This does not work on 14.A.1.236. You end up with a blank live wallpaper where the startup guide should meet you.
It will only work on 14.A.0.368.

Latest Flashtool also writes out a weird error...like flashtool always does..
It reads TA_partition and writes. After that it stops with an error.
Downgrade to Flashtool 0.9.18.6 solves it.

Xposed works fine

Try ZyperRom
So I installed Zhyper Rom and wasn't be able to make it work! It booted but the UI did not pop up at all, everything I could do was spin that live wave wallpaper from Sony no UI what so ever!

Maybe my desire ROM zip file got corrupted but I don't think so, does anyone have an MD5 for that file?
