Thanks. Tell it for the unlocked bootloader or locked?
It is possible the installation instruction more detailed?
Good work :thumbup: @blueether will download in about 12hrs time (free work wifi ftw)
Besides user testing I'll also see if I can help with known bugs (read, unzip see if I can fix and rebuild in kitchen)
Again, thx and congrats again on your contribution
Btw.. I've sorted out deodexing and xposed (incl. Setting apk.. and are you using the modified xperia xposed framework?) will be in touch after testing.

Only UL bootloader can install the 290 kernel with RW fix and a recovery to flash from, so by default all rooted/cwm recovery 290 roms are UL until a LB full root solution is found.
@blueether Maybe some xposed hints here - > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589113
My recommended instructions for install are:
(unlock bootloader if locked lol )
Flash full 290 ftf of choice via pcc
Fastboot flash boot @ChillyChan dual-recovery.img kernel
Boot into twrp/cwm recovery and flash BE rom
Flash superuser186 zip (just to be safe)
Clear dalvik/cache
Reboot and enjoy (meaning test for @blueether)
Install busybox via play store after first boot

As I said I had to go out while writing the OP so I'll update it.
Root should work and the latest busybox is included in the rom
Thanks for the comments so, mostly looking for testers etc first - not someone that is doing their first rom flash
@Feodorus 4PDA I can re-include the FM - this is the fort of thig that is good to know
@iBuzman that xposed link looks the ticket
Oh just finish installation process without any error
First setup screen bit different than stock one
there are Sony Entertainment Network Log in / Sign up screen
(Stock rom does not show this page)
Continue testing
(I feel smoother scrolling in my home screen than stock rom)
OOPs
My model change to C6802 and
In mobile network setting I lose my LTE Mode

I remembered that last night that it is from c6802 .
I blame @hamdogg for the smother scrolling as it was his build.prop tweaks that I have included
"Sony Entertainment Network Log" haven't looked for that yet to remove it

Excellent! Nice work blue...
I'm off to the beach today with the kids but will work on doggROM layer tonight. Hopefully!
Edit: famous last words... Man jumped off wharf and didn't come up. Looks like I'm organising a land & coast guard search... Maybe rom tomorrow...
Btw.. I like the Sony Entertainment Network app being included - without this I couldn't use music unlimited and a few other sony apps

That's me!... unfortunately I don't get an orange vest like our real dogs... I'm in the OP's room today.
unfortunately its about to be called off. Police taking over so thats not a good sign for the missing guy. No longer a rescue, now a recovery.
I'll flash BE and see how it goes... be a couple hours until i finish up here..
that crashes here as well
I wonder if it somethig in build.prop? the last build before those changes was more stable...
/me goes off to learn how to use USB debugging...
I don't think build prop; did it deodex properly in the kitchen? My guess is something to do with a faulty apk after deodexing - kitchen doesn't officially support 4.3 and api change to 18 may only be "cosmetic". Maybe @hamdogg can deodex setting.apk properly via linux? (I only have cygwin and 4.2.2 support on my win8 pc)

Please don't take this wrong,
Disclaimer to everyone;
Those that know my works from windows mobile and WP7 days, know that i do not release stuff without being tested first, i don't work that way.
Yes, it may have a bug here and there but nothing that will damage,etc your device.
I do this because i love it, most of my works come from private projects, but i feel i should share it if i can because you guys will appreciate it.
Thank you all and a wish you a happy new year:highfive:
Any way, very soon all you guys will be able to do the same with an automated rom kitchen that i have been working on

You are already on B.1.100 , So just perform Wipe Data Reset and Wipe Cache in CWM and flash this ROM.

