Android 5.0 Lollipop is among us but yes, there are devices with the new version of official and others not, thanks mainly to the support of the developer community. Many users are looking forward to their terminals are upgraded to one of the most "sweet" versions of Android that are remembered but of course, patience has a limit while watching as many others already have Lollipop on your smartphone or tablet. One of the phablets which the company itself would end with this operating system is the Sony Xperia Z Ultra , although in reality it is not yet known when exactly will be available.

Luckily, fans of this giant 6.4-inch than just patients can now enjoy Android 5.0 Lollipop with a new ROM based on AOSP specially designed for the Xperia Z Ultra. Developed by the now famous XDA partners (in this particular occasion by Saatvik Shukla), this compilation has been made ​​possible by a firmware based on the Sony Xperia Z1 as it shares virtually the same hardware as the phablet.

To get to use Lollipop in the Xperia Z Ultra will need to have root access , a procedure that is also explained in the same thread where we find all the information about the ROM in two variants (on one side the normal version Xperia and secondly the Google Play Edition) version and installation. Being a beta version, it makes sense that some phone functions may not work quite well, and in this case one would expect. Almost everything is available except basic camera, GPS connectivity and video playback , although in the latter case, you can fix that if we use a player other than the original Android such as MX Player. As you see, it is a quite functional ROM and with which you can call seamlessly use our contacts and most applications, but we must bear in mind that installing a ROM that can affect the device warranty.

While there are a number of other bugs, they are not as "hot" as above. Gradually XDA guys are working to get these betas keep moving and ignore the bugs, so until Sony finally made the official announcement of the upgrade.
