Hey Guys, I've owned various devices and always unlocked and installed custom roms on them, but this device doesn't have too much custom roms, soo actually I don't have unlocked yet, who already unlocked is it worth it? the roms available(custom and treble roms), and custom kernels have better performance over stock?

[Q] Which Kernel for which Custom Rom ?

Previously I owned a rooted Xperia arc. At that time, almost all custom roms used to mention supporting kernels. But here in Z1 development, I found that Custom Roms don't mention whether they run on stock kernel or DEV Kernel.
I want to know it because if custom roms are running on stock, then I skip Unlocking the boot-loader. If they running on DEV kernels, how ll I know which kernel for which rom ??

Hey, Community.
I was wondering, since the Kernel vis-a-vis Devicetree are available and the bootloader is mostly unlocked, how far have the building of custom roms and twrp progressed?

Has anyone successfully flashed custom roms on japanese versions of the XZ3?

I have the SO-01L Docomo version and want to try unlocking the bootloader using qunlocktool but I don't know if anyone has managed to flash and run custom roms on the japanese variants. Can someone tell me if I can flash custom roms after unlocking bootloader or not?
Currently
Which model do you have?
It's a bit of a pain for some rooms like the LineageOS 19.1 builds to have to flash each partition manually for the first install due to a bug but other than that haven't had any issues running any roms on my SOV39, even ones that don't explicitly support Japanese variants
