Sony wont debut a new flagship MWC 2015, so we wont get to see Z4 Ultra soon.
by the way, Sony is considering 1 year a flagship policy.

makes sense, since their mobile division is doing very bad now. They are also gonna cut 1000 jobs in a year time. Hopefully they can recover, just like HTC did

It has been a long journey guys.
I am going to update my customization tips but do take note, these are mostly premium apps biggrin.gif

1. Nova Launcher Prime
- The only launcher I use ever since I bought it. It support to cool gestures, backing up and plenty of custom icon packs support out there make this among the most customizable lightweight launcher.
RAM used: ~55MB

2. ROM Toolbox Pro
- It's not just to manage the custom recoveries or playing with kernel. For basic, I use it for changing my font and boot animations on-the-go. it's also the swiss-army-knife for rooted phone.
RAM used: none for font/boot animation tweaking.

3. roundR
- I don't really mind having rounded corner screen on my true black screen panel of XZU. the effect came out nice.
RAM used: ~16MB

4. GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys
- 6.44" is large but it's not 100% usable due to XZU having the soft navigation menu. Use this and tada, gone!
RAM used: N.A

5. Button Savior Pro
- Now that you removed the soft navigation, u can use either GMD Hide Soft Key's very own soft navigation or u can use this Button Savior. Button Savior Pro have much customization and better trigger positioning.
RAM used: N.A

6. Gravity Screen Pro
- thanks to uncle @benny888, this app is really good for me although I use it juz so my screen turned itself off inside my pocket. may seem like simple stuff but when u get used to it, it's really making ur phone somewhat smarter with its surrounding.
RAM used: ~2.7MB

7. Ultra Keyboard
- Resize, cursor navigation, skinning, emoji, typing precision adjustment, all I ever need for a keyboard. very good language, swiping and dictionary support too.
RAM used: ~40MB

8. Persist +, Volume Control
- My notification quick volume access. Perfect volume control access from anywhere notification bar is seen.
RAM used: ~34MB

9. SoundAbout Pro
- As an avid mobile multimedia user, I always carry around a portable bluetooth speaker with me. However, not ALL sounds go to that speaker (such as alarm tones). With XZU's internal speaker, I will never wake up so this app helps to divert ALL sounds to my bluetooth speaker whenever connected.
RAM used: ~2.7MB

10. Hangar - Smart app shortcuts
- There are times when you really want a cleaner home screen yet you want an easy access to your favourite apps. Hangar lets you access all your frequently used apps from your notification bar.
RAM used: ~21MB

11. ViPER4Android FX
- Audiophile most wanted app for any rooted device. Nuff said.
RAM used: ~5MB

12. Muzei
- A live wallpaper with very good blur effects. I enjoyed the classic art as wallpapers as well.
RAM used: ~23MB

13. Cover Lock Screen (Beta)
- What's much cooler than a lock screen that changes its theme everytime you are are proximity of your usual locations? Other than that, you have the ability to sneak peek an app too.
RAM used: ~20MB

14. Better Keyguard
- You hate pocket dial, you hate that large screen to be turned on inside your pocket and heats up. You know you need this to fix that issue. A good and lightweight app to save you some juice from being wasted when you are not using your phone.
RAM used: N.A

15. Timely Alarm Clock
- I don't know about you but this is byfar the most gorgeous alarm clock with very effective user experience. The same alarm that wakes me up without fail ever since I used it.
RAM used: ~37MB

16. Knock Lock
- Simple gestures make perfect sense in terms of usability. Taps to turn off the screen. Just that got me excited. LOL.
RAM used: N.A

17. Lux Auto Brightness
- There are a lot of mixed opinion on how useful this is on a screen with Triluminos and X-Reality Engine such as the ZU but trust me, brightness adjustment won't affect the fine contrast that the gorgeous phablet has. For me, the existing built-in adaptive brightness, hurts since the ZU is huge, change in brightness is significantly noticeable. Lux helps to smoothen the brightness adjustment which is ok for my eyes on changing lighting environment.
RAM used: ~11MB

Enjoy cool2.gif
