Hi Z3C fans,
got this great phone some days ago. I successfully rooted it with this howto. After root i flashed this Debloated ROM .
I dont like the Sony Themed Stock rom. What is the best daily driver ROM? CM 11 is not avaible for z3c, right? Or should i just wait some time?
PS:
Do i need to unlock the bootloader, to flash CM12? Haven't figured out...

Don't post questions in General section, there is a Q&A section for a reason.
If you don't like the Sony Themed Stock Rom, I guess based on the looks, why don't you try different themes? There are so many things that you can change.
For CM you need to unlock your BL because it uses another kernel.

Hi everyone,
I would like upgrade my CyanogenMod but on official website is just old version on kernel Android 2.3.7.
So, there is my question.
If I want new Android, must I download new CyanogenMod (official?) or stock rom?
And if you have answer on my question can you post link too, please?
Thx
Sorry for my english

Since our phone is old there is no official support for CM, therfore later versions do not exist officially. Under dev section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1028 in Inc s there is some CM 9 and CM 10 roms which is made by ours devs. You can see their respective threads what bugs they have and so on. A dev has managed to run latest kernel on CM 9. He is working on CM10 (there is a thread Cyan Vivo X) however still not released so if you wait maybe a week or two I bet he will be done with what he is doing and realease somewhat bugfree rom.
So I tried it. There are few problems but it looks fine.
Previously I owned a rooted Xperia arc. At that time, almost all custom roms used to mention supporting kernels. But here in Z1 development, I found that Custom Roms don't mention whether they run on stock kernel or DEV Kernel.
I want to know it because if custom roms are running on stock, then I skip Unlocking the boot-loader. If they running on DEV kernels, how ll I know which kernel for which rom ??

hi guys i'm new here and in android world ! i have a sony Xperia TX ....a bliss !
how can i flash custom roms ( suggest me the best actually ). and guide me through !
i'm not familliar with android terminology lol
i am running 9.2.A.1.215 , rooted, recovery installed
thanks
I'm using CM11 m9 based on 4.4.4. I use ART environment, not dalvik.
It's as stable as stock or even better; seems to be as good in terms of battery life as stock rom as well.
The only thing I miss from Sony stock rom in Cyanogen is Sony camera app. All efforts to port it to CM have failed so far.

Hi folks, I have an Xperia SP for almost 3 years, I decided to change the ROM (finally).
So... I'm on the Android rooted 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254 , couldn't do the upgrade to 4.3 because of my internet connetion.
I would like to know if there is a smooth and stable rom which have all things working (including the LED Bar).
Oh and on Android Kitkat or Lollipop if it is possible.
Sorry For anything I did or said wrong, I'm new here, and my English is not very good
And I never flashed a smartphone before.
Thank you !
I used lots of roms and here is the veredict:
For KitKat: Vanir ROM(the most stable and functional rom of all)
For Marshmallow(lollipop was almost abandoned by devs ): CM13 SABERMOD is reallyyyy smooth and stable.
Both worked with Discolight app...
Sorry for bad english,I'm Brazilian...

There are many ROM we have for xperia SP due to dedicated efforts of devs ..Thanks to all of them :good::highfive:
I have used most of roms and found all stable and each of them have their own characteristics & Each rom description says about stability and working features of it.
so its totally depend on you which one you want to flash.
For 6.0-6.1 based rom check below thread:-

only thing you should look for before flashing any rom is it suitable for boot-loader status or not..means if your boot loader is locked then flashing roms made for unlocked boot-loader may take you in bootloop.
What is the best solution for SP with not unlockable bootloader.
on my aunt´s SP stock firmware 4.3 JB is pretty much slow, I was looking for CM 13 first, but I cannot unlock bootloader unfortunately , then I looked for CM 12/12.1 but seems SIM is not working, so I gues, no phone calls?
Is there anyone in the same situation as me. guys what do you suggest?

Hi all
I haven't been on the xda scene for a while and haven't bothered with mods for a few phones now, but my A2 is getting laggy with age and i want to keep this phone a bit longer.
Can someone please tell me if a custom kernel can be installed straight on a stock android 10 rom, without having to root and install custom roms.
Also will OTA will work with custom kernel (if possible)
I already have an unlocked bootloader.
Regards
