TIPS ABOUT ROM :
OTA SUPPORT :
OTA application doesnt flash automatically downloaded update, you must flash downloaded update manually.
OTA Downloader downloads update to Internal Memory/Ota-UPDATER/Downloads. You can find the file there, if you get update.
Flash them it!​
TIPS FOR SPEED/BATTERY :
For more battery life, dont install(or remove) Google Play Services which named is GMSCore.apk. It's need for Hangouts , Youtube and some applications. You can remove it with like Titanium Backup programs. You wont lose your Google Contacts Sync or Google Play.
!!! NOT GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK !!! Be careful!

Greenify is the best program for block deepsleep brokers. You can try it.​
DUAL RECOVERY:
You'll have TWRP 2.6.3 / CWM 6.0.3 after flashing PureION.
For enter TWRP: When you see blue led on booting phone, push volume up.
For enter CWM: When you see blue led on booting phone, push volume down.​
I GOT BOOTLOOP AFTER FLASHING ROM :
This mean, you did something wrong.
Wipe Data - Format System three time for be sure.
If not work, maybe you arent on .211 based firmware.

Try;
1) First flash stock 6.2.B.0.211.ftf Download : http://d-h.st/sSI
Note : You can use for flashing "Sony Mobile Flasher by Androxyde"
2) Root and install recovery.
3) Download and copy this rom to your phone
4) Enter Recovery
5) Wipe Data / Format System
6) Mount System Manually
7) Flash this Rom
-If problem continues, check md5sums.​
FOR DEVELOPERS :
In that rom some mods/ports belong to me and created for PureION. You can not use it directly in your projects. Please before talk with me, i will happy for that. And you can use after ask me.​

Could not enter recovery, had to update/install busybox, then cwm, and camcorder has bad lag. That's as far as I got, had to restore my backup. I'll test again later.

Hello dear Bugly Astard,
Dont change busybox version. It's matchless for TWRP. And i dont have any lag about FullHD video record, can someone report on this?

Thanks you.

Awesome WORK bro. :good: Looks nice, but i cant download now and try cos of low speed.

Please tell me the major difference between ZperiaION 4.5 & PureION ?

And Can you please add the latest Walkman and Album ?

I think the Walkman and Album works in Z1 framework. Can you make it work in ZU(i dont know much about framework and there differences), please ? :fingers-crossed: :)

Is it possible for you to provide a Home with 7 icons, Many don't like Default Home, If you can provide that, it will be much Helpful

Thanks & Regards

Captain Droid

Thanks you @Captain Droid for your comment.

Major changes are, CWM to TWRP 2.6.3 and changed stock framework to ZU frameworks.

There are too many minor/major changes.. You'll love it :))

Flashed your ROM today. Its Amazing Fast and smooth. :good: :good:

Will report full Review / feedback after using it for sometime.

TWRP is working fine. . . . . :good: :good: It will take some time for me to get used to it cos CWM was way too easy to use :p
