Finally got my phone to run smoothly with monx® rom. No more booting issues and lag  rclxm9.gif

Yep, monx® ★ monxDIFIED ★ ESSENTIAL SeXZ is better than niaboc79 eXistenZ [Black Edition] ROM a lot.

It is must smoother in overall, also same smooth as stock origin .253 or .307 during hiding the Phone Dial Pad, this never in niaboc79 eXistenZ [Black Edition] ROM, I am wonder niaboc79 is still using .434 one, even though niaboc79 said it is now all from new .253 version but the phone dial pad hiding is not smooth, it behave same as .434 one.

The only I dislike is monx® add-in too many un-use app where I need Titanium Backup or Root Explorer to manually remove it. Also, I need to manually change the Navigation Bar icon + use back stock no modified Launcher.

serious? okay.. because on youtube many of the videos they remove it and apply their own screen protector.. sweat.gif

you using clear screen or anti glare screen protector?
are you on a custom rom as well? AOSP based?

hmm i think i saw a review saying it wont void, but who wants the "SONY" logo to be taken off right.. not that we like to advertise, but having the logo makes it feels different while holding/using it, dont you think?

some say sony is trolling with the logo sticking onto their shatterproof screen guard. laugh.gif
*
I am pretty sure 99% user apply screen protector on top the shatter proof sheet. 100% no sensitivity issue and yes nilkin clear type screen protector is great. I am using it also.

Removed the shatter proof sheet do void the warranty. Unlocked bootloader also void and disabled BE2 engine in browsing photo and also DRM. Custom rom like CM or AOKP required unlocked bootloader. If plan unlocked, remember backup your TA before doing so to have chances restore back in future and return back complete BE2 engine and DRM. If you never backup TA and direct unlocked the bootloader, they is no more return back forever.

I use custom rom but not those CM or AOKP, those is bored, I only use it when stock not smooth, in Xperia Z I don't see need to switch over.

btw, hows the screen? i tested in sony center the other day, it looks quite blurry and not that clear.. camera as well
maybe the display model is still using the old firmware?

cuz some say after the firmware update, screen + camera became clearer.. right? laugh.gif

Yep, Sony Store Malaysia is lazy, never update firmware.

New firmware improve the screen quality and camera quality as well.

ok.. all can be found on XDA?
official firmware for msia, etc.

if yes when i bought it i'll start downloading all the necessary stuff.

Yup. No such things, all country firmware can cross flash, I did it since using 1st Android phone.

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Jun 13 2013, 10:22 AM)
that's the thing, there's no such thing as official firmware for malaysia anymore. pc companion/update service simply get the global LTE from any server and install it.
In short, just search for a global unbranded LTE installer, and you can install already..
*
Haha! Yeah!

QUOTE(mafioso @ Jun 13 2013, 10:27 AM)
i guess i'll take a snapshot of the firwmare version/details when i buy it. just in case..

but wont that void the warranty? if you install some other country's official rom..
*

You may enter following key to test out something.

*#*#7378423#*#* - Enter at Phone Dial Pad, this is Service Code.

If worried on warranty, once you root, the service center can reject also. It depends, and don't ever tell them you root before even you did. Just un-root back and flash back stock before send back. If can't un-root back due to completely dead, they can't find out also.

If not wrong Malaysia using same firmware as Singapore one or unbranded Global (not those Singtel edition) where you can find at XDA also.

i see.. sony seems to work differently..

samsung do have different country variants.. so if you flash a different country one = warranty void
does it work with odin? or thats only for samsung..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297717

is this the right place to get stock rom? nod.gif
*

Flash ROM not official is void warranty but you can flash back origin before send for repair.

Try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233312, it is older version unbranded Singapore firmware but you can get latest after that. I don't think got people post Malaysia version before at XDA. I think Singapore and Malaysia is same. At least it is always same for Samsung.

Actually can do own FTF from PC Companion, but need some step, just Google around.

They is two type Nilkin, below is the one I buy.
