rooted Z1 with automatic system updates

Hey
I have C6903 with boot-loader unlock enabled (didn't touch it).
Currently I am running unrooted stock rom.
I want to root my device but I don't want (and don't have the time) to flash an updated rom each time android gets updated
long story short..
I want to get automatic system updates on rooted device without rerooting or reflushing my device.
In addition I would like to keep using some of sony's features (like stamina mode) but erase the rest.
thanks for the help!
Sent from my C6903 using xda app-developers app
It is not possible. All the System Updates will wipe your Root. To keep Root you will have to do it manually all the time when a Update will be available. Apps updates like Walkman ecc.. You will can update them Automatcally.

What is the closest solution to my request?
You send me your phone in the post so I can do it for you.
I mean, in all honesty, how busy do you have to be so that flashing a rom is too much trouble for you.
You could have it rooted and flashed in the time between your two posts in this thread

OK, yes, I can use titanium to backup and restore it all, but how can I figure out what is the most recommended rom dioxide stock or custom rom) for Z1?
I don't want to start trying them all..
My only request is satisfying buttery usage (I also like sony's dialer but I probably can install it on any rom).

In my Opinion when you will get a 4.3 or 4.4 Rooted and Deodexed Android and it satisfide your needs, then any Update is unecessary.
Stock is good.
Updates make huge changes and sometime they are not the right choice.
Like a new phone come on the market then is the same with Android.
You don't have to buy it.
Am I right?
what is LB-UB?

Keeps FC on me when going into the settings. Uninstalled the old one, cleared data, wiped cache, installed the new one.... FC still.
Re-downloaded, reinstalled, FC at settings still. But going into the sound settings from the phone's settings menu has no issues. Reinstalled the old version and works fine

Sony's background defocus app when I last used it was godawful and failed 90% of the time, Google Cameras version works much better and more of the time.
But to be honest when you can simply take a photo and snapseed the defocus then why bother faffing with defocus at all when taking the picture?
Have you asked if this includes it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-sp/development/rom-z3-experiencesp-t3039228
Doesnt state it but includes everything else not sure why Camera app and add ons wouldnt be there.

Unfortunately that's one of the caveats of modifying the device.
It breaks system integrity and causes issues with the keystore.

There are lockscreen apps available that give some protection or you can try this:
