what is the difference between cyanogenmod based roms and stock based roms? on the bases of applications(if it is based on the apps only)
or is there any other difference i should know...??
I have Xperia Miro I want to upgrade it to kitkat but officially it haven't been released for Xperia miro so what i have to do to get my miro upgraded
Hi @Jayesh4all
Since there isn't an official Kitkat update for your device released, your only resort is to use custom firmware. It seems there are Alpha Cyanogenmod 11 builds for this device.
What is Cyanogenmod?
Code:
CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors.
CyanogenMod is based of AOSP and is the closest you'll come to stock Android. Bear in mind that this build is still in Alpha stages and will be buggy.
This is the only way you can use Android KitKat on you Xperia Miro.
Cheers!
Really helpful

thanks alot for your help :laugh:
so which would be better for now Kitkat or Jelly bean and if i update to jelly bean will i be able to upgrade to kilkat in future ??
This: {MIRO/TIPO/J/E}[DEVELOPMENT] - CM10 - FreeXperia Project seems to be the least buggy CyanogenMod build. Yes there is a good chance that they resolve the bugs for the CM11 ( Kitkat ) build and make it fully usable.
Cheers!
work on any ROM besides the stock KK?
I think any ROM based on AOSP will not work. Are there any stock based custom ROMS that i could try?
building a deodexed stock rom and building a better stock kernel/rom? 4.1.2
what are differences between stock rom and stock optimized rom ?