Yeah , Perform a Data wipe and reset. since your are on CM9 which is itself based on ICS.
but i would recommend flashing B.1.100 and then to flash this rom.
Still if you want to flash it on CM9 , before flashing make a back up of current ROM

Quickest Way to install ROM if not on .290
bigxie said:
The best and fastest course of action, if you're unlocked, is to do the following:
1. Use flashtool to FTF to .290, uncheck wipe data & cache, check exclude system + kernel (this literally saves like 10 minutes)
2. Reboot into the bootloader and flash CM boot.img or GPe advanced recovery
3. Reboot and enter recovery by holding volume down when the LED turns purple
4. Flash the ROM, do a factory reset
5. Reboot

FAQ
Q: How can I get the launcher from the Nexus 5 that has Google Now on the leftmost pane on this ROM?
A: Install the Google Now Launcher from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
Q: Does Apt-X work on the GPe ROM?
A: No, it looks like Sony did not bake Apt-X support into the GPe ROM. Perhaps they will add it to a future update (much like HTC later added IR support to the One GPe)
The following issues are both addressed in the tweaked version of GPe ROM available in OP
Q: I lost my recovery, how do I get it back?
A: This ROM contains the stock GPe kernel, which does not include recovery. If you need it, you can flash DooMLoRD's GPe recovery with dual recovery found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579005
Q: I can't write to my external SD card. Is this a bug?
A: No, this is the behavior Google intended. If you want to bypass it, refer to the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574730

Yes I flashed it. This is a stock version of Android, completely clean and default. You won't find any CM features here. Only customization is Sony's X reality toggle (see OP for screenshot). I'm not into phone benchies but i'm running Antutu now....

Mine is a 6833 and gsm with 3g data works perfectly. Don't have LTE so can't test that.

Can it be true?

Just to be sure, I'm already in your purestockdeodexed v2 ROM on my locked. BL XSP. I don't have to go back to 4.1.2, right? Just wiping both caches, tlashing your new ROM, the supersu fix, power off in CWM, then the. 266 kernel with flashtool would do, right? Oh, and I don't intend to.wipe my data. Do you see any problems with such strategy?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, that seemed quite odd to me too!
What I did was this:
First I tried directly flashing this rom over the old StockDeodexed4.3 ROM of dipesh, but that didnt work out (resulted in a freeze in the recovery) so I used this procedure:
First flash a stock 12.0.A.2.254 rom with Flashtool (you can find a stock rom in the stock .FTF thread).
Then use DooMLorD's root method to root your device.
*You don't need to flash back to the .254 kernel after flashing the .257 one, that only takes more time!*
Then you need to install a custom recovery (I use this one, it seems to be the best Xperia SP recovery at the moment).
After doing all that and putting the SuperSU fix and rom zipfiles on your mobile device, it is time to boot the recovery and flash the rom! (I used the stock CWM for flashing this) There is no need to mount /system or anything, just flash the rom first, and after that flash the superSU fix.
Now turn your device OFF with the recovery menu, it will warn you that this may remove the recovery. Do not worry, by flashing the .266 kernel you will need to re-install the recovery anyways.
Then finally flash the .266 kernel (I used niaboc79's way):
1) Download any FTF of latest 12.1.A.0.266 firmware and place it in firmware folder of flashtool.
2) Plug-in the USB.
3) Open Flash tool and click on the lightning logo.
4) Select Flashmode.
5) Select 12.1.A.0.266 firmware on left side.
6) Uncheck kernel, fota, data, cache & appslog on right side.
7) Select Flash at bottom.
8) When asked, unplug USB and turn off phone.
9) Plug USB again while you are pressing volume down.
After doing all this, your rom is up and running!

I've seen item 3.1, handling the case of coming from any of your ROMs, but only in the UBL section. No changes in the LBL one have been made..Anyway, in it you don't mention the need to wipe the caches, neither to flash the .266 kernel. Is that correct?
Is the rom blotware free????

