-pre-rooted like cyanogenmod
-cyanogenmod performance setting
-themed framework
-xperia walkman with sound enhancements

screenshots/ changelogs / credits

Screenshots:
In attachments

Changelog:
1-first version (private):
first release that it was about 10 versions that each one had to pass my tests (so i can find what made the rom not work well and remove-replace it)

2-public version(v1):
-removed xperia z lock screen (because of unstability. added as add-on)
-removed xperia z status bar from main rom (due to some bugs) and added the link from original thread in add-ons
-changed icons of apps
-some themings here and there
-removed some useless apps (because they are not useful for everyone)

To do list(for myself):
1-porting on-off switched from xperia 4.3 firmware
2-making xperia z lockscreen add-on again (unstable for now)
3-theming system-ui
4-theming setting a little bit more
5-adding one of tested google now add-ons in add-on section
6-porting this rom to other 2011 xperia devices
7-maybe adding armora installer
8-porting small apps with task switcher (it will take much time and i may fail in porting it because its very hard)

Credits:

1- @ibanez7 for his xperia album,walkman,movie and keyboard (and his usefull tools and guides that i learned manythings from them)
2- @Sahaab for his z1 launcher

because cm10 is not running games well but this rom is
but i was thinking about a cm10 version too because some of the sony features are more updated in cm10
but we have many cm10 xperia themed roms in this section
and we have somc debrand engine too

Project butter does not work on our Play, as stated by CosmicDan.
CM9 is faster when it comes to gaming too (other than the annoying bug that makes touchpads lag, well-known into CM10)

_______________________

@pedyvirus I found that Google play service gives FC in this rom
I have tried two versions but both of them give fc

Maybe its gapps problem ( im using one of the lightest gapps so maybe thats causing the problem)
Can you install full gapps and try this again?
Because im busy in reviewing xperia play for one of perisan sites now

i tried, but that kernel doesn't have lupus menu and i don't now how to put my owns init.d scripts for kernel preferences...
Also, are the touchpads working?
if yes, is solved the circle button that acts as a back button?
cheers
