title

really appreciate for indexing ROM-kernel-recoveries, but i think you should update the title of you indexed topic, for example existenz is now v3 and using the new firmware. it will be helpful for other user to know current updated ROM/kernel/recoveries :)

Hello !

I'm new here, and I have one question about this forum and the custom roms for Xperia SP

Does the last custom rom here solve all the bugs in Xperia SP (lag, touchscreen problem, camera...etc) that we have on the official 4.3 Jelly Bean ?

Thank you

Speaking as one with a locked bootloader: most of the roms (in android development forum) are merely customised roms relying on stock .201 or .266. So, whatever is in stock (official) 4.3 will be present in these roms.

BUT THESE ROMS ARE MUCH NICER and slightly more user friendly than stock :D

The "non-stock" that I am aware: CM10.2, existenz ultra 3.1.5 (not sure)

XSP FTW!

I just bought a new XSP..
I researched a few things in these forums and drew conclusions, please advise me on whether they're right

1. Flashing ROMs on Locked Bootloader will NOT void my warranty
2. ROMs based on stock roms can be flashed on a locked bootloader, for custom ROMs we need a unlocked BL
3. Flashing a stock ROM for my model C5302 ( which is from Taiwan) from a different region (say India) will NOT affect my phone.

Thanking you in advance! :)

2. ROMs based on stock roms can be flashed on a locked bootloader, for custom ROMs we need a unlocked BL -some custom roms can be flashed on Locked BL
3. Flashing a stock ROM for my model C5302 ( which is from Taiwan) from a different region (say India) will NOT affect my phone. - dont know about 5302 (mine is 5303) and I have flashed AU, UK CE on my device, sometimes just the kernels, other times, fully (before I found some ftf from my country).

Thanking you in advance! :)

CM11 is not as stable as stock rom, in my opinion. It has overheating issues and heavy battery drain. You can try CM10.1 instead, it's rock stable and has no issues whatsoever, except for FM radio which all custom roms don't have. By the way, you need an unlocked bootloader for CM roms.
