Just a general question really, is it worth unlocking my bootloader?
Not many custom kernels around so I guess it's only cm10 based Roms everything else seems stock based?

Its up to you.
I imagine soon there will be custom kernels with abilities such as UC/OC/UV etc
If you can root the phone without unlocking the bootloader and dont want to install CM then I would wait untill some new kernels come along.
On stock jb at minute flashed as soon as I got it not rooted yet though might do that later,

Hello, im a Sony user and I just switched to htc. I want to know what are the custom kernels available and how to flash them. The method I used for Sony won't work here I guess.

I suggest you have a read around general and development sticky threads.

Hmmm..i don't think so, even the ICS for stock has been stopped...i like what u asked from devs, cause I can't unlock bootloader too...but I think there will be new roms for.us....

Developers tend to prefer custom kernels for the increased capabilities they offer. Its unfortunate, but thats just the way it is. I have an unlocked bootloader but im still using stock kernel for now. If the Rom your using isn't satisfying you, search for others n try a few. Im currently using LinuXperia v2 for stock kernel n its a great Rom ive had barely any issues with. You'll just have to look at other Roms that run on stock for now

maybe I can make some PIE for us!
hahaha...LOLz!!
just take a sit and keep try!
keep smiling while dev do the best for our little phone!
Was wondering if there were any easy to install tweaks for the xperia T jellybean os, that I can flash with cwm
That would allow me to customize many appearence features on statusbar, and threw out the phone? Would need something that will work on a locked bootloader! Maybe even recomendations on a feature packed custom ROM that uses a stock kernal? Thanks.

No
There are no tweak packs, there is a slight custom ROM, stock based so works on locked bootloaders, XperimenT, its in the android development section, its ICS based, a JB version is being worked on
Thanks! Im using Xperiment beta 2. I love how fast the phone runs, and how good my battery is! I just dont see anything different other than the boot screen . Maybe because its a beta?

Yeah it's because it's a beta and the dev wants to get it stable before he adds customizations, also they don't work from ICS so new ways are needed to get it working. Patience

Fair enough! I might flash the xperimenT ics stable then, quick question tho.. Can I not keep the jb xperimenT backup on my phone, and then swap roms as needed via cwm restore? Would be fairly cool. On the same note, minus the odd crash here and there, the experimenT jb beta is just incredible performance wise.

You may have issues as to swap versions, JB and ICS, a lot of the time you need format sd card, you'll also need to make sure the correct kernel is in place and that you flash the correct cwm+reboot fix, so it is a pain bit doable

I've been searching around, but can't seem to find a straight answer on all ROM's. Which ROM's are usable with a locked boot loader? Thanks in advance.
Edit - Done some more reading... Can I do anything with a locked boot-loader really? Or am I forever limited to 4.1.2 based ROMs?
Take a proper look in the Android development forum dude!
There are loads of ROMs you can flash on a locked bootloader. Generally the ROM will say LB/UB and must be a modified stock ROM.
The only ROMs you can't flash are cyanogenmod/Aokp /aosp based ROMs.
Or upgrade to 4.2.2. with a stock tft via flash tool.

Thanks so much, sorry im new to sony bootloaders. So if I upgrade to 4.2.2 I can flash cyanogenmod/aosp Roms? I really want to use parandroid... Or is that impossible as of currently? Also, will the boot loader eventually get unlocked? I'll probably end up returning this phone if its not possible for a long time. Again thanks.

Do not flash paranoid on your phone with a locked bootloader , you will brick your phone.

Alright I see. Thanks. Hopefully there will be an unofficial bootloader unlock for this phone eventually.

Don't you have the T-Mobile US branded variant of the Z (C6606)? If so, you cannot flash any custom kernel as your bootloader cannot be unlocked. (I know your signature says C6603, but the model number changes if you flash an unbranded rom).
To check for yourself if your bootloader can be unlocked, enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler, then look in Service info, Configuration.

So does that mean I can't install roms either?? I can boot into recovery and all that

You can flash stock based roms only. Anything that requires a custom kernel (CM/AOSP/AOKP/PAC etc) are not able to be flashed on a locked bootloader.
