What's your favorite ROM with an unlocked bootlader? - Sony Xperia ZL

I've tried PACMan and ReVolt, but I always end up coming back to my stock rooted .253 backup. The latest nightly of PAC looks good enough, but had issues with root.
Is there a cleaned up .253 ROM without the Sony apps? What's your favorite 4.2.2 ROM?
I've been spoiled by the options (and ease of flashing and rooting) available for the Nexus 4, but I love the hardware on the ZL. I used PAC on the Nexus 4 so I'm looking forward for the ZL version to get better, and it has, so it's only a matter of time before a livable version is out. Many thanks to everyone who works hard on this.

CM 10.1 on ZL. Sony stock on tablet.

[Q] Xperia Arc S upgrading to vanilla ICS

Hi, I am wondering how to Flash vanilla ICS onto my Xperia Arc S. I got it directly from Sony via Amazon and doing some checks the boot loaders is unlocked out of the box as well as everything else.
My Xperia is using Sony's current ICS. However its UI sucks and its lacking many of ICS features especially the Contact Book which is replaced by Sony's own, which is worst than it was in 2.3.4.
So if some one can some one point me to right place to find more or less Stable ARC S rom that is battery friendly as well and has full ICS feel along with magority of apps from ICS

You have two options;
1. check if 4.0.4 is released for your phone via SI - http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/38388
2. flash an ftf via flashtool - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583010
I think 4.0.4 is quite stable and performs alright for myself, don't really use it for anything then texting and calls so couldn't comment on games. However if you did want a custom rom head over to the Dev section.

[Q] [Flash Question] Flash Xperia S Firmware on Arc S Possible?

Has anyone with more abilities than me tried flashing Xperia S on Arc s Phone?
I know nothing about packing and unpacking kernels and systems...
But if it serves as a meter on my experiences, I've flashed all of Arcs Firmwares successfully, unlocked bootloader, Installed Custom firmwares on it, Cyanogenmod (4.1 and 4.2.2), P.a.c (4.2.2), MIUI. All sucessfully and used them for a long time.
As I know from friends that Arcs firmware can be flashed on Arc. Neo L firmware can be flashed onto the Xperia Play etc...
So would you know if with a little bit of tinkering Xperia S could be flashed on Arc S?
Or, if it is just bluberish?

Better not to try. You might hard brick your device. That means, that your device will be unrecoverable.

[Q] Which 4.2.2 ROM and when is 4.3 coming?

Hey guys.
Coming from Desire S that went swimming, I found Ace 2 pretty similar, but missing more support in terms of ROMs.
In Desire S part of forum, there is a thread that has all the ROMs linked in one post, separated by android version. Could somebody do that?
Which ROM is currently newest and fastest?
Also, when can we expect 4.3 ROM to be available? Excuse my ignorance, but I really dont know what it takes for a ROM to be compiled on this device? I always thought that android is backward compatible with older devices..

answer:
1. all roms on 1 post are on ace 2 general section. please search before asking...
unfortunately, ace 2‘s jb still has lag eventhough already stable. Most people use CM..
2. Recent news, ace 2 only support until 4.2.2. source: www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18/galaxy-s-ii-galaxy-note-to-get-android-4-2-2-android-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/

Which one is "best"? Whats with that GPS bug?
4.2.2 is last for official version, but why cannot 4.3 be ported to this hardware? What are limitations?

1. you still can‘t use gps. I use sygic and when I opened it, it force closed automatically. no one is the best at this cm‘s rom because now there is only one cm builder (cm10 is dh.harald and cm10.1 is bagnzor. CM 10 is 4.1.2 and CM 10.1 is 4.2.2. eventhough both of them have bugs, you still can use it as daily purpose. you will get better explanation if you ask on rom‘s thread
2. 4.2.2 for ace 2 is only for CM version and for official is still prediction. Samsung has not release any official ROM 4.2.2 for ace 2, but instead they release ace 3. No further information whether this device will get 4.3 or not (don‘t know the limitation yet, but from the experience of jb I think ram is not high enough for 4.3 and samsung has already release ace 3 so it may be favored to it. From the news also known that samsung only release 4.3 for quadcore devices). So, if you want 4.2.2 but liked ace 2, go buy ace 3. if you want 4.3, go buy nexus series
Hey, actually I am still using the old galaxy 5, which supports officially only from, but one developer gave us cm7,9,10 and now 10.1!!!!

[Q] <NEWBIE> Is this phone hard to root etc.?

Hello,
I may go and buy this Xperia M but as of now, im using a Samsung Galaxy Mini which i rooted really easily just by clicking one button. But as for Xperia, i read that You need to unlock the "bootloader" . Well, if im going to unlock the bootloader, do i get some differences from the locked one? (I mean, will some stock stuff work?) And whats the difference between the Xperia M "C1904" and "C1905" ? And also, I havent seen popular ROMs like MIUI or other manufacturer ROM (Touchwiz, Sense ROMs etc.) to be ported’ or developed for the Xperia M. Well, when I think, the procedure to port those ROMs is same when i do this for my old Mini? Thanks For The Answers

Nope .too easy ,right now DEV'S found an easy way to root Xperia M really easy ..Using towelROOT ...it will do the rooting finish in 3 mins .
Rooting does not require you to unlock your booloader . But if you want to install custom rom's then you should unlock your bootloader for that .. :and there are like 10+ ROMS that can be apply in this PHONE .

Cm11 fxp builds are quite stable (latest one is fastest and bugless), there are different roms too and I am sure there will be more. You can follow development thread.
Despite this If you don't want to buy xperia m, you can go for motorola moto g.

I know about Moto G but they aren't selling that in Czech Republic Otherwise i would surely go for the Moto G. That's why I'm here, I don't know what to pick, performance (Xperia M) or for the one which have a bigger developer community (the S3 Mini). Btw. the S3 Mini has a 100% bugless CM11

You don't need to unlock bootloader in order to root Xperia M.
It is not hard to root the phone.
As for what device to buy, it is your choice. Depending on what you need and like you will have to make this choice by yourself.

Hey C126
I don't know if it is possible by an original Firmware as Sony haven't announced this.
Maybe our friends from XDA could develop a custom Firmware for 4.3 to LT26w.
Anyway, let me know if you find this new information too, I'm having a proximity sensor problem with my LT26w after I updated to JB (I asked for help in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56680427#post56680427) and I'm anxious for an update, custom or original, to try to fix this bug in my device!
