The best custom rom for xperia mini, pro, activa , and lww has been kamarush's MINICMSandwich lite AOSP, today he released his v3 kernel and v4 Rom, (thank you kamarush!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
however there are a couple of things which we liked about the v3 rom (original aosp lite) and it has been changed/removed on the v4, i humbly request kamarush to took a look at this, im sure there are other ppl who feel the same way too (pleaze!)
minicmsandwich_se_aosp_lite VS update_minicmsandwich_lite_final
advantages in older version (aosp lite)
1)automatically downloaded internet settings for gprs date (v4 doesnt) , so that means for users who dont have wifi, we have to manually configure apn settings (not easy in india) and no file manager included so without data we cant even install applications to try on v4 rom!!!! (if no wifi)
2)live wallpapers excluded (the ics bubbles, and phase beam lwp are hard to find over the internet (in .apk format)
3)rom v3 felt more complete... let me elaborate on this one :
The New "Rom Control" included in v4 ... some of the options dont work properly ... like changing recent apps window to palm os stlyle, or sense style) , dont work , enabling boot screen wont work, (automatically checks "disable" after restart), the option to include auto kill all apps in recent wont work, and also the brightness control in the pull down bar is awkwardly aligned right (with no brightness icon on the left) , and THE whole ROM doesnt feel as lite as the v3. in v3 we could make the pull down bar look super cool , by flashing ics reloaded patches (google it) . // its okay to exclude all the AOKP rom control complications and revert back the previous version ...original aosp lite (was de best)
4)the contacts app in v4 aosp final lite has a ugly white and light blue ui rather than the dark black and ics blue ui like in the initial cmsandwich aosp lite. No options for "only display contacts with phone number" so contacts displays all the crap in ur google contacts...
Disadvantages Of v3
1)auto ration 2)camera 3)gsm data 4)vid recording 5)HD playback in gallary 5) games
A Perfect Custom Rom For These Devices (im a noob, or i would do it myself, so i rely on experts like kamarush for the job)
1)SE application installer , or samsung like file manager pre installed
2)auto gprs settings dowloading
3)stock camera, music app installed
4)may include DSP manager
5)all HW features fully working
6)may not include complicated features like "rom control" (aokp stuff)
7)may include "reloaded ics" status bar patches (only worked wid previous cm sandwich lite)
8)2.0 ghz overclock
9)may include cm7 like simpleness in changing lock screen, battery icon n stuff , also cm7 like settings (i haven't seen cm9 settings yet)
10)sticks closely to stripped down ics stock looks (dark blue and cayan blue lines)
//basically put ...all we want is a clean CM9 for xperia mini/mini pro/lww
kamarush AOSP lite Final :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705255
advantages : latest patches n os, all hw working,
kamarush AOSP lite (v3) previous version :
http://goo.im/devs/kamarush/MiniCMSandwich_Lite
disadvantages: auto rotation,cam,gsm data not working.
advantages : much more lite, n simple, contacts app looks good and has option to display names with phone numbers only,
better looking status bar (supports
reloaded ics status bar patches )

Hi, this is the official thread for my first custom rom, QuantumMod.
I will hopefully be adding download links for this rom next week.
Features:
Based on psyke83's CM7.2 port
New custom theme
Themed system apps and widgets to match system theme
New boot animation
Some system apps added
All notification sounds, alarm sound and ringtones from cm7, cm9, cm10 and stock roms added
Custom font for the whole system (eurostile)
LCD density of 100, makes device feel like it has a larger screen
Changed VMheap size
And some more stuff I haven't added yet...
This is only version 1.1 and it's my first rom so please be kind
Download links to come soon...
No "Coming Soon" threads. Post it when you have it.
Requirements:
1. A rooted Samsung Galaxy Star.
2. CWM version 6.
Steps:
1. Install Xperia Pirates ROM. For help go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748747. 80% of job done. Now its time to do small things that really matter.
2. You can install stock Sony Apps (like a Normal apk). Unfortunately I could not make stock phone and messaging app on our phone. Apps are included in attachments.
3. Although the ROM themes the elements, the progress bar is not that Xperia like, so install Smooth system progressbar (Xposed Module).
4. The Lockscreen Remains unchanged, install Xperia lockscreen from this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687654.
5. What's still missing is the bootanimation, unfortunately I could not find Xperia bootanimation, if you find it, please comment with the link
Some instructions to make the ROM more meaningful and beautiful
1. Change android version to 4.4, because by default it comes with 4.4.2 xperia pirates, but on launching the easter egg, you find 4.4. You can change it by editing build.prop.
2. Keep the font size of the home screen and app drawer at 13.9. you can change it in launcher settings.
3. You can use seeder to reduce lag.
If I have helped, click thanks :laugh:

