Backup DRM keys before unlocking bootloader.Use TA BACKUP to backup drm keys.You can find it in Sony Cross Device Forum.

whats the difference between Xperia ZR Android Development and Xperia ZR Original Android Development ?? I had this doubt from long time
Lets try this. What would you do if you need to make your phone 100% utilized? I have an apk (wont advertise it here) that is optimized for battery lifetime. So it lags and stutters with a constant fps ~15. And it just doesnt work. I tried performance governor, but it seems to work better with an interactive with lowered max threshold (like 30%). After 15min benchmark the results are around 37% cpu, 350mb ram, and 50% gpu. And ofcourse, lousy framerate.
Just a wild guess here - Android development may mean modified stock ROM and Original development may mean ground up or based on AOSP.
Android Development topics include ROMs that are a modified version of someone's official port of an existing ROM. For example, CyanogenMod - if you take the original ROM for our ZR and make some minor changes (add your own theme, change the /system directory a bit, etc.), then that topic, and your ROM, goes in the Android Development.
If your ROM has been created from scratch (ground up, as you'd say), or represents a port of an existing ROM for our phone (like Miui) that didn't exist beforehand, then your ROM belongs in the Original Android Development, and you have full rights to deny or allow permission to use your ROM for other people's developing purposes. The OP decides whether people can use their ROM for tweaking/theming/adjusting needs.
I hope I made myself clear. Cheers!

Hi, I would recommend keeping Sony's stock ROM - the 4.4.4 one, mostly because there's nothing wrong with it.
If you're interested in having CM 12 or 12.1, then go ahead and flash that ROM, but those ROMs aren't really awesome in terms of covering everything that your phone can actually have as a feature.
Stock ROMs are much more interesting, and you can still modify the system and do whatever you want with it. I know this mostly because I had CM 12 on my previous phone, Xperia M, and I've missed the stock ROM so much, only because of how nice the Home launcher, the Messaging app, the Stamina feature, the Weather widget, and the Quick Launch Camera feature were.

Do you have unlocked bootloader? The method mentioned there seems to be for unlocked bootloader devices.
There is another for locked bootloader devices in a different thread. Will try to post from PC later.

It could be. There are many reports of people doing that. Try it and if it does not work out you will always be able to come back to the proper country version.
Problem solved!
First I thought it was a software issue. I noticed the degradation in the image quality after I unlocked my bootloader. So I applied the Drm restore patch. I got the bravia engine and clear audio to work again but camera quality was still very bad .
Then I noticed scratches on the camera glass and realised it wasnt a software issue after all!
I searched the net and found a way to remove scratches by cleaning the glass with a qtip/earbud dipped in alcohol and it worked like magic!! I have much better camera quality now although not as good as it was when I bought my phone but quite happy with it now...
Thanks anyways

Hey, don't mention it. Press that thanks button, it helps a lot!
The 20MP superior auto is meant for Z1 and newer phones that have 20MP cameras. That module enables the Superior Auto to take pictures using that camera quality. Usually, when you select Superior Auto, you'll always see pictures taken at a smaller quality (in the ZR's case, it takes pictures using 9 instead of 13MP).
So, that Xposed module is useless for our phone.
In the xposed module description it says also works on xperia z 4.3 12mp thats why I was wondering if it would work for our XZR and if any one has tried it .Dont want a bootloopHey, don't mention it. Press that thanks button, it helps a lot!

Yes even I suggest not to unlock your bootloader unless you want to use some custom rom like cm12 as unlocking the bootloader will decrease the camera performance in low light conditions and some other features like bravia engine 2 will stop working..
Instead if you want to stay on stock Sony rom then just get a pre rooted firmware (of any country) and then flash it through recovery and you will be on 5.1.1 rooted.
If you want recovery also then after you flash the Pre-rooted zip flash the NUT dual recovery flashable zip as well.2
