What mods are you trying to install? I can tell you that some modifications don't like Sony firmwares... And that could probably be the cause.

SoftkeyZ was working for me on Android 4.4 CyanogenMod, so it probably has not been made to work with Sony firmware. And for the second mod, you already have the answer. It is only compatible with Android 4.4 and causes a system crash when installed on Android 4.3.
Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do.. Unless you know how to modify SystemUI and change the icons or port the Xperia Keyboard to android 4.3.
But, if you really want these mods, then install Android 4.4 CyanogenMod because it is compatible with a lot more Xposed mods and other applications..

You don't necessarily need to unlock bootloader to install custom rom, but I would personally suggest you to stay away from installing a custom rom if you have never done so earlier on any other phone and you aren't really an advanced user. Sony's 4.3 is quite good if you are lucky enough not to face lags. I would like to suggest some good modules for sony firmware which you might want to try out -
1) GEM Xperia xposed
2) Flat style coloured bars (for lollipop styled statusbar and navigation bar colouring)
3) GravityBox (you need to be a bit careful with this one)
4) Hide stamina mode icon
5) SEMC phone patcher
6) Xperia flip settings (replaces xperia toggles in statusbar with cyanogenmod styled ones)
Don't forget to read the module description before installing to understand what it does. Enjoy (Y)

[ROM][4.3jb][fw.199] -nonami- |update 4.3|18.03.|discontinued

Welcome xda'ler, here you will find NO Honami :silly:
I just like to share my modified Xperia T Rom. This is not Development.
4.3jb (for 4.1.2jb see second post)
This Rom should work without any problems! no big mods, no big fuzz...no big experiments.
This is my daily driver! Its good enough for me, so maybe some other person will like it.
I use the following rom as my base:
DaRk-L0rD's
{ROM}[STOCK][T][JB 4.3][9.2.A.1.199] Official Firmware - Rooted&Deodexed 14/3
For Install Instructions go there. READ DaRk-L0rD's thread, before asking. And atleast leave him a thanks for his work.

Changes/Modding:
As you maybe noticed, the Filesize is quiet small. You can expect i deleted many Sony Apps.
- no walkman, album, video, sonyselect and so on
- deleted many other apks (such as google contacts sync, google calendar sync, chrome, etc. etc.)
+ xperia home is included (themed some little parts, disabled home stage background, colorscheme)
+ included xposed installer and the tinted statusbar module. this module gives us a nice experience
+ reduced navbar height
+ lockscreen-maximized-widget backplate removed
+ added jellybean clock (light themed) (changed colorscheme a little bit)
+ modded systemui.apk (see screenshots)
+ framework-res.apk modding (some apps with dark theme will have a light theme now) ---> Screenshots
---> there are textcolorbugs, but nothing annoying.
+ Xperia Z1 Compact Stock Email Client (4.3) UK nice UI, imap push!
+ new sounds/ringtones
If you miss some App/Apk, simply grab it from the original deodexed Version in the noticed thread. Any other app, you can find in the playstore.

I myself do clean Installations most time! After some hours of let it settle and my personal configurations it works without problems. So i guess if you dont break it yourself, there shouldnt any problem.
But, better have backups and know what you do, ok?! Im not responsible if you break something. Works here and is my daily ROM!
Xperia T:
unlocked bootloader? then i think you know what you are doing. install the usual way
locked bootloader? install just like you would install the Rom in matt4321's thread

after Flashing Rom.zip
reboot, and wait. it can take a minute...or two... :fingers-crossed: (dont worry if your phone have a random reboot after first boot, ignore it)
first thing to do after booting: open LMT Launcher, accept root, activate touchservice, enable autostart touchservice
if you prefer the stock navigation bar: qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 --> you can delete this line in your build.prop, save it...
then reboot, you should have back your navigationbar
you can enable init.d support by open the universal init.d support application: Activate, Reboot, Done - battery, cache, sdcar, zipalign tweak
if you have that annoying network notification (enabled/disabled mobile internet blabla):
please flash that zip: CallRecordEnable_fixLTE_disableNETWORKnotify.zip
if you download it and use it, thank nicemblem
you want improve your wifi signal strenght? you can flash this:
WCNSS_TX_fw.67 and Baseband_fw_TX_fw.67_v33-52 (Xperia TX) (scroll down, look under "Baseband/Wireless in the thread)
no worry, flashing this shouldnt end up in errors, but you already know it.... having backups is nice
there is no doubt, my wifi signal strenght is obviously better. try that out, and please leave a thanks for peetr_ in his thread.
if you prefer sonyHome, then i recommend using -advanced xperia Z launcher-:
advancedZlauncher_nonamitheme.zip - 2.84 MB (themed for better fit nonami-colorscheme)
flash the .zip in recovery [includes home.apk and musicwidget.apk (light)]
my observations: this launcher works more smooth than the original xperia T home.apk.
some of the features:
User selectable desktop and App drawer grid size (from 3x3 up to 12x12)
User assignable swipe, pinch and double tap gestures and button actions
Infinite scrolling
Hiding apps on the app drawer
Here are some screenshots of my modifications

