installing custom Rom

hey guys
i have xperia z c6602 its jb 4.1.2 and build number is 10.1.1.A.253
i have rooted it and unlocked bootloader but now i want to intall custom rom 4.2.2
iam not familiar with sony devices cauz i had htc phones .
now with these info i can easily install custom rom from recovery? no need any thing else ?
thank you.

please help ...

read the stickies and read the thread of the rom you want to install
if you are installing a stock based rom do it via flashtool, if its a custom aosp rom such as cm10 then read the instructions as you have to flash the boot.img first then follow the instructions

I was new to flashing custom ROMs but as long as you read and then re-read the instructions for the ROM you should be fine.

[Q] Xperia TX best and most stable 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.

Marshmallow for sprint m7 ,

Hello. , Roms have been coming out lately and I understand that most are in beta , but this particular device was said to have marshmallow development back when I asked in October , but the gsm models have had marshmallow cm13 for a while now , and has recently got a second build , that had been more than enough time to patch the Roms for Verizon and sprint m7 users , is there anyone out there that marshmallow for this particular sprint model m7wls , m7spr please and thanks

Good luck. Most of our devs have moved on to newer devices. We got to Lollipop. I ain't complaining. lol

which ROM are you using???
marshmallow on sprint HTC one M7??

Hey I am running marshmallow now on my M7. I got the rom from http://www.vanir.co/word/
What you have to do is download the latest lolipop rom first - then when that rom is installed there is a ota for the marshmallow rom. Its cm based and works pretty good. I have rooted it and am running xposed. The root for this rom is cool because you just go to developer options and turn on root access. No need to install SU as a separate app. Also, the ota is great. This may be the best rom I have installed yet to date.

You can find the latest version of Marshmallow here, http://www.emccann.net/nuclearmistake/VanirAOSPNightlies/m7spr/

Is it still required to first install Lilipop ROM instead of just installing the Marshmallow ROM right off the bat? I'd prefer to go straight to Marshmallow as is done in the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gyLF02rgFY

Their latest nightly will stand alone. Just install has you would any new rom. Be sure to use their gapps.

Can I install JB ROM if now I have a KitKat custom Rom?

Hi there, a few months ago I flashed a custom ROM and switched from the stock 4.1.2 to the CarbonRom 4.4.4
Now I'm having lags with it and I want to return to the stock ROM or install a JellyBean based ROM.
I read that it's not possible to install the ROM directly because I need to downgrade first, but I don't know where to start... is there a guide out there?
I tried searching on google and I read that it's not possible to downgrade because of bootloader things... Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance

official update?

Hello , is there any new of the official update on zuk z1 , its been awhile now ,
Is there going to be an official update from the cynogen community , should I wait or install some diff ROMs on my own( which I do not want to do )

I wouldn't count on it if you want a official update from cyanogen Inc. Even the last security patch is from a couple of months ago

Cyanogen's support is officially stopped. There will be no new updates so it's better to give up waiting. However, community builds will always be there.

Right!so can anyone share me a link on how to root and install ROMs ( good ROM) and all the risks and benefits involved in it
Thank you

I am using latest cm13 official nightly build on zuk z1 and everything is working fine and ROM is stable... Cyanogen is dead, don't count on it for future updates. Just unlock your bootloader and install twrp recovery and that's it, .. Enjoy
