Notes

​

​

1. You need to flash Stock Android 13 before flashing this ROM (61.2.X.X.XXX)​

​

2. If you came from a SODP based ROM (or another AOSP-based Custom ROM), you must ALWAYS go back to the latest official Android 13 firmware, and boot until you get to the Xperia Launcher​

3. To enable charging or the battery charge limit go to Settings > Xperia Settings > Battery Care > Turn on Use Battery Care > Turn on Enable Charging > And set your custom percentage limit

4. If your device isn't charging make SURE you have Pause Charging (Aka H.S. Power Control)

5. To change the Refresh Rate, swipe down the quick settings, and press on the pen icon, then scroll down till you find the "Refresh Rate" option and toggle it to your desired refresh rate

6. The 360 Reality Audio preview music is broken (Even with the required blobs it does not work yet but I am keeping it there for now)

7. If the 360 Reality Audio app shows a globe with a strikethrough icon go to Settings > Apps > See all apps > Three-dot menu in the top right of the screen > Show system > Click on 360 Reality Audio Settings > Mobile data & Wi-Fi > Allow network access

8. 360 Upmix Lite is on by default, to turn it off head to Settings > Xperia Settings > Audio Settings > 360 Upmix > And disable 360 Upmix by tapping on the the toggle in the top right of the of the app​

Flashing Instructions

(Download both the ROM, boot & vendor_boot images from the links below)​

Clean Flash:​

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot --set-active=a
fastboot flash boot_a [boot image]
fastboot flash vendor_boot [vendor_boot image]
fastboot reboot recovery

adb sideload <rom.zip>

BUT If you want to flash Magisk go to

fastboot flash boot_a [magisk boot image]
fastboot flash boot_b [magisk boot image]
fastboot reboot

adb sideload <rom.zip>

OR If you want to flash KernelSU go to this link, download the latest KernelSU kernel image and then flash follow the flashing guide from above and download the Magisk 26.1 image (and flash it as instructed) from the OneDrive folder. After you've done that go to the OneDrive and navigate to the following folders: KernelSU > Pico GApps/Full GApps folder depending on your installed variant > Download & Install Magisk-v26.1.apk > Follow the instructions and reboot your device > Download & Install KernelFlasher.apk > Look at the Slot Suffix (should say _a or _b) > Click on Slot A or B (depending on the Slot Suffix) then click on the "View" button off to the right > "Flash" > "Flash AK3 Zip" > Select the KernelSU Zip > Reboot > Uninstall Magisk > Download & Install KernelSU_v0.6.8_11238-release.apk. Enjoy KSU!

Updating from a older build (Dirty Flash):​

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot recovery

adb sideload <rom.zip>

If you've had Magisk flashed before you need to reflash it again, go to the steps below the Clean Flash and do the same again, then reboot and you should still have Magisk

For the Camera button I suggest Installing Key Mapper and then configuring it as in this and this picture. (Screen off button detection is only available for rooted users)
