Hi,
I have a Xperia T running Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and I really think it is time to update. There is a custom rom out for the Xperia T called "CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Custom ROM" and there is a Kit-Kat custom rom out for the Xperia T called "Android 4.4 KitKat Omni" I want to update to either one of these, Which do you think is the best for PERFORMANCE. or which is the BEST custom rom out there for the Xperia T?
I have seen many custom roms including pacmans rom, cm10.1 and the 4.4 kitkat custom rom. There is a issue with the 4.4 kitkat which is "HDMI out" .. I dont think this will have a big impact on me as I do not really have a HDMI out port on my phone? and seriously have no idea what it is aswell. Can anyone tell me what is the best custom rom out there for the Xperia T! Will appreciate it!
Thanks
Just remember that if you want to run CM or Omni, you'll need an unlocked bootloader.
What the best custom rom is, is a matter of personal preference. X will say rom Y, because it had feature Z and A will say rom B, because it is Android version C. So, generally we suggest to read the respective threads to learn what features a rom has and to check whether people experience e.g. bugs or other problems and then decide which one to install. A good place to start reading about flashing and what you'll need is the All-in-One thread.
You'll probably end up flashing other roms anyway when you get hit by the virus
Oh, and if you don't know what HDMI out is, you probably don't use it, so you don't have to worry about it just search of you encounter concepts you're not sure about.

I'm new to the Xperia V, and am looking for a Lite version of the stock ROM.
I like what Sony have done, but don't need all the social apps, google apps and other bloatware, but I can't find an existing ROM being developed for the V that offers a lite install of the stock ROM.
Something like the Curiosity ROM which is available for Xperia T owners.
Am I missing something, I have looked through all the V development thread with no luck.
Regards
Hello,
You might be interested in the Smart Xperia V ROM in the Android Developement section
This is as close to stock as it can be, but without the bloatware. It's deodexed too
Alternatively you can try the Unique ROM flavour, for a taste of customisation.
Both are stock based and work on locked bootloaders.
I hope you like them - just search/browse a bit more in the Developement section
Best regards.

Thanks for your reply.
(Un)fortunately no searching is necessary to explore the Xperia V ROMS on xda as there are only a couple of pages to browse through.
I have already evaluated all the ROMS in the development thread and none meet my needs for a stock ultralite ROM without google/social/bloat. Great ROMS as they are. Yes the smart rom does look interesting.
It's a shame there is so little development fo the XV
Goodmorning to all the followers of this forum
I'm a galaxy nexus flashaholic, so the newbie in the title it's not me, but my girlfriend.
Since here in italy the jellybean official update is not showing up, i wanted to update her phone with one of your roms.
So, couple of questions:
FIRST and most important: Would you recommend the upgrade?
Wich Rom do you think has all working functions needed?
Wich one is the more useable for her?
Thak you!
Jellybean is much better than Gingerbread in my opinion.. but the experience gets much better when you root it and install CoCore E 6.2 (custom kernel).. Right now there are a lot of ROMs to choose from but its only upto to the user who should decide what to use on his/her phone...
So first upgrade to Jellybean using any recent JB firmware (I'd recommend DULP8 firmware), then Root it and flash CoCore E 6.2 and that should Increase the device's Performance and Battery Life... This is what I have done, I did not flash any custom ROMs yet, simply because they are not the way I want them to be (so I'm making my own ROM right now).. but since there are a lot of ROMs to choose from, the user should be deciding which one he/she would like to use..
Take a look at the Development Section, you will find all the ROMs there...
Hi guys,
I'm using CyanogenMod 7.2, but it started to become painfully slow and it crashes almost every day. So I'm think about installing another ROM, but to be honest, after reading recent topics with custom ROMs, I really can't decide which one should I download. I would like to have an ICS or higher, but if there is a ROM on 2.3 that is way faster than any ROMs on 4.0 and higher, I can install the Gingerbread.
What are your recommendations? I'm currently interested in modded CyanogenMod 10.1, ImaGinary ICS Final and Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, I get it, but... how should I choose the best one - which is most suitable for me - when people can't express their opinions about different ROMs? Most of the posts in particular ROMs threads are related to some broken stuff etc., so it is hard to find same opinions.