This looks nice, will it work with status bar flipper mod ? i love that mod, so would like to keep it if i flash this rom.
Thanks.
Hi, i can not guarantee that this mod will work.
I guess flashing the mod will end up in issues. Im not sure how it will work with disabled navbar. Hmhm
But i was thinking to integrate the mod in the rom, i just wanne wait for a later modversion. and i need doing bit more research doing integration.
If you wanne try the rom, then better backup, before flashing that mod. trial-and-error principle.

For anyone wanting to run it on the TX, my phone has an unlocked bootloader, so i don't know if that makes any difference to whether it will work or not. Other than that i just installed the ROM through CWM and then installed the patch straight over and it booted straight up. I have also installed some of my own mods which are also working great.

s3 style notification toggle for xperia T

I am wondering if there is a way to change the notification toggles with rooted xperia t, What I want is sound, bluetooth, wifi, mobile data, settings, led flash, gps and reboot obviously the xperia has all them bar the flash, reboot and gps.
When using my fiances s3 I notice she can scroll across on the notification toggles for additional toggles
I have used both power toggles and notification toggle apps which work great, but I would much prefer a mod which makes the toggles look part of the phone and use a single bar rather than having to have a second line of toggles.
I have come acrossd this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381290 however I dont like the 4.3 style toggles, I much prefer the single bar of toggles which can simply slide across and are on view everytime you pull down the notifications rather than having to press an additional button or making sure I pull down from the far left/right of the screen
Thanks in advance
look in the themes and app section for the lidroid modification. I believe this is what you want.

Thanks I ran into a slight problem though as my phone is running a stock odexed rom, so I got the systemui error message
I managed to delete systemui.odex and everything worked fine for about 10 seconds and then i got the same error and the menus dissapeared again grrrrr
So I am flashing my phone with flashtool as we speak to start again, Im guessing I have to get the phone fully deoced before I start?
Thanks

Thanks Greg in the end I have used CMW to flash the phone again with a rooted and deodexed rom then used CMW again and installed the lidroid mod and it works an absolute treat, really happy.

HELP for themes

Is there any way to create or/and install a theme on my phone, which is not rooted.
The version of my phone is 9.2.A.2.5.
Thank you.
There are guides in XDA, you can search for it.
It it possible at all to install self-created themes on 4.3 without superuser mod?
Being a former stock 4.3 user, I dont think so. Only the theme wallpapers would work in that case. :/

[Q] various about lockscreen

I guys I googled already but couldn't find solutions to my "problems"... hope you can help.
first of all I'm on stock latest fw .77. I would like to remove the xperia lockscreen and get it replaced by the aosp one, but couldn't do that. in the past, in sony 4.3 fw, there was an apk in /system/app that could be easily removed to get aosp lockscreen, now I don't see that apk anymore (xperialockscreen.apk or something like that.. tried removing keyguard.apk but then I don't have any lockscreen at all anymore).
so I tried xperia xposed by @serajr , and I can then replace the sony lockscreen with a sort of aosp one, but not really the aosp one, as I get 3 unlock shortcuts I don't need at all (search etc) and I can't change them via gravity box do you know how to get the pure aosp kk lockscreen?
other thing, while I am still on the xperia lockscreen, I would like to find a way to hide the "swipe to unlock" text... what I found so far is only for older sony fw, not for the latest kk one.... do you know if that is something already done by someone so I won't need to decompile, recompile etc?
edit:this one fixed thanks to @Gustavo RD78 's mod
TIA!!!
dunno how exactly, but sometimes in aosp lockscreen I could see the custom shortcuts I did set up in GB, sometimes not, only the 3 icons (search, mute, unlock).
problem is that even when I could see the custom shortcuts, they were not active, I mean unlocking the phone through those custom shortcuts did nothing, and could not unlock the screen anymore... really can't understand why sometimes I see them and sometimes not
well installed this great app that has all I need... great!!!
