when is that  HTC Max announcement?  by the way, thanks for the reply.

Above compact class. It is still better than Nokia pureview 808 and Lumia 1020 in terms of sensor size.

To put it simple, we have this category sensor size

1/3" (normal phone camera sensor size)
1/2.3" (normal budget compact cam sensor size) This is where QX10 sensor is and also Sony Xperia Z1, Samsung Galaxy Camera and Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom
1/1.7" (High end compact camera like Panasonic LX series, Olympus XZ series)
1/1.2" (Nokia pureview 808 size)
2/3" (high end compact like Fujifilm X10/X20)
1" (high end compact (Sony RX100/RX100MII) or mirrorless (Nikon J & V series) This is where QX100 sensor is
4/3" (mirrorless sensor size for all Panasonic and Olympus series)
APS-C (Sony NEX, Samsung NX, entry lvl and mid range DSLR)
Full Frame aka 35mm (High end DSLR with Sony RX1 and RX1R as exception for being fist compact with full frame sensor).

There are some sensor size also sit in between but they are not common size

Quick question, we can use any custom kernel pair with any custom ROM?

Yes..
Btw, do I need to s-off in order to flash custom roms? Or is rooting enough to flash custom roms?
