-----v2.1.0 - Sony JB 4.2-----
Bloatware Removed - PureXAudio - Deodexed - Zipaligned - Other Mods

About ROM
When I first made TuRdZzROM for the Xperia T, I made it for me. I made it so I could be like "This is mine", but then, I shared it to the people of the forum and they loved it. So I thought "Hey, why don't I make this for other devices too?" And so here I am, sharing my ROM with you today. I'm no expert or Developer as such, but I'm learning more and trying to help people in any way that I can.
The goal of TuRdZzROM is to provide a stable, fluid, smooth performance and strip the crap from the stock firmware without altering its appearance too much.
Enjoy!

Is a kernel flash required if you just want stock kernel?

Assume will also work on locked bootloaders if rooted and custom recovery installed?

Thanks.

I didn't include a kernel, so whatever you have before the flash will remain there. So, yeah, flash a kernel of your choice after the ROM installation!

There is no reason it shouldn't work on locked bootloaders; I just didn't have the time to add more instructions to the OP, I'll do that tomorrow, when I have time.

I asked krebbapel via PM, and he said it was okay if I was to use it in my ROM.
He probably just hasn't updated the OP yet...
EDIT: He has now.

Before I installed this Rom I got 16,000 now I get over 20,000. Huge difference and noticeably faster. Can I flash any kernel onto this?

 

[hatrole27]

locked bootloader

Anyone with locked bootloader already tried this ROM? any reboot issue? tried other rom but after few hours it started keep on rebooting, it reboots and after few sec it will reboot again. and i can't even get to recovery due to no GREEN LED after the sony logo comes out..

Yes, I will. I'm also currently making a removed apps flashable zip, which will include all of the system apps I removed.
EDIT: Added Removed Apps zip to OP... I haven't tested it though!
