First of all, every custom rom (based on custom kernel) requires an unlocked bootloader and as the bootloader unlock breaks the camera that functionality will be lost in each and every custom rom until Sony fixes the issue.

Sorry.

Yeah there are a few, under android development section that only require root.
monxDIFIED has been one of my fav's since Xperia Z

Bump, same question as topic.
My wifes z1c has camera and battery issues, i need a rom that just works, no bells or wistless, just that it works, all of it. Besides that, battery is the second most important thing.
Any advice on ROM, kernel, mods etc?

How is the official cyanogenmod?

Have any one tried the official cyanogenmod for xperia sp? (nightly build)
And how is the battery life and preformance?

downloading and will test
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------
Ok there is offical cm kernel, with sony logo, this rom is booting and works. There is Android OS battery drain fix so should be ok. This is android 4.4.2 not 4.4.3 yet, works fluid. You can install and try it its safe. http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/get/huashan-latest.zip
You can enter recovery by volume up button :3
Antutu test passed without reboot twice, points: 20382 and 16656
2d performance good, 3d medium for now ( 3d performance jumps)
There is updated theme engine.

U can always install Sony launcher, system ui and all apps. I have installed Are ports on this forum for CM11. Now it's look like existenz but is super smooth

I am doing that too. You have quite some options since you have an unlocked bootloader.
I suggest you read the bug reports on the threads, maybe try a few ROMs to find the best one for you.
Or maybe you'd wanna wait for a more stable build of CM 12.

What do you want in your dessert? Jellybean, KitKat or a Lollipop?
Btw.since you are on ubl. Every rim will work, even the lbl ones

I downloaded liquid smooth last night thought I'd try it out I flashed it with pa stock gapps works great, no issues but not sure it will be getting any new updates? You get quite a few customisations with this ROM and xposed installer. I'll give it a few days then probably go back to cm11

So I'm still using liquid smooth rom and I think I'm going to keep using it.. It is so fast and hardly used battery. I'm using latest stock kk gapps no bugs what so ever I love this ROM. Liquid smooth rocks but... It doesn't look like there are any updates which is such a shame?

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.

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.

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.

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.

A Good KitKat (4.4) Rom for XSP ???

I've been using CM12 Sabermod for a few months now but lately my phone has started to lag a lot, I've experience the same problems with other Lollipop based ROMs too. I never had this problem in 4.3 but I had to move to 5.1 since some apps that I use daily required KitKat or higher.
So my question is - is there any good KitKat ROM for XSP? If yes, how can I get the best performance for multitasking?

Before change to KK, I should ask: Do you already flash the most recent build?
Another is: Have yout try move apps to SD card?
Another one: Try to clean Cache on the Settings -> Storage (and then Reboot)?
And Clean cache of some apps too manually.
Remembering that to flash a the most recent build, you doesnt need to Backup, BUT... Just for convenience do it.
If none of those above options function well for you, indeed there is a stable and fast KK to our lovely (and hated) SP.
Options I recommend: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64991746&postcount=1320
Or
Last release from CM Team
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=huashan&type=snapshot
Both are great in performance and multitask like the JB 4.3 Stock.

Is there a good one which has Stock features? As in it has the basic Sony apps. They were quite nifty.

I havent tried CM13 but cm12.1 never worked out for me properly, either low amount of ram/no deep sleep or other problems such as wifi.

Ok I'll try them out. But I'm looking for something based on the Xperia stock OS.

Hi, a clean wipe should be enough. I did factory reset / wipe data, format system, cache and data, wipe dalvik, then install in that order:
OmniX-Rom, recommended gapps, SU-update. Please confirm to fix super user when asked, then reboot into system. First boot will take some minutes (less than 5).

Which recovery do you recommend I flash for this?

I would try that rom if the led bar was working exactly as it does in the stock firmwares (you know, receiving phone calls, viewing images, making a call etc.). There isn't a way to duplicate that functionality level since it's cyanogenmod-based, right?
