Sorry bro... but unfortunately I don´t recomend that method, once it mixes two distinct firmwares... it´s just a "workaround" ... try to follow OP install instructions, and to get wifi working, flash Extended Stock kernel after whole process!!
[Sony Xperia L] Mitsos_The_Great:
Bro when I released the version 2?
[Sony Xperia L] adhiefadillah99:
Hey serajr, how to port system ui docomo with notifbar option???
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Can i have little help?

Please tell me how you flash the kernel with Flashtool, because there in zip is one folder (meta-inf) and one file (Boot)....i am messing around from one week but i am not able to understand where to put that boot img ....is not like ftf to drop in firmware folder and then when you select flash to be able to pick.

Or maybe someone know a link with a ftf file kernel what have included recovery...i want to have recovery on my phone this is the reason i am messing around
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
is not as you say
[Sony Xperia L] Till-Kruspe:
Awesome bro [MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] !.Too bad I'm still using my old LWW...You're still the "King" to me... :D
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
Hello TK, I had a LWW and I was using your mods and serjar mods and sandy7 mods AND THEY WERE ALL GREAT, then I sold the lww and got the Xperia L, I am looking forward to get an Xperia L TK, so you can make mods for Xperia l like what was you doing with my LWW ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
Update:

Fixed a few graphical glitches and added new resources...
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Oh... here´s my childhood friend TK!!!

Nice to talk to you again!! For a long time I´ve refused to buy a new one too, but unfortunatelly my wife threw it through the window... :p kidding!! did u remember that? (My XL is about to be thrown through the window by her!! :D)

Keep in contact...
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Amazing!!!
[Sony Xperia L] amnher:
You are an amazing man. I was a fan of your clean 'n' tweaked for MDPI phones and now I am also a Xperia L user...
[Sony Xperia L] pjssilva:
Brazilian firmware?

The name of you stock ftf, c2104_15.0.a.2.17_generic_br.ftf, gives the impression that it is a Brazilian version.Is this right? I did not know that 2.17 was released in Brazil.
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
It is Generic US!
[Sony Xperia L] pjssilva:
Great, thanks for the info. Maybe you should rename it to reflect this?

Anyhow, thanks again.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Another question, should we exclude the baseband if we are in Brazil (or somewhere else but the US)?
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
Dude, its ok.. Don't exclude anything.. Just flash the ftf and have fun
[Sony Xperia L] adhiefadillah99:
hey serajr, i can't install this rom because i don't have recovery :(. please port recovery for locked booloader:good:
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
Serjar..you said that v2 will be ready in the weekend before.. Then where it is....I AM DIEING TO TRY IT!! :( :(
[Sony Xperia L] sandy7:
he said ...he might be busy with his personal life..u have to wait buddy...no need of urgency
[Sony Xperia L] getochkn:
First rule of XDA, no bugging for ETA's. Either wait until it done, or learn the skills and dev work to put out things on a timetable that suits you.
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
Not spamming again to say 'Dont ask for ETA' :p...But let him work...Evry one here works on hobby and not as someone's servent...and even no one pays him or anyone who works...(Donations are not in this)...So keep waiting sometime...
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
I am not asking for eta... But he said at the weekend it will be ready...
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
Still...he said...it can change anytime due to any small factor...And whatever u asked was an ETA so just leave it and wait for him to reply...
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
v2 Released...

Time to enjoy it!!! ;)

... and remember to take a look at whole OP to see its news, and read OP Changelog before ask!!

If you already have v1 or v1.1 installed, install only second install file!!

Have a nice week!!!!
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:

[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Few things what you must have clear on your minds...and a review of this rom

Hello all !

As far i see there is a confusion on Bootloader Locked and Bootloader Unlocked. few days ago (after over 2 weeks of messing around *reading , watching videos and trying* in the end i Unlock Bootloader, even in my previous tries i was thinking i did it but was`nt so)

"To Unlock Bootloader i ask one of the dev from here on PM which says

Flashing sin from ftf does not require bootloader unlocked unless using fast boot. Fast boot always will require an unlocked bootloader.

So may be the unlocking was not done properly.

