[ROM][KVT49L][KitKat] AOSP for the Xperia L

kinetic_soul said:

just a lil' heads up:

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
device tree - here
proprietary vendor files can be found linked in the readme.md file in the device tree.

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.

downloads

boot.img - download.

userdata.img - download.

system.img - download.

gapps - download.

if you want the crt lock animation, download this and flash with cwm or twrp -

download.

instructions

cd to the directory which contains the downloaded files [ex: Cd ~/downloads] and execute the following commands (assuming you have fastboot and adb set up in your command line.) -

Code:

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

cool stuff and not-so-cool stuff

what's working?

Code:

- wi-fi
- gps {kinda}
- nfc
- camera
- deep sleep
- other essentials

what's still smoked?

Code:

- bluetooth
- internal storage shows up as 2gb and not 4gb

If you really want AOSP 4.4 you can use percy_g2 system.img
They are all the same anyway

Use ThunderZap or Phantom Kernel as boot.img
Make sure to flash the zip included with the kernel too!
Inside the recovery, do a factory reset (wipe data/cache/dalvik)
