I'm stuck on deciding what to do next.
I'm having issues playing Injustice on my SP on the stock Rom. It randomly pauses or closes fully back to home while playing. I have 3 options I think; Do I tweak this Rom with supercharger script or something. Or do I install a custom Rom like eXistenZ and hope that performs better. Or do I just wait for official 4.3 update and then hope memory management is better?
What would you guys suggest? I'm still new to my Xperia SP.

If I were you, I would wait for the android 4.3 and If the ram management sucks too I would go for cyanogenmod.
Go to CM 11, the best choice you have!
The thing that's putting me off CM is the loss of Sony stuff like stamina mode and im guessing no walkman and gallery light effects.
I like all the little gimmicks haha

thats the only reason i got a launcher instead
I think I'm going to try a script to maybe sort out memory management, and then when 4.3 comes, I'll remove the tweaks, relock bootloader and then install the new official update. When that will come is another story
Gonna keep watching the thread in general about the update

Nope

It's working, but laggy. Superiour auto is always crashes. There is no updates in picture quality, only visual changes and some toys like AR Effect. But you'll loose 13 MP in Superiour auto, scene selection and stability.
So choise is yours. If you still want it you can find it in Honami roms like eXistenZ Ultra Edition or Essential Honamix.
Or if you don't want to flash new rom you can ask for it in Honami ports thread. Someone will give you a link in a private message.

Sony deleted my port for a reason, because it's software in very early stages.

Do you know how a company works?
They deleted it for marketing reasons, do you understand how bad it would be if Samsung and other brands would got their hands on Sony source before release? They want it to be exclusive, not that another brand would release something similar earlier

+1 to this, sony punished us for leak 4.2.2 and dont want to share his app
I recently bought an SP and I love it except for the ff problems i've encountered so far:
- Walkman app, stops playing after a while, specifically when I'm multitasking. Walkman + Instagram etc.
- Swiftkey Keyboard sometimes doesn't show. Needs to re enable at Language and Input section.
- Poor VGA front cam. (which I'm aware of, prior to buying this device, so it's ok)
Basically, upon researching, SP somehow have poor RAM management and kills apps when RAM is somehow low. I wish we could define apps that SP won't kill, and it'll be fine!
Yes ram management is really bad in SP.. Someone will say free RAM is waste RAM.. But thats not true in my experience.. If u have low ram means ur running apps will close automatically... So free ram is not waste ram at always
Just try to root ur SP and freez some unwanted apps
Can you unlock the bootloader? Try CyanogenMod
Yeah in cm based roms we get a ram of 841 mb and in stock based roms only 766mb
Sent from my C5303 using xda app-developers app
I'm not talking about how much RAM does it say it has, Its about how it is managed.
Yep. CM based roms will giv better ram management and performance than Stock based rom.. If u dont care about the beauty of the Stock or stock based custom roms means try CM

The keyboard disappearing seems to be another bug Sony need to fix, as this happens even with the stock one, sometimes
Hope the 4.3 update fixes this and the lockscreen bug, plus better ram management

I think that the Ram management will be fixed only in 4.4 update kitkat as It is optimized For less Ram also.
And maybe wakeup bug will be fixed in coming 4.3
Sent from my C5302 using xda app-developers app
It's funny that of all the apps that can be forced close, it chosed Walkman and Keyboard. I'm ok if they forced close Facebook and Chrome all they want but the first two. lol

No, it can be fixed already in 4.3. This problem is not due to android version but to Sony developers mistakes. It seems they have forgotten to make some apps like keyboard or music unkillable. The problem never happens on any jelly bean Rom without Sony UI.

Actually they are force closed too but you don't really see it. Android kills background apps to free memory for foreground app. Music and keyboard are special apps that you also use when they are in background ( keyboard seems foreground but I think it's just an illusion, the real foreground app is the one you are writing in) and that's why we notice it and it's annoying.
You can notice that Facebook or chrome are also killed in background because when you switch app and come back to them they have to reload, they are not at the state they were when you left them (most of the time for heavy apps).

Hi. I haven't even downloaded 4.3 yet, but I found out that 4.4 is going to have an epic feature: the ability to hide the home-bar and swipe it in when you need it! Finally you're able to use the 5" screen fully in all apps!
Does anyone know when we can expect this update?

We have no idea about 4.4 yet. As you said, 4.3 is not yet been made available in all regions much less 4.4.
We know it's coming, I bet somewhere in the first quarter of 2014 and this all depends on a possible new flagship that Sony will reveal at MWC which may put the Xperia Z to the third tier behind Z1 and the new one.
And that feature sure exists on 4.4 but apps must be programmed to get use of it. I have a Nexus 7 with 4.4 and not many apps support the Immersive Experience yet.
Hope I helped!
Yes!, it is coming!, but i don't know when
I think it is a little too soon to start opening threads like this.

Dude, we JUST got 4.3.
One thing to take away from getting 4.2.2, 4.3 is: We never know before the last minute. There is NEVER a release date set months ahead.
We just have to wait.
being enjoying my full 5" screen for a while using LMT Launcher; swype up for back, home, etc.
no need for on screen buttons =]
i want 4.4 because of the new caching system which is noticeably faster.
this 4.3 is great though as usual from sony!

You should ask in Sony's support forums, maybe you are lucky and they won't ban you.

Give it a try to CM or AOSP 4.4.2 you will have a more optimized and faster Android, and you will enjoy the new features.
I recommend you Mokee ROM with Meaw Kernel.
You will find the threads in Original Android Development section

Simple...when other manufacturers release the 4.4...wait 6-8months then we can have our kitkat for XZ

unfortunetley i have the US T mobile Xperia Z with a locked bootloader... had to get this version for the AMAZINGLY FAST 4G LTE
First of all i dont care much about 4.4, i prefer overall performance. So my question is, is it worth upgading considering its improvement and bugs?
There are some nice touches, but the phone is just as fast as before.
IMO for a release it seems rather unstable. Tried it and well, I'd wait for the next release.
I wait... As it seems like Sony have not tested things properly

No, it's not worth.
Am not updating.
need root to sort the sd card issue and i cba with the hassle of flashing ftf, downgrading then upgrading all for an update which adds nothing in terms of features and appears to have plenty more bugs
does the z1 still have its SMS app on KitKat 4.4 or have they switched to Google Hangouts?
if so then thats another reason why i wont be updating.

Hello all.
Have the Xperia Z1 with CM11. Wondering if I can get the stock camera app running, and if possible, how?
Don't like the stock camera app for CM11 since I don't think it's able to benefit the good camera of the Z1 to the full extent.

Short answer.. No
It uses Sony framework and cm does not...
I remember some cm / Sony framework roms... But that was for the arc... But in any case you should not count on it...the quality won't be better either as that is depending on the libs etc... But see if camerazoom app is better or go back to stock

Thanks for the quick reply!
Sounds good. Only installed CM11 since it fixed my constant loop of booting (after flashboot) into a firmware that was not detected by Sony software. Hopefully going back to stock will be possible for me
Anyways, thanks for the answer!
