You`ll have to flash it via fastboot, as it is described in the OP :)

Initial installation

Extract the archive (unzip pabx_aosp_yuga*.zip)

adb reboot-bootloader

(Note: This will WIPE your phone) Run: fastboot flash boot boot.img ; fastboot flash system system.img ; fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot reboot

Edit @ the OP: Your gapps package is not available through your link. I got the 404 error

Edit 2: And it doesn`t wipe the data partition, so you`ll have to go to the recovery and format /data before you install the rom via fastboot. Otherwise your clock and some other apps force-close.

->That worked for me :)

Edit 3: The camera only shoots pics at 5MP. There`s a lot to improve though :)
[Xperia Z General] sirizak:
MHL HDMI?

Anyone had a chance to test HDMI output via MHL USB cable?
[Xperia Z General] OCmylife:
I`ve converted the gapps package from codeworkx(19.04) to tar.gz and upload it on dev-host, so you won`t have to convert it yourself:

Grab it here:

Doesn`t work so I removed the link.

and install it like it`s described here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42093150&postcount=6

I will report back, if it works for me guys :)
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
The previous version didnt have working OMX - this caused issues with youtube.

OMX is working in v1.0 and therefore youtube works just fine.
[Xperia Z General] OCmylife:
Do you know why your gapps link doesn`t work?

http://android.eqmx.net/android/xperia/gapps.yuga.tgz

Forget about it. Now it does work :)
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
The file was still uploading - took somewhat longer than expected.

And people: PLEASE use `gapps.yuga.tgz' - do not install any 'modified' gapps package - there is just no point in installing a more recent version: The play store will update everything on its own anyway.
[Xperia Z General] Thraxzzz:
Nice update! ;)
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
Version 1.1 has been uploaded with encryption support + volume rocker configuration option.

If you are upgrading: ONLY flash boot.img and system.img - You must NOT flash userdata.img for an upgrade.

Also make sure that the gapps.yuga.tgz file is still on /sdcard
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
Version 1.2 has been uploaded:

This version uses the (leaked) 4.2.2 blobs for hwcomposer + camera - all other blobs are from the official sony-v3 blobs package.

All hardware should be working in this version and it seems to be pretty fast + stable so far.

Edit - Version 1.2 didn't last long :) .. i already uploaded 1.3: This build adds new settings to the stock camera and fixes a silly qc-fqd bug. D'oh!
[Xperia Z General] Gregor250385:
Great and fast ,but no email apk? I can't find it :(
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
AOSP doesn't build the e-mail client by default. I could add it but do you *really* want the stock e-mail client?

After installing gapps you'll get googles gmail client or/and you could install one of the much better alternatives such as k9 mail.
[Xperia Z General] Carceri:
Yes I just did. It works fine.
[Xperia Z General] Gregor250385:
I just installed one from 4.2.2 dumps, it works fine :thumbup:
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
I just updated the device config to include Email.apk: It will be included in the next release.

Btw: I'm currently working on improving the standby-time: I'm now down to ~0.6%/hour.

Could someone running Stock (or CM) tell me how many %/h they lose during deepsleep?
[Xperia Z General] adamsweeting:
[MENTION=3911109]pabx[/MENTION]

I'm running stock 4.2.2 (DooMLordD's leak) - I loose about 0.5% of battery during deepsleep.

I'm really thinking about flashing this ROM, how is your deepsleep implementation working? How much battery are you losing during deepsleep?
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
Ok, so it's about the same.

I didn't really implement anything yet: i'm still measuring the power-drain without modifications, but i'm thinking about implementing some sort of stamina-mode
[Xperia Z General] adamsweeting:
Good to hear.... Think I'll flash this today then
[Xperia Z General] OsiBasi:
Looks great!
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
The deepsleep-powerdrain is actually much better than expected: I wonder if there is much to optimize ;)

I get now about 0.3/h, so that would be a standby time of 333 hours:

But i'll probably do some PVS-Table (CPU voltage) tuning in the next release: My CPU identifies itself as PVS_NOMINAL, but the phone runs stable with PVS_FAST (and even PVS_FASTER) tables.

My guess is that Sony (or qcomm) was just very cautious and that making NOMINAL CPUs use the FAST PVS table should be perfectly fine (while reducing heat & battery usage)
[Xperia Z General] rohit25:
hi,

just 1 question though... just downloaded the rom... wanted to know how the camera(when compared to stock) is like... would be flashing it when i reach home...

thanks
[Xperia Z General] SleemLDJ:
Hi guys. I am new to XZ and I'm also coming from CM.

Just want to be clear if this ROM is a 100% AOSP without a slice of CM in it at all.

Right?
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Right!

CM giving you issues?:D
[Xperia Z General] FateNozomi:
Sorry to bother =/ but Is there a way to get twrp working on this rom? I kept getting this http://puu.sh/51TtL.png
[Xperia Z General] alex3305:
AFAIK the Sony Xperia Z doesn't have a seperate recovery partition, it is all integrated into the boot partition.
[Xperia Z General] FateNozomi:
Thanks for the reply. So, any idea how can I get twrp? or which partition do i flash it to?
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
As already explained: The Xperia Z does not have a recovery partition.

If you really need TWRP you'd have to rebuild boot.img and inject an cpio archive there.

But i still do not understand why people are so obsessed with recovery-images: Everything that can be done in a recovery can be done via fastboot & adb in a much simpler way.
[Xperia Z General] heorung:
IMO,it's simple for your developer guys , not for a normal user. Beside that i dont want to plug the phone to my PC just for backup or restore cause i'm not near my PC all the time.
[Xperia Z General] FateNozomi:
Alright >.<, thanks for the advice, I'll just stick to what I already have.
[Xperia Z General] Upy3r:
I think we all like to flash "something" from The bed, instead of get up, go to the pc.. Its ok to say u dont like recovery, but in fact is The most easy way, to do everything..

