Why don't buy normal ZU and root/flash to GPE?

Very hard to flash to GPe. Many bricked their phones doing so.

I've been toying that idea on my previous C6802 and found just too risky. I sold it cheap. Just last week, found someone selling the GPe and I bought it. Loving it since. No SOD, bugs and faster due to less weird crap apps. Now, 1 problem, KK disabled SD card write for 3rd party apps. On Sony pure ROM, also same issue but Sony apps can write onto SD card under Settings > Storage.

Does GPE have their own file manager? If so, give it a shot.

You can try flashing the tweaked GPE version from XDA. It is fast n easy just flashing from recovery. All the write issues to ext Sdcard is resolved. You need not even to wipe data.. But i didn't like it n flash back to stock kitkat using flash tool

Anyway, not planning to root the GPe because unable to backup TA partition. Otherwise will lose both X-Reality and ClearAudio+.

Waiting for exploit type root.
