If you want to get a sneak onto your Xperia Z changes that will be offered with the next update to Android 4.4.2 KitKat listed for next month, you can now rely on the leaked firmware released by the developer DooMLoRD, being the first leaked firmware based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat for Sony Xperia Z devices.
DooMLoRD has kept his promise, and after he showed us some screenshots of the Sony Xperia Z with Android 4.4.2 KitKat on board, made available for download the leaked firmware to the latest version of the Google OS.
The official release by Sony for developers and internal testers is not yet available to the end users, but with this you will be able to proceed with the installation manual. I recommend installing it if you want to try a preview of the new features that will be introduced on Xperia Z with the latest embodiment of Android as the same DooMLoRD explains that this is rather ” laggy ” and, therefore, does not guarantee a good experience of use.
The firmware leaked identified by the builds number 10.5.A.0.227 is in ZIP format and you will need to install it on a Sony Xperia Z with a custom recovery installed and unlocked bootloader, which results in the loss of warranty, so I advise you to install only if you are an experienced user.
From the first test and comment in the forum XDA, the new firmware 10.5.A.0.227 is fairly stable, but not very responsive and perhaps not ready for daily use, but those who want to experiment Android 4.4.2 on their Sony Xperia Z, can download the file from here and follow the detailed installation instructions directly from the XDA forum.
Certainly, the end result will be much better, in the official firmware that will be released beginning next month there will be no bugs or lag, also the performance, as well as the stability of the entire system, will be improved.
As always we look forward to your comments and feedback on the new update.
