Posted on xda but not much traction, maybe some here can help

I'm currently running .257 (4.2.2) on my ZU

- Rooted
- Dual recovery installed (CWM/TWRP)
- TA backed up
- Locked bootloader
- Stock rom
- I have Androxyde's Flash Tool

Question:

Can i just pop in any custom ROM (4.3 or 4.4.2) and just run with it through CWM?
Or do i need to have some other preps done before making these upgrades?

Would appreciate any answers to help with my questions, as there is so much information now that it can get confusing...thanks!

Bootloader unlock is as simple as using the flashtool, right?

What comes after that? Can i just apply a ROM from sd?

thanks!

benny888, how's Carbon rom after these few days using?

i'm finding that i kinda miss the Sony styling (running GPe now) and may want to switch sometime in the future

also, what's a good screen protector (front/back) that is available? mine is pretty banged up already

thanks for the recommendations

i also did look at monx, and it looked impressive too.

never noticed PA on it, i was running it on my note 1 previously and enjoyed the phablet mode immensely, but since xposed came into the limelight, it doesn't really matter much anymore

Unlocked bootloader then went GPe version, not bad

then CandyRom released. Ohmai, so nais..

Don't bother going GPe, it's just stock, and boring

try the other roms, there's quite a few now that can keep you busy for a few days

CandyRom, SlimKAT, PA

So far i haven't found a reason to move off CandyRom yet

if you have purchased apps off the Play Store, you'd be better off staying on with Android, no? Otherwise it'll be a waste of $ buying the apps then moving on to another ecosystem. And WP i believe still has a little bit more to go before maturing into an app-rich ecosystem

are you using beta gapps? If so which version? And which version of candyrom?

interesting..i'm also running xposed but did not face this issue over 2 updates already

1. anywhere or anyone still selling the dock? know what's the cheapest pricing like now?

2. my camera seems to have some scratches right now, is this under warranty? (wishful thinking)
- more of the "coating" is being rubbed off. anyone experienced this?

looks like the UV coating rubbed off. Used a microfibre cloth and oakley lens cleaner to rub off the remaining. edges still have, but camera output now is back to normal (i hope)

anything longer than 1m?
