[Unlocked Bootloader][4.3.1][ROM] CM10.2 With Xperia Z Media Apps [Jan16] - Xperia Z Android Development

This is a tweaked versions of cm-10.2.0-yuga so all credit goes to the Cyanogenmod Team for the ROM.
If like me you unlocked the boot loader without backing up TA partition (DRM Keys) you will notice that some key features are not working with the default firmware like Miracast. This ROM gets back many of the features you would of lost when unlocking the boot loader.
Changes Made:
Added Motorola Launcher with Circle Widget and KitKat 4.4 Launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Added Kitkat Camera
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Facebook contact sync working.
KitKat Apps. Google Now, Hangouts with integrated SMS, Calendar, Keep ect.
Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread + many others.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
Any more issues please report them.

So these apps just work without having to need the framwork files? Or the other apps like the SemcDlna.apk, SocialEngineFacebookShareFrwkPlugin.apk, SocialEngineFlickrPlugin.apk, plus the many others to get the media apps working on a none stock Rom.

Click thanks if you like my ROM - Please leave feedback too! - Please donate if you can! My ROM development is so hard as I only have an Arc which is broken! The touch screen is faulty in places so if you donate I can test more and make many more stuff for you all!

Look in the general section, you will see it there, or just google "xperia arc baseband collection xda"
This ROM is pure speed and nothing special. It has the normal music player. Its basic excluding battery percentage and quick toggles. You can then install add-ons to make it unique for you

thanks! i am curious so i tried installing this, but i wasn't successful. i put doomkernel v22, format data/cache/dalvik, and installed the rom.
however after the progress bar gets filled, its just hanged (see attached pic).
long press on the power restores control back in CWM main menu, and i did format data/cache/dalvik again, then finally reboot.
after that, the phone just remains hanged on the doomkernel logo.
EDIT : i tried Xperia Plus Version 9, and the same issue happens. just for isolation i tried reinstall arconium 8.2 and it installs without that problem.
any suggestion?

I am trying to fix it in v10 of xperia plus and v1.10 of xperia slim. Just testing v1.10 now

Yeah I'm sorry, because of a fail during format /system, those apps stayed in the ROM. I reformated all and now no one of those apps are in the ROM.
That's why I said "forget it sorry"!

It appears that this mod is only for FXP235.
I tried to flash it again in FXP236 and I got a bootloop as well.
I think FXP made some changes to the framework or something in their update...

Changes Made:
Added Motorola Launcher with Circle Widget and KitKat 4.4 Launcher.
Replaced stock gallery with Sony Z Album and Movie app (Facebook & Twitter integration working.)
Added Sony Z Walkman app with UPNP/DLNA Media Server.
Added Moto X Camera, some features not working. See link for details.

Forced all rendering to be done on the GPU. Should help with gaming and make things more smoother.
GoogleEars.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot. Only does a few programs each boot. So may take a few reboots to calibrate all of them.
Plus many improvements taken from this thread + many others.
I also added some terminal commands.
Run each command with SU first then the command.
fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition
v6 - run the V6 SuperCharger script. I have tested this but it seems to make no improvements.
Know bugs
Not a bug as such but something you should be aware of. It does take a few reboots to optimise all the apps.
On first boot you need to hold down the power button to reboot the phone (I normally do this at the setup screen). You only have to do this once and will reboot fine afterwards.
Any more issues please report them.

[Unlocked Bootloader][4.3][ROM] Tweaked 569 Stock Rom With AOSP Feel V3 [Jan18]

This is a tweaked versions of 10.4.B.0.569 Official ROM. As it includes a Kernel with Philz Touch CWM the Bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Changes Made:
Fully Deodexed/Busybox/Rooted. To odexed rom flash this.
Added Nova launcher, AOSP Keyboard and AOSP Browser to give the ROM a more AOSP feel. (Sony Launcher and Keyboard still included.)
Xposed & GravityBox included to help get a AOSP look.
Replaced the default kernel with [Yuga][.569 Stock kernel][UB][CWM Advanced Edition][PhilZ Touch] by shoey63.
Added BeatsAudio and ViPER4Android.
Modified Adobe Flash 11.1 with Hulu support.
Host level ad blocking.
Kick Ass Kernelizer
Auto-zipalign and defragdb on boot
Auto Calibration on boot.

fixfc - Fix apps force closing.
sclean - Clean the dalvik cache and cache partition

