Went back to v206b.

New Xperia launcher 3, installs over your current v2+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2368506

This is better than the other op's v5 or v4 as landscape works. This is also the older build "path/thread" that has gone 3 versions now & is quite polished with settings not in the Makeover versions.
The app drawer is SOTA!

Dst stock 98.30.1 rom damn fast http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45541392#post45541392

Philz v6 "NO Touch" recovery.

New radio for your old rom. 9.8.1Q-94-1 See post 3.

New version will DL from Sony if you check for update in launcher settings!!!!!!!!

This is a great 960-by-540 qHD launcher for our JellyBean. It puts all other Launchers to shame! Auto rotates now! I have tested it only on the Razr M JB 4.1.2.
No need to root.

I am on CM10.1 (Orion) and if you go to settings/system/buttons & layout you can make the 3 dots always visible then you can get to the customize feature directly from the homescreen. This should have been added by the developers. It makes housekeeping flow!
Update : A long press on any blank home does the same.

l only take credit for trying out many to find this one. Then I found this : More info & widgets http://droidviews.com/2013/xperia-z...h-added-functionality-for-all-android-phones/

I thought it good to sticky this in regard to proper wiping & flashing ROMs http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...oms-to-be-installed-with-twrpcwm/#entry262610

Added xt907 cwmr touch 6.0.3.6 flashable.zip with working touch screen input. Easy to double touch your way passed the confirmation screen & bork something. But that is what Koushik intended! It is FAST & but for a dim screen bug- fixed by a reboot recovery - is 100%. Thankfully the keys work also.

Update New Q TWRP 2.6+ see goodies pg2
: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42689559&postcount=3

xt926 cwmr 6035 has bug & took down.

Note on cwmr & protect recovery on reboot: Answer yes ONLY when booting from the official rom!
Answser any no at all other times.
This may not seem to be the best solution but twrp answers for you and gets it wrong sometimes depending on the version.

Want the stock boot logo back? Its there- flash from recovery.

Update TWRP.
The TWRP manager can batch run the Q twrp w/mirrored input or the no screen access vanquish twrp coming soon for 4.3 roms.

Some Very Good news but in a backhanded way:
This Photon Q TWRP, with full SD mount & more, works on the M! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070 See attachments for the flash-able ver. Now for the rub: screen input requires the mirror of the buttons. Only works via abort to bootloader w/keys. I am uploading the very zip from the twrp mounted SD while the phone is in recovery. BE CAREFULL.... It is really not that hard to use.

WTF is with the newer versions! Wiping is a scary as hell! Added an older twrp2.2.2.1-Better interface. But extSD is not mounted by default. Need to mount it.
Q is the same phone as.the M... see RM link for more details.
Many Flash-able xt907/xt926 recoveries in attachments.
OUDhs swipe is not working on the xt907 versions & xt926 versions untested.
My favorite recovery: (much faster now!)
OUDhs 1.0.3.5 touch recovery for the xt907 is a very nice 6.0.3.5 equivalent with hard key navigation only and a battery gauge.

Added stock boot logo for fastboot to attached files.

The new radio for your old ROM flash from recovery http://205.196.123.79/enfc9t0cjpog/06j4ygdmdhxlm22/xt907-98.18.78p-radio.zip

We have ROM Manager now! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382561
including steps to take the OTA.
Also if you are on the latest cm 10.1 nightly w/ SD option EVERYTHING WORKS - not the DL to browser on wifi - I do not think that works for any phone.
AtrixHD, the Q recovery was their standby for a long time.

The bootloader unlock = Motopocalypse.apk
All the zips are flashable from custom recovery (except where noted), for UnLocked BootLoaders ONLY. Note many of these could be flashed from SS twrp but I am unlocked so I cannot advise.

AOSP browser: It sticks in the posting of this!!
Miren was better for posting.
Maxthon hd tablet browser: needs to be killed & restarted often
Update: set open links in current tab, text size: large, zoom: close. Go back often & do not let many tabs run- 4? No more freezups.
Still the best for forums- same lateral compression as/and is better than Miren, posting/editing is ok. You need Chrome for uploading Attachments!
Why Maxthon HD & not Tapatalk or Xda app? :

Update on Maxthon: choose open links in same window for best use But choose default for uploads to xda & switch back.

All the zips work on xt907!! & are flashable (except as noted) from custom recovery.
Flash-able zips that work on the 907 & require key input only (& RomMgr is nothing more)-will they work on the 926? IS the enemy of your enemy your friend ? Same logic applies here!
Enjoy!!

New Philz v6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545120
Added SDswap initd & 1% battery mod for deodexed 4.1.2 xt907 (905): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2421172&d=1385677776

And the same but (no battery) for any 412 rom xt907 (5): http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2421189&d=1385678469

Flash from recovery. Wipe dalvik & cache.

Note: CWMR 6044 messes up 4.1.2 stock by forcing data/media/0. Philz is better as you can choose just data/media!
Added CWMR & Touch 6044- USB Mounting works!!! Still has deadly direct touch interface. Philz fixes this but not 6044 yet.

Added twrp 263.

Added Philz recovery with the xt907 assert check removed as it fails to read the build.prop & bombs out with status 7 for no reason.
Don't forget to get AROMA file explorer (not included in Philz btw: a separate file you put in your cwm folder:clockworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip ).

xt907-9.8.1Q-94-1-radio.zip flash from recovery.

TWRP from xt926 twrp-2.6.0.0-recovery-vanquish.zip
For backup & restore only.
Use this with twrp mgr "batch mode" for the proper bu of 4.3 roms.
There is no manual screen access.
DO NOT USE TO FLASH ZIPS OR INSTALL as it will leave you stranded in a install fails to boot.
Swap back to a usable recovery.
********************************************
New Q TWRP 2610:
Thanks to arrrghhh.
What's new in 2.6.1.0:

• Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
• Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
• Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
• Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
• Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
• Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
• Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
• Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks

Use with TWRP MANAGER is flawless!
Screen input requires the mirror of the buttons. For normal use it only works if choosen from bootloader (abort to bootloader w/keys). I am uploading the very zip from the twrp mounted SD while the phone is in recovery. BE CAREFULL.... It is really not that hard to use. Dim Screen perks up on after a time out.

Cool and smooth launcher isn't it. Did you check out all the options in the app drawer? The customize option is amazing. Not to mention see all your deletable apps all at once with the x (delete) option. AND filter bloatware and backup your home settings TOO!

Yeah very cool been playing with it quite a bit

Thanks a million have been wanting to try this!

MIREN is still the best forum browser cause of its smart horizontal compression.

Any one know how to get rid of the +- buttons on the lower right?
Older versions did not do it.

This is what Miren tuned into. The tablet ver is the least buggy on the M.

 

[aviwdoowks]

Amazing browser as smooth as miren, no pinch reflow jumps. Editing is good too.
