Xperia Z UI | Best Game Experience | Battery Friendly | Butter Smooth
Hi, I want to present you my first work for this forum. I made this rom just for personal use but i want to share it with you all because i think i won't lose anything with that. I focused this rom on performance but without losing a beautiful UI. GingerZed has a extreme smooth experience and Apps will open instantly even when the frequency is locked at 134 - 460Mhz. I removed a bunch of Apps like Calendar, Calculator, Panorama etc. If you want to use it i can make a extra pack, but I think it will ruin my concept of this ROM. For now i just released for Unlocked Bootloader Xperia Mini Pro but in a close future I'll make a version for booth bootloader and all Xperia MDPI.

How to Install
This was the only way i found to make ROM fully Work
Install a GB kernel (Recommend Rage Kernel)
Enter CWM
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Wipe Cache Partition
Monts and Storage -> Format System
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
select zip from sdcard -> Select GZ 1.1 - Build08 - Part01
Wait for Installation to finish
select zip from sdcard -> Select GZ 1.1 - Build08 - Part02
Wait for Installation to finish and Reboot
The first boot take 1/2min, after that let the Rom settle down 5/6min before fully using it :good:

I hope this is the exception to many gb roms make faster but drains the battery very fast
thanks downloading and testing:good:

---

Bro I was waiting for a ROM like this!!
I'll try it as soon as possible, but first I would ask you some questions:
1. Does word suggestions work with the hw keyboard?
2. Does the camera have panorama mode?
3. How is the battery life?
4. Does all apps work without FCs?
Thank you.

---

Glad to see a compatriot in this forum & making such a good work to our phones. Will push your thanks button later, cause I reach my limit for today. Keep up:good:

I think an excellent proposal to adapt the xperia z as did the zelly cream for ice cream, I think it will be better in GingerBread, and it consumes less system resources, and is a faster, I know how much of battery care spending, and perhaps they give some suggestions as talves adapatar the ui, xperia z also the lockscreen

Thanks bro.
The HW Keyboard works 100% with suggestions.
Yes but camera isn't working ATM (making a fix).
In other ROMs (ICS/JB) my XMP has to be recharged every 20 hours but with this ROM i recharged it every 2 days.
Yes they do (expect camera/lockscreen for now).

After a lot of ICS and JB experiments i think all of us know's that GB is the King for Xperia 2011 ...Let s make it even better ! Really apreciate man ...But if you can use .84 as base it will be better i think

Thanks for the comment and for the tip mate, I will do it
Due to some problems in fixing the Camera and the Lockscreen I'll delay the Update to 1pm/13h (Portguese hour)
Don't know why but when i install fresh rom camera won't work, but it works from backup ​

You can OC up to 2Ghz with Rage Kernel, just for benchmark's. I personally use 134-460Mhz in this ROM and it works perfectly, just have to increase a little when playing 3D games.
