UnOfficial Xperia™ Rom for Sony Xperia M/M Dual is based on CyanogenMod 11 a.k.a. CM11 which in turn is based on Android Open Source Project a.k.a. AOSP.

Code: 
[B][U]Device-specific source code:[/U][/B]

[URL="https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_sony_nicki"][B]Device[/B][/URL]
[URL="https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_sony_msm8x27"][B]Kernel[/B][/URL]
Please note :

1. I have made no changes in Kernel. Its stock CM Kernel that is cooked at the time of compiling source into Rom.zip
2. This is my first Source Based rom. [2nd Public Release after a success with Customized Stock Rom for Samsung y Duos Lite - GT-S5302] So there may be some small problems that I overlooked but yet I have not found any in a week's usage.
3. This Rom uses Theme.DeviceDefault for App themes and thus the CM11 Themes won't work completely on this Rom for Stock Apps. However Apps using Theme.Holo will get themed as expected.
4. This is a work in progress and I will try my best to provide the most close Xperia UI possible.

FEATURES:

- Based on Android Kitkat 4.4.4,
- CM11 M10 Based[Compiled from Source],
- All Xperia M models supported,
- Xperia™ Z3/Z/M Themed UI and Apps,
- Xperia™ Walkman™ App,
- CM11 Goodies,
- OTA Supported,
- 3 Bootanimations to choose from,
- Xperia Z3 Audio for Alarm, Notifications, Ringtones and as well as for UI,
- Aroma Installer with options to choose desired apps and much more.

What's Working:

Everything[Well almost. I can't confirm for features that I don't use.]

Bugs[If any] :

The NFC certified payment service is buggy in Xperia M Dual and may suddenly get vanished from Settings Menu after restart. I am trying to fix that but have got no success yet.
