Hi iSiddharth,

Thx again for your hardwork (also press the thx button below)
Just a stupid question: in previous kitkat post you said the ROM's kernel still remain 4.2 because don't have source code. So, is this Lollipop ROM the same situation? Or this one is indeed the native version of Lollipop on xc?

Unfortunately It's the same situation because we cannot flask custom kernel due to Locked Boot loader

No need to unlock the bootloader for this ROM

Another question. With the lollipop ROM (or previous kitkat) on xc, could the apps with required version 4.4+ be installed? (ex: smartwatch relatives app). I love xc but sony makes me desperate without provide system upgrade...

I did not try what you are asking, so probably you have to give a try to it

Bug findings

OK here's what I found:

1. Massive battery drain bug is back (incorrect battery report bug, 25%-0%)
2. Buttons in quick settings and widgets are sometimes not working (I've noticed this on screen orientation and mobile data, had to get to settings menu to change those)
3. Xperia Keyboard typing calibration is all over the place (when I press backspace, L or P is sometimes pressed, when you press space, middle screen is mysteriously tapped sometimes. Have not experienced this on Lollipop keyboard, yet

Those being said, I'm on S1 boot version 2.14.J.2.13 (when I updated the ROM, S1 didn't get updated) . I'll try to flash again whem I get home but using S1 2.14.J.2.16

EDIT:
Found a new one:

• Installed small apps lose their icon on restart ( but still installed).

Still on office, not re-flashing yet

Done reflashing

I'm done re-flashing, and an outdated S1 boot version seemed to be the cause. The first two problems (Battery drain and widget bug) have disappeared , but the Xperia keyboard problem is still there. The widget small app seems to be a problem on my part; since I installed it on SD card. I moved the apk's on /system and the problem went away.
