Here I present you my first rom in xda.It was originally made for Xperia U and then I porte it because some user request me it.
It's Gingerbread based. Maybe you think I'm.crazy because we have jb 4.2. But we won't get the.speed of GB in any other android.
So what's wrong with GB? Definitely that horrible.UI, and that's.what this rom solves. ;)

-Prerooted and with Cwm.
-Debloated.
-Compatible with both Unlocked and Locked Bootloaders

-Z1 style launcher.
-Jb Sony systemui.
-Swipe to delete.notifications.

-Walkman and Walkman widget with ics style.
-Ics/jb music controls in lockscreen.
-Jb style of notifications.
-Jb google widget, like google now one.
-Z1 clock widget.
-Reboot in power off menu.
-JB Bootanimation.
-Jb chargemon.
-Tools widget of Jb.
-Jb Wallpapers.
-Deleted all clock icons in launcher (chronmeter, world clock etc) ezxept alarms, with jb icon.
-Jb like recent apps.
-OTA updater.
-Viper4android
-Various tweaks to improve performance and battery life.

Wow will try this soon, I'm on SlimFXP. So I should reflashed back to GB 184 then proceed to the installation of the zip? or can I get to flash it straight, as far as I know this may cause issues if we didn't flashed the rom on its base.

Thanks for your hardwork add some screenshots for the users can have a preview of the rom before using.
