additional a few more apps can also be deleted if u want to make space:

ARC & ARC S are same... i have removed some region specific customization apps to decrease space on /system partition...
also GAPPS might not be included...

Flashed this rom, it's okay, but I see there is no possibility of adding Google account. Please supply that when you can, it's core function. Thanks for the rom.
EDIT:
Ok, I've flashed http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip, and now I have google account.

Does it have Fast Capture feature?

I think this build does not have "Use wireless network for location" in Location & Security settings. That's strange.

Going to test this tomorrow, I need to know what is the difference with ICS beta

tested with DoomKernel ICS kernel 2 GHz and runs well
i just realized that there's no market

sorry about that!

PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT THREAD.
It is enough to press DoomLoRD's thanks button to express thanks.
This thread should be left clear for Devs to discuss possibilities of bug fixes and how best to proceed from here. If it is too heavilly spammed the development will slow down.
If you want to say more than that please use the thread in the general section here
I am not a moderator but I do work closely with them and I will help them to keep this thread clean of non-dev related spam.
Many thanks for helping
Greg

And just for an fyi this is nowhere near an official release - it is for brown devices, and not even intended for "red" (released) devices.
This is a great reference though for future releases - so thanks DoomLorD for posting

Any chance for locked bootloaders?

wow this is truely amazing! Very good job! Downloading the rom now..

Nice work, really looking foward to the locked bootloader one!
Thanks

I have one question.. what if I decide to flash this rom being LB? Should it work or will get a bootlop? Should I try?

99,9% sure you will get bootloop. Since you can not flash the kernel you will be trying to boot 4.3 with a 4.1 kernel. But hey, you can always try if you really want to

running 4.3 right now.. thanks a million @DooMLoRD!!!!!

downloading…….
thx DooMLoRD

Thanks for this, DooMLoRD! Although I'm on AOSP-based ROMS since day one I got my phone, it's nice to see things like this.
I have a question: I saw in the screenshot that there's a new baseband version in the 4.3 ROM. Is it possible to flash only the baseband in order to update mine?
I saw that this is a flashable .zip. Maybe if I flash this zip over my OmniROM build and then restore a recent TWRP backup I have?

More screenshots please

[ info ]
Hello friends,
so after the sneak peak, i present to you leaked Sony 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware 10.5.A.0.227 for the Xperia Z (C6602/C6603)...
this firmware was ment for developer (brown) devices but i was able to get it to boot on production devices...
THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADERS ONLY!
[ NOTICE ]
PLEASE TAKE A BACKUP ON EXTERNAL SDCARD BEFORE TESTING THIS ROM!!!
since this is an internal testing firmware, do not expect to see the same features on the official final release... some things could be added while others removed...
the firmware is still very laggy, i am sure the final release will be much better!
[ screenshots ]
most screenshots are posted here ​
[ WARNING ]
PLEASE DO NOT CROSSFLASH THIS ROM+KERNEL... this is ment only for C6602/C6603 (Xperia Z)... please do not flash it on ZL/Tablet Z/etc....
THIS IS AN LEAKED ROM AND NOT THE FINAL RELEASE VERSION
FEW THINGS ARE EXPECTED NOT TO WORK
THIS IS POSTED JUST SO THAT USERS CAN ENJOY THE UPCOMING FEATURES AND OTHER DEVS CAN HELP IN FIXING THE ISSUES
MORE THINGS WILL FOLLOW AS AND WHEN I/OTHERS CAN GET THEM TO WORK
DO NOT ASK FOR FURTHER UPDATES/ETA OF OFFICIAL RELEASE
please backup all data, including internal SDCARD data before flashing this ROM
[ why has this been posted? ]
DooMLoRD said:
many devs can use the libs to improve existing/work-in-progress ROMs...
many themers can start porting to ROMs/devices...
many users will get a feel of whats in store for the JB update...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[ features ]
Easy to flash update.zip via recovery
Prerooted and busybox installed
working CWM recovery is included in kernel
[ To enter recovery keep pressing VOLUME UP button AFTER u see the "PINK" LED at bootup (Sony logo) ]
usb debugging enabled
[ whats not working? ]
you tell me!
please report other things as and when you find them
[ requirements ]
unlocked bootloader
previously on stock .101 JB (4.3) ROM or roms based on that [since some components of THIS rom contain files from those firmwares]
supplied ROM
any existing kernel with recovery
OR
just extract the boot.img (contains inbuilt recovery) from the ROM i have uploaded and flash it using fastboot
[ how to install ]
download the ROM and save it on SDCARD
reboot device into recovery
flash the ROMs update.zip (this will take some time)
I RECOMMEND THAT YOU WIPE /cache WHILE IN RECOVERY!
thats it now reboot device
at first boot device the NFC firmware will get updated wait for process to be completed
after a few reboots the ROM should stabilize!
enjoy!
[ hot tip to reduce LAG!!! ]
Go to Developer Optioms in Settings menu (if this option isnot visible go to About Phone and keep tapping ~7 times on the Build Number, this will unlock Developer Options)
Disable all animations and select Force GPU render (check attached screenshot for reference)
Restart phone
The interface will become a lot smoother now!
Thanks to all those who sent this tip!!

I know this is selly but what will happen If I try it on a locked bootloader?

The universe as we know it will cease to exist. Or you could brick your device. Both very bad.

You will soft brick your device. The custom kernel needs an unlocked bootloader.

well when i tested i didnt even backup anything and it worked without wiping /data partition...
though i would highly recommend backing up your existing ROM on EXTERNAL SDCARD...

Any idea if/when T-mobile USA will get this update? Thanks.

Has anyone flashed the rom yet? and how is it for the first boot?

@DooMLoRD
Thanks for this, hope you don't mind, I've created an update for those who want to convert it to deodexed:
Download
MD5: 53b2239c9db9ea5a80cc2464343d5738
Just flash via recovery, no issues so far from what little testing I have done
Please don't mirror this as this will ONLY work on DooMLoRD's release.

Thx a lot ! so Screenshots and Pictures made on the internal SD card are(might be!) safe. thx.
P.S Backup of current ROM is for *******! Google Backup saves the Contacts, and all eles is unimportant xD

little warning guys: You must do a full wipe if you planning to go back to 4.3 ROMs So do backups before flashing this
Quick Feedback on ROM:
As DoomLords mentioned it's bit laggy specially when you pulling down status bar drop down menu.
Nothing really special compares to custom ROM such as eXistenZ which already implemented most of the UI changes. But if you coming from a stock ROM you will notice the changes.
Camera quality in superio auto in low light still looks the same.

Oh the joy of having an unlocked bootloader

is this laggy as hell like when playing an online game with ping = 2000 ms
or it can be lived with ?

Running this right now on my Xperia Z UK Generic with no problems apart from a bit of flickering just before the 'Xperia' logo on boot. The rom itself seems to run smoothly! It has working 4.4 transparency on Nova Launcher which did not work on 4.3 but did on 4.2 and many other 4.3 bugs have been patched...its looking really promising
Thank you for this demo version @DooMLoRD I can't wait for release
