Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.

I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

[STOCK][UBL] Android 4.3 Long Winded Rooting Guide

Hello guys, i have been playing around with the new offical 4.3 rom, I have found a little way for now to get rooted, take a look below...
***Disclaimer, I am not responsible if you blow up your phone, loose data, or do anything silly, I am merely trying to help, and point people in the right direction***​
Okay it's a long winded approach to get rooted, but i guess it will have to do for the time being... Until a new updated rooting tool is available.
Here we go then , you will need these things:
SuperSU Install zip
Doomkernel v08 kernel.elf file
Stock Sony 4.3 kernel, attached to this post.
UBL (Unlocked Boot Loader!)
A brain and common sense.
Lets go then, first install the stock android 4.3 FTF....
Once this is done disconnect your phone, put it into fastboot mode and install the Doomkernel. Now upon boot, go into recovery, and install the SuperSU zip normally.
Once this is done, power off your phone (Holding down the power and volume up)
Go into Fastboot mode again, and install the provided stock Sony 4.3 Kernel.
Unplug your phone, boot it, and there you go, rooted stock android 4.3.
If you have any questions ask, no question is too stupid, or PM me and i'll help you best I can.

Reserved for more information, FaQ ETC...

I guess its only for unlocked bootloaders, because after flashing custom kernel on locked BL xperia, it won't boot.

No this method is only for Unlocked bootloader.

V7 should work just fine, all we are after is the recovery to flash the SuperSU

Thanks a lot it's working
Never did before on sony and the biggest problem for me was entering in recovery, so just in case, to enter recovery, when LED is pink press {vol up for 2012 models} or {vol down for 2011 models}

HELP ME!
HELP ME!
I tried this method on my Xperia V. I flashed the kernel then accidentally booted into android. Soft bricked. So I flashed back Sony kernel.
Working now but now there is something wrong with the screen.
I'm not sure what's wrong but it looks like the gamma is too high. I'll post a picture.

build7 always brick my phone
hi
i'm trying to install build 7.
My phone has locked bootloader. Installed version is #build6.
I have used philz recovery to flash build 7. To flash #build7 takes 2 minutes long.
After flashing, i reboot the phone using reset recovery option of philz.
Phone gets stuck, black screen, without sony logo, and i have to reflash to .207 stock rom using flashtool.
What am i doing wrong?
thanks in advance.

I guess it just happens sometimes. When I first flashed build #6 with twrp, everything went well, but something must have got corrupted along the way as the phone was stuck on Sony logo, and the screen just went gradually from orange tint to black from there on with continuous reboot loop. Fresh install helped though. And I've done everything the same.
Go back to stock,root, install recoveries, wipe cache, dalvik and system and install build #7. Should work just fine.
P. S. Another question from me, maybe not entirely related to only this ROM, but to flashing ROMs while using link2SD in general, as I'm sure some of you guys are using it. Is there any way to avoid some apps getting totally borked after each update? I know you need to recreate the mount scripts after flashing, but it just doesn't work for select apps each time, and I have to go through a tedious process of unlinking each one that is screwed, rebooting, and relinking. It's getting annoying with weekly updates (Thumbs up MRSteve <3).

Not sure if it's an issue with the nightly build you were working with this time, or something's actually wrong with build #7, but I don't seem to be able to install any CM Theme.

This ROM or CM11 Official ?
Wich is better ? Keep my bootloader locked and use that ROM or unlock my bootloader and flash the latest CM11 Official Snapshot (M11) ? Few months, i flashed CM11 for locked bootloader and I had lot of anoying bugs/freezes. Can I expect better with that ROM ?
Thank's and sorry for my bad english.

This ROM is completely stable, and has no apparent bugs whatsoever. The only thing I noticed is worse than stock is the battery life.

Why on earth did you do that!? You'll need a computer with you. You will sadly however, have to start from the beginning. Get a stock ROM .ftf, flash it via Flashtool, then start over (root, install CWM, flash CM11 weekly build by MrSteve555)
The reason why your phone is bricked is because you have flashed a ROM for unlocked bootloaders (this being said is the M11 that you updated your phone). Your device does not have an unlocked bootloader. It does not start up due to the kernel installed on your phone is not stock (cyanogenmod's official kernel of course). On locked bootloaders, using a custom kernel is impossible and will cause bricks.

I haven't used Official CM11 on my SP, as my bootloader is locked, so it's not me to ask. For me, the phones eats through battery really fast, with screen on, it's like 10 minutes for 1%. Definetely not a days worth of use when gaming.

