I will NOT take any ownership if your mobile smacks you in the face or you suffer data loss
You can use my works with or without credit - just hit the thanks button

.: HISTORY :.
Wanted to share my works with the community and give something back
Lots of crashing, rebooting and failed installs to reach a stable working ROM
Using a MAC made the work even harder to compile, but well worth it!!!

The attached zip file is for members that already have the .207 Rom installed and wish to update to v2
Update .207 Rom to v2 - Place the below file on your SDCard and flash from recovery
Full details of .207 v2 and the changes can be found here

.: Reserved for Updates :.

REMOVED Language Dictionaries and pico TTS files:
Place these file into the same folders in ROM - this is not a flashable zip
http://www.mediafire.com/download/g3tja1xc73keuaj/system.zip

For those that require extra battery saving with Auto switching 2G/3G/4G that is stable:
First please visit this link and install the xposed framework
To avoid issues follow the instructions and then install the Intelli3G App from the google play store here
Now open the xposed framework app and enable the new Intelli3G module, reboot and then open Intelli3G App and enjoy...
Tested working on rooted .207 stock rom, only issue I have seen is the auto switch to turn 3G/4G back on has a little niggle when you combine certain settings
I have managed to attain 6 days between charges set on 2G and only using 3G and wifi when needed on auto switch mode.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - Be aware for removal please follow the developers instructions and always have a backup before making any changes

For those that require an Advanced Reboot Menu:
Extended Reboot Menu with recovery and advanced boot options here
(This mod requires the exposed framework as mentioned above, same installation method applies, use at your own risk and always backup first)

For those that require a simple Reboot Menu - with Power Menu features: Already included in .207 v2
Please visit this link and install the ODEX_Shutdown.Reboot_1.205.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672564
Features: Simple Submenu with two options - "Reboot" & "Shutdown" by Pressing "Power off" button

For those that require complete Gapps
Download this to reinstate google sync and everything to get Gapps fully working
Select 4.3 jelly bean version from here

Current releases include:
.207 v3 Final Release with all tweaks to date plus MPDecision - google sync with updates to popular apps

.207 v2 Improved Battery and Deep Sleep mode
.207 v2 Removed 40MB of more Bloatware (see here for removed items)

5GB for rom lol

Maybe I should rephrase that.... and not have quoted RAM
the Xperia comes with 8GB internal storage and 1GB RAM
...of approximate 2 GB firmware and 5.5 GB “Internal storage” for music, pictures and movies, and downloaded applications and their data.
there is then about just under 5GB available for your for music, pictures and movies, and downloaded applications and data

Even after removing most of the bloatware maybe I still have that approximation wrong, HOWEVER that is the figure my mobile is telling meh!

GuestK00243 · Sep 3, 2014

I hope it exceeds my Miui V4 port rom 1000 download expectations!

I have tried .207 but wasn't happy with all the extra Apps that appeared and also Sony SU kept telling to update the mobile!!!!!!
Waiting for a cleaner stable generic UK version to appear that I can work with before I can provide a slim .207 for the community

GuestK00243 · Sep 13, 2014

12.1.A.1.207 Rom

For those that were waiting
Here it is 12.1.A.1.207 Generic Slim Rom now tested and uploaded

This is something you don't see everyday. Usually people create stock ROMs and just delete stuff here and there and call it theirs but I was quick to change the stereotype looking at the work you have done in improving the Sony Stock Firmware. I would suggest removing the extras from it and create a ROM with bug fixes and less of bloatware you place in to replace the Sony bloatware. It kills the idea of a slim ROM if you're going to add things inside. I recommend just placing in technologies such as xreality and such to further improve the phone aesthetically and also maybe improve the user experience. With that out of hand, this ROM can be quite a competition to other stock ROMs out there providing a true slim experience. (Hopefully yours doesn't compete with my upcoming ROM haha)

I agree adding stuff back into an already bloatware free Rom defeats the object of a slim Rom..... thank you for your kind words and I look forward to your upcoming Rom

The OP said your ROM must be unlocked, so my question is, does Bravia Engine and X-reality work?