Yes its correct because
Having recovery implies having advance stock kernel
As this rom does not contain any kernel theres no need to fastboot any kernel after installing the rom because you already will be on advance kernel.
And theres no need to wipe data,cache and dalvik cache manually for unlocked bl
Leave it to the script
Time to sleep now its already 1.30am here
downloading now
i'm now in downloading level i'm already in ce stock and flashing dolmood kernel
but i want to ask if its clean from blotware or i must use script to delete it
Hy,
I can not find words to express my gratitude.
Thanks this rom!
To the man posting behind me it only has some unnecessary apps.
Btw I found a slight bug tinted with red, find the attachment.
I noticed a few small things:
The Translation small app and 4.4.2 themes that are listed in the OP do not appear after flashing the rom (for me!)
The advanced volume control worked, but after installing Gravitybox, the extra settings button did not pop-up for me anymore.
The transparent background of the app drawer conflicts with the triflat theme (the navigationbar gets semi transparent-blackish, which doesnt look that great).
All minor things, you did a great job with this rom dude!

Very clear your explanation, thank you very much
Hi All,
I made an ftf for 14.4.A.0.108 Android 4.4.4 for the 6833 (cda# 1275.9426). I think this makes it an unbranded generic rom from Malaysia, anyways, I have confirmed it all works well.
Update: Deodexed Patch (Post 2) also working well.
Update 2: Dark Themed Deodex Patch (Post 3) working even better!
To make the ftf I grabbed a pc companion update and converted it with flashtool.
Titanium backup first as there will be a full wipe. Nandroid probably a good idea too
Flash attached ftf in the latest flashtool (remember, this will wipe everything). Enough guides on how to do this already exist so we don't need another..

Titanium backup you did earlier should be good for you to restore from.
Remember to refix your sd card via the sdfix app from play store. The rooting tool you used earlier already performs ric kill so root r/w access is ok

Dark Themed Apps / Deodex Patch
(same instructions as post 2, but you get (deodexed) dark themed system apps)
This is a full system patch (not just themed apps) ~ it can be flashed instead of post 2.
Credit @Rajeev ~ thank him if you like this!
Here is the thread link for his mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53800682
Screenshots in the thread are from this set up!
Update: there have been a few reports of bootloops after flashing this. Until I have sorted it out please flash post 2 patch then the mod from @Rajeev linked above. (confirmed method by @dandyqb)
update @appleknight reports flashing @jackie099 108 kernel prior to the this dark deodex patch avoids bootload issues (probably a ric_kill related) - flashing it after he unthemed deodex also avoids any issues.

Awesome！Downloading，thanks for sharing
The region it is ROM?
Good question. As far as I can tell it is a unbranded generic euro lte (Italy) version going by the build prop cda# (1275.9426). I'm in Australia and haven't experienced any issues. I've updated OP with (suspected) region details.
Thanks iBuzman!
Everything went off fine - the update, rooting and installation of recovery (incidentally, Chrome flags off a virus in the recovery installation zip).
Was hoping DT2W was included in this update... but looks like we will have to wait for a modified kernel for that.
Otherwise, have not noticed any other issues.
Btw, since you have been using this ROM a bit longer, has battery drain reduced?
Battery has been good for me considering my heavy usage today (all uploads and threads done from phone) - chrome didn't like the zip for me either - I trust Barry's / NUTs stuff so forced it anyway
would you please upload the ftf to other drives? 'cos google service is banned in China, we can't download it.
Thanks~~
THANK YOU for the ftf this firmware is good! No bugs yet for me

very happy for somebody to mirror this (hint @joluke haha ~ anyone kind enough appreciated)
FTF is from Malaysia NOT from Italy but everything is working fine so no big deal.
^^ OP updated, thx @Jecmenn
Confirmed as working in 4.4.4

Live Wallpaper on lockscreen (via gem xposed and gravity box xposed settings)

Digging the Xperia keyboard too. Has learning from gmail and facebook, great smiley/emoji icons, themes, as well as backup to sony account. (plus SwiftKey keeps disappearing/uninstalling lol)

How is it possible that I, living in Italy having a swapped-in-warranty C6833, could trigger an update for Malaysia?
I assure you I'm Italian, I bought my original Ultra from the UK and it got swapped in Italy under warranty with a brand new unit...

Edit: I checked the CDA topic and it appears that mine is customised Malaysian, but it seems strange I have it... Well, if it means I'll get updates faster than everyone else, that's good...
Wonderful job mate!! Thanks! Downloading...
Installed this on my z ultra from telcel no issues so far. And root it
