Can anyone suggest or help me to make a rom based on stock kit kat firmware for locked bootloaders. A plain one without any apk that can be downloded. NO SONY APPS oh and with a plain google lockscreen with working wallpaper in settings. just a basic camera, and without any xposed mod etc. would be perfect if it was totally black also in settings. I have all this on my xperia t, but not on z yet. Dont care about z2 ports etc, just a basic rom ie 400 mb or so. any input greatly appreciated.

You mean you want a special rom made for you?
Maybe its bit hard thing to make a ROM but you can talk to some developers like @Rajeev and tell him what you want
Yes basically a rom with only the bare minimum of apps and features to make the phone work, built for speed. Everything else can always be added later. I will ask Rajeev but I think he is busy with 2 roms.
To make the settings completely black is it just a case of decompiling the framework res apk and changing most to holo dark? Or is there more to it.

Just wait for my Ultimate BlackXZ v1 tomorrow.. Then download it. After that remove all stuffs that u don't like.. U know u can make a rom for Z with only 367 mb Size..
Making a Black Themed apk is not just changing colors xml.. U should spend some hours.. There are pngs. U need to theme it to White from Black. U need to look in Layout Folder. Lot of works..
Hey thanks Rajeev, I will wait and try your rom but alot of devs call their roms black when they are grey, the one I have on my XT is my pals darklord and it is truly black, this is what I would like to have. I would also like to learn how to go about this :-B

I will release the first version of the rom with 2 bugs will be solved, but as there are not big bugs, the rom is perfectly usable, I'll tell you what bugs:
1 - After installing the rom with the wipes, the initial configuration will of an error, and goes straight to the launcher to configure the account settings just go to "accounts" Simple!
2 - The menu that appears when loading the menu key, which has the option to add, settings, preferences etc., part of the text is poorly formatted, but it is still there and so we can see You do not notice it: p
That's not a bug:
To get a sense of the dock with the black background as in the images, follow these steps:
- Menu key 'preferences' Configuration of senna mod "Number of docks: choose two docks.
Go to the launcher and choose to dock two by swiping your finger sideways on top of it and personilaza with the shortcuts you want

Btw, i´m uploading to mediafire, thanks for the information.
Uploaded to mediafire too: http://www.mediafire.com/?4k4r2h70fpdj920
based on ROM ZEUS?
ur rom was name techno changed??
Nope, it's another rom, koila stopped Tecno rom... He said it some time ago and his thread was closed.
Now, this is another rom from him, but with a different name and a different look.
koila, looks great!!!
BTW, am unable to spot significance basic difference between your ROM and the ravenous 5.1 by robin.raven, if any??
it's like almost equal. get somethings unique, cause having two very similar ROM is confusing for the user.
hope you understand what i meant.
try and get more polished b/w look. take a sense framework & system ui, decompile it, study it and implement .xml changes and swap the png's.
the ROM looks promising.

Hi Achyut.
Yes, I understood what you meant and it is true, is similar to ravenious, but only on the outside, but not used ravenous as the base for my rom, I started again with V20o and was changing to look like the sense, only used the system.apk it to have less work
In short, it was I who added the widgets, walpapers, launcher, PNG's changed, etc. and removed the widget because it is paid and locker replaces the original lockscreen LG ...
I think the revinous no tweaks and this has and in the next version comes with even more tweaks in build.prop, on antutu i get score of 2500. ahah
I also used the theme of tim van der Horn as the basis for the rom, no files of raveniuos
Thanks
Who has tried the rom? Leave feedback here please

....one suggestion though, u can use the my PRADA systemUI and Framework-res.
take a look at the screenshots, if you feel u might implement it, temme, i'll share it.
there is a small glitch of non-centered clock (very easy to solve).....it was done ENTIRELY for personal use, since it was based on v6.28 ZEUS; and i had not shared it anywhere

Hi koila !
I've been using this ROM since 5 days, and I'm getting a lot of touchscreen freeze and a lot of ghost clicks.
The only way to resolve this is to lock phone then unlock it...
But anyway, this ROM is so nice looking

Saw the thread "Xperia z1 themes" phone needs to be rooted and deoxed rom to work. Hope someone makes a black /dark theme. Have done first step with root so just waiting for now
Hello XDA..
Why does no one started to make more xperia themes? I have been visited Department of Z1 (themes & apps) there is a lot of xperia themes designs Until I started to crying
We need a lot of xperia Z themes like Z1. I really love the nexus 5 theme for Z1

It should be compatible with Z I guess. Did you try?
Those themes should work on XZ (4.3).
There are few guys who already confirmed that

Yeah....
When you decompile theme you'll find few zip files.
One is for system, one for systemUI...etc
What's important is to decompile all and edit 9.png properly.
If you treat those png like any other picture you'll not get anything.
I don't have time to build something or to try to build something.
So I can only help with a things I know.
I wrote quick tutorial and I hope that could be a start for all who are interested.
This weekend I'll start to work on one of my themes and I hope it'll be out soon.

I've dealt with 9.pngs before. (sony keyboard mods) No problem. Just the recompile side of things I'm a bit unsure of. Also would be good to change package name so as to be able to install alongside the others.

In the first step I believe it's O.K to use some of the themes as a base to test all.
But it's very important to tell guys to delete original theme first.

just change the name in smali files and android manifest for different and separate installation and not in any files in assets those are different apks...and under assets folder whatever you want to modify when themes is installed than specify in android manifest the directory for it else it wont work

Depends what you want to go for. Looking good so far. Nice minimalist approach. The navkeys look a little stretched, but that's up to you, and something you can deal with later.You gonna change the toggles?
I haven't even started yet. Gotta wait until my kids go back to school, then I might have some time.
Might be pestering for help recompiling.

Download other clock widgets from the app store, long press on the lockscreen clock - swipe up to delete - and long press again to choose the widget you prefer.

Agreed, but material design is a bit overrated to me. The colors almost look to cartoon-like and I feel like a simple theme could have been applied to kitkat to give us the same look.
Anyway, that's the great thing about Android. If you don't like it, you can always change it.

Hello everyone!
I decided to make a theme for our Xperia Z running on Lollipop.
Please note that this is version 1.0 and there are still a lot of things i want to change or add in the following version. (Test apk)
Feel free tu use this theme and please don't forget to comment. Any kind of feedback is more than welcomed!
Nice. I'm on kitkat, and the theme works except for onscreen buttons. They are the xperia ones. Not the ones in your pics.
