What is XOSP?
XOSP is an after-market firmware based on CodeAuroraSources (CAF) destinated for a wide range of Android phones. The name stands for the Xperia Open Source Project and the project was initially created by @nilac for the Galaxy S+ (his old device) years ago when back then the ROM was called S+ Reborn. The vision was to create a minimal bloat free ROM which included Sony Xperia specific apps and various tweaks users would expect from a custom ROM.S+ Reborn became a success and was eventually ported to different devices so from there it was rebranded to XOSP. Calin worked on the project for 2 years always trying to improve it. Eventually, Because of the fact Lollipop was buggy on his Galaxy S+, he decided to take a break from development until he got his hands on the Zenfone 2 in 2015 and from then he started again the development of XOSP and continued it ever since.

Recovery Installation :
Warning #
Make sure Your bootloader is in Unlocked status and backup your DRM keys...
TWRP Installation: 
Notes About Sony Devices:
The Xperia devices have a recovery-in-boot arrangement. This means that the recovery is booted using the regular kernel / boot image in the device. Team Win has worked with the FreeXperia device maintainers to come up with a way to extract the ramdisk from the FOTAKernel partition and use the ramdisk from that partition instead of the recovery that is included in the boot image of your device. This means that if you install current CM nightlies and flash TWRP to the FOTAKernel partition, you will be able to use TWRP instead of the CWM or CM recovery that normally comes in a CM boot image. Other boot images including stock kernels can be repacked to include this extraction utility to allow you to use TWRP from the FOTAKernel partition. This setup allows you to choose what recovery you want to have installed and allows you to update your recovery more easily. Unfortunately this setup requires that the boot image that you have installed include the ramdisk extraction utility. The source for this utility is here:
https://github.com/Dees-Troy/extractelframdisk
This setup means that you must have a kernel or boot image installed that will use the FOTAKernel method. This utility is designed to work in conjunction with the current methods that most AOSP ROMs, like OmniROM or CyanogenMod, will support. Some rare stock kernels may also support the FOTAKernel method.
What does all this mean? It means that TWRP may not work on your device unless you install other custom software as well. Check with your ROM developer to see what they support.

#####AOSP 6.0.1 BUILD DEVELOPMENT Instructions #########
For some of the Xperia™ devices, we provide Android™ Open Source Project (AOSP) device configurations on GitHub. This means that the software will be open for you as a developer to use and contribute to. This is a way for us to support the open Android community, and it is also a tool for us to facilitate and verify contributions to AOSP.
Build AOSP Marshmallow 6.0.1
1.
Prepare your Java environment
To prevent errors generated by having the wrong version of Java installed on your computer, we will start by removing any conflicting Java version and adding the correct version. Java 7 is needed to build Android 6.x.x.
On your computer: In a terminal window, enter the following command:
sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\* icedtea-\* icedtea6-\*
A guide will appear on the screen. Follow the instructions to remove Java.
Once Java is removed, install the correct version of Java by entering the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk java -version
You should now see something similar to the following in your terminal window:
java version "1.7.0_65" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.5.3) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)
Next
2.
Install the necessary tools to make an Android build
To be able to build the images that you will later flash on your device, you need to install a set of software packages and libraries which give you the tools to compile source code into binary files that can run on your device.
In a terminal window, enter the following commands, all at once:
sudo apt-get install bison g++-multilib git gperf libxml2-utils make zlib1g-dev:i386 zip
Now you have the tools you need to compile and build a flashable AOSP image. Follow the steps below to learn how to do this.
Next
3.
Download Repo tool and set PATHIn order to access and use the source code available on the Sonyxperiadev GitHub, you need to install the Repo tool that is provided by Google.
In a terminal window, enter the following commands to download and install Repo, and set the right access rules for it:
mkdir ~/bin curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
Open the bashrc file included in the repo tool:
sudo nano ~/.bashrc
To set the right path for your local bin folder, paste the following code to a new line at the very bottom of the bashrc file, and then save the file using Ctrl+X:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Reload bash variables to include the new path:
source ~/.bashrc
Now you have all the tools you need and can move on to initializing the AOSP code and Xperia device configurations. Learn how to do this below!
Next
4
Initialise the AOSP tree
The next step is to create a folder on your computer, and then download the Android source code to it. Follow the steps below to do this.
In a terminal window, enter the following commands:
mkdir ~/android cd ~/android repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-6.0.1_r81
Note: The downloaded data is around 20 GB, and for a successful build you need 100 GB free hard disk space. Depending on your Internet connection, it can take quite a long time to download the source code. When the download has finished you have the basic AOSP source code on your computer.
Clone the local_manifests from GitHub using the following commands:
cd .repo git clone https://github.com/sonyxperiadev/local_manifests cd local_manifests git checkout m-mr1 cd ../..
Note: These repos include a precompiled kernel. If you want to change or improve the kernel, you can recompile a new kernel. The new kernel binary should be placed in the corresponding device repository along with new kernel modules for wireless hardware. For more information, see the page how to rebuild kernels for Xperia devices.
To download the code into the device repos created above, run the command:
repo sync
Next two steps are only for the following devices:
Xperia Tablet Z
Xperia ZL
Xperia Z
Xperia Z
Xperia E4 DUAL
Xperia E4
Xperia Z2
