yeah you shouldn't expect too much, after all fxp just started developing for the xperia j, it should be better in one or two updates. Fxp will constantly improve the rom as time goes on.
As for Sony's jelly bean update it should be live when they release the xperia z and zl.

most stock based ics roms should not need a unlock bootloader, but they will not do much, maybe give you root and trim some bloatware.
Plus lets me configure init.d, launch scripts doing lot of things during boot (like mount extended SD card formatted as ext4), get rid of commercials, run my own scripts doing backups or searches, replacing non critical system applications...
Firewall is important thing for me, too.
Cannot block all what I would like but I can at least partially slow down private information leaking.

For Any Development or if you want to install any custom Rom you need to unlock bootloader which voids warranty..this happened to me when i was on Xperia U and was scared to unlock bootloader but i did and void my warrant and enjoyed all custom Rom's later i sold it But Yes If u want to install any custom Rom's you need Unlock Bootlader Which I Think Sony is not allowing for this device....

[Q] Stuck after Sony Logo

I just rooted my Xperia L using this method http://www.waledacdroid.com/2014/01/how-to-root-sony-xperia-l-c2104-c2105_16.html.
After the process I downloaded Root checker to verify my root access. It says it has root access already. So I assumed that my unit is already rooted. Next thing I did was I downloaded DextroDroid v3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-l/development/rom-dextrodroid-v2-t2598697) and follow the steps to install it.
I followed the procedure properly but I was stuck at after Sony logo and I can't pass through it. Please help.

to install custom ROM you must unlock bootloader,to root you can flsah kernel like's thunderzap or phantom kernel so you can flash latest superuser
but if you install cm11 you doesn't need to root again,cause it's already rooted

1.if you just want to root and dont want to UBL , follow that link.
2. Some kernels comes with intergrated cwm..like thunderzap ,phantom..! TO USE THOSE KERNELS YOU HAVE TO UNLOCK YOUR BL.
3.if you want to use custom rom like cm,
You have to unlock your bootloader.
I hope I cleared your doubts..
EDIT : there is a cwm for locked bootloader too...search in android development section..!

ROM of any other device cannot be ported on Xperia C because for that we have to make and flash a custom kernel and that is not possible because Xperia C has a locked bootloader which does not allow flashing of Custom Kernels.

Not the phone number.
But you can email me at [email protected]
Downgrade is same as upgrade.
Step one get a ftf file.(to get ftf file of 4.4.2 just search on xda or xperiFirm)
Step two open flash tool reboot device in flash mode select ftf file in flash tool in wipe menu un mark data and click on flash.
Wait for it to be flashed.
OR
Root using 4.4.4 method. Only thing you loose is cwm. But if you know flashing well then you can always flash cwm and use it then revert back to stock.
