Please make a clean installation of 4.4.4 or do a factory reset and you will solve your problems. For rooting you can use kingvortex method on general section. For custom roms use search box or google it, you can try several roms and than decide what is the best for you. Cheers.

Lol no problem
Btw.. The heating problem is pretty normal thing for this device. Try to use CPU temp apps in play store. If the CPU temp above 70°C so it's not normal...

I didn't use all ROMs but some of them will do maybe
BUT as a first time Android user. You should VERY take care about flashing stuff. And I repeat. VERY VERY TAKE CARE ABOUT THAT AND DO NOT DO SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW OR....

:laugh:
I'm not scaring you! Just warning you
The most 2 think you should never ever try or think about them is: flashing other device's kernel. Like flashing other Xperia or Samsung kernel on your device
And the same thing with the ROMs
Those things can hard brick your device. And you will never get it back... So don't try them!
The wrong mods of other devices or ROMs can soft brick your device. This can easily fixed but you will loose your data...
And good thing! You can use any C6602 mods kernels ROMs on C6603 and vice versa
And here is a link for KitKat FTF http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/stock-rom-xperia-z-c6603-android-4-4-4-t2871851

Sound problem on CyanogenMod 11

Hey,
I had already posted a topic but the problem is came back !
I explain the problem : when i'm listening music, there are sometimes a "sound crackling". I tried the "Lightning Kernel" but with the last update of CyanogenMod, this kernel produce display problems and the wifi does not work.
So i searched other solutions : i installed "FreeXperia CyanogenMod UNOFFICIAL 337" but the problem is still present
Have you a solution please ? CyanogenMod is a fantastic ROM, and i wouldn't want to uninstall this because of a sound problem.
Thank you !
And sorry if my english is approximately, it is not my official language

I have a similar problem that the sound do a BUZZING sound for 100 milliseconds and not helped by flashing kernels...
So I say this is a ROM bug. Same as me

Hey man. That's really worked
Didn't expected this solution
TapaTalked from my Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns ROM!

the only solution that worked for me is set minimal cpu freq from to 486, in the infected cyanogemod build no increase much your battery consumption

I can say that this sound problem (bzz) is not a cyanogenmod ROM issue. I already had this bug with official Sony ROM for C6603 with both KitKat 4.4 and Lollipop 5.0 when using Napster
So I think to increase CPU minimum at boot is only a way to reduce the problem.
I try this solution on Cyanogenmod 11, this bzz reduced in number but still stay.
I remember a old phone I had in the past where audio had a special treatment. I notice that on a old Nokia I bought, a DSP are inclued and audio signal was always treated by this DSP and never by the CPU ; Result, 0 bug with audio application. I supose that there is probabely something that CM and Napster on official Sony ROM do not in the correct way in this Xperia Z (dedicated audio hardware ?).

[Q] iFont not changing Bold font

No matter what font I apply, Bold doesn't get changed, it will stay Roboto Bold. And Roboto Bold appears everywhere instead of desired bold font.

If you're assuming I'm using a custom ROM, then no I'm not.
If you're saying applying bold font isn't supported on stock ROMs, I'm perplexed.

Hey cool down mate!
Stock based ROM doesn't mean fully stock.
Stock based ROM mean a modified and tweaked stock ROM. But those mods and tweaks are effective for the other apps.
And yes I told you to use **ANOTHER** ROM
It's your choice if you used stock based ROM or fully stock ROM like AOSP or PA etc
Not clear enough? See this
You: I'm using a ROM. ifont not working
Me: use another ROM! ANY!!
not clear enough?
Before flashing and other things you may have to try this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...aller&pcampaignid=APPU_898bVPqVDsfhywOnnYHoBw
It's may be the app problem.......

[Q] phone stuck at boot. (not bootloop)

I unlocked my bootloader, installed CWM recovery and all that good stuff... I transfered the VANIR-rom over to my SD-card and inserted it into my phone, flashed it, and the phone never leaves the bootscreen.... The bootanimation never stops, it just keeps going... I've tried different Roms but they all do the same. I've tried wiping the cache, flashing boot image via ADB and nothing works... So now I have no phone, please help

Well I think you are doing something wrong
I'm on Dirty Unicorns now and it's fine. Try this for Dirty Unicorns:
Flash stock ROM FTF
Unlock bootloader (no need if it's already)
Root
Install recovery
Move the ROM to the internal SD
Boot to TWRP recovery (not CWM)
Wipe dalvik and cache
Wipe system
Wipe data
Install the ROM and GAPPS
For others do the same steps BUT flash the kernel via fastboot first (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
Flash the kernel only if this step mentioned in the OP
