.510. I wasnt aware of the Xperia ZU firmware versions when I created it so it will be updated. No bravia but there will be X-reality for it instead.

Great work, the only thing is your rom is based on 510...I come with stock 257, 257's kernel might causes some unstable issues, still waitin for the next update. Tnks a lot bro.

came from CM 10.2:

1) Flashed via fastboot this kernel "advanced stock kernel v4" from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426736

2) Flashed the ROM via CWM.
3) Make a FULL wipe
4) Reboot.. and done!

Great rom!

Thanks!
