Good question, I think it s the desire of all and the rom will tell us when ready to be official.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
I really think we should go official. I mean it is running pretty well without any major issues. It would be nice to stay up to date with CM's changes rather than waiting for a build from varun.

The one issue that bothers me is the lagg while recording videos. Once that's taken care of, this ROM is definitely stable in my opinion.

Other users have reported some bluetooh issues, (I don't really use it, but oh well). I'm pretty sure these are the only two things left to be taken care off, and also camera quality. If that can be improved, that is.

I know you're probably very busy but please do consider reading this post [MENTION=4309448]varun.chitre15[/MENTION] many users have already reported that this rom is stable and can be used as a daily driver. In fact with the echo and screen scanning fixes, it's more stable than the CM kit kat nightlies ever was. You can just integrate any fixes that you come up with later on, which will come along with the nightlies. Just my opinion, I hope you do consider it.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Does anyone agree with me? :)
[Sony Xperia L] margaik:
stable

cyanogenmod camera apk. it makes great photo burt video recording lag. i have got also mms problems but the rest works fine. If varune fix camera it would by great, because of that issue i am still in 4.2.2 with social camera mod whith is great

No need to recompile the kernel.

Wi-Fi not working!

First of all, big thanks to the exceptional work done by the dev!

Okay, so here's what I did:

I flashed my CM12 ROM, followed by the Thunderzap lp kernel.

Now, I had messed up before. I flashed my kernel first, then flashed the ROM, which made me realize that the previous kernel would be overwritten.. So, I re-flashed the ThunderZap kernel. Now, everything works fine, except the Wi-Fi! No matter how many times I try to open, it just won't work! Other things work perfectly... Did I mess up during my installation? Please reply as soon as possible! :/

Installation Steps for CM12 beta 6 on Xperia L

Hello folks,

It was bit too hard for a novice like me to install CM12 on my Xperia L and make it work perfectly. I made too many small mistakes in the process and so I thought I should share my experience till it finally got working.

Here are the steps:

Download the file and install ADB and Fastboot drivers for Xperia L (taoshan): http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/download.php?dlid=Rmxhc2h0b29sLWRyaXZlcnMtMS41LTIwMTQwMzE4

To unlock the bootloader follow the steps on the following page: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-l/development/tutorial-bootloader-unlocking-relocking-t2332900

Use Official way and other steps are also being applied using the command prompt.

It can happen that after applying unlock code your phone may run into bootloop or other problems, simply flash the stock FTF.

Now, to install the CM12, I found this CWM recovery, which worked perfectly for me.

Download this CWM recovery from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/taoshan/

Download Thunderzap and CM12 from here: http://www.thunderzap.in/downloads/

Download GAPPS from here: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

Put the files CM12 + Thunderzap + GAPPS in your SD Card.

Reboot your phone in fastboot mode using volume up key while plugging in the USB cable, a blue LED must be on as an indicator of fastboot mode.

Use the following code to install CWM recovery in your phone from the folder where your ADB and FASTBOOT drivers are there from the command prompt:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

After successful installation of CWM recovery reboot your phone using following code:

fastboot reboot

When the pink LED is on press volume down button to go into the recovery mode, and the LED will be converted into Orange color.

From the menu select: wipe data/factory reset then after wipe cache partition. (For Clean Install)

Then after in Advanced menu select wipe dalvik cache. (For Clean Install)

Now return to main menu.

Select Install from zip and install the files in following order from the SD card:

CM12 beta 6

GAPPS

Thunderzap (Follow the instruction while installing)

After that return to main menu and reboot the system.

For me all the things are working fine and I am not facing any problem after following these steps. Hope that will be the same for you. :angel:
