The Sony Xperia Z2’s system dump was leaked over the weekend, which meant that developers were free to try and extract some of the phones best features. Well it has only been a few days and pretty much all of the key features have already been ported.
Rather than spam the blog, with every new Xperia Z2 port, we have rounded them all up in one post below. You will find a quick summary below and links to XDA, from where you’ll find more information and the download links too. In almost all cases you’ll need to have a rooted phone if you want to try these mods.
