Changelog:
1-first version (private):
first release that it was about 10 versions that each one had to pass my tests (so i can find what made the rom not work well and remove-replace it)
2-public version(v1):
-removed xperia z lock screen (because of unstability. added as add-on)
-removed xperia z status bar from main rom (due to some bugs) and added the link from original thread in add-ons
-changed icons of apps
-some themings here and there
-removed some useless apps (because they are not useful for everyone)
To do list(for myself):
1-porting on-off switched from xperia 4.3 firmware
2-making xperia z lockscreen add-on again (unstable for now)
3-theming system-ui
4-theming setting a little bit more
5-adding one of tested google now add-ons in add-on section
6-porting this rom to other 2011 xperia devices
7-maybe adding armora installer
8-porting small apps with task switcher (it will take much time and i may fail in porting it because its very hard)

thread ready
enjoy this rom
(this is my first work so you cant expect a great rom like rom of great devs )

---

looks great on the screenshot :good:

---

why not use cm10?

---

because cm10 is not running games well but this rom is
but i was thinking about a cm10 version too because some of the sony features are more updated in cm10
but we have many cm10 xperia themed roms in this section
and we have somc debrand engine too

---

Bugs: 1)wifi doesnt work
2) Camera app stoped working

Project butter does not work on our Play, as stated by CosmicDan.
CM9 is faster when it comes to gaming too (other than the annoying bug that makes touchpads lag, well-known into CM10)

for me both of them is working
aren't you using lupus ics/gb with cm9 support ?
if yes thats the problem @krchi
jb is a little smoother in the rom itself
but lags will come in games and touchpad is not working well in jb too
i found a bug
touchpads are not working
i will upload the fix soon

Yes I used lupus I forget it cm9 which kernel can I used?

lupus cm9 is best kernel for this rom and im suing it too
_______________________
i saw that my pervious fix is not working because i digged into framework a little so i need a little time to fix the touchpads/gamepada again

---

@pedyvirus I found that Google play service gives FC in this rom
I have tried two versions but both of them give fc

Maybe its gapps problem ( im using one of the lightest gapps so maybe thats causing the problem)
Can you install full gapps and try this again?
Because im busy in reviewing xperia play for one of perisan sites now

---

i'm using the LuPuSv7 [STOCK ICS/GB & CM9] kernel and can't get wifi working too
by the way is a beautiful sony skinned rom
what fxp version are you using? the last is 2013-12-23...

---

im using latest fxp as my base
your problem is because of the kernel
install lupus cm9 kernel
_____________________________________________
sorry guys im in vacation so i cant come here too much

---

i tried, but that kernel doesn't have lupus menu and i don't now how to put my owns init.d scripts for kernel preferences...
Also, are the touchpads working?
if yes, is solved the circle button that acts as a back button?
cheers

---

well it doesn't have touchpad fix included sadly
i have problem in one of the parts maybe some one else can make touchpad fix for this rom