Does anyone have a vídeo of this ROM? A mean a test vídeo? The screen dpi is right?
[Xperia Z General] snark_be:
Hi,

I installed this version and the gapps without problems :good: . Now I'm trying to get root and to do so, I tried to access recovery to install a SuperSU ZIP file, without success.

How can the install of a ZIP file be done via fastboot or adb? Both are working fine for me.
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
You can access the builtin CWM recovery by pressing the volume up (or down) button while the LED shows a white light during the boot process
[Xperia Z General] domicq:
What about android 4.4? :D
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
Already working on it. But asking for it on XDA just a few hours after the source has been released won't make things go faster.
[Xperia Z General] demon434:
Nice to see that 4.4 already in production is for our Z. Hope we will be one of the first phones to rock 4.4 aosp.
[Xperia Z General] domicq:
Sorry, i'm just excited from that. :)
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
Ok, i got 4.4 booting.

Current status:

Wifi and Radio are working

Camera and OMX seems to be OK

Sound is broken (need to re-port my patch)

BT and NFC are probably also fine

Fails to mount the sdcard (probably google changed this AGAIN)

4.3 gapps is horribly broken (keyboard crashes, setup wizard fails (missing permission))

My source tree is currently a mess and oh - hexediting binary-blobs to get them working on 4.4 isn't fun (but it works ;) )
[Xperia Z General] XeKToReX:

I uploaded the first build based on Android 4.4 (v3.0):

​

It seems to be running OK, but there are a few quirks:

The Calendar sync seems to have issues with my gapps package. Looks like deleting the AOSP (!) Calendar package & rebooting makes things work OK. (Note: This issue also causes 'Sync Error' messages in the account view)

I'm not sure if the sdcard works 100% stable - getting it to work required quite some time but it seems to be OK in my latest build.

I dont think its dead: ive seen the same on my device a few times: the sony bootloader does sometimes freak out:

Charge it for about 1h, unplug the charger and press Power+Vol-up until the led turns blue. After this you can connect it via usb and run fastboot reboot
[Xperia Z General] FCB-Fan:

[Xperia Z General] fards:
Great job!

not seen a calendar crash, but I pushed the files to system/app, wonder if that has an effect?

While pabx rebuilds for 3.1 you can just drop a recent sensors.default.so into system/lib/hw

Attached is the one from .74 stock rom which works here on quick testing, unzip and replace the original.

I spent a while trying to work out why photosphere with the lastest camera app from the n5 wasn't playing nicely, lack of gyroscope :D

I have my adb files in my C drive.

I placed the gapps package in c as well and ran:

C:\>adb reboot

Can someone please guide me on how to get root access?

NVM Solved, install this zip from Chainfire:

[Xperia Z General] FingerMove:
It's also possible to use it from another location:

adb push "F:\Downloads\gapps_44_yuga_1.tgz" /sdcard/

would also be possible. Just shift + right click on the file and copy as path, easy as that.

reboot to fastboot mode and flash 3.0 boot.img,reboot.

edit:the boot.img in 3.0zip including recovery, just flash it and reboot to recovery root.zip.
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
I don't know how often i have to repeat myself: The boot.img included in the ZIP already includes a recovery.

There is no need to flash random kernels/boot.img's from the internet tubes to your phone.

?! No: It's acutally pretty good: Getting 4h screen-on time is easy and the phone consumes about 2%/h in deep-sleep (~50 hours standby)

If someone sends me a clean kernel patch: yes. (fun fact: the kernel already does undervolting for 'PVS_NOMINAL' CPUs)

not sure,,, but doesnt it make problems with titanium backup ??
[Xperia Z General] pabx:
Remember that Nexus-Stock != AOSP.

Nexus devices have some features not present in AOSP, this seems to be one of them.

But it shouldn't be that hard to patch it into the AOSP Lockscreen - i'll have a look at it next week (if i'm bored)

In this case Titanium Backup would have issues on ANY 4.4 device.

[Xperia Z General] snark_be:
You probably have an old version of adb. You need version 1.0.31 or more. They encrypted the connection with the smartphone, hence older versions of adb cannot work.

[Xperia Z General] snark_be:
It comes with the latest Android SDK. Update to the latest version with the SDK Manager.
[Xperia Z General] -WP7User-:
Oh, okay, sounds great, sorry for asking ;) Just read from some other users that battery drain is quite high, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks for the clarification =)

Yup, from what I know, your phone has to be running and booted into the system to be able to push the gapps package via adb (also, USB debugging has to be turned on). Plus, if this was your first flash of this rom and you flashed the userdata partition, everything on the internal SD card is gone and the GApps package won't be there anymore, too. I just flashed the whole rom, booted it up, enabled USB debugging, pushed the GApps package to the phone (might take some time) and rebooted it. Everything works like a charm now =)

--

I just flashed this rom (as this was the first time using this rom, I flashed the userdata partition, too) and everything went well. Until now, everything works as it should and I'm quite impressed that everything works and runs this smooth - I really love it! Thanks a lot to pabx for this rom and all the work and time he invested bringing us KitKat nearly bug-free to our Xperia Z!

Is it much work to patch quick setting tiles?

Sony's notification pane toggles allowed me to quickly toggle GPS on and off where the corresponding toggle in AOSP sends you to the settings screen. Could this be changed in this ROM or does this go too far already?
