So I just saw that the Sony Z Play edition is now available. I can't confirm because the Play Store Link isn't usable in my country.
If this is true does it mean we can pull the core rom from the the Sony Z edition and use it to help CM etc?
It's only the Z Ultra. And yes, Z Ultra GPE software will run on the Z Ultra without modifications. Will also really speed up Z1 development. For the Z there's not that much of an advantage.
I can only find mention of a Google edition Z Ultra, not a Z.

Yup, My bad, Like I said couldn't hit the link to verify. So I take it not much software can be ported to the z?

Nope, and there's not much point. The Z is very easy to develop for (there already are fully stable KitKat builds) and has a lot of hardware that's similar to the Nexus 4 which helps a huge lot.

Don't think so. you need unlocked bootloader since you have to flashboot the img first

I have the t mobile xperia z and I was hoping that because its a stock rom from sony the bootloader can be locked cause its same kernel and stuff from sony.
made sense to just be able to flash it.
it sucks there is no international LTE version that suits the US t mobile with unlockable bootloader.
I talked to sony and they say t mobile locked the bootloader which doesn't make sense!
maybe I should do a warranty exchange and talk to sony before hand and ask to get another with LTE and unlockable bootloader.

Development slowed down since there are no updates from Sony.. I am the one who likes to work on Official ROMs as it lets u use your phone with full hardware features working with stability...
You saw how I changed an Official Sony Stock ICS ROM to a completly AOSP ROM ... let JB come in, maybe I do same with that too but only if sony releases it..
For time being I dont think there is any use working on JB ROMs as performance will be the same and the extra features are not mind blowing enough to satisfy me of working on it...

Note:- just to clear m not really that dissapointed by the hardware its just the support the XZ not geeting..so m not a Sammy or HTC fan but yes I was immpressed by the HTC one its a great device..

What more development do you want to see, the Doomkernel is great there's 2 dif AOSP/4,2 kernels
Really when I was deciding for a kernel for my ARC, I just went with the best boot logo, why? THEY ALL DID THE SAME THING.

Tl;dr :we don't need 200 kernels that do the same thing. I'd rather have a team working on a super kernel, like krabbapels (Carbon team)

It's a very expensive device do you think it's affordable by everyone? The Nexus is quite more old than this one and the fact that they have the same processor might help to port things to this one. If you wanted a phone with lots of devs you should have gone for the Nexus then.
Also the fact that the Sony firmware are really well done makes it difficult to improve anything than just adding gimmicks.
PS. For not being a troll, your last sentence from the op looks quite trolling to me.

I Purchased this phone to try to get away from flashing a new ROM/Kernel every few days, and I'm not really sure the phone's software needs too much in my opinion.
I'm not saying it's perfect but straight out of the box this phone is pretty good.
If you do wan't to flash lots of mods buy a Nexus device! You will never get the same dev support outside the Nexus community.
I just hope Sony doesn't make me regret buying this phone with their slow update scheme.

Yes the Carbon team is developing for their own kernel ans Rom, I think its 8 members.
And f.y.i you shouldn't compare Z with Nexus4. Compare it with HTC1/GS4. They're in same price & release Range.
I think there's somewhat less of threads, but when you look at the actual topics. What so they have that we don't.
I want some optimisations..I dont think that the software is.optimized..for ex iron man 3 lags alot on the XZ dont know if its the game problem.or some thing with the XZ and I dont know about other phones like GS4 or HTC1 as I dont care about them I care about what I have..I want my Z to play every game out there as I think the hardware is.capable of playing them..

And 1 hour later you're sure that it's the game and not the phone... that goes fast, I think you just don't know what you want.
I came from the Galaxy Note and there were a lot more custom roms that right, but you're only thinking at one thing:
More options.
More roms doesn't have to mean that things will be optimized, many times it's just a GUI difference, if you just want that why not invest your time learning UCCW the possibilities are endless and the good thing is that you can use the same setup on almost every phone, you can't do that with custom roms.
The biggest downside for me:
Example: Lets say you install Custom rom X made by developer Y, what happens when Developer Y buys another phone and decides not to do anything anymore with Custom rom X, that means no more bug fixes and you're stuck with a rom that isn't supported anymore.
The more custom roms the more chances of that happening.
Sony has confirmed that the Xperia™ Z will get the freshly announced Android™ v4.3 Jelly Bean
Are you happy.
Note:
No any exact date that when it will be available.

Seriously??? Good news???? The Z was always going to get 4.3. Not getting it would have been disastrous.
It's a question of timing. When? This year? Next year?
The Z right now, more than anything else, needs a flipping update to sort out this buggy 4.2 crap laggy Rom.
Sometimes, I feel it has a mind of its own. I regularly pull my phone out of my pocket to discover strange goings on like mobile data off, Bluetooth on, so many apps open.
It's like it goes totally berserk sometimes.

But is is so easy to update to a Global 4.2.2. You are on XDA, that means you are not the average Joe, update with the tools the people over here provide us with.
Must whining and complaining infest every thread regarding updates? Even when good news is announced, the usual suspects surface to moan.

Sure. The phone works fine without it. Just like it worked fine when everyone had the pitchforks and torches out because they thought Sony were taking too long over the 4.2.2 update.

Works fine for me. I did a 'dirty' update via PCC without any wipes. I only suffered slight lags in the stock launcher, so I swapped to Nova.
This isn't my point anyway. Any time updates are even mentioned, the same people appear to whine about the same things over and over. Complaints about 4.2.2 are nothing to do with this thread in any case.