Hi everyone !
Today I will explain how to install the theme SamSonya v4.8.2 , because we don't have any customs roms or full modded themes to flash through recovery, we will go with "Superuser mod" ! ;- ) I tried last night on my Z3 and it worked perfectly !
If you are not sure of what you are doing; don't go further !! You alone will be responsable in case of problems with your phone ! And above all , remember to make a backup before any manipulations !! I'm not the author of this theme, i'm just sharing this beautiful theme to the Z3 community.
Pre-requisite :
- D6603 Model (If someone can try on other models and tell me if it's working)
- be on firmware 23.0.A.2.93 / 105 (Not tested yet on latest .77 firmware but should works too as it's still android 4.4.4)
- Unlocked bootloader
- Rooted
- Xposed installed ( Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer)
- Serajr module installed (v3.3) and "Superuser mod' activated (Link : http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.serajr.xperia.xposed.kk)
Download link :
Update V9.2:
- Added Support for stock applications "download"
- Added Support for clock widget
- Added, As an experiment, some animated icons (missed call, sms, notification of charging, the charging indicator (lightning)
This is blue version: SamSonya-blue-v9.2.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/af8dee9896cd/SamSonya-blue-v9.2.apk
This is blue version, with "Xperia" nav bar: SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Xperia.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/76ed5e1101af/SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Xperia.apk
This is blue version, with "Sony" nav bar: SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Sony.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d442c9349845/SamSonya-blue-v9.2-Sony.apk
And this redyellow version, with "Sony" nav bar: SamSonya-redyellow-v9.2-Sony.apk : https://cloud.mail.ru/public/95be99865665/SamSonya-redyellow-v9.2-Sony.apk
Installation :
Once you have completed all the prerequisites , install the previously downloaded theme , then go to Settings / Personalization / Themes and choose and apply the theme "SamSonya" .
After you apply this theme, remember to restart your Z3 for all the changes to applies
And here you are with a Xperia Z3 better customized than with official themes for Sony ...
PS 1 : Go to Settings/Input and Language/Xperia Keyboard settings/Skins and choose the "black Skin", it will be fully themed ! thanks @runels !
PS 2: Feel free to play with the settings of the Serajr application to modified even more your phone ! For example, go to Serajr app, then go to System UI, activate it, scroll down a little, check thefollowing boxes :
- "applying the colors to the content"
- "Colored softkeys buttons"
etc...

Are you trying on Odex?
Basiacally its developed for ZL/Z and should change about 90-95% of system interface. On another models superusermod will be required. Tested and fully adapted for: ZL, Z, ZR, Z1, SP, M2Dual, Z2.
Xperia Z2 (with latest 4.4.4) and Z3 are not fully adapted jet. (dialwindow and may be something else)
This variant of theme is for 4.3-4.4.x roms with root, deodex, blackthemed.
Up to now there are 5 variants for blackthemed roms and 3 variants for light.
Full list of changing items you can see while theme applying.
Sorry for english.
I'm still odex, i try to flash the de-odexed firmware .93 on my phone but when i reboot my phone just messed up, i try several times but no luck... So for now, i keep it that way.
I know that Xperia Z3 wasn't include in the model phone list compatible for this theme, but i thought i might give a shot, and even if all the system are not themed for now, it's quite a start and most importantly, it doesn't messed up the phone, so that's a good thing ! I mean no FC or whatsoever...
Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to adapt this theme for our Z3, it will be great !
And by the way, i love the blue keyboard on your screenshot ! Wish i have it on my Z3... That's why we need to get this theme on our Z3.. I'm starting to think that rom custom development will never comes out for our precious...
I think the best would be to take black theme for Z2 as a base, as the system it's almost similar with Z3...
I`m the author of this theme.
Ab keybord: check keyboard skin settings. Now you are using 2-d skin, try 3-d (dark) variant. It should be fully colored by Theme.
Sorry but what is "ab keyboard" ? Can you provide me a link ? That would be easier.

The theme isnt contain 3d party aplications, all changes only in system.
Icons you can find inside theme at the folder "assets"
Do you think that we can manually replace the stock icons by those from your themes ?
EDIT : Nevermind.. I tried to replace "Conversation.apk and¨Phonebook.apk" and it didn't worked as i expected
Would it be possible for you @runels just to take a look to help us to make this theme fully or as least a little more compatible for our Z3 that it is actually ? I can be your tester, and i can provide you the files you need
Even a donation from me is possible if necessary
Why not? If you have some experience on it.
Adaptation to Z3
1- need root, deodex, superusermod and mostly preferable blackthemed phone interface. In this case you should see maximum changes. I think only incall window isnt adapted to Z3. All other items should work perfectly.
2-send me max. number of screenshots where something isnt changing.
Only after this I will see the variants.
Well i'm not a noob, far from it, but i never developped anything, but i like to test it on my phone !!
This theme is update to v8.4.3
Sent from my D6502 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes i know, i have to update the OP.
I already installed it and sadly, it doesn"t change anything... It's exactly themed like the v8.4.2
Any icons are changed...and the blackground of settings, phonebook and messages is (sorry to say this, as i respect the developper of this theme) quite ugly. Maybe it's because it's not fully compatible for our Z3 yet that it looks like that but i hope someone will change it very soon !
I blakthemed the phone isn't possible yet without Custom Rom like "Criskelo Rom", or maybe by modding the system framework.apk
First of all, you need to read the Theme changelog. Thats why you cant find changes. All current versions and changelog: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=436246&view=findpost&p=28412348 (sorry, but only in russian for the moment)
Current verson 8.5 (for blackthemed)

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/2266dcc4c4ca/SamSonya-blue-v8.5.apk
Thanks for your answer
But what the difference between those 2 links you just provide ? For me, it looks like these 2 themes are the same.
Maybe you can help me @runels, i'm not deodexed right now cause i didn't succeed to get the deodexed .93fw working on my Z3... If i was deodexed, do you think that the theme will worked better ? I mean, myabe more stuff will be themed ?
Or do i have to get absolutely Blackthemed settings framework/Custom rom for the theme to be successfully working ?

