Code:#include /* * i am not responsible for bricked devices, or any problems * that you might run into when you do these mods. * point your finger at me if you goof up and i'll smack you * over the internet with my handy tennis racket. */
sources
kernel - here
gps fix - here

Make sure to have an unlocked boot loader before doing any of this: unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com
i've built kitkat for the xperia l once again, this time with updated sources and a few much-awaited fixes. Most of the procedures remain the same.
I'm going to keep this thread clean and simple. Just follow the instructions and you shouldn't run into any problems.
The gps fix may not be "complete", so please don't spam the thread with crazy insults, death threats, etc.
