If your root fail, kindly make sure your ADB Driver install correctly and working as it suppose. Thanks!! :clap

I myself won't get it, I find it is middle high range only. The front camera is crap at VGA and too thick even though it is Water Proof now but just really too tick, also don't talk on it 720P screen.

The front camera is crap at VGA and too thick even though it is Water Proof now but just really too tick, also don't talk on it 720P screen. ZR not bad for the protection. Price I'm not sure. But based on rrp, it is a budget high end phone. Hardly to find quad-core with 2gb ram. But other than these, all hardware are not so desired. But those want smooth and snappy performance with around rm15xx. It's the choice. I discuss it in rrp. If compare with market price. ZL is the best choice. But depend on user preferences. Some want water resistant, show off or extra protection. Some want quality. Both also good to investment. Will got further take care by Sony yet.

QUOTE(refnulf @ Jul 6 2013, 07:02 PM) Hey andrew, wipe first, or install then wipe for the monx? The way I do is: - Boot to TWRP
- Select the ROM zip.
- Add [[NUT] Dual Boot Recover. zip.
- Flash both.
- Wipe Dalvik Cache. (select the left button beside reboot at TWRP)
- Reboot.
- Camera Common will FC here and there after 1st boot, lockscreen widget not working.
- Goto Settings - Backup & reset - Factory data reset.
- No more FC for Camera and lockscreen widget working back.
- I dislike page indicator auto hide did by monx®, so I replace with niaboc79 one via Root Explorer.
- Immediate restart the phone after replace. (remember with correct permission set)
- Done!

Just go senq compare s4, HTC one and ZL in camera aspects. Professional review s4 is the best. One and ZL ok ok. But from my unprofessional review, found one not good as professional review. S4 and ZL almost sane quality. Not as details as professional review. I'm captured 2 meters far brochure. The small word as focus point. One super blur. S4 same as ZL. Can read the words yet. But do have noise too. But s4 is better in stabilization. In dark area, one and ZL performed better. Looks bright but s4 is natural colour but darks

I still not sure whether to flash any honami ported Rom as it came from a leaked version. also I believe this honami leak isnt the finalized version, myb still beta stage. I hate buggy Rom.