On first boot the phone will freeze and reboot. When it reboots you will see an error image then the screen will go black. Don't worry, it is booting but you won't be able to see the bootup animation. This will only happen once and will boot normally afterwards.
V4A XHiFi will only work with the Walkman app when you select "FX Compatible Mode" in the options. For any other music players select "Normal" in the FX Compatible Mode settings menu. Can take up to 5secs before it kicks in.
In Philz Touch CWM go to "PhilZ Settings" and turn off "Verify Root on Exit". This will prevent Busybox from getting deleted. If you didn't do this and Busybox got deleted the version you want to install is V1.20, not the latest version. The latest version doesn't work with the Flashhex script I included.
Any more issues please report them.

Um, since you added nova launcher, did you remove the main xperia launcher?
If you didn't remove it, would it be better if I were to freeze the launcher myself using titanium backup? Cause having two launcher would significantly drain the battery life.
Do I have to install the supercharger script upon the first boot via terminal emulator or will it automatically install?
Also, did you tweak the build.prop to smoothness & battery saving or should I do it myself? #edit: opps sorry, i missed out ur last point. lol

Not a lot of feedback on this ROM. Thought I would of got a few comments by now. Pretty new to the Xperia Z Development but find it hard to believe it's this dead. The Nook HD+ forum seems to be more active and has less users..

Nah, its just that people in Xperia Z is relatively slow to changes. People in this forum would rather stick with development that has great amount of views, replies and so on. e.g: look at existen, within few hours theres a page of comment. Also, unless you provide a fancy features with great screenshot, they don't feel like giving a shot at all. But if I must say, our development is pretty much dead compare to others.
Ok, if you want some feedback...
I think people are enjoying the official 4.3 by Sony, and I cannot see enough improvements in your rom, but instead it has some drawbacks like being deodexed, beatsaudio, which is not for everyone, and some bloatware here and there. Why flash a new rom when I could manually install the 2 or 3 things I like?
Also, aosp looking roms don't have much success here, if we'd like it we would have bought a cheap nexus phone. There is a thread about Android UI vs Sony UI, and most people don't give a sh** about pure Android.
No offense, just an opinion.

I though this too, but then I realised this is for unlocked bootloader only.
At least to me, the script included in this rom is something new. In fact, I see it as improvement.
Would suggest to other who tried to rom to freeze the xperia home launcher (if they prefer AOSP look) to save some battery juice though.
If its too bloated, go here:

Otherwise if you have the knowledge, just remove bloated apps yourself.

Lol I didn't see that. Op should make one for locked boot loader as well.

The problem is that, the script will only work with certain version of busybox which the kernel (shoey63) provided. In fact, to flash the custom kernel you have to unlocked your bootloader.
Also, from what I've seen, the script does not WORK fully (maybe partly) as the script is used to optimize old phones with single/duo-core specs. With our Xperia Z specification, the script practically did a little or less. Other than that, the rom does provide as to what it claimed.
I may be wrong, i'm not entirely sure.

This should work with locked bootloaders. It will come up with an error at the end of the install when it trys to install the kernel.
All you need to do is flash the ROM then use Flashtool to flash 'C6603_10.4.B.0.569_Stripped.ftf
http://d-h.st/SLc
I haven't tested this but I can't see no reason why it wouldn't work as long as you flash a 10.4.B.0.569 kernel with Flashtool.
Updated ROM.
Limks up and working.

or
https://dl.twrp.me/i9082/twrp-3.0.2-0-i9082.img
Btw, there is some boot loop error, which Opti is aware of.

yeah,i was going to edit it. my internet suck today.
im testing the rom right now,im from chile,here we have i9080l device,is the same as i9082l,so i hope works good on my device.
well so far so good,i have i9080l device wich is the same as i9082l device. ive followed all the instructions and no random reboots.only a few minor bugs changing wallpaper and stuff,im looking for a rom with low ram usage so i will test this rom a few days and then come back.
@CriCroCra @OptidroidPlus still using it.sometimes random reboots,not big deal,but the gps doesnt work.i use opera and ecosia browsers,doesnt work in both.
I have to say i saw a weird thing,in phone model says gt i9505 .i see that you have a rom for that model too,maybe you switched roms by error,i dont know.maybe thats the reason for some people experienced more bugs than me.
But i will still use this rom,remember i have i9082l device.
