Hi I want to use the new release Kitkat 4.4 ROM for Xperia ION posted on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590849
How can I install it if I have my bootloader locked @MrGezz @RaymanFX @Optimus @ARNOB @AshRoller
Please I want to use and test this ROM.
Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately you can't without the custom kernel which requires the bootloader to be unlocked.
Also, tagging the other devs and members for a common question is not a good thing
Hey this project has bin successful [MOD][UB][TESTERS NEEDED!] CyanogenMod 10 for locked bootloader [WIP][DEV]. is there anyone who could alter it for Xperia Ion users,
He also gave some instruction how to here.
Unfortunately i'm not knowledgeable on that aspect.
Could anyone help?

Sorry, @ARNOB I'm new here.
So...there's no option for me? they can modify the kernel for LB?
So... @MrGezz I can't install your 4.4 version on my ion with looked bootloader?
You will create a rom for us? (LB)?
Thanks for your work!

Thanks for the help guys! I finally got it done, but man am i glad i had a good backup because the miui rom is not cool at all! I did the smooth ion mod and i really like it. i dont see why anyone would prefer the miui rom over the stock xperia
The Stock Rom with some mods is really cool

A simple forum search would've brought up no results for an MIUI port, but you might still be satisfied with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243238
It apparently has the MIUI theming capability on top of CM, if that's what you're after.

i've tried that before, but i'm not looking for a theme, i'm looking for a ROM, a MIUI ROM or a LEWA ROM or JoyOS ROM or any other Ported ROMs from those chinese guy.
Thanks anyway..
PREAMBLE
As the title suggests, this is CM10 for locked bootloaders. Since many people doubt this works, I am NOT responsible for bricked devices, whining children whatsoever. I have tested this on my locked Xperia S and it works so good that I decided to use it as a daily driver.
This ROM is for all those who have got tired of Stock-based ROMs!
Oh, and please, do not post feature requests or bug reports here, use DevDB instead, thanks.

Someone with locked bootloader should try, but I think it should work. You need to flash it with Sony apps from somewhere, but all the prerequisites are there. And 12 MP camera and 1080p video recording, should work since this is based on 1.96 firmware, the kernel is the same.

BE has been impossible so far on CM because of the unlocked bootloader thing.

Hey guys, how can I make the Xperia Z ROMs work on ZL?
I guess it's not that different. Maybe something on boot.img or build prop

Why Z ROMs? There is no difference

Not really...
I see more ROM options on Z than ZL device.
One example: MIUI is almost up-to-date on Z and discontinued on ZL

I dont know if it's too different like Samsung devices.
For example: When I had a Samsung Galaxy, I just needed to change some basic information on the build.prop, like device name/product name.
I was wondering what kind of info should I change to get this running.
I used to flash Z ROMS on Locked Bootloader with no problems at all, just remember to flash Brightness Fix and ZL kernel again *BEFORE* restarting system, or else you will enter a bootloop with no recovery option and will have to flash official ZL FTF, root and reinstall recovery again to get another go.
Z ROMS flashed successfully:
eXistenZ 1.5.5 Ultimate
eXistenZ 7.0.0 Ultra
MIUI v5 (official MIUI ROM, though, not the ones posted here in XDA)

little more difficult getting the aosp ROMs ported, I think.
I'd tried porting the KMA CM11 build to the ZL. though I managed to have it running, the screen always stayed on and at full brightness. I had done the steps that are part of this "brightness fix" which is known to work on stock based ROMs.
disclaimer: I'm a newbie and it's possible there was something additional to be done (which I wasn't aware of) while porting.
