Download Xperia Z Yuga Android 4.4 KitKat rom
After the official debut of Android 4.4 KitKat on Nexus 5, its the first time when Sony Xperia Z Yuga gets Android 4.4 KitKat rom. Although this rom is unofficial but almost every user claims it a stable one. The ROM is based on AOSP, so no recovery and no rooting. Sony Xperia Z is the first flagship device to get this update and even this update has been revised for three times till now which solves very bugs giving you a nicely build Android KitKat 4.4 for Xperia Z Yuga. We got this report via phonearena on xda-dev.

The two things which we should know before getting this amazing operating system on your android device are:
- You need to reboot your device twice if you want Calendar app to sync with Google.
- “Please Wait” tag will never end if you manually select a mobile network, you can press back button after some seconds and that will be okay!

Known issues
- Selecting a Mobile network manually will cause the ‘Please wait…’ dialog to stay even after the phone registered to the network. Just hit the ‘home’ button to make the dialog vanish.
- Syncing the Calendar with google may not work on a fresh 4.4 installation. Reboot your phone 2 times and it should be fine. (Seems to be a gapps issue, there is nothing i can do about it
)