Ganesh" ----> this is his answer at my question "How it is possible if i have Bootloader Unlocked to be able to flash FTF Kernels?"

...but because i have Bootloader Locked on Flashtool always i got this message when i try to flash a Boot.img file kernel

"14/055/2013 20:55:59 - INFO - Device connected in fastboot mode

Thanks in advance!

Bootloader is unlocked, and is rooted as well! (i was wrong, there Bootloader was Locked)

Bro... to get all features from my rom, you need to unlock your BL and follow all install instructions steps!!

v2 released...

after all this i follow the instructions on this link --->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2337955

Remeber :

I did this twice, because 1st time did`nt work and i did`nt know !

After all this i was able to flash the kernel from this post ----> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2419042 (but bare that in your mind "if you have Bootloader Locked yu will not have full features of that kernel, as CWM, Reboot option on power button and so on)

Now i have installed this rom (from last link i share here) and i am using Vengeace 1.36 kernel, it works everything till now.

This kernel you can find it here ----> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322726

All credits and thanks please give them to the developers from the links above, they help you....not me, is them work!

Special Thanks to all developers for them hard work.

The screenshots talk themselves

[Sony Xperia L] Droidlover123:
Can you tell me method to increase font size in status bar a bit??
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Thanks everybody for all your feedback... you´re all amazing!! :good:

And to be a perfect week... [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] had fixed wifi issue on its awesome Vegeance kernel... so go there and give him a lot of Thanks... :beer:
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
Vengeance 1.40 is ready?

i mean it will work wi-fi if i flash 1.40 ?
[Sony Xperia L] damian01211:
Yes, Here is the link for the test kernel and modules which allowed to use wifi. http://d-h.st/users/rachit.rc96/?fld_id=23643#files

[MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION] would you rom work if I flash it in CWM without doing wipe data ?
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
I think so, but ensure your current firmware is .17, and also, after that, if u face some fc I think a full wipe and a full install is needed... Tell me later!!!
[Sony Xperia L] kazabubu:
Same here:crying:

e.g:reflashed rom and till now works like charm...

Thank you serajr...

Thank you very much!!!
[Sony Xperia L] skad00sh:
Vengeance(test) + C n T perfectly working!

No bugs or nothing!

I only noticed that any hardware key after pressing giving slight delay compare to Stock Extended v2

e.g. If you press button to unlock, gives slight delay.

Any one noticed?
[Sony Xperia L] Hellspawm:
For me works like a charm...maybe you must flash again, like a fresh install rom with the steps to wipe data and cache....or try to wipe only cache and see if there is any change.

My way to update ....1 i flash the kernel (flashtool), 2 i reboot in system, 3 i turn off the phone and 5 i turn on entering in CWM manualy then 6 i flash modules.zip and 7 reboot phone from CWM option...and all is done, no delay and wi-fi work. ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Kiicek:
Is there this internal-memory-stuffing issue present in this ROM? I don't know if there is sense in flashing it for me if the problem is still there...
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
I flashed the first zip on my phone , then started my phone .. everything works normal , now its time for the second zip ,, when i start my phone after flashing 2nd zip , my systemui disappears and the navigation bar disappears ,, systemui keeps FC ,, what did i do wrong ? ,, :(

PS : I wiped everything except system and followed instructions carefully ;) / Extended stock kernel V3 ..
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Extended Stock Kernel v3 by [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] with CWM released!

Time to go there and give him a lot of thanks!!!

Tested and working like a charm...
[Sony Xperia L] kazabubu:
Faced same problem...

Reflashed both v1 and v2 and now works...(after one or two system UI FCs)
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
what what ,, didnt understand :D ,, so when you got this problem , you went to recovery and flashed v1 then directly v2 without wipeing ?? or,, look just give me instructions :D
[Sony Xperia L] kazabubu:
Wipe everything and installed v1...

Reboot...

Turn off...

Manually entered cwm installed v2...

Reboot...