hello, I cant answer your question, I can only give you an idea of what I experienced and read out there. Like all of us, you have to experience, have fun, and make your own evaluation, I begin to suggest you to choose spacecaker's rom , or you can get the stock rom with new kernel, andrenaline engine and Darktremor.
But dont stay with those, try some more a get back to tell us your opinion
Hope I helped

I completely agree with quashqool. U shud search n try n get a first hand experience yourself. Some users want battery life, some want performance and some want UI. So people review different ROMs differently. However I have created a thread to answer this and similar questions. You may try it here

The ROM Im Already Using Is Tw5 JB ROM (4.1.2 - 4.2.1) it is very fast and smooth and good looking ,it doesnt flash the kernel and it doesnt spend so much battery
ROM][CM10.1][S4 UI][UPDATE]Touchwiz Revolutionised 5.0 v2.0 [21.7.13]

I'm using one of those that you mentioned: modded CyanogenMod 10.1 and then on top of it I installed PurePerformances™X.
I've tried Miracle V4 and M'rage. This setup seems better to me in every way, but that is just my opinion. It also depends if you like CM or stock roms..
I am looking to start modding my Z1. I had a Galaxy S2 and used Pac-Man Rom before and loved it.
The thing is I want an Xperia based Rom.
So does anyone know which one is the best Xperia based (JB 4.3) Rom and why?
Also can you confirm if I require to unlock bootloader (and what are the disadvantages of doing so)
Hello,
the big thing is you have to try it.Everyone likes something other and different.I testet 7 roms for now and im not perfect yet.What do you want Stock?,maximal customizability?,voltage mods include?,deodexed?.It's a long table find out what you want and then ask for the rom what is voltage mod ... etc.
best regards,merry X-Mas

Hey Nico,
Thanks for the reply. I want something more Xperia deodexed like. Not looking for stock android as for that I would go back to Pac-Man (like my s2).
I really like Xperia UI but need a bit more that I feel like its missing: e.g. Ihacker or monxDIFIED but the differences between then seem very small. Major things are alike (boot menu, connectivity etc. ) so I would like to know if either of those is better or there is something alike that is better.

hey guys,
I supportet monx a little with a little donation, and now i get the early Rom build.I have also to say i like the I Hackers which i have on my Phone now but the big issue is no recovery.And also i miss the reboot bars and stuff thats the point to go for me.My first well and fast running rom on the Xperia was the monox thats the point why i decided to donate some and get the latest stuff.Personally i can say that was the best rom for me on 4.2.2.Anyway all Roms are good,I try the 4.3 build of him and then i'll give a new feedback.

Hey there!
I own a Sony Xperia SP model C3506, updated to the latest stock version possible (4.3 Jelly Bean). Now, there are a few apps and a very specific one available only to users on 4.4+ (I think someone will probably know exactly which one I mean), and I would absolutely love to install a ROM to my phone to update it and be capable of running this application, but unfortunately for me, it's technically not considered my own phone, as my father claims he only "lent it to me" (for over a year now). He is no idiot, and is the kind of person to notice any little out-of-place characteristics like the battery meter being horizontal instead of vertical, or the colors are different or this or that, so I ask to you all; is there a way install a 4.4 ROM that is so perfectly the same as the stock 4.3 that even my father with a degree in computer science won't see the difference?
I was looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-z3-experiencesp-t3039228 , but the big problem is that with that, going into the "About Phone" menu will show the version to be 4.4 and also show the mod version, which, while necessary for most, is not so good for me.
NOTE: If there's a way to edit things in the ROM I linked above to make it look like and claim to be 4.3, then please, tell me how! I'll do it myself if necessary.
Bump.
Just install a stock rom but tell him you added a launcher to it. If ever the phone needs some fixing backup using the recovery and flash the stock rom
Try multirom with stock 4.3 and cm13
And use the stock rom while you're near him
