I just rooted my phone using this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/guide-how-to-root-10-5-1-0-283-t2872873
Anyone have any recommendations on what to do next?
and why have you rooted your phone if i may ask
Good point, why root if you have no plans of how to use it?
Titanium Backup is always a good call. Maybe a custom ROM? You install a recovery manager?
I recommend installing these first:
- NUT's dual recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
- Titanium backup
- Xposed installer
- Xposed modules, such as GravityBox [KK]
Just be careful.
Oh and next time don't post the questions in general section.

now u could install apps like ...
ES explorer wich is more than useful to for example replace system apps with right permissions
Wakelocks Detector to track apps wich avoiding cpu to get into deep sleep
Greenify to hibernate them
Set CPU tu manage CPU freqs ...and make profiles screen on and off ...all this to increase battery life
U can now also use one of the most important tool once u get root ...apps like titanium backup, pretty useful when u start playing like harry potter with your device

You need to have unlock bootloader to flash most custom rooms.

@Wing126 bro
For CM11 or CM based roms u need a unlocked bootloader. And for other Sony stock based custom roms u can install in Locked Bootloader.
Unlocking Bootloader will void ur warranty ( in some countries) and also u will lose ur Bravia Engine 2. So if you have any plan to unlock ur bootloader means kindly backup ur TA partition. U can get TA backup tool from Sony cross development section. Best of luck.. Take care of your lovely XZ...
Have a nice day..

Yeah I don't think my phone can have an unlocked bootloader. I followed a guide to check if it can be unlocked and it pointed towards no. I checked the service menu to see.

Current cybershot mod isn't compatible with kitkat 4.4.2, only with 4.3 jellybean.
Don't worry, just boot to recovery, flash the rom you're currently using, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, reboot and hit thanks if it worked

Nice to hear this works on Z, but as title says it's for Z1, Z1c, Zu, so sorry I didn't found this but glad that you have found it and most likely I'm going to give it a shot.
However, it looks like there's no revert zip to flash and medhar87 seems to sit in an nasty situation so I'm just trying to help him out.
If you want the cybershot name just the name then you can download xsuite xposed module which lets you change the name but there wont be any cybershot mods

You can't call this SCREEEEN issue
Probably the system app * SystemUI.apk * is missing or deleted . if your device rooted and have recovery installed flash this
If it's just rooted then extract SystemUI.apk and move it to your device to System/priv-app and set the permissions to RW R R

Hi,
i have a Xperia Z1 with non-unlockable Bootloader. I just love AOSP-Roms but those Roms are just for UB. But can someone make a AOSP-Rom for LB? I think many Users would love that...
Please post questions in the Q&A section,
Thread moved
And to answer your question. No, it needs an unlocked bootloader as AOSP roms require a different kernel to the stock Sony one.
Just to add to the above answer: no, the kernel is different so therefore since you cannot flash a custom kernel on LB, you won't be able to use AOSP.
I think he means use Sony kernel but try port aosp to sonys firmware
And why it work for xperia sp?

well apparently you can flash kernel on LB on xperia SP, not on Z1.
If you think otherwise, show us how it's done

Well i can see that all of that "features" can be made only with root access and Xposed framework modules, and few mods.
Deep in framework, rom is still close to sony stock rom.
For example, everything you can make with apps or mods, except OTA update (for pac), and CM themes.
Everything else is pretty much on google play, and some mods on XDA.
If you want pure AOSP feel, you need to unlock bootloader, this is, how to say, kang version of PAC.
If you say me how to get the flip settings from AOSP on 4.4.4 i would be happy
There is an xposed mod for it

Yes its hardware difference in NFC modules, but maybe someone can help to port driver from one firmware to other, or show what files need to replace.

Why not just flash a stock FTF from a country other than China with Flashtool?
It seems the easier solution to me.
Edit - If you want to do this (and update to 4.4.4 at the same time):
4.4.4 stock roms - C6602 C6603
Guide here. Follow part 1 to install Flashtool drivers and part 3 to flash a stock rom.