Done:)

Will there be this version sysUi for ICS. I use honami UI from erorcun. :)
[Sony Xperia L] sandy7:
no i think...ill port this to ICS by next week..
[Sony Xperia L] djedjy:
Bro maybe you can post tutorial, like your fw tuts :)
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Not wanting to discourage you, but already doing it... I´ve written Power Toggles from scratch, and all its java codes were based on Android API Level 16 (4.1.2), so I can´t guarantee that Power Toggles will work properly over ICS without some fixes and/or functions substitutions (smali stuff). That will be tough for sure... but possible!!
[Sony Xperia L] Svartehjerte:
Wow, thanks!

but... there's no link to download your sysUI... do i have to extract it from your ROM zip?

and doing just what you say in 4th post will only install the sysUI, but all of its settings will not be accesible (cause we also must mod settings.apk)... am i wrong?
[Sony Xperia L] phanixtrix:
What V2 has problem/bug or issues, like wifi not work or something else?
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Bro.. I´m afraid of it will not work on locked BL cuz I´ve changed its manifest file, and I think you´ll get bootloop!!! Unfortunatelly best choice is to unlock our BL and flash rom files!!

No... wifi always worked on stock kernel!
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
Yes...now extended stock v3 has cwm and test version of vegeance for 2.17 is out and has been reported to work perfectly including wifi...So we gotta change the installation procedure now :p
[Sony Xperia L] Svartehjerte:
S**t... I can't unlock my BL... I'll never have this

I found that when i was trying Fresh install (flashing and wipe 2.17) and go for ROM V1 to V2

the nav bar and status bar gone

system UI is stopped :/

waiting for normal but still the same no nav bar and status bar

so I back to V1.1
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
same here

Am on Sock kernel v3 and followed all the instructions 4 times but didn't work ? :confused:

System UI Fc's Every time :(
[Sony Xperia L] Kiicek:
I'm asking again.

Is there this memory bug that many people experience with Xperia L? The problem is that when you open Walkman or Spotify app each time they take around 25MB of internal memory and you can't get it back. The result is that your apps are around 300 MB and you have 10MB left. Only factory reset cleans the space but the problem is still present, so you can't use Walkman and Spotify at all.

Is this problem solved for people that had it before?
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
No never...these space bugs afaik are software glitches which people are reporting since ages with different versions of android and also with different phones. I personally never experienced this on my 4 droids. So don't worry, among 100 devices if one faces it then it's not a problem device specific.

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 PM ----------

@serajr it becomes inconvinient for many users including me to download from Gdrive but somehow I did it...Thought I would provide a mirror on dev-host which works from anywhere. I hope you won't mind for sharing this, and also why not you shift to Dev-host?

We Recognized themers get 40 GB there (actually premium membership). Still as you wish to continue your work. If you don't know about Dev host yet see this.
[Sony Xperia L] vsk:
Same problem here!

Even though I followed precisely the instructions in OP, systemUI keeps FC and both the nav and status bars are missing...:(
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
Unfortunately same here :(
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
same here too , Systemui and navgiation bar FC !!

Serjar PLEASE fix :(
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Thanks bro... I really didn´t know about it!

I´m gonna update OP with mirror link.

About systemUI fc, once it is working fine here I can do nothing about... unfortunatelly!!!

You need to see the your Logcat since device boots and look for SustemUI error messages, but I can ensure all you here that it´s working.

It will not work if:

- You´ve installed it through Root Explorer

- You´ve flashed first install file then second install file (without reboot between them)

- You haven´t flashed full .17 firmware with FlashTool (first of all)

- You haven´t wiped data/factory reset
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
I will flash again and then will give you logcat...But I did all as you said...

EDIT : adb is gone crazy...No device attached is feedback :(...Someone please report.
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
I had followed the instructions firstly flashed Stock FTF then Wiped out Data cache dalvik and then flashed first file and then rebooted then flashed second one the system UI FC's :( :confused: Currently on V1
[Sony Xperia L] niaboc79:
This will help you ;)
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:

