13 for diagnostic. NOTE: In my country guarantee for phones is 6 months only. Phone is still in immaculate condition it never fell or anything.
Do i need to install software update? Pls help tnx
