Actually this is not the release you're waiting for, This AOSP release is for the Custom ROM users to build a Lollipop ROM for your Sony phone. These pre-build software binaries and build instructions do not include Sony’s typical software, meaning, things like the camera and modem are not operational, but it's totally Okay.
