Hello XDA users,
I am really proud to present to you one of the most interesting ROM called MIUI (Redefining Android)

Base ROM: This rom has been ported by patchrom using Stock based Sony firmware build 10.3.1.A.2.67 TW (Taiwan) Version (which is the 4.2.2 version) this means this ROM is very bugless and have a really great battery life (tested) and have Bravia 2, Xload, Walkman and Sony Album Xperia menu to select MTP or MSC and playstation certificate.

Recovery and Installer: I have implement aroma installer and added recovery from [NUT]'s recovery so all credit to him : )

Kernel: I have added lightning kernel from nikhil18 on this rom for unlocked bootloaders but for locked bootloaders they need to flash stock 4.4.2 rom before flashing this.

MIUI Version: This rom has been ported from MIUI V4.9.19

Please note that GAAPS is NOT included, you may flash it manually AFTER booting the rom
Download GAAPS


For those who want LTE Please note (Only C5503) : after flashing the rom and select C5503 go to dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#* then go into Phone information, slide down and select Set preferred network type then chose LTE/GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) mode and you're all set ;)

What's working?:
Everything so far

What's not working?:

can not use other navbar apps like Ultimate Dynamic navbar,GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys,etc.(Install is ok but Can not recall the navbar) :crying:
miui is highly Hard-Coded android ... so it's possible that some apps that needs modification in system cannot works ... well you still can use xposed for miui,
to fix your phone try uninstall the app and reflash the package witouth wiping data ;)