BT problem
Hi,
I don't know where to ask this question, searched for answer but didn't find any. I have a problem with all nexus roms, when I'm connected to my Bluetooth hands-free and use a voice dialling, after I disconnect from BT, I can't hear anything on my phone speaker until I restart it. Anyone else had this problem? Currently I'm on Paranoid rom, .205 kernel with pico gapps and I installed google search from the market.
Also Paranoid rom soft reboots often when I'm in Settings->Applications, anything about this?
And Android system consumes most of my battery, about 35% but battery life is about 4-5 hours so it's ok.
Thank you for your answers.

Does not boot for me. (tried to reflash three times already)

pac rom
Afer flashing the last update of pac-rom, i've got a boaloop (clean flash) i was in omnirom.

Failed flashing .207 kernel on my Sony Xperia SP C5302 | Dead Phone?
So I planned to use PAC ROM on my Xperia SP C5302, so i flashed the given kernel from here using CWM (Clock World Mod) and it makes my phone bootloop.
After managed to turn my phone off by holding power button and push the off button on the back of the phone until a vibration occurs, i searched another kernel on the xda forum and downloaded kernel for my c5302 (kernel_5302_205.sin). Then I flashed it with fast boot mode using flash tool.
After the last flash, now I can't do the following:
1. Turn the phone on
2. access CWM (Clock World Mod)
* No display or LED light when charging
When I hold the power on and the off button on the back of the phone, after a while the phone did vibrates but it didn't show any sign of hope besides the vibration even if I've wait for multiple times.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!
Thanks a lot

Thanks for your reply.
I had tried to get into fast boot mode and flash mode but failed.
SUDDENLY out of the blue, my phone's LED just blinks. Then I rushed trying to connect my phone to my laptop and green LED is showing. So, I flashed it with a kernel that works and successfully booted up the phone and got into CWM.
Then i proceeded with the next step to install the ROM, which is rebooting recovery. But suddenly my phone died, i think it's out of battery... I'll try it again later. Hopefully it works!

Move to SD Card
After finding out that there will be no official Kitkat for SP, I started looking for Custom ROMS and found PAC Rom. With the latest build, how can I move apps to SD card? I managed to do it on the previous build. I've been only using for only less than a month. Thanks

Hey I made an account to ask a quick question here.

Make sure you have a full backup of your device before doing anything else.
If you head over to the TWRP thread you will find a step by step installation guide to get TWRP installed, plus other important information.
You can flash any lollipop rom you like through TWRP just place the rom and gapps on your sdcard and follow the instructions provided in the roms thread.

Is there any Lollipop ROM for locked bootloader?

Unfortunately no

Sorry I don't understand what you mean, are you trying to change your ringtone and it won't change?
If your ringtone resets after a reboot move the file to your internal SD card and set your ringtone again.

What error did you get when flashing gapps? Did you check the md5 to make sure the download was ok?
What recovery are you using TWRP from the rom or something else?

any way to fix it please ? btw great rom thanks for your efforts

Very low volume
First of all, Thanks a tonne for this ROM! Lightning fast and performance wise it is the best. . But, the both internal and external speaker volume is very low. I know xperia Z has low volume, but volume in this is very very low.. Can't even hear the phone ringing! Any fix for this?

This could be caused by the FauxSound Control I added in the last build, I personally use Viper4android which improves both the volume and quality immensely.
I can try reverting the FauxSound Control in the next build to see if that helps.

Possibly but you didn't answer any of the questions I asked, which will help getting the problem resolved.
Did you try downloading a different gapps package? The Banks gapps linked in the first post work perfectly for me and I am assuming everybody else because nobody else has reported this problem.

If you are downgrading from 5.1 and having issues I would recommend a full wipe so format system, factory reset then flash the rom and gapps.

Search for the viper4android thread it has all the info there to get it installed.
You could try disabling NuPlayer in Developer Options to see if that helps with music playback, I disable it so viper4android can work correctly, I haven't experienced any issues with music stopping.

Stock Lollipop is out..
Umm, since the new update is out..wouldn't this mean you can fix the problem where you cant hear the other person when talking on the phone? or has this bug been fixed? Also, since lollipop stock rom is out wouldn't it help developers like you to improve the newer builds and make it more stable?
Also, are the unofficial builds still in testing or can it be used as a daily driver? Please reply ASAP because I have been itching to get lollipop for SOO long and am currently on cm 11 nightlies waiting for a stable cm12 builds to start rolling out..Thanks!

Call bug was fixed ages ago, as far as I am concerned this rom is stable for use as a daily driver.
Once Sony releases Lollipop for the c6603 and the kernel and blobs are available then developers far more capable then myself will begin upgrading our device to take advantage of the new release.

If this is stable, then why is this not on the official cyangenmod website? also, which developers will use the new kernel and blobs to improve this ROM?

This release is not on the CyanogenMod website because it is an unofficial release as clearly stated in the OP, you asked if the rom was stable for daily driver use which I replied it was.
You can quite easily find details of device maintainers for most roms on their respective websites or by looking for their official thread here on xda.
