Sony Xperia SL ROMS?

Are there any Sony Xperia SL roms? Because all the ROMS available on XDA are for the Xperia S. Would Xperia S ROMS work on the Xperia SL? If so which problems would i face?

i have one, from my SL buy in Philippin, but it's 6.1.A.2.45.
Another newest firmware is 6.1.A.2.50 link below
Code:

I believe an SL is the same just the processor is turned up to 1.7 so S roms should work as far as I've read. (no guarantee tho)
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S

I just recently flashed my SL with a FXP CM10 rom, by following all the steps for S, and so far I have no problems. Except I made a big mistake by not backing up my rom first (silly me). If you want to flash any Xperia S roms, I suggest you backup the stock rom first and also the build.prop. Cause once you flash to S roms, the device will be recognized as Xperia S and having a backed up build.prop would come in handy as reference. Another downside is that the CPU will be underclocked to 1.5GHz, but can be easily changed to 1.674MHz through an app or if your rom can change the CPU settings.
Just to warn you, there aren't a lot of options out there if you want to go back to stock since most are for Xperia S.

Nova kernel will clock it back to 1.7 and you can edit the build.prop for device id

Questions about installing
Hi everybody,
I am planning to replace the stock rom on my sister's xperia sl with a Cm10 rom.
Before I would do something, I would like to ask some questions.
How can I make a backup of the current kernel? I(Just in case I would like to go back to stock rom)
Is it true if I flash the boot.img file with the fastboot, I will get another kernel installed together with clockworkmod recovery?
If I don't make a backup of the current kernel, just do a backup with cwm, is it possible to simply restore my cwm backup in the future if necessary?
Can I download a stock kernel from anywhere If making a backup of it is not possible?
I have just a little experience with cwm, I did a few months ago a custom rom installation on zte blade, but there everything was easy, because I could install it with the rom manager application.
I would be very grateful if you could send me a link in email or private message to the latest cm and gapps build for xperia s.
I am visually impaired, so I use a screenreader software to browse webpages. With this program, navigating through the cm page is difficult for me, because there aren't exact headings, and tables which I could use to understand the structure of the items on that website. I met the same situation at another page, where I donwloaded the wrong file because of the lack of accessible structure. At that time I didn't have problem, but I would like to prevent dowloading an incompatible rom for my xperia.
Where do I have to put the build.prop file linked here in this topic? Do I have to place it in the zip file of the rom?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Sorry for my beginner questions and not perfect English.
Cheers,
Istvan

And im working on Sony Android 4.4

[ROM][LB/UB][4.1.2] CyanogenMod 10

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.
HOW IT WORKS
If you want to know how it works, go here and also don't forget to give kudos to letama.
WORKING/NOT WORKING
- UI freezes sometimes if one holds the homebutton pressed
- LED stays on (doesn't go on and off)

Wow... Amazing job.. ROM is smooth and real fast.. Even way better than FXP's CM10.. :good::good: But i am willing to ask a small favor.. Is it possible to post TWRP as a separate MOD for all LB's??

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.

[Q] Using Kitkat 4.4 on Xperia Ion Locked Bootloader

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?

[Q] How to revive a dead C6503

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the XDA forum and I hope to find some help here.
I've bought a new Sony Xperia ZL C6503 a few months ago but yesterday it died completely.
This happened when I wanted to transfer files between my laptop and phone.
It has the latest firmware 4.4.4 and always used the original charger and USB cable
Is there a way to reset the device or fix it before I send it back for warranty?
Hope my grammar is understandable.
