[Sony Xperia C] Riccorbypro:
BAD NEWS:

My Development Laptop's Hard Drive crashed, so I no longer have the projects I was working on (this one included). Due to the amount of time and effort Android development takes, and how little time I have to spare, I am going to hand this project over to the community. I have given the most active member I have seen so far (@AutumQueen92) contributor status, so that they can manage the thread. I can help here and there, but I will no longer be actively trying to develop CyanogenMod for the C3. I don't want to give this project up, but I just don't have the time for it any more. If you want to help with the ROM, you can find the device configs either at my GitHub or @wwwhana's GitHub. CyanogenMod Sources can be found on the CyanogenMod GitHub. Build instructions, amongst other things, can be found at the CyanogenMod Learning Center. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me at riccorbypro@gmail.com.

ROM

Today, I bring great news: CM12.1 for the Xperia C3!

This is a port of CyanogenMod, a free, open-source, community-made ROM based on the Android Open Source Project. This ROM is still in Alpha Stage, but I have posted the flashable zip in the 2nd post so that I can get user bug reports. Please report any unlisted bugs in the Bug Reports Tab.

Note: This ROM shouldn't damage your phone, but if it does, don't point the finger at me. I will laugh at you. Only after I am finished laughing, will I attempt to fix the ROM.

Note #2: I am currently studying IT at university, and do not have much time to spare for this project. If I do have time, I will try to contribute, but I will also have to rely on other developers to contribute to this ROM via GitHub. You can find the source at either my GitHub or @wwwhana's GitHub. CyanogenMod Sources can be found on the CyanogenMod GitHub. Build instructions, amongst other things, can be found at the CyanogenMod Learning Center.

Edit from AutumQueen92: Sorry guys, I'm abandoning this phone entirely for a non-Sony. There are better phones out there and it's extremely difficult to find help from other devs. I'm leaving this up in case some crazy guy wants to make this work.
