well no... i have no reason to root and use custom ROM cause i am extremely happy with this phone. the 2Gb RAM is awesome and i can use the phone the entire day without issues. unlike my htc one x, s3, s2 and etc.

so i was completely on stock.

as for the screen, no more flickering. its great. no issues. yes its one year only.

do u find the new replaced screen is better or just the same quality panel like before they replaced it? i kinda of hoping when i send my phone for warranty myb in december or january nex year, they will replaced it with a better screen panel

anyway, when u face the flickering issue, does it happen when brightness level is set to the highest? or 60% and above, like my case, really obvious when set to the highest brightness, especially with white background screen, can see the screen kinda vibrating. demm annoying,

still didnt notice screen flickering after update to latest firmware.. how about u? i might needto observe it for more days.. but these 2 days still didnt notice it even 100% brightness..

2nd report for Xperia ZL .67 fw:

1. Camera indeed got some improvement, cant attach here due to file size around 2.6-2.8mb each.. File size bigger, (BUT all of these only when u are using scene mode). I capture and put into laptop and view it.. colour is nice.. can compete with my iPhone 5, but average with friend S4.. S4 will more sharpen in sometimes. but colour not so good.

Recommend u all using scene mode only. Landscape (normal any view), Handheld twilight (nighttime, will blurry easy can use landscape too), Gourmet (macro near object).

Normal mode, photo is around 2.00mb -2.2mb.. Colour iis natural as what we see, but not vivid as in scene mode landscape. Good when u focus on some spot only and blur the background..

Still hvent update mine yet, and regarding the screen flickering on my phone, it is like an on n Off problem to me, there r Times when no screen flickering at all at highest brightness level, but then sumtime it appears. Really crazy la like this. Wana send for warranty also uncertain if the condition is like this.

try update ur phone.. might solve it.. coz me after update it, still didnt notice screen flickering again.

mine previously screen will normally flickering when charging was unplug.. will notice significantly.. until certain period, mostly below 50%, then no more flick/vibrate anymore.. almost every 2day or everyday.. at least now im update to latest firmwre, its really no more flicker/vibrate anymore.. but still under observation for coming days..

Sony claim to fix the display, battery, camera and improve performance..

Hopefully the display its mean is about screen flickering.. Hope everything become true as what sony claims.. temporary still ok with it

Should I update the latest firmware via PC Companion or via Flashtool?
Because mine is rooted on .244 version. Any feedback?

hi Guys, any good casing that can reduce shock impact and is usable without taking it out when charging via dock?

I Wana share few of my latest homescreen

pcc won't wipe ur current data. but flashtool will. so depend on you.

even you are root. after update, then root will gone ady.

guys, my XZ screen cracked yesterday...gone to sony repair centre at berjaya plaza, they quoted me RM978 to replace the screen. they said warranty didn't cover the cracked screen is there any alternative? coz it seems too expensive just to repair the screen

Ok updated to latest firmware .67 via Flashtool, noticed the launcher smoother than earlier version. Also there is New apps - Play Games ..

What is Widget called? Weather / Date and so on .. Kindly share

i see you extended with a lot of paid apps..

haha, not that many

still, you designed it to the point that people would actually wonder can XZ pull this mods off without lag.
kudos to you.

Nova launcher, minimalistic text, slider widget, media utilities and desktop visualizer.

im using mostly zooper widget. the calendar, weather are zooper. the wording e.g xperia z, vaio, sony and walkman are all zoopers, just use the correct fonts for each word. and since nova launcher is a 3rd party launcher, thus i unable to use walkman widget, therefore i create one by combining media utilities and zooper.

honestly speaking, wit all that, not a single lag i can feel. seriously. but i believe there are few factors that contribute to the no lag experience. the first factor is 2gb ram. believe me this ram is plenty. i still have 600++mb ram left. secondly nova launcher is very well manage memory app. cause it is really buttery smooth when i used it. third it could be because im on monx custom rom, myb the developer make a well optimize memory with the rom.

my design not really original, credit to xda forum, i got a lot of ideas from there, but demm most of them really creative.

Camera looks good after update , managed to snap this at my fren office.. Ohh my I cant upload here.. File too big