Let me have a guess...
Android v 4.2.2
Based on Xperia v2 ROM ( from the A919 Tool app icon and the normal nav bar icons in screenshot no. 2, and also the background in screenshot no. 1 where a message is seen saying that " Actually I was bored with Xperia v2 ROM so I made this ROM. " )
Changed Framework apk and systemui apk
Added Samsung Apps like the launcher and calendar, etc.
Updated GmsCore.apk (or Google Play Services to be simple)
Did not edit and/or change the data folder
Followed any MTK porting guide
Did a quick port today ( from the date and time in the screenshots )
Better RAM management -- Tweaked minfree values would be my guess
Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.

Did not change the Flashlight app (TinnoLED.apk)
Brighter Flashlight -- Not as easy as he hoped. He would need some redirection of app processing power to the flashlight app to increase its importance, and thereby increase the flashlight brightness. I'm guessing he hasn't done that, so you'd better remove that line.
Did not change the default time zone in build.prop settings (It is set to phillipines time. )
Neat. Good attempt.
Bugs :
Transparent Status Bar
From the screenshots, it is apparent that the Status Bar isn't transparent. You mean that the background of the Notifications panel is transparent. Status Bar transparency refers to the status bar having the colour of the app's upper part. Like in the first screenshot, the status bar (the part with the battery charging info, network signal info, clock, etc.) should have the colour of the app. (like its background should have whatsapp's green colour while running whatsapp)
But, that is more of a misconception than a bug.
Here is a bug which he cannot fix.
3g support on both SIMs.
For that, you need hardware support. It is wrongly mentioned in the Xperia ROM v2 too. I have tried and tested that in almost all other ROMs like MIUI v5, Xperia ROM v2, Stock ROM, etc. and it all comes down to the same thing. YOU NEED HARDWARE SUPPORT FOR 3G IN BOTH SIMS.
A piece of advice : Do not bet that there won't be an bugs at all. Each and every ROM might have a bug that the developer might have overlooked.
Here are some things your friend might have done or should do if he hasn't done yet.
Changing the build.prop setting of ro.product.**** to that of Karbonn's from MyPhone Agua Cyclone ( Xperia ROM v2 was built on that phone's ROM )
Add Material Design Apps from Apkmirror like Gmail 5.0, Maps, etc.
Try porting Kitkat ROMs to Jelly Bean based devices by modifying the installation procedure to include the priv-app folder
Try porting CyanogenMod to this device
Help me in porting Carbon ROM and/or CyanogenMod 12 to this device.
Mention how he got the updater script to work properly and install the ROM perfectly in TWRP and Philz Recovery
Sign the ROM using ZipSigner app and then upload it.
Add more features to it
Here are a few suggestions :
Update the version of SuperSU and then install it.
Make the Xposed Framework built-in. ( Not to be installed manually after installing the ROM )
Pre-install GravityBox or XBlast tools.
Odex the apps folder for better RAM usage
Increase the wifi supplicant scan interval
Throw in some paid apps for free.
Increase the net buffer size
Add the X-Reality engine
ZipAlign all apks.
Add some more fonts ( other than Choco cookie )
Add more sounds for ringtones, audio, etc.
Mention all these to him, and if possible, ask him whether he could help me to develop other ROMs for this device.

Yeah, I just thought I should type out my thoughts about the ROM and then wait and see your reply. Sorry for that, though.

You used some MTK porting guide, didn't you ?
Another thing, what do you mean by Material L ? Do you mean to say that you have ported an Android L ROM to this phone ?
I think you have just ported some ROM with just the Material Design UI, as seen in the screenshots (They do not have the Android L Navigation Bar Buttons. )
You could try replacing the permissions in that, as most likely, that would be the root cause of many such errors. A permission file related to the camera settings could be improperly coded, and/or might have a bad file, either corrupt or something like that.
I just needed this tiny favour from you of creating a proper, working update-binary and updater-script inside a META-INF folder which can be used for all my ROMs. If that is over, you'll be seeing those ROMs on XDA quite soon.
Another thing. In the CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop ROM which I am porting, the apps folder has individual folders for each app. So, the flashlight app is in system/app/flashlight/flashlight.apk . Could that be the cause of the ROM not installing properly ? I'm going mad over that as that was the first time I have seen any ROM with apps grouped like that.
Thanks in advance for your contribution.
