About Iridescent_Zed_ROM
This ROM comes with the purpose of delivering the beautiful user interface from Xperia Z/Sony firmware 4.2.2 with stability. As now we have quite a lots of ROM with Xperia Z1 user interface but we can never overlook the beautiful Z user interface we have been missing. So, we made this ROM to present you the most dedicated, beautiful look & features which we were yet to experience before.

Nice port

---

it looks perfect (my dad owns a xperia z) so i'll compare later. as for the touchpads, you could always ask markphyton or crigiu for help. :fingers-crossed:

---

I can fix touchpads for cm based roms but im not sure if its the same for fixing stock based roms too @markphyton can you help me ?

---

I decided to test this ROM as it looks pretty sweet.
Tinted StatusBar doesn't work with this status bar very well. You can't change the colour of the status bar in the status bar, which is annoying as I like having a transparent status bar on the home screen and a white status bar with black text for messages.. just makes everything look nice :/
Any fix for this?
Also I pushed SemcAlbum.apk onto my device (after cleaning out some space in /system/) just to be able to change the lockscreen wallpaper, but it forcecloses every time I have to crop the image..
Any advice?

---

Look at super jellybean thread
There is a fix for that roms album
Go there and install it as a normal app only

---

Hi pedyvirus, would this ROM work on Neo L? And how large system partition it need? 310 MiB is enough or I need to install 410MiB kernel?

---

310 mg is enough for now
I only need the 410 mg kernel for adding all the futures
For neo l please test and report problems
I will try fix them if you had any

---

xda double post bug
please delete

Looks Nice... If this one works better than Markpython's ROM, I will stick to this one...
Edit: also, not to be anoying or bother the OP, but please delete de "Both BL" Legend on the Title... Remember that in Play, in order to install any ICS ROM you've gotta have Unlocked Bootloader...

Sorry I didn't word that correctly, I love the statusbar of this ROM!
I mean I want it transparent or something, Tinted Status Bar doesn't seem to change the colour of it so making it transparent may fix that.. but i cant seem to edit the xmls as I'm getting errors :/
Heres the compile error:
