One simple question- did u unlock the bootloader? Now there are 2 possible answer of this question...... One if u did so, u have lost the drm key forever and apps like trackid won't work, and if u did not, u still have the drm key and thus that xperia J Walkman mod malfunctioning u were talking about maybe is the result of improper porting....

Official W8i/E16i firmware, flashable via FlashTool.
Original post is here.
Also, xRecovery backup is here.
Will be uploaded soon to Mediafire as FTF file.
If you have X8a phone, take X8a 015 baseband and flash it after flashing W8 FW.
Best regards
Can you post some screenshots and can you tell us the main differences between our X8 stock ROM?
Will it all work with no problems/glitchs/bugs?
And what are the languages available in the ROM?
Thank you
I don't want to say something but this is spam there is treadh and please this rom is unusable where are Google apps I try this Tom before anyone post and it is not worth of using especially Chinese version

It's exacly same like X8. SE even not change kernel, so no chance.
So, SE just change framework a little bit, and sell X8 as walkman phone.

Face unlock is in the settings -> security part, but i dont really recommend it, its beter to use a pattern or something, when you are in dark places its doesn't work, besides i think its easier using a pattern.

I don't like the pattern on ICS. It worked quite bad, was a bit hard to get all the correct points, don't know what was the problem. I went over to PIN.
Ya i know i just wanted the feature for fun and just to play around with it...not seriously...

i don't think so because even android system, bluetooth,setting apps you still can freeze them,extract or delete(harm your phone) if u want by using root uninstaller
you owned your phone..so you can do whatever you want with your phone after root
please again for SONY XPERIA SOLA's USER..do it, and share it
There isn't any glovemode.apk or any apk related to glovemode.
It is in framework of Xperia sola.It won't be easy to port it other device and also you might need hardware.

LWW stands for "live with Walkman" :banghead:
It's a Sony Ericsson Mobile phone...
LWW users are the ones having this phone...
Non-lww Users are the users having Mini/MiniPro/Active
that makes sense
thank you so much for your help
Simple, very simple question with a simple answer.
Lww users are defined how a people with dont have a lot of money to sell and expensive high-end smarthpone, but have enough money to sell a smartphone pretty, fast, customizable, and very cheaper for all functions witch have it.
An Live With Walkman user is a person who loves music, and wants to have your music library when he needs it.
In simple words, an lww user is smart.

Hi,
So after reading a bunch of posts, I want to verify if I understand the current state of things with the Z2
- There is no current way to backup the TA partition on the Z2 right now.
- Because there is no way to backup the TA partition, if i unlock the bootloader I will lose all the DRM keys
- There is no other way to root the phone then unlocking the bootloader
If I understand that correctly, a few questions:
- besides X-Reality, trackid, what are some of the important/desireable features that will not work without DRM keys?
- I'm coming from an S2. How might i transfer apps and data onto the Z2? I was planning to use Titanium Backup but without root this doesn't seem possible
thanks in advance.

Are you saying that even if i root and lose the DRM keys, X-reality and trackID will still work?
If so, what are the DRM keys used for? i.e. what will break because DRM keys are gone?
Yes they will work, DRM = Digital Rights Management which is for protected digital content only

Ok, after more digging, it appears that the xperia Z line uses DRM to also lock things like "Bravia engine" (x-reality) and other things like screen mirroring.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53134830&postcount=328
even tho you can toggle it in settings, it is permanently disabled.
on a side note, regarding migrating over from S2 to Z2 when it doesn't support root, I found helium.

X-Reality can still work after unlocking your bootloader and rooting, plenty of threads.
X-Reality is not the same as Bravia engine
Screen mirroring, 4k video, blah blah blah, everything works except for the DRM related apps such as Music unlimited and Video unlimited.
Camera function and quality is also NOT affected.

Nothing at all stops working when you unlock your bootloader
There currently isnt any way to backup TA or drm keys
If you unlock ,your TA is wiped along with your data and internal storage
TA partition is where drm keys are stored
You can use google services to backup your apps and this can be found in your settings for some devices, there is app2zip which i use to use but i think app data doesent work right on KK
When i can ill be posting a ref/info thread on all you need to know in the QnA ill ask for a mod to pin it

Oh let me add some details i missed
All xperia devices that have KK 4.4 are not affected by Unlocking your bootloader, its been proven quite alot here on XDA,
Unless sony treat a spesific device differently which may be the Z1 which i doubt because KK FW for xperias are very alike, just minor config differences and device spesifics aside the kernel

Well remember this although KK being simular its based on Z2 firmware, sony are lazy, they dont rebuild, they port
So sony probably lowered quality of KK for Z1 in an attempt to lure people to other xperias but it seems to be failing

O maybe u got me a bit wrong
i mean the quality of camera on Z1 with LB is significantly better than a Z1 with UB, there's a thread about it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722106
(well, X-reality still works on UB Z1)
Unlike Z1, Z2 has no return for unlocking the bootloader. U cant swap between locked and unlocked to test the difference
so i doubt there might be somehow of difference between LB and UB in Z2 even if u still think photo looks great on UB Z2
Has any other sony kitkat devices made such test between LB and UB photo???
