[Xperia Z1 Android Development] geralD_carl:
LiquidSmooth is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project.

HOW TO INSTALL

1) First copy ROM to internal storage

2) copy Gapps to internal storage

3) Make sure you have a kernel with CWM or TWRP recovery. (if not, then flash a CM kernel using fastboot flash boot boot.img)

4) Immediately boot into recovery.

5) I always wipe data and cache to be safe

6) Flash ROM and GAPPS as you do with normal CM

7) Recovery solution link thanks to [MENTION=5618877]abbychauhan[/MENTION]

8) Enjoy

Issues

Recovery seems broken on this kernel, so to flash another version, you will have to reflash a custom boot.img in order to gain recovery.

Root appears to be broken

Camera is broken

Mic (maybe broken?) edit: yes it is broken. Waiting for the CM source kings to work their magic

Everything else seems to be working well!

Warning!

This is a test version so please don't expect things to be working properly!
