Hello .. Thank you for your help , now i'm using xperianze rom :cool:

anyway , after i flash the rom , twrp said unlock, and swipe right to unlock.

does the bootloader become unlocked ??

and i never flash the kernel , is it okay ?

for anyone want to try using xperianze rom and LBL

1. Root your phone (please read TechnoSparks post previously)

2. Instal recovery

3. Boot into twrp

4. Follow the instruction to instal xperianze rom, exactly what the instruction is

5. be amazed :victory:
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
:good: Nice!

By the way I have some good news, I got reports that somehow Williams kernel could be used in the locked bootloader, but I can't confirm it myself.

You can try Williams Kernel v7 if you want to! ;)

Some silly doubts!!!

I am aware of these things, not totally but I know a bit.... my doubt here is that

1. Will I lose my ROOT access if I flash this new ROM,

2. Presently I'm on Stock ROM Xperia SP with build number .205 so is there any way to flash XperianZe ROM V3.03 directly?

3. Is there a TORRENT available for this... :o

Note:- Please forgive me if you are getting irritated with such a kind of doubts I am new to the concept of flashing ROM and this is the first time I'm doing so.... :mad:

Thanks in advance... :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Furrydaus:
1) Root wont be lost since the su binaries are in the rom itself and its a Cyanogenmod rom which by default, includes superuser (root for short)

2) Flash it via recoveries. Theres no easier method

3) There is no torrent. No mirroring is allowed

Regards,

Furrydaus

Any chance you'll be bringing that special "Stamina Mode" to your ROM?

Love it so far. Using the new ART runtime helps reduce the problems with battery drain a bit. It did cause some problems though:

Xperia Home doesn't work with ART. Use another launcher. I've tried Google Now and Yahoo Aviate, both work perfectly.

The clock, calculator and calendar don't work with the new runtime either. Just look for "Kitkat Calculator" and "Kitkat Clock" in the Play Store, and use Google Calendar. Disable the old apps.

"Download Music Info" crashes constantly in ART when called, which renders the Walkman app completely useless. Disabling the info-download app (also called "metadatacleanup" or something) removes this problem.

Make sure to disable any "Xperia with <social network>" app, as they crash too.

I used "System App Remover" (needless to say: it requires root rights) to disable apps that gave me trouble.

Now the phone runs smoothly on ART. Getting about a day of battery time, normal usage. My battery sucks though, trying this on a new SP might greatly improve results.

On a side node: I had to disable all sound improvements, even back when I used Dalvik as runtime. They messed up the sound, causing hickups in music.

You can clean flash V3 without V1, but then you can do a dirty flash to V3.0.5 with the recommended gapps and the movies patch :)

Installation

Agree with you "the avenging titan".

For LBL users, you have to flash a 205 firmware (there is no kernel in this rom) after you root your device and install recovery

Use recovery (twrp) wipe all: cache, data, dalvik cache, system

in recovery flash V3 and reboot, you chose xperia theme and turn off the phone

Reboot in recovery (twrp) wipe cache and dalvik cache, after flash V3.0.5 and flash movies patch

After for gapps , if you use it ( gmail, calendar, etc, google sync) flash them

- when you turn off the mobile data the logo in the status bar still stays like mobile data is on and if course mobile data is not working ( the only way to solve this is rebooting )

Hello, I don't post often, so I directed me to post here... but I just wanted to voice a couple of minor issues with the ROM. Other than these slight issues, it is a fantasic ROM and one of the most stable I have installed in a long time.

The issues are as follows:

-Default apps don't seem to be stored, it will ask each time which app to use, even if you choose "always use this app"

-The phone hangs in "call mode" when trying to make a call when there is 16% battery or less. The call will not connect, it will just get stuck on the dialling screen.

That's pretty much all I can think of!
