How To Upgrade Sony Xperia Sola to Android 4 4 2 Kit Kat by CM 11 ROM
Sony Xperia Sola was released back in 2012, but is still now popular because of its some specifications and price range. The device has minimum requirements for running Android 4.4.2 KitKat in a mobile phone. I thought of writing an easy tutuorial for you guys so you guys can upgrade your GingerBread device to latest Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat OS.
Xperia Sola has decent specifications like 5 Mega Pixels camera, 1 Ghz Dual Core Cortex-A9 processor, Mali 400 GPU, which makes it actually a gaming phone. Mali 400 is one of the best affordable graphic cards for android mobile phones and it is far better than Adreno 200 and Adreno 203. Also, it can record videos up to 720p HD with 30 FPS. The bad thing or cos I found in this device is the chipset, but its not too bad, just talking that if it was SnapDragon then it would be better.
Not talking about the specifications of this device, I will move to the ROM, that is CyanongeMod 11 ROM. We all know about cyanogenmod ROM these days that the ROM is highly customisable, stable, fast and a secure ROM. But what are the features that stock android doesnt provides us? These are FREE Anonymous data usage or incognito mode, DSP Manager, Focal Camera application, CyanogenMod Toolbox or in short, the customisable settings etc. There are many features and thats the reason that the ROM is the best in custom firmwares for android. After downloading and flashing the ROM in your Xperia Sola, you will get to know about this too. I hope you are a rooted user, because if you are not rooted then you cannot flash the ROM. Also I hope you reached here because you have ClockWorkMod Recovery or any other custom recovery? If NO then please search how to root Sony Xperia Sola and How To Install CWM Recovery in Sony Xperia Sola. After rooting your device, you can follow the steps which are mentioned here. Lets start our journey with the requirements!

Lets start our journey with the requirements!
Requirements and Downloads
- Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat CyanongeMod 11 ROM for Sony Xperia Sola: Click HERE. (Download CM11 Build only!)
- Google Apps: Click HERE.
Things which you need to see before you install CyanogenMod 11 Android 4.4.2 ROM in your Sony Xperia Sola
- Make sure you are a rooted user and have CWM installed in your handset.
- Dont install/flash this ROM on any other device because it may result in bricking up.
- Dont flash the ROM until you make a proper Nandroid backup with all partitions backed up.
- The ROM will take atleast 1 minute to boot up because the Firmware will build its file and all so dont panic and shut the device off.
- Dont follow anything which is not mentioned in this article.
How To Install Android 4.4.2 KitKat (CM11 ROM) in Sony Xperia Sola
- Download the ROM and Google Applications on your PC.
- Move it to SD Card of your Sony Xperia Sola.
- Shut down the device and reboot it to recovery
ADB SHELL
SU
REBOOT RECOVERY - After rebooting it to the CWM or any other recovery, select Backup and restore and select Backup to make a full backup of your current ROM.
- Select Wipe data/factory reset from the main menu to wipe the user data.
- Select Advanced and select /format system option to format your System partition.
- Now, select Wipe dalvik cache in advanced.
- Finally, select Flash a zip from sd card from the main menu and select your ROM which you recently downloaded and moved to your SD Card.
- Confirm the flash and wait for some time.
- Again, select Wipe data/factory reset option.
- [Optional!] Flash Google Apps by selecting Flash a zip from sdcard and confirming the flash.
- Reboot!
This boot will take more time than the usual backup because the CyanogneMod 11 or Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat ROM is building dalvik cache, data, and other required files to boot the system. It will not take more than 1-2 minutes. If it is stuck anywhere, then pull the battery of and reboot to recovery. Wipe the data again and then reboot.

How To Install CyanogenMod 11 ROM Android 4 4 2 In Motorola Moto G
CyanogenMod is the best custom ROM or firmware for Android currently. There are many other ROMs like CarbonROM, MiUi, Lewa OS etc. which are popular but CyanogenMod ROM is mother of these ROMs! There are many reasons for that like when the new version of Android releases, CyanogenMod releases their next Firmware or ROM version as soon as possible but in less than 1 week after the release. That makes people to download the ROM and not only this, the ROM provides many features that stock roms dont provide like DSP manager, Focal application, Theme support, better and faster notification bar, better and modified call application, fully cusomtizable, all blotwares, light launcher, VPN like application which allows you to surf internet anonymously.
I am now fed of writing the long features of this ROM so you can see some features of this ROM in my older post on Samsung Galaxy S for this ROM.
You can Google too about the features of this ROM and other details of this ROM and about CyanogenMod. Lets first of all see prerequisites and downloads and then finally the main guide of installing the ROM in your device

Galaxian Custom ROM for Lava Iris 405 Full Samsung ROM
Do you like a Samsung device just for TouchWiz UI and features and are dying for buying it? Then go and buy the device. Heres the solution for Lava Iris 405 users who want a Samsung device just for UI and for nothing else. You can try this superb ROM made by my brother from another mother Vipul Verma. Hes a great developer, he has also ported REAL CyanogenMod 9 to Lava Iris 405 but fixing some bugs in it, other than it, he ported MiUi, LeWa OS, Xperia Z1 and other ROMs to Lava Iris 405 already. He also ported CWM and TWRP Recovery to the device.
He worked more than 1 month for his ROM, and he was having his exams too which delayed the release of ROM, anyway, but the ROM is released today so you can be happy.
He is a great developer, and I think he deserves a lot of thanks because of his work. The custom ROM is having real Samsungs SystemUI (statusbar) and other Samsungs file which makes it look like a real Samsung ROM.
Lets see features, screenshots, requirements, downloads and installing guide of this superb ROM.
