Ty but that is not what i asked. I asked if it's stable, that meaning less bugs than stock jb 4.3 from sony with 205 update.

SP since updated to .207 encountered as of this date (C5303) no bugs, gone - hanging screen and taking  scren shot is a breeze and charging is fast and no lags I don't play games with is phone.. I suggest you go to the link I provided above and read through from there to get a better idea of how it works..

Cheers!

ok, I have installed The Duxton (LBL) The automatic brightness WORKS!!! Great firmware, It is stable, phone works very fluently.

And I want to say: Dear Sony, do not bother with making firmwares, the community is well ahead of You. My last sony thing, I will never ever buy any sony product in my life. Dignity reasons....

Be doubly sure you know what to do before proceeding as it will void your warranty.

You have to install the cwm first. Than download the firmware you want(the duxton does not need an unlocked bootloader, one worry less), put it on your sd card. Download the gapps(google apps zip file for 4.4 kitkat) as well, if you want them on your device.
Switch on the phone, press volume up many times, when sony logo appears. That will open the cwm. There, wipe data/factory reset, than wipe Cache partition, than dalvik cache.
Select install zip from sd card, choose your file and wait 2 minutes. After that sellect gapps zip, if you want play store and others. Restart phone, and enjoy. Phone will be rooted as a standard too 🙂

Do not hesitate to try that, if not happy, you can flash back original firmware
