This is best rom i have ever used
Free ram is awsome even with small apps
Walkman working great
Them of this rom is better than awesome
New theme manager is great and i really like the new setting app
Status bar changes are great too (compared to honami exclusive)
I installed super su instead of super user. It fits better to the rom
Youvare a step closer to full theme manger now
Rest is comepelte only changing wallpapers and lockscreen wallpaper is not imported to this great theme manger

Wish you luck

Thank you both for this new "Xperia Z" Rom. I am downloading it right now, flash it later and test it during next week. I will come with an extensive review. Really good to see roms, updates, etc for our aging device..! I am about to get a Galaxy Note 2/3 and new roms for Xperia Arc are more than welcome! :)
