I'm picking up a zl today to replace my broken one xl i was running a pac rom on it and was wondering if there are any good pa style roms good for daily use
Also do custom roms have the ir working? Like cm or pa roms?

You need to make sure that the bootloader is unlockable on the phone before you get it if you want to flash custom kernels and CM based roms.
Some models of the ZL are unlockable, some aren't.
Do your research before you buy, or you'll end up with a locked bootloader one like me
Thanks for the reply is it based on model number or does it depend on your carrier? I'm getting it from rogers in canada

Your bootloader will be locked. It depends on carrier.
Thought it might be rogers sucks. Is there any other way to unlock it like how the xperia arc could be unlocked using test points and a program

Actually you can only if the device model is c6503. My device is c6503 and it came with a no bootloader unlock. Well i did'nt give a **** to it and i unlocked the bootloader.

That's because your phone came already unlockable bootloader. You didnt change it from No to Yes. Some phones have it say No and it is still possible, it just give incorrect information. But most Rogers Sony phones you cannot unlock the bootloader.

Noooo don't do it. Lol
Not much in way of custom ROMs go for something else with more development support. It's pretty dead here.
Lol I've seen you can change dpi on the zl that's basically all I wanted a Pac Rom for lol so I'm good now

What are your thoughts on the new xperia arc s release? Im extremely annoyed as only 2months ago i tied myself into a 2 year agreement with O2.
Theres no need for there to be this arc s. If you have unlocked bootkoader you can run it at 1.4ghz. Just seems like a gimick but us arc owners should benefit from the new arc's firmware seeing its pretty much the same hardware

But when you unlock your bootloader isn't it dangerous to do OTA updates ?
When do we get the update again dose it role in about a month from now or sooner ?

New update is out in October along with the Arc S, and when you unlock the bootloader by the official SE way the updates cease to come through and you also lose some other things, if you need to unlock the bootloader the best way is to find someone with a SEtool and do it(and that way you can still get your updates!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1243207
There's no more RAM
There's no more internal storage
There's no point
WTF still no front camera. what the hell SE thinking

You can relock your bootloader for the update, then unlock it again afterwards I think.
I want to buy a cheap xperia ion from ebay(at&t version), I live abroad, and I've found alot of cheap xperia ion's there...
Can I buy at&t xperia ion(LT28at) and unlock it? because I've found alot of sellers on ebay which they claim that they will give me unlock code to unlock it...
Or can I unlock it by myself using: (rooting, unlocking bootloader or anything like that)
BTW I'm experienced in rooting and stuffs...
Thank you all!

Bootloader will be locked and you can't unlock it. You can get unlock codes so you can use it on other networks though.

Thank you so much!
Another thing, Can I get rid of at&t applications? And do I get updates on the system via internet?
Can I install any custom roms on it?

You can install roms that are based on the stock kernel only. You can root it to remove at&t apps without issue.

Check the wiki (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Sony_Xperia_ion) to see if your networks works with any of the bands that the phone does.
Hey guys, just wondering if this phone will work in New Zealand on 2Degrees(Vodafone)? Looking to buy it from eBay as it's like $200 cheaper than the shops here.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/DOCOMO-Sony...1099599778?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c32193fa2
Specifically that one ^^, they mention something about DoCoMo and making sure it will work in your country before buying....
You guys are always awesome, thanks for any help you can provide, my wife would be very happy with me if she got this and could finally replace her HTC Tattoo!.
It's already Unlocked Bootloader, isn't it ?? If yes, you won't have bravia engine

I just wanted to know if this phone will work on Vodafone in NZ, am I correct in understanding that if the carrier is unlocked, then it will work on any network?
Not sure why you are mentioning the bootloader and bravia engine....
I'm Currently using an XSL in New Zealand on Vodafone perfectly fine See of no reason why the Acro would be any different.

i think i will root the phone (one v) since i heard a lot of bad comment from other user after used the phone more than 2 months. btw, why u recommend the DHD instead of one v?

IMo, it wins coz of its screen size although the resolution is same i think
saw the DHD forums and it seems it has many ROMS out there
But if u choose the One V, you'll not regret it
Gr8 ROMS by 1cebox and more to come
one v has a gr8ter "battery capacity"
Even in this day of newer phones, the DHD is still a great phone. I loved the DHD, and wish I still had mine. Great development for it, that's my reason.

Anyone used both phone before? Which phone camera is better? I know One V is 5mp while DHD is 8mp. But DHD is 2010 phone while HOV is 2012, maybe got different 5mp camera last year and 8mp camera 3 years ago? Which camera win?
go 4 DHD
DHD.I have both phones and the DHD eats up the One V.The DHD is super fast and has a pretty good camera as well.
Just make sure you don't stay on the stock ROM on the DHD.Unlock your BL and flash away any 4.2 rom.

you don't need to root it, just unlock the BL, if it's on latest f/w in order to flash any ROM you have to unlock the BL first.you're gonna need latest hboot to unlock BL from htcdev, so make sure you have .0029.

also depends whether your bootloader is unlockable too

Imho, if you have a locked bootloader device you should go with Trinity Vengeance RaptorXL. It's an excellent ROM.

i suggest trying different roms first
never know, you may find something you like
