[Q] 4.3 Rom Suggestions for Sony Newbie - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Community,
Im new to Sony devices and have a Sony XZ1s Tmobile USA edition C6916. It is currently rooted on stock rom with locked bootloader. Can anyone suggest a good 4.3 Rom that will work with my setup? A rom that does not require using the Flashtool so that I can easily just flash it with TWRP?
Thanks

Welcome mate...
One suggestion - change title of your thread.
Best ROM threads aren't allowed on XDA.
Thread is generally OK, you just want to hear few things from users but change title - moderators will close your thread with this name.

Look, Moderators are behind you...LOL...
BTW, there is no good, bad, best, you have to test them by your self and see which suite your needs.

We do not allow best ROM/Kernel threads no matter how they are named. The question is subjective, best advice is to head over to the development section try some out and see which best suits your needs.

Is there anyone who has an Xperia T and wants development started?

Dear Xperia T users,
Some of you might already know me, but some won't. I'm a developer for Sony Xperia phones and I have some experience now
I'm looking for people that are willing to test a kernel with recovery for me
When we have a working recovery I'll also need testers for my custom rom: KA Xperia SSpeed
I haven't started to make the kernel with recovery yet, first I need to know if there is interest in this at the moment?
Thank you,

ok, pm me if you want to test some stuff
just flashing kernels to begin, but it won't brick your device if you follow my instructions
Hey Krabbple , if you realease roms for t then try to ask pple to test on tx because its exactly the same but diff design / remove batt. also it might be compatible for v but kernel flashing may be diff.
I will test. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted. Both kernel in other thread just stick on bootlogo

new kernels posted, let's hope they boot this time the command I use should be good, I used the right base adresses
I posted 2 insecure kernels, please test them both and report back to me
I am getting my T next week krab, we could join up for development?
Ive got mine now, put me down for helping to test the ROM's and such, would rather be honest and say that I have no idea on how to flash a kernel.
My Xperia T should arrive in the next days to be compared with a S3 first hand. I'm pretty sure the S3 will lose and will be sent back to Amazon - and I'm absolutely up for some crazy flashing
What can I do to help development? Should I dump the firmware and upload it? It is from O2 Germany and without a simlock, can't say if it is branded yet.
the big and might Codeworkx is having the T too....
expect fabulous dev work here !!!!
Can't wait Krab
Bring the Rom & Kernel on.. LOL

Did you read the OP of that thread?
Why not ask in that thread?
Why dig a 6 month old thread up to ask this question?
Short answer is NO

OK, I understand you cannot ask in that thread, fair enough.
But a bit of reading will tel you that you can not flash that rom on stock kernel.
Please read this you will make much further steps forward if you try for yourself instead of asking..
its the old story of giving a man a fish or a teaching how to fish.
I remember when I was a noob at Android Rooting and Flashing, but now all of that changed. Now I flash tons of weird files onto my phone and flashed more than I can remember. I even hard bricked my TL before. ( i got a new one from warranty ). My question is... Why bump this old thread

Rooted Xperia T with Locked Bootloader

Hello..
I have a Rooted Xperia T but with locked bootloader..
Which Rom is best for battery and has all the Sony movie / sound apps ect
Thanks
stock sony.
Try them yourself and find out.
How do I know they are stock Sony Roms?

Look, you need to need to try some roms for yourself and see which is best for you, its an individual experience
If you want us to tell you which is best for you, then give up control of your life and buy an iPhone
Their is no "best" ROM/Kernel, head over to the development section, try some out for and see which "best" suits your needs.

moto x xt1053 4.4.3 roms

Being rooted doesn't allow you to flash ROMs. It's the fact that you are now UNLOCKED that allows you to....
Please do not attempt to flash any other -Stock- ROM, other than the one for XT1053 - it can cause issues that I'm not going to go into detail about.
Feel free to flash the -CUSTOM- (or Stock-Based) ROM of your choice, as long as it is GSM-based.
I suggest checking out all the available ROMS in the Android development section, and the Original Android Development section. Each thread should tell you which devices it is compatible with, and if you are unsure, ask the DEV.
I'm sure you will receive replies from various users with suggestions based on ROMs they have tried, so you might get more info from other users.
My personal preference is for the STOCK ROM. You can use Xposed/Gravity Box to customize your existing stock ROM to your liking, and this is easier and safer, IMO.
Hope this helps.
thanks man

[Q] List of custom roms with stock sony kernels????

Hello everyone.... I would like to have the list of custom roms which run on the stock sony kernel or basically clean vanilla custom roms which I can flash with a locked bootloader but having root. Do help out in this front. Thanks in Advance
I would think that most roms in the Development subforum would be what you're looking for. Just look for any rom posted that has "LB" (meaning, ok for Locked Bootloader) in the thread title.
