[ROM][LB/UB] NEXPERIA | 10.4.B.0.569 Google Experience topic

Before we begin, you must agree that I'll be not held responsible if anything goes wrong or your phone gets bricked or lightning strikes it while following this guide. You try this guide at your own risk. This guide has been personally built and tested by me on my own Xperia ZR phone and works great without any issues. Make sure you read the instructions very carefully before you start.


The ROM is ready but I need testers before I release it to everyone on XDA. Please PM me if you want to help me testing it. :)


First of all, I say a very BIG THANK YOU @GROGG88 for giving me the permission to port this rom for our Xperia ZR. So all credit goes to him. Thanks man for this wonderful Rom. :)

Tips:

Gravity Box seems to cause issues with reboots through advanced power menus or from recovery. This is not a ROM issue, but related to Gravity Box.
