Beautiful rom! I just installed it! I believe it is fast too! But i faced some fc's...The walkman when i chose the option to look all my music fc.The same happened when i chose to look all my photo albums.The album force closed.I cleared the data of walkman and album as well but i faced the same thing.

KitKat is boring after a while, after all I miss the Sony UI ..

Time to refresh memories with this one, looks so beautiful on the screen shots.

Testing this with Suave v5, (best battery life on ICS kernels, hands down).

Will try to report back in the morning

 

[Aciong.Aksaya]

You're unstoppable man! Thanks for bringing new goodies to our device.

Seems like Z1 ROM black version... Will definitely try this!

Thanks for this Rom.

Used it for two days. This is my review about the Rom.

The performance of this rom was good. Camera was good.

Small apps worked flawlessly.

The most important one is that the dialer was very quick when compared to other rom.

Got fc while accessing settings (apps management) and ram cleaning.

WiFi, Bluetooth and gallery were working well.

Sony Album could be replaced by Sony Gallery2 to save space.

Overall a good Rom with all the required functions.

Sent from my Neo V using Xda developers app.

bug

Change themeç

When you change theme, no restarts and reports an error, then the manual restart will not finish booting

Got fc while accessing settings (apps management) and ram cleaning.

Sony Album could be replaced by Sony Gallery2 to save space.

That is strange bug, did you do a clean install?

Or it could be you have deleted SemcGenericUxpRes.apk from framework

Try changing the theme accent from Theme Changer and you will get back the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk

The ROM, As the name suggests has been tried to be kept close to Xperia Z UI so Album was to be added instead, and is fast too
You may use QuickPic app supplied with this ROM for ICS Gallery like grid view

Change themeç

When you change theme, no restarts and reports an error, then the manual restart will not finish booting

The same thing as above, App has accidentally deleted SemcGenericUxpRes.apk without replacing it, Try the app again, it happens sometimes but the app works 90% times

Change themeç

When you change theme, no restarts and reports an error, then the manual restart will not finish booting

1st tell us what does the error say, 2nd check that if "Sony" folder is in your sd card or not, & inside it there should be different color named folders with a "SemcGenericUxpRes.apk" inside each. Check if you deleted any of them or not

Thanks for the review, but isn't making maximum brightness from Settings>Display enough for you? anyways you can replace the hw-config from the rom you think brightness was perfect :good:
