I use the Spain one as I'm in UK, but I think the only differnce would be systems apps already pre-installed, the features and everything else should remain the same on any generic 4.2.2 firmware for XZ. Correct me if I'm wrong :)
[Xperia Z General] Ambroos:
All Generic versions are almost the same, the only difference are very small things (like LTE or 4G icon, NFC icon, ...). And some bloatware, but you can remove all of it. The Spanish one has a lot of bloat though.
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
LOL! That's not a "problem". Sony just disables it by purpose in some customizations. Most people have NFC switched on permanently (since it uses almost no battery power), so they don't want to have a useless NFC icon in their status bar all the time. I don't know why they still enable it in some customizations. Check build.prop (I even attached it in post #1) and you'll see 'ro.nfc.icon.enable=false'.
[Xperia Z General] nikc0069:

There is a way for me to know which version is it?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
If you need to ask that, then the answer is no ;)

[Xperia Z General] Mo7mD.ZaYOnA:
any .ftf for c6602 ?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
A lot of "bloat"? It's the only customization I saw (up to now) that contains OfficeSuite Pro, which costs $14.99 in Play Store. The other customizations I tried only contain the free OfficeSuite Viewer, so I wouldn't call that "bloat" :D

And for the McAfee lovers, it contains a 12 month license, instead of the 7 days trial.

ROM works great and I like the new JB-style alot but I've got a minor issue which annoys me. Everytime I restart the phone (or switch the setting manually for that matter) I get a notification about my data connection being turned on or off.

Can anybody reproduce this and more important: does anyone know how to turn it off? Everything is stock, C6603, no root, LB. I already tried to long-press the notification and go to 'App-info' but that gets me to 'phone' where all options are greyed out.

Thanks in advance!

For me it says i have 7 days Trial on Office Suite Pro ^^ Mx Affe? Already deinstalled that xD

Same Problem here! I also have Data Notification.
[Xperia Z General] silencer51:
Yeah I get that notification too. Not truly annoying, though it would be great if we could turn it off.

This firmware works great so far. Was on 1270-7298 (Central European 1) .253 firmware, changed localization in build.prop and updated via PCC.

The only weird thing is that the latest version of PC Companion now detects my phone as C6602 instead of C6603 (Obviously I have the 6603 firmware).

Changing the customisation number or flashing via ftf or something third?
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Beta 6 is outdated. Download and install Flashtool v0.9.11.0. If it still doesn't work, try reinstalling Flashmode drivers (run C:\Flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe).

Well... not everything. Is the camera widget working for you? I mean the lockscreen widget, for me it shows like the camera icon loading but then stop and nothing happen... stay in the "widget" window and have to lock and unlock the phone again...

My kernel still 3.4, is right !???
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Both. Changing your customization number and updating with Sony PC Companion will preserve apps and data.

Flashing the FTF with Flashtool also preserves data if you untick DATA and CACHE under Wipe.

Finally! Now it as smooth as my sister ZL which base on same firmware as well.

The smoothness is back, not like previous leak .407 which not so smooth.

Camera quality is back! Superior Auto is working fine!

Too dark area, is better use SCN - Night Portrait.

Camera quality is outstanding, by far the best I ever seen

sorry ahead of time for the rambling and wall of text.

i have a few questions i suppose. im currently running the latest 4.1.2 release on my razr. stock. i went through 2 phones recently because the update was wreacking havoc on them. before the update i loved my razr. only issue i had was battery life, but i cant lie, was my fault for playing battery hogging games ALOT. lol. so, i got my latest replacement phone. i have the same apps as before, minus a few ive ditched. the phone is feeling laggy/sluggish now. it may partly be from tsf shell, which i love but would ditch if need be to get my phone back, even though it never caused lag before the update.

From reading around the razr isnt getting another update antime soon, if at all. its pretty much on its last leg, as theyre moving away from it im sure. ive tried numerous things to get it running a bit smoother and its helped to an extent, but there is still some lag.

my question is, whats the best way to go from here to getting it running better. ive been rooted before and tried different custom roms, so im not against it, if thats the way to go. if it is, what custom rom is best? if there isnt a 'best' which would you recommend i try? i guess a 4.2.2 rom will probly be suggested. what are the major differences in the 2?

thanks for any opinions and advice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] misterk267:
If it is running slow, you could always use an app like is monitor to see if an app has gone rogue and is using up lots of ram or CPU. I doubt its tsf, as I used that for a very long time on mine without issues.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sgt.7Eleven:
Here ya go!

Hey there!

First off, for the lagging problem, I'm positive that your phone probably needs to be cleaned up. The stock JB that you currently have is supposed to be the most stable one there is.

For cleaning up, just get SD Maid, and clean up using all the options available.

WAIT! Can I get one thing straight? You did do a factory reset before upgrading to JB 4.1.1 from ICS, right?

A LOT of problems sprout from this simple fact actually. A factory reset is mandatory when upgrading from one kernel and ROM to another, be it stock or not.

In Custom ROMs, we tend to always encourage full wipes before flashing one ROM over another unless we are only doing a minor, from let's say, Liquidsmooth v2.4 to v2.7. Then, only the cache and dalvik has to be wiped.

Yep. Hope this helped. If the answer to my above question is no (you didn't full wipe), the nI would just recommend you to use TiB, backup all your apps and data, then factory reset and then restore using TiB. That should help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] deafspeaker:
replying

the phone im talking about came from the manufacturer by verizon with 4.1.2 on it, so im not sure if it was upgraded that way.

if i have to factory reset, whats the vest way of saving game data so i dont have to start all over?

im currently not rooted. will root if its needed.

thanks for the previous info.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sgt.7Eleven:
Hmmm. A sticky situation, TBH.

Maybe you can try rooting and then this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm

But I haven't quite got experience working with RAZRs which came with 4.1.1 installed..

So try out the app after rooting, and if that doesnt help, factory reset. Backup your apps and their data using Titanium Backup which is available for rooted phones.

If even after that things are laggy, then i suggest getting Liquidsmooth or MoKee Rom. They are pretty fast and lagless.
