[ROM] [XPERIA L] (4.2.2) KitKat AOSP Pureness (K.A.P) 1.4.5 (UPDATE GOOGLE SEARCH TO FIX HOME)

What do I want?
The Honami Z1 look or the AOSP One.
This is the question that eats up every single Xperia L user.
Why not get the best of both?
That's where K.A.P comes along. (Btw, K.A.P is short for KitKat AOSP Pureness)
So now lets know the features:
1. Based on 15.3.A.O.26 Firmware
2. Debloated (Except for the user apps)
3. Deodexed
4. All APKs Zipaligned
5. A lot of Kitkat apps of course (Calendar, Camera, Email, Gallery, Gmail, Hangouts, Keep, KitKat Clock, CM 10.2 Messaging App, Messenger etc.
6. KitKat Home (Of course)
7. Pre-Rooted
8. Super User Mod Installed
9. Busybox 1.21.1 Binaries Installed
10. A mixture of Xperia and AOSP features in the status bar. All Nexus icons. (Wi-fi, Data, Battery and many more)
11. AOSP Lockscreen
12. Transparent Nexus Navigation Bar (But doesn't work with Google Home. Does with Xperia Home)
13. CM Lockscreen Clock.
14. CM Clock Widget
15. Nexus Icon Settings
16. Nexus BootAnimation
17. KitKat Keyboard
18. Kitkat Font
19. KitKat System Sounds
20. You tell me
21. init.d tweaks.
22. build.prop tweaks
23. RAM Tweaks
How to Install:
Sorry guys I couldn't give you a flashable zip. My computer got busted just after I finished making the ROM.
All I was left with was a Nandroid Backup.
I paid a dude 200 taka to upload the Nandroid Backup for me.
But don't worry, It works. I tried it 3 times.
1. Download the zip and extract it.
2. Inside it, you will find a folder called clockworkmod.
3. Copy it and paste it in the root of your Internal SD Card.
4. Fastboot a kernel with CWM (i USED PHANTOM KERNEL V3)
5. Enter CWM
6. Make a Nandroid backup. (In case anything happens)
6. Go to Mounts and Storage.
7. press format/system
8. Go back and go to Backup and restore.
9. Press Restore.
10. Press 1970-01-10.22.10.47
11. Wait.
12. Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik-Cache.
13. Reboot.
14. Update Google Search to make the app-drawer normal.
15. Your Done. Enjoy the show.

Bro, The nexus buttons are transparent. But with google home it doesn't work. Go to the movies app and you will see that transparency is enabled there. If you download Xperia Home, transparency will be automatically available.
And sorry I couldn't make a flashable zip. Thats cause my PC is busted pretty bad. I used another guys pc to upload this. Next version is coming soon. Many more features will be there. That will be a flashable zip or maybe Aroma Installer. Please press thanks and donate so that I can fix my pc and start development for this device. I also going to make a gaming Rom.

Its not possible.
Google home doesn't support that on 4.2.2.
It will only work in KitKat.
Try the Xperia Home.

My review about this ROM:
1)Stock launcher is kinda laggy.Not always,but it has it's moments.Also lacks settings and IMO the 5x5 grill looks bad on our resolution.
FIX:Install kitkat launcher+ from playstore and you'll have same interface,but more smoothness and settings.
2)New camera app has a big issue.The navigation bar is displayed over the camera buttons ( Shot button/Gallery/Switch camera mode ).Also HDR takes photos with bltiz.I can't say if that's a bug or feature,but most likely a bug.
FIX:Luckily we also have the old camera,so use it until next release.
3)The overall UI is is smooth,but it has it's moments when it lags for few seconds.However,I think this is kernel fault.I'm going to flash ThunderZap tomorrow and see if it impreves this.
4)KitKat Clock FC after setting an alarm.However,the alarm isn't canceled.Also,if you set an alarm it will appear in notification bar until you disable it.That's kinda cool.
FIX:If that FC bothers you,use default app.
5)Not all bloatwares are removed.I can still seelay Games,Sony Select,Google+,Messenger+ , but I guess that's just a matter of time
FIX:Use titanium back-up / root explorer to remove them from system/apps.
6)About UI:
A)The icons are changed,but not all.Contact icon is still from Sony for example.
B)The AOSP lockscreen is cool,smooth and works as it should
C)The new Navigation bar is fine,the icons are changed a little.
7)I tested Subway Surfers and it's smooth,same as stock or even a little better (but it might be only placebo effect)
8)I tested Wi-Fi,bluetooth,Play store,etc and all worked normal except the things mentioned above.

What I would like to see in the next update:
-Things from above fixed
-Transparent status bar & navigation bar in KitKat Launcher+
-Full KitKat UI(status bar,icons,etc)
-Maybe include a Kernel like ThunderZap or Phantom kernel by default
-Include some Gravity Box features by default (AOSP toggles(and maybe settings for it in settings app),reboot methods in menu)
That's all I can think about right now.

Overall I prefer this over stock rom.

Congrats and all the best,
Marius.