[Sony Xperia L] ghostzz:
I flashed vengeance test kernel and its modules...i successfully got wifi with it..but when I'm pressing the lock/unlock button...the screen is getting on after 3-4 secs..anyone got solution for this??
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
[MENTION=4721582]ghostzz[/MENTION] yes it is a test kernel flash Extended stock kernel V3 instead for a stable daily use
[Sony Xperia L] ghostzz:
Even I used that kernel too...wifi wasn't working in that.!
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
[MENTION=4721582]ghostzz[/MENTION] Wifi works properly flash modules with it PM me if you face further problems i would be happy to help BTW i dont want to get off topic on development thread
[Sony Xperia L] Hipom:
same problem with me and v3 too...
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Buddies... Issue found... just let me fix it and later I´ll update OP with v2.1!!
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
U r genius;)...Take your own time...:)
[Sony Xperia L] skad00sh:
I didnt face any issue in v2! Why, thats I don't know

Sent from my C2104
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
You probably have installed v2 over v1 or v1.1... Problem occurs only with a fresh rom install (all install instructions steps).

So do nothing!!
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
I installed on v1.1
[Sony Xperia L] Raj joshi:
i have installed this rom i.e v2 first time on my device with all flashing instructions and now i am getting systemui fc :(

any possible solutions?????
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
Gooood News :) , Thanks ... Please fix today ;)
[Sony Xperia L] skad00sh:
Yeah! I installed on v1.1

Sent from my C2104
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
The problem is: Me toggle installs a URI (content observer) to watch its changes, but if the Contacts list is empty, its URI is null, and Android fc by installing null URI´s, I´ve tested below procedure here and it worked!!

- After flash first install file and boot to system, open Contacts app and import your contacts, or at least create a new one!

Now you can continue to other install instructions step!!

Waiting for feedback...
[Sony Xperia L] Navneet Suresh:
you are right

I think so you are absolutely right i have an empty contact as i have a new fresh rom will try the method will post result btw am downloading some apps right now will wait to complete em' :D :good:

[MENTION=3989065]serajr[/MENTION]

#Update testing now Flashing V2 Zip

#Update worked like a charm :D
[Sony Xperia L] sandy7:
well i can confirm u that ur theory worked like a charm...i some how resigned framework-res.apk and systemUi and add it in freash rom as single zip itself ...at boot it didnt work after i started to restore my contact the systemUI came magically

i mean booted on 1st boot
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
[MENTION=599722]niaboc79[/MENTION], [MENTION=5143953]rakz992[/MENTION] take a look at here!!

THANKS!!!!

So that´s what we need to do... I´m gonna update OP install instructions!!!

I hope later to fix that by looking for a empty Contacts list and adding a fake first one (proggramatically).

Edit:

Updated OP install instructions. Added step 9:
[Sony Xperia L] niaboc79:
Great :victory:

No way to auto install a new contact at installation?
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
Yep...
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
so ,, flashed 1st zip , imported contacts , flashed 2nd zip , no boot :(
[Sony Xperia L] sandy7:
try this way

flash 1st zip

reboot

flash 2nd zip

reboot to system

import contacts

reboot
[Sony Xperia L] serajr:
I think that it´s totally fixed... I´m testing new SystemUI,apk right now under a fresh install and later I´ll update OP (again) with v2.1 (no need to import contacts or another workaround anymore)... Just wait!

Edit:

Worked like a charm!! Time to update OP (later at home)...

I was breaking my head the day for the fix!!;)

Time to flash it!!

If have previously installed v1.1 or v2, just install second install file from OP (no wipe required).
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
Finally v2.1 worked... :D

So I can theme it now ;)
[Sony Xperia L] niaboc79:

Review of this rom:-

Well OP you are awesome!!!! Fine rom!!! Can be used as daily driver...no bugs

Suggestions:

Plz add patch for black statusbar bcz transparent statusbar looks ugly and inappropriate in apps like whatsapp,chrome,xda premium etc

Also NFC symbol missing in statusbar when its on :(
[Sony Xperia L] sshivampp:
After reboot, smallapp widgets resets to default. I mean after reboot it has ony 4 icons (notes, recorder, calculator, timer) though i had installed many other smallapps and were in the bottom bar of recents screen before reboot, this happens to me always if I replaced my SystemUI.apk of my stock deodexed rom and on this ROM too.
[Sony Xperia L] kazabubu:
Great rom for daily use!But there's something annoying...

When I ask the screen to wake up it takes 2-3 seconds to wake up.(One or two times woke up immidiately)...

Any idea why this is happening?

I use Extented Stock Kernel v3...
[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
