So I recently acquired a Sony Xperia Z1S.
Just got it rooted and also installed a custom recovery (TWRP).
Now what's left is a custom ROM to install..
Is there anything out there for the Z1S yet? I saw the MIUI v5 ROM LifeHacks posted but it seems to have a few issues and not very stable..
Thanks!
bump.
There will not be custom rom such as CM, MIUI or any other because your phone cant be unlocked.
But there is probably some stock based roms that you can use.
I will search a little bit.

First of all, every custom rom (based on custom kernel) requires an unlocked bootloader and as the bootloader unlock breaks the camera that functionality will be lost in each and every custom rom until Sony fixes the issue.

Bump, same question as topic.
My wifes z1c has camera and battery issues, i need a rom that just works, no bells or wistless, just that it works, all of it. Besides that, battery is the second most important thing.
Any advice on ROM, kernel, mods etc?

Hi,
I have a problem with all the custom roms. the sensitive buttons don't work.
I tried all Maclaw's roms and Virginity V3 but i have always this issue.
when i come back to the stock rom, it works.
I think the problem come from the kernel : i tried the Virginity Kernel V3 on my rom stock just rooted, it don't work neither.
can anybody help me ?

Reroot ur phone and flash
Remember do your own experiments on your phone because its yours
So find a solution by yourself because no one has this problem
Blame Samsung I read somewhere that our phone got this problem
So try and try until u get it
i'm sorry to say you can't do anything about it... neither a developer can, as far as i know.. about 5% of s3 minis have this problem.... you just live with it, i do too

Ya tried any other roms yet? I know it works on 4.3 PAC and my KK ROM (just tested it). ATT user and I don't pay for the service, but it works. Custom roms are awesome.
I love custom ROMs, I've been flashing and rooting for about 3yrs now. What's your KK ROM?

Aosp based 4.4.1 with minimal tweaks. I haven't updated it in a bit, but I've been running it for a month now, needing a reboot once a week or so. I'll get back to working on it eventually.
Edit: It has some issues, but nothing major. Chrome likes to crash with an assload of tabs open for an example.
Can you post the link for me please? It sounds like a good reliable ROM, I would eventually like to learn how to build ROMs.

It's posted under development, about 8 down last I looked. If I were you I'd use Validus (until 4.4 Pac is ready) instead.
Hello! I want to switch from Sony Lollipop 5.1.1 to a stable AOSP based rom. I tried CyanogenMod 12.1 and AOSP Jaguar but I experienced screen freezes and general lag that makes me to go back to stock rom. It is a problem with my device or it is a problem with AOSP roms? What can I do in case that my device has this problem?
hi i tried all cm based roms and oasp roms and i can confirm you that all of them have screen freezes. There aren't any solutions expect to switch to stock based roms.

No problem dude but it's strange because it seemed that some users don't have this issue. The only one i didn't tried is this one http://fxpblog.co/qualcomm-krait-400-family/sony-xperia-z1/ because i don't understand how to flash it. If you want to try. (the aosp one)

Hmm, I don't really know. I will give it a try without gapps when I will have time. For the moment I need a fully functional phone.
Hello I was wondering if there are any kitkat roms for Z3C with UB. Im looking mainly for AOSP KitKat roms.
If there are any I would be so thankful.
